Cuban Ambassador
Smart, Brings
Own Food Along

Mhen the NoAlhlul Autdu am
bassador 10 the United States and
his wife sailed recently on the
Queen Mary for London, their bag
gage included bulky packages and
mysterious square boxes. The oc-
casion for the trip was TO attend
the preparatory commission meet
ing o. the United Nations Organiza-
tion.
The ambassador is S7.year-old
Guillermo Belt and some persons
might believe he was loaded down
with documents and books on inter
national law.
Instead, they were taking 100
pounds Of Virginia ham and boxes
cramued with timed meats which
should prove useful in London,
where food still is scarce. Some
Of their hungry London friends no
doubt will appreciate an invitation
20 dinner.
BEST INFORMATION on CAPT.
TOL HILL is that Congress eyentu-
ally will dig down into Uncle Sans
pocketbook 10 loan Great Britain
a few billions again-this time for
postwar reconstruction and recon
version.
Rumblings OF discomfort have
been growing in Congress over
the British policy in Palestine, but
they are not expected TO drown out
the pleas for a four or five billion
dollar loan.
Members OF the House and Sen
ate regard the financial transaction
as a matter of hard-headed self
interest, although most OF them
wouli have moved quicker il Down.
ing Street had needed the United
States plea for free entry Of Jews
into Palestine.
In some quarters there is talk
OF attaching a rider TO the loan
grant in an attempt TO pry the
doors OF Palestine open, but such
a move is almost certain to meet
with defeat.
The concensus Is that Britain will
get hei credits when she sets down
specific proposals--although what
ever figure she submits is almost
certain to be pared down.
TALK HAS DIED DOWN IN
CONGRESS-for the time being
on proposals to give World War ii
veterans a bonus.
Rep. John Z. Rankin tD) Of
Mississippi. chairman OF the House
Veterans Committee, insists, how
ever. that the issue Is not dead,
and that when the opportune mo-
ment arrives he will press for IL.
Ranking is favoring an amend
ment TO the CT Bill OF Rights which
would give every veteran an out
right grant Of $50 per week for 81
weeks. II would cost taxpayers
an estimated II billions.
THE WARTIME OBLITERA-
TON OF air navigation markings
on cities for security reasons now
in causing concern to the Civil
Aeronautics Authority and other or
CARNATIONS interested in mass pri-
vate flying.
Before the war many commun-
tiles painted huge signs on their
largest buildings to give amateur
eirmen a clue to their where
abouts. Now the CAA has set a
goal OF 100000 markings for post
war private flying but doesn't have
the funds to carry out the program
unless communities volunteer TO
shoulder the burden.
According TO best estimates, a
community may mark its location
for "a little as S25. The CAA also
hopes it can push through It's plan
for a uniform marking system.
SOME MANAGEMENT and labor
delegates to the national union
business conferences in the ma
TONS capital feel that the indus
trial peace sessions may become a
regular affair. perhaps the iorerun-
ner If yearly meetings.
Even II the outcome OF the first
one should prove a disappointment
20 the public. leades feel the SEES
sions have been worthwhile IN
bringing about better understand
ing
AFT. President William Green
and Fri Johnson. president Of the
United States Chamber OF Com.
merce. are said to be two leaders
who think regular labor-manage-
ment parleys would be helpful.
