. BEHIND THE SCENES

The comparison on State De-
partment employees at home
only begins to tell the story. In
1899 the Foreign vice the
overseas branch of the Depart
ment-had 300 employ es. For
next year it wants 1900. In 1889
the State Department budget
was ID million dollars. For next
year il is asking for II million

consumes as much money in one

run the entire State Department

tive of the State Department in
the coming year being the estab-

peace organization which will

The completely of the job in

SURGEON IN LAST WAR DEVELOPS NEW TOuRNIQlUET
By RUSSELL Q. MOCK

By RUSSELL 0. MOCK
 Limited Press Staff Correspondent)
 Akron, O., July 2.-(UP) pr. Harold R. Conn, who as a surgeon in the first World War saw gan- grene develop too frequently from the use of conventional tourniquets, has developed a new pneumatic type tourniquet which almost to- tally eliminates the danger.
 Designated as the "Conn-Type Pneumatic Tourniquet," its soft cushioning action with air pressure halts the flow of blood in amputa- tions. bone-grafts and other cases involving extremities just as surely as the old type tourniquet, but without the danger of breaking blood vessel walls or paralyzing irn- portant nerves.
 Dr. Conn is the medical director of the Goodyear Tire and Rubber O., and nationally recognized authority on orthopedic surgery. The new tourniquet was developed under his direction in cooperation with Army and Navy surgeons and Goodyear Rubber technicians.
 Reinforced Ipatable Tube
 The n-Type Pneumatic Tourniquet" consists of an inf1at- able rubberized fabric tube several aEehes wide which is reinforced on the outside by longer rubberized fabric belt. By means of a buckle, the outside belt can be adjusted to provide any desired tightness of the defiated tube. The rigid outer band of the tourniquet, together with the special design of the inflatable tube, prevent it from rolling" out of position.
 Air is pumped into the tube by . hand bulb at the end of four foot length of light rubber hose. A gauge indicates the proper pres- sures to be used for arm or for legs.
 Constriction of the blood vessels Is obtained by the cushiony action which the inf1atable tube exerts over a comparatively wide surface Kinking or excessive pressures on blood vessels or nerves by the old style fabric tourriquet often in- duces gangrene and can cause paralysis.
 Medical authorities agree that correct pressure is impossible with manual teurniquets of the elastic wrap-around or twisted fabric types. Even unskilled operators, however, can supply correct pressures with the pneumatic tourniquet by read tng of the gauge dial.
 Valve Controls Pressure
 A valve on the tourniquet per- mits quick and easy reducing of the pressure whenever necessary to supply fresh blood to wounds and operations sites. This is important In operations lasting more than 30 bo 4O minutes, as the danger of gangsene rises in direct proportion to the length of time the blood sup ply is curtailed.
 The tourniquet is now being pro- duced at the Akron plants of the Goodyear Tire and Rubber Go. for the Army and Navy. They are in- nividually packed in metal cases with the touriquet itself. disas- yembled, mounted on moulded rub Der bases to prevent damage. As- sebly of the complete until re- uuireg only few seconds.
 Their use on small combat boats, which do not have medical facili- ties, and on long-range bombers is seen since the tourniquets may be self-applied or applied by other members of the crew.

 At Famous TrioI

Charles J. DeBisschop, prominent Republican leader in this state for many years, popularly known as the Mayor of East Mountain, died at the Waterbury Hospital this morn ing following long illness.
 The sixt-two-year-old East Moun- tain resident gained nationwide fame during the trial of Bruno Richard Hauptmann, accused and later convicted of Kidnapping the son of Charles A. Lindbergh. MT. De- Bisschop took the stand as a tree expert for the defense.
 He was born at Bayonne, New Jersey, on March l, 1883, the son of the late Andrew J. and Mary Ga- MalD DeBisschop. His father was 8 native of Antwerp, Belgium, while his mother was born in Alsace-Lor- raine. The family moved to Marion when Charles was an infant.

Hope Mounts For ropped Men in Mine
Explosion Seemed Centered Where 22 Are Still Bound

Pineville, Ky, Dec. 29 - CUP) - Rescue workers said early today that they expected to reach the re- maining men trapped in the Ken- lucky Straight Creek Coal Com pany's No. mine before many more hours"
 Joe Hatfield, 48, one of the nine men found in a barricaded side shaft yesterday, said the second party was only 300 feet away when an explosion cut them off at 8:33 a. m. Wednesday.
 Hope was high that the remain ing 9 men were alive.
 However, Hatfield said the explo- sion seemed centered where the others were working.
 Claw at Solid Wall
 The rescue crews were digging through an almost solid wall of fallen slate and timbers.
 Eight of the first party of nine were reported in good condition by hospital attendants today. All were suffering from exhaustion The ninth, Albert Bennett, GA, died in his rescuerS arms as tremor of excitement ran through his spare body as he was carried from the mine after 53 hours imprisonment in the dark, foul air of the. shaft.
 Bud Townes, 54-year-old Negro, was the hero of the first party, a survivor of the 1929 Kettle Island mine tragedy which killed six min- CTS, directed his men in throwing up a barricade of shale to seal the precious air in their side shaft and keep out poisonous gases.
 Find Note
 The first traces of the trapped men was their footprints on the dusty floor of the main shaft. Then the rescue crew came to the barri- cade. In front of it was note sign ed by Townes which said: ~ .,e-
 Mine miners in here. II 8. m. Thursday"
 There were other annotations that Townes had scrubbed previously as the men waited for help they knew was on the way.
 The rescuers tore feverishly at the barricade. Inside they found more footprints and arrows drawn by

Foct-finders Plan To Continue Survey In Auto Industry

Washington, Dec. 29 - (UP)-Hope rose in Govern ment circles today that the steel strike threatened for Jan. IA may be averted.
 Civilian Production Administrator John D. Small said yesterday that i've would be in mess all over the country If there would be a steel strike"
 The Department of Commerce was said to have completed a sur- vey showing that higher steel prices were necessary because of higher production costs.
 May Break Impasse
 An award of higher prices might break the current Anpasse between the U. s. Steel Corporation, indus try leader, and the United Steel workers (CIO) and set pattern for the entire industry. The company has refused to consider wage raises without price boost. The union set Jan. 14 for nationwide steel strike unless its g day wage in- crease demands on the industry are met.
 Elsewhere on the Washington labor front:
 1. President Truman was said to be considering while cruising the Potomac how strong to make his new appeal to Congress for statu- tory fact-finding boards following the General Motors Corporation. Walkout from panel inquiring in- to it's dispute with the CIO United Automobile Workers. Sources close to the President said his faith in his proposed fact-finding boards with power to subpoena company books was unshaken. They said he felt GM had invited public d1sfavor by quitting the present panel, which lacked subpoena powers, because it objected to the panels decision to consider profits.
 Panel to Continue Work
 Despite the company walkout the panel planned to continue looking into the facts in the 39-day-old General Motors strike today. Union Vice-President Walter Reuther was scheduled to conclude presentation of the unions case. He said yester- day the unions case was based on General Motors annual reports and Government figures.

Alcohols to Flov Freely Jan. {

New Year celebrants will be able to obtain plenty of alcoholic stimu- lants, but 1t may not be exactly their favorite beverage or brand.
 Devotees of Bacchus will enjoy blended ryes but scotches, bourbons and straight whiskies will be difi- cult to purchase, spokesmen for liquor concerns said yesterday. As retailers took inventories yes- terday, prior to the holiday rush, 1t appeared scotch will be the shortest of all because imports were reduced to half during 1889.
 Gins, Runs Plentiful
 Canadian whiskies are far short of demand but the overall supply is fair. Brandies, gins and runs are on the plentiful list, and the cordial supply is good. Table wines are available but dessert wines Jess plentiful.
 Liquor retailers explained that although plenty of blended whiskey
