We thoroughly agreed with Mar
garet that automats were lot more
fun.
We met China's Pin-up Girl and
were we surprised! You can see for
yourself tfrom the picture) that the
basic requirements are the same,
but here's what surprised us-the
gals serious student of the arts,
speaks French and English fluently,
frowns oh SO sweetly on the west
ern habit of wearing nail polish
OH toenails and has no time for
women who are not domestically
inclined. Well, bless our honorable
ancestors.
The little lady who was christ
ened Ming Chu (meaning brilliant
pearD was born in China, raised in
Paris and danced in (hold your
breath) England, Italy, Germany,
Belgium, Vienna, Tripoli as we'll as
the Scandinavian countries. But its
here in the U. S. A. where she wants
to stay. And besides it was the
American doughboys who gave her
the title of Chinese Pin-up Girl"
Il was chosen Miss China in an
international beauty contest held in
1887 in Paris" Ming said sweetly.
No" she answered, I'VE didn't
wear bathing suits, We wore our
native costumes"
If you have time to get up to the
Trade Winds this week and see
Ming in some of these native cos
TUNES you'll see what the judges

When Maestro Spitainy came to
town for concert last week there
was a grand old reunion at the Del
Rio. Maxine, who left the happy
group to strike out for herself in
the vocal field. did the girls proud
when they stopped in to catch her
show at the Washington club.
AS we expected, the talk was shop.
In fact it was necessary to get help
from Maxine every so often to keep
up with what was going on.
Date Check Up" we asked,
sounds like boarding school"
Believe me it was almost as
bad." the singer explained, but it
worked"
1t seems when the girls went on
the road if one of them had a date
she had to tell a committee COM
posed of several of the other girls
not only with whom she was going
out but where she was going and
what time she would be back.
I'VE didn't mind" Maxine said,
"but sometimes the fellows did"
The Barbary Coast Boys are two

Bob was in the Navy during the
First World War and a member of
the original cast of Biff Bang Bing;
Milt was in the Army and member
of Irving Berlin's show And there

Agreement on Cuts
In Appropriation Bill
Expected Tomorrow
Ey the Associated Press.

Ry the Associated Press.
A group of Senators who have
been working on multi billion dol
lar cuts in Government expendi-
lures, made possible by peace, ap-
preached the end of their labors
today.
They are members of Senate
Appropriations Subcommittee which
has been trying to decide whether
the House went too far, or perhaps
not far enough in some instances,
/ in deciding that 1900 ,000, 600 re-
duction would be just right.
Senator Overton, Democrat, of
Louisiana said he expected the sub
committee eventually would restore
some of the cuts made by the House.
But he thought the group might
agree by tomorrow night.
The appropriations cutback which
the House approved was from $146,-
600, ,000, 900 to $4,000, ,0O0, 900. Nearly
all the money was for the Army
and Navy.
Deep Cuts Protested.
The administration has protested
that perhaps the House didn't keep
enough cash on hand to pay for all
the things that may still be needed.
However, three members of the Sem
ate Military Affairs Committee
Acting Chairman johnson, and
Senators Gurney, Republican, of
South Dakota, and Maybank, DEM
ocrat, of South Carolina-showed no
alarm over the cash situation.
Senator johnson commented that
"if demobilization is speeded up
as it should be we won't have so
big military payroll"
Senator Gurney said, There's no
danger soldiers left in the Army
won't eat" and added that if Con-
gress were to cut military funds too
drastically the situation could be
corrected in time to prevent serious
| trouble.
Senator Maybank took a similar
stand but added:
I'VE still need money for the
Army and Navy. We have a lot
of installations everywhere-we've
got some interests in this world
now-and they run into billions of
dollars. And we will have to pro-
tect them"
USES Return Provided.
Attacked to the cut-back bill is
a House-approved rider providing
for a return of United States En-
ployment Service functions to the
States within 30 days after enact
ment.
President Truman originally asked
that these functions be left where
they are until June, 1947. However,
Secretary of Labor Schwellenbach
suggested to the Senate subcommit-
tee that an absolute deadline" for
their return be fixed at next
June 80.
Senator Reed, Republican, Of
Kansas, who advocates returning
the job to the States, told a re-
porter that he is trying to work out
a compromise based on Mr.. Schwel-
lenbach's proposal

Ohio State
VS.. Michigan

ANN ARBOR, Mich, Nov. %
One of the most hotly-con-
tested rivalries in the Western
Conference will be renewed here
Saturday when Michigan and
Ohio State clash here before a
capacity crowd of more than
$4,000 spectators. The game will
be the, forty-second of a series
that began in 1897.
Michigan, loser last year by
an 1914 margin in a game that
decided the Big Ten title, holds
the series edge with 26 games
won to IL lost. Three ties have
resulted from the long series and
they occurred in 1900, in 1910
and in 1941.
The game, sensational as 1t
was, proved to be typical of the
series and Saturdays contest
probably will be a repeater.
