CALLS LADY A "GAS-BAG"

Every once in while some member of
Congress breaks out in an ill-mannered ex-
position of bad temper, saying or doing
something that does not reflect credit up
on a good legislative body.
That American congressman have no
monopoly in this respect is apparent from
the London report, revealing the reply of
Aneurin Bevan, Welsh coal miner and La
borite member of Parliament, to Viscount-
ess Ast6r.
When the lady asked provocative
question, the miner retorted: ut really is
intolerable when this old gas-bag gets up

Trons-PociFic Post FIdshes Newsbeot
 Around the World

San Francisco, Aug. 1O-(UP)-- : First news that Japan had offered to surrender was flashed to the world today by the United Press from its trans-Pacific listening post in California,s Moraga valley
 The great news beat was relayed around the world from three to seven minutes ahead of other news services or the monitoring service of the Federal Communications Corn- mission.
 This is how the news came in:
 At 4:27 a. m. (PWr) or 8:27 D. m. Tokyo time, the Morse dot-dash of Domei News agency's regular { Q. m. broadcast started a new item.
 Details
 William Wells, Morse telegrapher was copying letter for letter as the Domei transmission progressed.
 But he was not copying on a type- writer. He was punching out the letters on the keyboard of 8 tele- type machine at the Moraga listen- ing post. Each time he struck a key the letter was recorded at the other end of the teletype circuit in the United Press news room in the Daily News building in San Fran cisco. This instantaneous relay of the Domei signal had become stand ard practice at Moraga during the climactic phases of the Pacific war
 The new Domei item began in- auspiciously.
 'Tokyo-The Japanese govern ment today addressed the following communication to the Swiss aad Swedish governments .. :"
 It sounded like just another rou- tine propaganda broadcast protest ing against American use of the atomic bomb.
 JAP TERMS REALIZED
 As the story continued from Tok- yo's station Juo " Japan Union Ocean-at the slow speed of only 9 words a minute, United Press overnight editor Hennen Hackett watched the teletype in the San Francisco bureau.
 Tokyo was more than half way through the more than 220-word dis patch, which took almost nine min- utes to transmit, before the words began to come indicating that the Japs were making an offer to give up.
 The key ntence came laboriously over the wire
 "The Japanese government are ready to accept the terms of the joint declaration which was issued at Potsdam. ."
 Hackett immediately let go a shout that could be heard half way down Market street.
 "Fqash!", he yelled. Every teletype operator in the room came to atten- tion. The wires connecting San Francisco to other bureaus and newspaper offices across the coun- try stopped momentarily and then began transmitting the words as Hackett cried them out "Japs ac- cept Potsdam declarationl'

Documents Filed hl $500, 900 Suit Here City Records of 1887 to Figure in
 $500, 900 Action Against Former City Controller LeoFy

States Attorney Hugh M. Alcorn in Hartford.
 Several weeks after the filing of those papers, authorization was give en for return to the city of the im- pounded records of the Hayes-Leary administration. Counsel for the plaintiffs have worked for many weeks on the records which are now kept in the basement of City Hall.
 The papers filed today include 725 sheets of appropriation ledgers cov- ering 1897, 32 loose warrants pay- able sheets, and the available checks and vouchers for 1897.
 FamiIiaI Names
 The list of checks contains numer- ous entries of the names of George H Kinksley & O., Abrigador Dig ger, and Frank J. Santa Lucia. Names of numerous other city off cials, concerns, and individuals ap- pear in the listing of the several hundred checks.
 The court order for a specific statement was issued July IA, 1888, and was followed by efforts on the part of the plaintiffs to secure a modification so that detailed records would not have to be furnished. On March 30, 1944, the court confirm ed the original order, and the plain- tiffs then set out to obtain the re- quired material.
 The litigation was undertaken in an effort to regain funds illegally disburSed during the Leary admin istration. Leary, who was sentenced to serve 10 to 15 years in the city conspiracy case remains a fugitive from justice.
