 We need your goodwill and economic cooperation and you need ours no less" Morrison said.
 "The world needs our economlc cooperation. The best hope comes from the fact that both our coun- tries have realized that their .econ- omies cannot function apart from the rest of the world
 Tn Britain We have decided that it is in our country's best interest to organize certain basic industries under state ownership" he said. "The great majority of industry and trades will remain under pri- vate ownership"

affIes Reporter Couple Go to Washington, Demanding Nothing at All

HIS name Is John 0eser, he comes from Westside, Ia, and he Is the typical Midwest farmer. That's why he and Mrs. Oeser are in Wash ington. The trip was the prize they won from Yankton, S. D., radio station wNAX for running better farm than anybody else in North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska. Minnesota and Iowa.
 So there were the Oesers in the Statler Hotel, leaning on the cush. ions and being quietly flabbergasted at the way their hosts were spend- ing money Mrs. oeser, who has her zero locker full of meat and two cellars packed with 500 quarts of her own vegetables, was inclined to doubt whether any meal, nc matter how tasty, can be worth @.
 Her grsy-halred husband, who raises 200 hogs year and grows 100 bushels Of corn an acre on most of his l60 acres, said he was earning so much money that 1t worried him a hstle,
 Got Too Much Money
 He said he could understand the strikes and the threats of strikes by the city folks. If a pound of bacon from one of his hogs costs 42 cents in the city. that Is sign he got too much money for the hoo. Hes rather get less.
 What l mean is that If these people in the factories pay these high prices for food, they've got to earn big wages he said. That's the cause of these strikes.
 Now If I didn't get quite so much money for my corn and my oats and my pork, the prices in the cities wouldn't be so high and the people could get by on their old wages. Maybe save something. too"
 Oeser will call at the White House, but don't get the idea he's going to say all this to President Truman. If prices are high, that's the governments lookout, and goodness knows he's not complain ing pers onally.
 Prices Make People Unhappy
 Only he, Mrs. Oeser and their eight children don't need all this cash. It is nice to have, but they don't need it. Also 1t is kind of nuisance. He paid $l,200 in taxes last year-$80O to the Federal Gov ernment and $40o to the county on his land-and getting that figured out was a problem.
 My idea" he said, lis that If prices had been lower, the city people wouldn't have been so un- happy, and about the only differ ence to us would have been a lower tax bill We would have kept on eating, no matter what"
 Mrs. Oeser said, "yes indeed She said it would be real pleas ure to get back to Westside where fine, big meal costs nothing at all in cash.
 I'll be a long time before anything like this happens again in Wash ington

Paris Body SndtcherS
 Make Sales

Paris, Jan. (UP) Paris body flatchers have started new black market in unclaimed corpses, the newspaper Cite -Soir reported, but no one seems to know just how and where the cadavers are being sold
 Cite-Soir said the ghoulish racket was uncovered as result of recent complaints by French medical schools that they were not getting enough cadavers for their dissection ciNsses,
 Rointing out that in pre-war yeara there usually were more than 400 unclaimed corpSes available each year for anatomic research in Paris medical schools, the news paper said only 9 bodies reached the city's surgical laboratories in the first six months of l945.
 It hinted at the existence of an organized band of thieves of a very special type" who, for reasons not quite clear. were interested i'll sidetracking bodies which normally would be used for dissection by sur gical students.
 Cite-Soir said persons responsible for the burial or other disposition of unclaimed corpses in Paris were selling the cadavers to the body snatchers who, in turn, were using them for some mysterious black market racket.
 Acknowledging that charitable in- stitutions which oppose post-mor- tenn dissection might have provided funerals for many of the bodies, the newspaper said there still was a wide discrepancy between the num- bcr of persons dying whose bodies normally could be used for practice surgery and the number which ac- tually reached dissection tables.
 The newspaper urged an ofticia. investigation into what 1t called this black market in cadavers. and warned that the diminishing number of bodies available tC student laboratories constitutes grave threat to the future of French surgery.

Fancy Ge1Cga1cs Spoil Chic Look
By ALICIA HART NEA Staff Writer

Even during season when elabo- rate clothes are the last cry of fash ion, woman with reputation for chic to defend, will be sparing in her choice of detail and gewg=ws on clothes and fancy work on gloves, shoes, and bags.
 Under a load of fashionable gim- micks a woman is apt to hide her personal distinctions. Besides it's hard for the most superb set of good looks to compete with too many ex- tra added attractions in dress.
 Shoes more than aything else in costume should fuse into the gen. eral picture. They make independ- ent claims for attention when they are too extravagantly bedecked. Bags may be colorful, sparkling or outre in design only when there is quiet background to play them against.
 A hat may be more powerful than the costume-this falls f1ashieSt whimsies are designed for the quiet little black dress-but it should never be mightier than the face. A woman should be sure that her face can compete with flocks of feathers, tufts of bright ribbon, yards of veil- ing and chunks of glitter before she pins such an assemblage on her head.

CHOICE MORsEL It Says Here
By BOB HOPE

This should be big season for radio listeners. All of the winter shows are back on the air now and everyone is thinking hard try ing to come up with new ideas Every time during the past week that stopped by N. B. C., writ CTS and producers were running through the halls scratching their heads. They finally had to make them stop scratching their heads, though. No one could see where hey were going for the clouds of 1andruff.
 You know, fish is supposed to be brain food and one producer ate nothing but fish for three months irving to improve his brain. I don't know whether it helped him get any new ideas or not. Every time I ask him he just stares at me and flaps his gills.
 This year the programs are go- ing to be bigger and better than ever. Pot of Gold" is going back on the air but they're not calling it Pot of Gold" It's going to be known as the Tub of Uranium" And from now on Ma" Perkins will be. referred to as Mater" Even the Inner Sanctum" is planning Improvements. This year they're using a squeaking revolv- ing door. And from now on, John is going to have two other wives.

Last year new event, the na- tional open individual champion ship, was added to the program of the Winter National Tournament. This year the event is scheduled for Sunday, December 6, when the Winter Nationals will get under way at the Hollywood Beach Hotel Hollywood Fla. One hundred and twenty-four players entered the contest last year and it is expected that close to 200 will participate in it this year Last years winner was Theodore Samuels, of Easton, Pa, who is expected to defend his title in December.
 Today's hand came up in the in- dividual last year. At practically every table North bought the con- tract for four spades and made it, losing a heart, a diamond and a club.
 Samuels elected to take the sac rifice at five diamonds It is diff1- cult to take a sacrifice in the five zone, especially when vulnerable. However, it was very good one, as East had to lose only a spade, heart and club, going down 200. Only one club trick was lost by stripping the hand and playing the ace of clubs followed by a small club. If North won he would drop South's queen. If South won, he would be forced to give declarer stuff and a ruff.
 
 Sacrifice bidding plays a most important role in tournament bridge and is perhaps the most difficult technique of the game to learn
