Most of the beggars were pleased to pay him
Difference but one young fellow among them chose
to be annoyed.
What gives you the right" he asked, ito be so
positive in your views, and to give such arrogant
advice? After ALL it was by sheer luck that you
acquired your fortune"
Morlino beloved with rage. Luck, luck, stupido!
l tell you it was science Did l not figure out the
winning combination?"
''BUr it was chance" the young fellow persisted.
Luck rules in lottery, as in marriage"
Morlino calrned down, and looked at him pity
ngly. 1T is easy to understand why you are still
beggar. Hear how did it, and you will speak no
more of luck. tell you it was brains"
What, for example, is fortunate number -
lucky above all others? What is an important num-
Der? say the number seven The seven days in the
week. The seven, one to six on the dice The seven
hills of Rome
We'll then, took seven - this lucky number -
and multiplied it by seven. Sepen times sece. is S.
And an extra seven to play safe. That makes 567.
which runs as you can see, in lucky order And that
was the winning number"
But" the young man protested, seven times
seven is not Sc, but 49,
Morlino turned on him wrathfully "Fool!' he
shouted. "Who won the Big Prize you or I?''
X
Es, nephew" the old man Colisanti said YEARLY
- for the year was 1899 - "you the clever one,
and seven times seven is 56. Had been smart
enough to understand that, I'd have shouted Duce,
Duce' - and perhaps would still have my mill
But what will you say if it develops later that
seven times seven has again become 49?"

thinning Mmh@r
by Lewis X. Hill

TUsEPPE CoLIsANT1 was, before the rise of Mus
" solini, wealthy man - owner of several vine
yards and a fine mill near Palermo. But he was
ruined when the Fascist came into power, having
made the mistake of expressing lack of enthusi-
asm for the new order His vineyards were taxed out
of existence, and shrewd lawyer, on the right
side politically, cheated him out of his mill
Colisanti bore with his misfortunes patiently.
Il am too old to need anything" he used to say
What hurt him more than the loss of his mill was
the attitude of nephew, ne'er-do-well who had
joined the Fascist militia and become a person of
some importance locally
Uncle, the young rascal would sneer, you are
not as wise as people used to say, nor am as stupid
as you used to claim. You should have known as I
did, that our glorious revolution would triumph.
Now you ruined man, and if it were not for me,
you might even be in jail"
Colsanti bore with this sort of talk as long as he
could. One had to be cautious under Fascist rule,
even of ones own fesh-andb blood Finally, however,
he could no longer contain himself
''DD ever tell you," he said, "of Morlino the
beggar, who won the Big Lottery in our village
many years ago."
Morlino said Colisanti, was not even a good
beggar. But whenever he collected as much as few
soldi, instead of spending it on food or shelter he
invested it Immediately in lottery tickets, and was
promptly as poor as ever before - and hungrier.
The man might have starved to death eventually.
But fortune favored him above all gamblers, and
he won the Big Prize.
Overnight he became person of wealth and con-
sequence. He bought himself new suit of clothes
and house on the hill, and every day he came
down to the village to toss coins to his former

LIFELINE. Some weeks ago we
printed cartoon (see below that
brought in a spirited letter from a
Miss Helen Ann kelleher. Miss Kelle-
her said that for l3 years she has been
trying to find out who invented the
white line that is painted on high
ways. She has written to all kinds of
authorities but has never received a
satisfactory answer.
Miss KS letter moved us to do
some research in the matter (and it's
an important matter, too - the white
line has probably saved more lives
than any other traffic sign in use to-
day.. We learn that credit is generally
given to the late Edward N. Hines,
highway engineer of Wayne County,
Mich. Mr.. Hines painted the first
white line in 1911. However, the

white line was not a brand-new idea.
A road out of Mexico City, built at
least $50 years ago, shows distinct
white stone line, presumably designed
to cut down arguments between burro
drivers. And the U. S. Public Roads
Administration tells us that traces
of the white line have been found on
the roads of ancient Rome.
OK, Miss Kelleher?
WORM. Missouri husbands now
know exactly how they rank in their
households. A local judge recently
fined a lady the sum of $lOO for strik-
ing the family dog with a baseball
bat - and $25 for doing exactly the
same thing to her husband.

Here in January

Veterans constituted nearly 80 per
cent Of all male applicants who
found jobs through the District
United States Employment Service
Office during January, Oscar G.
Jones, head of the Veterans EN-
ployment Service, said today.
MIR. Jones announced, however,
that more than 5000 veterans in the
Washington area still are on USES
rolls awaiting jobs. OF these only
1858 are disabled, he said.
During January the number OF
veterans placed in jobs was 1851,
Mr.. Jones said. In all jobs were
found for 3,441 applicants, of whom
1,019 were women.
Mr.. Jones said that in order to cut
down the number of unemployed
veterans in the District more firms
will have to be willing to begin on
the-job training programs.
The District Unemployment Com
pensation Board reported that while
total claims for readjustment allow
ances by veterans increased during
January, new claims decreased after
January II.
For the week ending January 4, II
was reported, 361 Washington area

Gromyko Argues for Atom Veto
In Letter to New York Girl, 79
Presents New Points
For Soviet Proposal
On World Controls
BY The Assoeiassd Press

NEW YORK, Feb. 13.-New argu-
ments for Soviet Russia's plan fol
international atomic controls were
advanced today in a letter from
Andrei A. Gromyko, Soviet Deputy
Foreign Minister, to q 19-year-old
Jackson Heights secretary.
Mr.. Gromyko's views were In an
swer to q letter written to him by
Miss Dorothea M. Spilich, who is
secretary to a group Of college stu
dents and graduates known as the
Committee for World Progress.
The questions answer ex-
change was the first that Mr.. Gro
myko has made public since he be-
came Russia's delegate to the
United Nations Security Council
and the United Nations Atomic
Energy Commission. It was released
to the press in the same manner In
which Prime, Minister Stain OF
Russia often makes known answers
to written questions.
Mr.. Gronyo told Miss Spilich that
the preservation OF the veto power
in the Security Council, on which
Russia has been adamant, "in no
way weakens the obligations" which
would be imposed by q convention
prohibiting atomic weapons and
controlling atomic energy.
This was viewed in United Nations
circles as Mr.. Grotnyko's answer to
the United States contention that
there must be no veto on punish
ments for atomic crimes. The veto
is the authority in the Security
Council by which one Of the five
great powers may kill a substantive
matter by a negative vote.
In another answer, Mr.. Gromyko
declared that there are no grounds
for postponing the conclusion Of an
international convention on the pro-
hibition Of atomic weapons which,
he said, would considerably facili-
tate and expedite" the inplementa-
ton OF an agreement on . broad
system Of controls.

Illinois Court Rules
Term Communist
|LibeIous in Itself +
BY th. As.eeieied Press

CHICAGO, Feb. 13.-The United
States Circuit Court of Appeals has
ruled that in Illinois "it is libelous
per Sc (of ITSELF to write Of q man
or corporation that they are Com
munists or Communist sympa-
thizers."
This, the court stated yesterday,
is because the label of Communist
today in the minds Of many average
and respectable persons places the
accused beyond the pale Of respec-
liability and makes him symbol
of public hatred, contrary to the
statute"
Under the ruling that the term is
libelous per Sc, parties bringing suit
would not be required to show proof
that damages were suffered.
Third Judge Dissents in Part.
The majority ruling was by Judge
Evan E. Evans, with whom Judge
Otto Kerner concurred. Judge
Walter G. Lindley dissented in part.
He agreed with his colleagues that
the term Communist" is action
able in Illinois, but that a reading
of the publication In the suit be-
fore the court did not convince him
that the term had been applied
definitely to the parties sseeking
damages.
In its ruling, the Court Of Appeals
reversed District Court ruling and
ordered to trial $4,000. 600 libel suit
against Westbrook Pegler, columnist:
King Features Syndicate. and the
Illinois Publishing 81 Printing Co.,
publisher OF the Chicago Herald
American.
The suit was brought by A. N.
Spaniel and the International Latex
Corp, of which Mr.. Spaniel Is presi-
dent. It alleged the company and its
president were libeled in an article
by Mr.. Pegler printed March Is, 1945.
Dispute Over Meaning.
District Judge Elwyn r. Shaw dis
missed the suit at the defense re-
quest on the ground that no cause
for action, had been established by
Mr.. Spaniel and his concern. De-
tense counsel contended the word
Communist" had no definite mean
ing. The, appeals court, however,
declared:
'But there can be no denial that
It's appearance as a characterization
in a newspaper political editorial is
sufficient to destroy a persons pre-
sumably good reputation with the
public. yn..
"And 1t seems anomalous for de-
PENDANTS to make such contention
(that the term Is without definite
meaning) because newspaper pub
fishers generally, as molders of pub
Lie opinion, have created the ogre
which defendants here seek to char
acterize as innoxious."
