ButM Chinatown Is Preferuble

HONG KONG WD-On his f i r S t
visit to China in more than 20
years, the mayor of New York.
Chinatown still prefers the neigh
borhood Of Mot and Pell streets
where he Vas born and raised.
Shavey Lee thinks an occasional
trip to the old country would do
every Chinese American a world
of good. His primary reaction,
however. is cts a nice place to
visit, but | wouldn't care to live
here"
From his loud ties to his two
tone shoes, Shavey is as Aneri-
can as baseball and bot dogs. He
has a New York accent, his slang
is American and his outlook is
peculiar to the millions who have
lived in the worlds greatest me
tropolis and rarely can be happy
anywhere else.
Shavey was never elected to be
mayor of New York's Chinatown,
and can't ever explain how he
came to be known as such. But
most New Workers have heard of
Shavey Lee and he knows a good
cross section of them, from Mayor
O'DWyer down.
Officially, Shavey is an insur-
ance man. He handles the Chinese
agency in New York for the Uni
ted States Life Insurance Co. He
also owns a restaurant called
Shavey lees.
Unofficjaliy he is the spokesman
and protagonist of New York's
more than 3OO. 900 Chinese, of who
he is justly proud as having the
lowest crime rate Of any nation
atty group in the city.
Shavey is not the only famous
member of his family, who origin

than half a century ago. His sis

Complete Fossils
Of TmyDinosours
Found in West
by the Associated Press

NEW YORK. July 14.-The find
ing of complete skeletons of dog
sized dinosaurs in Northern New
Mexico is reported in a message re-
ceived by the American Museum OF
Natural History from its curator of
geology and paleontology, DR..
George Gaylord Simpson.
Wayne M. Faunce, vice director
of the museum, said last night that
DR.. Simpson, leading a fossil ex-
pedition in the Southwest, reported
the find after visiting the diggings
of another party led by DR.. Edwin
H. Colbert, curator of fossil reptiles.
DR.. Simpson described the find,
near Lindrith, N. Mex, in the San
Juan River basin, as probably the
most important discovery yet made
of the continents early animal life.
Existence of the dinosaurs previ-
ously was known only from bone
fragments.
Inhabitants of the Triassic period,
2DO000,000 years ago, the dinosaurs
probably were only or feet in
length, compared with the 40-ton
Tyrannosaurus Rex that lived 100,-
O00, 900 years later, in the Cretaceous
period, Mr.. Faunce said. First re-
sorts, he said, indicated they were
meat-eaters, running on long hind
legs and grasping their prey with
short forelegs.

Price Rise Delay
In Coal Steel
Coils for Fair Test
Of New Pact Before
Fixing increases
By the Associated Press

President Truman appealed to
coal and steel producers today
to wait until "a fair test" has
been made of the effects of the
coal wage settlement before
making any price increases.
The President, in a statement,
said the effect of the wage settle
ment lis badly misrepresented by
the bare statement that it amounts
to an increase of about As cents
per hour in the wages of miners"
1T is only reasonable to ask coal
and steel producers to wait until
a fair test has been made of the
actual effects of the wage advance
under conditions of maximum pro-
duction," the President asserted.
IF prices are raised at once, and
wave of increases in related prices
upsets our economy, we never will
know what would have happened If
the coal and steel managers had
been willing to wait.
Little Risk in Delay.
"The risk involved by continuing
present prices of coal and steel long
enough to learn what the increased
costs of production will actually be
under the new wage agreement Is
not serious. especially in view Of
the fact that such action will greatly
reduce the hazards of renewed in
lation."

Two Ex-GIs Arraigned

Officials Believe

Two former Army sergeants
accused of taking secret papers
and films from the Los Alamos
atomic bomb project were given
preliminary hearings in Chicago
and Pittsburgh today and bond
was set for each at $4,000.
One of the two, Alexander Won
der Luft, %, of Mount Lebanon, Pa,
obtained bond Immediately and was
released by United States Conmis-
sioner Roger Knox, who said date
for a further hearing would be set
after arrival of a certified copy of
the record from Los Alamos. Von
der Luft left the Pittsburgh court
room without making a statement.
At Chicago, Earnest D. Wallis, "a,
an official photographer at the bomb
project, was given a hearing and
pleaded innocent.
Secrets Expected to Be Kept.
Meanwhile, Justice Department
officials here said today they were
confident it would be possible to
bring the two ex-GI's to trial with
out disclosing any of the infoma-
ton contained in the files.
The Justice Department earlier in
the day had disclosed that the 200
pages of handwritten notes found
in Won der Luft's room at Prince
ton University and the film mega
tives found in Wallis Photographic
studio in Chicago had been returned
several weeks before the two were
arrested last Saturday.
Meanwhile, Chairman Hicken-
looper of the Joint Congressional
Atomic Energy Committee said his
committee wants to know why, the
two ex-GIs apparently did not have
their baggage searched when they
left the project.
Senator Hickenlooper said he be-

SALT LAKE CITY, July IA
The 39th Governors Conference

Gov. Herbert of Ohio, addressing
the opening session, demanded that
the Federal Government yield some

ization of taxing power in the Fed
eral Government with ever-increas-
ing subsidies to the State and local
governments" -.
Mindful OF Gen. Marshall's forth
coming talk, Gov. Herbert said he
thinks the United States must re-
main economically and militarily
strong if it extends proposed aid to
Europe. Gen. Marshall may outline
some details of this program and
the Governors indicated they will
listen with varied sentiment.
On labor-management relations,
Gov. Herbert said State governments
could do well if they copied provis-
ions of the Taft-Hartley Labor Act.
Dewey Outlines Stand on Taxes.
Before attending the conference
round table on taxation, Gov
Dewey, at a meeting with the press
which he described as a social
reunion" rather than press con-
ference, expressed a firm opinion
that the States should withdraw
from the field of income taxes and
leave it to the Federal Government.
