Many Government Workers Played The Market

WASHINGTON, (P)-Rep. Mac Kinnon R.-MinnD said Wednes- day the agriculture department knows of Fl local, state and fed eral employees who were trading on the grain markets in Septem- Der. MacKinnon called on Secre- tary Anderson in a telegram to disclose the names of the Fl.
 His action coincided with a re- quest by the Senate appropriations committee that five government departments hurry up with reports on whether any of their officials have been gambling on commodity markets.
 The committee is checking on allegations that government in- siders" made use of official infor- nation to profit in commodity trading.
 MacKinnon said in a statement that J. M. Mehl, administrator of the commodity exchange author ity, told the joint Congressional committee on the economic report on Nov. "A that as of Sept. r the Fl public employees were Hong" on 384,000 bushels and "short" 131 ,00O bushels in the wheat fu- lures market.

Hoover Deplores Increase In Juven- ile Delinquency

J. Edgar Hoover, director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, recently made the following re- marks in a nationwide broadcast:
 My message tonight is directed to the mothers and fathers of America-to all adult, citizens re- sponsible for the welfare of our youth.
 During the war years, when age seventeen was leading all other age groups in frequency of arrests, the volume of juvenile de- linquency in the United States reached an all-time high. It was disheartening to see thousands of our youngsters caught in the back wash of war; but I had hopes then that the condition was temporary and that after the war the factors that contributed to delinquency would be removed and corrected.
 "That, apparently, was wishful thinking. There was an encourag- ing decline in youthful delinquen- cy immediately after the war, but arrests of youngsters are again on the increase. During the first nine months of 1947, arrests of boys 18 to 20 years of age increased nearly 27 per cent over the same period in 1946. Moreover, some of the wartime teen-age offenders have grown up, and many are now com mitting more serious crimes.
 With a major crime occurring every 18 seconds, it is time to pause and examine the problem. I have noted that there is something lacking in the home life of most youngsters who violate the law. Even the delinquents who are from apparently normal homes are vic tims of parental neglect. The par ents are either too careless or too

U. N. Workers Xmas-Feted In American Homes
(By Toni Adams)

BINGHAMPTON, N. Y., R)- Well-fed, jolly groups of United Nations employees from 35 coun- tries set forth today to view the inner workings of three industrial communities that gave them an American Christmas with all the trimmings.
 Stored away for recollection in odd moments at bustling Lake Success were memories of warm hearths, clean snow, bountiful tables, mistletoe and gay present opening sessions under tinseled Christmas trees.
 The 175 clerks, typists, inter- preters and other workers of the peace organization have been en- tertained since Christmas Eve at approximately 100 homes in Bing- hampton, Endicott and Johnson City as a good will gesture from this south central New York area.
 One of the heart-wa m i n g touches of this adventure in inter nationaliSm was the informal use of first names.
 Maybe we'd get further in this peace project if we stopped mis- pronouncing last names and call ing each other Mister" comment ed one host.

Stassen States Officials Cambled In Commodities

WASHINGTON, (P)-Harold E. Stassen yesterday challenged the administration to say whether any present and former officials in the executive department of the White House" traded in commodi- ties prior to big government pur- chases in early 1947.
 Stassen also asked in a state ment whether White House and other past and present government officials made a huge profit at the steep climb of prices which followed the governmental buy ing"
 Reporters who asked Presiden- tial secretary Charles G., Ross about Stassen's statement got the reply, "No comment"
 Stassen first charged two weeks ago that insiders" in the govern ment had profitted from commod- ity trading. His assertions then led to disclosure that Edwin A. Pau ley, special assistant to secretary of the army Royall, had been a big market sAeculator.
 Pauley told a Senate committee he went into the market before taking the government post. He said he began getting out after taking it and has never had inside information on government com modity purchasing plans.
 Since then, Congress has voted for publication of names of all big traders in commodities and two committees are Investigating spec

Freak RR. Accident In Florida

MIAMI, Fla. (P) - A Florida East Coast passenger train en- route from Miami to Jacksonville ripped into freight train here early today, injuring five mem members of the crew. Fourteen railroad cars were either demol- ished or badly damaged.
 J. R. Ashworth, of Miami, en- gineer on the passengers train, es- capped death as his locomotive plowed through one freight car and on into another. He was in- jured and taken to hospital.
 No one was able to recount how the accident occurred, but most railmen believed a part of the front section of the freight train heading south jumped the rail as the passenger train, going north, was passing. The freight train To- comotive continued south on the FEC tracks, carrying a few cars with it for almost a mile.

Many Dead In Typhoon-Ravaged Philippines

MANILA, (P) - A savage ty- phoon swept the Philippines to- day, leaving at least 56 persons dead or unaccounted for - 46 of them from the Danish motorship Kina, which sank off Samar.
 Five other ships were damaged, 70 per cent of the historic city Of Tacloban was reported wiped out by storm-Whipped fire, and DOT tions of Manila were hard hit.
 The latest official death toll in Manila and nearby Quezon City was five, and the Red Cross re- ported five persons missing in La guna province

Right Town, But Wrong State

ALBUQUERQUE, N. M. (P)-It was the right town but the wrong state.
 Yvette Daigle, Is, of Quebec, Montreal, Canada, was en route to join her brother, Louis Daigle, in Las Vegas, New, but someone forgot to designate which Las Ve- gas on her plane ticket.
 The attractive French-Canadian girl speaks only French. When she showed her ticket at the Denver, Colo, air terminal, she was ush- cred aboard an airliner bound for Las Vegas, N. M.
 An alert hostess discovered the error and brought her to Albu- querque for an overnight stay. She boarded another plane for the right Las Vegas yesterday.

Bright Prospects For U. $. In l948

WASHINGTON, (P)-The next l2 months should bring record breaking U. S. production and per haps an ebb in the tide of rising prices, the governments top econ- omist reported today.
 Given a fair crop year, there's distinct possibility that 1948 will see an abatement of inflation," |" said Dr. Edwin G. Nourse, chair man of the Presidents council of economic advisers.
 The three major influences on the economic pulse during the next year, Dr. Nourse told a reporter, probably can be listed in this or der:
 l. The weather. If wheat, corn and other crops escape the drought which hurt last falls har- vest, food costs could lead the way to more stable prices.
 2. Labor relations. A third round" of sizable wage increases, or a new wave of strikes curta:l- ing production, could heighten jn- flationary pressures.
 3. Foreign Aid. Depending on how much help is voted for Euro pean recovery, exports could make some existing shortages more crit ical.
 Congress thus far has autho~- ized only voluntary agreements by business, agriculture and industry to divide scarce goods. This is a provision of the Republican anti imitation bill which MT. Truman is expected to sign shortly.
 As for the No. factor, weather, the agriculture department had good news last week. Its winter wheat forecast indicated another bumper" wheat crop-more than a billion buShels-may be harvest ed. And as for goods and services, the nations production rose in 1947, Dr. Nourse pointed out, and can be expected to rise further. He gave no figures, since these will be included in MT. Truman's econo- mic message to Congress next month. <.

SAUGUS, Mass, (P) - A 35- year-old father of five children bundled his youngest into blan- ket, and hurred down a ladder early today when fire swept their home-reaching the ground to find the blanket empty.
 Bremen restrained the horror stricken father, Richard Grove, from returning to the flame-filled house and later found the charred body of Arthur Grove, two years old, on the floor of his bedroom.
 The child had slipped out of the blanket as the father slung him over his shoulder, pack fashion, the firemen said. The others es- capped.

WASHINGTON, (P)-President


 Truman will act early next week, probably Monday, on the anti-in- flation bill passed by the special session of Congress.
 Telling reporters this today, press secretary Charles C.. Ross said MT. Truman will issue "an adequate statement" of his views on the legislation.
 It has been indicated the Presi- dent will sign the bill, although he has criticized it as inadequate. The heart of the measure is a provision for the government to promote voluntary industry agreements to hold down prices. MT Truman asked Congress to give him power to put on price and rationing con- trols.

After few mornings Herman said to Mary
Belle that it was silly for her to wait on him
instead of just fixing breakfast for both of
them and eating when he did You see.
Mary Belle. it'll be Just like anyone else
sitting at the same table with me in a restau-
rant, =" he told her.
So Mary Belle started eating breakfast
with him. and also dinner
They got along very we'll. Herman paid for
each meal he ate, just as he would in restau-
rant, and pretty soon he started leaving a tip
at his plate when he'd finished One night at
dinner Mary Belle told him she didn't think
he ought to leave tip. but Herman told her
he always tipped good waitress, and she
was good waitress
Judge for long time, and all that while
Mary Belle kept right on cooking and wait
ing on him. So, naturally. Herman kept
right on paying for each meal and leaving
a tip
Their friends just about forgot that they
were getting divorce. because after while
Herman started sitting in the living room
instead of going right to his bedroom. and
Mary Belle didn't say word about it. Even
when he accidentally tipped cigarette ashes
on the carpet. she didn't jump down his throat
as she used to, but would go get dust pan
and clean them up.
ONcE Herman asked her why she let him
drop ashes, and she told him hotels didn't
bawl out paying guests when they dropped
an ASH
Herman said. why didn't you think of
that when we were married? was a. paying
guest then, and still you used to bawl hell
out of me most of the time

of cook and waitress, and had her hair fixed
real pretty.
After while Herman began to notice how
pretty she looked in the mornings; one day
he said to her:
MARY Belle, tell me why didn't you dress
up like that and fix your hair and face
when we were living together?"
Evening star., 1947-03-09

She answered, Herman why didn't you
treat me as nice when was your wife as you
do now that I'm your cook and waitress?
You never did notice whether l was dressed
up or not. You always had your nose buried
IN your newspaper. never gave me a look
and l got to feeling that it didn't make any
difference what looked like
Evening star., 1947-03-09

Mary Belle said, You're lots more careful
about dropping ashes now. and there's no
reason to bawl you out when you just drop
them once in while
1t got so that when Mary Belle would give
bridge party in the evenings. she'd al~s-eys
invite Herman. He d even help mix the drinks
and pass the sandwiches around.
One day Mary Bellies best friend said to
her:
Mary Belle, when are you and Herman
going to get your divorce?"
MARY BELLE looked her straight in the eye:
Mabel, we aren't getting divorce. We de-
cided we could get along just fine if Herman
treated me like good cook and waitress. and
treated him like paying guest. instead of
just nuisance around the house. Now, every
morning at breakfast. he compliments me on
my cooking and on how nice look. and every
morning fix up my hair and dress up just
like was waitress. He leaves me tip a;.ir
eating. and at night don't bawl him out if
he drops cigarette ash on the floor
Everything is going so nicely that Her
mans ulcers are lots better, and now we're
going to take in another boarder Herman
is practicing pinning didies. 50. he can be
treated like good helper around the house
when the new boarder arrives We're even
fixing up Herman's old room for the new
guest"
That's what the housing shortage has done
for Herman and Marv Relle IF thene'd heen
enough room around. know durn we'll I'd
never be going to be an uncle after Herman
and Mary Belle had their big fight
And whatever name they give to the new
boarder, I'm going to call it Shorty" for
shortage. Get it? The End
