of Truman Had
 Bad Night
Mind Is Clear os Indicated on Arrival of Margaret
 at Bedside
By ERNEST B. vACCARO

GRANDEIEW, Mo, May 20.-tR- President Truman's gravely i'll mo- ther rallied slightly early today af- ter bad night.
 The President told reporters as he left his hotel in nearby Kansas City, for a before- breakfast walk, that Mrs. Martha E. Truman, 94, "is all right now but she had a kind of bad night"
 He has abandoned all hope for an immediate return to Washing ton.
 He looked solemn and worried as he gave his brief report to news men without elaborating as to his mothers bad night.
 Returning from the walk, MT. Truman drove to Grandview to spend another day with his mother.
 The elderly Mrs. Truman, whose occasional rallies have been offset by unfayorable changes during most of the week was growing percep- tibly weaker
 Margaret Arrives
 The arrival of Margaret Truman, the Presidents 24-year daugh- ter, so encouraged the elderly grandmother that Presidential Press Secretary Charles G. Ross was able to tell reporters that Mrs. Truman was somewhat better" last night.
 The President himself, looking tired and drawn, retired early in his Kansas City Hotel Muehlebach apartment, telling reporters he wanted good nights sleep in or der to be able to spend all of tomor- row with his mother.
 Margaret, cancelling singing con- cert engagements at Pittsburgh to- night and at Cleveland Thursday, drove immediately to her grand mothers bedside upon her arrival here by plane yesterday afternoon.
 Her father was overjoyed when the elderly Mrs. Truman, growing steadily weaker from the after maths of nip fracture suffered in

The W ashingto Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON

WASHINGTON-In all the sar- castle cross examination of the State Departments art program, it is interesting that no Congressman ever bothered, to inquire about the effectiveness lof these art exhibits in building friendship abroad
 Actually, had any Congressman inquired, he would have found that in Prague, Czechoslovakia Foreign Minister Jan Masaryk personally opened the exhibit with a speech praising American art, while Pres ident Benes spent several hours studying the pictures. Apparently they appreciated the State Depart ment's selection, including the fat circus lady, even if the Republican Congressmen from the wide-open spaces of Norfolk, Nebraska or the famous pris on-city of Auburn, N. Y., didn't.
 In the Western Hemisphere, the art show was equally well received. In Haiti the public streamed to see it. One Cuban art critic said the show demonstrated that the United States was at:le to contribute to the cultural riches Of man as well as to his material riches.
 Even before Congress cut his ap- propriation, Assistant Secretary of State Bill Benton, worried over the scowls of Auburn, New York's Con- gressman Taber, sacrificed LeRoy Davidson, one of the nations out standing art collectors, who was in charge of the State Departments art project Now both Congress and the State Department are being bombarded with protests from lead ing museums, artists and laymen all over the country, many of whom charge that the attack on modern ert is identical with similar moves by totalitarian regimes in Italy and Germany before the war.

NAVY BILL DEBATED
 IN HOUSE
Representative Thomd as Takes Exception 10 Pro-
 posed 10 Percent Cut

WASHINGTON, May 20.IR- Rep. Albert Thomas (D-TeD said today the Navy and Marine Corps will have to discharge 82,000 men if Congress accepts the 10 percent cut the House Appropriations com- mittee recommended in funds that President Truman asked for the Navy
 Tn a prepared speech as the House started debate on the Navy appropriation bill, Thomas said ri@ Navy gave him that information.
 Proposed cuts in pay and sub sistence items, he contended, Will cause a reduction of 10000 in the average enlisted strength of the Navy during the coming year, and ,2,000 in the Marine Corps.
 The effect will be a force "en- tirely insufficient to carry out the Navy operating force plan," Thom- as said, adding:
 During these troubled times l doubt the wisdom of these substan- tial cuts. Maybe twelve months hence, after world conditions are clarified, these cuts can be sub stantiated by even going deeper But, at this particular time, do not approve of the chances we are taking"
 On the other side, Rep. Taber (R-NY), chairman of the appro- priations committee, called for CO., ordinating of activities of the Army. the Navy, the Air Corps, the Marine Corps and the Maritime Commission.
 No one of tnes( organizations dovetails into the picture or pro gram of the other" Taber said in a statement ''The interests Of national defense absolutely de- mand that this coordination take place"
 If it does not take place, he de- clared, the appropriations commit tee will proceed with the opera tion of coordination.

WASHINGTON, May 20-tR- The Allied Nations said today they may take Japanese separations from the Empires current indus trial production as well as from it's capital assets.
 In policy decision by the Far Eastern Commission, Allied gov erning body for Japan, the Pacific victors said "reparations shall be exacted through transfer of Japa- nese capital. equipment or goods as may in future be pro- duced."
 The decision, approved May B. but made public only today, con- stitutes a departure from the pol icy of the Western allied nations regarding reparations from Ger many.

COTTON
NEW YORK r

NEW YORK, Jan. 10 = () -
Cotton futures dropped Friday in
the sharpest break in more than
two months on a heavy wave OF
liquidation and trade selling, the
decline was accentuated by stop
loss selling and final prices were
at the lows for the day. The mar
ket finished $4.75 to $685. a bale
lower than the previous close.
Liquidation was influenced by
easiness in securities and by buy
ers' resistance to some types of
textiles. Increased sales at pri-
mary spot markets were reflected
in heavier hedging pressure from
merchants.
Another factor in the markets
weakness was the trades disap-
pointment over the Presidents
message, which stressed continued
high taxes.
Mill buying of spot cotton was
light during the past week, ac-
cording to private advices, but ship.
pers bought aggressively.
