zoo MOURNS JENNY, ITS LAZY PELICAN

NEW YORK, (P)-After an un- distinguished and blameless life, "Old Jenny" a pelican of uncer- tain age and no ambition, died in her quarters in the Bronx zoo.
 "Old Jenny" which arrived in 1904, was the second oldest zoo in- habitant, being antedated only by Pete" a hippopotamus, born in 1903.
 In announcing the passing of "Old Jenny" the zoo stated that she merely tate fish, sat around on the water, never mated and had no ambition"
 Because the bird was an adult when it was acquired by the ZOO, there waS.no way to determine it's actual age, but zoo officials said the longest recorded life of any pelican in zoo was 48 years, es- tabliShed in a European menag- erie Authorities explained that few pelicans live that long in the wild because of their inability to continue the struggle for food against more active birds.

Hartman Says Trade
Must be Expanded
BY the Associated Press

Secretary Of Commerce Hartman
says an expansion of trade among
all nations is indispensable to the
worlds long-run recovery from the
war.
In a statement for World Trade
Week, which begins next Monday
Mr.. Hartman urged that the United
States maintain the leadership he
said it had taken in international
efforts to reduce trade barriers.
Other nations, he said in a state
ment last night, "are encouraged by
the fact that our international poll
tical policies have the support of
the people of this country on a BIZ
partisan basis"
But" he continued, there re-
mains concern that we may not pur-
sue consistent policy of support
to the expansion of world trade.
"They know that our participation
In postwar international settlements
is essential in the development of a
just peace and in the protection
OF the interests of all"
MIR. Hartman said some coun-
tries need relief as a result of war
devastation and others must be
helped toward reconstruction by
loans to enable them to buy produc-
ing equipment from this country,
but America must increase It's i'm
ports to help them in the long pull

Indefinite Delay Seen
In Easing Curbs on
Non-Home Building
By tho Assoeiaied Press

A Federal housing official says
that if preliminary estimates on the
number OF new homes started In
April prove correct a proposed cas-
ing of non-residential construction
curbs probably will be delayed in
definitely"
The official said there had been
some discussion In the Office OF
Housing Expediter Frank r. Cree
don "about raising the present $50,-
100000 weekly average limitation on
non-housing construction"
He said this discussion resulted
from the poor showing on new
home starts" during March, indi-
eating that the curb could be eaSed
II home builders were not going to
use the materials.
However, the official added, pre-
liminary estimates show that more
than 10000 new permanent dwelling
units were started in April, more
than expected"
IF these estimates prove true," "
he said, I'VE cannot expect a re-
taxation on the non-residential
construction limitation until some
future date. The materials would
be needed for housing"
Home builders can expect relax
alton Of some other restrictions,
however, the official told reporter.
He said Mr.. Creedon's staff Is
studying proposal to eliminate
the regulations restricting new
dwellings to $500 square feet in
size.
"Tais regulation probably will be
eliminated" he said, although a
final decision has not yet been
made. Our study shows that 80
percent Of the new dwellings started
are around 1900 square feet, and it
is felt the curb may no longer be
necessary"
Other changes In the construction
regulations will be Of minor
nature" he added.

Msgr. Sheen Says Russians
Are Turning 10 Religion
By the Assoeiafed Press

NEW YORK, May 12.-Msgr. Full

Of religious feeling in Russia and
Russian occupied territory despite
ofdcial attempts to suppress religion
over many years.
Speaking at communion break
fast, Msgr. Sheen declared sacred
objects are coming out of hiding in
the Soviet Union because under
meath all this Communist barbar-
ism, there is suppression of natural
instincts"
He said he had been informed
that as many as one-third of the
soldiers of the Red Army had q
belief in God, transmitted to them
by their parents.
Msgr. Sheen declared an order
issued to the Catholic Church by the
Yugoslav government, which he said
offered a promise not to molest the
church if it would cease preaching
against atheism and break with
the Vatican, was indicative OF the
church's strong position in Yugo-

japanese Hearfened
On Loan Possibility
.0f Truman Doctrine
BY the Associated Press

TOKYO, May 12.-Encouraged by
recent developments In the United
States, Japanese business circles
are renewing discussion of "an
essential American loan" for Japan's
economic revival.
Japanese leaders were made
optimistic by Undersecretary of
State Acheson's proposals for
economic assistance to occupied
countries, and by Congressional ap-
|proval OF President Truman's pro-
gram of financial aid to Greece
and Turkey. Tokyo businessmen
also were heartened by the send
ing of an American trade mission
to Japan.
The question OF an American
loan to stimulate Japanese manu-
featuring is being revived after a
temporary lull-during a period
when Japanese believed Washing
ton might be lukewarm toward the
idea.
The newspaper Asahi reflected the
reawakened Japanese interest with
the editorial comment that '.it re-
quires no explanation that we must
ask Allied countries for the import
of foreign capital"
Asahi told its readers for the first
time that their debt to the United
States already exceeds $3.50, ,O00, 900
for essentials imported to date. It
urged more stringent domestic eco
nomic measures to meet the growing
debt.
The paper Mainichi, commenting
on Mr.. Acheson's recent speech, said
the United States lis the only coun-
try capable of achieving world eco
nomic stability"
The japanese have interpreted
President Truman anticommunist
policies as applying at least indirect
ly to Japan. Viewing Russia on the
north, they believe communism
would be a distinct threat in any
period of great economic upheaval
Restoration of health industry
they say. would be the best anti
dote.

Report Of Day Care
For Lewis Children

Senator Cooper, Republican, Of
Kentucky, chairman Of the District
subcommittee studying day care cen-
ters here, said today he would
examine the cases of all families
with children In the public centers.
Asked to comment on q published
report that he would demand an
explanation from the Board of Pub
lie Welfare on why Mrs. Shura
Lewis children were enrolled in o
day care center, Senator Cooper said
he was mot interested In the activi-
ties Of Mrs. Lewis as an individual
for they have no bearing on the
question of whether the day care
centers should be continued"
Mrs. Lewis Is the Russian-born
woman whose speech on Russia at
Western High School last week pre-
cipitated a four-student walkout
and launched two congressional In
quiries.
Case Investigated.
A. J. Driscoll. member of the well
fare board, said today that as soon
as he had seen newspaper refer
ence to the fact that Mrs. Lewis
two children were In public day
care center, he asked Assistant Wei
fare Superintendent Raymond F..
Clapp to make an investigation to
determine If the children were en-
titled to the service.
Mr.. Clapp said the case was in
vestigated when the children were
enrolled.
Mrs. Lewis" he said, "is the wife
Of a full-time student at George
Washington University. He gets
stipend from the Government which
is not enough to support himself,
his wife and two children. To per-
nit her husband to complete his
education, Mrs. Lewis found it nec-
essary to go to work. On that basis,
the children were accepted for care
In day care center"
Mr.. Clapp said Mrs. Lewis paid
a certain amount based on the Lewis
income. He wasn't sure OF the exact
figure but believed it to be 50 weekly.
Mrs. Lewis said last week that
she was employed as a teacher of
Russian at the Good Neighbor
School.
Subcommittee Holds Hearings.
Senator Cooper, whose subcom-
mittee has been holding hearings to
determine whether $245, 900 should
be authorized to finance the centers
for another year, said that hearings
so far had disclosed mo improper
action" on the part of the welfare
board which operates the IL centers.
''I intend to examine the complete
roll of families participating in the
program to ascertain If the children
are being cared for while one Of the
parents does part-time work." Sen
ator Cooper said.
my own interest is to get all of
the facts as one member of the
committee in determining with them
whether the program should be con-
tinued and upon what basis.
81 regret that the Lewis case has
entered into this question. ! cer-
tainly do not intend to give it any.
greater consideration than any other
case"
