Saga
How's Everything?

A lone, jolly English tar played a
game of hare and hounds with the adj
miral's barge and the captains gig in
the historic Annapolis roadstead and
hundreds of American spectators
hoped the British top sea dogs have
a sense of humor as well as justice.
The sailor Communicated a hydro
plane from the HM,S Sheffield and
bounced owe the lhoppy Severn
River, hailing each of the many
pleasure craft he passed with "How's
everything?"
The Sheffield sent the captains gig
in chase. 1t was too slow.
The admiral's barge joined in. 1t
was too slow, too.
Efforts to corner the h%ydroplane
failed and the sailor jauntily circled
in near Naval Academy piers to in
quire, Flows everything?" His hail
drew t~hunderous cheers.
The admiral's barge had to take
time out to pick up Lord Inverchapel,
British ambassador to the US. Then
it rejoined the chase.
AS darkness settled over the Severn,
the hydroplane still cut its merry
capers and an occasional "How's ev-
erything?" foated over the water.
Soon afterward, though, the tiny n.y.
droplane ran out Of gas and the chase
was over.
The sailor was back aboard the
cruiser when it upped anchor next
morning for its trip back down the
Chesapeake Bay.

Hughes Inquiry Resumed

Senate investigators this week Sc

$40, OOO,0 900 wartime airplane con-
tracts awarded to Howard Hughes,
Hollywood plane designer and film
producer.
Subcommittee chairman Homer
Ferguson R-Mich) took special pre-
cautionse to avoid attention. Closed

There was no leak on the identity of
persons questioned, some of whom
may testify when the public hearings
are scheduled to reopen November II.
These quiet sessions were in con-
trast to the dramatic hearings Sen.
Ferguson abruptly recessed last
August after questioning Hughes and
his heavy-spending public relations
man, John w. Meyer.

Military VS.. Pure Science
With one hand the United States
barred Soviet military representa-
tives from an arms demonstration at
the Aberdeen, Md, Proving Ground,
while with the other it permitted
Russian scientists to view new Amer
lean weather forecasting techniques.
The Army explained its Aberdeen
ban on the grounds that American

from a similar Russian demonstration,
Brig. Gen. D. N. Yates, chief of the
US. Air Forces Air Weather Service,

Twice-Freed Heiress

Travel was the first thing on the
minds of Louise Overell and her col
lege sweetheart, George (Bud) Col
lum, both of whom were acquitted
this week in Santa Ana, Calf, on
charges of numbering her wealthy
parents after the longest criminal trial
IN American court history.
And the trips, said Louise, sole heir
ess to her parents $4,000 estate,
were going to be separate. She had
decided not to marry Gollum but
denied that love letters exchanged in
jail and used as prosecution evil
dence had anything to do with
breaking the engagement.
Their wedding had been planned
for her 18th birthday, last April 80,
but by that time they were under in
dlctment for the murder of MI. and
Mrs. Walter E. Overell in the still
mysterious blast of the family yacht
last March Is.
Louise plans a European vacation
with her cousin, Marjorie Jungquist,
to get away from it all.
Gollum, 81, plans a so, O00-mile auto
trip about the country, with Louise,
if she'll come" He said he still loved
the chubby heiress.

Wartime Tests Eayred
Meanwhile in Seattle, a top wartime
psychologist declared that lives of
countless American fiers could have
been saved during the last war by
soaring" them in training, but the
high command refused, he said, to
permit such methods because it feared
a wave of protests from parents.
The claim was made by DR.. Paul
Horst, industrial psychologist at the
University of Washington and for
three years research director in Sc
lection, classification and training pro-
cedures for the Army Air Force
Training Command.

Public Policy

The President has distributed for
careful consideration by federal de-
partments a plan for spotting gov
eminent science projects more widely
about the country against the posi-
bility of atomic warfare.
The blueprint was contained in the
third of five volumes of a report by
John r. Steelman, Presidential assist
ant, on Science and Public Policy"
Steelman reported a major portion
of wartime science, research and de-
velopment assigned to a comparative
ly few large universities and indus
trial firms, mainly in the east.
He found So different government
agencies engaged in scientific research
and development, 10000 scientists on
government payrolls and more than
two billion dollars invested in federal
laboratories and scientific equipment.
Much of this program grew in
''piecemeal" fashion, he said, recon-
mending reorganization toward a def
mite goal with geographic dispersion
of essential facilities.
His proposals:
Establishment of an interdepart-
mental committee ON scientific re-
search and development, composed
of government officials appointed by
the President.
Creation of a unit in the Bureau
of the Budget to fit federal scientific
projects into the national program.

RUSSIA: theological Warfare

AN ANNOUNCEMENT this
n week from Moscow of a
nine-nation conference Of Com
munist parties for an about ideol-
ogical campaign against "Ameri-
can imperialism" solidified still
further the division of Europe into
opposing camps Of east and west.
Creation of the new international
organization, first such group publicly
supported by the Russians since Pre-
mier Stain declared the Comintern
dead in 1943, amounts to a virtual
declaration of political warfare against
the United States.
In effect, it declares the Communist
intention to wreck, if possible, the
Marshall plan for European aid and
the Truman doctrine to combat totali-
tarianism. 1t is a drive, under guild
ance of the Soviet Politburo, against
the U.s., its foreign policy and its
leaders for control of western Europe
and probably other strategic areas of
the world.
Directed by Kremlin
Russia was represented at the IN
heralded Warsaw conference last
month, at which the new international
organization was formed, by two of
its top Politburo leaders: Colleen.
Andrei Zhdanov and Georegi M.
Malenkov.
All but two of the nine nations
present were within the Soviet sphere
of eastern Europe. Poland, Romania,
Bulgaria, Yugoslavia, Hungary, Czech
slovakia and Russia herself form the
Soviet bloc. The two non-bloc coun-
tries were France and Italy.
France was represented by its top
Communist, Jacques Duclos. Italy's
best known Red spokesman, Palmiro
Togliatti, was in Rome leading the

quest. Distillers were asked to shut

end the use of wheat in fermentation
and turn loose grain stocks they had
on hand. Farmers were asked to re-
duce the grain fed to livestock and
poultry.
Political CrOssfire
1nescapably, the aid-Europe pro-
gram ran into political crossfire, The
White House emphasized that the
Presidents voluntary food saving
plan was a waste less rather than
an "eat less" program.
Two weeks earlier, Sen. Robert
A. Taft (R-Ohio), in a speech on his
western tour, had advised Americans
to "eat less and less extravagantlv."
Taft, father of the new labor law, en-
countered pickets at subsequent stops
on his tour, bearing signs coupling
the 'eat less advice with anti-Taft
slogans.
At the poultry industry's protest
that Thanksgiving, Christmas and
New Years Day fall on Thursday
and the Presidents ban would bank
rupt turkey growers, the White House
made an exception for those holidays.
with Monday of those weeks becom-
ing the poultryless day. More than
half the nations turkeys are con-
sumed OF those three holidays.
Battle of Food
In the four-netWork, half-hour
broadcast from the White House. the
President declared:
The battle to save food in the
United States is the battle to save our
OWL prosperity and to save the free
countries of western Europe. Our
s%elf-denial will serve US in good
stead i n the years to come"
Secretary of State George c. Mar
shall u~nderscored that theme.
Food today is foreign policy" he
said. Our foreign policy has entered
the American home and taken a seat
at the family table"
Grain Margins Raised
The government, acting to curb
grain speculation which some Con-
gressional investigators claim is re-
sponsible for high prices, forced the
nations grain exchanges to increase
margins OF all trading in futures to
1915 percent.
Meanwhile a Senate agriculture
subcommittee planned a survey of
the midwest to study a long range
grain program. Hearings will be
held in Springfield, Ill, October 20;
Minneapolis, October %; Ames, Iowa,
