paid to these nonresident rulers by
Andorra's 24-man national council.
Since either France or Spain would
raise howl if one of them should
try to seize Andorra, the mountain
eers who live in this picturesque
valley have been able to run their
own affairs for centuries and have
never displayed much interest in the
troubles of the rest of the tormented
world. Tending their flocks by day,
smuggling by night and frequently
just loafing in their majestic. verdant
mountain home, Andorrans have
had it so good for so long that
they've become little SNUG about
their blessings.
Inaccessible except by a one-
lane dirt road that winds over the
steep Pyrenees crags, Andorra
used to be sort of real-iife
Shangri-La. But swarms of political
refugees from France and Spain
f1ocked in. These intruders from the
outside world have put up modern
istic cottages and shops in Andorra's
six sleepy medieval villages, and
the more enterprising have some
what marred the landscape with a
power plant and radio station. But
even so, Andorra's serenity is prob
ablyunmatched anywhere in Europe,
and chances are that it will stay
that way for a long time to come.

ANDoRRA's nearest competitor for
general peace and quiet is the Prin-

Austria, one of which is larger than
his principality.
Despite feudal traditions, Liech-
tensteins government is highly
democratic. Its council is elected by
proportional representation. The
Princes powers are strictly limit

Arab leader, when these two were
trying to escape Allied troops in
1945. The country was never in
vaded by the Nazis, much to the
relief of its Germanic inhabitants,
who figured they were likely candi-
dates for the Greater Reich if any
body was.
Today Liechtenstein's S IL 900 peas

history"
After their liberation by British
troops in 1914, San Marino's peas
ants joyfully kicked out the Fascist
quislings and promptly. declared war
on Germany for the second time in
80 years. Their first experience at
hostilities with Germany ended in
some diplomatic embarrassment in
1910, when the San Marino Council
discovered they had neglected to
send anybody to Versailles in 1919
to sign the peace treaty and that
they we're, therefore. still technically
at war with Mussolini's ally.
The Envy Of Italy
Today, like most of Europe, it is
short of food and consumer goods.
But with empty jails and a brand
new set of colorful postage stamps
each year to keep the budget bal
anced, San Marino is the envy of
the Italians living in the surrounding
countryside. It's hardly surprising
that the little republic, already over
crowded, has to turn down hundreds
of requests for citizenship every
year.

Mundt Says Congress.
May Act on '0ne-Way
Soviet Reciprocity
" th. A,,osia,sd Press

Representative Mundt, Repuo-
lican, of South Dakota, demanding
an end to "one-way reciprocity in
Soviet-American relations, raised
the threat today of congressional
action if other means fail.
While voicing confidence that Sec
retary of State Marshall will seek to
remedy the situation which Mr..
Mundt said permitted Russia to
publish details Of American indus
trial construction, the lawmaker
told reporter:
Congress may have to step in If
something isn't done soon"
He isn't sure just what Congress
can do, Mr.. Mundt added. but he is
studying the subject.
Not Sure Of Congress Power.
1.-The Constitution pretty we'll de-
fines the authority of the executive
branch of Government in handling
such matters, and I'm not sure
whether it is within the power Of
Congress to intervene" he declared.
Perhaps the most we could do
would be to adopt a resolution urging
that definite action be taken"
Mr.. Mundt blamed what he called
"the administrations policy of ap-
peasing Russia" for the ability of
Soviet visitors here to obtain data
for Russian-language book titled
American Construction" Mr.. Mundt
said it was published last year by
the Amtorg Trading Corp, IAN OFF,
cial branch Of the Russian govern
ment."
Russia Restricts Americans.
1--WE have never insisted that Rus
sia accord to us the same privilege
we grant to Russians" the South
Dakotan said. Russians visiting
the United States have been allowed
to photograph industrial installa-
tions and other properties when
even Americans weren't allowed to
do so.
"Yet, Americans in Russia are re-
stricted sharply in their movements.
There has been no reciprocity, ex-
cept on a one-way basis, with the
Russians generally getting from us
what they demand"
Mr.. Mundt told the House yester-
day that existence of the Russian
book probably "is one of the rea-
sons the Russians are not interested
in arranging for an interchange OF
inspection"
Russia is getting all the infor-
nation they want about our defense
over here and they are not inter-
ested now in making any conces-
sions that might permit America to
learn what they are doing over
there" he said.
Maybe if we make it more diff
cult for them to get further infor-
nation. it will help Secretary of
State Marshall, 1t will help Warren
Austin american United Nations
delegate), get an agreement with
Russia from the standpoint of con-
trolling the atomic bomb by having
internal inspection"

Washington Brokers
See Larger Volume
On Margin S Return
By Edword c. Stone

Margin trading in all New York
Stock Exchange houses will be re-
sumed Saturday, February j, follow
ing Federal Reserve Board action
lifting the lost suspension Under
the rs per cent rule, Washington
brokers look for a larger volume of
trading, more stable prices, and
the probable return to life of many
investment accounts dormant dur
ing the past year.
Margin traders will pay for IS
per cent of their stock purchases
and borrow the other Is per cent
from their brokers. Many Ex-
change firm partners consider rs
per cent margin requirements too
high and hope so per cent require
ments will prevail in the spring.
Emil Schram, head of the Exchange,
favors so per cent.
Washington brokers appear more
cheerful on the outlook than in
some months, because of good earn
ings reports now appearing, i'm
proved labor situation, drop in some
living costs and expected tax cuts.
One firm manager believes the lows
of 1947 have already been seen.
Customers are crowding boardrooms
again and little fear is expressed Of
a business recession in the near fu-
ture, although caution has not dis
appeared.
