 The 10 per cent boost will apply to States east of the Mississippi and north of the Ohio and Potomac rivers.

Senate Unit Calls Off Study
OF Newspapers Problems
By the Associated Press

Senator Murray, Democrat, of
Montana, chairman of the Senate
Small Business Committee in the
last Congress, yesterday cancelled
hearings on newspaper problems set
for Tuesday.
Senator Murray said that the Re-
publican majority of the Senate
had requested that mo hearings be
held until committees are reorgan-
ized."
Republican committee members
said, however, they felt the hearings
should be postponed rather than
cancelled, to "give the Senate an
opportunity to determine" whether
it wishes to continue a small bust
ness committee.
Senator Murray said the investi-
cation was designed to consider
many problems affecting the sur
vival of small independent news
papers of the country"
The Republicans, too, said "it is
desirable that an inquiry be made
into various problems confronting
newspapers, particularly with refer
ence to the continuing shortage OF
neWSprint."

both praised Mr.. Baruch's work
Mr.. Truman wrote him:
THAT our proposal should finally
be accepted by vote of 10 to moth

Mr.. Byrnes, noting that Mr.

English, but nodded" He's been max
ing animals ever since.
Probably his most complicated crea-
ton was Maude, the phony mule who
performs on skates for ice Capades."
Maude winks her eyes and wiggles her
ears. She eats hat and she waves her
stumpy tail. What's more, she does all
this while tearing madly over the ice,
Thanks to julius, all the front man in
Maude has to do is to pull wires -
Maude does the rest.
Julius made all the barnyard characters
in 'Chanticleer" when Caruso sang the
title role. For a show in the old Hip
podrome, he once made ia animals,
including giraffe. For Ziegfeld's Follies,
he turned out peacock and pheasant
costumes by the score.
Even slkin-makers have shortage trou-
bles. No springs we're available for the
long tails of two cats for Ice Capades, so
he decided to make his own springs. He
could get only short lengths of steel
wire. So he had to weld several coils
together to get the required length.
When a theatrical costumer has to
take up welding it's time to quit, julius
says. The only trouble is he can't.

Skin-making in those days consisted OF

Wonder what this boy does In his

graduated from Nativity School last
week, was pitcher on the baseball
team, forward on the basket ball
team and quarterback on the foot
ball team.
He received the American Legion
award for courage, leadership,
honor, service and scholarship" He
won the perfect attendance medal
and the Parent Teacher Association
award for general excellence, He
was graduated with an AZ average
and made a general average of GIG
per cent in his final exams.
There's a peculiar coaching prob
lem on the Midget B" baseball
team at Merrick Boys Club. Budd
Gillian watched Joe Di Maggie of
the Yankees step up to the plate
and take his f1at-footed stance.
Budd decided that that was for
him. He spreads his feet all right
and anchors them firmly the same
as Joe and he gets the hits, too.
Only trouble is that Budd is some
what smaller than Di Maggie and
once he connects with the ball he
can't get his feet untangled in time
to beat the ball to first.
The problem is: Whether to
change the stance and hit the ball
less, but get to first quicker, or to
keep the stance and hit more, but
reach first slower.
