 WASHINGTON When Harry Truman gets away from govern ment by cronies" and acts on his own, he usually rings the bell. When he acts hastily "on the ad- vice of crontes," he frequently gets his feet wet-and the nations, too. That is one deduction drawn from the present woes of White House radio adviser J. Leonard Reinsch. Last spring, Reinsch. an appli- cant for radio station in Gin cinnati, Ohio, was turned down by the Federal Communications Con- mission. Shortly thereafter, FC- Commissioi Ter Ray Wakefield, Re- publican, S,ho voted against Rein sch and his Cincinnati station, found, himself out of job. The White house had withdrawn MT Wakefield's name for reappointl ment
 In his place was appointned Congressman Robert Jones, not merely a Republican, but a strong ly isolationist Republican, with a record of having voted against Roosevelt foreign policies both before and after Pearl Har- bor.
 Others besides Reinsch-notably ex-Speaker Sam Rayburn-had something to do with Jones ap- pointment. But Truman himself apparently realized little of what

British Press Halls
Truman S MESSAGE
BY the Associated Press

LONDON, Jan. Most sections
of the British press today acclaimed
President Truman's message to Con-
gress as transcending party lines
and saw in his recommendations an
honest effort to achieve national
welfare and in turn world security
The Times of London said the
message was distinguished by an
appeal, powerful in itself and rem
dered more powerful still by per-
sonal delivery, for cooperation be-
tween the Republican Legislature
and the Democratic Executive"
The Financial Times called it "a
statesmanlike address" and the
Daily Telegraph said it was ito the
Presidents credit that there should
have been so much which subor-
dinated party profit to national
interest"
The Yorkshire Post declared the
contents of the message evidently
were determined by "the knowledge
that the United States plays a domi-
nant part in the international scene
and bears corresponding responsible
tiles"
A discordant note was sounded by
the Communist Daily Worker. which
said the Presidents strike curb pro-
posals were directed against the
unions" and asserted he was prr-
suing a policy which can only
bring the dreaded slump nearer"

Supreme Court Allows
Appeals Decision on
Life Policy 10 Stand

The Supreme Court yesterday de-
clined to review District case in
which the United States Court Of
Appeals ruled that life insurance
money. left to a deceased wife, be-
longs to her survivors, and not to
her husbands estate.
The highest court permitted the
Life Insurance Association of Amer
lea and the National Association Of
Life Underwriters, as friends of the
court, to file briefs.
Mrs, Julia c. Buckley died without
making a will on October 3, 1885.
Her husband, Michael E. Buckley.
died December s, 1943. Although
she died more than eight years be-
fore her husband, her name re-
manned on his life insurance poll
cies, totaling more than $4,000, as
beneficiary.
The Lincoln National Bank Of
Washington, as executor of Mr..
Buckley's estate, and Karl Kindle-
berger, administrator of the wife's
estate, both sought the insurance
money. The administrator filed suit
in District Court, which dismissed
the case
The United States Court of Ap-
peals, however, reversed the lower
court. 1t held that, in the absence
of change in beneficiary, where
the insured legally could make the
change but failed to do so, the wife's
administrator was entitled to the
fund.
The bank then sought to chal-
lenge the lower courts construction
of the District act of June 19, 1884,
dealing with this subject. In op-
posing Supreme Court review of
the case, Mr.. Kindleberger's lawyers
said it was purely a District local
matter and pointed to the act of
March 8, 1901, creating vested in
terest for the wife in all insurance
policies. They contended the wifeis
legal representatives are entitled to
the insurance money.
The bank contended that, if the
Appeals Court ruling stands, it
would nullify the provision in in
Vulnerable insurance contracts that
If named beneficiary dies before
the insured, the proceeds shall be
payable to the insured's estate.
Further, it argued, it would extend
the District law to cover heirs, legal
representatives, legatees and credi-
tors of a beneficiary, which the law
makers never intended.

ChiIdren's 5 Museum
In Forest Hills Area

The Forest Hills Citizens Associa-
tion last night took steps to block
the establishment of the Children's S
Museum at 2700 Tilden street NV
The association opposed the mu-
scum on the grounds that the Forest
Hills area is zoned as Residential A
and that the residents are intent on
maintaining its residential character
The group empowered Joseph
Sanders to find out whether Off
cials of the museum organization
have obtained an occupancy permit.
Before an occupancy permit can
be granted, Mr.. Sanders maintained,
the Board of Zoning Adjustments
would be required to give its ap-
proval after a public hearing. Mr..
Sanders said he would appear at
such hearing to present the as
sociation'S case.
George T. Bowman, association
president, emphasized that the group
is not opposed in principle to a
childrens museum but that the
association always has opposed the
attempt of any organization to
locate in the neighborhood.
Officials of the museum yesterday
issued an appeal to civic organi-
cations for funds and launched a
piggy bank" campaign among
school children in an effort to reach
its $4,000 goal to complete the
down payment on the Tilden street
property.
The association also asked that
the zoning board be stopped of its
power to allow establishment in
Residential A districts of colleges,
private schools and nonproflt Or
ganizations.
