British Are Optimistic
Over Soviet Trade Pact
BY ihs Assoeioisd Press

MOSCOW, July 16.-Authoritative
British sources said today there was
good possibility Of concluding a
British-Russian trade agreement
soon.
The British were more optimistic
than at any time previously. Harold
Wilson, British Secretary Of Over
seas Trade, and his delegation have
been holding conversations nightly
with Russian foreign trade off1cials.
The British previously were re-
ported seeking wheat, which Prime
Minister Stain was reported to
have told Foreign Secretary Bevin
during the Moscow conference might
be available for export this fall.
Some British dispatches had ex-
pressed pessimism about the Moscow
trade talks in view of Russias dis
pleasure with the Marshall proposal.
for European economic recovery.
While some members of Mr.. Will
sons delegation few toward London
this morning, Mr.. Wilson himself
remained in Moscow, despite urgent
duties In London. His decision to
stay here during this important
stage Of negotiations was interpreted
as an indication that Mr.. Wilson
was hopeful of a quick agreement.

The middle income" for the
Nations 4e,500,000 families rose
from $4,000 in 1945 to $4,000 last
year, the Federal Reserve Board
estimated today.
Middle income" means that half
the families received more, half
less. The boards survey defined a
family as a related group living
under the same roof and pooling
incomes to meet major expenses.
The board said go per cent or
81 SOC, 900 OF these families had a
Joint income of $4,000 or more in
1916 compared with So per cent or
"a, SOC, 900 the year before.
Fewer than $500 900 families had
income at that level in the mid
1930s-but dollars would buy more
then. The board noted that even
the income rises from 1945 to 1916
were offset by Substantial increases
in prices OF consumer goods"
Incomes Of white collar families
improved more on an annual basis
than those of wage workers, the
survey showed, largely because
many wage workers worked less
although their hourly pay rose.
The middle income for families
with earnings from clerical and
sales work was $500 Last year, up
$400 from the year before.
For families of skilled workers
alone, the middle income was
$500, but for skilled, semiskilled
and unskilled workers families
taken together it was $4,000, up
only $100 from 1945.
Families of professional workers
Jared best, with middle incomes
rising to $4,000 last year, up $700
from the year before. Those Of
business managers and the self
employed did next best, with middle
incomes OF $3,700, up by $400.
Middle incomes Of families oper-
ating farms was given as 81 800, up
$500, but the board pointed out that
substantial supplements in nom
money income such as food raised
on the farm keep farmers incomes
from being closely comparable with
others:

Plays Politics With
Veterans Legislation
By the Assoeiossd Press

Senator Morse, Republican. Of
Oregon today accused the Senate
Republican leadership Of trying to
kill off through delaying action a
measure which would boost Gov
ernment payments to veterans
studying under the CT bill.
THE leadership is playing politics
with veterans legislation" Senator
Morse told a reporter after an un-
successful attempt to get vote on
the proposal. Their strategy Is to
pass this at the tail end of the ses-
sion so the House won't have time
to act"
Chairman Taft of the Senate Re-
publican Policy Committee denied
any such intention. He said the bill
will be considered in its turn, but
that the Senate first must push
through a number of delayed ap-
preparations for the fiscal year which
began July l.
''If every Senator is going to in
sist that his bill be first" Senator
Taft said, there can be no order.
With the gleeful support OF all
Democrats present, Senator Morse
came within six votes late yesterday
of upsetting the leadership's legis-
lative schedule to take up the vet
erans' bill without delay.
Republican chieftains had to go
through the tedious process Of ad-
journing the Senate by formal
rollcall vote in order to retain con-
troll. The adjournment motion car
ried, IS to 20, with four Republicans
Joining Is Democrats on the losing
side.
Senator Morse urged immediate
passage of the bill which would in
crease monthly allowances to single
veterans attending schools from $50
to s75; married veterans from 500
to $105. and married veterans with
children from $50 to $120.
Republicans joining him against
the adjournment motion were Sen
ators Aiken of Vermont, Cooper OF
Kentucky and LANCER OF North
Dakota.

DO We HAVE TO DIE!

Thirty years ago, in Forbidden
Tibet, behind the highest noun
tains in the world, a young
Englishman named Edwin j.
Dingle was desperately ill in
mind and body. A great mystic
opened his eyes. A great change
came over him. He realized the
strange Power that knowledge
gives.
That Power, he says, can trans
form the life of anyone. Cues
tons, whatever they are, can be
answered. The problems of
health, death, poverty and wrong,
can be solved.
In his own case, he was brought
back to splendid health. He ac-
quired wealth, too, as well as
worldwide professional recogni-
ton. Thirty years ago, he was
sick as a man could be and live.
Once his coffin was bought. Years
of almost continuous tropical
fevers, broken bones, near blind
ness, %privation and danger had
made a human wreck of him,
physically and mentally.
He was about to be sent back
to England to die, when a strange
message came-"They are wait
ing for you in Tibet" He wants
to tell the whole world what he
learned there, under the guidance
of the greatest mystic he ever en-
icountered during his twenty-one
years in the Far East. He wants
everyone to experience the great
er health and the Power, which
there came to him.
Within ten years, he was able
to retire to this country with a
fortune. He had been honored

rigid laws for ones conduct on
that day. Gin Massachusetts, the
law provided that no person
should be permitted to walk in
the streets on Sunday, except in
reverently going to church."
Both in the North and the
South it was the custom to have
two or three religious services
during a single Sunday, with a
long recess at noon for dinner.
In New England and some of
the other colonies, there were
little houses or shanties built
near the Westinghouse, so that
people might be kept warm and
dry during dinner. These were
called moon houses"
It was thought wrong to have
a fire in the churches on the

the children's play hushed. Next
morning the whole family arose
early. No work, except such as
was absolutely necessary, was
done. No hot meals were pre-
pared. The dishes were left IN
washed until Monday morning.
The entire household set out
for the Westinghouse, some
times several miles distant.
When they entered the church,
the children were separated
from their parents. the boys 60
ing into one pew and the girls
into another. The service was a
long one, the sermon sometimes
lasting three or four hours.
But woe betide the Inlucky
child who CHANGED to close his
eyes. Suddenly down would
come the tap, tap of a knobby
pole upon his head. It was the
tithing man. whose duty it was
to keep order. Now he tickled
the face of a sleepy little girl
with the fox-tail on the end of
his pole, now he smartly raped
the skull of an unru,y ,mall boy.
That the boys were unruly
is proven by the records of their
time. One reads thus: 1--WE of
Medford do pass all order that
all small boys who cut the seats
in the Westinghouse shall be
prosecuted" T'ithing men and
constables were appointed espe-
cia1ly to watch over the "pue OF
We wretched boys"
Another record reads: "T1is
majesty's Tithing man entered
complaint against iona and Su-
san Smith that on the Lords
Day during Divine Service they
6lo smile They were found gull
ty and each was fined five shil-
l1ngs and costs"
. There were Sabbaths, when
the snow was thick on the
ground, that proved a ''te,npta.
ton of ye Devile'' to many boy
ish hearts, and they went "slee-
ing" This reused the wrath of
the Albany authorities ana they
passed a law forbidding such
"unseemly wickedness."
"Whereas the children of the
said city do very unorderly, to
the shame and scandal Of their
parents, ride down the hills in
the streets of the said city with
