u. 5. Reporters Meet
On German NewsCurb
BY the Associoted Press

FRANKFURT, Germany, April
26-The United States Correspond
ents' Association meets here today
especially to talk over new Army
ban on information not of public
interest or of a privileged nature u
The ban is ordered in an Army
circular dated April 9. Under a
circular previously in effect since
December S. 1916, the only informa-
ton of which release was prohibited
was that involving security or pos
sibly injurious to good relations with
allies.
Col. D. M. Fowler, chief OF the
Army's Public Information Division
denied the new order was an extern
sion q censorship. He said the
phrase, mot of public interest" was
meant to guide Army public rela-
tlons officers in putting out news
He said he added "of a privileged
nature himself to protect the pri-
vacy of correspondents communica-
tions carried on the Army teletype
system.
In Berlin. the Office Of Gen. Lu-
cius d. Clay, American commander
IN Germany, said the goldfish
bowl news policy still was in effect
But some correspondents expressed
the feeling the order was broad and
in need of clarifying.
In the new circular. the ban on
information which might injure
good relations with our allies" was
replaced by one on information on
matters under diplomatic study
This evidently was an outgrowth of
open disagreement between the
United States and Russia in Ger
many.

NorfoIk-D. T.. Boat
Is Delayed 10 Hours
Due 10 Poor Coal

The Norfolk to-Washington steam
er District of Columbia arrived
here nearly 10 hours late yesterday
after being toWed from the Nor
gantown Bridge.
George E. Herring. general man.
ager OF the Norfolk Washington
Steamship Co., owners of the YES
sci, said the ship, with a passenger
list of l3l persons, was unable to
get up sufficient steam. He blamed
the failure on inferior coal" taken
aboard at Norfolk.
The ship left Norfolk at 5:45 pm,
Saturday, and was due in Washing
ton yesterday morning. Among the
passengers were 81 girls from two
Cleveland (Ohio) schools.
The captain of the steamer
Edward Eaton of 1902 Nichols ave-
nue. Sc, called company officials
by radiotelephone about 9 am
when the ship was already two
hours overdue-and told them the
coal taken aboard at Norfolk was
dust" He reported the vessel was
being taken in tow by the tug Coral
Sea. which had been bound for Bal
timore after delivering an oil barge
here.
Passengers Enjoy Trip.
AS the steamer slowly Travelled
up the river, the passengers took
sun baths, mapped or watched the
scenery, Mr.. Herring said. He de-
clared he received no complaints
from passengers because of the
delay.
'The college students missed out
on some sightseeing" he said, But
otherwise the passengers seemed
glad of the extra time on the river
While the passengers loafed and
ate luncheon prepared from stores
kept aboard for such emergencies,
the crew of IS threw the powdered
coal overheard. A load of regular
grade fuel was to be loaded at
Washington.
Mr.. Herring said only previous
failures to make schedule have
been caused by weather conditions,
He blamed the work stoppage bv
miners for the lack of regular fuel
at Norfolk.
New Coal Taken Aboard,
After the crew cleaned I'D the
ship, dirtied by the flying coal dust.
they loaded enough regular-grade
coal to take the ship to Norfolk and
back. The District of Columbia
left Washington last night at 1920,
four hours behind schedule, for a
return trip to the Virginia city.
Mr.. Herring said salvage rates
would be paid to the Interstate Oil
Co, Philadelphia, owners of the
tug, but said. the amount would
have to be worked out by LAWYERS
Tor the two companies.
We've never had anything like
this before" he said. It'll take
some time to work out the details, "
He added that a rescue tug would
have been dispatched from Wash
ington had not the Coral Sea been
nearby.

A., B. & W. Executive
Tells ice Firm Loses
y Cents Each Mile

An executive Of the Alexandria
Bancroft & Washington Transit Co.
told the Interstate Commerce Com
| mission today that the bus line is
operating at loss averaging 2l2
cents a mile.
AS first witness in a hearing on
the A. B. & w. petition for increased
fares, B. C. May, general manager
of the company, testified that losses
amounted to s45,l51 in the first
three months this year.
At this rate, Mr.. May said. l948
losses will total S163456 and the
company will be forced to "dras-
tically curtail' service. He also said
many of the utility's 495 employees
would be adversely affected.
Higher Expenses Cited.
Among higher company expenses
listed by Mr.. May was an increase
of from $1,000 to nearly 5000 the
company pays as rent for its bus
yard and workshops on jefferson
Davis highway to r. L. May, presi-
dent and controlling stockholder of
the bus company. The general man.
ager said this rented property has
been appraised at a total value. of
S467 900 and noted that the S25. 5000
rental was less than a per cent
return on the investment.
The property was acquired by R.
l.. May in 1880. A. B. & w. had
no use for it until 1887, when it
was first leased from the companys
founder. Mr.. May said because of
the property'S strategic central To-
cation, it is the most desirable site
for the purpose for which it is used.
He said the company could not
find comparable facilities that would
be as economical.
Earlier, Mr.. May testified that his
father, r. L. Nav, took a reduction
in salary from s25 900 to $4,000 as
president of the company in l947
and that the reduction was still
in effect.
are hdlSe Proposed.
The A. B. & w. petition proposes
to raise the present l0-cent rate
for rides between the District and
nearby Virginia points to the equiv
alent of l2l2 cents, at two tokens for
Is cents. This would not affect fares
between the District and the Penta-
gon or other Government installa-
tions in Virginia. which are part of
another proceeding before the ICC.
Under the plan, straight cash fares
would be Is cents.
The company proposes to dis
continue the sale of tokens on all
other interstate operations.
Mr.. May said A. B. & w. is now
feeling the full brunt of substan-
tlal increases in operating costs
and reduced patronage" He said his
company has not changed fares
since 1880, and is the only transit
company in the Washington area
which has made no increase since
the end of the war.
Losses are Stressed.
Mr.. May testified that despite
honest, efficient and economical
management" the A., B. & w. is
losing $3.50 for every slOO of rev.
enues. Among reasons assigned for
the losses were a So per cent in
crease in the purchase price of
buses, higher wages for employees
and the slump in patronage.
He said the total operating rev.
enues in 1947 declined $450,000 from
the revenues in l946.

France May Use Pact
With Britain as Lever
To Change Ruhr Policy
ey ihe Assoeioted Press

PARIS, Nov. 1a.-An authorita-
tive source said today that France
may invoke the British-French
friendship treaty to force change
In British policy on the Ruhr.
Britain aroused the French early
this month when she made joint
announcement with the United
States that the German people
would be allowed to decide the fu-
ture ownership of the Ruhr's basic
industries and that the Germans
would be given immediate limited
cootrol of those industries.
An official In touch with the
French Foreign once said the
French government regards that &C
ton and a statement supporting it
In the British House Of Commons
this week to be in conflict with the
Dunkereue alliance.
He said the Foreign Office experts
are studying what to do next within
the framework and a spirit of the
treaty to bring what he called the
inconsistencies of Britair1s policy to
her attention.
Mcneil Termed Incorrect.
France protested to both Britain
and the United States Immediately
after their policy statement was is
sued. Her notes were delivered on
the eve of the opening of six-power
talks now In progress in London to
write statute for control of the
Ruhr.-
The French informant charged
the House of Commons statement
by British Minister of State Hector
Mcneil Monday backgrounding Brit
aims action on the Ruhr simply
was not correct"
Mr.. Mcneil told the House it was
inaccurate to say the six powers
which were parties to last June's
London pact on western Germany
reserved" the Ruhr for future
discussion.
An official sources in Paris said
the French and British govern
ment know definitely the Ruhr was
reserved for ministerial level dis
cussion"
The official, who preferred to re-
main anonymous at this time, said
the future Of the Ruhr was reserved
for later discussion because the
parties to the treaty were unable
to agree on how the communique
should be worded.
Confirmation OF the French posi-
ton could not be obtained imme-
diately from British officials here.
Mr.. Mcneil was not available for
comment.
Failure to Consult Charged.
The oficial said Britain's joint
action with the United States in
making arrangements for the Ruhr
without consulting France con-
flicts with the spirit if not the
letter OF the Dunkerque treaty of
friendship"
"a Washington dispatch, mean
WHlle, QuOIeu nlSH 1oFtlH-
r11ent official as claiming that
both the United States and Brit
ain did consult France
France always has pressed for
international control of the Ruhr.
The French government and peo-
pie are so jittery over the pos
sibility OF a German military re-
vival they insisted on writing a
clause into the treaty with Britain
obligating both TO prevent Ger
many from becoming a menace to
peace"
The official said the Dunkerque
pact provides that neither sigma
tory shall ENTER into any obliga-
ton inconsistent with the provisions
Of the present treaty"

STAN LEE

The sneeze by definition is a
sudden, rather violent expiration
of breath. It can be brought on by
a slight irritation in the nose, a
change in temperature or a fash
of light. 1t may result from an in
fection "a cold, the measles or
influenza = or it may be "neuro-
genie" - a case for the psychia-
trists. 1t rarely lasts longer than
one tenth of a second.
You Have 4 Pattern
WHETHER you realize it or not,
you have a sneezing pattern, and
every time you sneeze you do it
in exactly the same way. Perhaps
you're a multiple sneezer" you
never sneeze just once but always
three, four, or even five times in
a row.
According to DR.. Milton H.
Erickson, of the Wayne County,
Michigan, Hospital, multiple sneez-
ing probably runs in families. DR..
Erickson has done extensive re-
search on the subject, recently re-
ported-the case of young lady
who was a double sneezer." She
claimed that after she sneezed
