BY the Associated Press

CHICAGO, July ia former
Associated Press war correspondent
said yesterday that Gen. John j.
Pershing once gave him public
reprimand--and later private
thanks-for a dispatch filed.
The anecdote was related by Nor
man Draper, who covered Gen
Pershing's headquarters throughout
World War L. Mr.. Draper is now di-
rector of public relations for the
American Meat Institute here.
He said Gen. Pershing once
jokingly told him, "If you ever tell
that story before I'm dead; III cut
your ears off,"
Mr.. Draper now tells the story:
In France in 1918, correspondents
came upon the late Gen. Robert
Lee BuIlard, commander Of the
United States 1st Division, waving
his fist at five German aircraft
which had daily been strafing Amer
ican troops in the trenches.
Gen. Bullard held in his hand
cartoon from New York news
paper which showed mighty ar
mada of American planes powered
by Liberty engines crossing the
ocean to aid American troops.
Look at this" Mr.. Draper quoted
Gen. Bullard. Here the Germans
are killing my men in the trenches
while the American people think we
have plenty of air protection and
we haven't got it"

The coming special session OF
Congress will cost the taxpayers at
least S222,00O, a check by The Stal
indicated today.
That amount represents the cost
of paying each Senator and Repre-
sentative 20 cents a mile for trans
portation from his home to Wash
ington and the same amount fol-
the return trip. whether or not they
are now in Washington. The total
cost probably will come somewhere
near S250,000 when the additional
cost of electricity and other mlscel-
laneouS expenses are added.
Telephone and telegraph services,
allocated on a yearly basis, probably
would not increase very much, con-
gressional sources said, because
members secretaries and committee
staff personnel are allowed to use
both means of communications
while Senators and Representatives
are away from Washington. The
members of Congress themselves
also may spend money for phone
and telegrams while at home.
Will Not Be Third Session.
The special session actually will
not be special in the normal sense
of the word, that is, it will not be a
third session of the Eightieth Con-
eress, but a continuation of the
second session. The last third ses-
sion of a Congress was that of the
Seventy sixth Congress in 1940-4l
, There have been many third ses-

u. S. Army Sergeant
BefHends Crippled
Orphan Boy in China

NANKING.-A soldier Of the
United States army advisory group
in Marking has befriended a one
legged Chinese boy and is paying
for his schooling, according to a re-
cent report in the Chinese press.
He is Sergeant L. Beckwith, Of the
medical department., and the boy is
Che'en Li-chang, whose father was
killed while fighting the Japanese
in 1887.
Li-chang's mother is believed to
have persisted when Japanese
bombing planes destroyed a refu-
gee train in 1914. Li-chang lost his
leg in the raid.
A passing American truck driver
saw the boy lying by the roadside
and brought him to the hospital.
From then on the unit became his
guardian. Wearing a cut-down uni
form and travelling with his Ameri-
can protectors, Li-chang passed
from city to city in China. And as
his various fathers" left the unit,
each in turn handed him over to
another.
He finally ended up as the charge
of Sergeant Beckwith, a devout
Christian and a former captain in
the Salvation Army.
The sergeant, speaking of the
boys upkeep, said:
1.-THE biggest expense. oddly,
enough, is buying him shoes. Al
though Li-chang has only one leg
1 have to buy him shoes in pairs
and as he is lively and his weight is
all borne by one shoe it wear out
twice as fast as a normal boys.
The sergeant recently asked Lii
chang if he would like to go to
America. To his surprise the boy
said he could not. He was a Chi
nese, he added, and wanted to live
in China all his life.
Li-chang said he wants to train
as a doctor so that he can help his
fellow countrymen as he has been
helped.

Growing Mushrooms

Mushroom farming is a profit
able full-time business for those
who have the money and the skill
that comes only from experience.
Mushroom growing can also be a
pleasant hobby. Domestic mush-
rooms are an indoor crop. Al
though particular about moisture,
temperature and light, mushrooms
have been grown in cellars. sheds,
caves, root cellars, in greenhouses
between other crops, and in spe-
cial mushroom houses. The loca-
ton must be one that will enable
the grower to keep temperatures
As to 68 degrees during the grow
ing season, for mushrooms refuse
to prosper under higher or lower
temperatures.
