DPS to the us.

The International Refugee Organi-
Zation is planning to resume the
movement of displaced persons to the
United States next month.
The flow of DPS ceased in July
with Congressional passage of the act
permitting entry of 2O5,OOO refugees.
Previously, refugees had entered this
country at their own expense under
the Truman directive" giving quota
preference to refugees, but the direc-
tive was suspended under the act.
The IRO's director in the American
zone of Germany, Robert Corkery of
Seattle, Wash, has been in Washing
ton for several weeks.
One Of the problems is whether the
normal American consular procedure
in Germany can handle a rush of 2O5,-
600 visa applicants.
A group of voluntary relief agen-
cies in Germany claimed recently that
only one quarter of a potential 10000
refugees were able to enter the United
States under the Truman directive be-
cause American consulates in Ger
many were unable to handle the mass

China
Prices VS.. Custom

Prices VS.. Custom
Chinese prices rise and fall in the
market place with the tramp Of police
and army squads.
Teams move up one street and
down another checking prices. Before
them prices tumble and behind them
prices rise faster than it is possible to
tote on an abacus. It is an old Chinese
custom.
Many times in the past decade, the
government has sought to hold down
prices. Each time the effort failed.
This time the government is more de-
termined than ever.
Jails are jammed with violators. At
Nanking, the major general in charge
of price regulations has been SEN
fenced to death. He was caught black
marketing.
Buyers complain that merchants
employ tricks polished by ancient
usage among the Chinese - choice
goods are kept out of sight, restau-
rants cut their portions and dishonest
scales are everywhere.
Word has gone out that the gold
yuan replacing the old, inflated cur
rency, is nationalist China's last
chance. If it fails, China may crash
into the laps Of the Communists.
Most Chinese say they don't want
that but merchants don't want to stop
their traditional squeeze, either. It's
an old Chinese custom.

tension. For the, first time since March
20, the Allied Control Council in Ber-
lin convened to consider instructions
flown from the Moscow conference.
Francois Seydoux, special French
political adviser at the four-power
talks in the Kremlin, carried prOpO-
sails for settlement Of the tangled cur
rency situation in the German capital
to the military governors.
A Currency Deal
In London, authoritative American
and British sources said the Occupa-
ton commanders took up a currency
deal on the basis Of principles agreed
upon in Moscow.
This, British informant said, was
on the basis of the Soviet zones mark
being accepted as Berlin's sole cur
rency, under clearly defined four
power supervision.
It was indicated that details Of the
currency reform were so involved
that the western ENJOYS in Moscow
did not have sufficient information on
hand to reach a final settlement. It
was decided to refer the matter to the
military governors who have been
dealing with the situation first hand.
Germany now has two currencies,
the Deutsche mark, sponsored by the
western powers, and the east mark,
sponsored by the Russians.

Georgia
Feudina Governors

FeUdlng Governors
The principals in Georgia's famed
case of the two governors go to the
mat again Wednesday.
In fact, Gov. M. E. Thompson and
Herman Talmadge never have stopped
fighting. They have been at it, with
brief respites, since the State Supreme
Court ruled Thompson was the legal
victor in early 1947.
The issue will be decided decisively
Wednesday in the Democratic pri-
mary which, in Georgia, is tanta-
mount to election. The race is for the
UneXpired term of Herman's father,
the late Eugene Talmadge, who was
elected governor but died before as
suming Office. The term has two years
to run.
Herman, an ex-naval officer, said
he was governor because he had re-
ceived 375 write-in votes in the gen.
eral election. Georgia's legislature
agreed with him and for the next 81
days he ruled as governor and lived
in the executive mansion.
Thompson, however, asserted that
as the legally nominated and elected
lieutenant governor he should succeed
to the executive post. He, too, set up
an administration.
Then came the Supreme Court de-
cision and Herman vacated the capi-
tai and the mansion with this an
nOuncement: well be back"
Herman has raised the banner OF
'white supremacy" and adopted the
red suspenders of his father as his
political trademark.
Three other candidates are in the
race but the main battle is between
the two feuding governors.

MOUTH, always a nations most
4 valuable asset, began to sign
up last week for the second mili-
tary conscription in the peace.
time history Of the United States.
Registration will continue at
10000 draft centers throughout the
country through September 18 when
100000 men between the ages Of 18
and 25 will have signed up.
Registration is by age groups, with
the oldest-25-starting it off, then the
24-year-olds and on down to the teen
ayers. Those not 18 by September 19
will register within five days Of their
18th birthday.
First Draft Call
The first call for draftees from this
pool is for 10000 men to be indicted
into the Army during November.
Draftees will be taken from each
state according to quotas. Individuals
will be chosen in order of birthdays,
beginning with the oldest. Duty will
be for 81 months.
Defense Secretary James v. For
restal said the Army is the only serv-
ice in need of inductees. The Navy,
Coast Guard, Air Forces and Marines
will be up to strength during the fis-
cal year ending June, 1949.
Census Of Draft-Age Men
Registration does not mean that a
man will be drafted. It is primarily
an official government census Of draft
age men.

sential industry, students, public Off

Square all over the city.
The color scheme was orange for
Hollands ruling House of Orange
Nassau. It was Jubilee Week. There
was dancing in the streets, wild jubi-
lation for the usually Staid Dutch in
the greeting of a new queen-their
first new one in exactly half a CEN
tury.
Yet through all the week-long fes-
tivities, particularly among the older
generation, there was a note of sad
ness at the departure of Queen Will
helmina, who had ruled since 1898.
Wilhelmina had guided her people inn
periOusly but with an understanding
humanity through two world wars
and many other troubles since she
mounted the throne as a girl Of 18.
5O-Year Span
Wilhelmina was 68 Tuesday. The
climax of the golden jubilee came
Saturday when the matriarch in the
seClusiOn of her Amsterdam palace
abdicated in the presence of high gov
ernment officials. It was the first
Dutch abdication since William of
Orange retired voluntarily 1O8 years
ago.
The rule passed to Princess Juliana,
80, mother of four daughters by the
German-born Bernhard, Prince Of the
Netherlands.
The new queen, Wilhelmina's only
child, took Office the moment her
mother signed the throne away. Ju-
Llama will be formally installed as
monarch in the 18th century New
Cathedral on Monday.

POLITICS: Eggs> Southern Style
SheIIed in South

Henry A. Wallace, Progressive Party
Presidential candidate, started his
Southern tour auspiciously in Vir-
ginia last week with speeches at Nor
folk and Richmond. But he ran into
trouble in North Carolina.
Pelted with raw eggs and overripe
fruit at Burlington, he was unable to
get in even a word. Returning to his
car amid lusty booing, Wallace
grasped a bystander by the arm and
asked: Gam I in American"
"Take your hands off me-" retorted
the man and gave him a slight push.
At Greensboro, his clothes stained
with egg yolk and a shell sticking to
his hair, Wallace cried: 'I don't mind
the eggs, but they would be more USE
full if fed to children"
His sally did not draw a laugh. Wal
lace continued:
"The faces I have seen distorted by
hatred are of people for whom have
in my heart profound compassion, be-
cause most of them have not enough
to eat"
This drew laughter, catcalls and
Bronx cheers.
At High Point, Wallace again was
pelted. In Winston-Salem, he was
booed. A crowd of $500 set up oppos-
ing chants of 'We Want Wallace and
"Down With Wallace"

Atomic Protection
A start toward protecting humans
from radioactivity of atomic bombs or
X-rays was described at the Interna-
tional Congress on Hematology in
Buffalo.
Radiation from atomic bombs or
hospital X-rays can destroy bone mar
row, which produces red and white
blood cells. When the marrow is dam
aged, anemia results.
Experiments have shown that ami
mails, made anemic before exposure to
X-rays or neutronS, have escaped
damage to their bone marrow. They
escaped it even when exposed to ra-
diation doses which probably would
kill a human being. They weren't
made more anemic by the radiation
and they recovered quickly from the
induced anemia.
The induced anemia was caused by
bleeding the animals or giving them
a drug, phenylhydrazine, which .
lures red blood cells.
