Climbing living costs are fore
ing some Americans to break
away from the purchase of some
'luxuries, if the tax collections
for July are any indication of the
trend. Slower sales of jewelry

gage caused retail taxes on these
items to drop ten per cent below
the same month of last year.

night clubs. concerts and the like
dropped off S2,649.0O, although

yielded $1,43O, 900 for the month.

III. S. Girl Wed to Soviet Singer
Moves Out Of Moscow Embassy

sings romantic operatic roles. She
didn't tell the Embassy about it
until she resigned yesterday, saying
she no longer could stand the way
the Americans were treating the
Russians.
United States Ambassador Walter
B. Smith said she was remiss is not
letting the Embassy know of the
marriage until now.
Annabelle-now Mrs. Lapshin-
met Konstantin two years ago when
she first came here as member of
the United States Information Serv-
ice. He had a reputation for fine
baritone voice, and was singing inn
portant roles.
Gradually she became, as she puts
1t. aware of many aspects of Soviet
| life. The Americans, she found
lack understanding of these people.
She, on the other hand, grew to
have "a real understanding of the
country and It's fine people, who are
doing their utmost to make the
world a better place to live in"
And so they were married.
She told the embassy about 1t
yesterday in a polite letter OF
resignation. She had been working
all the time, meanwhile, in her usual
tasks. Her boss was Melville Rug
giles, head of the United States In
formation Service. She worked on
the publication and distribution OF
the Russian language magazine
Amerika.
Ambassador Smith said the regu-
lations required her to inform the
embassy Immediately Of her mar
riage and then resign. =.

been, American informants said, a

Chang Plan 10 Give Up.
Changchun Reported
By the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press
NANKING, Feb. 28.-Responsible
Marking sources said today that the
Chinese high command had decided
to abandon Changchun, the Com
munist- capital of Man
churia, and use it's troops to
strengthen Mukden's faltering de-
fenses.
This plan which could not be
confirmed officially, would include
abandonment of Kirin and Stepping
kai, other important Islands" of
government resistance In Central
Manchuria. This would make $4,000
to. 10000 veteran troops available
for Mukdne.
(How they would get to Muk-
den was not mentioned. Up to
200 snowy miles separate the iso-
lated points. A long and hazard
GUS fighting withdrawal or an
aerial evacuation on an amazing
ly large scale would appear to be
the only alternatives).
The high command" referred to
could only mean Generalissimo
Chang Kai-shek. In the past he
has strongly opposed proposals to
yield any y-of the Manchurian out
posts, regarding possession Of
Changchun In particular as an i'm
portant morale" factor.
Communist destruction of the
Changchun-Mukden railway, how
ever, long ago robbed the capital
of strategic value, and Mukden, Its
miles to the southwest, has lately
slipped into a critical plight.

Nations Seeking Aid
Accused Of Treatinq
u. ). Airines Worst
By The Assoeioted Press


Countries holding out their hands
for aid are the very ones that treat
American airlines worst, Congress
sional report said yesterday.
The report came from a House
Commerce subcommittee. 1t urged
"a more aggressive attitude" of sup
port for United States lines abroad.
The subcommittee studies operations
In % countries and said:
"The United States, in her en-
deavor to furnish no basis whatever
for the oft-reiterated charges of con-
Quoting her foreign affairs on the
basis of dollar diplomacy, has so
conducted her relations with foreign
countries that her left hand has
operated without any help from her
right hand.
"In fact, in those countries that
are receiving the most aid or are
anticipating the receipt of consider
able loans or grants, the American
flag lines are operating under the
most severe handicaps In some cases
they are being bled white through
excessive charges, operating restric-
tions, currency controls, etc. 1t is
time that the United States adopt
a realistic attitude in our relation
ship to other countries.
There has been fragrant disre-
gard of the agreements under which
we transferred numerous (wartime)
airport facilities to foreign nations
For example, excessive charges
for airport services, high taxes on
fuel and airline receipts, difficult
labor laws, exchange restrictions,
failure to maintain properties, all
contribute to onerous operations and
violate the intent of the transfer
agreements"
The subcommittee is headed by
Representative Hall, Republican, of
New York.

unless and until she renounces 1t
formally.
They said they believed it would
take some similar specific action to
make her a Soviet citizen. It is
their understanding she does not
acquire citizenship in Russia auto
matically through marriage.
Reporting to the State Depart
ment, Ambassador Smith said Miss
Bucar had a right to marry whom
she pleased and to stay with the
husband of her choice. But he said
he regrets that he could not "ex-
change her for one of the several
hundred Soviet wives who would
like to join their husbands in Amer
ica."
About a dozen American soldiers
who served in Moscow during the
war have wives in Russia. Mr.. Smith
has been trying to get them out.

Black Yankees
Vastly Improved
By Al Moses

NEW YORK, May II. (ANP)
According to Herbie Georgia
Rose" Taylor, the Black Yankees
are a vastly improved club over
last year. Taylor, who is not
merely a fan but a student OF
baseball, said some good things
about the Yankees after seeing
them open the season against the
Philadelphia Stars May 2.
After seeing the Yanks tangle
with Oscar Charleston's team, Tay-
lor said:
Judging by the spry manner
they cavorted on the ball field to-
day, training at Hot Springs did
the Sender lads no harm at all.
81 think George Grove, ex-In-
diana and Renaissance basketball
star, is one Of basebalrs most i'm
proved players. He has a sureness
that was lacking during most of
1947.
"Griffith looks like he will de-
velop into a real great mounds
man, surely by next year if not
this year. Marvin Barker has a
sweet combination in Brown and
Bankhead, ex-Memphis Red Sox
stars giving locals a new look
around short and second.
bud Barbee by whaling the
pellet is giving the Yanks what
the Y need, a good cleanup hitter.
They look good to me even though
the season has just started. They
surely shape up much superior to
last years squad"

With Mildred
Portrait of Hattie Mcdaniel +,
HOLLYWOOD, May II. CAMP
Academy award winner Hattie
Mcdaniel, outstanding Hollywood
actress, lays the title role in CO.
lumbia's five-a-week "Beulah"
series-and she adds a touch Of
realism to her portrayal by draw
ing upon her own experience in
the kitchen during the rain and
shine" interludes of her early act
ing career.
Like the penniless gourmet who
is hustled from his dessert and
coffee to the kitchen by an irate
headwater, Miss Mcdaniel has had
her moments of pearl diving and
table waiting. She drifted with
great ease from the stage to the
dishpan on more than one occas-
ion during the era of one night
stands. She remembers wildly the
night her road company went
aground in Milwaukee without
funds. She walked from the thea
ter to Sam Picks Suburban Inn,
applied for a job in the kitchen,
and got it. There were other times
too, when she DOTTED her makeup
suddenly and switched from the
atrical costume to kitchen apron
for a real life role as a cook or
maid.
But Hattie's experiences as a
kitchen worker ended at Sam
Picks place. One night a jovial
crowd of late corners stormed into
Sam's-and they wer just what
the doctor ordered to keep the res
teauranteur out of the red for
that week. But, alas, the late din
ers finally demanded entertain
notwithstanding to leave If
none was forthcoming. Pick ush-
cred Hattie Mcdaniel out of the
kitchen and installed her on the
dance floor with a plea that she
do something to halt the impend-
ing exodus of his benefactors.
The blues of working in Sam
Picks pot and pan department was
eloquently reflected in Hattie's
impromptu singing of the "St
Louis Blues" Encore followed en-,
core. After a half dozen songs,
Sam Pick signed her on the spo'
as the new headliner Of the Sub
urban Inn floor show, and she re
manned there for three years.
Hattie Mcdaniel was born il
Wichita, Kan. While still a babe
her parents mover to Denve.
where Hattie attended elemen
tary and high school. When sh'
was Is years of age she won
school medal for her eloquent an
moving recital of Convict Joe.'
This success probably decided he
to pursue a career in the enter
tainment field, and in less thar
