TRUMAN:
Way Ahead

President Harry Truman was still
battling vigorously for his domestic
program in congress. With his usual
expansive attack on critics, he
charged present detractors with
being "160 years behind the times"
NEVERTHELESS, the President
was making strategic approach to
the congressional races next year
in drive for women recruits to
the Democratic party.
In a White House radio address,
beamed at the women of the nation,
Mr.. Truman pointed to certain
people" who denounce his fair
deal" policies as alien or danger
GUS.
THEY'RE NOTHING of the kind,
declared the President. In fact, he
asserted, "Our program consists of
measures which have come up
from the grassroots. Our program
is as American as the soil we walk
on. It is a program unshakably
founded on the principle that the
power of the government should be
used to promote the general well
fare"
Dissidents might 60 along with
such items Of the program as pub
lie housing and expanded social
security benefits-but on the SUBJ
jects of farm price supports. as
advocated by the administration,
and socialized medicine, there
would be some arguments about
these being of "grassroots" origin.
TOSSING A BOUQUET to wom-
ans intelligence, the President de-
clared that women are not misled
by political slogans, added: "They
look beneath the labels to see the
facts"

ROCKETS:
Far orgets

Just before the end of World War
II, the Germans reported expert
menting with rockets that could
span oceans. Now, according to
information emanating from the
Soviet zone of Berlin, German
scientists are producing such rock
cts for the Russians.
The informants, who were said
to have access to the offices of the
Soviet-packed east German police,
said the mammoth underground
munitions plant at Peenemuende on
the Baltic coast was turning out
rockets at full speed.
Allied intelligence officers con-
ceded they knew of certain ac-
tivity" at Peenemuende, but de-
clined to elaborate. One of them ex-
planned:
"If Russia is making munitions
in Germany, it's high level mat
ter and not for discussion here"

Ghost Story

It was a peculiar thing, that
dream. Every night the owner Of
shoe store dreamed that he
walked along a street he had never
been on before and saw a store
located in a perfectly ideal spot.
Customers hurried in and out,
spending money with free and
easy hands. But the dream always
ended just before he, himself,
could get in to see if he could pur-
chase it. And the devil of it was
that the proprietor always looked
out of the dream as if he were not
only willing but anxious to sell the
store to the shoe-shop owner.
One afternoon, while visiting a
strange city on business, the man
found himself walking on the street
of his dreams. His eyes wide with
disbelief, he looked around for the
store of his dreams. There it was!
Even to the same familiar face of
the proprietor. He saw that the
proprietor was just closing the
doors so he rushed over.
"Quick," he painted, chow much
do you want for the store?"
The proprietor shook his head
sadly. 81 wouldn't advise you to
buy it," he warned.
"Why not?" the anxious man
demanded.
"It's haunted" was the reply.
Haunted? By Whom?" wheezed
the man in desperation.
"You," was the soft reply as the
door snapped shut in his face.

AMERICA:
The Big Story

The Advertising Council, Inc. ma,
just issued its revised booklet, 9Th.
Miracle of America" which tells
why Americans live better. how
machines make jobs and why free
dom and security go together
THE BOOKLET should be pre-
scribed reading for that fast-grow
ing element among the peoples Of
flclals which seems to think every
one should apologize for America
rather than be proud of it.
Approved by representatives OF
both labor and management. 1.-The
Miracle of America" tells in inter.
esting, readable prose why Amer.
lea is great and why every Ameri.
can should be proud of his country.
In the booklet the mythical
Uncle Sam asks questions about
America which might be posed by
any typical American family.
EXCERPT: Freedom and secu.
rity 60 together" Uncle Sam as
serted. "Men follow two great i'm
pulses-to be politically free and to
be economically secure. In Amer.
lea we have won freedom and we
are winning economic security
Dictators promise security if the
people will give up their freedom
But experience shows that free
dom and economic security must
grow together. The history of the
United States proves it."

Hint To The Wise

To economize, a young doctor
and a young dentist who had ad-
joining offices decided to hire one
nurse who would work for both of
them. Unfortunately both fell in
love with her.
The dentist was called away sud-
denly and left a note for the nurse.
The note explained that he would
be gone for six days and with the
note were six apples.

EFFECTIVE KILLER
Navy Discovers Potent Remedy for Colds

clans have expressed a conviction
that the common cold, like the
poor. will always be with US.
The navy's cold-killer has been
named "Corcidin," derived from
"coryza," meaning the common
cold, and "cide," to kill. The pill
must be taken at the first sign of
a cold to insure its maximum eff
cheney. That It was discovered &C.
cidentAl1y is beside the point.

Parting was such sweet sor-
row for John M. Crawford and

He kept the five monkeys in his

declaring he was violating the
city's sanitary code.

TITO:
Get Out!

Yugoslavia's Marshal Tito Or
dered nine Hungarian diplomats
expelled and accused Russia and
her Cominform satellites of "rat-
Ting their arms" along the Yugo-
slav border.
HE STATED that his Cominform
enemies were digging trenches in
Hungary and Romania."
Apparently, the fiery dictator of
Yugoslavia was not frightened, still
ready to wage war with Moscow,
verbally or otherwise. "We will
permit no one to impose their will
upon u.s." he thundered.
Despite the dramatic atmosphere
surrounding expulsion of the Hun
garians, Tito's action was a retalia-
tory one, since it followed within
"a hours a similar action against
10 members of the Yugoslav lega-
ton in Budapest.
TITO CLAIMED the Russians
were plotting to stage a revolution
in Yugoslavia in order to supplant
his government with a regime SER
vile to Moscow.
Whether or not the Russians had
the atomic bomb, as has been re-
ported, Tito didn't seem to be any
less disposed to quarrel with the
Kremlin.

Poor Listener

The irate wife had just finished

"And don't you argue with me,

"Render unto Caesar the things

line that stuck in the mind of Pastor

Temple in Charleston, W. Va. Con-

THE BOMB:
Do Reds Have Ii?

Does Russia really have the
atomic bomb?
President Harry Truman said
they did; and for once, there was
no presidential contradiction when
Colurnnist Drew Pearson said they
did.
But whether they have it or not,
the Truman announcement stirred
up a nest of jitters everywhere.
DEFENSE CHIEFS backed up
for a new look at the world situa-
tion. Congress reacted as might
have been expected. The arms-to-
Europe program hailed the an
nouncement as added proof of the
correctness of their stand. Other
congressman blamed laxity over
the past few years in our state de-
partment and defense setup for
Russia's having the bomb now
# she does have it.
A noted atomic scientist declared
that for Russia to contend it had
the bomb in 1947 was fantastic, that
the date was lone pulled out of a
hat" But he said the Soviets might
well have the weapon
Most tangible result in congress
of the Presidents statement that
there had been an "atomic ex-
plosion" inside Soviet Russia was
agreement by house and senate
conferees on the 1.33 billion-dollar
appropriation for arms to Europe.
The legislators got together very
quickly on the view that to cut the
appropriations, as had been first
planned, would be an unwise move.
IN THE UNITED NATIONS. Brit
aims foreign secretary, Ernest
Bevin, lashed out with a furious
trade against the Russians, charg-
ing them with stalling efforts to
control atomic energy. Like Russia,
Bevin said, England wants the
atomic bomb banned, but the
British want effective control first.
Skeptics of the idea that the Reds
have the bomb were asking why
Russia wanted to outlaw such a
potent weapon, if she really had it
or did she think the western
world suckers enough to outlaw and
foreswear use of the bomb and thus
give the edge to any ethics-lacking
nation who might have the bomb
and would drop it without warning?

of lighted Christmas decorations
near the intersection. Mr.. Hardy
charged with colliding, posted $25
at the Twelfth Precinct and
elected to forfeit. He told police
he skidded into the intersection.
