There are a lot of old thrown
out kings in Lisbon, too.
Half Of the paWnshops have
used crowns in the window, and
ermine earmufs are a dime
dozen.
Carol and Lupescu are here,
Cumming it up again, despite the
rumors of their divorce suit. They
have started to build a little vine
covered mansion in fashionable
suburb, where Carol hopes to grow
roses.
Carols son. Michael, while he
doesn't live here. is in and out so
often that he can't get an out-of-

club. but must pay full dues.
Another ex-king to be seen in
the stores shopping for bargains is
Humbert of Italy.
Between discarded kings and
Ipretenders there is scarcely room
for the people in Lisbon.
AS I said before. to be in the
swim one has to be pretender to
something. You can't get de-
cent seat on the streetcar unless
you are one. So I have taken
care of that little matter. I have
made out a list of things I am
pretender to, and they are right
at my tongues tip. No one is
going to catch me short.

Here's my list, and they are
working beautifully:
/. Pretender to the Professor of
Romance Languages of the Inter-

8. Pretender to the head care
taker of Central Park.
4. Pretender of the assistant
lacrosse coach at the University
of Alaska.
S. Pretender to the King Of the
United States. ''''1
Be announced by any Of those
titles in Portuguese, and you'll
be surprised how impressive 1t
sounds.
The favorite hangout for the
pretenders and ex-kings is the

U. $. Says Danube River Control Is Invalid

WASHINGTON, (P)-The U. s. served notice on Russia and five Soviet bloc states yesterday that it considers invalid their new com mission to control shipping on the Danube River.
 The commission was set up Nov. II at Galatz, ROmania, it replaced control commission dating back to 1921 on which five Western na- tiOnS were represented.
 An American note yesterday said that the new arrangement, coupled with the device of Soviet controlled joint shipping compan- ies on the river, is clearly design ed to enable the Soviet Union to maintain a monopoly of Danubian commerce"
 The Soviet blco commission, it was charged, violates the peace treaties signed with Bulgaria, Hungary and Romania and 'vio- lateS the concept of international waterways which has been recog- nized in Europe for more than 13O years"

Air Regulations Deferred Until December |

WASHINGTON, (P)-AmoS E.. Heacock of Seattle said last night the civil aeronautics administra- tion has deferred until Dec. 1 the application of new regulations governing the gross weight of some types of planes carrying both freight and passengers.
 Heacock, president of the Inde- pendent Air Carriers Conference of America, has contended that the regulations would ground nearly all non-scheduled lines fly ing cargo into Alaska.
 The curbs on gross loads of GAG planes, originally announced by the CAA on Nov. 1, had been scheduled to take effect Nov. l6.
 Heacock said he and other in trested persons, at a conference with CAA and CAB officials Mon day, also obtained an interpreta- ton of the ruling which will per init full payload operations of C-46's on most Alaskan and U. $. routes after Dec. l."
 Heacock said a previous inter pretaion would have cut the gross loads of GAGS carrying both car go and passengers from l0,5OO pounds to from 5000 to 5000 pounds.
 He said that restriction would have made continued operation by nine carriers serving Alaska "eco- nomically impracticable."
 No scheduled airlines are now using GAG planes in passenger operations, he said.
 Heacock said Harold A. Jones, a member of the CAA, planned to leave here yesterday for Seattle and thence on to Alaska to study

Lewis Told Get Busy And Settle Strike---Or Else''

WASHINGTON, (P) - John L. Lewis was confronted yesterday with a virtual ultimatum to win a quick coal peace or face fast White House action.
 The mediation service said Lewis is being given "A to 48 hours get something stirring tow ard a coal contract. It implied that there would be action by Presi- dent Truman this week if Lewis does not.
 Officials seemed to believe MT. Truman would invoke the Taft Hartley act although the Presi- dent dislikes that law.
 Use of a special finding board outside Hartley, as was done in the steel dispute, has been considered but that idea appeared to have little support.
 The White House evidently was determined to stop a new strike on Dec. 1, the expiration date of a truce ordered by Lewis last week to end a 52-day strike.
 Under Taft-Hartley, MT. Tru- man could order the justice de- partment to seek a court injunc- ton barring a new strike for 30 days.
 Lewis slashed the staff of his once-rich welfare and pension fund as operators remained cool to his offer to talk about building up the fund again.
 WASHINGTON, (F) - Federal mediation chief Cyrus s. Ching to- day turned the deadlocked coal dispute over to the White House for action.
 Ching reported to John R. Steel manfi President Truman's assist ant, that further attmepts to get union leader John L. Lewis and coal operators into an agreement seemed useless.
 After seeing Steelman at the White House he told reporters:
 "It is our considered judgment that further mediation at this time would be fruitless."
 Ching said he was filing a writ ten report covering the coal case with President Truman this after noon.

submitted to serious chest OPERA
ton was given only an even
chance to live. But today, skilled
anesthetists have helped cut the
risk In chest cases to five per cent
or less; and the surgeon, freed
from the pressure of an unreason-
able time limit, now can take as
long as four and five hours from
the first incisiOn to the last stitch.
THE main reason why produc-
ing Inconsistencies for surgery
cannot safely be relegated to an
inexperienced young intern be-
comes obvious when you know
about the four stages of anesthesia.
Say an inhalation anesthetic is
best for your case. The first stage,
a moment or so after the mask
goes on, is sluggish, seminumbed
feeling, as if you've had one too
many dry Martins.
"The second stage is delirium,
or what old-time practitioners call
the 'iery-hoop' stage. You may be
restless, excited, or even bolster
GUS, and you may have irrational
dreams.
"The third stage is called sur
gical Sleep after which the opera
tion can begin. The fourth stage,
never used in surgery, stops your
breathing and cuts off the oxygen
your body needs.
During the operation the anes-
thetist regulates the gas so that
you never enter the perilous
fourth stage, or move back into
the second where you might shift
about on the table and hinder the
surgeons work or even injure
yourself on his instruments.
despite popular misconception,
there are only about five COM
monly-used drugs: Ether, nitrous
oxide, cyclopropane, sodium PEN
tothal and spinal injection. Addi-
tiOnally, there are several potent
opiates you many get before and
after the operation.
Developments of the past
twenty years in new techniques
and new agents have far outpaced
the medical facilities for training
specialists in their use. Less than
one-fifth of Americas accredited
medical schools offer courses in
unsatisfactory to undergraduates.
The result is that we are short of
5000 doctors who meet the high
standards set by the American
Board of Anesthesiology. Today,
not many more than 400 anesthe-
fists have been certified by the
Board, and fewer than 200 hospi-
tails have approved residences in
| anestheSiology."

%, and O'Hara also is general
manager there. When the South
ern Maryland track is thrown open
to the public for the fall meet,
visitors will see new plant built
from top to bottom at an estimated
outlay of a half million dollars.
The cost of this new racing setup
will be more than the money, in
vested to start Laurel in 1911,
Havre de Grace in 1912 or Bowie
in 1914. And the same practically
can apply to Pimlico nearly 80
years ago.
Although the fact never has been
stressed, it was Bowie, under Joe
Farrell, to those who know the in
side, that was responsible for the
Maryland Racing Commission
granting the eighth race to the
Maryland associations in the
spring of 1941. C,Gster F. Hook
ley then was chairman of the COM
mission.
The State of Maryland has been
rewarded handsomely through the
extra race in revenue to the extent
of two million dollars or more
since then. Between 1941 and 1916
according to the amount of money
the State received two per cent on
the money wagered and during the
last two years, four per cent. The
States share from this extra race
will total about 100000 annually,
being wagereo now.

opened the Eastern turf season
on March %. is called one of the
most versatile race track managers
in the country. This year, by the
way, was the 35th anniversary
of the opening of the Prince Geor-
ge's County plant. Prior to acting
as General Manager Joseph A.
Farrell's representative in 1916
and 1947, when the latter was ill,
O'Hara became associated with the
sport early in the 20's in the pari
mutuel department.
In the intervening years between
1920 and 1945, O'Hara was pari-
mutuel executive employed by race
tracks In Canada, Cuba, Aqua
Caliente and Mexico City, and by
practically all the turf associations
in the United States, with the pos.
