THE BARKLEYS:

The "I dos were said, Quips

vice-President Alben W. Barley
of Kentucky and Mrs. Carleton S.
Hadley, of st. Louis, were joined
in holy wedlock.
1T was a May and December ro-
nance that had caught the fancy

ing activities were as much a part
of the nations front-page news as
were arguments over what Russia
was doing with the atomic bomb

cally at II than is the average

that fact. His continual good humor'
his courtly air, his genuine gen
tlemanliness," all counted high in
his favor in any prediction as to
how this marriage would fare.

US. PRESTIGE:
Suffers in Chino

The prestige of the United States
was suffering in China and wasn't
gaining any ground elsewhere as a
result of the fence-sitting policy on
what to do about us. consul gen.
eral Angus Ward, a prisoner of
the Chinese Communists. Ward and
four consular attaches were being
held incommunicado in Mukden on
charges they beat up a Chinese
workman in the consulate some
weeks ago.
NO ONE wanted war and there
was no intention of jingoism in
charges Of us. indifference to
Wards plight and its own prestige
that were being hurled generally.
1t just looked bad for the most
powerful nation in the world-al-
ready up to the shoulders in a pres
sure war with Russia-to let Rus
sian-dominated Chinese hold a top
consular official.
AS even a schoolboy knows,
face" or prestige, is a great
thing in the oriental mind, and if
the US. planned ever to do any
thing about recovering China from
the Communists, a sustained hands
off policy in the Ward incident
wouldn't aid the effort.

EISLER:
Better Stuy Put

Gerhart Eisler, tn balding,
chunky little Communist who fled
the US. aboard the Polish-owned
ship Batory while on bail on a con.
tempt-of-congress charge, had bet.
ter stay put in the Russian zone
of Germany.
THE UNITED STATES supreme
court emphasized that advice when
it rejected Eisler's appeal, a ruling
which meant Eisler faced a 81, 900
fine and possible Imprisonment if
he returned to America. Eisler
had attracted widespread notoriety
because of reports that he was the
Number One Communist in Amer
lea.
While on bail, Eisler left America
by slowing away on the Batory. He
went first to England, which re-
fused to hold him for US. action,
and then to Russian-held Germany.
Recently he was named chief of
the newly-formed Soviet zone in
formation ministry.
THE CASE against Eisler arose
when he refused to be sworn as a
witness before the house un-Amer-
lean activities committee.

TRANSPORT:
Policy Bourd Asked

A move to establish 2 centra
policy board to integrate and su
pervise United States programs
covering air, water, rails and high
ways was to be urged upon Presi
dent Truman. Charles Sawyer
commerce secretary, was the cabi
net member who would breach the
matter to the President.
According to proponents Of the
move, it would save the taxpayers
a big part Of the is billion dollars
now being spent by the individual
agencies having to do with various
forms of transportation.
THE REPORT on the matter,
which is to go to the President, may
call for studies as to whether the
government should impose user
charges on the air and trucking
lines, shipping firms and railroads
which benefit from federal OUTLAWS
on highways, airports, harbor work
and other facilities.
1t was said the commerce secre-
tary's report was now in the rough
draft stage after talks with all agen-
cies concerned.
According to supporters Of the
move, it was designed only to effect
an efficient national transportation
system, with high emphasis on mil
itary usefulness-at lowest possible
costs in federal OUTLAWS.
HOWEVER, most Americans and
certainly the transportation com
panies would see quite a great deal
more in the proposal, especially in
the mention of a users charge"
plan.
To tax the transportation agencies
for use of highways, air or sea lanes,
would mean nothing more than in
creased cost to patrons Of these
agencies, which would mean added
tax, but under another name. With
railroads already granted passen-
ger fare rates over large sections
of the country. with air lines scream
ing for subsidies and with the mer-
chant marine requiring subsidy if it
is to remain in action, the users
charge" proposal was certain to
meet with monumental opposition.
The people, at long last, were be-
coming aware of the growing hypoc-
risy in federal promises of better
service and cheaper costs, by add
ing to the price of this OF that COM
modify OF service vital to the peo-
pie.

Hearing Aid Battery
Found to Hold Power
Best if Refrigerated

NEW YORK. - Unlike bananas,
hearing aid batteries should be
kept in the refrigerator. That is
the caution from one of the coun-
try's biggest dry cell battery max,
ers.
Winter or summer, when not in
use, surplus dry cell "A" batteries
for hearing aids will last longer
when kept at about the As degree
fahrenheit temperature of the av-
erage refrigerator, according to
w. S. Allen, general manager, Elec-
trical Division, Olin Industries, Inc.
AS an added precaution, the bat
teries should be kept in a tightly
sealed glass container which will
reduce humidity and also prevent
damage to the batteries by spilling
anything on them in the refriger-
ator.
Economy-minded users Of hear
ing aids customarily keep enough
batteries on hand to rotate them in
use, but unless these extra bat
teries are kept in a cool, dry place,
they are likely to deteriorate, Allen
warned, because the chemicals in
a battery are harmed by heat.
Owing to the wide variety Of
hearing aids and the varied lengths
of time which Individual hearing
aid owners use them, it is some
what difficult to give more than
rule of thumb advice on hearing
aid "a" battery use and rotation.
Generally it is a good idea to let
a battery rest from two to three
times longer than it is used. While
a dry cell battery is resting" it
has the power to ~recuperate. 1t does
not, however, recuperate to the ex-
tent of its original power.
The number of surplus batteries
kept on hand is determined by the
amount of use given a hearing aid.
A full days use is the maximum for
any "a" battery to be used with
out rotation. 1t is a convenience in
rotating batteries to number them
and use them in order.

TAXATION:
Cut Demanded

One figure in government, an
other important figure, once in,
now out, joined coincidentally
enough in a demand for a cut in
| federal spending and taxation.
THE GOVERNMENT FIGURE,
| Virginia's Democratic Sen. Harry
Byrd, declared in Washington that
federal spending could be cut as
much as 10 billion dollars without
impairing government functions.
In Biloxi, Miss, James F.
Byrnes, former US. senator and
one-time secretary Of state, sharp
~ criticized administration spend
ing and called for a cut in federal
taxes and public debt.
BYRD INSISTED that the spend
ing slash he urged could be brought
about by eliminating recent in
creases in more than 80 budget
items;" a two billion dollar cut in
"nonessential and deferable spend
ing through prompt and effective
unification of the armed services.
Byrnes declared the nations
real trouble is debt and taxes.
We cannot cure it by more debt
and more taxes. We should devote
to cutting expenditures some of the
thought we are devoting to taxing
and borrowing"
These views would endear Meth.

CHINA:
A New Irv2

The situation in China appeared
to be thoroughly static, although
minor maneuvers would confuse
the casual observer. Chinese Reds
seemed easily in the saddle and
likely to remain there barring some
militant action from the West-a
wholly improbable occurrence.
THE UNITED STATES and the
United Nations had asked 80 coun-
tries to join in a demand on Chi
nese Communists that US. Consul
Angus Ward be freed. and those
nations agreed. But there was little
said about what would be done If
the Reds declined to free the us.
consular official.
In another move. the ailing Ii
Tsung-jen, acting president of the
practically defunct Nationalist re-
gime since Chang Kai-shek ire
tired" some months ago, might at
tempt to form a third Chinese gov
eminent, independent of both the
Reds and Chang. Informed quar-
tiers in Hong Kong speculated to
some extent on the possibility Of
such a maneuver.
FOREIGN OBSERVERS arriv-
ing in Hong Kong argued that it
was fair speculation that Ii might
attempt to form an anti-Commu-
mist, anti-Chiang organization and
go to the United States to seek SUBJ
stantial material aid. According to
these sources, Ii was expected to
go to Washington soon to bolster
the aid pleas of his personal n
tact man, Kan Chieh-hou, who has
been there several months.
But wouldn't Ii be whistling up
a drain pipe in any effort to involve
American cash in a China venture
which for all practical purposes
has been written off the books?
If Chang, with the Nationalist
government behind him and sup
ported by extensive US. funds and
arms, couldn't stem the Red tide,
now could Ii believe he could con-
vince the us. that he could do it,
especially since he'd have to split
Chiang's forces and followers to
get any followers of his own?
