Tip To Truman-Friends have sent the White House tn efollowing :: Once there lived Mohammedan village philosopher, Nastradin Hot ga, whose wise sayings have become a by-wCrd in the Middle East among Christians, Mohammedans and Jews. When Nastradin was once invited to deliver the Friday evening prayer before the Sultan s representative, he mounted the min- aret, raised his arms toward heav- en, and said: "Almight Allah, I pray help this humble servant of yours to live according to Thy law, and guide his footsteps in the path of righteousness. Above all O Allah, I pray protect me from my friends"
 Worshippers later inquired of Nastradin why he did not ask Allah to protect him from his ell. emies. as was the usual custom in Mohammedan prayers Nastradin replied: T can protect myself from my enemies. but only Allah can protect me from my friends"

OF Excessive Use Of
Armory for Meetings

Members of the Armory Board
yesterday heard reports reaching
the House District Committee that
increased use of the National
Guard Armory for conventions and
other civilian activities is inter-
fering with use of the building for
training troops.
The board members, it was
learned, were told of the reports
after a two-hour discussion with
Chairman Mcmillan of the COM
mittee and Representative league,
Democrat. Of Texas, a member.
The legislators agreed, however,
that the matter will be left to the
Armory Board to adjust.
The board repeatedly was given
the hint that excessive use of the
structure for conventions and
other civilian activities is a viola
ton of the law, setting up civilian
control. Brig. Gen. William H.
Abendroth, chief pf the District
National Guard, who also was
present, wants to make sure the
Armory will be available for the
periods necessary to train the
troops that drill there. He has
indicated approval of its use for
civilian activity when it will not
interfere with Guard training.
Representative league is un-
derstood to have told those at the
conference he feels the District
could save much of the present

FOREST SERVICE
 COMMENDED, NO
 FATAL ACCIDENTS
Past Year First Fatality. Free Twelve Months
 Period on Record

Secretary of Agriculture Charles F. Grammar recently commended the Forest Service for completing on July 10, full year without a fatal accident, according to word received from the US. Department of Agriculture at washington. This represents the first fatality-free year on Forest Service records and is largely attributed to the inten- sive safety campaign carried on by the agency since l946.
 The Secretary pointed out that this record is an outstanding achievement, considering the occu- pational risks inherent in various Forest Service johs. Foremost i'll high-hazard work is the fighting of forest fires which in the past has claimed at least one life an- nually. During the year just end ing Forest Service fire fighters suppressed approximately 73Oo Elazes. Of special interest because of the spectacular additional risk involved is the smokejumper branch of the fire fighting force which has not had a fatality since its founo- ing ten years ago. This group made 57O jumps to 94 fires in the remote mountainous country of the WesS last year.
 Construction and maintenance jobs too have made an annual lew on human lives. Using high explosives and heavy equipment such as bulldozers and "cats, often on steep mountainsides, For est Service personnel during the wear worked on 10000 miles of roads, 10000 bridges, 100 landing fields, and 236 winter sports areas. In addition, 124,000 miles of trails, 63 ,0O0 miles of telephone lines, and IS 500 buildings were maintained. The Alaska Region, of the For est Service recently received a let ter of congratulation from Chief Lyle F. Watts complimenting them Ion completing twelve months with out a single lost-time injury. It IS the only Region of the Forest Serv- ice so far to reach this distinction. Most of the Forest Service units in Alaska have not had lost-time accident since 1947, the records being held by the Marine Station at Ketchikan and the Prince Wll- liam Sound Division at Cordova, with no lost time accidents reported since December 1914 and Novem- Der 1945 respectively.

GREER CARSON IN TIGHTS IN MOVIE,
 CAPITOL THEATRE

While feminine America, for the most part, has heightened it's skirts, Greer Carson is delighted with her current opportunity to prove-ahem that she has legs.
 Considering her past cinematic roles highlighted by bustles, crino- lines and ankle-lengths, Miss Gar sons enthusiasm for her latest picture, Julia Misbehaves," now ceing shown at the Capitol The atre, is understandable. In it she takes a bubble bath, performs on trapeze-and wears sparkling silver tights!
 The former Mrs. Miniver, Mrs. Chips, Mrs Parkington, Madame Curie is all for it as, she says, "es- sential to the plot"
 In Julia Misbehaves," Miss Gar son portrays a Cockney music hall entertainer whose romances, and those of her daughter, bring her in contact with English nobility Walter Pidgeon co-Stars for the fifth time, and the stellar cast in cludes Peter Lawford, Elizabeth Taylor, Cesar Romero, Lucille Wat son, Nigel Bruce, Mary Roland and Reginald Owen.
