SYRACUSE, N. Y. April Is
Shirley Anne Martin said today
her broken statue Of st. Ann no
longer sheds tears" when she
kissed 1t.
The 11-year-old girl reported
early today that no liquid sub
stance had materialized on the
painted face of the plaster statue
since her appearance with the
image on a television program at
7:45 pm. yesterday.
She said that in the intervening
time she had tried repeatedly. but
without success, to bring to the
eyes of the statue what many wit
nesses who had seen previous dem
onstra tions called tears"
Repeatedly, since the girl picked
up the head of the broken statue
after it had been discarded April
2, she had kissed the figurine. after
which, scores of witnesses said. a
watery substance coursed down
the cheeks.
Meantime, the devout. the
curious and the skeptical gathered
in greater numbers today In front
of the Martin house many hoping
for a Good Friday miracle. Some

The child's mother, Mrs. Arthur

included attending, Good Friday

Roman Catholic Church.
Mrs. Martin told a reporter:
I'VE don't claim any miracles.
We don't claim to be healers. It

However, the open house"

Renewed Red Attacks
On Atlantic Alliance
Are Expected in U. n.
ey No Asseeiossa Press

NEW YORK. April l5.-A final
Russian charge Of hypocrisy
flung at the Western powers
wound up last night the first
round of the battle over the North
Atlantic pact in the United Ma
tions Assembly.
Some delegates said they hoped
that finished the fight for this
session Of the Assembly. but others
expressed belief the Russia.s
would find an excuse to attack the
North Atlantic pact again. The
Assembly is expected to run at
least = month longer.
Warren r. Austin. American
chief delegate. told the Assembly
the North Atlantic pact Is not
aggressive; that the United States
'abhors" war and does not want
war with any one.
Waited "a Hours 10 Answer.
Mr.. Austin had waited more
than "a hours through a long
and weary round OF speeches for
chance to answer the initial
blast at the pact launched We'd
nesday by Andrei A. Gromyko
Soviet Deputy Foreign Minister
Mr.. Gromyko waited until Mr..
Austin finished and then was
recognized for a short reply to
the American. He said Mr.. Aus
tins speech concerning the de-
fensive character Of the pact was
thoroughly hypocritical and
false"
Mr.. Gromyko said the truth
about the purposes OF the pact
would be found in speeches by
American political leaders instead
OF by 'pompous phrases about
the struggle for peace and Sc
curity."
He pointed to a recent speech
by Representative Cannon. Demo-
crat Of Missouri. about the need
for a quick attack in the event
of war with Russia. and by
other such statements published
In American newspapers as exam
pies Of purposes of the act.
Mr.. Gromyko said. finally. that
the statements made by Mr.. Aus
tin and by Hector Mcneil. British
minister of state. in the assembly
ARE nothing but empty words"
Mr.. Mcneil challenged Mr..
Gromyko yesterday to file a COM
plant against the North Atlantic
pact il he felt 1t violated the U. N.
charter.
The Assembly approved a long
resolution calling for cooperation
among the big powers and listing
more than 80 courses of action as
procedural subjects not liable to
the veto. The vote was 43 to 6
with Burma and India abstaining.
Russia's disagreement meant that
the proposal would not be carried
out since the Big Five must agree
on it to make it effective.
The Assembly next voted down
a Russian resolution providing for
consultation among the big powers
on the Security Council to work
for smoother operation of the
Council. The final vote on 1t was
40 against, six for and five abb
stentions - Afghanistan. Burma.
Guatemala. India and Pakistan.
Members Of the majority said they
already had approved that idea in
the majority resolution. s
The Assembly adjourned at
lI:17 pm. The u. N. will not have
major meetings until Monday be-
cause of the Easter holidays. The
delegates will resume committee
meetings at Lake Success Monday.

muffs, balloons and handbills.
The campaign to let the rest of

Of the Nations. Capital began yes
terday with distribution of the
leaflets at hotels by young lady
representatives of Eight District
groups favoring suffrage.
Earmuffs Bear Tag.
The free earmuffs, each bearing
a tag, are being passed out during
the parade. The tag says:
I'VE in Washington know how it
feels to be left out in the cold. We
don't want you to thank us for
these earmuffs. Take them. friend.
and welcome!
do us one favor in 1eturn-lend
us your ears. We can't vote here
not for President, not even for oog-
catcher. If you like the earmuffs,
write your Congressman. Tell him
you think people in the District
Of Columbia should be allowed to
1ote-just like people in the rest

Remember us now! Don't let
his go in one ear and out the
ther!"
Balloons Sold by DAv.
The balloons ere being sold by
Washington members uf the Dis
abled American Veterans. with all
profits going to the DAV. The In
augural Committee had refused the
suffrage groups permit to give
away the balloons, on the ground
they would be competing with bal
loon statesmen. Hence the new dis
tribution method was worked out.
The leaflets call attention to the
fact that the District has popula-
ton greater than each of 13 States,
had more men and women in the
armed forces during World War u
than each Of IA States and pays
more Federal taxes than each of
IS States, yet cannot vote.

button includes the Central SUI

Furtwaeng|er OUT
As Chicago Conductor
ey the Assoeiofed Press


CHICAGO, Jan. 20.-The Chicago
Orchestral Association announced
yesterday that DR.. Wilhelm Furt-
waengler, German conductor, will
not be guest conductor of the Chi
cago Symphony Orchestra next fall.
Edward L. Ryerson, association
president, said it would be unfair
ito ask such a distinguished musi-
clan to appear under adverse cir
cumstances." He said the associa-
ton found clear evidence of a well
organized opposition. not only from
certain groups of the public, but
also In musical circles, seeking to
boycott the orchestra in the event
Or. Furtwaengler came to Chicago.
Earlier, DR.. Furtwaengler said at
Geneva, Switzerland, that he had
withdrawn as a prospective guest
conductor after discussing with as
ISOLATION officials the public con-
troversy that arose because ne mao
directed the Berlin State Opera
under the Nazi regime.
Among the artists who protested
the engaging OF DR.: Furtwaengler
to conduct the orchestra for eight
weeks starting next october were
Arturo Toscanini, Lily Pons and
Vladimir Horowitz.
In announcing his withdrawal.
DR.. Furtwaengler said: 1T is in
conceivable that artists should per-
petuate hatred indefinitely while
all the world is longing for peace y
Mr. Ryerson said association trus-
tees had investigated DR.. Furtwaen-
vler,s record In Nazi Germany and
learned that "the combined mill
tary =, authorities Of the United
States, Great Britain, France and
Russia prior to July l, 1947, gave a
decision clearing DR.. Furtwaengler

Deputy Expects 10 Defeat
Kino AbduIIah in Chess
By the As.eeieted Press

SEATTLE, Jan. 20.-Deputy Sher-
III Pat Bliss OF King County thinks
he's about ready to announce a
victory over King Abdullah OF Trans
Jordan-at chess.
The game has been going on Tor
four years, ever since Pat heard the
King was a chess enthusiast and
issued a challenge. The King replied
by accepting and including his first
move.
After 81 moves each, Pat thinks he
has "the King over a barrel now"
Maybe it's because the King, busy
with a war, delegated one OF his
court members, Ali Rhui, to super
wise the game temporarily.
The opponents have never per-
nitted the heat of combat to inter-
fere with a growing friendship. The
King sent Pat set Of beautiful ivory
chessmen.
Pat sent the King some hybrid

House Keeping In
Deplorable Condition

INDIANAPOLIS Asserting
that the nations housekeeping
is in deplorable condition to
day." Chairman Guy George Ga
brielscn Of the Republican Ma
tional committee called upon the
women Of America ito get to
work to correct the situation"
in an address before the Indiana
Federation Of Wcmen's Repuh
llcan Clubs here.
The mothers of the Nation
probably have a greater influence
over the thinking of the genera
ton just reaching maturity than
do the fathers. A nation, after
all, is collection of millions of
homes plus the additional facili
ties of office buildings and rail
roads, automobiles and stores
and factories and all Of the other
things needed to keep the homes
in operation.
The National home, like any
individual homes must be kept in
order. 1t must be operated on a
sound, financial basis meaning.
that spending in excess Of income
for any extended period IS Ger
tain to bring disaster. 1t must
be conducted with due regard
her the rights Of all members Of
the family. A family in which the
mother and father and the chill
dren are in constant disagree
ment one with another or try
ing to gain advantages at the
expense of the others, is not
happy family. The same applies
to a nation.
Any Administration which
seeks to maintain itself in pow.
er by playing off the interests of
one group against another, BY
stirring UP religious and racial
and sectional and economic
, groups one against the other, is
doing a very distinct disservice
to the Nation. We have an AID
ministration today, and | say that
with all seriousness. You all
know that is true.
