Unlike many of radios women
stars, she is not so obsessed by her
own career that an absent-minded
look comes into her eyes whenever
anything else Is mentioned. Per-
haps it is that warm, human quality
that makes her the most listened
to woman on the air.
When selecting 1.-THE Ten Out
standing Voices in the World" the
National Academy Of Vocal Arts
named Ben Grauer's as the "Most
Authoritative" and Dan Seymour
as the "Friendliest," because Of
its warmth and complete natural
ness"
Production halted momentarily
when Jean Dean walked onto the
"Angels in Disguise" set at Mono
gram for her featured role in this
latest of the Bowery Boys series.
Leo Gorcey, Huntz Hall and the
crew could hardly take their eyes
off the gorgeous red-head, who was
the original Varga girl model.
Formerly under contract at MGM,
she plays the feminine lead in
"Angels."
Realizing during their travels
that the traffic situation is becom-
ing worse everywhere, the March
of Time editors decided to do some
thing about it. They consulted ex-
perts, got solutions and recon-
mendations and "Stop-Heavy Traf-
fic" is the result. It shows how bad
traffic can be, and the methods
used by some towns to work out
the problem.

Not Opposed 10 Canadian Ships Carrying Passeng-
 ers-Freight Objection

SEATTLE, June 14-lR-Alaska Steamship Company is not opposed to legislation that would permit Canadian ships to carry passengers between Haines, Skagway and other Southeast Alaska ports until June 30, 1850, officials said Monday.
 But, declared F. A. Zeusler Executive Assistant to G. w. Skin- ner, Company President. the line is altogether opposed to granting the additional privilege ot allowing Canadian vessels to carry freight between such ports"
 zeusler, in letter to Edwin c Johnson, Chairman of the Senate interstate and Foreign Commerce Committee, explained the com pany's position. zeusler said:
 We feel that any action which would tend to weaken the position of the American Merchant Marine in deference to foreign shipping would be a serious lapse of long ard well esta.lished policy of the United States to promote and pro- tect it's steamship facilities"
 Revision of the bill CHR. 263D tc limit Canadian ships to pas .sengers only between Alaska ports was recommended by the Alaska line.
 Alaska Steamship Company hopes to have sufficient ships tc handle the complete traffic b, June 30, 1850. Zeusler said.
 Meanwhile, there was no wore from Washington, DC, concerning possible revival of the Alaska h. terim Shipping plan. The ship line has urged reestablishment of that program under which ships woulc be provided by the Maritime Com mission at charter rates of s1 a year with marine insurance paid by the commission.
 After an Alaska visit to Juneau last spring, Skinner announced that Alaska Gov. Ernest Grueniry and other Territory officials hac agreed that restoration of some kind of interim program was needed for continued water trans portation.

 Divided Germany
(By The Associated Press)

Noy llt flccOL4RtC0 ACooJ
 The Foreign Ministers conference in Paris was reported today to be working out a truce on Berlin and setting up machinery for East-West trade in divided Germany.
 The conference is expected to wind up this week, probably Thurs day. It has been unable to agree on any plan for the re-unification of Germany.

 There IS expectancy the delegates will reach agreement on an Aus trian peace treaty. They also hope to work out limited commercial accord for Germany. It would fix an exchange rate for the West mark and the Soviet East mark and assure Western Powers of transportation access to Berlin.
 It is a Tive and let live policy The major problems unification of Germany and a German peace treaty-will be left to group of deputy ministers to study. They will keep the issues alive and provide a means of contact until another Foreign Ministers conference is called, probably in New York in the fall.

 ings in Congress
By JACK RUTLEDGE

WASHINGTON, June IA - R = The Senate today picked up de- bate on the labor bill where it left off Friday-with a long talk by Senator Humphrey D-Minn).
 Humphrey had talked for four and half hours-but was just half through his speech, he said when the Senate adjourned for the weekend.
 Yesterday the upper chamcer took time off from the labor de- hate to ratify the International Wheat Agreement.
 EXPLOSIVE ISSUE
 Today is shifted back to the lator program, highly explosive issue in which the administration is trying to repeal the Taft Hartley Act, replace it with one more favorable to unions. Opponents want to either retain the T-H law or substitute one much like it.
 A major controversy has heen over how to handle strikes that inn peril the national welfare. The administration measure proposes nc out t-and-out curb. Several sugges- tions have been advanced.
 Today Senator Morse R-Ore) offered compromise plan which specifically bans use of court in- functions to halt strikes, (autho- rized by the T-H bilD but permits government seizure of plants under certain conditions.
 MILITARY PAY BILL
 The House took up a new econo- my-size military pay raise bill which even opponents concede has chance to pass
 The new till would give more money to almost everybody in uni form. But it would not give the high brass such stiff percentage raises as were in the rejected bill
 The overall cost would hike military pay around s3o4,0Qo000 a year compared with s406,0oO, ,0ol under the original measure, which was defeated because 1t was toe costly.

EISENHOWER HITS OUT ON
 TRUMAN PLAN
Opposes F e ederaI Aid 10 Education, One of Presi-
 denis "Musf' Bills
By JACK BELL

WASHINGTON, June l4.-R- Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower appear ed today to have gone long way toward torpedoing one of President Trumans must" bills before Con- gress-Federal Aid to Education.
 A critical letter hy the General, now President of Columbia Univer- sity and acting chairman of the Military Chiefs of Staff, plunged school aid advocates into gloom. It started talk among some lawmakers about the possibility that Eisenhow- CT intends to make his political weight felt.
 In letter to, Rep. Gwinn H- NY), Eisenhower opposed federal school aid grants to all of the states, a proposal already approved by the Senate and now pending in a House Labor subcommittee
 He said he favors helping only states that can't raise enough tax es to support high level of edu- cation and then only under formu- las that would permit no. abuse, no direct interference of the federal authority in education processes and no opportunity to expand the flow of federal money into areas where need could not be clearly demons trated.'
 Dangerous Form
 Some lawmakers thought Eisen- hover paralleled Republican doc Urine when he went on to assert that "the army Of -persons~who urge greater and greater centralization of authority and greater and greater dependence upon the federal treas ury are really more dangerous to our form of government than any external threat that can possibly be arrayed against us"
 Those views didn't seem to track with the policies of some of the leaders of the. organization Amerl- cans for Democratic Action (ADA) who tried so vigorously-and failed last year to get the General into the race for the Democratic Presi- dential nomination.
 In New Lineup
 Eisenhower thus lined mp against a bill that has the support of both President Truman and Senator Taft (R-Ohio). In this instance, he put himself in the same political camp with Senator Wherry of Me- braska, the COP floor leader, and House minority leader Martin of Massachusetts.
 The House Labor committee, al- ready snarled up with labor, mini- mum wage and fair employment practice bills, seemed likely to give Eisenhower's view more than ordin- ary weight
 The circumstances were such as to lend some credence to talk that he may be doing little advance testing of his 1852 temperatures, although Eisenhower as president of the country's biggest teacher producing university was in his own field when he talked about educa- tion
 As top Republican on a House Labor subcommittee, Gwinn wrote for Eisenhower's views.
 Eisenhower replied that if Gwinn thought the committee wanted his simple views" he could put the re- ply in the record.
 This in itself was a departure from the no-comment attitude the General has taken with regard to most issues that have become involved in politics, as the aid to education proposal has.

most appreciated, but, alas, failed
to cover the field adequately.
In fact, it was covering the field
which got us into trouble the first

please include detailed informa-
ton (preferably with maps and

vital subjects as this:
How one with 20 minutes to get
