NEW YORK, Mar. 11.-Demand

day and lifted the market out of
an early rut.

from fractions to around point

on the sleepy side in opening deal
ings, gathered speed as quotations
were marked up. Turnover for the
two-hour session reached a rate
of aound 100000 shares.
Brokers saw no particular rea-
son for the stepped-up buying in
terest but pointed out that the
market has been under pressure a
good part of the week. Most
traders. at the same time, gave
little indication that they were
ready to abandon the attitude of
caution which has dominated the
market for some time.

more than a point, Philco about a

fused to comment further on his
findings to reporters.
In answer to specific questions,
however, Mr.. Appel said an ink
expert cannot usually fix the time
an linked portion later eradicated
was written. In some cases, he
said, it is possible to tell If two
entries-both later eradicated-
were written at different times.
That depends on whether the
same ink is used for both entries
and whether one entry is written
over another, he explained.
While with the F'BI Mr.. Appel
made the handwriting examina-
tion used to bring about the ex-
tortion indictment of Bruno
Hauptmann in the Lindbergh baby
KIDNAPPING case. This indictment,
returned by a Bronx grand jury,
was followed by Hauptmann's in
dictment and conviction for kid
naping in New Jersey.
Since retiring from the FBI Mr..
Appel has worked on civil cases
from the Office in his home in the
$500 block Of Stephenson place
NV. He said the third precinct
book was presented to him as
document in a civil case and it
was explained that police could
not ask the FBI to make the ink
examination because the case was
a Police Department administra-
tive matter.
Committee to Keep Clear.
Mr.. Davis was definite today
that his subcommittee will have
nothing further to do with the
charges growing out of the Richitt
case-except for whatever COM
ment the subcommittee makes on
its hearings in its final report.
I'VE held thorough and COM
plete hearings and at the con-
clusion of the hearings. the sub
committee asked everybody con-
cerned if there were anything else
they wanted to present." Mr.. Davis
said.
Nobody did have anything else
70 present, so we concluded those
hearings. When our investiga-
ton reaches the point Of making
a report, they will be covered in
our report, but as far as hearings
are concerned. we completed
them and there is nobody else
for us to hear.
Up to d. C. Government.
Having completed the hear
ings, If any further action is in
dicated, 1t is action by the Dis
trict government and not by this
committee.
Mr.. Davis emphasized that
the subcommittee plans to COM
plete the crime investigation it
started. He pointed out that the
additional $4,000 requested by
the subcommittee was mostly for
gambling investigation rather
than for the general law-enforce-
ment probe now underway.

Of Sheep and Goots

The need of the American press for a
few reporters with some savvy about
agriculture was never better illustrated
than by the Stefan Andrews story in
The Star, March IA.
Mr. Andrews wrote that farmers are
turning against the Truman administra-
ton and attempted to prove his point by
interviews with non-farmers and groups
notoriously opposed to the Truman ad-
ministration. He based this conclusion
on his observations during tour spon-
sored by Armour & Co., the meat packers.
Who are his "authoritieS"?
First, he quoted county Extension
Service agent and a former county Ex-
tension Service agent in Missouri. It is
we'll known in agricultural circles that the
Extension Services in most States are
the professional errand boys of the Farm
Bureau Federation, regularly used to
play the Bureau -Extension-GOP politics.
Mr. Andrews might as well have talked
with couple of county COP chairmen.

Dreaming of This Freedom

Ala VrZanova, womans figure skating cham
pon OF the world is only 10 years of age, but
she is old enough to recognize tyranny when
she sees it. A native of Czechoslovakia, with the
good fortune of having had chance to get out
of there on triumphal sports tour she has
decided never to return-at least not as long as
there is a Kremlin- serving Communist dictator
ship at Prague. Instead, with the ready assent
of the British government, she is going to be
political refugee in the United Kingdom.
1t is not an easy sort of decision that Miss
Vrzanova has made. AS result of it. besides
cutting herself off from her homeland and all
her young friends there, she may never again
see her parents, and she must constantly wonder
whether the Czech regime will make them suffer
for what she has done. Yet, as she has put it.
Il have been dreaming of this freedom for two
years" and "I just couldn't stand Prague any
longer" It is a dream that others before her
have had and have acted upon just as she has
acted. 1t is compelling thing-a great force
that drives one to break away whenever the
chance presents itself.
Liberty, after ALL is brightest in dungeons
and in the prison world behind the Iron Cur

Ala Vrzanova is merely one of great numbers
who are inspired by that dream and who wait

Parable for the Atom Aqe

All this talk about discovering the
secrets back of creation, and going to the
planets on planes recalls another SIM
liar trend that occurred many years ago.
In Biblical days, a group of people
built great city on plain, and so en-
couraged were they by this product Of
their knowledge and ability that they de-
cided to build huge tower that would
extend right up into Heaven, from where
they could view first-hand the secrets be-
hind creation.
Well, according to the Bible, instead
of getting the tower built high enough
to extend into Heaven, they finally ended
up in utter confusion, and started talking
to one another in new and incompre-
hensible languages-probably beginning
to do so using some Of the same strange
new terms that the present seekers
after r-creative- secrets are beginning to
use.
In any event, it appears that before
the worlds wise become too involved in
digging out the secrets back of creation,
they might render a far more valuable
and badly-needed service to us less-wise
mortals by digging out some way whereby
we can get along better together on earth
than we have heretofore.
And furthermore, if these seekers con-
tinue to dig out and throw back to us
such things as atom and hydrogen bombs.
without coming back now and then to
see that we properly handle those things,
they might wake up one of these fine
mornings to pick themselves up in pieces
in Creations laboratory, or on the
planets.

This and That

Plastic aquariums and white squir-
rels-
Not the latter in the former, but
separate and apart, one in home. and
the squirrels in whole neighborhood.
Comes now the C. L. D. family of Hill
crest with the following tale:
1--WE need assistance with our animal
and plant problems, so we are coming to
you for help.
About six weeks ago we acquired a
plastic aquarium (the type where the
fish can go through the handle)
1--WE have two fish in it and they seem
to be thriving but we cannot keep a
snail nor the water plants alive. The
snails live only about week, the grass
little longer; the fish seem to eat the
leaves so that they look very sickly after
the first week.
"We are wondering whether the
trouble might be because, in an effort
to be sure that there is no chlorine in
the water. we are using water from
the hot water spigot letting it stand
for at least 48 hours at room tempera
ture before putting it in the aquarium
"We had planned to change the water
only once week, but have had to
make the change oftener because of con-
ditions. Our hot water tank is set at
rather high temperature and we are
wondering whether the natural life in
the water might have been so impover-
ished that the snails and plants are
starving tosdeath.

We are keeping the aquarium too warm?
We keep it on the television set
where it gets the afternoon sun, and
the TV set runs off and on from around
pm. until 1890 pm. and gets rather
warm
"A felted mirror under the aquarium
keeps it from getting too warm, we
believe.
We hope that this is not the cause
as there is no other suitable place for
the aquarium where it can help enter
tain shut-in."
A television set is perhaps the very
worst place in any house for an
aquarium.
The electric charge and heat built up
are very great. Water and electricity
do not mix. The field of force built up
sometimes extends all around the set
The heat is too intense, in most cases.
II the fishes are goldfish, such a situa-
ton would be too hot for them, and it
might even prove so for tropical speci-
mems.
The first thing to do to improve this
aquarium would be to remove 1t to a
more suitable location This might be
secured in small table not too far from
the center of interest.
Plastic aquariums of the trick type
instanced are newcomers to the aquar-
ium scene. After the novelty of the
fishes swimming through the handle has
lessened, 1t would be wise to invest in
rectangular aquarium.

If Acheson's Red, Moscow's Color Blind

Ho,D does the Kremln feel about
Secretary OF State Acheson, the man
1Dho these days is being described as
pro-Communist By certain of our Re-

On Monday, MoscoaD Radios "home

ME day before yesterday, a dema-
gogical attempt to win public opin-

United States Secretary of State. He
delivered long speech in the town of
Berkeley on the subject. "The Friction
Between the United States and the So
Wet Union" This is the first of a series
of speeches by the United States Secre-
tary of State in the course of his pecu-
liar tour over California. The many
failures which overcame American dip

quent use of the word peace" and en-
broidered a great deal on the fact that
he strives for peace" These phrases,
however. only proved that open appeals
for war are anything but popular among
the American people. The entire speech,
abundantly interspersed with anti-Soviet
slander, revealing the speaker as truly
incorrigible liar leaves no doubt as to
the true intentions of this fascist-like
diplomat.
Obviously envying Ribbentrop his
laurels Mr.. Acheson declared: "Our time
requires total diplomacy" In order to
find out what this total diplomacy
means, it is by no means necessary TO
turn to the initial sources and worry the
dead-Hitler, Goebbels, Himmler. Ribben-
trop, and the rest of Acheson's political
ancestors.

Reasons for Teacher Deorth

Low salaries and poor working condi-
tions are not the only causes of the
teacher shortage. One important cause is
that the States have different qualifica-
tions for their teachers, making it diff
cult for teachers educated in one State
to qualify in other States.
Even the schools in this area have diff
ferent qualifications. Maryland, Vir-
ginia, and the District of Columbia have
different sets Of qualifications for their
counselors and teachers.
Another serious drawback is the limi-
tation of the retirement system. Each
State has its own requirements Usually
a teacher must teach long number Of
years In one particular State; teaching
experience in another State does not
count. If he moves to another State, he
probably will never qualify for retire.
