OF Gentle Intentions
BY the Associated Press

seeking to reduce opposition in
Tibet ahead of it's invading army,
repeatedly assured Tibetans to-
day that their revered Lamas
would be safeguarded, their tenn
Piles protected and their traditions
respected.
A lengthy proclamation. broad
cast from Peiping and publicized
in Hong Kong by the Red New
China News Agency, added the
hope that Tibetans will carry
on with their pursuits in tran
guilty and guard against spread
ing of rumors and creating Of
disturbances in their midst"
The proclamation, in the name
of the Reds southwest military
command. repeated the familiar
contention that the Reds seek to
"liberate" Tibet from oppression
under American and British I'M
perlalists and Chang Kai-shek's S
reactionary (Chinese Nationalist)
government"
The proclamation warily speci-
fed that even officials with for
mer 'pro-Imperialist and Kuo-
(Chinese Nationalist)
leanings may keep their posts
if definite evidence is supplied
they will not resort to sabotage
Dr. offer resistance"
It said troops of Tibet's minia-

Construction in Tube
Keeps Mercury Up

CHICAGO.-The mercury in a
fever thermometer doesn't go
down when it is immersed in cold
water, because the tube has a con-
striction at the bottom.
While the expansion when the
mercury is warm is enough to
push it past that point. there is
not enough pull when it is cooled
to draw it back. Thus it stays at
the temperature of the body, Civ

the court should preserve the
unity Of the natural family"
But Judge Tamm examined all
the evidence embraced in reports
and actual testimony and came to
these conclusions:
He noted that six months after
Mrs. Nicely's husband had been
inducted, she started living with
another man and that the twins
were born of this liaison. Judge
Tamm added that later the mother
lived with two other men, and
noted that she was never gainfully
employed, living instead off her
dead husbands Government pen
sion.
AT no time did she display any
maternal affection for these little
girls, but has been concerned with
her own licentious way of life,'
Judge Tamm declared.
Sale of Child Charged.
I'm the opinion of the court,
Mrs. Nicely sold her own child
for some $1,000" he added.
While he said he had some
doubt whether Mr.. Becker's cash
payment did not constitute an
effort to pay Mrs. Nicely for her
adoption consent, Judge Tamm
declared he was inclined to be
more sympathetic" to the Beckers
than he "ever would be to the
heartlessneSS of a woman, un-
deserving of the name mother
who would sell her own child to
further her own desires"
AS for the mothers claim of
duress In the adoption consent,
Judge Tamm said this was not
supported by the evidence. And
despite the possible irregular bed
time hours Of Joyce in the Beck
ers' home. every one agrees that
the child is ''radiantly healthy
and very happy" there.
The court added that while the
Welfare Boards abstract prin-
ciple" that twins should not be
separated 'is sound" it lay in
Joyce's best interests to be taken
away from her natural mother.
Judge Tamm also declared he
had mo assurance" that Joyce
would benefit by being given over
to Mrs. Smiths care.
AS for the natural affection
and attraction" between Joyce and
Joan, Judge Tamm declared he as
sumed these unfortunate little
girls will continue to have the
same opportunity to be together
from time to time in the future as
in the past"
Attorney Herman Miller, repre-
senting the Beckers, said today
that the last time the two girls
saw each other was about month
ago in District Court. Joyce and
Joan have been attending differ
ent schools ever since the age of
five. MIR. Miller added.

By fhs Assosiassd Press

Prospects Of q close vote brought
Senators hurrying back from out
of town today for balloting on a
bill which would permit business
men to set uniform delivered
prices wherever their products
are sold.
The agreement for a vote on the
long disputed measure was reach
ed only after q threat by Major
ity Leader Lucas to hold the Sen
ate In q night session.
Senator'S Kefauver. Democrat,
Of Tennessee and Douglas. Demo-
crat, of Illinois. opposing the
measure. had refused to agree 10
a fixed time for voting. Such an
agreement requires unanimous

They altered their stand. how
ever, after Senator Long. Demo-
crat, of Louisiana. another Of the
bills opponents. telephoned from
New Orleans that he would leave
his sickbed and board an airplane
for Washington in time to vote.
Senate Republican Leader
Wherry Of Nebraska said a num-
ber of other Senators also were
flying back.
The bill is a compromise Of diff
ferent measures passed by the
Senate and House. The House
already has approved it. Senate
approval would send 1t to Presi-
dent Truman.

Truman Sees Peace,
Disaqrees With Poll

President Truman still is bulliSh
on peace-and believes the world
is nearer that goal than at any
time in the last five years.
He made this statement at a
news conference yesterday, when
asked for comment on a Gallup
Poll report showing majority OF
the American people expect war
in five years.
Asserting that he does not agree
at all, the President emphasized
that he is bending every effort
to bring peace to the world.
In response to another query,
Mr.. Truman indicated that when
Rear Admiral r. H. Hillenkoetter,
now director of the Central In
telligence Agency. returns to Navy
duty he will replace him with Gen.
Walter Bedell Smith. former
Ambassador to Moscow.

Committee 10 Vote
On Defying Veto Of
Excise Tax SIashes
BY the Assoeiofsd Press

House tax writer's will decide
today whether to stand firm In
defying a presidential veto Of the
$1,000. 1000, 900 slash in excise taxes
they have approved.
The Ways and Means Commit
tee faced votes on whether to:
l. Back away from part of their
proposed excise cut, which is far
beyond the $655 million limit
President Truman proposed.
2. Impose a $3.50 million in
crease in corporation taxes, as
suggested by the President.
Mr.. Truman has informed Con-
gress he will not accept any meas
ure that reduces eXcises-on such
things as furs, jewelry, luggage,
toilet preparations. travel tickets,
transportation. etc..-unless the
loss is offset by higher taxes in
other directions.
Not only has the committee
tentatively approved excise cuts
almost twice as big as the Presi-
dent proposed, but 1t also Is about
$500 million short Of finding new
revenue to cover the exicse reduc-
tions.
If the committee sticks to an
excise cut Of anywhere near a
billion dollars it would seem that
some action in the corporation
field is about the only avenue left
to offset the revenue loss.
It already has rejected Mr.. Tru-
mans proposal for $400 million
in new taxes on estates and gifts,
and likewise refused to follow the
Presidents recommendation that
5000 million be picked up by
larger levies on oil and gas pro-
ducers.

always attacking those who seek
to expose either corruptionists or
subversive elements in the ma
tional administration"
In a speech in the House and
extension Of remarks printed in
the Record today. the Michigan
Representative said the Post "over
the years. for the last 10 years
anyway, has usually been found
defending every one who was ac-
cused of corruption in Govern
ment and found defending every
one accused Of being a Commu-
MIST"
Unfortunately" he added, "the
Post does not stand alone in its
efforts to silence those who criti-
cize the present administration,
Pendergastism or communism,
Many commentators. some COL
umniSts and some organizations
still practice intimidation"
Mr.. Hoffman accused the Post
OF "ef1rontery'' in advocating edi-
torially last Monday that lobby
ing organizations be required by
law to furnish detailed financial
reports to Congress. While agree
ing the information should be
provided. he said two. organiza-
tionS (the Committee Tor Consti-
tutional Government and Consti-
tltional Educational League)
Cited hY~the Post ID are making a
valiant effort to restore consti-
tutional government in this coun-
try" He accused the newspaper
OF making vicious and unprin-
cipled attacks upon all those who
wrongly or rightly, disagreed with
Its editorial policy"

tonic of New York who claimed
that this bill would perpetuate
the un-American condition which
exists atthe bureau. Mr.. Marcan-
tonic said that the innocent ap-
pearance of this bill onthe surface
conceals a very ugly situation.
"The real ugly facts concealed by
the wording of this bill are very
revealing of it's anti-Negro objec-
tive"
When proponents attempted to
point out the virtues Of this bill,
the New York Congressman, in a
state of disgust, blasted out that
anything that is pro-FEPC, not
only readily obtains recognition,
but everything is creased for easy
sailing, and "you ear count on the
support of the House leadership.
This statement was perhaps
aimed at the Administrations
Floor Leader McCormick who sup
ported the measure. The Truman
ties were apparently split on this
issue as Cong. Dawson of Illinois
made a stirring speech on the
floor in opposition to it.
His chief objection was that of
the retroactive phrase which would
take from a small group of Neg
70 veterans "the only opportunity
they have ever had in the history
of their employment in the bureau
to promote themselves"
If the bill is so important, Cong.
Dawson could not see why the
Congress of the United States
waited until a Few Negro citizens
who f ought for their country,
came back, was finally given the
opportunity to take a promotion
al examination, and were ready to
get their promotion, before it was
offered for passage.
Such examinations have been
held at the bureau for all these
years, observed Cong. Dawson. AS
a result Of these examinations,
which did not admit Negroes, ap-
prentice position have been filled.
Now that a few Negroes have
qualified themselves, Congress is
asked to pass such a law and make
it retroactive in effect to take
from these men what they have
won as a result of serving both
thir country and the department.
Such national organizations as
the NAACP, the American Coun-
Gil on Human Rights and the Am
erican eVterans committee had
gone on record as opposing this
legislation.
