LABOR PARTY:
Sko,de ToeG

Bulletins IN the physical condi-
ton of ailing members of the house
of commons have become a part of
British humor recently.
Members of the labor party, how
ever, are not finding them very
funny, especially since the one
vote victory on a minor issue. By
just one vote the government es-
capped an embarrassing defeat and
a serious blow to its prestige.
The issue, a token cut to the
transportation appropriation
amounting to only 1000 pounds,
tied 278 to 278. The chairman of
the house, Laborite James Miner,
cast the deciding vote on the gov
ernment's side. =
As a result Of the narrow es-
cape, English political observers
said they expected Prime Minister
Attlee to enforce even stronger dis
cipline on attendance of Labor
members of the house.
Observers said that the vote also
gave a true picture as to just how
narrow the balance Of power in
the British government has be-
come,

STUDENTS:
Stage Riots

Thousands Of New York high
school students staged repeated
Observation-Disclosures outright riots
demanding higher pay for teach
ers and protesting a virtual halt in
after-school activities.
AS many as 5000 students repeat
eddy rushed city offices and clashed
with police. They shouted and
showed, threw stones, stuck pins in
police horses, set off firecrackers,
and made trouble in general.
New York's school problems can
be traced directly to the teachers
who have demanded more money.
As a result, $13, 600, 900 was added
to the school budget, but Mayor
O'Dwyer cut this figure to $7,000,-
900. The teachers then called a mod
flied strike, keeping classes but re-
fuSing to supervise ''extra-curricu-
lar" activities such as commence
ment exercises, senior dances,
plays, proms and class days.
AS a result, the students staged
demonstrations which at first were
taken lightly, but soon gave evil
dence of brilliant organization and
direction.
The picture became more con-
fused when the Communist Daily
Worker praised the demonstrators
and accused the New York police
of invoking 81 terror r. methods
against them.
Said Federal Judge John c.
Knox of southern New York dis
trict court: The photographs Of
jostling mobs will bring joy to the
inmates of the Kremlin"; the riots
r daring and disgraceful."

TAXES:
Votes Cut

The all-important house ways and
means committee has voted a 20
per cent slash of the federal admis-
sion tax on film, stage and sport
tickets.
The action, were it to become law,
would mean an annual loss esti-
mated at $242, 600, 900, bringing the
total cuts and exemptions approved
thus far to $575, 000, DOC.
Political observers agreed that
the cut would be a popular vote
catching move, but at the same
time, were beginning to wonder if
there are enough ''loopholes" in ex-
listing tax laws to make up the
deficit that appears likely.
President Truman was of the opin-
ion that by tightening certain tax
laws, funds will be available for
government operations the next
fiscal year.
In fact, the President threatened
to veto any bill that fails to offset
the losses by provision of new rev.
enue from other sources. He asked
that the excise cuts be held to
$685., 900, 900.
At this point another problem ap-
pears. The committee had not yet
voted on two of the most important
Of wartime excises-communica-
tons and transportation.
Some members predict that an
other $500, 900, 900 cut would be ap-
proved in these fields. If that
should be the case, the total reduc-
ton would climb to more than
$1,000, 000, 900.
What happens next? II Mr.. Tru-
man kept his word he would veto
any bill that did not take up the
slack from another quarter. Add to
that, the cut is 345 billion above
what the President recommended.
It seemed that a battle was shap-
ing up for the future. It was an in
teresting situation, to say the least.

MAYDAY:
Disappointing

Outside Russia, May Day proved
a great disappointment to the Com
munists.
In Berlin, for instance, where
the Reds had hoped for strife, a
half million people, drawn from
both halves of the divided city,
roared defiance to the Soviet Union
and German communism and
pledged allegiance to freedom.
At least SOC, 900 staged a spectac-
ular demonstration in the British
zone dwarfing the well-organized
parade only a few blocks away.
The Reds claimed that 800, 1000 par
ticipated, but east-sector police on
the spot volunteered that the crow
was no more than 25O,OOO.
And, although the meetings were
next door to each other, there was
no outstanding violence. A furry
of stone-throwing and a few fist
fights was the extent Of battle.
Of the speakers, aging Mayor
Ernest Reuter- of Berlin was the
most popular. The crowd applaud
ed and cheered when he said, I'VE
Berliners are not afraid of any
thing"
In New York, the annual May
Day parade was held to the tune of
jeers from spectators and a few
fist fights. About $4,000 persons at
tended the rally, the smallest num-
Der in years.
Also on the home front, the little
town of Mosinee, Wis, expert
mented with communism for the
day and a strong-armed guerrilla"
band ground 1000 residents under
the heel of a mock Communist
boot.
The mayor was forced to sur
render the town, the police chief
was executed, a concentration camp
was filled with hymn singers,
churches were closed and food ra-
toned. The residents of the little
town felt it was well worth while.
All in all, the day outside Rus
STA proved a great disappointment
to the Communists. It was evident
also, that the so-called witch
hunt" underway in congress is
making a great many Communists
depart the company of fellow org
aniZerS.

GERMANY:
Peoples Police

Two Communist storm troopers,
who wandered into West Berlin,
confirmed long = standing British
and American suspicious that the
Soviet Union was rearming East
Germany.
The two strays, armed to the
teeth, pleaded guilty in a U. S.
court of entering the section in
para-military uniform. Weapons in
cluded army pistols, machine guns
and assault rifles.
The men said they were men,
bers of the Soviet zone Peoples
Police" but that it is in reality an
army. Members of the organiza-
ton get short training as police
men, including law courses, then
60 in for tanks, armored cars,
light and heavy machine guns,
grenades and assault rifles.
On top of that, daily classes in
political education under Com
munist commissars are given the
So units of 1000 men each.
AS if in answer to Communist
plan, the United States defense de-
partment answered the following
day that 146, 500 army troops are
maintained by this country in west
Germany.
The department said nearly 6O0,-
600 men, more than 40 per cent of
the country's total all = service
armed strength are on duty out
side the United States.
OF the troops in Germany, an
army spokesman said, $1,000 are
concentrated in Berlin. The de-
tense department has long oper-
ated OF the theory that Russia
would like nothing better than a
chance to take over Berlin.

The business world took immedi-

Corporate working capital at the
end of 1949 was more liquid than at
any time since the early part of
1947.
This increased liquidity last year
resulted from a 2-billion-dollar rise
in holding of cash and United
States government securities, and
a SIS billion decline in current liza

In all, the outlook was good most
observers agreed.

Italy has no powerful anti

their country regularly vote Com

it doubly difficult to make drastic

The center of the earth-an
iron ball about 1000 miles in
radius-is growing bigger at a
rate of more than 100000 tons a
second.
This is approximately the rate
lat which iron Is sinking out of
the planets crust. The phe-
nomenon has been in progress for
most of the 3 billion years of
the earth's history. but for long
,periods the rate must have been
much slower.
This theory was advanced be-
fore the Geological Society of
America, meeting here today, by
Dr.. Harold G. Urey Of the Uni
versity Of Chicago, to explain the
observed changes in the period
|of the planets rotation.
The concentration of it's mass
at the center. it was pointed out,
would tend to increase the speed
|of the earth's spin to partially
offset the braking effect of moon
raised tides on the bottoms and
beaches of shallow seas.
Pictures Earth at Start.
DR.. Urey pictured the earth at
the start as made up of fairly
uniform mixture of nickle-iron
and combinations of silica. This
at present is essentially the COM
position, it was explained, of both
the planet Mars and the moon.
1t is also the composition of me-
teorites, fragments of planetary
matter which strike the earth as
falling stars.
Although earth, moon and Mars
presumably originated at about
the same time. factors have been
involved in this planet, perhaps
essentially its larger volume and
mass, which have tended to break
up the mixture.
Even before the earth was
formed, DR.. Urey pointed out,
something must have happened
to separate the iron and silica in
the primeval matter of creation
since the chemical composition of
