Asia Bloc Approaches
Chinese With Plan for
Political Settlement
BY the Associated Press


LAKE SUCCESS, Dec. 30.-With
direct cease-flre negotiations ap-
parently abandoned, a group OF
Asian-Arab nations today pushed
a plan to tempt Communist China
to withdraw from Korea by prom
Using her political settlement of
Far Eastern problems.
Since any conference leading to
such settlement would have to
take into account the Chinese
Reds demands for U. N. member
ship, withdrawal of U. N. forces
from Korea and the United States
7th Fleet from Formosa, it would
be unacceptable to the United
States.
Rau Calls Meeting Tonight.
1ndia's Sir Bengal N. Rau,
leader of, mediation efforts, has
summoned representatives of the
IL other countries to meet at his
apartment in New York tonight.
The agenda is a closely kept
secret, but it is believed the group
will try to find a formula mutually
acceptable to the United States
and the Chinese Reds.
Most observers feel this is a
impossible task. Peiping
has turned down in advance any,
thing less than the minimum"
demands already listed and the
United States has promised to
fight any move that smacks of
appeasement of Communist ag-
gression.
The three-man cease-fire COM
mission began to write it's report
to the U. Ms 60-nation Political
Committee yesterday and hopes
to have it ready for presentation
next Wednesday.
Hope Appears Lost.
Since the commission Had post
poned drafting the report in hopes
of getting a less uncompromising
reply from Peiping than that
already received, the mere fact
that 1t is going ahead is taken
as evidence that hope has been
given up
Members are Rau, Assembly
President Nasrollah Entezam of
Iran and Canada's Lester B.
Pearson.
The IL nations which want to
link a cease-fire with the promise
of a conference where Red China
would be represented are Afghan
istan, Burma, Egypt. India. Indo-
nesia, Iran. Iraq. Lebanon, Pakis-
tan, Saudi Arabia, Syria and
Yemen.

and beyond Immediately into ef-
feet. Within three weeks the
President asked Congress for 10 S
billion dollars additional military
funds.
"Time Table" Stressed.
The main thesis of the overall
programming was that every
agency must tie in its own plans
with the general timetable. AS
examples, there should not be a
grand mobilization of military
manpower until the industrial
plant was turning out needed
equipment: in the airplane indus
try, the first orders would be for
trainer planes rather than fight
ers and light bombers. Freight
cars were put ahead of army
trucks and tanks. For munitions
requiring years of planning and
construction, such as aircraft
carriers and heavy bombers,
orders could be given at once be-
cause men to handle them could
be training while they were being
built.
The first few months in Korea
brought mostly bad news, so the
program went ahead at great
speed. Then came the successful
Inchon landing and the spectac-
ular drive to the Yalu River. This
apparent victory again changed
the immediate picture and 1t
looked to some people as though
we could relax.
This encouraging situation,
however was not allowed to af-
feet the overall program because
No. 68 is a global strategic plan
for strengthening the free world
regardless of Communistic tactics
al any one time or place such as
Korea.
China Reds Altered Plans.
The entrance of the Chinese
Communists in organized force at
the end Of November again
changed the time table. Plans and
budget figures had to be stepped
up more sharply. Mr.. Truman

TAMPA, Fla, Dec. 30-SheriH
Hugh Culbreath's personal fortune
was under scrutiny by Kefauver
committee problers today follow
ing testimony of Hillsborough

Sheriff Culbreath put a batch
Of his personal financial records in

night. He came in four hours late

back today for examination.
Paul Giglia, a bolita seller, hold
told Senator Hunt, Democrat, of
Wyoming, the lone member of the
Senate committee sitting here,
that he personally turned over ST.
500 to Sheriff Culbreath.
The sum came in two payments
from Jimmy Velasco, gambling
syndicate lieutenant, slain De-
cember IL, 1948, Giglia said. The
first payment of $500, said Giglia,
was made as a campaign contri-
button after Culbreath had
warned Velasco to "get right" and
not support his opponent.
Described as Rent Payment.
The remaining $1,000 was de-
scribed as paying the rent to the
old man." Giglia said he handed
the envelope containing the
money to Culbreath and told him

as saying.

are variations such as drawing

Other witnesses told of busi-
ness deals in which the sheriff
and Tampa gambling figures were
involved. One name written into
the record was the late John
Torrio, Capone mobster, who sold
the sheriff some real estate at
Pass-a-Grille, Fla, in 1945. The
agreed price was $4,000. but Os-
valid C.. Tracy, st. Petersburg
real estate man who handled it,
said he saw only $1,000 after
which attorneys took the trans
action out of his hands.
Unsolved Murders Mentioned.

Why Grow OEd9
Need to Gain Weiqht?

Try the two glasses Of cream
and milk added to your regular
milk intake and watch the scales
for happy results and your health
for pickup. Along with the glass
of milk each night you can have
few crackers. Graham crackers
are good or white crackers and
cheese make a palatable before
bedtime" snack. Fresh fruit can
be added.
Sometimes those who wish to
gain cannot handle large meals
well. Therefore it is helpful to
eat five smaller meals. Eat your
well-balanced breakfast and a
moderate luncheon, take glass
of fruit juice or fruit at midmorn-
ing and your cream and milk or
milkshake at midafternoon and
then the little before bed" snack
at night, which includes another
glass of cream and milk.
These procedures sound so sim
pie that you may not believe they
will work but they will if you
follow directions faithfully.
If you wish to gain weight and

Diet" send a stamped, self-ad-
dressed envelope with your request

Got a ball handy? Toss it into
the air. Take careful note of the
position of your body after the
ball leaves your hand.
If you are right-handed, you
will find that you stood with
your right foot about step
ahead of your left; you leaned
slightly forward: as you tossed
the ball with your right arm, your
left arm automatically swung
backward. At least, that's what
happened if you have good bal
ance. If it didn't happen, you
weren't as graceful as you should
be, and you didn't pitch a good
ball. either.
Without perfect balance, you
cannot stand, sit or walk with
maximum grace. Furthermore,
your proficiency in your favorite
sport can't be what you wish it
to be.
The secret of perfect equilibrium
lies in learning to adjust the
masses of your body so that they
counterbalance in any position you
may take. These body masses

Milk is one of the most valuable
foods for the woman who wishes
to gain because it supplies so
many of the essential elements:
Protein, calcium. phosphorus and
most of the vitamins. You can
now buy milk with vitamin D
added.
The underweight woman should
drink whole milk because of it's
fat content. It is a fine habit to
add extra cream to your glass of
milk. If you can drink it half
and half (half milk and half
cream do so. If that is little
rich for you make the glass one
third cream. Use table cream,
not the heaviest kind.
Sometimes the addition of two
of these glasses, one before retir-
ing and one at midmorning or at
midafternoon, will turn the angles
into curves.
I know one woman who gained
weight in the following way. She
did not like milk but she put a
half cup of cream in a glass, add
ed a, little sugar and filled the
tumb1er with ginger ale. If you
try this add the ginger ale when
holding the glass over the kitchen

of them moves, the others must
make compensatory movements to
keep you from being being thrown
off balance and topping over.
You can learn to improve your
balance generally. When you can
perform the following exercise
with ease, and it's a hard one,
you will be more gracefully poised
in every action you perform.
Stand with your arms out
stretched to the sides at shoulder
level, feet together. Slowly
stretch your left leg back behind
you as far as you can. Keep
your weight balanced on the ball
of your right foot without wob-
bling. Hold for count of 10.
Return the left leg to starting
position.
Then. slowly raise the leg back
ward again as you incline your
body forward from your hips.
Try to achieve a position In
which your leg and body are in
a straight line and parallel to the
floor. Hold for a count of five.
Repeat both parts of the exer-
else with the right leg.
When you can do on both legs
10 times for a count of 20 each
time, you've got balance!

ply company on both sides of
Seventh street NV. at r street is
the answer. j
For the lady who wants unusual

Crocker's cocoa chiffon cake with
three different toppings? Recipe
comes in her cook book, in some
magazines or on folder in the flour
she sells.
For the lady who wants all in

time, one of our favorite desserts
is a quickie apple pan dowdy.
Heat can of sliced apples with
seasoning, usually used for pie,
pour into baking dish, preferably
not too deep, layer cake pan is
good, then cover with 1a package
of muffin mix, using twice the
amount of liquid called for on
package plus l tablespoon sugar.
Serve plain or with cream. Good
hot or cold.
Leftover stew or meat with
plenty of gravy is also good this
way. omitting sugar, of course.
Add any vegetables you may have

For Mrs. D. j. A., Alexandria:
You might find the following sug-
gestions helpful when taking your
trip West: In addition to taking
your little car refrigerator. sup
plement your equipment with a
wide-mouth thermos jug. Before
starting out each morning, fill the
thermos with piping hot water,
then when time comes to warm
your baby's bottle, tie a string
around the neck of the bottle and
hold it in the thermos of hot
water until sufficiently warm.
Your 3-year-old will enjoy going
fishing" with you for the baby's
warm bottle. Replace lid on ther-
mos and the water will remain hot
all day.
Stopping at motor courts, where
you can prepare baby bottles, heat
water, etc., would undoubtedly be
