bacon, bread, butter, jam and tea,
the tariff was 500 francs.
"That can't possibly be right. -
Jean said. "a Belgian franc is
worth two cents American and
that would make that breakfast
cost ten dollars.
We figured there wasn't another
train in the world which had nerve
enough to charge ten bucks for a
skimpy breakfast.
So we frightened our belts and
watched with growing hunger and
amaZement as people throughout
the car ate breakfast.
When, a few hours later. these
same people started ordering
luncheon it was all we could do to
keep from snatching things of
their plates.
But we didn't give in. We
talked 1t over and decided that no
matter how famished we became
we would rather have the money
to spend on something to take
back home for the house.
Lectures the Steward.
Just before we pulled into Lux
embourg I couldn't resist calling
the highwayman of a steward and
asking him just how a train dared
to charge that much for food.
You'll never get by with it,
I said. Americans are big suck
ers, but not such big ones as that.

Doubts Raised on Fairness of Report

concealed the fact that the
methods employed by his Wiscon-
sin colleague had never met with
his approval.
There is no question in the
minds of those who know Senator
Lodge that if the subcommittee
majority had been anywhere near
fair and impartial in it's sum-
nation. Senator Lodge either
would have subscribed to it's con-
clusions or, at most. would have
refrained from making any com.
ment.
Senator Lodge declared publicly
that the investigation was super.
fetal and inconclusive;; the pro-
ceedings lacked impartiality: the
atmosphere was too often not thai

"Files i'm Unfinished State"
Anticipating the accusation
from his Democratic colleagues
that he had read only IL of the
files placed at the subcommittee
disposal by the President, he
stated: 1.-THE loyalty files which ]
read were in such an unfinished
state as to indicate that an exam
ination of such files would be a
waste of time" Senator Hicken-
looper is expected to add some
pungent remarks on this matter.
The majority report would have
been convincing to the average
observer. however, if Chairman
Tydings had not been proved
guilty of making two excursions
into the realm of Baron MUNICH
hausen. .-
He stated publicly at the end OF
the baltimore hearings that the
FBI files showed conclusively that
there was nothing in them adverse
to the Johns Hopkins professor
This unqualified statement was
emphatically denied by Senator
Hickenlooper, and Senator Tyd-
ings' own party colleagues failed
to support his contention.
Later, while he was preparing
the interim report-which now
has become final-he asserted
that he had received letter from
the Justice Department informing
him that the FBI had found NO
evidence that State Department
files had been tampered with
This was followed by a letter from
Senator Mccarthy to President
Truman inclosing, in addition to
affidavitS from former State De-
partment employees who had been
hired to purge the files in the fall
of 1916, also a letter from j. Edgar
Hoover stating that the FBI did
not say whether the files had or
had not been interfered with in
the past.
These positive facts necessarily

age citizens as to the impartiality

There are no victors. Perhaps
the closest anyone came to a
profit is Senator Margaret Chase
Smith of Maine whose courageous
Declaration of Conscience earned
her new admirers and attractive
publicity. But she paid price in
increased distrust of her liberal
ism by the Old Guard wing of her
party. ....
Senator Mccarthy can claim ad-
vertising, too, which his ambition
craved but he is irreparably in
jured with the judicious and a
bright white light has been cast
upon his very informal income
tax returns.
The young man from Wiscon-
sin will also find that he has
called an attention to himself
that will not be easily relaxed nor
confined to the strict channels
of his political career. There is
a strong tendency IN tnlS country
to feel that the private lives of

OF the three Democrats who
had the job of weighing the Nc

has blunted the political perils OF
their task but they are being and
will be fired upon.
Both Brilliant Lawyers.
Both put in tedious hours on

were ready to put down their con-

absolutely clear. Both are bril-

House Will Pass Federal Aid To Schools Program

WASHINGTON, (P)-Rep. Lu- cas D.-Tex0 said yesterday he thinks the House will pass "some sort of federal aid program" for school construction this session.
 He is chairman of House edu- cation subcommittee now hearing testimony on 13 federal aid bills. He told a reporter he hopes the full committees will have a bill ready for the House on or soon after April IT. Rep. Lesisnke O. MichD is chairman of the full committee.
 Meanwhile, the subcommittee this afternoon heard George T. Guernsey, director of the CLOS education department, testify that Congress has been negligent in meeting the needs" of the school age population.
 Delegate Bartlett of Alaska, tes- tified that several thousand Alas kan children can't go to school" despite a compulsory attendance law, because of lack of facilities.
 He said Delegate Harrington of Hawaii agreed with him that in any federal aid bill the two Terri tories be given the same aid status as States.
 One result of 40 per cent pop ulation increase in Alaska within the last 10 years, Bartlett said, has been lack of adequate school building in every single school district.

May Obtain Insulin From Halibut

OTTAWA, (P) - Extraction of commercial quantities of insulin from halibut and whales on the Pacific Coast is under investiga- ton by the Canadian fisheries de- partment.
 A department publi Ii n Trade News" said that its Pacific fisheries experimental station is looking into the question of hav- ing fish provide insulin, the Ca madam discovered prepar t O n used in combating diabetes.
 Canadian scientists turned to fish as potential source because demand for insulin has been dou- bling every five years since 1880. The normal supply - from beef pancreas-is relatively fixed.
 From investigations made dur ing the summer of 1949," the de- partment said, ''it would appear that the most promising sources of insulin on this Pacific) coast are to be found in halibut and whales"

A BLOW TO SEGREGATION

This week the United States Supreme Court handed
