Was the S. S. S. initiation start

welding fingernail polish and
mascara brushes to test the diff

the effect of the brand new 1880

grooming, hair styling, etc. they
also had two beautiful experts in

Parrot Fever Is
Threat In Ohio

The Ohio Department of Health
today moved to prevent an out
break OF psittacosis (parrot fever)
throughout the state.
DR.. John d. Porterfield, Dir
ector of Health, warned that the
outbreak is not imminent, but
that the Department of Health is
acting In advance of necessity"
FIRST move of the Department
was to quarantine northeast
Ohio pet shop in which several
cases OF psittacosis among birds
was discovered.
The shop was located after
Stubenville man was diagnosed as
having the disease. He told health
officials there that he recently
had purchased pet bird from
the northease Ohio shop.
Two dead birds from the shop
have been tested in the laboratory
and found to have had active
cases of psittacosis, DR.. Porter
field said.
The shop birds in wholesale
and retail lots to pet shops and
individuals throughout the state,
he reported.
DR.. Charles r. Freeble, Jr.,
chief, and DR.. Allan Greenlee,
veterinarian, OF the Division of
Communicable Diseases of the
Ohio Department of Health, said
psittacosis in humans might be
mistaken for virus pneumonia.
DR.. Greenlee advised Ohioans
owning pet birds to take them to
a veterinarian if they appeared
sick.
DR.. Freeble said persons having
or contracting an illness resembl-
ing virus pneumonia should advise
their physicians if they own or
have recently handled wild or
pet birds.
There is little cause for
ALARM" DR.. Porterfield said.

FEAR

There is a fascination in tear.
There is a vortex that surrounds
the concept of doom. When there
is stark terror about, men magni-
fy it and rush toward it. Those
who have lived under the shelter
of a wishful idolism are most
prone to rush into utter pessi-
mism when the shelter fails. No
terror is greater than the un-
known, except the terror OF the

Truman Requests $3.50 Million

President Truman today sent to
the House a supplemental appro-

million to provide Office space for
some $4,000 new Federal employees
and to provide for a loyalty check
of the new workers.
The Presidents request asked
for 81 1850, 900 for the Civil Service
Commission to expand its loyalty
check program in connection with
the hiring Of the $4,000 employees.
None of the employees would be
in Washington proper but would
be scattered over the United
States under present plans.
The commission said the new
employees would be added to exist
ing agencies and Offices. A spokes-
man said the loyalty program
funds would not involve any
change in the present set-up. He
added:

He went Immediately. without
comment, to the Russian En-
bassy.
With his chief, 1t. Gen. K. N.

silently and abruptly shortly be-
fore the Korean war started. Gen.
Derevyanko since has been re-
ported in Peiping with Russian
Vice Premier Molotov, wrangling
with Chinese Reds over the
threatened invasion of Chinese
Nationalist Formosa.

slams from Japan was regarded
as a protest over American occu-

Gen. Macarthur airmailed his
Formosa statement well in ad-
vance. with a covering personal
letter, to his extensive private
mailing list which effectively
blankets public opinion in Amer
ica.
The list, however, notably omits
the generals Commander-in- Chief
and the Secretary of Defense who
were in the dark about the whole
matter until Saturday morning.
Why they were so long with
out such well-distributed informa-
tion seems to have been purely &C
cidental.
But President Truman acted as
soon as he could and he could
not have acted before he did.
The President did not ask or
need advice about his course. He
made that plain to his major ad-
visers by the mere tone Of his
voice in a remarkable scene in
his oval study Saturday morning.

has a major impact upon domes-
tic politics and international rela-
tions, began for the White House

Reds Reported Ready
To Negotiate on Tibet
By the Associoted Press

NEW DELHI, India, Aug. 3d.
A reliable source said today the
Chinese Communist government
has informed India it is willing to
settle the question of Tibet peace
fully through negotiations in New
Delhi.
The informant said Peiping had
replied to India's informal note
which urged earlier this month
that the status of Tibet be set
tied in friendly talks. The Chi
nese had been reported planning
to invade Tibet.
The reply was said to have in
formed India that Red China has
authorized it's newly appointed
Ambassador, Gen. Yuan Chung
hsien, to carry on the talks here
with Tibetan representatives.
Yuan is expected to arrive Sep
tember 10. A seven-man delega-
ton of Tibetan priests is also due
here shortly from Kalimpong,
Northeast India.
An Indian Foreign Office
spokesman said on August II that
his government would be pleased
if Tibet were allowed to continue
in the position it held under the
Nationalist Chinese government
autonomy under nominal Chinese
rule.
The favorable Chinese reply,
Offering to negotiate on this basis,
was seen here as an indirect de-
NAL OF recent press reports from
various sources that China's Com
munist troops had launched their
ct threatened invasion.

Here's How Truman Handled
That Macarthur Incident
Midnight Telephone Call Broke Story
To Shocked White House. Aide

/ night Friday in the home of g
member of the Presidents staff. A
friend was calling to ask if 8
change in United States policy
toward Formosa and the Chinese
Nationalists was in the offing
following Gen. MacArthur's pub.
lie discussion Of Formosa's stra-
tegic Importance Monday.
The question was a rather con-
siderable shock since the White
House believed that w. Averell
Hartman, the Presidents foreign
policy co-ordinator. had thor
oughly impressed on Gen. Mac
Arthur the delicacy of the For
mosan question.
Obeying the usual Washington
custom of the mountain going to
Mahomet, Mr.. Hartman had
flown to Tokyo following Gen
MacArthur's visit to Chang Kai-
shek. 1D great detail Mr.. Hartman
briefed the general on Formosan
policy as seen in the framework OF
our relations with our allies and

The supplemental appropriation
asked for $13,74O.000 to allow
agencies outside the Washington
area to obtain more Office space
to take care of the expanding
force which will be hired.
The money would be spent to

General Services Administra-
tion, which would handle the
funds, said that the funds would
be used to rent Office space for
some 1000 Selective Service head
quarters in the 48 States. In
addition, space would be rented
for another 10000 defense

was estimated on the basis Of

will need new space"

North Koreans Told

Communist Leaders
Leaflets Tell Citizens
To Quit Cities and Help
Build Up Free Nation
By John A. Giles

There was a broad hint to the
citizens Of North Korea today
that their Communists rulers win
be ousted once the United Nations
forces fight their way back to the
38th parallel.
1t came in psychological war
fare leaflets advising civilians to
move away from the cities which
have been converted into military
targets by "your Communist lead
ers" and told them "you can help
build a strong, free Korea after
the Communists have been driven
out"
Whether it is the intention of
the United States to do more
than rid South Korea of the in
vaders-presumably with United
Nations concurrence-is not clear
at the present moment.
The suggestion came as defense
leaders here said the Korean war
definitely was entering the stabili-
Zation period.

perimeter was taking on the like
ness of a tough elastic barrier
