ties in with the budget, is being
worked on in Washington by the
Council OF Economic Advisers.
Both it and the budget message
will not be shaped finally until
about the time they go to Capitol
Hill. for Mr.. Truman will want
last-minute economic trends, de-
fense production figures, tax out
look and all the rest of the fiscal
data that must 60 into these
spending blueprints as they are
laid before Congress.

sion with the President that was
devoted largely to reviewing con-
templated spending for civil func-
tions in the next fiscal year.

Gen. Now and his executive
officer. Col. v. S. Hsiang, are being
sued in District Court for an &C

While testifying. Nathan was
asked If he knew Mr.. Grunewald.
He said that he had run into him
here in Washington.
The subcommittee investiga-

a flareup among the members
during which Representative
O'Brien. Democrat. Of Illinois,
charged Mr.. DeWind and his staff
with "a great error" in permitting
the Teitelbaum testimony in pub

other proof to back up the charges.
He referred to Mr.. Schoeneman's
record of AZ years in Government

said he had 'lost his wife" This

Reporter Unable to See Him.
After being located in the hos
pital he succeeded in maintaining,
as far as reporters were con-
cerned, the elusiveness associated
with efforts to find him.
The hospital said instructions
had been received that he was to
see no one except members of his
family. A reporter who went to
the hospital in an effort to inter-
view him was told by a woman
who identified herself as Mrs.
Grunewald:
"He is very sick. Nobody but
his family can see him-and no
comment"
Mr.. Grunewald's physician, Dr.
John j. Curry, said his patient
appeared to be suffering from an
acute gastro-intestinal ailment, in
which nervous strain is involved.
However, he said complete di-
agnosis can not be made until
tests are finished early next week.
DR.. Curry said he could not esti-

Chinese Invaders Hall
Northwest Of Hanoi,
French Sources Say
BY the Associc.ed Press

HANOI, Indo- China, April g.
IA French Army source said today
that Chinese invader battalion
was believed to have halted its
march toward Lai Chau, provin-
|cial capital of the Thai tribal
country, ITO miles northwest of
Hanoi.
The source said French patrols,
flown to Lai Chau, had made no
contact with the Chinese. and air
observers had not been able to
spot them.
/ French Army headquarters said
yesterday the Chinese battalion,
probably Communist irregulars,
crossed the frontier April and
headed toward the provincial cap
Iital after seizing the frontier viii
lagos Of Ban Nam Koung and
Phong Tho.
Partisans Reported Returning.
The Chinese. the Army source
said today, had had time to close
in on Lai Chau If they had pur-
sued their southern movement
latter occupying Phong Tho. about
SO miles to the northwest.
Thai partisan soldiers who fled
before the Chinese advance were
reported returning to the border
villages seized by the invaders.
A headquarters spokesman said
the Chinese unit may have turned
the action into hit-and-run af-
fair following the arrival of the
French troops at Lai Chau and
the appearance of French planes
overhead.
Diversion Attempt Expected.
Most observers here agreed with
an army communique calling the
Chinese irregulars, although some
French officers did not discount
the possibility that they were
bandits.
Some observers here believe the
Chinese Reds may be using the
irregulars in an attempt to divert
or further harass French troops
ALREADY fighting the forces of
Communist backed Ho Chi Mini
in Northeast Indo- China.
They noted the invaders may
be the same unit that occupied

a short time and took 81 prison.

A MEMO FROM TIDES SENIOR associate editor,
Elinor Zeigler, in Chicago, went along with some of the
advance copy on the Negro market to the home office: II
think a major point of the story could we'll be the striking
change that has taken place in advertisers and agencies
attitudes toward Negro media since our last story March
Is, 1910. People then tended to talk as though we were
researching a pretty obscure topic about which they knew
little, and they seemed to have only a rather dutiful,
somewhat %grudging interest.
"'NOW THAT is SHARPLY changed, not in all,
but in an impressive number of cases. Important exc
cutives this time showed great interest, asked me what
we had found out about the market, went far out of their
way to stress their personal appreciation of theimportance
of the subject and-in more cases than | can ever re-
member-they took pains to compliment the media on
the progress they had made. They seem to feel that
the buyers and sellers are learning to deal with each other
without prejudice-and that the sooner everybody on both
sides achieves a fair, objective viewpoint, the sooner an
important, neglected potential in advertising can be de-
velOped:'"
