former head of General Electric.
"When electric power was the
main factor of the proposed seaway,

were other ways to get power. But
navigation and the need for Can

considerations"

HEALTH REPORT

The New York Times European correspondent,
c. L. Sulzberger, calls attention to the fact that
Maurice Thorez and Palmiro Togiatti, leaders re-
spectively of the Communist parties of France and
Italy, presently are in the Soviet Union for their
health. He regards this something more than
coincidence though both of these men are known
to be ILL.,
Neither Mr.. Sulzberger nor anyone else can do
more than guess at the nature and extent of the
treatment in Russia 1t would be safe to surmse that
it includes more than medical After ALL there
are doctors in France and Italy very good Ones too
Presumably leaders of the Communist parties
have to check in at Moscow in person from time to
time but whether for the purpose OF reporting on
conditions at home, being reprimanded or beng
brieed on future revolutionary activity no one knows
This would appear to be the accepted practice and
quite normal for members of the top echeons OF
international Communism The health preIeXt no
matter how valid it may be- therefore seems super
fluous And the cure" does not always work as
Mr. Sulzberger suggests by citing the example OF the
Bulgarian Communist Georgi Dimitrov, the former
head of the Comintern, who returned from one OF
these health" visits in coffin.

On top of this. Wallgren seems
to have forgotten one of the most
courageous battles ever staged by
his friend in the White House
namely, Humans veto of the Kerr
Natural Gas bill.
Vigorous wire pullers for this bill
were Senator Kerr, Oklahoma, and
his silent oil partner, Phillips Pc
troleum. Phillips is now up for in
vestigation by the FPC for un-
necessarily hiking rates to the
state of Wisconsin and the city OF
Detroit. Fear of these high rates
was one reason why Truman vetoed
the Kerr bill But despite this,
Wallgren voted against his old
friend in the White House to side
track the probe.

The investigation of Phillips was
requested by Wisconsin and Detroit
two long years ago. In that year
Phillips paid dividends Of
1877 per cent on common stock and
surplus, but even so, hiked its
rates to northern gas users.

one of the best things Sen. Harry

the ex-senator from Washington
was shunted from the yitally I'M

considered a safe roosting place,

NEW YORK, July II GNS)- Red Skeletons movie bosses have
done right by him in his newest comedy, Excuse My Dust Instead
Of asking him to carry the entire show alone as he had to do in the
past, they've provided him with a good cast and a story that makes
for divefting hot weather entertainment.
The film has turn-of-the-century sets and costumes and, prettly
photographed in Technology, alternates the Shelton antics with some
half a dozen song and dance numbers.
Supporting principals are Sally Forrest, Macdonald Carey and
Monica Lewis, the latter giving an excellent account of herself in her
first screen role, and for a finish there's a n amusing race involving
eight early model horseess carriages.
Reds a smal-town inventor this time, tinkering with one of
the new-fangled gas bugg1es despite the jeers of his fellow citizens.
The only person who beives in him is his best girl, but the romance
is complicated by the fact that her father owns the local livery stable
and wants nothing to do with the mechanical monsters.

And when Red isn't having trouble trying to start his contrap-
ton which runs on ceaningfuid, he runs into difficulties with a
Yale man (CaTey) who buys a more elegant gas buggy than Reds
But comes the day of the big race, and who do you think wins?
In between gags such as Reds setting fire to his barn o II get

rides and a couple of neat bits depicting the machine age to come.

British and French Urge U. S. Not to Allow Feelings

The British and French gov

States not to allow any feelings
Of pride and prestige to enter
the present armistice negotia-
lions at Kaesong. Korea.
They also express their strong
hope that, in the event these
negotiations are successful, the
United States Government will
not make fundamental issues
out Of the seating Of the Chi

Nations and the establishment
of Red sovereignty over For

The State Department is anx-
ious not to weaken the structure
of our alliance with the Western
European nations. and particu-
larly with France and Britain.
But at the same time, it has
gone on record before Congress
with a pledge not to do any,
thing to impair our position In
the Pacific by allowing the Chi
nese Communists to shoot their
way into the United Nations.
There is a growing feeling in
administration quarters that if
an armistice can be concluded
the Communists will insist at
the peace table on being fully
recognized as the complete
masters Of China.
The administrations dilemma
can be solved technically by our
Allies. The question of the Com
