Admit Reds
ssT1FE 6a4s
Seized Men
3 Years Ago

VIENNA R-An Austrian Com.
munist newspaper admitted Mon
day that the Reds arrested the
missing American Field brothers,
Noel and Hermann, who disappear
ed behind the Iron Curtain three
years ago.
Since Noel Field. former State
Department employe, vanished in
Prague in May, 1949, and his
brother Hermann, a Cleveland, p,
architect, disappeared in Warsaw
in August, 1949, one thing has never
been clear:
Were they kidnapped, along with
Noel's German-born wife, Herta,
and his adopted daughter, or did
they flee the West of their own
free will?
The Communists, in their various
"show" trials including the present
accusation of Rudolf Slansky and
others in Prague, always have con-
tended the Fields worked for the
wartime U. S. Office of Strategic
Services and were American spies.
In the West, however, there have
been many suggestions that the
brothers were double agents and
that Noel, especially, worked for
the Soviet Union.
It was over this doubtful point
that the Vienna Red newspaper
Volksstimme today disclosed their
arrest. It was wrong, said the
newspaper, to call the Fields
/ American Communists"
"In reality, neither regarded
themselves as Communists" the
paper explained. "After their ar
rest, the American State Depart
ment voluntarily said they had a
special mission"
In the current Prague trial, the
prosecution has alleged that Sian
sky, former Czech Foreign Minister
Vlado Clements and others were
hired as "imperialist agents" by
the Fields, some Of them as long
ago as 1899.

Reaction To
Comics Shows
What You Are
BY ADELAIDE KrRR

NEW YORK R-Did you ever
wonder what makes you laugh at
a cartoon or a comic strip while
somebody else looks blank?
Kenneth Bird will tell you it's
partly the kind of character you
are. Bird should know He is editor
of ona of the worlds most famous
humor magazines Britain's
Punch. He is also known to its
readers for the drawings signed
FougaSse.
eff you laugh at a good timely
or humorous drawing or strip, you
are one of those who have an in
tense interest in your fellow man
and an affection for him." he said
on a recent visit here. "You are
able to put yourself in his place.
You laugh with him, not at him.
In other words, you're interested
in the man next door.
zone can learn more about L
person and about the people of any
country by studying What they
laugh at than by studying their
politics. You can judge whether
they are domestic, whether they
are cruel or kind. The subjects
they treat in their humor are the
subjects closest to their hearts. /"
But your character is not the
only thing that determines what
you laugh at. The times and the
place you live in have lot to do
with it too.
radio and the talkies had a
tremendous effect on humor," Bird
says. twenty-five years ago peo-
pie got all their amusement from
the printed word. Illustrations were
detailed and captions were long.
Papa used to read it out to the
family. If they didn't catch it the
first time, they could go back over
it till they did.
"With the radio and talkies,
everything became Streamlined.
You soak up impressions quickly.
Humor must make its point on
the wing. In time this had terri
fic effect on humorous drawings.
Contrast those of Is years ago with
James Thurber's barking seal and
you will see what | mean."

Price Trends Seem To Show
Government Halted Initiation

WASHINGION h - "A oendIe-
House committee here said price
controls had been a major factor"
in stopping 'hectic price rises"
after the outbreak of war in Korea.
The joint congressional commit
tee on defense production, In a
report surveying price trends Of
the last two and oue-hah years,
credited governmental action with
a major role in halting rampant"
initiation.
1t cited evidence, however, to
show that initiation still was Seri-
Gus problem to the nations con-
Sumers.
The report was approved last
week at a session Of the joint CON-
mittee, headed by Sen. May0ank
(D-SC).
The report was completed Oct.
%, before the national election, but
a committee staff member said its
release was held up because some
said they could not study it ade-
quately during the campaign.
Price curbs are among the con-
trolls expiring next April 80. One
of the first tasks of the incoming
Republican administration will be
to decide whether to keep or junk
these controls.
The joint committees report
noted that the national economy
has operated under restrictive con-
trolls" for 1S months and added:
During that time significant
progress has been achieved in mo-
bilizing the nations resources for
defense"
1.-TWO years ago." the report con-
tinued, 'the country'S security was
seriously threatened. Inflationary
forces were rampant. The value of
the dollar was dropping rapidly.
Industrial leaders and business
men were gravely concerned. All
were trying to build inventories.
Prices were rising sharply. Con-
Sumers were rushing to beat prices
and shortages and all the time
were being squeezed more and
more by their own actions.
Fortunately, the situation has
vastly changed today. True, we
still face a common foe with the
rest of the free world-the Com.
munist menace.
"But the natien's industrial ca
pacity is greatly expanded. Defense
factories are in high gear. The
domestic economy is far stronger.
People have more money and are
spending it. There is now a good
supply of all important types of
consumer goods available.
"And, foremost, the public'S con-
fidence has been restored.
"This was accomplished by direct
and indirect controls with higher
taxes helping to reduce the con-
Sumer purchasing power with
which to bid up prices.
while price controls alone did
not accomplish the entire job, they
were the major factor in convincing
both business and consumers that
the hectic price rises had been
halted so that indirect controls
could become effective"
The report said the nation has
yet to feel the full impact of the
post-Korean military buildup.

not an Office.
I've recently found it is best
to do my thorough cleaning

weekdays for such things as
ironing, washing slip covers and

I have an automatic washer

wash one load day. I put it
in before breakfast, and it is
ready to hang when the baby
takes her morning nap. I have
no set time for bringing in and
folding the clothes.
I don't iron sheets, pillow

is cooler my 2-year-old has

mattress covered by only a sheet
during hot weather and hang
ing from the Stats bags which
are used to take up the mois-

An electric light bulb secured
to Stats would help, but be more
Of problem to handle. The
ideal solution is probably an

Upon request the Department

chloride of lime. Sorry this is

but any one with the problem
would do we'll to start early

In regard to vacuum cleaners,
have a famous-make upright
which ! keep down stairs and
good tank type which keep
on the second floor. If one is
keeping just one cleaner and
has heavy rugs to clean, I
recommend the upright. It is
much easier to handle and does
a better job on rugs. Tank
