United States should take
Premier Malenkov at his

was speaking in good faith

The District has an extraor-
dinarily high number of single
girls-but just about as many
single men.
So the city's husband hunting
girls can stop complaining about
a man-shortage. It may be per-
sonality. not statistics, that keeps
a girl from the altar here.
The Census Bureau provided
the statistics today in a study
of the marital status of Ameri-
cans more than IA years old.
The District, according to the
1850 census. has 90,420 single
girls and SO, 087 single men. But
the city's 60,170 widows and di-
vorced women far outnumber
the 1925 widowers and divorced
men.

DE Casper Drafting
Plans 10 Save His
FdItering Regime
BY the Assoeia.ed Press

ROME, July 25.-Prime Minis
ter Alcide De Gasperi retired to
his summer home at nearby
Castel Gandolfo today to plot
possible steps to save his stum-
bling new government.
The tired, 72-year-old premier
will prepare a speech answering
critics who have been tearing
into the pro- Western program he
presented to parliament last
Tuesday.
He plans to deliver the address
before the Chamber of Deputies
next Tuesday in the hope of
staving off defeat in a vote of
confidence scheduled to follow.
His chances at this moment look
slim.
Faces Defeat.
Mr.. De Gasperi left Rome ap-
parently disillusioned over the
turn political events have taken.
In the past few days he has
watched both right and left an
neunce opposition to the new
! government he has formed ex-
clusively from his own majority
Christian Democratic party.
He has also had to listen while
three small center parties, for
merly allies of the Christian
Democrats, attacked both his
cabinet and program.
Although political adjustments
may be made before De Gasperi
comes up for the confidence vote
next week. the way things stand
now he is headed for almost cer-
tain defeat.
The left and right have a total
of 287 Chamber votes. Mr.. De
Gasperi can count on only his
own party's 262.
OF the three small center par
ties, the Democratic Socialists
with 19 and the Republicans with
five have announced they will
abstain.
The Liberals. with IA chamber
seats, have not yet committed
themselves. However, Bruno Viii
labruna, leader of the party, de-
livered one of the strongest anti
government speeches in the
Chamber.

toward agreement on admitting
100000 special-quota immigrants.
On this basis they hope to pass
the bill in the Senate tomor-
row. The House also will act
this week on a bill carrying the
Presidents original request for
100000. If that passes, con-
ferees probably will settle on a
final figure somewhere between
100000 and 100000.
4. Postal Rate Increase-The
fate of this bill is the most un-
certain factor in the adjourn
ment picture, but there are
strong indications Congress will
not stay in session during Au-
gust for that alone, if all other
must" bills are disposed of.
5. Small BuSiness-House and
Senate conferees have agreed on
final terms of the bill to abolish
the RFC and set up Small
Business Administration to make
loans. Conference report will be
submitted to both houses this
week.
6. Rubber-The bill to author
ize disposal of % Government
owned rubber plants has passed
both houses. but confereeS have
not yet settled differences.
!. Agricultural SurpIuses-The
administration request for au-
thority to transfer farm surp1uses
to needy nations has been re-
ported from committee and will
be taken up in the Senate to-
morrow.

for teachers and other employees
of the Board of Education. 1t is
the major measure of a half
dozen bills scheduled for con-
sideration at a District Day
session.
The bill provides a pay raise
OF 10 per cent on the first $4,000
of salary of school employees or
officials, eight per cent on any
salary between $4,000 and $4,000
and six per cent on that portion
of any employees salary above
$4,000.
The cost of this pay raise,
roughly estimated at SIS million,
would be within 1854 District
revenues and obligations, city
officials have assured Congress.
Two bills amend the teacher
leave law. One permits the Board
of Education to pay for the hire
of substitute teachers when the
regular teacher is on leave with
out pay. The other permits the
school board to pay for terminal
leave to school. employees on an
installment basis. when the in

taken this week to get an agree
ment.
Issues Eliminated.
In the meantime, several
treaties of commerce and navi-
cation, which leaders had on the
administration must" list a
week ago, have been ratified by
the Senate.
A number of issues which were
not administration proposals,
but which might have delayed
adjournment, virtually were
eliminated from the picture last
week. These include:
l. The Simpson bill to throw
added tariff projections around
American industry under the re-
ciprocal trade program. The
House defeated this bill, and 1t
is not pending in the Senate.
2. The Bricker Constitutional
Amendment to curb the Presi-
cents treaty making power
When Senator Bricker, Republi-
can. of Ohio, failed to agree with
administration leaders on a COM
promise last week, this issue ap-
peared headed for January ses-
sion.

Senator'S Complain
OF Korea Financing
By Shutting I0Us
BY the Assoeiated Pres,


Senators complained yesterday
that the Korean war has been
financed by a shuffling of IOU's
among Government agencies and
that Congress didn't have much
say about the money.
AS Senator Robertson, Demo-
crat, of Virginia put it:
1--WE have called it a police ac-
ton. 1t cost SIS billion a year
and we did not appropriate it" :"
The situation was explained
at a hearing before the Senate
Appropriations Committee on
foreign aid funds. The testi-
mony, taken some time ago, was
made public yesterday.
To Be Returned in Kind.
Najeeb E. Halaby. deputy as
slstant secretary of defense, said
that a lot of military equipment
was being prepared for shipment
to allies in Europe under the
Mutual Security Program, but
when the Korean war broke out,
much of it was sent to Korea
instead.
Mr.. Halaby explained that the
Army owes the mutual aid pro-
gram the equipment "in kind
to be returned and shipped to
our allies other than Korea"
Senator Thye, Republican, of
Minnesota, added: "At the pres
ent time, Mutual Security has
many IOUs in their possession.
You have been conducting a
little lend-lease operation within
Your entire national defense. In
other words, Mutual Security has
financed the Korean war by
making available the equipment
that Mutual Security should
have had in inventories on the
European continent.
Deliveries Slowed.
Senator Smith, Republican, of
Maine, asked: IF the request
for finances or appropriations
was based on need and the
money appropriated for a large
part of it was transferred to
some other account, has not
that slowed up your progress a
great deal in the mutual security
program as originally planned?"
Mr.. Halaby answered: "It
slowed up the rate of deliveries
far, far more than anyone
wanted. The total production
and the total stocks were not
enough to take care of the Ko-
rean requirements, of the United
States requirements. and of the
Mutual defense assistance re-
quirements
Then to be realistic and hon.
est with the public" said Senator
Smith, would it not be we'll to
separate these accounts and have
Mutual Security do what it was
supposed to do, and let the De-
fense Department do what it is
supposed to do under appropria-
ton designated for the pur-
poses?"
1T seems to me-" she said,
"that we are fooling ourselves
and the public"

OCRACOKES' CHARM
DRAWS MANY TOURISTS

Ocracoke. A good many
people of Washington, D. c., have
discovered the vacation charms
of Ocracoke Island. Several fam
lilies have made the trip by boat
from Washington, D. c., to Nor
folk, and thence by car or bus
to Manteo and Hatteras. Those
with 4-wheel-drive jeeps have
made good use of the Hatteras
Inlet ferry and continued down
the beach or sandy road to Ocra-
coke Village; those without f.
wheel-drives have wisely chosen
to park their cars at Hatteras
and come down with Charlie Nc
Williams on the mailboat and
mailtruck.
In addition to bringing their
jeeps, two of the Washington
families have had sailboats on
Silver Lake Harbor here at Ocra-
coke, and a short stretch of moor
ing space is appropriately dubbed
Washington Cove" Staying al
the Lambert Cottage the past
two weeks were Mr.. and Mrs.
Charles Runyon and children,
John, Nina, and Ann, with their
guests Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Wy
man and daughter, Jane, of
Great Darlington, Massachusetts.
Another Washington family, MIR.
and Mrs. Wymberly Coerr and
children, Susan and Stanton,
spent the two weeks at Wahab
Village Hotel Two family groups
from the National Capital, Mrs.
Charles Owsley and children,
Mary Bett, Keith, Rodney, and
Scott were at Sound Front Inn;
also there were Mr.. and Mrs.
Arthur Lewis of Washington,
D. c.
The advantages of bringing a
4-wheel-drive jeep to the Island
are many-daily trips to the Ocean
Beach, straight across from the
Village, or to Ocracoke Inlet
three miles South, on North six
teen miles to Hatteras Inlet, with
opportunities to see many of the
famous wrecks-the Ghost Ship,
the George A. Wells, en- route, or
to gather shells or climb the
dunes, and the opportunity too
to drive to points of interest in
Ocracoke Village.

ONE GOOD REASON

Now, we know of at least one
reason why there has been con-
sistent ammunition shortage in
Korea during the past several
months. According to Pentagon
records, last years steel strike
created a shortage of ammuni-
ton heavier than so caliber. The
Truman Administration occu-
pied a strange role in the drama
that of trying to prosecute a
war. while at the same time aid
ing and abetting those who were
making the prosecution of that
war doubly difficult.
