BOND-SERVANTS

There is story going around Washington to the
effect that Truman Administration in spirit of puck
shnesS bequeathed its supply OF thirty MIL
lion S. Savings bearing the signature of former
Secretary of the Treasury John w. Snyder.
1t is true enough that such supply was left on
hand and that the moneyman Secretary George E.
Humphrey promptly signed order validating these bonds
for sale instead of consigning them to the ncineraors
prefer believe this practical Joke but tan
gibe evidence of the Truman that the Fair Deal
would remain in power Mr. Truman had announced, Of
course that ne stepping down - but would help elect
a Charlie Mccarthy to sit on the throne.
The rlaSSuring point of this story is that

sonay and sufficiently devoted to economy officially to
continue the sale of these eXpensve engraved certificates
embellished with his professors name.

CONSUMERS SET THE VALUE

Many housewife often wonders why cut Of
beef off the steer may cost twice much another
There's nothing mysterious about it. however - and
it isn't caused by omnous human connivance 1t the nat
ural and inevitable result of two factors the physical
makeup of tnat steer which do anything about
and the law Of supply and demand which natural law
old as civilization
Take, Tor example, two cuts of beef - fancy steak
and pot roast The steak sells at around ST 90 pound
and the pot roast which equally nutritious sells for
about half that figure The for the disparity in
price is easily explained l000pound steer provides only
about 35 pounds of toppriced steak while it provides
three times much pot roast And the steak generally
held in higher esteem than the pot roast
The upsho is that demand for the steak in relation
to supply is high while in relation to the pot roast
it much lower And that is what determines the price we
pay In the free market, in other words the consumers
themselves, acting set the values This is true
everything in general use

Early In 1947. Marion joined

It was she who was strangled

In 1949. Mr.. Bannister moved
his family to Spokane, Wash,

"Her father seemed to be try

Marion never complained, the

she did not elaborate. Mrs.

On Tuesday, Mrs. Sharpe said.

Warned Of SkiIIfuI
Russian Propaganda
BY the Associated Press

TAMPA, Fla, Nov. 19.-As-

Russia and Japan warned to-
day the Kremlin was directing
a skillful propaganda campaign
everywhere in the free world
designed to create turmoil and
poison minds against Ameri-
cans.
They told newspaper editors
attending the Associated Press
Managing Editors Association
meeting the United States must
maintain eternal vigilance to
keep these campaigns from sue
ceeding.
Robert Eunson, Associated
Press chief of bureau for Japan
and Korea, said the big plum
sought by the Soviets in the Far
East was Japan and It's indus-
tries, but that the Communist
efforts there were unlikely to
succeed.
Mr.. Eunson said loss Of Japan
to the Communists would be
an "unparalled tragedy" and
could "tip the scales of world
power against us for all times" )"

William l.. Ryan, A. P.'s for

some time in Moscow, said the
United States couldn't match
maneuverability Of the Rus
slams. but that I'VE hope to beat
them by exposing them to as
much glare as we can bring to
bear upon them"
Mr.. Eunson and Mr.. Ryan
spoke during a foreign news
workshop session presided over
by Wallace Carroll of the Win
ston-Salem Journal Sentinel.
Mr.. Eunson told the news
paper editors that fortunately
strong forces were ait work to
keep Japan out of the clutches
Of communism.
"One is Japan's own way of
life, which is so dead set against
everything communism stands
for" he said.
Another is the historic
achievement of Gen. Douglas
Macarthur. whose victory with
out vindictivenesS looms greater
with every passing year as tri-
umph of humanity and wisdom.
"And a third IS that the United
States, after getting burned in
China and Korea and in Indo-
China, is-or should be-ready
to take instant and decisive ac-
ton against Communist threats
In Japan"
Says Soviet Fears War.
Mr.. Ryan said that in his opin-
ion the Soviet Union fears war
at this iuncture OF history, and
that when things get too hot In
any area, 1t probably will con-
tinue to pull IN Its norr.s. as it
has been doing.

will have to stand trial for the
strangulation death of her g.
year-old half-sister.
One psychiatrist who examined
the 8O-pound, 15-year-old child
bride at Spring Grove State
Hospital near Baltimore said she
'is mentally Ill and a suicidal
risk"
If that view is upheld by the
Maryland State Board of Mental
Hygiene, it is likely that Marion
will not have to be tried on the
charge of strangling Katherine
Nadine Bannister, with a tea
towel In their home at Twinbrook
Forest. Montgomery County,

She would. instead. be COM
mitted for treatment in one of
Maryland's mental hospitals.

Marion is now being held. in
dicates she is mentally unsound,
he will ask Circuit Court to order
an examination by the State

Confirmation of a mental ILL

Marion, meanwhile, is under
almost constant scrutiny at

She is very depressed, doctors
and nurses report, and is still
