ed person is a man who, while
still in golf clothes, stops in
to a fancy dress shop to pick
up a package for the wife.
OVERHEARD
Overheard in a manhole: 1T
isn't the principle - it's the
prejudice of the thing that
gets mew
ADVICE
And to you girls who would
throw yourself at a man -
don't forget to take very care
full aim.
REGIME
Heard one about an Indian
prince who decreed that no
one was to shoot wild animals
in his country. Soon the
country was overrun with wild
beasts and the people rose up
and overthrew the prince.
This is the first case on rec
ord where the reign was call
ed on account of game!
LOVE
If you want people to love
you, always ask them quest
ions they can answer.
HAPPENING
Cop: How did you happen
to hit this MANI"
Motorist: Il didn't hit him.
l waited for him to cross after
the light changed and he

TAXES
Tax inspector came across
a question as he filled out a
form. Disposition of taxpay-
err" asked the questionable.
The tax man wrote - Very
mean!"
LOGIC
The fox is a willy little ami
NAL because he knows that he
can only be skinned once.
LIVING .-
The most unhappy people in
the world are failures with ul-
GERS.
FACT
A florist is one person who
is firmly rooted in his busi-
ness.
LAW
The Englishman slows
down when he sees a traffic
signal. The American merely
checks his pocket to see II he
has the amount of the fine.
BUSINESS
We suggest that big stim-
ulant for the moving business
could be accomplished if the
movers would build a fine
house in every community IN
the land and give it away.
In this manner thousands up
on thousands of people would
move in a chain reaction even
more expensive than a cobalt
bomb.
DEAD ISSUE
Statisticians estimate that
over a billion dollars per year
are spent on funerals. 1t ap-
pears that the high cost of iiv-
ing is interdependent on the
high cost of dying.
VACATION
Taking the children to the
country for a week can often
turn out to be a narrowing ex-
perience - especially if they
are uncultivated.
MARRIAGE
Father is a busy man.
Whenever he gets daughter
off his hands he has to start
putting son-in-law on his feet
if he can still get off his
knees.
DAFFYNiTIoN
An egotist is a guy who
knows a good thing when he
sees tin a mirror!
AGE
You're getting on, brother,
when you start to pursue
learning and stop trying to
learn pursuing.

Parishioner: "Can / lead a
good Christian life on 80 dol

Reverend: "Son, tn a t S

HAPPINESS
Uncle Willie had lived with
a man and his wife for al
most ten years and many
was the time that the couple
almost split up because of
him. It was a relief when
Uncle Willie died and on the
way home from the cemetery
the husband said, Dearest,
If | had not loved you so
much, could never have put
up with your Uncle Willie"
Wife shrieked, What! Why
all this time I thought he was
YOUR Uncle Willie"

Speaking Of
PUBLIC SAFETY

CURLING the slaughter and de-
struction of traffic accidents re-
quires much more than modern
highways. proper traffic signs,
signals and policing.
What Is needed-if we are to
rid our streets and highways Of
the accident menace - Is better
citizenship behind the wheels Of
motor vehicles.
That Is the considered opinion
Of Edmond c. Powers Of Cleve-
land, o., who for the past nlne
years has made exhaustive studies
of driver and pedestrian behavior
and has conferred with federal,
state, municipal and county Off
cials from all parts Of the country.
THE $500 people killed and
the 2.l40.000 injured last year can
be charged mainly to improper
driver and pedestrian behavior y
he points out.
Its Just plain bad citizenship
behind the wheel to drive too fast
for conditions. fail to yield the
right Of way, drive in the wrong
lane, operate a vehicle in unsafe
mechanical condition, cut in and
out of lanes, crash traffic lights,
fail to signal turns and stops, loaf
in heavy traffic, back recklessly
out Of driyeways, stop or park IN
no parking areas.
Nor is the pedestrian a good
citizen who Jay walks, who bolts
across a street without looking,
who darts into the street between
parked cars, who gets caught in
the middle of a thoroughfare by
failing to look both ways, and who
walks in traffic with improper
vision or hearing.
Nor is it good citizenship ON the
part of parents TO permit young
people to operate motor vehicles
who either temperamentally or
physically are unprepared to cope
with the hazards Of modern traf-
fc.
what the traffic accident prob
lem needs, Powers concludes, is
drivers and pedestrians who are
just as thoughtful and considerate
of their fellowman in traffic as
they are in their homes, churches,
community, social and business
life"

Ma|an Wants Suez Canal
Under International Setup
BY the Assoeioted Press

CAPETOWN, South Africa,
May 5.-Prime Minister Daniel
Malan called today for interna-
tionalization of the Suez Canal
Zone. In his statement to Par
lament he also attacked the
United Nations and India Prime
Minister Nehru.
Mr.. Malan said South Africa
had a particular interest in the
Canal Zone because she had en-
tered into commitments for the
security of the Middle East.
He said it was essential that
the zone be protected by military
bases although not necessarily
as near the canal as the present
British bases, which are on Egyp-
tian soil.
Mr.. Malan advocated setting
up an international commission
to control the strategic area in
peace and war and suggested
Egypt as a member of the COM
mission.
Mr.. Malan charged the United
Nations was interfering in South
Africa both directly and indi.
rectly." He scored what he called
Communist propaganda and said
some of it came from the United
Nations and leads natives to be-
lieve they are oppressed"

his staff could go over them in
advance to make certain no ma
terial had been deleted.
A suggestion for night and
Saturday brought prompt pro-
test from Mr.. elch, who COM
planned that he likes to go
home to Boston on Saturdays
and needs each night to prepare
his case for the following day
But this brought a marsh, re-
joinder from Senator Mccarthy
that this just showed the ex-
tent they (the Army want to
have the hearings delayed"
The subcommittee is investi-
eating the Army's charges that
the Wisconsin Republican and
his aides sought preferential
treatment for Pvt. G. David
Schine, former subcommittee
staff consultant. The Senator has
countercharged the Army was
using Pvt. Schine as a hostage"
to block an investigation of Sc
curity risks at the Army Signal

Physician Reports Foster
Is Unable 10 Stand Trial

NEW YORK. May 5.-A court
appointed physician reported to-
day that William z. Foster, 70,
national chairman of the Com
munist Party, is physically in
capable of standing trial.
Foster is under indictment on
a charge of teaching and advo-
eating violent overthrow of the
Government.
DR.. Henry Alsop Riley sub
mitted the medical report to
Federal Judge Henry w. Cod
dard. The doctor said Foster
suffered from a condition involv-
ing contraction of blood vessels.
Foster was indicted in 1948
with II other members of the
party's national board. but was
granted a severance for health
reasons when trial opened in
1949. The IL other defendants
were convicted and sentenced to
terms up to five years.

familiar solid ground again.
THAT just doesn't seem to me
like the right thing to do" said
Secretary Stevens stubbornly.
Acting Chairman Mundt urged
him lust to peek"
Secretary Stevens, who used to
pride himself on cooperating
with Senators, refused.
Army Counselor Joseph Welch
backed him up.
Senator jackson didn't seem
anxious to read it, either. He
was more interested in finding
out where it came from.
Did the Committee get this
from the Army? Was it sub
poenaed? Is it from the FBI?"
he asked.
Special Committee Counsel
Jenkins, who did read the letter,
said all he knew was that SEN
ator Mccarthy had handed it
to him.
Welch InSiStent.
Army Counsellor WEIGH didn't
go so far as to say it was a pur-
loined letter, but he insisted that
it had not come from the Army
files and he said to Senator
Mccarthy:
II have an absorbing curiosity
to know how in the dickens you
got hold of it,"
Mr.. Welch's burning curiosity
was abated somewhat this morn
ing when a young man from
Mr.. jenkins staff told the COM
mittee that Mr.. Hoover told him
the letter was not a copy of
any F. B. I. document.
When last seen the senatorial
huntsmen were riding hard, GAL
loping over hill and dale in
search of the original. Nobody
knew how far they would go or
when they would be back.

policy on dealing with drunk Of

The Judge even asked one pri-

when he arrived at Occoquan.
This man had asked for re-
lease on his personal bond. But
when Judge Scott looked at the
mans record he noted out loud
that he could send him to Jail
for a year, and added:

In This Extr0-Inninq Game
Potter's Letter Set
Whole Curuvun of
Events Into Motion
By Mary McGrory

Those crazy, mixed-up hear
ings are turning into a paper
chase.
When the hearings are over
II they ever are-no one will be
able to say that the Senators
did not go far enough-or at
least far enough afield---in their
search for truth and exhibits.
They have been all the way from
Nutley, N. j., to Foley Square.
from the Colony Restaurant to
the Stork Club. They have
picked up documentary evidence
at almost every stop.
The Senators are wading hip
deep in monitored telephone
conversations, cropped photo
graphs. stripped files and press
releases that seem to incubate
like rabbits.
For the benefit of any VINO
may have dismounted at Nut
ley, it might be recalled that it
was simple piece of paper that
set the whole caravan in mo-
ton.
Just a Letter.
That was the letter which
Senator Potter wrote to Defense
Secretary Wilson. The junior
Senator from Michigan again
told his colleagues yesterday that
he had only taken pen in hand
ito keep from having spectacle
as We are having now"
Senator Potter's letter, as the
world now knows, did not ac-
compliSh the desired effect. Yes
terday at the hearings, there
was a dizzying exchange of let
ters, not all of which produced
desired effects. either.
The most sensational bit of
correspondence that showed up
was one that Senator Mccarthy
said was copy of a letter writ
ten by FBI Director j. Edgar
Hoover to a Maj. Gen. Boiling
