political parties, as well as men
and women, and those with sons
and those without.
Chief reasons offered bv those
who want their sons in politics
are that you always need good
people in politics; that it's part
OF a citizens responsibility to en-
ter politics; that a person can
learn a lot from politics; that
it's not a bad field to work in.
and that somebody has to do it.
Chief objections cited by those
who do not want their sons to
enter politics r that there's too
much graft and corruption in pol
itics; that it's too hard for a
politician to be honest; that thew
dislike politics and politicians:
that they prefer other occupations
for their sons, and that their
sons would be better off working
in other occupations.

ROME, July S tR.-Left-of-

tonic Segni appeared today to
have won his fight to rebuild
the four party center coalition
with which Mario Scelba gov
erned Italy for 16 months.
The scholarly, 64-year-old adj
vocate of land reform, was to re-
port to President Giovanni Gron-
chi by tonight to say whether
he could become Italy's sixth
postwar premier and end the ma
tion's 13-day-old government
crisis.
Mr.. Segni cleared his final
hurdles yesterday and early to-
day in conferences with leaders
of the four center parties that
lasted long after midnight.
After II hours of the talks a
spokesman said officially that
agreement has been reached on
all points" The discussion then
settled down to the selection of
ministers for cabinet posts.
Christian Democrats were ex-
pected to get IA of them, as they
had in Mr.. Scelba's coalition gov
eminent. But some posts were
expected to go to the party's
rightist "concentrazione" group
which forced Mr.. Scelba out.
Social Democrats appeared in
line for four cabinet posts again,
headed by Deputy Premier Giu-
seppe Saragat. The Liberals, who
until last night held out against
rejoining the government. we're
expected to get three posts as
before.

Senator Hennings, Democrat,
of Missouri said today he is
standing pat on a proposed re-
vision of the Federal election
laws despite strong-and pos
sibly fatal - Republican and
Democratic opposition. @a
A bill by Senator Hennings to
raise the expenditures limits on
presidential, Senate and House
campaigns is on the Senate call
endar with approval Of q ma
jority of the Rules Committee.
1t also would require more de-
tailed reporting of campaign
spending than at present.
But Democratic leaders have
delayed action on the measure
in a reported search for a COM
lpromise which would make 1t
more palatable to Southern
Democrats, who oppose what
they term Federal inference in
primary elections.
Republicans have demanded
the bill be amended to prevent
labor organizations from con-
Itributing to campaign funds.
Senator Hennings said he
knows all about these objections
but is going to stick by the main
features of the bill.
"I'm going to stand by the
principles of the bill as 1t was
reported from the committee, y
he said. "Of course, I will be
glad to consider any amend
ments that are, offered but I am
not going to give up on prin-
ciples."
Before it approved the bill, the
Rules Committee struck out q
provision which would make il
unlawful for "any candidate OF
political committee to make any
contribution or expenditures in
connection with any Federal elc-
tion from funds received direct.
Ily or indirectly from a labo,
union, corporation or national
bank"
Republicans have made it clea,
they believe the merger of the
AFL and CIO is likely to ster
up labor's total contributions tc
the Democrats.
Some G. o. P. members con.
tend that about 40 per cent OF
those on organized labor's rolls
belong to their party but are
forced to contribute to union
funds that are used against the
candidates of their choice.

Silent on Action
\ The United States Defense and
Justice Departments so far have
not said what action would be
taken against the men. The de-
partments' last word, in a joint
statement last month, was that
any American prisoner electing
to stay in Red China would be
held accountable "for any wrong
full act he may have commit
ted"
The Indian Red Cross asked
the British Red Cross to meet
the trio when they reached the
border by train from Canton.
An American consulate official
said his Office probably would
not send a car to pick them up
until informed by the border
guards that they had crossed
over. The consulate sent a car
daily to the border for several

announcement, then discon-
tinued 1t when they did not turn

ment of an undetermined

Mr.. Hughes, ordered by Mr..

question, had promised recon-

At this moment, he said, the
city is obligated to spend $140,-
$4,000 to cover funds recently
appropriated by Congress. a $2.78
million pay raise for classified
Government workers as well as
pay raises for municipal judges
and hourly workers. This would
leave a surplus of $114,000.
Pay Increases Cited
Thus, he said. if there is no
further increase in what the Dis
trict must spend this year, the
District will have enough reye-
nues.
However, he pointed out. the
Senate has passed bill which
would increase teachers pay by
$2.47 million. Also, Congress has
been asked to increase the pay
Of police and f1remen.
Mr.. Lowe said that under q
formula proposed by the police
association, the cost would range
between SIS million and SIG
million. Similarly, if they were
granted the same 712 per cent
raise given to classified workers,
the cost would be about SIS
million a year.
If these two measures are
approved before Congress ad-
journs. Mr.. Lowe said, the city
would be at least 81 million in

$50e,000 Loss Pen Year
Other possible congressional
actions. he said, could increase
this. If Congress should exempt
the Capital Transit Co. from the
Districts gross receipts tax, in
settling the present strike, ii
would cost the city nearly $780,

ing the idea of using their owr
authority to increase the real
estate tax. A 10-cent boost in
the present 1920 rate for each
$100 of assessed valuation would
add about $1.9 million a year tc
the city's revenue.
One plan under consideration
by the commissioners is to order
such an increase in the rate and

kelian by Vets on Disability Freeze Pressed by Legion

Permanently and totally dis abled veterans should take inn mediate steps to have their dis ability recorded and verified by the Social Security Administra- tion, Ray Lancaster, Commander of Matanuska Valley Post No. Is of the American Legion here urged today.
 "A 1854 amendment to the So- cial Security Act authorizes a freeze on Social Security credits for those who are unable to con tinue work because of disability, Commander Lancaster said. He explained that this disability freeze acts the same as a waiver of premiums in commercial in Surance.
 Any disabled person has until July 1, 1857, to establish that a disability has existed in the past, as far back as October 1941.
 However, in the event of the death of a disabled person, fail- ure to have applied for the dis ability freeze could deprive sur viving widows and children of Social Security benefits to which they would have otherwise been entitled.
 Except in cases of death and for some persons who are already over the age of 65, this change in the Social Security Law will not mean anything in terms of immediate benefits. However, the new provision will make 1t pos sible for thousands of disabled persons to receive monthly bene- fits at age 65 just as though their work life had not been cut short by disability.
 Commander Lancaster stated that The American Legion Ma tiona1 Child Welfare Commission IS undertaking a national educa- tional effort to inform all dis abled persons, particularly veter- ans, of the importance of the Social Security disability freeze.
 Persons who think they may come under this provision were urged to contact the district off, flee of the Social Security Ad- ninistration, which for this area jS located at Anchorage.

WHAT TREES MEAN TO ME
 By M. ID. SnodoYass

Born in the land of woodlands and prairies, swamps, creeks, and rivers, close by the Great Lakes; something stirs within me when I behold timbered valley walled in by steep mountain side clothed by birch, spruce, hem Lock, poplar, alder and willow, with their ever changing season. al colors of spring, summer and fall and winters mantle of snow. TREES EVERYWHERE! All shades of green!
 Timber - timber everywhere. The memory of Kansas plains was fading out of my mind. Al aska's wooded valleys and noun ta1nsides completely weaned me away from the plains of mid Kansas prairies.
 Trees furnish shelter, materials for building the home, farm bull dings, fuel and windbreaks the parks and plaYgrounds, regulates our temperatures and moisture supply, and builds our soil and gives us life, health and happi- ness. A walk through the forest lifts my soul to contentment In Alaska we are prone to fight the trees. Let's save every tree pos esIh1o tO save and nIanf mora trees wherever possible.
 1 fear that we are wasting our richest heritage of this great nOrthland.
 The trees belong to our chil- dren, and to their children Trees help to replenish our soil, con- serve our wild life, and control our rivers and lakes. We should get along with more trees. I love so see a beautiful tree.
