Plan To End Global Arms Race; "Big Four" WiU Ask U.N. To Set Up Commission

By MICHAEL FRY PARIS, Dec. !«.—The U.S., Britain, France and Russia

will ask the United Nations tomorrow to set up a commission to work out ways and means of ending the global arms race.

But the commission will have disputes as bitter as ever on ^Very major policy point when it meets. Eight days of

. s e g g | conference among the four nations ended here today, VVrc \ ^ e U.N. political committee will receive a report on

sion tomorrow.

That report will list agree­ment on the setting up of a disarmament commission — but there the agreement stops.

NO NEARER

The parleying has brought the West and Russia no

I nearer on the major points Separating their conflicting disarmament p l a n s . The chief controversy which has not been tfesolved is this: Russia maintains, that atomic weapons must be prohibited immediately. The West -as­sists that atomic weapons can be prohibited only after a rigorous system of control has been set up.

The Assembly President Dr. Luis Padilla Nervo of Mexico , w h o presided as chairman of the talks, said today that the B i g Four had unanimously decided to report tomorrow. He added that

TOKYO, Dec . 10 (Renter) . — Communist P e k i n g Radio tonight dropped a "take it OT leave it" broadcast into the Korea truce ta lks stal led by an argument over h o w t o supervise an armis­t ice if it is reached.

Broadcasting from the Com­munist Chinese capital, the radio said the Al l i e s must choose be­t w e e n neutral inspection of the armistice' enforcement or none.

The Communists have proposed that neutral t eams m a k e sure the cease- f ire i s obeyed, and have instanced countries such as S w e d e n or Communist Poland as acceptable neutrals.

' In\ the Pan Mun J o m negot ia­t ions both s ides refused t o speak before the other had answered quest ions put a w e e k ago. The meet ing lasted only 35 minutes, but the parties agreed to try again today.

The Communists said there ! _ . . _ _ __-_»_»_•« could be no further talks unt i l ] B U R D E N I N K O R E A the A11 ies have agreed on the i neutral inspection team proposal. [

The All ies , on the other hand, have refused to go on w i t h the team talks unless the Communists appoint men to another s u b ­committee to discuss their c o m ­position and duties. They said they would w a i t for a Commun­ist reply tomorrow.

Brig. Gen. Wil l iam Nuckols , United Nat ions briefing officer, refused comment on reports that President Truman is discussing a Korean truce with his staff chiefs today. He said it -was out ­s ide his province.

The Communists promised to refer the prisoner-of-war ques ­tion to their chief delegate, Gen. Nam II —- a reply they have made repeatedly since the A m ­erican proposal a w e e k ago.

AMERICAN REPLY

The American reply to ' the C o m m u n i s t counter-quest ion d e -afoanding an answer on the truce-team issue — also first put seven days ago — was that "the matter is st i l l under act ive considera­tion."

A n application by Mr. Louis Herbert ("Mike") Se l l ey and Mrs. Doris May Hynes for a hotel l icence for the American House w a s adjourned by the Liquor Licensing Authority, s i tt ing in Hamilton magistrates court y e s ­terday, after the Wor. H. Martin Godet, chairman, had said that h e bad received a report from the Pol ice that it w a s a "noisy e s tab­lishment."

A report from Inspector Brown showed that the Pol ice had to intervene inside the premises, Mr. Godet added, and that Saturday nights were a "particularly bad time."

Superintendent Miller, w h o said h e had not seen t h e report, recalled that some t ime ago there had been trouble a t the hotel with servicemen.

Mr. Sel ley. w h o is t h e manager, said that h e had had to call t h e Pol ice to deal with 20 Engl ish servicemen. The reason w h y he had trouble w i t h them was be­cause no adequate patrol was provided to control English servicemen. H e bad appealed to the proper authorities for this to be done and had been told that it w a s not customary to make any particular place out of bounds.

Mr. Se l l ey added that American service patrols walked in and out of such premises and were on call in t h e event of even threatened trouble and dealt accordingly with, their own.

"I have been operating under a l iquor l icence for 12 years," Mr. Se l l ey said, "and I h a v e never had a mark against me."

General, vesterday said that "cer­tain prel iminary steps towards ensuring the return of Mr. David Tucker, M.C.P., and barrister-at-law, to Bermuda," have been taken. He added that this did not necessarily mean that an order of extradition was in the process of being secured.

Tucker is wanted on nine charges involving £7 ,497.

On November 24, the amount involved was £5 ,630 . A warrant was then issued for his arrest.

Since then, four extra charges have been preferred against h im. They al leged thefts from Viola Virgil ( £ 3 6 0 ) , Frances Brown ( £ 1 4 0 ) , Ferley LePoer Mosse ( £ 1 , 0 0 0 ) , and Burnell Arnett Trott ( £ 2 6 7 ) .

Royal Gazette Made Member Of Audit Bureau Of Circulations

The Royal Gazette has been accepted as a member * of the Audit Bureau of Circulations, an

I association of 3,354 leading adver-I tisers, advert is ing agencies, and I publishers in the United States | and Canada. The Royal Gazette

is the only Bermuda newspaper I to hold such a membership, which was granted fo l lowing an intensive circulation audit of th is n e w s -

1 paper by o n e of the Bureau's I auditors, Mr. Earle J. McElroy of

Chicago, earlier this autumn. Mr. Frank J. Starzel, general

] manager of the Associated Press, yesterday cabled The Royal Gazette: "Hearty congratulations your A.B.C. membersh ip , wh ich is a great forward stride."

The fol lowing bullet in has I been released by the A.B.C. to the principal advertising agencies

i and others interested in the n e w s -| paper business in the United I States and Canada:

CHICAGO. — Announcement was made here today that the 123-

year-old Royal Gazette of Hami l ­ton, Bermuda, has been elected to membership in the Audi t Bureau of Circulations, an association of 3,354 leading advertisers, adver­tising agencies, and publishers, in the United States and Canada.

The Royal Gazette is the only Bermuda newspaper to hold a membership in this association. The announcement was made fo l lowing the complet ion of an i n ­tensive circulation audit of the newspaper by A.B.C. auditor, Earle J. McElroy, Chicago.

This Bureau, a l though not w ide ly k n o w n to the general public, is recognised by authori­t ies on the progress of American business as having played a major part in the growth and success of modern merchandising.

Like many other things, A.B.C. w a s born out of necessity at a time w b e n publishers of n e w s ­papers and periodicals had no general ly accepted or stan­dardized means of te l l ing adver­

tisers about their circulation. There were no standards for c ir­culation values .

Likewise , there was no standard method of accounting for or auditing the circulation that pub­l ishers claimed. The honest pub­lisher w h o c la imed 50,000 was at a distinct disadvantage in meet ing the c laims of a competitor w h o might c laim 75,000 but actually have o n l y 25,000.

In addition to audited figures, the advertisers "began to ask for more information concerning c ir ­culations. Who reads the p u b ­lication? Where does it-go? H o w | much do people pay for it? The j answers to these and other ques - j t ions, of course, have an i m ­portant bearing on the publica­tion's value to advertisers.

PCRTOOJKEIINGUAGE I INTERPRETERS NEEDED

Assembly Agree To Three For Use In Courts

Assemblymen agreed in the House of Assemblv yesterday t o nass the second reading of a bill which wi l l empower the Gover-*;] nor to appoint not more than three people who are wi l l ing and able to act as Portuguese inter ­preters in proceedings before the courts and other public authori ­t ies .

A n official Portuguese inter ­preter wil l b e paid an annual r e ­taining fee not exceeding £ 2 5 .

S ta t ing that he was not e n ­quiring w h o t h e interpreters would be, Mr. E. H. Barnes w o n ­dered if it would be necessary t o brina someone in to t h e Islands t o act as an interpreter in t h e l a n ­guage. From what h e had read in the press the Chief Justice had complained about the quality or interpretation available.

Someth ing should be tacked on to the bill t o ensure that t h e ser­vices of t h e interpreter w e r e paid for by t h e Portuguese , c la imed Mr. H. T. North .

"Some of the Portuguese l a b ­ourers in t h e Colony are g iv ing a great deal of trouble. The Colony should not have t o pay the expenses of an interpreter," he said.

Suggest ing that most of t h e trouble into whicn the Portuguese landed was their o w n fault, Mr. North exc la imed:

"In many cases t h e y should have been sent out of t h e Colony. Instead t h e y are jus t drift ing around."

During low water or when there are strong winds the master of the Queen of Ber­muda, Captain Leslie Ban-yard, is caused much anxiety upon entering or leaving Hamilton Harbour in the a r e a between Dundonald Channel a n d Two Rock . Passage. He ig of the opinion that there is less water than the charts indicate and has recommended that the area be deepened to 30 feet and that the passage be widened at Frazer Shoal.

Yesterday the House of Assem-* bly received from the Governor a message which forwarded a minute from the Director ot Pub-**," l ie Works concerning dredging operations between T w o Rock Passage and Dundonald Channel. The Director's letter was accom­panied by a letter from Messrs. Watlington and Conyers, local agents for the Furness-Bermuda Line.

SANCTION NEEDED

In his letter the Director, Mr-Cyril Smith, states that the Board of Publ ic Works is of the opinion that the dredging should be car­ried out but, since the work i n ­cluded widening the channel, it had been advised that leg is lat ive sanction should be obtained.

In the meantime, the dredger Lord Cochrane w a s removing s i l t to a depth of 30 feet within the ex is t ing channel in the portion where the Queen of Bermuda made the turn to l ine up for Two Rock Passage.

"With regard to the widening at Frazer Shoal, it is recom­mended that the channel be widened from nothing at T w o Rock Passage to 150 feet at No. 44 buoy, making the channel 500 l'eet at this point. Tbe estimate

j for this is s ix months," writes Mr. ! Smith.

The carrying out of the work I would not interfere wi th the com­pletion of the Town Cut Channel at St. George's, s ince there was

i now no more dredgeable rock to be removed from the channel and

j progress depended on the rock-breaker. The Lord Cochrane .

[ would be moved to the Town Cut whenever needed to dredge broken rock, adds Mr. Smith.'

The letter from Watlington and Conyers recalls that, on May 8, 1950, the firm applied to the Board of Trade for the deepening of the channel which passed through the area between Dun­donald Channel and Two Rock

| Passage, and that the passage be | widened at Frazer Shoal.

BACKED BY BOARD

On August 29, 1950, the c o m ­pany's letter was acknowledged and it was stated that the Board of Trade was prepared to r e c o m ­mend that dredging be carried

The amendment a l lows the -re****-* v i s ing tribunal t o strike from tiie

OUR BUSINESS-AND YOURS!

For a number of years The Royal Gazette has been stead­ily working toward member­ship of the Audit Bureau of Circulations — the body which, in the United States and Canada, checks and double - checks newspapers' circulation claims and then makes the facts public in a report — should the newspa­pers concerned pass the rigor­ous auditing qualifications imposed on all A-B.C. mem­bers. We have just been noti­fied that this newspaper and The Sunday Royal Gazette have been accepted into mem­bership of the AJB.C. To the general public, no doubt, this fact will mean little. It is our belief — as it is our hope — that advertisers and those who do business with us will regard it as guaranteeing the authenticity of any claims we may make as to circulation. The announcement of our membership by the Audit Bureau of Circulations points out the impelling reasons that called that organisation into being. In brief, the Bureau safeguards the advertiser against fictitious and inflated circulation claims. It sets a standard which has been ac­cepted by leading newspapers and magazines in the United

. States and Canada. It pro­vides a check against indi­vidual publishers' interpreta­tions as to what constitutes circulation; interpretations that vary widely and in many cases are limited only by the capacity for imagination of the newspaper concerned.

How despicable is it for a newspaper to campaign for more ethical business methods in its particular community if it is unwilling to undergo severe and impartial examina­tion of any claims it may make as to its own way of doing business? The policy framed for The Royal Gazette has en­deavoured to take account of the public nature of its busi­ness. We have nothing to hide. We have no de­sire to deceive. This we con-

' ceive to be sound mercantile practice, as helpful to us as it is to those with whom we do business. It is only on a firm basis of mutual understand­ing and integrity that lasting associations can be formed. There is nothing philanthropic about our attitude; it is sound commonsense.

We have alluded to the ex­ceedingly strict rules laid down by the Audit Bureau of "Circulations for membership. As one indication of the rigor-ousness with which it defines net paid circulation, for in­stance we might point out that bulk sales -of newspapers to hotels for sale or distribution amongst their guests are ex­cluded. But in a community like Bermuda, a newspaper's circulation in hotels is ob­viously something in which an advertiser is vitally interested. The Royal Gazette is sold in considerable numbers in the hotels and this business, in fact, forms a substantial part of our gross circulation. The report preDared by A.B.C. in our case classifies these sales as well as others, se that ad­vertisers may know precisely "what types of circulation are achieved. This independent report is available to our ad­vertisers, and to any others who mav be interested. We

A mighty pleasant entertain­ment yesterday. For I did call at a home whore, a few days before, the young hopeful had celebrated his third birthday. So it fell out that as we sat on the lawn in the beautiful sunshine, this now aged-child did rehearse the events of the occasion.

First he showed us his gifts. This was from one pal, tints from another — and he remembered the* names of each donor though some of the names — especially 'Jacqueline', tried his articulation. He also demonstrated each toy (mayhap toy is the wrong word in these days when children are given miniature trains, derricks, airplanes and the like) bat he manipulated the derrick In a man­ner that proves he will be putting a bull-dozer to shame very soon.

But more was to come. He be­came the host of the original party. "Would you like a little ice­cream?" he would ask. And without waiting for an answer he proceeded to a near-by bush and painstakingly plucked a leaf. This we had to pretend was ice-cream, and I added to his delight by de­claring it was too cold for toe to swallow. "Would you like a bit of birthday cake?" he asked. We would. And so he went through the whole of the original birthday celebration and at the finish he promised to drive me back home in his taxi.

So a useful lesson learned on what effect a grown-up person has on a child's mind. Would that all grown-ups would realise their grave responsibilities.

* * * Some talk with an old young

friend and I find him despondent. He had joined a firm determined

to make good but was disap­pointed at the result. "Getting nowhere," he complained. And I was foolish to advise him to stick to it. "Keep your nose to tte grindstone," I said fatuously. "Oh I know all about that," he replied peevishly. "But which do. yon think will wear out first — my nose or my boss's grindstone?"

So I realised that the worst vice of all is advice.

Rereading the old story told by Gilbert in connection with the production of Pinafore. When in America Gilbert was approached by a noted American producer who begged for an alteration in the words. "We will make a kill­ing," he predicted, "if you will alter Bobstay's song and l e t him remain an American instead of an Englishman, Also change 'H.M.S.' to U.S.S.,* hoist the Stars • and Stripes, and anchor off Jersey Beach."

Gilbert pleaded inability to write American and to prove this he improvised this example:

He is Ameri-can Though he himself has said it 'Tis not much to his credit, That he is Ameri-can! For he might have been a

Dutchman, An Irish, Scotch, or such man, Or perhaps an Englishman! But in spite of hanky-panky He remains a true-born Yankee, A cute Ameri-can. The American producer was de­

lighted. They would make a for­tune overnight. But Gilbert was obdurate and refused to alter his classic.

Unconfirmed reports to Man­ila said toat 188 of Caminuin's volcano refugees were killed when the typhoon slammed across the central Phil ippines.

Furious rains washed boulders down the slopes of the erupting volcano which last week caused the death of 266 persons and rendered thousands of others homeless.

The Editor, Royal Gazette Sirt-

A week or two ago I wrote you a letter, which you kindly pub­lished, in which I stated toat I had undertaken personally to arrange all business matters in connection with the departure of Rev. David Evans, and his family.

I did this Wito Mr. Evans' con­currence and he was grateful for my help.

I am sure that noboby would wish me to publish the details.

Bermuda is a generous com­munity when necessity arises, and this case proved no excep­tion.

The fund which was opened at toe Bank received £447. 7. 2.

Assistance came from other sources and i n other ways.

The Parish Vestry, the Church Society and the public, all, in my opinion, did their share.

The Evans family wfll arrive in England wito everything which they wanted to take wito them. They wlil leave nothing here which has not been attended tb. They will - leave nothing here to meet their requirements for a few months.

If you would publish this second and last letter I shall appreciate it.

Change In Duty On Cycles And Auxiliary Cycles

Imports of bicycles and auxili­ary bicycles and their spart parts will bear a five per cent ad valorem tax, when the source is within the British Empire, and five per cent ad valorem plus a surtax of 25 per cent from coun­tries outside the preferential tar­iff region, under a change in the Customs tariff passed by the As­sembly yesterday.

The House agreed to the amendment proposed by Mr. Ernest Vesey, chairman of the Finance Committee.

At the present time, Mr. Vesey told the Assemblymen, bicycles and auxiliary bicycles paid a specific duty of 5s. on each ma­chine from Empire sources and 5s. plus a 25 per cent surtax from other countries.

"It means that a bicycle or auxiliary bicycle can come in at 5s. but a spare part, such as a tyre, is charged 15 per cent ad valorem from Empire sources and 17x/2 per cent from other sources. The spare parts and tyres of mo­tor cars and auto-bicycles are charged 10 per cent ad valorem," explained Mr. Vesey.

"It was felt that it would be better to make the duty on bi­cycles and auxiliary bicycles, in­cluding spare parts and tyres, 5 per cent ad valorem."

The House passed the relevant bill, tbe Customs Tariff Act, 1951.

Yesterday the House of As­sembly received a request from tbe secretary of the Corps com­mittee, Mr. Robert Fountain, ior a supplementary grant of £100. The Corps was voted £1,500 for tbis year.

Scottish Terrier Authority Dies In Milwaukee

MILWAUKEE, Wisconsin, Dec. 10 (Reuter). — l b s Marie Adler Stone, one of tbe .world's leading authorities on the Scottish terrier, died last night after a' long illness aged 53.

Mrs. Stone, owner of Kinclaven Kennels, was recognised as an authority throughout the United States and in toe United King­dom. She was a native of Mil­waukee.

WASHINGTOH, December If (Reuter). — Mr. James Webb, under-secretary of State, on toe advice of doctors, has asked President Truman to accept his resignation as soon as convenient, reliable sources said.

It is thought that Mr. Webb, who has had many years Gov­ernment service, must have a long rest. He may be succeeded hi toe new year by Mr. David Bruce, U. S. ambassador to France. Mr. Webb had pneumonia several months ago.

Mr. Dean Rusk, assistant Sec­retary of Slate for Far Eastern Affairs, resigned from the State Department recently.

In some quarters it is believed that other assistant secretaries of State intend resigning next year.

CAR TURNS OVER ON ITS SIDE; DRIVER IS CUT-A Devonshire resident, Mr.

James O'Neill, and his young daughter Jacqueline, aged five, had a lucky escape from serious injury yesterday evening.

As Mr. O'Neill was driving his car eastward along t t e South Shore Road, between Warwick Camp and "Southlands," toe inside WtePli** of toe vehicle mounted a banking. T t e car toppled over on to its right side. The driver received a slight cut on t t e top of his head for which he received treatment at toe King Edward Memorial Hospital, White his daughter escaped injury completely.

Three bottles of milk which were in tbe car were undamaged.

This was the first purpose of diplomacy.

Mr. Eden, speaking at a lunch of the Canadian Chamber of Commerce here, said that in an international conference the thing to do was not to score off the other man but to leave bim with toe impression that he had got his way when you really got yours.

"We want to negotiate a lasting peace on the basis of live and let live," te said. "Every country should be entitled to choose its own form of Government arid its own way of Hte."

CANADA'S INSPIRATION Mr. .Eden cited Canada's

"inspiration of and support for" t t e North Atlantic Treaty Organisation as a sure sign that the Atlantic Pact had no aggres­sive designs.

Stressing the essentially defen­sive nature of tbe alliance, toe Foreign Secretary noted that t t e original impulse for toe pact had come largely from Canada, and added that-Canada now was tak­ing a prominent role in discus­sions on toe non-military side of the treaty. .

Mr. Eden said Britain and Canada had much to offer each otter and much in .common — in foreign affairs, "instinctively and by tradition we seek the same things."

NEW CITIZENS On immigration, be noted that

Britain supplied about 17 per cent of toe new citizens going to Canada. He wished the percent­age of this movement "within tbe family" wane a little higher, and added that toe subject might well prove a fruitful source of dis­cussions between the two govern­ments.

Canada, Mr. Eden said, stood "only at the beginning of many and brilliant adventures." To a visitor the opportunities for development seemed unlimited, and te hoped Britain might - be able to take part ia that develop­ment, "although we know the difficulties,"

Mr. Lester Pearson, the Cana­dian External Affairs Minister, replying, spoke of Canada's essentially dual nature in relation to the Commonwealth and United States.

"We have formed a triangle, and Canada is proud to be one of j toe sides, even if it is toe smallest site," he said.

Larger production, enables pro­ducers to operate at reduced unit costs, passing t t e saving along to the consumer. Larger prod^tion* also provides more employ^rent

There is no place for waste or guesswork in modern business. This applies to toe purchase of

She really told me! When I met my neighbor at the

'soup at least three times a \ week. Not just ordinary vege-. table soup, but a mixture of more than a dozen fresh, gar-

thours to buy and prepare so many vegetables!" '. She beamed. "Hours? Of course not, it takes just minutes . . . with Campbell's Vegetable Soup!

CADET CORPS TO COME UNDER FORCES BOARD

In the interests of efficiency and because it would prove more con­venient, the Hon. W. W. Davidson, tbe Colonial Treasurer, asked the House of Assembly yesterday afternoon to agree to transfer the administration of _ the Bermuda Cadet Corps from the Cadet Corps committee to the Local Forces Board.

The bill, entitled The Bermuda

Cadet Corps (Administration) Act, passed second reading.

Explaining the purpose of the bill, Mr. Davidson pointed out that it was not implied the Cadet Corps committee had not done a good job. In tact their work had been excellent, but it was thought tint it would be more convenient and lead to more efficiency it the ad­ministration was transferred to tiie Local Forces Board. He un­derstood that many'years ago the Cadet Corps was managed by the old Bermuda Volunteer 'Forces Association, and that was found to be a very satisfactory arrange­ment.

SOME AGREEMENT Dr. Padilla Nervo said. "Des­

pite disagreement on a number of matters of major importance in the ..two proposals, it is clear that there is some agreement on a number of aspects of the t w o programmes.

"The discussions of the sub­committee appeared to be helpful in widening the areas of agree­ment on some points of tbe two proposals."

Dr. Padilla Nervo said the at­mosphere among tbe Big Four was one of "cordiality and good­will."

The report would survey areas of agreement, possible agreement and disagreement, wbich bad been disclosed.

There still existed "wide diver-encies of points of view on im-

, ojt-Mft issues," be added. He' was sure the Big Four re**

and port would have "serious great consequences."

But Dr. Padilla Nervo repeated a statement wbich he issued on Saturday denying reports that the Big Four had agreed cm immed­iate prohibition of the atomic bomb.

NO RECOMMENRATIONS The report would contain no

recommendations, because tne Eig Fo«r had not been asked to submit recommendations, he add­ed.

The four representatives* — Foreign Minister Andrei Vishin­sky ot Russia, Mr. Selwyn Lloyd of Britain, Dr. Philip C. Jessup of the United States ,and BL Jules Moch of France — worked throughout lunch-time to com­plete tbeir report, based on a draft prepared by Dr. Padilla Nervo during the weekend.

They had sandwiches and coffee brought to them while they talked. -.

, S o m e r s e t Sacred Flame," produced this week in the Bermuda Theatre

' Series at the Bermudiana Theatre, is a fine piece of weak—a strong idea, poignantly developed, and emotionally 'gripping.

It misses being a masterwork op several counts. Its ethics are questionable. It has been hailed as a "true tragedy,""but it is hard­ly that, at any rate in the classical sense of showing the nobler ele­ments in man's nature strength­ened by suffering. In fact, as is the modern manner, it concerns itself only witb the immediate re­actions of the characters to what happens, and except in two cases, leaves you with little indication of the ultimate effects. It is also a little static here and there, and the reflective elements tend to predominate somewhat over tbe action.

On the other hand, as a story it is first rate, and the develop­ment and presentation are superb. The mind of the serious thinker and the hand of the consummate literary craftsman are everywhere evident. The theme is. that of personal relationships between men and women, but there is none of tbat easy and flippant application of a cynical formula which has become almost a standard treatment of it in modern plays.,. Maurice Tabret, a I permanent invalid as the result of a flying accident, is surrounded by ] devoted friends. His wife Stella, however, has been conducting a secret affair with his brother Colin, while his nurse, Nurse Wayland, has herself fallen in love witb -him. His mother is aware of aB these currents. Ibis is the situation when the play opens, and no time is lost in stating the relationships, classes. and tensions that work up into tbe central situation—the forced gaiety of the invalid, breaking down when he is alone with his wife; the latter'* embarrassment and distress in her ambiguous positions; the suppressed feelings of tbe nurse. i-M:%

Then Maurice dies in the night. I h e doctor friend of the family is prepared to sign tbe death certifi­cate; but the nurse's anguish over­comes ber. Sbe reveals that death was not due to natural causes, and makes an accusation. The de­nouement is adroitly handled, the , solution is an unexpected one, yet j clues are given, and it is in no way improbable or strained. The characters are skilfully drawn, and dialogue, though somewhat diffuse, is natural and convincing. It is in the construction that the greatest skill is evident; tbe various revelations and climatic

fully timed to maintain the inten­sity, and enhance the emotional effect.

The play was given a thought­ful and competent rendering by the company, and if it has to be said tbat the work seemed to call for actors of greater maturity that is no reflection on the powers of these players. Skill, which they by no means lack, and a flair for dramatic expression can be ac­quired and developed by study and practice, but maturity is something for which you have to wait, and if some of than did not quite plumb the depths or realise all the possibilities of these char­acters, that is a matter that time will remedy." The long speeches and stationary poses of this play are not the easiest of matters to deal with effectively, and in the main they were successfully handled, though there was some first-night hesitation.

One of the best performances was that of Kate Reid, wbo is showing herself a versatile and promising actress, as the mother. Her make-up and dress did not disguise tbe fact that Miss Reid is still a young lady. But sbe contributed - a carefully studied and modelled portrayal of the character; the slight stiffenings and facial changes by which she betrayed her inward perturbation through her outward calm, at moments of revelation and crisis, were particularly Well done. Ex­cellent too was Katherine Haw-trey as the nurse, conveying her pent up emotions and anguish of mind with marked ability.

Philip Pruneau brought out well toe contrast between the real and the assumed feelings of t t e invalid, and his painful emotional scene with Anna Cameron, as his wife, was bandied with com­mendable delicacy and natural­ness by both. Ron Bailey was a dignified family doctor, and Paul LaBossiere a distinguished family friend, while the somewhat colourless part of the brother, Colin, was made acceptable by Alan Shayne.

Deepening And Widening Of Part Of Channel Into Hamilton Is Recommended

Coatinu.. from Pige 1 Frazer Shoal) by Captain Ban-yard.

"We understand that no pro­vision was made to carry out this work and we would be most grate­ful if the matter could be con­sidered by the proper authority and a decision reached as to when this improvement in the channel could be implemented," the letter states.

Invariably the Queen of Ber­muda took a sheer, particularly when passing buoy No. 100. Such a sheer was experienced on March 6, 1950, when the liner fouled No. 45 buoy, the letter adds.

Problems Ear Truman If Truce Talks Fail

Continue- from Paf* 1 deadline. If a truce fails, two questions face President Truman urgently:

What sort of full-scale war will be resumed in Korea after December 27?

Will the present restrictions and ground rules limiting the activities and targets of the Allies be lifted?

In view of -the build-up in the Communist air strength, it is expected that after December 27 President Truman may be pres­sed to authorise bombing of the Reds' Manchurian sanctuary.

Australian Davis Cup Captain Brands Seixas As Foot-Faulter

MELBOURNE, Australia, Dec. 10 (IP).—Harry Hopman, non-play­ing captain of the Australian Davis Cup tennis team, is making a determined effort to brand Vic Seixas of Philadelphia as a habitual foot-faulter in advance of the probably challenge round between the United States and Australia later this month.

As it now seems almost cer­tain Seixas will occupy one American singles berth, Hopman apparently is trying to worry the Philadelphian • and, at "lie same time, plant several seeds of doubt jn the mi.nds of fhe potential foot-fault judges.

As full-time tennis writer for The Melbourne Herald, Hopman has been in a fine spot to con­duct a war of nerves. He began accusing Seixas of swinging his right leg over the l ine ' S i r ing the New South Wales tourna­ment at Sydney, and has plugged away at it fairly steadily ever since.

To put it mildly, .members of the American team think Harry is hitting below the belt. Frank Shields, U.S. non-playing capt­ain, thinks it 's a good sign, though.

"-GOT HIM WORRIED" " When Harry resorts to such

tactics a s this I think it indicates only that we've got him worried," said Shields. "I think our chances for winning the cup have im­proved 100 per ceht since we arrived in Australia.*'

Commenting on Seixas* semi­final match with Frank Sedgman in t t e . 'Victorian tournament, Hopman wrote:

"Several older players and officials who took the trouble to take up positions where they could judge, consider that Seixas foot-faulted a number of times. Seixas was not called once •fyrring the match but that does not prove he .was not foot-

faulting. Far too few of pur p re ­sent linesmen have had any ex­perience judging foot-faults. Tew have the courage to starid up to the reaction Of some play­ers when a foot-fault is called, and sometimes to the abuse of the gallery."

Hopman has agreed to cease his newspaper work from now until after the challenge round.

For his part, Seixas says it is all a lot of bunk. "I've never been known as a foot-faulter. Sure, every player will foot-fault now and then, but I do it no more often than the others," be said.

DO OWN EXPER1TNG Knowing Hopman had planted

his experts to study Seixas against Sedgman, coaches Jack Kramer and Ted Schrbeder of the American team also sat os­tentatiously on a bench on the side of the court and did their own experting.

Their verdict was that it would take a photo finish camera to detect whether Seixas' foot crosses the line before he hits the ball.

"Even if it does, it gives no advantage," Kramer said. "It's just his way of serving. Hopman has plenty of nerve to appoint himself as a judge ef the matter. He would look a lot better if he left t t to the linesmen."

Kramer also pointed out that Shields or Seixas will have the right to request the withdrawal of any • linesman or foot-fault judge whom they decide is pre­judiced.

GAVILAN-HUMEZ TITLE BOUT SEEN POSSIBLE

N.Y. Adopt 8-Second Rule; Turner Named For Award

SEDGMAN BEATS SAVITT I BOBBY LOWE, BASEBALL IOR VICTORIAN TITLE STAR, DIES; AGED 83

Aussie Ace Wins In 3 Sets; U.S. Name Davis Cup Team

MELBOURNE, Australia, Dec. 10 (JP) — 'Frank Sedgman won the Victorian tennis champion­ship today with a one-sided vic­tory over Dick Savitt, and im­mediately following this set-back captain Frank Shields of the American Davis Cup team named Ted Schroeder and Tony Trabert to play singles against Sweden in the interzone final starting Thursday.

In all likelihood, Savitt lost his chance for a singles berth wben he went down before the Aussie ace in only fifty^-eight seconds by scores of 8-6, 6-0, 6-4. Sedgman was at his very best in walloping the Orange, N J . , star.

Savitt, after gaining a 5-2 lead hi the opening set, came almost completely apart and lost twelve ot mme next thirteen games as Sedgman raced through the second set at love.

The match was delayed for about an hour by rain squalls and showers fell intermittently throughout •

WEARS SPIKED SHOES

This didn't seem to bother either player but in the first set Sedgman asked for, and received, permission to wear spiked shoes. From then on tbe Aussie was boss.

fh. the opening singles tilt on Thursday, Trabert, the Cincinnati sailor, wfll oppose Sven David­sson, Sweden's No. 2 player. Then the 30-year-old -Schroeder, from La Crescenta, Calif., will tangle Lennart Bergelin, a gent who hasn't lost a set In Davis Cup play in the past two years.

Neither side wfll announce its pairings for Friday's doubles un­til -1wenty-four hours before the mateh.

•The naming of Schroeder and Trabert to play singles comes as somewhat of a surprise, as these two also are expected to form Uncle Sam's doubles team. And, overlooked -for a starting assign­ment is Philadelphia's Vic Seixas, recent winner of the New South Wales tourney.

DETROIT, Dec. U) (JP) — Robert L. Lowe, former major league baseball player, died on Saturday a t the age of 83. He was the first of four men in baseball history to hit four home runs in a regulation nine-inning game.

Bobby . Lowe joined the Bos­ton Nationals in 1890 and re­mained .with tbe team through 1901. It won five pennants in that period, in 1891, 1892. 1893, 1897 and 1898. He played in the outfield, third base and second base at various times.

The Boston infield in 1897 .and 1898 was one of the game's great­est. J immy Collins is often named by experts as the everlasting No. 1 third baseman. Herman (Dutch) Long is ranked by old-timers a s next to Honus Wagner among shortstops. -And only Hal Chase and George Sisler are generally considered superior to Frank Tenney as defensive first base­man.

Lowe hit his four home runs on the afternoon of Memorial Day, 1894, in the second of two games played against Cincinnati on the old Congress Street grounds in Boston. Boston won the morning game and Bobby celebrated by treating his wife t o a fish dinner at the North Bos­ton railroad station.

When he came to bat in the first inning In the afternoon h e was still feeling the effects of the generous meal and was an easy out.

TWICE IN INNING

First up in the third inning, he smacked the ball over the left-field fence, and repeated tbe stunt when a prolonged rally brought him to the plate for the second time that inning.

. He h i t his third and fourth homers, also over the left-field fence, in the fifth and sixth in.n-ings, aad ended with a single in the eighth. After his fourth hom­er, 'the fans tossed $160 In coins onto the diamond. Boston won the game. 20 to 11.

1902, when FraJik Selee, the Boston manager, went to Chicago, Lowe went with him as second baseman and captain, and it was an injury to Mm the next year that gave Johnny Evers his chance to win the second base position for the cubs.

Released on account of his in­jury, Lowe was With Detroit during the next four seasons and, in 1907, under Hugh Jennings, was a teammate of Ty Cobb and

-Sam Crawford. Lowe's feat of hitting four

home ru.ns in one game was dup­licated in 1896 by EdDelahan ty af the Phillies, but after that thirty-six years elapsed before it was done again, When Lou Gehrig of the Yankees did it against the Athletics in Philadelphia. Gil Hodges of the Brooklyn Dodgers tied the record last -year.

NEW YORK, Dec. 10 — Nego­tiations for an international rin? battle which would clear title to the world welterweight boxing championship, have been launch­ed by the International Boxing Chris, at the suggestion of the New 'York State Athletic Com­mission.

The goal is a meeting between Kid Gavilan of Cuba, recoenised as champion in the United States, and Charles Humez, Freneh boxer who holds the European crown.

A request from the European Boxing Union, addressed to Robert K. Christenberry, com­mission chairman, together with a message to Abe Greene, Nation­al Boxing Association chairman, led to a discussion between Chris­tenberry and matchmaker Al .Weill of tbe I.B.C, at which tiie latter agreed to seek the match.

Weill's first move was a con­ference with Angel Lopez Qavi-' lan's manaeer. Before this con­ference, Gavilan indicated he Would be agreeable to a bout with Humez, only-if the bout was held here. Humez is adverse to an in­troductory bout in the United States, as was suggested .by the I.B.C, insisting he would come here only for a meeting with Gavilan.

EIGHT-SECOND COUNT Effective December 15, the

Commission ruled, boxers knock­ed down in bouts in New York

-State must take a minimum count of eight seconds before resuming action.

The eight-second rule long has been in force in several N.B.A. boxing centres. It is designed to protect a boxer who is knocked

.down from rushing too quickly back into action.

In announcing adoption of the rale, Christenberry emphasized that boxers who slipped, fell off balance or were pushed down, would face disqualification if they did not rise immediately. I t was pointed out that the eight-second rule would be waived in championship battles.

Gil Turner, undefeated Phil­adelphia welterweight, has been named for the rookie-of-the-year boxing award by the Boxing Writers" Association.

The presentation, along with that of tiie Edward J. Neil plaque to Jersey Joe Walcott as out­standing boxer of the year, and the James J. Walker Memorial plaque to Col. Edward P. E. Eaga.n for outstanding serviee to boxing through the years, will be made at the writer's annual din­ner in. the Waldorf Astoria Jan­uary 17, it was announced by Nat Fleischer, who has been r e ­elected president.

EAST LANSING, Mich., (AP) —Four members of tbe .Michigan State football team also are track and field performers. End Bob Carey is the Big Ten shot put champ, guard Don Schwies-swohl is also a shot putter; safe­ty man Art Ingram is a dashman and defensive back Harlan Ben­jamin is a hurdler.

when Mr. Vesey observed that it was strange the name of the per­son appointed to be commandant of the Reserve had not been made public. . "What is tbe name of the

commandant?" he asked the Hon. W. W. Davidson, tbe Colonial Treasurer, who was steering the bill through the House.

Mr. Davidson explained that he was absent from the meeting of the Executive Council when the appointment was made. He ad­mitted that he had since shown so little interest that he had failed to ascertain the name of the person.

"Even if he did not attend the meeting when the commandant • was appointed I would think he would receive the minutes and probably has attended numberless meetings since that time," com­mented Mr. Vesey with a smile. "He should inform the House who is the commandant of this estab­lishment"

^Shakespeare wrote, ia T h e Merchant of Venice": >^x"The man that bath no musk in himself,

, Nor is not moved with concord of sweet sounds, ^rh fit for treasons, stratagems and spoils."

Song expresses the best in man's nature—his devotion, his praise, his happiness, his love. Of all the carols of joy and gladness, no una better known than "God Rest You Merry, Gentlemen." No one knows who wrote it, or when. It goes back at least 300 years and is England's best loved carol.

Another of the merry songs of Christmas is -"Deck tha Holl With Bough* of Holly." This dotes back to the pre-Christian era in England

and tha midwinter festival colled "Yule." iz-io

Mrs. Richardson's report stated that membership had increased by 45 during the year. -

High winds and heavy rains recently have rained much of the Colony's citrus fruits, Mrs. Richardson commented; the fruit output this year would not be as good as last year's.

Mr. H. S t George Butterfield, M.C.P.. chairman of the Board of Agriculture and permanent mem­ber of the executive council of the association, thanked Mrs. Richardson for the untiring work she has done for the association, and other officers for their keen interest.

Mr. Evans's suggestion that members give citrus fruit m Christmas gifts met with approval from those present.

Captain Ross Winter, M.C.P., was elected to serve as president tar the ensuing year. Mrs. Garry Richardson was named viae* president, Mrs. Enith Outerbridge is the new secretary and Mrs, Otis Henry will serve as treasurer. Mr. Morris Cooper was returned as auditor.

Elected to serve on the execu­tive council were Mr. Bernard Walker, Mr. Will Onions, Mr: Robert Clarke, Mr. Morris Cooper, Miss Margaret Holmes and Miss E. Horstwood.

Revised Edition Of Laws Sole Authentic Version

Continued from Page 1 Mr. Pearman. received support

ior his argument against t t e re­vised edition being the sole au­thentic edition from ldr. C. G. GDtw*t.

"If there is a slip in the re­vised edition there is no use look­ing back at t t e original laws, for the revised edition is authentic, te contended.

Explaining that te did not en­quire about this particular point, Mr. Davidson said ha had been categorically informed that io the event of a mistake recourse was made t o the old act. It was also his understanding that t t e com­pilation of t t e laws would be completed in late 1952, bot this would be contingent on the print­ing facilities available.

LONDON, Dec 18 (Heuter).-*-Road safety 'planners here have bit on a new dodge for getting pedestrians from one side of the road to t t e otter, intact — zebra crossings.

Steam roller teams have been moving across Britain for the past month rolling down alternate Stripes of black and white com­position in a pathway across busy thoroughfares.

Pedestrians will have the right of way across these paths and all motor traffic wiH stop for them.

The idea is sound because more and more pedestrians are finding out tbe hard way that it does not matter how much the law is on your side if you are dead.

MOUNTING TOLL

The Government planned the zebra system to curb t t e mount­ing traffic toll — an average of 5,000 die on Britain's roads each year.

A new law also -Stiffens fines for motorists who go through an occupied street crossing to £ 5 .

For one reason or another pedestrians are favoured people under British law — probably be­cause there so many more of them than there are motorists.

W'th or without the new lew, for '.xample, flocks of pedestrians dodge through the traffic at signal intersections with a gay disregard for the lights which they feel apply only to drivers.

The carefree way in which Bri­tons jomp off and on moving buses horrifies many tourists. There is no sate or door on the familiar double-deckers, just an open entrance at t t e rear. It is normal practice for a panting commuter to just make the final leap on to t t e rear platform after chasing a bus down the street for half a block.

Also if there is not a bus stop handy, agile Britons normally drop aft the platform at their street and bit running.

Every week a few more do not make it and go down under t t e wheels of following traffic.

LONDON, Dec. 10 (Reuter).— Tfae London stock exchange was in a cautious mood today mainly as a result ef the Government's credit restriction policy and the turn of events in Egypt. The net result was a general lowering of prices, though few sections en­countered any large selling.

-Ther most noteworthy changes were hi the market for Govern­ment securities, where losses of up to 12/6 were seen in the nationalisation stocks.

Industrials, after early losses of about sixpence, were generally

11 steady at the lower levels, with the textile/rayon group actually showing signs of a partial re­covery.

In" the foreign bond market, both Japanese and Germans were marked lower at the start, but the movement served to attract some cheap buyers and the bonds were able to hold their ground.

CHI shares were on the dull side throughout the session. A little speculative selling wes en­countered, notably in Ultramar.

In a quiet mining section prices

NEW YORMARKET NEW YORK, Dec. 10 (Reuter).

—Stocks had io absorb a good deal of profit-taking today in moder­ate dealings. Small price ad­vances and declines offset one another and kept the market in a narrow circle.

The undertone was steady in most industrial sections, but the rails worked lower. The two standard-bearers—Canadian Pacific and Northern Pacif ic-were strong for an hour or so until selling blocked the way. Sales volume totalled 1,300,000 shares.

were maintained, with an occa­sional small improvement seen in copper shares.

AP Newsfeatures The man who went from rela­

tive obscurity to become one of the most familiar faces in America ih a few short weeks through the medium of television has jumped into the No. 2 spot ip the nation's largest city.

Rudolph Halley, 38, was elected this month to the $25,000-a-year post of president of Hew York's City Council largely on the bril­liant record ha. made as chief counsel for the Kefauver Crime Investigating Committee early this year.

His lisp, high-pitched voice and horn-rimmed glasses became well known to a nationwide television audience of " some 30 million viewers. Halley stole the show in the role of relentless prosecutor. The American housewife put aside her chores and retail busi­ness slowed as he made such no­torious big names as Frank Cos­tello and Frank Erickson sweat and squirm.

Halley conducted much- of his campaign by television. He has served as narrator on a weekly network TV drama which exposes the rackeis. Following his elec­tion He.icy announced he was giving up this commitment.

In school Halley was a kind of boy gc_*'us. He was graduated from a ±jronz grammar -school at 11. At 14 te was looking around

Austria Keeps Heart Of Napoleon's Son

THE COFFIN in Les Invalides containing the body at the Duke of Reichstadt is visited

by a Parisian monk.

By KURT HAMPE

AP Newsfeatures VIENNA — An International

dispute between two European countries over the heart pf Napoleon's son and heir has been settled—at least temporarily.

Austria has the heart sus­pended in a sealed silver urn. France possesses the body of the 21-year-old Duke of Reichstadt, who died in Vienna in 1832 of pneumonia.

After much postwar argument, France finally has given up a demand that Austria send the heart to Paris to lie with the the bodies of tbe young duke and his father in Les Invalides.

But the struggle may be re ­newed if Austria decides to r e ­quest back the body of "L'Ai-glon"—-the "young eagle" as he was affectionately called.

. The Duke of Reichstadt was the child of Napoleon and Arch­duchess Maria Louise of Haps-burg. Napoleon's dream was that the young duke would become Holy Roman Emperor.'

When the duke d i e d in Vienna's Schoenbrunn palace, the Hapsburg monarchs carried out the same rites they had for hundreds of years. They separ-

HAIFA. Israel,- Dec. 10 (Reu­ter) . — Striking seamen here .used pressure hoses today to beat oft a police launch trying to reach two strike-bound ships.

One of the ships was the Israel-American Line freighter Tel Aviv (7,187 tons), carrying several

I United States passengers who are unable to land.

The strikers also tried to beat up volunteers who were handling some of the strike ships, they blocked the front of the port and intercepted . volunteers until the police intervened.

Two Italian engineers, flown in to handle two immobilized ships, demanded to be flown back again.

Ine month-old strike is dir­ected against the Government-controlled labour federation.

Seamen started sit-in strikes on board their ships after ship­ping companies refused to nego-

PARIS, Dec. 10 (Reuter). — l i r r I 'rygve Lie, secretary-gen­eral of the United Nations, in a message on the third anniversary

I of the universal declaration of I human rights said today that the I declaration was already having j "widespread influence"1' in the j world.

The urn was placed sixth from the left db the bottom row of a collection of Hapsburg hearts in the crypt of Vienna's St. Augus­tine church. The collection now numbers "54 hearts and includes those of nine emperors, eight empresses and a motley collec­tion from Hapsburg princes and archdukes.

The Duke of Reichstadt's body lay peacefully beside his mother in Vienna's Capuchin crypt until November 12, ISM.

On that date, Hitler's Gestapo carted off the body, over the protests of the Capuchin monks, and took it to Paris.

REJECT RED WARNING ON MID-EAST DEFENCE

Israel Only Concerned With Her Own Defence TEL AVIV, Israel, Dec. 10

(Reuter). — Israel has rejected a Russian warning against join­ing the proposed Western Mid­dle East defence- command, in­formed sources here said-today.

The reply, to be handed over shortly, had already heen sent to the Israeli Minister in Moscow, they said, stating that it con­stituted implied rejection of the Soviet • warning that joining would be "a hostile act and an aggressive move against this Sov­iet Union.

The . independent evening newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth published today what it called the text of the reply. It said:

1. Israel had not been invited to join.

2. She was concerned with her own defence problems.

3. Sbe would not take sides' in the East-West struggle.

4. She would appreciate Rus­sian help for world Jewry by an end to the Soviet ban on emigration of Jews.

No formal invitation to join the command was made to Israel by the command founders, Am­erica, Britain, Turkey and France. Along with the other Middle East governments, she received her protest warning from Soviet Russia after the four powers an­nounced their intention of form­ing such an organisation and asked for comments from the nations of the Middle East.

AP N,ws*eo1ur»*

SYNOPSIS; Belinda tells the tooth fairies her troubles. They advise her to go to Santa Claus for help. They'll take her half­way to Santa Land, aa ter as Tooth City. She asks permission forTommy to go wtth her. The iaipies say some magic words and both children become as small as the fairies. Mounting a white mouse, they scamper off to Tooth WW*.

CHAPTER SIX

THE BALLOON

The white mouse scampered through the land carrying his four passengers on his bade

He went so s w i f t l y and followed so twisting a path that neither Tommy nor Belinda could ever have said where they wait or how they got there. All they knew was that suddenly the mouse was running down a tiny street paved with enamel and lined with lovely shining houses made of teeth instead of brick.

Hundreds of fairies ran to greet them shouting, "How many teeth did you get? Hope they are good ones, v*Wh no holes in them!"

Eraok and Fanny Jumped from the^&hite mouse and helped the two children down. The fairies gazed at them. "What are they?" cried the creatures. "Are they fairies or are they children? Did you find them under a pillow?"

"Shush!" said Frank. "They are children on their way to see Santa Claus and ifs up to us to see they get there."

Then Frank and Fanny told tfae fairies the story of the children's troubles.

"The question, is how to get you there," said Frank.

"Couldn't we borrow your little white mouse?" asked Tommy, shyly.

"The way is hard because it is through the snow lands," ex­plained Frank. "It would take white mouse two days to make tiie trip."

"And what of that?" asked Be­linda.

"Just remember," said Frank. "This very night you will be big children again and little white mouse could not carry you at alL"

"Oh!" said Tommy. "I forgot," said •'Selinda. ' J u n at this moment another white mouse dashed into the fairy city. He carried on his back two fairies whose pockets bulged with teeth tbey had collected through the night.

"Here's Buster and Barbara," said Fanny. "How excited they are!"

The two new fairies ran for­ward dragging a strange shape­less red thing about as long as your finger.

"Whatever is that?" cried tbe fairies. "Where, did you get it?"

"We don't know what it is," said Buster. "A little boy

Russia's Order of Bath By *OM WHITNEY

AP Newsfeatures MOSCOW—One of the most

popular social institutions in Russia is the Russian bath.

Like its foreign counterparts, the famous Finnish bath and the Turkish bath, the Russian bath is a place where one relaxes as well as gets clean.

It is an exceedingly popular form oi treatment for "the morn­ing after" as well as for just

' ordinary fatigue. You check your overcoat, hat

and overshoes as you go in. Then you buy a ticket and mount tbe stairs to the bath.

In the men's section there is a large room for disrobing with attendants who look after your garments. Scales are handy for those wbo wish to fhtfpji their weight "before and after."

There is a large central room kept at a high temperature by steam from Moscow's central heating station. This room has numerous spigots of hot and cold water and benches tor persons washing, using basins furnished in the room.

Going cm through this room one enters the steaming room. Tbis chamber has a very high ceiling and a stairway leading up to an upper level near the ceiling.

ft Nearly Flew Away WHhMef Said Belinda. wrapped his-tooth in it and left it as a present tax us."

"What a night!" exclaimed the fairies. "First we get children looking for Santa and now we get a strange what-is-it!"

"Perhaps it is a tent," suggested Fanny, poking at the thing with bar that. "Or a broken sling shot," said Frank.

All this while Belinda had been examining the queer thing. At first she wasn't sure what it was because it looked so large and different when she was so tiny. ,

Finally she laughed. "Ifs a toy balloon!" she exclaimed. "Watch!"

She picked up the open end and blew into it. Sbe had to put her whole face in the hole and blow and blow and blow. Slowly, as the fairies looked on in aston­ishment, the shapeless thing grew round and fat and beautiful.

"Help me!" cried Belinda. "It is pulling away!"

The balloon, now full blown, was about to lift Belinda from the ground when, just in time, tfae fairies came to tfae rescue. They threw ropes of dental floss around toe balloon mouth and anchored it to a stone.

"It nearly flew away with me!" said Belinda.

"WeO then," said Frank. "Why not fly with it to Santa Land?"

"Do you think we could get there in time?" asked Belinda. "I mean before we get big again?"

"Surely," said Frank. "It is not far as the birds fly. Come, let's get to work."

He ran into a nearby tooth house and returned with a fairy waste basket which was about as big as your mother's thimble. Tbe other fairies made a tiny rudder out of a slender front tooth and fitted it to tfae basket. Then they tied the basket to the balloon and all was ready for the flight.

Tommy and Belinda climbed into the basket. Only their heads peeped over the top. ,

The fairies pushed away the stone and slowly the balloon rose from toe ground.

Tommy and Belinda were on their way. (Next: Tfae Trip to Santo Land)

It is filled wito live—invisible-steam. At the bottom of the room the temperature is warm. You fill a basin with cold water and start to mount the stairs. As you go up tbe stairs tfae temperature increases until when you jure standing on toe upper level toe temperature induces an intense sweat. You dash cool water on yourself from the basin to keep from being overheated. You can stay here as long as you can stand it, but most people spend not Snore than 10 to 1$ minutes in this stage.

After tbis you can take a shower and go to the massage room. Here professional mas-1 seurs take aver. They wash you | down most thoroughly wito the aid of a "mochalka" as it is j called, made of linden tree shav­ings. And then they massage.

After the massage you can go to toe swimming pool for a dip. Many customers go from toe pool bade to toe steam room and con­tinue the routine as long as they desire. !

By the time you have dressed

and are ready to leave the whole process has absorbed as much as an hour and a half or two hours. The Russian bath is patronised regularly by many Russians who have good bathing facilities in their own homes. Such people are attracted by the masseurs, the steam room, the. pools, and also by the social aspect. Most people go to the bath wito friends, It is a good place to chat.

to. There's another MIG-15 at the base these days. But it's a pile of junk now. A mass of turbine engine cowlings, wires, seats, tailpipe from a jet engine, rudder fin and elevators stacked in a storeroom. It was more com­plete when they got it, but they took tt apart and studied it, piece by piece.

Col. Harold E. Watson, pointed to five pile of junk:

"Sine, we learned a lot of things about it. But, we're only telling our own interested agen­cies. That's what makes our work so tough. It isn't that we're afraid to tell the Russians about the MIG. Ihey know all about it. But they don't know how much we know."

The warehouse looks like a Russian junkpile, with here and there supplies of intact equip­ment. There are racks of cloi'a-ing worn by North Korean Navy, Air and Army officers.

There are o x y g e n masks, gloves, flying jackets, b o o t s , helmets, new engines of a reciprocating type used by Rus­sians in transport planes.

In warehouse cubby-holes, is a partly intact Russian IL-11 two-seater trainer. The wing is in good condition. The fuselage, however, is partly shot up.

Just a junk heap? Tea, but it told U.S. experts many things. For instance, the plane was armed. Allied trainers are not.

What kind of things do the experts learn when they peer over the shoulder of the Russian bear?

Well, the warehouse has some machineguns taken from the Russian MIG's. They are larger and heavier caliber than the

Cominform Uses Vienna As A Display Window

By HUBERT HARRISON Reuter's Correspondent

VHSNNA (Renter).—Vienna is rapidly becoming the Comin-form's most important shop win­dow to the West.

With increasing frequency, new displays are being staged here. But toese activities are rousing great antagonism in the ranks of the Austrian Government because they . are all being undertaken without Austrian permission even having been asked, let alone obtained.

This new move by the Comin­form seems to be dictated partly by retreat from places where activity is ho longer possible and partly as a means of bringing for­ward certain activities from places deep behind the iron cur­tain to Vienna, where they can more easily be seen by Western people.

TOO MUCH HOT AIR AT IM. FOR GOOD HEALTH

PARIS, .December Id (Senter). —A mild epidemic of hang and throat complaints has hit the U n i t e d N a t i o n s General Assembly.

The cause: hot air. eMdical experts say that the hot

air pumped through ventilators ^ drfe**L.*Up the atmosphere in the

,y bunSnng and so provides a fertile breeding-ground fbr throat in­fection. The absence of air-conditioning in the lobbies and committee rooms has not helped.

Since the Assembly started just over a month ago, the United Nations clinic has treated more than 300 cases of colds, bronchitis and> congestion of the throat.

— All/W BARRCff. CHAPTER TWENTY-FIVE Joe Garrison pushed open the

screen door into Rosita's 'and stepped into the roadside night club. The entry way, designed as a foyer, was filled with Spanish-styled benches, blankets hanging from the walls, colourful and dusty pieces of pottery, » «nall alcove serving as a hat check room, and a few patrons staring out at tte highway through a window. One of the eurious patrons turned as Garrison and Ernie entered.

"Hey, what's going on with all the police can?" the man asked.

Garrison cleared his throat be­fore answering and wet his dry lips. "They're looking tor a man. They've eet up a road block."

•^reafa?" tiie patron murmured, looking out the window again.

There was a scattering of com­ment from the others at the window and Garrison and Ernie walked into the main dining room. Dim lights exhibited a long wooden bar at one side of the room, with gords and pastel-coloured jars and other items of Spanish motif decorating the surroundings. The bartender was dressed in a soiled white apron. He was busy at Ids trade. The waitresses wore flowing Spanish skirts. One of them led Garrison and Ernie to a table near a far wall, handed them menus and disappeared. The dining room was partially filled with people and * jammed with stale air Mid tobacco smoke.

A buxon woman wearing an orange evening gown covered with sequins and a peroxide permanent sat cozily at a small white piano on the band stand. From some hidden niche, a baby spotlight of amber hue sfrayeo over her as she cooed into a microphone about her lost love of many moons ago. Her choppy accompaniment on the piano

The waitress reappeared and | took their orders for a pair of steaks, to be started with double Bourbons on the rocks. When Wae drinks were planted on the table, G a r r i s o n reached tot his hungrily and polished it off

I quickly. He ordered another and | sat back, relaxed.

"I needed that," he said with a sigh, "My nerves are shot . . . . Listen, Ernie, Why don't we try to find Shelby, too?"

"You mean, help the coppers?" There was heavy disgust in Ernie's voice.

"ND, no. I don't care what the police do. In fact, Fve been thinking that it might not be too smart to let them find Shelby, after all."

"Talk straight," Ernie com­manded.

G a r r i s o n leaned forward, hunched over on his elbows and stared thoughtfully at the chubby woman who had now upped her beat on the piano and was shouting Wolds of advice to some imaginary man who kept ling­ering away from the home pasture. "She stinks," he said briefly.

"Yeah, yeah. What's with this new idea about Shelby?"

Garrison, rubbed his chin and said, "Let's assume the police capture* Shelby and this time he talks them into investigating the Ray mer murder it little more— tells them about me and they want to talk ta me about it."

Ernie shrugged. "So you give them an alibi." j "W^at kind of an alibi, Ernie?" Garrison's v o i c e q u i v e r e d slightly. "I haven't got one."

Ernie eyed Garrison for a long moment and then looked ct his drink. "You'd be on a spot, lite boy. You figured everything out but an alibi. You're a real smart guy, Joe boy."

"Shut up," Garrison snarled. "How did i know Vance Shelby would walk into Raymer's office and find him and get stuck with the rap?"

"You didn't," Ernie said and let his eyes roam around the room until he found a waitress he had been admiring. "There ain't never been a perfect murder. Always a guy forgets something. In your case, it was an alibi."

• "I could figure one out, couldn't I?" , "Maybe. But them cops, if they wanted, to check it, would probably knock it apart. How you gonna figure out an alibi which proves you was in Hollywood when you was in New York? Who's gonna take some of toe heat off of you and tell the

"IFou would back me up, wouldn't you, Bmie?"

Ernie shook his head slowly. "Sorry, Joe boy, but the cops ain't ever gonna believe anything I tell them. And none of your got-rock friends in Hollywood will risk any' heat for you. You know that. It might get their names in the papers."

"Maybe they won't believe Shelby," Garrison m u m b l e d through dry lips. "No, they won't believe anything he says. He can't really involve me. Can he, Ernie?"

They glanced up as their waitress approached with a tray of steaks.

Garrison stared at the food with troubled, unseeing eyes, then slowly looked at Ernie, gripped his arm with a trembling hand. "Listen, Ernie, I can't take any chances. I h e y may listen to h im long enough this t ime to start

checking on toe. We've got to get Shelby before the police dp." >

"All right, all right. 'Let m e eat first," Ernie growled. "If he's still in Ajo and the cops ain't picked him Up yet TO find him."

"There isn't much time, Ernie," Garrison said, his eyes darting nervously around the room, his voice filled with fear.

"Go look for him now, Ernie. Don't let him ever talk."

Ernie shook off Garrison's hand and continued with his dinner. "Shut up and let me eat," he snarled. "I'll kBl him later."

Coventry Is U.K. Boom Town But Accomodation Is Scarce

By NORMAL CRIBBENS COVENTRY, (Reuter). — Cov-

entry, one of Britain's most blitzed towns, has become a Doom town.

It has jobs and good wages for everyone—and homes for noone. homes, indeed, are so scarce that Coventry's Mayor, Council­lor Harry Weston, has asked people to stop coming to the *ity. ' But it is impossible to stop them. Coventry's f a c t o r ies, much bombed during the war, pay the highest wages in Britain and thousands of men who work In them are earning up to £ 17 lor Jive days' work.

The average rate for skilled men is five shillings an hour. In some factories, it is as high as six shillings and sixpence. All that adds up to weekly pay pack­ets with anything between £13 and £17 i s them.

GOLD RUSH Some areas of Coventry look

like an old-time Western gold rush settlement with prefabs (prefabricated* h o u s e s and wooden shanties springing up where buildings were knocked down by the German luftwaffe.

Millions of pounds worth of re­armament contracts are respon­sible for the boom. But as far back as June 1950 the boom was well launched, with large con­tracts pouring into the city for aeroplanes, motorcars, tractors, machine tools, artificial silk, radios and telephones.

Like all boom towns, Coventry is an exciting place in which to live. But there are many head­aches tax the people who run this new British "Klondyke."

They can never be sure that the driver, the baker, the milk­man, the dustman, toe [dumber or the greengrocer wfll be there tomorrow.

Life in Coventry has gone a little mad. There is a job for anyone who wants one. Not, per­haps, at £17 a week, for you have to be skilled in Britain te earn that kind of money but high enough to tempt workers from the country towns.

The story is told of a bus driver who left his job in a most inconvenient way. Driving a full load of passengers, he passed a notice a n n o u n c i n g "Men Wanted" outside a factory.

He pulled in to the side of tbe road, leapt out of his driver's seat and dashed inside to get himself a job which paid more money than driving a bus. Irri­

tated passengers waited f o r more than half an hour before he returned. At the end of his route, he hung up his uniform and left without notiee.

EVEN BUSMEN Yet even busmen get higher

wages in Coventry than any­where else in Britain. Drivers get more than conductors, but the conductor with a basic wage of £ 5 . 19s. can collect nearly £ 9 a week with overtime—and there is plenty of overtime.

Shop assistants, too, get more money than anywhere else in Britain and the bosses are polite as can be.

"We have to handle tfaem gently," a store proprietor said. "If we say 'boo' to what staffs we have left, they would be off in a puff of smoke to the fac­tories.

Housing is a* desperate prob -lem. Since the war. Coventry's population has jumped by 33,000 and some of the worst cases of overcrowding in the country have developed.

"What can we do? If one part of tfae building force is engaged in building factories and another part in working in them there, can't be many left for building houses," is haw OIK official of the housing authority summed up the position.

Everywhere, milling round this boom 'town, there are workers with money to born. The taverns are always tall and there are queues at the local dog racing tracks.

Yet scores of tbe men who take their fill of all this prosperi­ty go home to sleep with their families in one room. For a house is the one thing which all their money cannot buy. Four­teen thousand people are on the waiting list for homes and it takes three years to get on it.

INFLATED FIGURE An elderly woman was offered

£250 by her landlord if she would get out of the house. she was renting for 30 shillings a week. The landlord, of course, wanted to furnish the house and | let it for £t or £ 8 a week—or perhaps sell it for an figure.

Citv officials believe that the situation will get worse. For more and more men will be wanted as the rearmament pro­gramme gets into its full stride.

Because Coventry cannot get enough British workers, men have been imported from all

over the world. There are East Indians, Poles, Czechs, Chinese, Irishmen and Scotsmen, all earn­ing good money.

"We could do with some of the unemployed citizens in other towns who are now living cm public funds," one civic official said. "Too many people dash off abroad in search of some mythi­cal Klondyke when they have one right on their own doorstep."

AVERAGE EARNINGS , « Average earnings for skilled engineers in Britain are a little more than 3s. 3d. an hour. In Coventry, they are 5s. On a 44-hour week this represents a weekly wage of £ 11 without overtime—and one firm pays 6s. an hour.

With the spiral in wages, tbe cost-of-living bas also* risen, and housewives say that they find it cheaper to pay bus or train fares to towns IS ahd 20 miles away to do their shopping.

"Coventry is becoming a gold rush town without art, culture, or real civilisation" Mayor West­on said. "I would like to make two appeals—one to people to stop coming here, and one to the government to stop giving us orders for two or three years so that industry has a chance to settle down."

U.S. DELEGATES TO ILN. GOING HOME FOR XMAS

PARES, Dec. 10 (Reuter). — Mr. Warren Austin will sail for home on board the America from Le Havre on December 15 on his Christmas vacation, an American spokesman said today.

FRENCH LABOUR LEADER GETS NOBEL PRIZE

Calls For Brotherhood And Search For Peace OSLO, Ntjrway, bee. 10 (Reu­

ter). — France's veteran anti-. Communist trade unionist, M. Leon Jouhaux, 72, appealed "let us be soldiers for peace" as he accepted the 1951 Nobel peace prize here today.

In a trembling voice M. Jouhaux — head of the Inter­national Confederation of Free Trade Unions — asked for brotherly collaboration between oeoples working for the estab­lishment of social justice.

"There can be no peace so long as there is fear, need, dis­tress and injustice, -but only where .there is confidence and brotherhood," he said.

King Haakon and Crown Prince Olav saw Mr. Gunnar Jah.n, chairman of the Norwegian Parliament's Nobel committee, hand the diploma and model of tbe Nobel peace prize to M. Jouhaux in the hall of Oslo Uni­versity.

During the Second World War the Nazis deported M. Jouhaux from, France and imprisoned bim in Buchenwald concentration camp.

He is president of tiie non-Communist trade u.nion organi­sation in France — "Force Ouv-rier" — which broke away from the Confederation Genera le du Travail, strongly influenced by ti-e Communists. He has been as­sociated with the International Labour Organisation since its foundation in 1919.

Red Berlin Cut, M e e i f i J K M S And Draws Western Crowds

BERLIN, Dec. 11 (Reuter). — Tike East German Government's Christmas present to its citizens, a price slash ranging from 10 to 75 per cent on food, drinks and clothing, halted the Christmas buying rush in West Berlin to­day.

Since the price cuts took effect yesterday West Berliners bave poured to the Communist East sector's state-run department stores to buy cheap spirits and other bargains.

Twenty yards from the British sector, on Potsdamer Platz, an East Berlin store displayed bot­tles of German champagne and German brandy for the equi­valent of 10/6 each. Cherry brandy was on sale fbr about 5 / - a half pint.

These are less than half the average West Berlin price.

Portable typewriters have been tiut from the equivalent of £12 to *£*?. 10s. One type of motor cycle is down from £70 to £90.

In East Berlin, owing to the price cuts, the East mark harden­ed to iy* for one West mark from the •previous rate of 4% to one. It is expected to sink fur­ther in the next few days.

Alarmed at tbe drop in trade, West Berlin shopkeepers are to ask tbe city authorities to stop the legal exchange of West for East marks.

SINATRAS SAB> VICTIMS OF JEWEL ROBBERY

£5,000 Gems Are Stolen From London Hotel Suite

a small tuft of hair on the chin has been a familiar sight at in­ternational labour conferences for well over 30 years. As a youth he worked in a match factory.

LONDON, Dee., 10 (Reuter).— Crooner Frank Sinatra and bis wife, Ava Gardner, reported to­day that jewellery valued at be­tween £5,000 and £6,000 bad been stolen from their suite at the Washington Hotel here.

They said the stolen jewellery included a bracelet valued at £4,500, a ring, and a pair ot cuff links.

Scotland Yard officers went to the, hotel on receiving a tele­phone call from suite 221 occu­pied by the Sinatras.

the couple are here for a charity show tonight in aid of the National Playing Fields Associa­tion, at wbich Princess Elizabeth and the Duke of Edinburgh are to be present.

Tbe hotel manager said Scot­land officers were making a "thorough investigation" of the Sinatra loss, taking finger prints and examining witnesses.

Preparation For Germany's New Status Under Treaty

FRANKFURT, Germany, Dec. 10 (Reuter).—"Hie United States High Commission staff in Ger­many is to be nearly halved by

i July 1, 1952, the assistant High Commissioner, Chauncey G. Parker, announced here today.

American Staffs would be cut from 1,800 to about 940 by that date, he told reporters, and "com­parable reductions of German staffs will probably be necessary."

The staff cuts would be carried out gradually during the next few months in preparation for the time when Germany enters into a treaty relationship witb the Western Powers and the High Commission is dissolved.

The target date, July, has been chosen because it is the beginning of a new U S . fiscal year and it should not be taken as any indica­tion to the date wben the High Commission will be finally dis­solved, Mr. Parker said.

Mr. Parker was addressing a press conference after attending a meeting of U.S. resident officers in Germany which discussed a long-projected realignment of High Commission functions after Ger­many regains near-sovereignty.

The change, Mr. Parker said, would see the High Commission —chief instrument of the occupy­ing power change into a U.S. in­formation and educational ex-
