Mrs. Burns was in charge of | the business office only. Mrs. Lois! Thornley, chief operator, with the as- i sistance of Mrs. Joe W. Leake, for- | mer chief operator, (retired), who 1 volunteered here services for thel emergency, and other employees as: they returned to work, are the ones i due the credit for maintaining tele phone service on an emergency bas-j is,- we are informed by G. L. Me-) IHE NATIONAL SCENE Special to The Chronicle, d Washington, Mag 1.—hit Is appar ent that whatever labor bill passes congress will be written upon the floor of the house or senate and not within either of the two committees j which have been conducting hear-j ings for more than six weeks and still are unable to reach'any agree ment. * possessions, $755,000,000; other* na tions, $1,704,000,000. | t According to the records, this country, Great Britain and UNRRA already have put something like a billion dollars into Greece in the last six years. British expenditures are estimated the equivalent of $500,- 000,000 and UNRRA about $400,000,- 000 and another $40,000,00 from the USA in private relief. In addition the export-import bank granted Greece a loan of $25,00,000 and the Maritime and Foreign Liquidation commissions have extended property credits amounting to $45,000,000 each. Cullough, district manager. The Chronicle is glad to publish \ this additional statement, giving! proper credit to whom it is due for the fine job done under trying con ditions. 1 It is also obvious, despite the tele phone strike and John L. Lewis’ spurious coal strike which actually violates the court injunction and the supreme court edict upholding the i lower court, that no “tough” labor 1 bill will get by a presidential veto, and the GOP leadership does not believe it has the strength to pass a labor bill over the presidential veto. So a labor bill, wl^h is to be Exclusive of lend-lease aid sup plies during the war, Turkey has re ceived American credits of more than $50,000,000 of which $33,000,000 is a loan from export-import bank, $10,000,000 in property credits from Foreign Liquidation commission, and about $3,00,000 from the Maritime commission. f The Greco-Turkish aid bilb came out ofyth jesenate foreign relations committee with a unanimous^Report for passage and the senate’ is ex pected, to pass it glso, but with sev eral qualifying and protective amendments and with due regard for the United Nations. cation Bible school, and summer con ferences will be discussed.

Fast action by the senate is ex pected on the president's request for ’ K a 400 million dollar loan to Greece# and Turkey. That this amount is a drop in the bucket as compared to loans and commitments already made and pending to foreign nations is evi denced in a study of budget bureau estimates. From July 1, 1945, to February 28, 1947, American aid plus aid authorized or pending before congress totals 15.8 billion dollars ex clusive of payments to the Interna tional Monetary Fund and various short term credits. A summation of all foreign commitments from 1940 through 1946 shows that non-war foreign commitments of this govern ment total almost 22 billion dollar: And Your Strength and Energy Is Below Par It m»y be emuaed by disorder of kid ney function that permits poisonous ^aste to accumulate.

So United States dollars have lit erally covered the world in the last six years. There is scarcely a coun try that has not received some sort of loan or credit, and many colonial’ possessions also are included. About 80 per cent of the direct loans, credits, advances and financial aid, however, has gone to countries and possessions of the British Common wealth, to Latin America, to France, Chiria, and the Netherlands and pos sessions. Doans Pills These postwar foreign credits were split as follows: British Common wealth, $5,032,000,000; France and possessions, $1,953,000,000; South American Republics, $1,775,000,000; China, $805,000,000; Netherlands and Should MAM live os' ^ long as an la proportion to the time re- quired to attain maturity, man's life-span is briefer than that of many animals. Scientists declare that we humans should right fully reach an average age of one hundred years. Belatedly, they are centering increased attention upon the problems of old age; Not only should man live longer, but be should live a richer, more abundant life, free from the many hampering ills common to advancing years. Already, medical science has done much so make middle-age and the sunset-time of life a pleasanter and more productive period.
