No Bod of Roses
H ERE ARE a few facts not
brought out druing the crime
committee probe of the glamor girl
of the underworld, Virginia Hill:
Miss Hill first broke into prom-
ience among the gangsters when
she lived in the Chicago boarding
house where Chicago’s Joe Epstein,
then a student of accountancy, also
lived. Virginia, a restaurant wait
ress at that time, frequently brought
coffee and cakes to the hungry Ep
stein. Later, when Epstein got out
of school, he became an accountant
for the underworld, also began
helping Miss Hill.
She became a runner for the un
derworld, carrying money between
racketeers in different cities. This
was a precarious job. But Virginia
was smart enough to keep an inti
mate dairy locked in a vault with a
record of the various financial
transactions, and instructions that
the files were to be made public
If anything happened to her.
Mobsters on the lam trusted
their money to her—a doubly
dangerous assignment; for not
only was it illegal, but it put
Iliss Hill’s life in jeopardy in
side the unde:-world.
The underworld, which lives by a
code of its own, knew every time
Virginia had a large chunk of cash.
The mobsters also knew that if they
robbed her, she couldn’t report it
to the cops. At least half a dozen
times, therefore, Virginia was beat
en black and blue, and her apart
ment ransacked in attempts by the
underworld to steal loot from itself.
Some televiewers thought Vir
ginia Hill’s life was a bed of roses.
But it wasn’t.
Railroad Strike Impasse
Only one issue has been holding
up settlement of the long, bitter
railroad strike—namely, the role
of Presidential Assistant John Steel
man as mediator. The railroads
want the likable ex-Alabama col
lege professor to arbitrate future
differences, but the railroad broth
erhoods want someone else.
One reason that labor won’t
accept Steelman is a secret
memo that was intercepted
from S. H. Pulliam to B. B.
Bryant, who are handling the
- strike negotiations for the
Chesapeake and Ohio railroad.
This secret memo declares:
“The roles will be Steelman’s
interpretations which are pret-
- ty much the same as the rail
roads’.’’
Forrestal’s Diary
The defense department has re
cently been urged to release the
private diary of the late Secretary
of 'Defense James Forrestal, and
to that end an edited version was
sent to the joint chiefs of staff for
approval. However, they dropped it
like a hot potato.
Some of the hot spots that caused
the joint chiefs of staff to keep the
diary suppressed are:
Forrestal told how he came close
to firing then Secretary of the Air
Force Symington in the spring of
1948 for an unauthorized, pro-air
force speech on the west coast
Forrestal also complained of
his troubles getting the three
services to agree on war strat
egy and a defense budget.
Twice he appealed to General
^Marshall to support increases
in the military budget. The first
time, Marshall was secretary
of state and favored priorities
for foreign aid instead. The sec
ond time Marshall urged that
the extra money be spent for
universal military training.
Forrestal also wrote bitterly of
his distrust of the French and Brit
ish. The diary has now gone back to
the custody of the President’s naval
aide. Rear Adm. Robert L. Den
nison.
Wherry Is Willing
Gonial Senator Wherry of Ne
braska secretly tried to launch a
Wherry - for - President boom the
other day. But it has boomeranged.
Wherry arranged to send a form
letter to GOP national committee
men recommending himself “as the
party’s presidential candidate.’’ The
letter went out under the signature
of Republican state chairman David
Martin of Kearney, Nebraska—sup
posedly without Wherry’s knowl
edge, but actually upon Wherry’s
orders.
The letter also included a copy
of a speech, plugging Wherry,
which was delivered at the Nebras
ka GOP convention by delegate
George Tunison What the letter
neglected to mention, however, is
that Tunison is Wherry’s campaign
manager.

SPRING BLOOMING
Slow Arms Shipments
Britain’s new foreign minister,
Herbert Morrison, has complained
to the American embassy that U.S.
arms are slow in arriving.
Morrison told Ambassador Walter
Gifford, former head of American
telephone and Telegraph, that
ents are so far behind it is
iardizing British plans.
Morrison also apologized that his
official contact since taking
as foreign minister had to do
a complaint
T HE FLOWERS that bloom in the
spring, trala—have something to
do with the case when it comes to
spring housecleaning and brighten
ing! For the shelves of your stores
are blooming with colorful fabrics,
reasonable in price, durable in
wear, and easy to care for, to
brighten up those clean-scrubbed
rooms!
There are the synthetic materials
for making your own place mats
and centerpieces. There are the
plastics for curtains and drapes.
And rarely has there
been such a wide
choice of good oil
cloth with modern
improvements, as
you ’will find this
spring in your
stores!
These modern
oilcloths bloom with new colors and
new designs. They save money,
time and work. They’re flexible, and
adaptable to hanging, draping, sew
ing or pinking. They’re a cinch to
clean and keep clean, with a mere
swish of a damp cloth. And the
money they save is proved by their
durability.
Use them in the kitchen, for
drapes, table cloth and chair-seat
covers. Line your pantry-shelves
with gay strips you can easily pink
yourself. Even make aprons of the
stuff! There’s plenty for you to
match up everything in your kitch
en!
Then how about your closets? It
will take only a few yards to line
the doors, walls and shelves of that
dark closet with a bright and sunny
pattern in oil cloth. And while
you’re about it, just dash off some
shoe bags to match.
Even the bedroom can bloom with
the bright touch of an oilcloth slip
cover over the bed’s headboard,
with a matching ruffle on your
vanity and seat-cover for your
vanity stool. And if you have some
material left, why not make your
own card-table covers?
There’s no end to the uses of these
oilcloths blooming this spring 09
your store shelves.
LAMP SHADE LAUNDRY
F OR THAT SPRING houseclean-
ing, are you planning to wash
those lamp-shades? You have your
pick of soap flakes and detergents
on your grocer’s shelves for the job.
But look well before you leap, lady,
for if shades are glued together,
you can save yourself from going to
pieces—they’ll do it for you. But if
they’re sewed together, you’re in
luck. They’ll launder beautifully
with a few swishes through the suds
end a whoosh through the rinsing
water. Better get a small can of
paint at the store, too, to apply a
coat to the wires, so they won’t rust
or stain.
Birth of Mill
Inflates Small
Eastern Town
MORRISVILLE, Pa. — Drastic
things can happen to a small town
when a big industry moves into the
area. A good example is Morris-
ville.
Located Just across the Delaware
river from Trenton, New Jersey’s
capital city, Morrisville was a
placid, largely-residential town un
til U.S. Steel Corp. purchased a
large tract of land on the outskirts
for a $400 million steel mill.
Already Morrisville’s population
has increased 500 from its six-
months-ago level. By the time the
plant is finished a couple of years
from now, some people figure the
inhabitants may number 10,000 or
more.
Desirable land has jumped in
price to $1,500 an acre from $300 two
years ago, before the steel mill
tract was put together. Big food
and department store chains are
searching for sites in and around
town. Hundreds of smaU business
men from other areas are negotiat
ing to buy property for commercial
use.
Local merchants are doing some
expanding of their own. One dairy
man built a dairy bar last July
within a stone’s throw of the mill
site. An innkeeper on a nearby main
highway is planning to double the
size of his restaurant floor space.
The Morrisville Bank is going to
more than double the size of its
quarters to take care of the expected
gain in business. A local druggist
figures his business will jump 20
per cent next year and is planning
accordingly.
To help serve the added popula
tion, the town fathers have au
thorized an expenditure of $3 mil
lion for 30 miles of sewers.
Not everybody in the town, of
course, is enthusiastic over the
coming of*the steel mill. “It can
only mean higher taxes to our old
residents as we add more police
men to the force, construct new
schools, and otherwise expand our
public plant,’’ one city official said.
And officials of the two concerns
already in the town aren’t happy
about competing in hte labor mar
ket with a bigger plant.

SCANNING THE WEEK’S NEWS
of Main Street and the World
Truman Says He Knows 1952 Plans;
Research Group Urges Higher Taxes
CONFIDENT HARRY—Harry S. Truman, appearing “fat and
sassy’’, as the home town folks would put it, was back in Washington
after his three-week vacation in Florida for a round of activities which
included greeting President Vincent Auriol of France, and a speech
before Latin-American foreign ministers, meeting in Washington to dis
cuss topics concerning western hemisphere peace and security.
But it wasn’t confident Harry’s speech making and social whirl that
made the biggest headlines In the nation’s press. It was his statement
that he knew whether or not he would seek re-election in 1952 that threw
Main Street voters into a surge of speculation. Mr. Truman told them
blandly that he had made up his mind and he would tell “all In due
time.’’

The statement also caused considera

Main Street voters were about equally
divided in their speculation.
One government official, however,
backed his belief with a public state

CONSUMER SPENDING—« the!
Committee for Economic Development,
a businessmen’s private research group,
had its way the people of the home
towns of the nation would face a $10
billion tax increase next year.-
The group recently proposed increasing federal taxes by that
amount, including a federal sales tax. The program was frankly tailored
to restraining consumer spending—by the sales tax and higher excise
taxes, a surtax on individual incomes, tight restrictions on bank credits,
and encouragement of private savings.
According to the C.E.D. the small town incoma group must pay be
cause “it is these incomes that provide the largest part of consump
tion expenditures.*’
TWO YEARS OF DRIVE Charles E. Wilson, top man of the ad
ministration’s mobilization effort, in bis first report said with two more
years of drive end unity, the U. S. should be strong enough to give
“reasonable safety against aggression” and a high-level civilian econo
my at the same time.
For the average American in the home towns of the nation, Wilson
listed these necessary efforts: (1) Virtually every qualified young man,
upon reaching a certain age, will have te serve in the armed forces;
(2) everyone will have to pay more taxes; (3) people will have to wait
for some of the things they want to buy—-new housing and automobiles;
(4) there will be dislocations in the economy and some production cut
backs and unemployment; (5) the technological and social progress of
the nation will be slowed down.
Upon one point he was insistent: In
flation must be stopped and the economy
controlled. In this category is farming,
on which the Main Street of America di
rectly or indirectly depends. He said
careful attention must be given to
changing the farm-price provisions of
the Defense Production Act “in such a
way as to accomplish a greater degree
of stability in food prices and at the
same time treat farmers equitably in
relation to the other elements of the
economy.”
As for present price controls, ho said:
“There is no doubt that, if price controls
bad not been put on, prices would have
risen much farther and faster since
January than they actually have.”
Mobilizer Wilson
Two years of work still ahead.
BISHOP GOES TO GRAVE—SITTING . . . The remains of the late
Bishop Genadios of Salonica, Greece, seated in the Episcopal throne,
are born through the streets of Salonica on a gun carriage daring the
funeral services of the bishop. It is the custom for dignitaries of the
Greek orthodox church, from the rank of bishop up, to be buried in
a sitting position.

The Americans are recovering from their ordeal.

Juraschek, Chicago, who led the
first American tanks that re

wife Marcia tells their week-old
baby that his father is a hero.
BRAN NAN'S PLAN— The people of the great midwest farm belt
where pondering the abrupt shake-up in the department of agriculture
by Secretary Brannan. The speculation began when Brannan suddenly
announced the replacement of Ralph S. Trigg and Frank K. Woolley in
the powerful production and marketing administration.
The people of America’s bread basket were wondering if the shake-
up may mark the start of another campaign to sell the nation on the
Brannan plan. The average midwest farmer has not been enthusiastio
about the secretary’s proposed program.
NEW SYSTEM—On April 30 grocery items comprising more than
60 per cent of the $32 billion spent annually for food in this country will
go under rigid margin controls at wholesale and retail levels.
Michael V. DiSalle, director of price stabilization, who announced
the new controls, reported the immediate “impact of these regulations
will be to reduce prices,” but he warned the Main Street housewife not
to expect big reductions.
Among the major foods covered in the new regulations are butter,
packaged cheese, baby foods, cocoa, breakfast cereals, coffee and tea.
Dour, flour mixes, canned and frozen fruits and vegetables, jams and
jellies, lard, mayonnaise and salad dressings, shortenings, canned meata
and canned fish.
Items not covered are fresh milk and cream, fresh meats, bread,
• fresh fruits and vegetables, sugar, ice
cream, soft drinks and candy, along
with many less important foods and
“specialty” items.

JAPANESE TREATY—The 14
tions concerned with a peace treaty
with Japan have received the American
version worked out by Ambassador John
Foster Dulles.
Generally regarded as a liberal docu
ment, the treaty appears in for consider
able difficulties before being accepted
by the 14 nations concerned. The Soviet
Union has taken the position that it does
not even want to discuss the matter.
Unexpected British opposition has al
ready been encountered with Great
Britain wanting a shipping limitation
written into the treaty. The U. S. is op
posed to any such clause.
As for the Soviet Union the U. S. has
Indicated it will negotiate, a treaty
whether the Russians participate or not.
CLAY RESIGNS—The resignation
of Gen. Lucius D. Clay as special as
sistant to Charles E. Wilson, director
of the office of defense mobilization,
as another move on the government’s
part to bring organized labor back into the mobilization program.
The way is now open for Wilson to name a representative of labor
to a post of equal importance with that of the general to act as liaison
between the mobilization director’s office and organized labor.
DISAPPOINTING FARM REPORT
1951 Crop Plantings Called Inadequate
A recent report by the agriculture
department indicated that farmers
were not planning to plant enough
crops In 1951 to maintain present
levels of food supplies. The report
raised the question whether the
country is not taking too much for
granted about our food production
and the possibility of future food
shortages, particularly of meat.
On the whole farm prices are
good enough to encourage larger
crops. Government crop reporters
who made the department survey
came up with two explanations for
reduced plantings: (1) A farm
labor shortage and (2) a reluctance
to plow up land which,, at govern
ment urging, had been returned to
grass.**
The outlook carries the threat of
rigid rationing by next year.
