WHO DOES WHAT bTt"
x il !t Plcrured above s he busies himself with
one of the very many phases connected with the installation of a
pr,VaBDvianCh telePhone exchange at the News-Review. An ex
pert PBX Installer, he was joined here by another from the Port
land telephone office, and the two have spent the past several
days making both ends of what looks like millions of small wires
meet.
When this system is completed the girls in the front office
will be saved running their legs off all over the joint (pardon
me) delivering messages. Then I suppose without this exercise
they'll get fat. I suppose there's no such thing in the world as an
unmixed blessing.

Russia Trims Interest
In Payment To Uncle Sam
WASHINGTON, July 7 (JP)
State. Department officials dis
closed today that Russia, without
explanation, shaved about two
thirds from its latest lend-lease
interest payment to the United
States.
Moscow met a July 1 deadline
for the payment, but sent a check
for only $1,481,715. The State
Department figured more than
$5,000,000 was due.
Officials speculated the , arbi
trary cut was made because the
United States has held up postwar
shipments of machinery and other
exports originally ordered by
Russia under an agreement of
Oct. 15, 1945.
This explanation was given
last year and in 1947 when Mrs
cow similarly trimmed its inter
est payment, although to a lesser
extent than this year.

It was more hot and humid

day. No widespread relief was in
sight from the week-long heat
wave.
Showers and cool air brought a

in the drought-stricken North

no heavy rains were forecast.
Deaths attributed to the hot

Cool air fanned out over the
dry-stricken areas of New Eng

U.S. Reaches
Limit Of Aid
To England
Impending Marshall Plan
Payment Apt To Be Last,
Opinion In Congress
By JACK BELL
WASHINGTON, July 7. (JP)
Great Britain seemed likely to
day to get American sympathy
and not much else in her new
est financial plight.
Members of Congress gener
ally reacted cooly to the an
nouncement that Britain is down
to her last $1,642,000,000 in gold
and dollars. Their general ob
servation was that the problem
is one the British will have to
solve for themselves without In
creased U. S. financial aid.
In diplomatic circles, Secretary
of State Acheson displayed a
tendency to discount the British
situation somewhat.
He said that, like an individual
whose income drops, Britain was
cutting her purchases. He added
this was an unfortunate tem
porary necessity, however, and
not a pern-mnP'it solution.
Unless Congress changes the
figure, England will get $920,
000,000 in Marshall Plan aid this
year. That was taken into ac
count by Sir Stafford Cripps, fi
nance minister, in announcing
drastic cuts in buying from the
U. S. and other dollar areas.
Democrats and Republicans
joined in saying that beyond the
Marshall Plan aid the British
had better not count on addition
al U. S. help.

WASHINGTON, July 7. n

expected to hand the trimmed
down measure to President Tru
man before the day is over, fol

mise from late yesterday by a
House-Senate Conference com
mittee. The bill, marking the first
major success for Mr. Truman's
"fair deal" program, was passed
in differing versions by the Sen
ate and House. It calls for a multi-billion
dollar program of pub
lic housing, slum clearance and
farm housing aids.
All that was needed before Mr.
Truman could sign the compro
mise into law was its approval
by the two chambers of Congress.
Administration leaders, who
had barely snatched the bill's
public housing feature from de

over the prospect of seeing it An
