T Of Animals' "lILw to & ftc,vC CT Ike Won't Get Christmas Present of Party Harmony By JAMES MARLOW WASHINGTON Wl Just about the nicest Christmas gift for President Eisenhower would be package of party harmony, wrapped in a guarantee that all Republicans in 11)54 would .see eye to eye on everything of inv portance. It's a gift he won't get. Two of the most powerful Republicans in Congress Thursday came out of a White House conference with Eisenhower disagreeing. One was the 63-year old John Taber with a face stern enough to be Biblical. Taber, a New York lawyer, built himself a repu tation thundering for economy. The other was Dewey Short of Missouri, 55, pink-chcckcd and balding. The highly educated Short, who went to Oxford and taught philosophy, has long been one of the main oratorical attrac tions of the House. WITH GESTUKES He first went there in 1020, five years after Taber. Short is an orator with gestures which are sometimes as good as the ora tory. Short's speeches bring Democrats and Republicans from offices and cloakrooms to listen, end watch. Leaving the White House, Ta ber, who once advocated a meat ix approach to government spend ing, said optimistically he thought next year's budget could stand big cuts. Short didn't see big cuts at all. As chairman of the House Ap propriations Committee, where all government spending bills have to start, Taber is in a prime posi- Brighten Your TreeNjJ with colorful N glistening packages of VRIGLEY'S SPEARMINT CHEWING GUM ass tion to try to make his predic tions of Thursday come true. All the agency and department heads must parade before him and his committee to explain why they think they need the money the budget says they need. It's the Taber committee's job to keep spending down. Short, however, is chairman of Red to Begin Prison Term NEW YORK Wl Robert G. Thompson, former New York State Communist chairman, was put on a train Saturday for At lanta, Ga., where he will serve a three-year prison term he was given for conspiring to advocate forcible overthrow of the govern ment. He delayed the penalty by jumping ball two years ago. But his flight, which ended in his re cent capture in a California hide out, resulted in conviction here for contempt of court, and the addition of four more years in prison. Ho will serve the original- three-year-tcrm first, and then be gin the four-year lap. Thomp son s original conviction was as ont of the nation's 11 top Communists. UO Graduate Takes Klamath County Job KLAMATH FALLS rtn Robert Kerr, Albany, became deputy dis trict attorney for Klamath Coun ty Saturday. District Attorney frank Aider- son said Kerr replaced Joe Thai hofer in the job. Thalhofer re signed to join the firm ot Cun ning and Brewster at Redmond, Ore. Kerr was graduated from the University of Oregon law school in 1052 and has been employed with a title company at Albany. the powerful House Armed Serv ices Committee, which gives him a wide view and deep knowledge of the needs of the armed forces. BIGGEST ITEM Since the money which Eisen hower will ask Congress to ap propriate for the armed forces will make up by far the biggest item, of government spending, Taber will probably try his big gest cuts there. Taber and Short both sounded off before the budget itself was complete. The Eisenhower ad ministration has been preparing it for months to submit to Con gress in January. Particularly the estimated spending for the armed forces isn't finished yet. Nevertheless, the budget was one of next year's problems which Eisenhower discussed with Re publican congressional leaders in going over the program he'll of fer Congress in January. The general public will he hearing about the budget, cutting it and balancing it, from now until next summer when Con gress will finally finish voting the money for the fiscal year starting July 1. Taber and Short symbolize the differences which will spring up in Congress among Republicans over government spending, even under Republicans. WILL NEED HELP The more Eisenhower gets into his program, the more differences he'll see among his Republicans. In the end he. may have to de pend on .Democrats, who weren't invited to the White House, to help him get his program over. But if it's any comfort to him, he can remember that former President Truman had a similar problem with his Democrats when he sat in the White House. FEELS BETTER NOW MINNESOTA m James E Tunnell, 2f, admitted Saturday ho set fires to It private gar ages because it made him "feel better" after arguments at home.

The cow, without upper teeth, pulls off grass with it. The dog sweats with his tongue and thereby reduces his body temperature. The parrot uses his soft tongue ITOPS IN QUALITY!! I 1 W BEWARE wCftJ j jllMITATIONS j low in price' for talking spitting a bird's tongue is senseless. The humming bird uses his for sucking up nectar. The fish, with reversed hinged teeth, for holding his prey, The snail, with thousands of tiny sharp teeth, for scraping off vegetable matter." The bat, flying back and forth over a still pool, for scooping up tiny mouthfuls of water. CHAMELEON CATCHES FLIES The chameleon for . . . but wait. Although the chameleon's body may be. but seven inches long, when a fly settles down 12 inches away, that fly will suddenly find itself fast on the tip of the chameleons flexible tongue, which has shot way out like a rubber band, without ji movement of its head,, almost twice the length ot its body. But even more amazing, I think, is the snake's tongue. It consists of two black cylinders held closely together at the base but separated toward the tips lo produce a forked effect. Doubling the tips, ot cousc, in creases its sensitivity. Sensitive as it may he, lhat still would count for little if it did not keep flicking that evil seeming though harmless organ in and out at a furious rate. Why? Because in the roof of the mouth some snakes have pits in which the forked tongue ends fit, called Jacobsons organ. These pits contain quantities of nerve endings, presumably to pick up messages and relay them. And as the tongue flicks back, it may discharge into these pit receptors the latest information. HEARS WITH TONGUE As a result, the snake has no ears it doesn't need them. This sensitive tongue has taken over tho function of alerting for prey or warning ot predators. Most snake eyes are weak, too -and again, the long flicking tongue seems to have taken over much of the work of the eyes. For example, bind the snake's eyes with adhesive tape and the snake will still continue lo pick up tho slightest sounds wilh ils tongue and veer toward the direction from which the sound came. So, as this delicate forked tongue is flicking in and out, our snake is experiencing . . well, what? Perhaps temperature changes. Perhaps scent. Perhaps taste. Terhaps sight. Terhaps hearing. Terhaps feeling. Per haps a combination of all these which we dullard's can't even comprehend. But one thing, sure, the snake rannnt use its complex organ for tongue lashing. That preroga tiv it reserved for ui humans. WELLCR. MOB5AN.. J-tl EVERYTHING'S CONG 10 H ALL RI6HT NOW.' I CEOTi APPRECIATC YOUR HAWS STOPPED BY !
