Dewey Grills
Chinese Policy
Hamilton, N. J., July 29 U.R
Gov. Thomas E. Dewey accused
the Truman administration to-
dav of throwing the key to
world peace "into the bottom of
the Pacific" because of its "no
policy-at-all" toward China.
In a speech prepared for the
Colgate university foreign pol
icy conference, he said all is not
lost with the nationalist forces
if the U. S. offers immediate and
continuing aid.
"What is to be done about
China?" he asked. "I know and
you know that there is no sim
ple answer, but you and I know
equally well that there can be
neither excuse nor reason for
timidity and muddle-headedness
on the part of our . government
in attempting a solution.

Dividend for
Policy Holders
Application blanks for the
$2,800,000,000 National Service
Life insurance special dividend
to be paid to some 16,000,000
present and former policyhold
ers will be available for veterans
August 29.
Government printing office
currently is running off 70,000,-
000 of the forms, which will be
available in every post office,
VA office and at veterans' serv
ice organizations beginning Au
gust 29.
First phase of the huge insur
ance dividend operation is vir
tually completed, with high
microfilming machines complet
ing the job of photographing the
last group of more than 22,000,
000 premium record cards.
All the veteran needs to do is
to obtain the application, a
three fold card containing all
the instructions necessary to get
the dividend, fill it out and mail
it to the VA. In event the vet
eran does not know the number
of his insurance policy, the ap
plication can readily be identi
fied by service number, rank
and the exact name used during
service with the armed forces.

veterans to write about their in
surance number or about the
status of their dividend applica
tion. The VA will mail each
veteran a part of the application
form to show that it has been
received and is being processed.
Writing will only delay payment
because it will be necessary to
withdraw the application from
the application line. Mailing of
chicks will start sometime in
January of next year.
Flying Saucers Prove
Only Thistledown
Yakima, July 29 WP) A news
man debunked "flying saucers'
yesterday as nothing but this
tledown. The reporter was sent out to
check when Mrs. Esther Horn, a
Gleed school teacher, reported
seeing "revolving, round and
shiny" objects flying "quite
high."
"It was just thistledown," he
reported after watching three of
the "objects" from Mrs. Horn's
backyard.
"When seen against the blue
sky with nothing to compare
with, the thistledown appeared
several thousand feet in the air.
he said. "Actually it was only
about 50 feet up."

Portland Faces
Bus Strike
Portland, July 29 (IP) The
threat of ,,a bus and streetcar
siriKe Sunday laces rortiana.
A long delay in promised arbi
tration led AFL motormen to
call the strike to be averted
only if arbitration proceedings
start in the meanwhile.
The Union and the Portland
Traction company agreed March
31 on arbitration of demands,
including a 25-cent hourly wage
increase. The long illness of L
C. Stoll, chairman of the Port
land labor management commit
tee, prevented the start.
Stoll was to have been chair
man of the arbitration board.
The union in voicing its strike
threat proposed that the other
two officers of the labor-management
committee select an
other chairman. One of the off!
cers represents employers, the
other labor.
Officials of the traction com
pany and the union were to con
fer today.
