A Cold War Maneuver UMM
President Truman has warned Russia to keep hands off SIPS FOR SUPPER
Yugoslavia, a major target of boviet threats, and instruct
ed George V. Allen, ambassador to Yugoslavia, to so in
form the Tito government. He leaves December 28 for
that country.
When asked after a farewell call on Mr. Truman, wheth
er he had received any special instructions, Allen replied :
"Yes, the president confirmed that the United States is
unalterably opposed to aggression wherever it occurs or threat
ens to occur, and iurthermore that the United States supports
the principle of the sovereign independence of nations.
As regards Yugoslavia we are just as opposed to aggression
against that country as to any other country and just as favor
able to the retention of Yugoslavia's sovereignty."

By DREW PEARSON
Washington Friends of Gen. Leslie Groves planted a story

innuendo to Fulton Lewis's' charges" that Henry Wallace urged
shipfnents of atom materials to Russia.
Groves was planning, according to Newsweek, to say that he

A new and startling viewpoint of Marshal Stalin's amazing

protested the barber. "That

Barkley said nothing, picked
up a paper and waited until an
other chair was vacant, then
proceeded to get his haircut. Bif

barber was free. Meanwhile, the
third chair still remained va

Finally Biffle remarked in an
undertone to his barber: "Do

Biffle's barber went over and

of consternation. Then suddenly
the customer who outranked the

barbershop.
It was Walter Winchell.
Johnny, There Is a Santa Claus!
Medford, Mass., Dec. 23 UP) The voice of Santa Claus
boomed from a rooftop,
"What do you mean I'm not real?"
A little tyke in the crowd gazing up at the spotlighted
Santa winced.
He had been telling his little friends "He ain't real all he
does is stand there."
The voice called out again:
"Johnny Williams, why do you tell your little friends such
things. Of course Santa is real and he'll come to visit good
boys."
That was the clincher. Johnny Williams now ls a firm be
liever. The voice was that of Alderman George F. Callahan
thrown from his living room through a loud speaker rigged
to Santa.
"My biggest problem now," says Santa, "Is getting the
kids to go home to bed."
