President Truman, bundled up
in a black, doublebreasted over
coat, headed the dignitaries who
sat in the open amphitheater un
der a steady snowfall.
The amphitheater's stone
benches were covered with ice
long before the ceremonies start
ed. Although the jets and the four-
motored bombers were missing,
all the other ceremonies that go
with the burial of a nation's hero
were observed.
There was the slow parade
down Constitution avenue, with
six white horses pulling the cais
son bearing the flag-covered
casket. Behind came a black
horse, with the symbolic empty
saddle.
As the procession approached
the knoll where the leader of
the world's mightiest air force

his final resting place, the snow
fell harder.
It covered the shoulders of
Gen. Omar Bradley, chairman
of the joint chiefs of staff. It

A meeting of 3000 angry United

near riot Thursday as rebeling
rank-and-file workers booed
down a UMW official without
hearing his appeal from John L.
Lewis for resumption of work.
Body guards were forced to
take UMW District No. 4 Presi

trict Secretary Michael Honus
from the hall. The miners
jeered and lunged at the pro
tecting guards as the officials
left Moose hall.
First fights broke out. Hynes
attempted to stop and talk to
reporters but his body guards
pulled him away,
Hynes managed to say that
lie had wanted to tell the miners
that Lewis wanted them to go
to work so the union "doesn't
run into an injunction."
"The miners have been en
slaved long enough by injunc
tion," he said. Then his sup
porters pulled him away and
into a waiting car.

Farmer Truman Beginning
To Be an 'Old City Slicker'
By MERRIMAN SMITH
Washington, Jan. 20 UR President Truman may be "just a
farmer from Missouri" like he says, but his White House staff
is glad he's getting to be an old city slicker in one respect:
He gets up later now.
Mr. Truman, an early riser since his farming days, used to set
Gen. MacArthur
In Good Health
Tokyo, Jan. 20 0J.R) Gen.
Douglas MacArthur is in "su
perb physical condition" on the
eve of his 70th birthday, his phy
sician said today.
, Lt. Col. Charles C. Canada
made public the following state
ment: "General MacArthur is in su-
p e r b physical condition as he
approaches his 70th birthday
(Jan. 26). He is as alert and vi
gorous as he has always been
throughout his active career. No
further proof is needed concern
ing his good health than the fact
that he did 365 full days of work
in the past year. With such a
rugged charge, what chance does
his doctor have?"
Dallas Streets
Clear of Snow
Dallas Big county road main
tainers dominated Dallas down
town streets Thursday afternoon
and for a few hours not a parked
car was to be seen.
As the heavy snows began to
thaw, gutters clogged and water
began to run across sidewalks,
The city engaged the county
maintainors to scrape snow from
the sides of the streets and into
the center of the main avenues.
In a few hours the job was
done and a long ridge of snow
separated travel lanes, but the
sides of the streets were clear
for the first time since the snow
started.
Meanwhile, residents and bus
inessmen were assessing damage
done by the silver thaw Wednes
day night and Thursday morn
ing. Many shrubs were broken
down and two short power fail
ures were noted.
Mrs. Don Greene, owner of
Mildred's beauty salon, came to
work Thursday morning to find
three inches of water standing
on the floor of the establishment.
The water came in from melting
snows when drain pipes clogged.
Bruce Cooley, owner of Coo-
ley Furniture company, stated
that a considerable quantity of
furniture, including mattresses
and bedroom sets, was damaged
when a down-spout clogged and
water flowed into his place of
business.
Streets, sidewalks, trees and
wires were covered with a heavy
coating of ice all day and rain
and sleet continued falling.
Hormones Slow
Cancer Tumors
Wichita, Kan., Jan. 20 0J.B
Two hormone treatments have
brought regressions in cancer
tumors, according to a report
made at the second annual mid
west cancer conference today.
The team of doctors who made
the report warned, however
that the treatments could not be
considered a cure for cancer.
The team, which included Dr.
Roy Hertz of the National Can
cer institute and Drs. J. K.
Cromer and Lois Piatt of the
George Washington University
Cancer Research service, said
huge doses of female hormones
were used in the treatments.
One of the hormones proges
terone which is secreted from
the female ovary, was adminis
tered to 20 women with advanc
ed cancer of the uterine cervix,
the report said.
In eight of these, lesions heal
ed, tumors became smaller and
bleedings were reduced and tis
sues became pliable, the doctors
claimed. The effects were not
as decisive in the other patients,
they said.
The second hormone, estrogen,
also secreted by the female
ovary, was administered 12 men
suffering prostatic cancer and
20 women with breast cancer.
The estrogen was dripped into
the veins of the patients for pro
longed periods, sometimes 72
hours. ,
The doctors reported a "visi
ble regression" of the growth in
the cancerous breast and that
several patients experinced re
lief of bone pain.

behind his White House desk at

ence with the staff around 9.
But things are different now.
He goes for a walk around 8,
shows up at his office at 9, and
holds his staff meeting about
10 or later.
White House sources deny
that the President Is getting soft.
They said he changed his sched
ule because of the late winter
dawn and because the old one
(1) interferred with secret serv
ice shifts and (2) was hard on
his late-sleeping staff.
Members of the staff were
quick to say they like the new
timetable a lot better.
But Mr. Truman wants it
known that he's still just a farm
boy at heart. He said so the
other night at a "get-acquainted"
dinner the federal reserve
board of governors gave for
bankers from New York and
Minneapolis.
The President told them he
had no right to be hobnobbing
with "financial brains."
"I'm just a farmer from Mis
souri, who had bad luck and
got kicked into a big job," he
said.
He said the only reason he
showed at all was "to meet you
and get acquainted with you,
and to let you know that in spite
of certain information, which
has been pretty well distributed,
that I do not wear horns and I
haven't a tail.
"I am just an ordinary citizen
of this great republic of ours."
In a more serious vein, Mr.
Truman appealed to the bankers
to help him bring peace out of
the current east-west struggle.
Whether we like it or not,"
he said, "we are at the top of
the heap in world affairs, a po
sition which none of us likes to
contemplate, a position that has
responsibilities almost too big
for any man or any group of
men to contemplate.
"Yet that position is ours. And
the fact that we are willing to
assume the responsibility that
goes with that position is a part
of your responsibility as well
as the responsibility of the U.S.
government."

Orville Betts, the bass fiddler,
and Jack Bergland on the drums.
They will be seen at the Glen-

Uncle Sam Doesn't Want to
Miss a Nose in 1950 Census
By HARM AN W. NICHOLS
(United Preu SUff correspondent) I
Washington, Jan 20 (U.R) When Uncle Sam goes out to count
noses, he doesn't want to miss a nose.
Starting April 1, the census taker will start counting. He'll
knock maybe more than once on every door in the land
to find out how many people we have in the U. S., what each
person does for a living and how
manv mother hen. in the backl
yard.
It's a thorough-going job. But
your Uncle has jusr. admitted
with a red face that in the last
census, in 1940, he missed maybe
half a million noses. Those folks
happened to be in hotels when
the count was made.
Your Uncle corrects his mis
takes.
The Department of Commerce
has announced that on April 11,
we'll have what will be known
as "T-night," or transient night.
The government and the
American Hotel association had
quite a fuss about it at first.
Should the census people go
around hammering on doors at
all hours to route out hotel
guests for a count of noses?
Should the government tag
folks as they went through re
volving doors?
The hotel men said "no." Al
though they had no right to be
cause the Uncle is the ruler and
could do just that if he felt like
it.
So the hotels and the census
people got together and devised
a plan.
Hotels that have 50 rooms or
more come under the program
if at least 20 per cent of the
guests are transients. A person
who registers on the night of
April 11 will get a census form
along with his key. It will be
an individual form not the fam
ily job which calls for all of the
information back to the third
generation.
Says Johnson
Wrecks Defense
Washington, Jan. 20 (IP)
Senator McCarthy (R.-Wis.) to
day called Secretary Johnson "a
dictator who has just about
wrecked the defense depart

Matthews is "an unfortunate lit
tle man who has to be a yes
man lo noid his job he has to
follow a goose-stepping mood."
McCarthy called a news con
ference to loose these fresh darts
at the officials.
He has directed a drumfire of
criticism at them since the oust
er of Adm. Louis E. Denfeld as
chief of naval operations and
cutbacks in the navy and ma
rine corps. The senator was a
wartime marine officer.
McCarthy disputes the legality
of Denfeld's removal. Senator
Tydings (D.-Md.), chairman of
the armed services committee,
has promised the senate he will
get the facts and put them be
