Red Penetration In Government Said Hot Fully Exposed Washington UJ3 Senate In vestigators said yesterday that Soviet agents penetrated the government during .the Roose velt and Truman administrations and charged that "powerful groups and individuals within the executive branch" hindered efforts to eliminate them. A report by the Senate In ternal Security subcommittee said the successful and impor tant penetration of the United States government by alleged Reds in past years "has not been fully exposed." It said "there is ample evi dence that the FBI and other agencies learned the underlying facts of the Communist conspir acy and time and time again performed their duty and noti fied the proper administrative agencies of this information." But, the committee said, the loyalty program broke down chiefly because executive agen cies failed to act on the informa tion and fire the alleged Reds. The subcommittee said it nev er will be known "how many priceless American secrets have been conveyed to Moscow through the tunnels of the Amer ican Communist underground." Finding of Mastodon Brings Problem Mogadore, O. U.PJ For 10, 000 years bones of a mastodon lay preserved in a layer of peat near here before they were dis covered and. removed for mod ern man's instruction. Then William Scheele, direc tor of the Cleveland Museum of Natural History, had a probe lm. When the near-perfect, prehis toric, elephant-like animal., was found everyone was very happy. However, it's necessary to pre serve the bones somehow; else they disintegrate. Scheele wasn't certain where to locate the compound used to encase the bones. It's called "alow." Scheele said, "and we've had an awful time trying to get the stuff w - ACCUSED OF BEATING Actress Kay Williams, his former wife.

(InttitatiomU) Developments Seen To Ease School Burden Chicago (U.R) Suburban residential areas have found that commercial and industrial devel opments can ease the tax burden of public schools, according to the Municipal Finance Officers Association. The association cited a recent study of Anne Arundel County, Md., a community that is primar ily residential- An analysis of one large hous ing development showed that each school child required $107 of county taxes per year. The development was supplying about 50 per cent of that re quired amount. The study also showed that county services required by in dustrial or commercial develop ments were low in cost compared to those required by residential areas. As a result, the association said, taxes on such property could be used to offset the cost of services for residential areas. In a similar study, it was found that the average home in a new subdivision in San Mateo Coun ty, Calif., yielded less than $50 a year in taxes for school pur poses. It cost the county $204 to maintain a child in school one year, npt counting capital ex penditures of bond costs. Many of the homes in the area sent more than one child to school. , Tuesday August 15. ItSS MEDFORD (OREGON! MA2L TO8TJR Ex-VAC Turns Mechanic To Repair Own Automobile Dallas, Tex. 0U9 What may be a thing of the future was recently demonstrated by a young woman in Dallas. It's women fixing their own cars. Husky, six-foot Tiny Drews wheeled her car into a "fix-it-urself" garage recently. The ad vising mechanic told her the 1941 model auto needed a new front end. Undaunted after six hours of work. Mist Drews emerged from under the renovated car with a few word of advice about wo men mechanics. , The ex-WAC said "anyone with the slightest Idea of mech anics should be able to fix her own car, particularly if there's someone around to give advice when you run into trouble." The 190-pound girl was deter mined that she'd fix her own .buying her own' parts, renting car, which she had bought forla stall and equipment at the 35 dollars. She felt that when a person gets "something for prctically nothing," she "ought to try end get something out of it." That's exactly what Miss Drews did. Saves $30 ' Enlisting the aid of a friend, petite Mary Taylor, blonde Miss Drews went to work on her veh icle. The garage furnished the necessary items such as hand tools, hydraulic Jack, creepers (to swing under the car with ease), and spring pullers. Miss Drews had already purchased the parts to replace those which were worn out. . A regular garage had Inform ed Miss Drews that the work on her auto would probably cost more than $50. However, by garage, and furnishing her own labor, the thrifty ex-WAC did the Job for $20. The Job consisted in part of pulling the front wheels off and putting new spindlepins and bushings. After six hours beneath the auto, Miss Drews was still smil ing, although she admtted she was glad the job was done. She told the garageman that she had better hurry home to change her grease smeared clothes, as her boy friend was coming over. Male Unchallenged When asked if she thought she'd started a trend In women mechanics, Miss Drews laugh ingly said, "Women will never leave the lipstick and powder off." She said she believed the ratio of "one thousand mala mechanics to one female will re main unchanged." Miss Drew's partner. Miss Taylor, wasn't quite as enthused over the mechanical work. In fact, she said she was "sort of duped" into the Job. Miss Taylor said "Tiny" had asked her if she'd like to do something exdfr ing to which she naturally an swered "yes," after which she was taken to the garage. Miss Drews is employed as an electrical draftswoman for the Texas Power and. Light comp any. She served overseas with the WACs during World War H. After the two girls had fin ished the six-hour Job, the advis ing mechanic remarked that they had sought less advice from him than many male customers.
