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

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. ,

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.
