York U.F The last player piano was built in Amer ica ixul927r but a diehard manu facturer of piano rolls has been bringing out new numbers regu larly ever since and he's not about to admit he's beat. In fact, said Max Kortlander, president of the Imperial Indus trial Co., business is picking up. "You couldn t say there is a revival of player pianos because no one. '. is ; building any new ones."- ;Player pianos, which gathered dust in basements through the 1930's and 1940's : are ; coming back into their own here and there in rumpus rooms, bars and recreation halls. Imperial Industrial is the only company turing out piano rolls today,' They look just like the old ones as far as spool and the myriad punched holes are con cerned, but the music is strictly up to date. ; "Our arrangements have kept pace with the times,". Kortland er said. "None of the tremolos and other effects people ; assoc ate with player pianos." The pianist who does ' most of the company's arrangements and cuts the master rolls is Lawrence Cook. He has been at the same job for 33 years, but his style today is no more dated than the titles of his latest. rolls, which include "Let . Me Go, Lover," "Hajji Baba" and "Count Your Blessings." - -; y: vi Player pianos became popular around the turn of the century, W.

AFL Brotherhood of Painters, Decorators and Paper hangers of America is more than agreeable... j. , : Things ' eventually may get back like old tfmes when a man who could run a brush over a house or barn, . also could slop paste on the dull side of wall paper and. , hang-it. on Jhe. right: place, straight up. - , I A survey by ; the Wallpaper' Council was, made and the results- were shocking. Painters, who also know how to decorate a wall with paper, average about three more months . of steady work a year than painters who don't. It's even worse with the paperhanger who knows nothing but paste -and can't mix .white lead and blend it with, sky-blue. Bob; Series,, secretary of the Wallpaper Council, : told me about some of the new things in wallpaper. There is a new de mand for "rec rooms," as he call ed them. Recreation rooms. There must be,' he said, a har mony in color and "wall paper can be more tasteful than paint, unless you - have an artist to do the job,' and that runs into more money than the . average home owner can pay." ' -Cows Like Idea - Bob also gave me some little stories ' about paperhangers, none of which have to do with one-armed ones. No such a fel low, said he, so far as he knows According to my informant, there is a dairy operator in Tex as who papers the walls of his cow - barns, making for' more contented cows who then are more inclined to give down more milk. ' There is a Mrs. Tom Porter of Clayton, Mo., who owns a wall paper store. She advertises her business by pasting a different paper design on the top of her sedan'each week. Says it brings in a lot of new business. . Black and white horizontally banded buoys in waterways mark the limits of areas in which fish nets and traps are permitted.

The Communists had been scheming for power for 30 years but until the Soviet army let them move into Manchuria in its wake to collect the vast arms supplies of the Japanese army, the Communists were poorly equipped. Some even carried spears. ' . The mission of Gen. George C. Marshall to Chungking and Nan king in 1945-47 to win peace for ravaged China and end the Civil war was seized upon by the Com munists as a golden opportunity. While their ' spokesman, Chou En-lai, negotiated in the National ist capital and drank toasts to the United States, the Commu nists built up their forces in Manchuria. It was there they be gan their offensive that drove the Nationalists to exile. on For mosa. Second Largest Army . In the five years since then the Chinese Communists have built the second largest army in the world behind Russia and have demanded recognition. The man most closely identi fied with the rise of Red China is Chou, now the Premier and Foreign Minister. He has brought Red China to the threshold of being a recognized world power, often at gunpoint, during the past five years. During much of that period he has carried on a one-man 'war with, .the .United States. - - He is suave and handsome and has a ready smile. He has been accused of killing political en emies with his bare hands. He has toasted the United States at Chinese banquets, but he hates the United States probably more than any man alive. - Chou, the official spokesman of . C h i n e s e Communism for many- years, a -man who could charm - American diplomats and generals into believing that red was some other color, feels that Red; China is powerful enough tbbe acceptSa as Tone of the Big Five . with - Russia, i the ! United States, Britain and France. Supplies From Russia . i The Chinese Communist' arm ies have grown steadily in size and power until an estimated 10,000,000. men are in uniform, some 3,000,000 to 4,000,000 in a well equipped army, the second largest in the world. - Chou has the military might to back up many of his demands. Soviet Russia has supplied Peip ing "with "a huge air force, in cluding MIG15 fighters and big bombers. The Soviets have sup plied: a navy too, and possibly some submarines. The army's equipment is modern Chinese artillery helped pound Dien Bien Phuv into submission: ; - r -Unofficial reports from inside Red China say Chinese industry is once again booming, .with the steel; mills' and coal mines of Manchuria t u r n-i n g out even more arms for the mighty Chi nese -army.
