For Chinese Reds
Washington (U.R) Sen. Wil
liam E. Jenner (R-Ind.) said to
day that 'Some means must be
found to curb the activities' of
' from RaH fhina and hemn
"propoganda agents" for the Chi
nese Communists.
Jenner said "at the very least,
they should be required to reg
ister as foreign agents."- ".
Jenner. made the comments in
a statement released at the same
time he made public the printed
record of Senate Internal Secur
ity Subcommittee " hearings .at
which Mrs Sylvia Campbell
Powell refused to tell whether
the had been a Communist. The
hearings was held . Dec. ; 13 in
San Francisco. Jenner was then
chairman of the subcommittee
but Sen. Herman Welker (R-Ida.)
conducted tne Hearing.
Mrs. Powell is the wife of John
W. Powell, editor of the China
Review in Shanghai. ,' He testi
fied before the subcommittee
earlier. .
Jenner said Powell and Wil
liam Minion, anotner earner wit-
Jiess, had "acqnowledged that
iny nad been lecturing or writ
ing, in praise of Communist
China ever since their return, but
neither ' would beveal who was
sponsoring their work or give
ny details of their activities."

Who is the richest man in the
world? For many years it was
generally acknowledge to be the
Nizam of Hyderabad. Now it is
a disputed question. Some say
the rating belongs to a Texas oil
tycoon, others 6ay it is a Greek
shipping magnate. However,
don't ? worry . about the Nizam.
That old boy. is still in the chips.
His fortune is conservatively es
timate to be1 about $255,000,000.
The Nizam, now 70, is in the
pocket size class physically. His
height is 5 feet 2, and his weight
95 pounds. . He has four wives,
16 concubines and 36 children.

-Ten years ago the average bar
in this country was extracting
25 drinks, from a fifth of Scotch
whisky Now the average is 32
drinks from a fifth and the price
per drink is higher. . . . A vet
eran traveling man recalls the
hostelry called the Kirby House

were not numbered. Each room
had a different name.- The bridal
suite, was named "Paradise."

That remarkable vocalist, Jen

Swedish Nightingale." That was
complimentary to her and to the
nightingale, but how about these
young females who so stridently
sing the vocals in dance bands?
They are called "canaries." Is
that fair to the canary? : :; r.

Do you. know an executive
who has a secretary taller: than
he is? The .man is making a mis

likely to give a short executive
an inferiority complex. He
should have a petite female for
an ' amanuensis. However, if he
feels his current girr Friday is
indispensable, he should acquire
a pair of height building shoes.
Or, so it is indicated by a check

Princess Margaret
Starts First Leg
Of Western Jaunt
London (U.R) Princess Mar
garet, 24-year-old sister of Queen
Elizabeth,; took off on her; first
trip to the New World today
on a flight that gusty Atlantic
winds may divert to Canada.
Queen Elizabeth and the Duke
of Edinburgh led a crowd of
2000 in waving farewell to the
little princess as the American

climbed from London Airport
and headed west. ' ;
Plana Rerouted
The Canopus originally was
scheduled to fly Princess Mar
garet for a four-week tour of
the Wes t Indies by way of
Gander, Newfoundland. But the
sleek airliner was rerouted short
ly . before take-off td travel by
way ' of Goose Bay, Labrador,
with Mohckton, .New Brunswick,
as an alternative airfield. -Unaccompanied
by Royalty
However, a spokesman ; for
British Overseas Airways said
that "if favorable winds prevail,
the aircraft may pass .either
place and land at Montreal."
The pretty princess started her
first trip unaccompanied by
other, royaltyj-aboard the same
blue and white luxury airliner
previously . used . by , the Queen
and Prime Minister Winston
Churchill.

LA
New; York (U.R) - Although
highway: engineers cannot esti
mate .how much wear and" tear
on motorists' nerves " would be
saved by modernized roads, they
have come up . with . some fig
ures on what this would mean
in time savings.
A study by Universal C.I.T.
Credit ' Corp., largest independ
ent auto finance company, shows
the average speed of passenger
cars could" be increased safely
as much as 25 per cent. In other
words, a four-hour trip could be
cut to three hours.
, The study was based on tests
conducted by the Public Roads
administration. S pee d s vere
clocked on a 21-mile stretch of
old road. Then the eld. road was
modernized to eliminate unnec
essary curves, grades, and to in
crease sight distance and thus
permit more . safe passing, and
tests were run again.

Soldiers Overseas
Washington--j(U.R) Rep. Paul
Cunningham (R.-Ia.) today called
for a halt in sending families of
servicemen overseas until there
is less prospect of Wari . S
Defense Secretary Charles E.
Wilson said that if war breaks
out U.S. . servicemen - may be
more worried about getting their
families home than they are
about' fighting,, ' Cunningham
agreed.-- :
Dangerous Thing , "" f
, "Right now it i seems a very
dangerous thing to do to send
families overseas," Cunningham
told a reporter. He said that' he
would ask, the House, Armed
Services committee, of which he
is a member, to look into the
problem." '
Wilson told the committee last
week the administration hopes'
to cut down the . number of
troops overseas and let U.S- al
lies supply more of the '.man
power needed to hold the line
against Communist' aggression.;
-" "We . get into a very . tough
problem with dependents' if we
keep our troops overseas too
long," Wilson testified. "They
want to live like other Ameri
cans. They want their families
with them. t-
Different Problem '
" "Then we have difficult prob
lems in those countries," Wilson
said. "And if we ever-got into a
war the boys would ' be more
worried ': about how they ; got
their dependents back home than
they would be fighting, and I
wouldn't blame them."
There are about 305,000 . de
pendents with servicemen sta
tioned overseas. It costs about
$70,000,000 a year more to send
them and keep them over there
than if they stayed home. The
armed services supply not . only
transportation' but also shopping
facilities and schools..
Search for Missing
Plane May Be Dropped
Cheyenne, Wyp.--(U.R) State
Aeronautics -Director George
Nelson - said the - search for a
plane missing with two Cali
fornia businessmen ince last
Thursday, probably would be
suspended today. ,
Nelson said the weary Civil
Air Patrol pilots would be put
on "standby notice" if he decides
to call off the search.
Nelson also said it was pos
sible the plane crashed in either
Colorado or Utah with its occu
pants, T. W.- Masters, the pilot,
and Clarence Milligan, an auto
dealer. Both are from Chico,
Calif.
Nelson and other aeronautics
officials expressed doubt the two
still were alive. - -
