This Indignity to his caudal appendage was in
flicted last Friday when the U. N.
assembly, overriding British op
position, adopted several measures
calling for more information
about tht worlds non-self-governing
peoples. The action came on
the heels of a flat declaration by
Hector McNeil. British minister
of state, that his country couldnt
accept International Interference
with any areas now under the
British flag.
A particularly outspoken reac
tion was voiced by Lord Beaver
brook's London Sunday Express
which declared the U. N. was "making its first move
to pluck the British empire to piece." The paper
urged Britain to withdraw from the U. N, and as
serted:
"The Jackals are leaping on the lion because they
think he Is mangy. It la time to show there Is life.
vigor and a good roar to him yet."
w HERS is of count no reason to think for
I moment that Britain Intends to withdraw from
the peace organisation. However, my Inquiries In In
formed British quarters make it quite clear that
there Is strong Indication over what Is regarded as
Interference with Britain's colonial prerogatives.
So while w needn't expect anything to drastic
as withdrawal from the U. K. yet the signs right
now are that London, might refuse to cooperate In
carrying out U. N. ideas which the British govern
ment feels are trespassing on private preserves. Eng
land regards her colonies as her 'Own business.
British officials take the position that, with some
SO0 years of colonial experience behind her. England
ought to know what she Is doing. Sht thinks tht
British colonial policy, which calls for ultimate in
dependence. Is a good one. She points to her seven
Independent dominions as evidence that the system
works well. Sht doesnt want Irresponsible criticism,
and doesnt want to bt asked to do things which
she already Is doing.
All this applies to Britain's own colonies. So far
as concerns th trusteeships, she indicates willing
ness to provide all information requested by the
Pce organisation. British sources say then is no
desire on their part to put an Iron curtain around
tht colonies.

U.S. Scientific Research
Bill $VA Billion this Year
By JAMES HARLOW
N
WASHINGTON. Dec. ft (vTn
find various ways of making life
long and better and short and awful,
the government is spending almost
tm billion this year on scientific
research.
The work ranges all the way from
work on cancer and heart and syn
thetic rubber to atomic energy for
better bombs and weapons for the
army, navy and air force.
The military forces art getting
more than half the money being
pent on research.
Rounds
In a talk to a group of scientists.
iuiu n. Bieeiman, assistant to Pres
went Truman, told some of the
story. He said:
"The Importance of science to our
national life has been dramatized
for all Americans by the atom
bomb and the tremendous potenti
alities of atomic power, but on a
thousand less publicised fronts the
researcher and the technician are
working together in the search for
truth. . . .
"As the president said. ... the
knowledge that we now have is but
a fraction of the knowledge that we
must get, whethe. for peaceful pur
poses or national defense."
The government's budget for scl
entlfio research this year totals
S1J80.000.000. It breaks down this
way, with a brief explsnstion for
eacn nem:
Atomic energy 1330.000.000.
this includes benefits to medicine
and other fields of life, besides the
bomb.
Federal security administration.
42.000,000. ... this goes into re.
search for public health. Including
cancer, heart disease. Infantile pa.
ralysls.
General services administration,

ing laboratories for other agencies.
National advisory committee on
aviation, (70.000.000. . , . this com.
mlttee Is made up of civilians and
military men. Almost all of this
work la being dont In government

ment ot fertiliser.
Agriculture department, 155,000,

this includes research on weapons

Interior department S46.000.000.
this includes geological surveys In
searcn lor minerals.
All others (Including maritime
commission, state department, re.
construction finance corporation,
veterans administration), 123100,000
. . . . this ranges from develop
ment of cultural relations with other
countries, particularly Latin Ameri
ca, to synthetic rubber and the mak
ing ot artificial limbs for veterans.
Outside Aid
About t425.000.000 of the money Is
being spent In non-government lab
oratories, going to universities and
industry for various purposes. Fed
eral research In colleges and uni
versities Is costing about 1100,000.-000.
Said tteelman: "Federal research
funds constitute a substantial por
tion of the research budget In many
institutions, often averaging well
over 60 per cent ot their entire re
search budget.
The rest of the t4 25.000 .000 e otnc
Into non-government laboratories
or about 1325.000.000 Is being spent
In industrial laboratories. So Indus

ernmental spending on research was
only about 1166,000,000.

Women Insist on giving men ties.

But there are bolder wava out

one angry gentleman reported.
Another man ssld he had found
It easy to cure his wife of giving
nlm neckties.
"I Just started wearing them with
my tuxedo." he said. "Sht didn't

A bachelor of my acquaintance.
on the other hand, stoutly Insists
he wouldnt give up the pleasure
of Christmas neckties tor anything.
"I use the drar ones to line my
closets," he said, "and I tramt the
bright ones and hang them up as
pictures. You ahould see them
nudes, landscapes, hunting scenes.
You have no Idea what tint art

Another fellow weaves them Into
skipping ropes for his daughters.
One father I Know saves the cheap

"I get so tired of seeing those

Ftah Wrappings
An old friend said that for years
he had found the most satisfactory
system for getting rid ot unwanted
ties was to leave them with the
neighborhood fish market

lamented. "I dont know what to do

With me it Is no troublt at all

Idea of simply dropping them In an
envelope and addressing It to the
company that made them. This
worked fine sometimes I even got
a new blade back.

But now, whenever anyone gives
me a Christmas necktie. I kill two
birds with one stone. I simply send
htm a used razor blade by return

find It of some use.
And whether he ruts his throat
with It or not well at least ht
won't send me any more Christmas

asserting that the party cant win

Tlit blood contains small' round

There are more than 16.000 ruble

celts contain a red coloring matter
hemoglobin which carries oxy

too few red blood cells or not
