POLITICS: Sound & Fury The sound and fury of the up-coming congressional elections was increasing in volume. If the Re-publicans could make it stick, they had found their issue: "Liberty against Socialism." HOWEVER, it appeared the GOP was running into the same old trouble inability to get along. The "me too" element, while pretend-ing, or appearing, to have changed its collective minds, was, never-theless chomping at the bit when called upon to embrace a more lib-eral attitude. In an 11-d- closed meeting, mem-bers of the Republican national committee and house and senate Republicans attempted to iron out their differences. They had hoped that a proposed statement of "prin-ciples and objectives" would serve to unify the party and serve as a basic platform for the cam-paign electioneering. .Out of the welter of discord came these arguments within the party: Vigorous opposition to most of Mr. Truman's Fair Deal policy. A middle-groun- d on U.S. foreign policy, advocating continuance of the policy, but sharply Criticising thf administration nf it BRITAIN: Warning Sounded The pledge of Anthony Eden, British deputy Conservative lead-er, who, with Winston Churchill and other party big-wig- s in today's is hoping to overthrow the Labor party, that the Conser-vatives will work with all nations fur peace, might have meant more than it indicated. EDEN, being the astute world diplomat that he is, must know that there are elements in many places, particularly the United States, who feel that there must be no further support of power for the Labor party in England. With the Laborites' position often regarded as the fostering of socialism, the more conservative Tieonle everywhere fear it. It has Thundering Again - r if-- , f j4 " A I x" 4' I been an amazing thing to most stu-dents of world history how the British, traditionally jealous of their liberties, ever permitted the Imposition of this kind of govern-ment upon them. A reduction of the answer to fundamentals might explain that it came about only through the economic distress of the once proud and mighty empire. IT 15? APPARENTLY assured Like a stuck Vlctrola record or an old movie constantly John L. Lewis, mine union czar, was In the news again, this time with another coal strike on the boards. Lewis gestures as he appears before the conference table during contract renewal talks which broke down. Particular condemnation of "sec-ret agreements" at Yalta and Pots-dam. Opposition to the spread of com-munism. Denunciation of any socialized health program, wage and price control, the Brannan plan. RETURN to a balanced budget and repeal of wartime excise taxes. A fair nrir-- fnr tVltt facmare' that whatever the outcome, the Labor party faces its severest test In today's election. Eden warned, in the first broad-cast of a Conservative speech in the Just-ende- d campaign, that the "United Nations is at its lowest ebb, the democracies are forced to pay dearly for armaments, and the nightmare of communism stalks through Asia." He made a telling point in recalling that the Labor party in 1945 declared that If it were returned to power, it could get along with the Russians because of its Socialist ideology and how the world situation had gone from bad to worse since then. OPPOSITION SPEAKER Labor-H- e Fuel Minister Hugh Gaitskill. had told an audience at Leeds that the cost of socialism was high in Britain, and would remain high, but declared the cost worthwhile because under the Labor govern-ment acute poverty has really been abolished." That was a debatable point about which the argument continued while Britain voted. PITMEN: An Old Foe An old and hated enemy was again at grips with John L. Lewis and his United Mine workers. After a delay which brought him sharp criticism, President Harry Truman had turned to the device he declares he hates in order to bring order out of the coal strike chaos. THERE WERE MANY who had begun to wonder if Mr. Truman-kno- wn for the stubbornness he em-ploys when balked ever would re-sort to the T-- law to resolve the mine deadlock. Now that he has, it would cause much delight in the ranks of the political opposition. The T-- law, however regarded, has been used several times in na-tional emergencies with an effect that gives it a real cause for be-ing, whether anyone likes it or not. The miners, however, showed defiance. They still chanted the old traditional refrain: "No contract no work." And i' looked like a products. That was the scaffolding for the platform which the committee hoped would satisfy all the Repub-licans. First results indicated it will not. All of which would bring smiles to Democratic hopefuls, in-asmuch as there is little hope for victory at all by Republicans who are divided. It would be tough enough if they were all united. FOREIGN AID: Boftomless Pit? The question of whether the United States ever would be freed of the burden of supplying economic aid to Europe was beginning to oc-cupy the minds of many U.S. citi-zens. With more than eight billion dol-lars already spent on efforts to-ward European recovery that's on the basis of released figures and western European nations now asking for another four or five bil-lion for the next two years, the astronomical figures were becom-ing more astronomical. contract agreement was far off as the President named a three-mem-b-board of inquiry who would at-tempt to restore peace in the troubled situation. TO THE BOARD. President Tru-man named David L. Cole, Patter-son, N. J., attorney who headed a similar board in 1948 that settled a bitter contract row between Lewis and the operators; John Dunlop, Harvard university busi-ness school, and a veteran in labor management relations; and W. Willard Wirtz, Northwestern uni-versity law professor and former chairman of the wage stabilization board. Theirs would be the difficult job, because John L. Lewis was a diffi-cult man to deal with. He might be even more difficult since his three-da- y work week had reduced the nation's coal stockpile to a two-wee- k supply at the time of the The apparent situation indicated that all the ERP supporters had to do in order to get more funds for European aid was to report "amaz-ing progress" by the foreign na-tions on the road to recovery, and immediately temper that with a "but" the "but" being that more and more money would have to be spent "if" recovery were to be permanent. The Marshall plan is supposed to end in 1952, but the follower of U.S. foreign policy as it affects aid to needy nations would lay the "cus-tomary eight-to-five- " that the plan will not end in 1952. By that time, with crisis mount-ing on crisis because of the immi-enc- e of the and word that Russia already has it, it logically may be expected that there will be found multiple reasons for contin-uance of aid to Europe to an extent whereof no man can see the end. EGG PRICES: No Humpty Dumpty The American egg situation had no chance to rival the nursery Humpty Dumpty story, inasmuch as federal price supports were fixed so that no such fall as occurred to the nursery-rhym- e egg could hap-pen to his modern counterpart. THE GOVERNMENT, which al-ready owns some 100 million, dol-lars worth of eggs intended to keep on buying them through March of this year. The idea was to support the price at an average of 25 cents a dozen on the farm. The government's policy was ouaintly stated by one federal of-ficial who summed it up with: ' 4 "The hens are laying their fool head off." The farm price of 25 cents a doren was about 75 per cent of parity, a level calculated to be equally fair to producers and con-sumers. Producers of dried eggs, the statement said, would continue to get about 95 cents a pound. Most of the eggs the government buys are dried. In the past two years it has accumulated about 73 million pounds of these eggs, most at a price of $1.26 a pound. Some are stored in a cool cave near Atchinson, Kansas. The rest are in warehouses in other sections of the country. THE QUESTION of what to do with them has become the major problem. The law permits the de-partment of agriculture to give them away if they are kept out of commercial, competitive channels. This restricts them to welfare pur-poses and similar uses. TAXATION: Get 'Em All The treasury of the United States wants to put the tax bite on a lot of organizations which are not now paying any income tax on the op-eration of unrelated businesses. The treasury made a request to congress that this be done, assert-ing that some labor unions, busi-ness leagues, social clubs and char-itable and educational organiza-tions were getting away with non-payment of tax that the treasury insists should be paid.

RED B: Terrific Echo There was a sudden and dramatic interruption in all the talk about the hydrogen or Just as everyone was pondering the fate of a world on which the monstrous weapon might be loosed, along came a report that the Russians already had it. The reporter was an Englishman, a Mr. de Courcy, who claimed that he had secret sources inside the iron curtain which told him what-ever was going on. THE CLAIM was a bit rugged for the average American to ac-cept, inasmuch as there was still no actual proof the Reds ever had the atomic bomb. Still, it was a nice, frightening topic of talk, and discussion was rather widespread. Naturally, the first impulse was a great rushing to revamp all At-lantic defense plans and, perhaps more naturally, to talk of greater U.S. outlay of arms for herself and the pact nations. Amid all the excitement ran an undercurrent of spy thrills and na-tional menace with the disclosure that a German physicist, who had worked with the British in de-veloping the had given secret information concerning that weapon to the Russians.

The "healer" Is shown here attempting to cure a paralyzed woman who said she "felt much better" after treatment. EUTHANASIA: Cose in Point Advocates of euthanasia "mercy killing" would find support for their views in the action of a Bridgeport, Conn., jury in acquitting blond Carol Ann Paight of the slaying of her cancer-ridde- n father. A jury made up of all parents found the college girl not guilty of slaying her father. Carol Ann had fired a bullet through her father s head after it was learned he had only weeks to live Vance N. Kirby, the treasury's counsel, made it clear, however, that the adminis-tration tax program did not con-template such tax treatment of religious bodies, except as they might be affected in the operation of educational institutions. He said the proposals would ap-ply to labor unions, business leagues and social clubs. He also emphasized that the tax recommendation was concerned only with "business income which is not Incident or related to the exempt purpose." Good Omen? As jitters mounted over reported leaks and treasonable acts con-cerning the secrets of the hydrogen bomb, apprehensive officials and citizens were further disturbed by reports that a former rlerk in the French consulate at Stettin, Poland, had confessed he had led an espion-age network that obtained informa-tion on British military move-ments. He was identified as Andre Simon Robineau. BY INEZ CERHAEl THE SUCCESS of Hal). Friday eveninJ that radio sponsors who j lave been ' heckling n0 man and his wife to do program were right.

And as they plan and dream, there will appear most often in their mind's eye the walleye rated as a springtime favorite where-eve- r he is encountered. The wall-eye is a special favorite with those who appreciate excellent eating along with highly enjoyable sport. While not a spectacular fighter, the walleye is a solid citizen of the deep with a tremendous follow-ing among sporting anglers. Probably because of its numer-ous needle-lik- e teeth, the walleye The walleye Is springtime favorite. is at times erroneously called a pike. This is a definite misnomer, for he belongs to the perch family not the pike. The walleye is heavily fished be-cause of his food value and his willingness to strike. However, he can be just as finicky and ty as his lesser kinsmen, the trout and bass, whenever the mood strikes him. And the angler who is not familiar with his habitat, his feeding habits and his eccen-tricities, may have little luck in pursuit of him. Especially in lakes, walleyes are school fish, and once a school is located, fine sport and finer eating are definitely in pros-pect. The baitcaster should use some of the deeper-runnin- g plugs, with flycasters employing the same sort of equipment and lures they use for bass fishing. At times the wall-eye bites gently at live bait so the hook should not be set too quickly. A june-bu- g spinner, with a gob of trailing nightcrawlers attached to a Stanley weedless hook, will usual-ly turn the trick for the live-ba- it Bngler. AAA Winter Fishing I I'M ' Lift!ii-fi- S This nice string of speckled trout, averaging up to five pounds, which was taken by Ted Garner, Morehead City, N.C., serves to stir anew the impatience of anglers as they await the loosing of winter's grip so they can hit lake, ponds and streams again. MAAUAU Stream Technique When fishing along a bass stream, stay as far as possible from the spot being fished unless there are bushes or vertical banks to conceal your movements. White clothing has no place along a bass stream so there's no point in mini-mizing your chances for a full cral by wearing it. Dress in darker colors and, when possible, fish from the shade or from a spot where your shadow will not fall upon the water. In fast currents, most fish will head upstream, so if you approach a pool against the current you are less likely to be detected by the fish. Each pool should be approached with caution and a few minutes of watching the pool before you begin fishing will often pay AAA Minnow Tips Here are some tips on trans-porting minnows: If possible, mm-low-should be kept in the water rom which they were taken. Not nore than 50 minnows should be aken in an ordinary minnow buck t. Water temperature should be ;ept as nearly constant as possible few ice cubes on a hot day may ave you a lot of dead minnows. When minnows come to the tor hree or four aspirin or a few drops if iodine will help.

For Mickey, the embattled welter-weight who fought such heavy- - m ,m jwif 'V weights as Jack Sharkey and Max Schmeling, has been an artist for some time. .M'ckey even paints "moods" and "illu-sions" as well as landscapes and sea-scapes. But a big I heard someone call my name. It was Greb. So I went over and sat with his gang. Later on they all left us, leaving only Harry and myself. By that time my right eye was closed ight and badly swollen. We became great friends and the ale we drank didn't hurt us any. "Finally about 3 a. m. we de-cided to look up another tavern. As we got to the door I said to Greb 'Say, if you hadn't closed my right eye, I could have licked you.' "Greb turned on me with a snarl. I thought he was going to bite me. 'Say,' he said, 'you couldn't lick me If I cut off both arms.' "Now," Mickey said, "we had just fought before a packed house at Madison Square Garden at plenty dollars a seat. We had just been paid very big money. And here we were heading for another fight with just three spectators who were pay-ing nothing. " 'Come on,' Greb said, 'let's fight it out here.' He started taking off his coat. As he got the coat about halfway off, which locked up or tied up both arms, I nailed him on the chin with everything I had It was a nectarine, full of juice Greb spun and crashed into the side of a car so hard he dented the running board. I never threw a harder punch and he was wide open. "I guess I was lucky. You couldn't kill Greb with an axe. He bounded back from the car and started for me, when a pair of cops arrived.

It has been just 11 years since Mickey absorbed anything resemb-ling alcohol, which is a good, solid 'eat on the good old cart. "My biggest thrill." he said, "well, I guess It was an evening I spent with a fellow by the name of Harry Greb. It was a long evening, starting in the ring around 10 o'clock and winding up around daybreak. "I'd heard Greb hadn't been training right. In fact he staged a visit to a restaurant I was in, stag-gering a little. It was an act. I was dead sure I could beat him. He was just as sure he could beat me. I knew after the first minute of the first round that I was in for a stormy night. Greb was in perfect condition. His act had been phony. I was never in better shape. "He almost knocked me out In the second round. I almost stopped him in the third. But he was a dead game guy and he could take it. Ask f ' m Neither one of us wasted two seconds. We threw all the punches we carried and I know Greb carried a lot. He was fast and strong and rough. He was only a dangerous puncher when he got tired and quit moving around. Then he could hurt you. ' f was in at 148 and Greb was around 160. He bad too much for me. I knew by the 12th round that I had little chance to win. But we kept on punching to the final bell. "It was a great fight," Mickey said. "But I liked our next fight better, that same night. I lost the first one and I think I won the sec-ond. I'll tell you about that one." The Second Fight "After the fight Doc Keams and t dropped into Duffey's Old Tavern. liked anyone better. The next day Tex Rickard sent for us. He offered us $100,000 each for a return match Now $100,000 isn't goulash. But Greb turned to me and said 'Mick-ey, there are too many guys around I can beat easier than I can beat you. I like the easy dough. I can make just as much fighting them.' ' I'll tell you about Greb. He was a great guy. He was a great fighter and one of the gamest men I ever met. And don't believe all those stories about his being out of con-dition. He fought himself into shape. No man could travel 15 rounds at top speed and be out of shape. "He had superb skill and the heart of two lions. I've seen Greb go faster and harder in the 15th round than he did in the first. He liked to upset Broadway gamblers by fak-ing a drunk now and then.
