Western Newspaper Unions news analysts and not neeessarily Owner Has to k Have Collars Made From His Shirt Tails. LONDON. Money always came easily to Sydney E. Parkes, so easily that at 65 he is fed up with being a Midas. At least he said as much when London reporters found him at home recently. Whats the use of a big fortune Parkes income is something like when I 430.000 pounds a year have to get my collars made of material cut from my shirt tails? he demanded gloomily, adding with a soupcon of bitterness: Well, perhaps you can understand how it feels to be rich. The reporters could not, but they nodded agreement with the notion ' that making one pound every minute was one of those things in life that couldnt be helped and had to be put up with as stoically as might be. .Id give every penny I have to be 30 again, Parkes sighed as he sank back in his armchair and clouded the circumambient air with smoke from one of his 100 pipes. Owns Three Dog Tracks. Parkes was ensconced beside the fire in his Georgian home, Devonshire house, Wandsworth, which he had bought a few weeks previously with its estate, said to be the largest private property in the London county council area. He owns three greyhound racing stadiums and was being interviewed about a dispute between book- stamakers and Wandsworth dium over betting, pitches, which had just been decided in the high court. It was during this talk he revealed that his personal income last year was 430,000 pounds. It mostly went in income tax, he said. I got 4,800 pounds on the first 20,000 pounds, and after that only 6 pence in the pound 10,000 pounds at the most. The rest I didnt even see. While Parkes pondered the eternal verities that there is no way back across the gulf of time, no staying the flight, all too swift, of the winged years, his visitors departed and headed in the general direction of Fleet street. Being reporters, therefore skeptics by nature and cynics through daily experiences with all and sundry, they harbored the suspicion that their host derived at least a modicum of consolation from the knowlever-wideni- edge that the hard realities of the present were cushioned for him in a measure by his dog tracks. Soft, Eh What? Totalisator receipts at Wandsworth stadium alone last year were 3,250,000 pounds, of which Wandsworth stadium limited received 6 per cent. In 1942, the company netted 70,000 pounds; 1943, 74,-0- pounds ; 1944, 89,000 197.000 pounds. 00 pounds ; 1945, Pretty soft, what! soliloquized Archibald. echoed Pretty soft, Percy. At Parkes was a successful real estate operator. Before he built the Wandsworth stadium 13 years 27 ago he had sold on one development in seven months houses to the value of 750,000 pounds. He put up the stadium, he explained, to give employment to 400 excellent workmen who had served him well. His intention was to sell it and get out. But he went on a summer cruise and on his return found that the venture was doing so well he decided to stay in the greyhound racing business for good. Russ Beggar Worth Fortune Had Saved 260,000 Rubles MOSCOW. A Moscow street beggar a former monk was discovered to have amassed a personal fortune of 260,000 rubles. (The official ruble rate is 5.3 to the dollar, the diplomatic rate is 12 to the dollar.) Press reports said Vasily h Vasiliev, formerly a monk from a monastery on Lake Ladoga, had aroused suspicion by begging in the capitals Yelokhov Square. Upon investigation, the reports continued, it was discovered that from 1930 until 1940 Vasiliev was a collective farmer and had a' home garden in a village near Vologda but was not satisfied with this, and came to Moscow to beg in 1940. The paper said he had saved the 260,000 rubles in the six years since and that the whole sum had been discovered.

Brewster (Rep., Me.) said that Bev-i- n was trying to make Mr. Truman the sacrificial goat for Britains failure to work out an equitably agreement between Jews and Arabs, and Taft (Rep., O.) pointed out that Bevin had conveniently dropped his proposal for partition of the Holy Land in the face of stiff Arab oppooil-lad- en demanding that the trusteeship question be postponed until formulation of a Japanese peace treaty.

As natives fled in panic, govern-men- t authorities rushed motor vehicles to the area to evacuate the homeless. Directors of the Etna observatory asked Rome to consider the advisability of air bombardment of the countryside to divert the flow of lava from villages and rich agricultural areas. LABOR: Pin Down Green 7 ' Pinned down by the close questioning of Representative Hoffman (Rep., Mich.) Pres. William Green of the AFL told a congressional committee that the union would back the amendment of labor laws to permit free speech to employees by employers and require unions to register with the government and file financial statements. At the same time the gaudily dressed AFL chieftain rapped proposals for a closed shop, declaring that workers benefiting from union gains should pay organization dues. He opposed passage ot laws on the grounds that it was unfair to punish the entire labor movement for the excesses oij certain members. Questioning Green on union pressure against unorganized workers, Hoffman asked: Farmers are unorganized when they bring ham and eggs to town, why dont you refuse to eat them? Green blandly replied: "We are reasonable men. ng TO HELP EASE COUGHING, TIGHT CHEST RUB ON MUSCLES MEIITHOLATUMf' slWT f Women In youi 40s"!
