There was a quick denial. In New York, Dr. Jan Papanek, resigned Czech U. N. delegate, said the Lidice memorial committee collected "$5,000 at the maximum from Americans and never got a chance to apply any money to Lidice.

FARM PLAN: Baldness More Curbs Asked Critics and supporters alike of Bran-nan- s Agriculture Secretary Charles 1949 farm support program were surprised when Brannan asked sweeping new powers to control the nations agricultural production. THE latest Brannan proposals were contained in the full draft of the administrations farm program which was laid before congress. In that program, the powers requested would mark the first time in the history of the nation not excepting wartime when farmers and their activities would be so completely under federal control. For example, Brannan asked that rigid marketing quotas, now usable on only six major crops, be applied on the great bulk of farm products, including meat animals, milk, poultry, eggs, fruits and vegetables. It was a bold stroke on the part of the administration and one that was gambling with farmer good will over the nation. For it was quickly discernible that, if enacted, this program would put the American farmer under federal control from the moment he orose to feed the chickens and other stock in the morning, until he tended his vegetables and worked his crops, milked the cows and fed the stock again in the evening. The big question Was: Would the farmers stand for that, even if congress did enact the law? Farm'-er-s would be given a choice because under the Brannan proposal, they would have to vote adoption of the vote of all program by a producers. Brannan envisions a condition where prices would be allowed to move freely in the market with farmers getting a payment covering the difference if and when market prices fell below a predetermined fair return. two-thir- LABOR LAW: Gets Priority With domestic issues having been given the green light over foreign affairs, the U.S. senate was committed to wrestle out a new labor belaw or repeal fore adjournment. The importance of the labor question to the administration was indicated in the senate's shelving discussion of the North Atlantic security pact until the troublesome labor issue has been disposed of. THE reason was rather obvious. Organized labor, worried by an apparent disinclination of congress to go along with the President in reand fearing pealing further delay, was pushing the administration to get going. There was constant reminder behind the scenes of the Presidents campaign pledges to scrap the present overall labor law and labor wanted action. The 1950 congressional races werent too far off and the administration evidently felt it had better deliver or fare labors antagonism at the polls next year. MAJORITY LEADER Scott Lucas declared that if all major legislation were not disposed of by July 31, we shall extend the length ol the session until we have dealt with the most urgent proposals.

FOR, from Een, Holland, there came a claim that Meinheer J. Van Rooyen, a bewildered little barber, could cure baldness no fooling. The news leaked out, and the little barber shop was thronged with visitors. Letters poured in by the thousands.

ACCORDING to reports, he finally hit upon a combination that made his hair grow. Tried on others, it succeeded. Now he is treating 160 people, working 13 hours a day. d TWITCHELL VS. DOUGLAS U. S.

Law of Attacking state regulation mine safety codes, John L. Lewis, leader of the United Mine Workers, demanded a federal safety law to prevent coal miners from being maimed, mangled and killed. CHARGING nations that the coal is stained with blood, Lewis produced figures to show 1.25 million miners have been injured or killed in the past 19 years. Lewis charges were hurled before a senate labor subcommittee in support of a bill which would give federal mine inspectors right to close mines they think dangerous. Under present conditions, while the federal bureau of mines makes safety inspections and recommends safety measures, all control is exercised by the states and there is no way to implement federal suggestions and recommendations. Lewis contended that states are falling down badly. LEWIS testimony chiefly carried the tneme that the states have failed to enforce safety regulations and that the mine operators are not going to pay any heed to safety unless forced to do so. Could Be Cut A contention that the government cut its civilian employe rolls by 10 per cent and accomplish exactly the same purposes was made in Washington by former President Herbert Hoover. Declaring that this could be done if the government were organized properly, Mr. Hoover said the savings to the taxpayers might reach four or five billion dollars a year. MR. HOOVER'S statement must have carried some weight, but there were only an optimistic few who believed anything might be done along the lines he pointed out. The former President was speaking with authority because a commission of which he had been g named the head a body to uncover just such things as he had uncovered had exhaustively studied government functions and processes and had reported its findings.

PHILLIPS MINE SAFETY: Lewis Shanghai Populace Swings to Communists , By Summer vacations were coming up and there would be hordes of youngsters seeking work during the long holiday. But if the wage and hour and public contracts division of the U. S. department of labor had its way, all child labor would be done strictly according to law. FROM Cleveland, the director, William S. Singley, issued a reminder to all employers of school boys and girls under 18 that age and employment clrtificates for such workers must be on file. He pointed out that these certificates are considered as proof of age and serve to protect employers from unwitting violations of federal laws regulating the employment of children. Under the fair labor standards act, the minimum age for most jobs is 16, but in occupations declared to be especially hazardous for young workers, the minimum age is 18. , . It was mostly beer and skittles for the Communists in Shanghai. The city and its millions had swing into the Communist camp, not by degrees, but with what appeared to be an enthusiastic rush.

After a moment or two, much to my satisfaction, he turned in at the drive and came slowly toward me. At this precise moment the stepladder on which I was standing tilted precariously and the window I was removing threatened to tumble to the ground. I uttered cry of alarm, turned, perceived the prince as if for the first time, and shouted to him for aid. Involuntarily, be leaped forward and steadied the ladder until I had descended. Phew! I grinned. "That was a close call.' It was Indeed," he replied. Would you mind holding the ladder for me on this window over here?" He seemed a little surprised. but agreed to lend his assistance.
