The senate, by a vote of 63 to 7, voted a 5.75 billion dollar appropriation to take care of European recovery needs and pay U. S. occupation costs abroad. Final action came after two weeks of debate. THE SENATE voted a full program, with no authority of the spending agency to expend the money in a shorter period. At the same time, it approved an out-lay of $344,000 for a congressional watchdog committee to keep a check on foreign spending. The upper chamber of congress gave tacit approval to nationaliza-tion of industries in England, that is by knocking down an amend-ment which would have withheld recovery funds from any nation which in the future nationalized an Industry. This was aimed directly at Great Britain. The bill provided: One hundred and fifty million dollars for ECA loans to Europe. A billion, 740 million dollars for ECA's May-Jun- e operations. NINE HUNDRED MILLION for army occupation costs in Ger-many, Austria, Japan and the Ryukyu islands. Forty-fiv- e billion for Greece and Turkey. In its struggle with the bill, the senate beat off efforts to earmark 500 million dollars for a loan to Spain and to require the ECA and the army to earmark two billion dollars for surplus U. S. farm prod-ucts. CHINA: Lost Cause Accusations, name-callin- re-criminations did nothing to distort the picture if the United States was winning the cold war in the West, she was losing it in the East. The United State's "white pap-er" on what had happened in China and why charged vigorously that Communist victory over the Chin-ese and the disintegration cf the Nationalist government were ail the fault of Nationalist Generalissi-mo Chiang Kai-She- SAID DEAN ACHESON, U. S. secretary of state: "Full blame for the ominous result of the Chinese civil war accrues to Chiang Kai-she- k and other Nationalist leaders because they lost no battlo as the result of a lack of American aid." In obvious contrast to the firm policy in dealing with Russia on problems affecting the West, Ache-so- n said of China's future and U. S. aims In that direction: "Future U. S. policy must concentrate on relieving China of the Moscow-in-spTe-foreign yoke of Commu-nism." That appeared easier said than dune, however. There was no pact and no arms program to warn off the Reds, and, anyway, the C were on the ground and control. Even the optimistic among the diplomats in V,ishi-- ' ton would realize that throwing the Communists out of China would be a long, hard fight. A FORMER AM B ASS DOR to China, Major Pat Hurley was quick to charge that the state de partmonfs "white paper" was nothin? tut alibi for U. S. failure to stem tr. C.rr.rnunist tide in China. " Radio Jam According to reliable reports, Moscow's jamming of radio pro-grams has tuned down the "Voice of America" to a mere whisper of its former self. THESE REPORTS declare that Russian interference with pro-grams beamed to the Soviet has been so effective as to cut to 10 per cent the American broadcasts which now permeate the region around Moscow. Two official American protests against these jamming tactics were made last year, but in each case Moscow disclaimed any know-ledge of such interference. The Kremlin aim is obvious. Rus-sian leaders are making every ef-fort to isolate the Soviet people more completely from the west. Reception of American-originate- d broadcasts would have no place in that objective. IAS. INCOMES: Higher Than Ever The status of consumer buying power in the nation was good. In fact, personal incomes, which are the mainspring of such buying, in-creased in June, according to re-ports of the federal department of comniLito. THE RISE helped push Incomes for the first six months of 1949 to a level 2 6 per cent higher than the first half of boom-tim- e 1948. The report estimated tht the flow of personal income from all sources reached an annual rate of 213.5 billion dollars in June. The commerce department's itudy showed the upturn had been con-tinuing for three months, April through June, and that the gain ac-celerated as It continued. An increase in farm Income was cited by the department as the main cause of the June increase in personal income. THE DEPARTMENT regardr-- as more magnificent, however, the fact that factory payrolls were credited with a slight increase in June after having declined steadily since last September. COMIC BOOKS: New Approach The impact of "comic books" on juvenile minds and their influence for good or evil has re-cently been a subject of wide-spread controversy in these United States. Some municipalities banned sale of the more objectionable books, others contented themselves with talking; but San Diego, it ap-pears, has come up with a most sensible approach. That southern California city has started what it calls a "comic book cf the month club." It's purpose is to "put the fun back into funny from whence it has been conspicuously absent all these years.

I. PHILLIPS USEFUL AUTOS THE latest trend In auto design toward a pleasure car that ran he transformed, presto, Into something else. By little more than button pressing one model Is con-verted into a truck or station wagon. Similarly, another model has a trunk compartment that can be made into something of a bou doir. We look for extensions of the trend, bringing perhaps, the combination sedan, deep-freez- e unit and rumpus room. Elmer Twitchell, the emi-nent engineer, is at work on a design for flivving that will give the summer auto tourist a car to be known as the ca-bana special. You can drive it onto the beach anywhere, throw a switch and change it into a beach cabana with cock-tail bar. Mr. Twitchell has other utilitar ian models In mind for Detroit in eluding the following: 1. Fisherman's special. Here th( back-sea- t area can be convertec into a huge aquarium for live bait with a fish well for the day's catch The car itself is aquatic and by t few wrist motions can be con verted into a motor or sailboat As an extra there is a sun lamp under which the fisherman can loll and lie to one another in comfort. 2. The Here, by a remarkable use of engineering skills, an extension can be whisked from the back end of the car which becomes, as if by sheer magic, a putio with flowered walls and bird-bat- A palm tree can be had in the deluxe model. Through this model the problem of having an auto, a beach home and a small yard is solved. 3. The Kitrhrny-Eigh- t. Lives there an autoi.st who has never longed to whip up a meal en route? In this model Mr. Twitchell gives the world a roomy limousine in which the touch of a button transforms the rear ef the car into a com-plc- te kitchenette with icebox, stove, pantry shelves, cabinets, etc. A compartment for live birds is included In case the owner wants a fresh chicken dinner. 4. The What-Fu- By a few manipulations, taking less than 10 seconds, this model, seem-ingly an ordinary touring car, is converted into a police car with all the traditional symbols and sirens. The mechancial devices which accomplish this change also slap a police hat onto the driver. There is no model as satifactory as this to operators in a hurry. The Accordion-Kar- . Here Mr. Twitchell has something which will be the answer to every autoist's prayer. It Is model which folds up when the driver wishes to park It. All hands alight, a button is touched and the car contracts in the man-ner of an accordion until it takes up little more room than . an umbrella. The car can then be left In hotel lobbies, home hallways, or even phone booths. i (Note Order this last one early. It is going to be hard to get.) Race-Cha- rt Stuff: Right Jab . . . Often gets left.

GRACE NOLL CROWELL ft V Kt Al I The Fiction TRAPPER JOE HWfaon Corner ently Trapper Joe slept. Time passed. The storm diminished in volume, died. The figure near the fire stirred, sat up, listened to Trapper Joe's deep breathing and reached for a stick of firewood. Trapper Joe returned to con-sciousness to find himself bound In his bunk. He struggled at his bonds. After an intermittently long time he freed himself, chafed his wrists, flexed his muscles. Then he built up the fire. There was a note above the mantel. "Sorry, old timer, I've been dreaming of a strike like this for years. I'm young and can en-joy the money. There's not enough for two. I've tied you lightly and left enough supplies to see you through the winter. Thanks for the lift." Trapper Joe folded the note and put it in his shirt pocket. "Time to celebrate," he said aloud. " 'Sides, I'll be wantin' to travel light bo's I can reach the Indian village in three days' time." Before sitting down to his feast he lifted a loose board behind the chimney and hoisted up a gallon can. He opened the can and his eyes lighted at sight of the yellow gleaming particles of dust there. He chuckled and replaced the can. "Well," he soliloquized, "the kid had a chance to play fair, and didn't take it. If he'd been willin' to split I'd have come half way. It'll take him a week to reach the post. By that time I'll be safe and sound. BLIZZARD, first of the sea-son, THE was roaring fitfully when Trapper Joe climbed over the river bank and approached his cabin. Midway across the intervening clearing he stumbled over some-thing and almost fell. The some-thing, he discovered, was a man, almost buried by I snow, uncon- - 3-Minu-te FCtl0n scious. Trapper Joe , rolled the stiff J form over and saw a huge pack strapped to the man's back. He grunted, picked up pack and man, and carried both into his cabin. Trapper Joe examined the pack and found that it con-tained five pouches, each filled to capacity with gold dust. There must, he reflected, be thousands of dollars worth. the blanket-swathe- d PRESENTLY Trapper Joe stared down at it solemnly. The unconscious man's eyelids flut-tered, then opened. "Take it easy, pardner," said Trapper Joe. "You're coming around." The man stared at Trapper Joe, then sat bolt upright. "Where am I?" he demanded. your cabin, but " "What happened? I remember set-ting out for the Post. It began to snow. I kept falling. Then I saw "But you didn't have the strength to make it. I found you almost dead. I lugged you back here and nursed life back into your body. You're safe, and so's your gold." "Sure. Some of it spilled out. You must have made a rich strike." "I did. A pocket. I stayed too late in order to Ket it all out. My name's Tim McLeary." He eyed Trapper Joe curiously. "Kitida queer having this happen; waking up and finding myself alive and up and finding myself alive and" Trapper Joe nodded. "You're wondering why I didn't leave you there to die and appropriate the dust, eh? Well, I considered it Then thought of what a chance I'd be taking. I thinks: When he wakes up he'll see I saved his life wakes up he'll see I saved his life. McLeary brushed a hand across his face. His lips tightened. "I get it. Yon were scared to snitch the stuff. You figured I'd give you half of it on account of you saved my life. "You're a cool one all right." Mcl.eary twisted his thin lips Into a grin. "Mebbe it was good figurin' at that. Mind if I take a sleep? I feel sorta weak." "Drink some more soup first. Warm you up inside." UTSIDE the storm beat and tore at the tiny cabin. Pres- - BY INEZ GERHARD LARRY PARKS, who just finished Sings Again" at Colum-bia, shares a fondness for old Bongs with his wife, Betty Garrett. They have one of the largest col-lections of player piano rolls in America, also a d pi-anola. So a party at the Parks' means that everybody makes a beeline for the rumpus room; with LARRY PARKS cider and pretzels for refreshment, and Larry pumping the pedals, they lift their voices in old favo-rites like "Sheik of Araby," "Whis-pering" and "Moonlight Bay." In-cidentally, "Jolson Sings Again" is reposed to be even better than the film that made Parks famous. Radio's Galen Drake has finally given in to the demands of his listening audience; for the first time in his career, he has given a magazine permission to use his picture, (full color, at that!) with an exclusive story. His multitude of fans will be happy to learn that "This Is Galen Drake" will ap-pear in the September issue of Radio Mirror Magazine. For the first time in his life Danny Kaye is thinking of taking a nice, long rest. In "The Inspec-tor General," at Warners", he wrestled with professionals, had several sword fights and performed assorted acrobatics. Columnists are always reporting that Howard ("Sam Spade") Duff is engaged to somebody. The weirdest "engagement" was to a stage actress, Eloise Jansen Duff didn't know her, finally found the columnist had invented her. Betty Hutton was just recover-ing from one injury she broke a finger while rehersing a dance routine with Fred Astaire for "Let's Dance" when she broke a toe while playing on the beach at Mall-b- u with her daughters.
