It all began when my Aunt Frieda got the social bee in her babushka, I'm not doubting," said my aunt. "From the medicine chest is miss-ing a full box bicarbonate." ON THE WAY BACK to their flat, Frieda got right down to cases. "What is between you and Mrs. Greenhouse?" she asked. "Strictly a cash arrangement," said Charlie. "Seven suppers for 10 dollars." "You can't pull the wool behind my back," said my aunt. "Just to eat, a man does not take a bath and wear a whole flowershop in the but-tonhole." "I am also enjoying her com-pany," my uncle admitted. "On many things me are seeing eye to tooth." "If for widows you got such a likinz." said Frieda, "I could may- - is away the cat, is playing the mice and they ain't playmg ." "You are implicating my Charlie is a rat?" "Rat, schmat! Ask the widow Greenhouse." A bit shaken, Frieda posted her-self inside the candy store across the street, and when Charlie, wear-ing a carnation, came out she fol-lowed him-a- nd sure enough, he d down the block to the joined the Delancey street chapter of the Daughters of Deborah, and went off to Atlantic City for its annual con-vention. Knowing Charlie for what he was a man with his feet in the clouds and his head on the ground Frieda began to Billy Rose worry that he'd get ptomaine from eating a tainted blintz in a restaurant, and so one afternoon she boarded a bus and made a quick trip to New York to see if everything was all right. "YOU MISS ME, Charlie?" "Why should I miss you you're here. What gives in Atlantic City?" "In Atlantic City is giving speeches," said my aunt. "Tomor-row we are deciding about the hy-drogen bomb, yes or no." "In such a case, you better go right back," said my uncle. "Bye-by-and don't take no wooden knishes." On the street, Frieda met a gos-sipy neighbor who said, "When home of Mrs. Greenhouse. Now, if this were a movie, our heroine would hold her tongue for six reels of misunderstanding and suspense-b- ut Frieda was never one for slow emotion.

"Pull up a chair," "I got a pot roast you could cut it with a fingernail." Frieda sniffed. "To me, it smells like a boiled beef what boiled too long." "Is that so?" said Mrs. Green-house. "All week your husband is enjoying." be become one myself." When they reached home, Frieda pulled the pin out of her hat. "To-morrow," she announced, "is roast duck on the menu. Monday it gives sauerbraten; Tuesday, chicken with mandlen soup." "The widow makes a grade-- goulash," needled by uncle. "Let her make," said my aunt, "and let her eat." And that ended Charlie's life on the loose and Frieda's career as a clubwoman. As for the question: "Is love or lunch more important to the male animal?" well, the leopard is dead and my uncle isn't talking. " NEW OUTFIT . . . Bom.

The court held" that segregation of Negroes in railroad dining cars violates the Interstate Commerce Act, that Negro students must be admitted to the University of Texas law school because the state does not afford them facili-ties equal to those for whites, and that Oklahoma had been discrimi-nating against Negro students at its state university law school by segregating them in classrooms and elsewhere on the campus. The court, however, did not go into the cases as deeply as the justice department desired. For instance, the justice depart-ment argued there can be no such thing as "separate but equal" fa-cilities and treatment. It contend-ed the mere fact a Negro has to use a separate public facility pre-vents him from having an equal facility. It is just as sensible, the department argued, to say that a thing can be "black but white" as to insist it can be "separate and equal." Observers point out that had the court gone into the matter as deeply as the department asked and ruled in its favor, there would have been practically nothing left of segregation laws. Some students of government be-lieve such a ruling would have been a great deal more than the passage by Congress of the much debated F. E. P. C. The court, however, adhered to its long established practice of not determining constitutional issues if other grounds for decisions exist. ;' JAPAN: j: Outlaws Reds The Japanese Communist party received a serious setback with that government's announcement that the party would be outlawed in Japan. ' Observers did not find the move surprising since such action had been hinted and only waited the out- - come of the general election which was carried by Japan's Liberal party. The liberals alone stuck to a d States policy in a highly nationalistic campaign. Prime Minister Shigeru Yoshida I had announced the action would be taken if there were further acts of violence by Communists. He re- - ferred to the attack on five U. S. t soldiers at a Communist rally on Memorial Day. As expected, the Communists tried to blame the action on the i American occupation, but Yoshida quickly denied it. J Meanwhile, the Liberal party ' j seemed assured of victory in the election. Despite rains throughout the country, the voting was heavier than expected. Offici Is said 31,400,- - 000 voted, or 70 percent of those 'j eligible. About 60 per cent had been pxnected. Japanese Comunists staged a rally in the shadow of the im-perial palace and for the sec-ond time violence broke out be-tween the Reds and C. S. soldiers. V. S. MP's (above) are shown breaking up the riot and taking: a Jap Communist into custody. CONSTRUCTION: At New High Construction in the United States has reached a new high, according to reports by the department of labor. ' to department Yoshida's strong showing had ' been expected after his government firmly squelched projected Commu- - ,1' nist rallies an a so-- called general strike called for elec- - tion day. j COAL-STEE- L PLAN: Unites Six Nations f Britain's labor government has ; been caught short with the an-- ) nouncement that six European coun- - tries have formed a coal-ste- al liance. The United States gave the six countries France, Holland, Bel- - 'i1 gium, Luxembourg, Western Ger- - many, and Italy its blessing, with, ; observers pointed out, an eye on if the heavy gamble for postwar eco- - j nomic reconstruction of Europe as ! a means of further winning the cold war. j Under the plan, proposed by Rob- - ert Schuman, French foreign min- - j ister, the six nations have united to-produce the sinews of heavy indus-- ) try in peace. Observers said it was fairly clear that Britain, struggling to win back a high place in world trade, was caught by surprise at the move. The Schuman plan represents a historic surrender of national sov- - ereignty of all the six countries in their economy. The pooled coal and steel industries will be directed by an independent international high authority. Neutral observers were especial-ly happy over the alliance. It is the first time in history that countries whose differences have caused numerous wars have gotten togeth-er to create a community of in- - terests. This, observers contend, should eliminate the cause of wars. Increased production is also ex- - pected from the merger. The total joint production could be far great-er than the sum of their separate competitive efforts. It was pointed According statis-tics, construction valued at nearly $2,000,000,000 was put in place in May. This was ahead of the 1948 and 1949 seasonal peaks. Home construction accounted for much of the advance, although building costs have risen sharply. Private construction in May amounted to $1,400,000,000, an in-crease of 12 per cent over April and 27 per cent over May of last year. The home building part of that was estimated at $825,000,000, an in-crease of 15 per cent over the month and 56 percent from a year ago. In the first five months of 1950, the total value of all types of new construction was nearly $8,100,000,-000- , an increase of 21 percent from the corresponding period of 1949, the labor department announced. HARRY GOLD: Patriotic Spy Like the little boy who pinched off the icing on his mother's cake, Harry Gold, the American who turned against his own country to spy for Russia, wanted the sweet but didn't mean to spoil the cake. Explained the Philadelphia bio-chemist, no doubt for a gullible American public, he delivered atom bomb secrets to Russia, but "I had no intention of hurting my coun-try." Such an explanation would not appease the intelligence of the who pinched the icing. How can anyone give away the secrets of his country and not expect to hurt it, observers asked? The Judy Coplon case and now the Gold affair have shocked the Amer-ican public. Many Americans are remembering stern measures em-ployed by founders of the nation in handling spies. The business of espionage, under any circumstances, is a nasty thing. IOWA ELECTION: Brannan Plan Test The nation watched with interest the final outcome of the primary election in Iowa. And the out-come was what seasoned policital obervers expected a final cam-paign between Albert J. Loveland and Sen. Burke B. Hickenlooper. There was more to it, however, than just the outcome of a primary election to determine the Demo-cratic and Republican senatorial candidates this fall. Loveland, former undersecre-tary of agriculture, campaigned against five other Democrats us-ing the Brannan farm plan as his main weapon. On the other hand, Senator Hick-enlooper is a strong opponent of the plan. He won the Republican nomination easily over two oppon-ents. Thus, the fall campaign takes shape. Political observers see Loveland campaigning with the Brannan plan as the main plank in his platform, while on the other hand, Hickenlooper will take his stand against it. Political ob-servers are looking forward to this final test on the much de-bated plan in the heart of Ameri-ca's farm belt. Political observers also pointed out that it is almost a sure bet now that President Truman and Secre-tary of Agriculture Brannan will campaign in Iowa for Loveland. ECONOMY: Budget Cut Hinted Observers are predicting another battle in congress in an attempt to cut President Truman's budget for the coming years. According to some reports. Re-publicans are backing a move for a new cut ot the budget wnicn tne house last month trimmed $2,068,-590,50- Some senators would like a flat cut across the boards. But others want to exempt the military estab-lishment, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and defense spending. A means of making the cuts on the Senate floor is being sought if the trimming is not done first by the Senate appropriations committee. Gold Attorney One is not inclined to be angry with a spy such as the Russian agent Gubitchev who was acting under orders. But to turn against your na-tive land and give or sell its se-crets is an entirely different matter. Now an admitted spy asks the court to appoint him counsel, which he insists be counsel whose pa-triotism is unimpeachable, with the respect of the court, the public, and the bar. Further, he insists upon the right to cooperate with the F.B.I. SEARS, ROEBUCK: Sharp Price Cuts Sears, Roebuck and company, the world's largest retaU merchandise business, has announced price re-duction of up to 52 percent of 4,000 items in its midsummer sale cata-logue. The merchandising world was startled with the announcement of price cuts that averaged 7 per cent on the items. Seasonal wearing ap-parel was cut as much as 41 per cent. More than twice as big as its near-est competitor, Sears, Roebuck and company was founded in 1886 and drew its greatest support from the farm population. Although today Sears sells in the big cities, it still keeps its rural touch with all sorts of farm pro-jects. out, for example, the industrial Ruhr needs French coal and France needs the Ruhr steel but each put a premium on the materials they exchanged with each other. Although the British have not joined the alliance or made any commitment on the plan, the way has been left open. Observers said it would certainly give the labor government something to think about. BALTIC PLANE: Evidence Damning The United States produced new evidence that the navy patrol plane recently lost in the Baltic was shot down, although the Russians re-ported they only drove it out to sea. State department officials said a recovered landing wheel indicated the plane had exploded in mid-ai-and had possibly lost a wing before it spun into the sea. The wheel floated because its tire was inflated with air. It was found by a Swedish fishing captain 48 miles off the Coast of Latvia. A navy expert, Lt. Comdr. M. W. Cagle, exhibited the plane's front landing wheel, and pointed to a lev-er in a position showing that the wheel was retracted when the plane crashed. John D. M. Hamilton, (right) former chairman of the Repub-lican national committee, is shown with Federal Judge James P. MoGranery, (left) af-ter the latter appointed Hamil-ton counsel for Harry Gold, atomic espionage agent. BELGIUM: Wants a King While the rest of the world has worried about rebuilding and se-curing a permanent peace since World War II, Belgium has been the scene of one election after another on the question of bringing King Leopold III back from exile. The latest of the four elections gives the Social Christian party another victory and would seem to guarantee the return of Leopold to the throne. MAUNALOA: Brilliant Fireworks Mauna Loa, the 13,680-foo- t vol-cano on the island of Hawaii, turned on a brilliant display of fireworks for island tourists with the greatest eruption in history, Fortunately, no lives were lost m the eruption that sent streams ; of molten lava across the island and into the sea. At some points where the lava entered the ocean, ; the water was reported near boil- - ; ing far from shore. v .j Employment Employment in the United States reached its highest peak in May since last August, the census bu-reau announced in an optimistic report. The number of jobless dropped from 3,515,000 in April to the May figure of 3,057,000. Employment jumped from 58,668,000 in April to 59,731.000 in May, a gain of 1,063, 000. In May, 1949, there were employed. I This Is Your Pap Advertising k 1 Integral Pari By William R.

Tracy and I were dumb; we're ready to admit that, but, after all, we're city cops not primi-tive wilderness ' I natives. Minilte The reason we 3 Fiction were ca"ed in w a s because L Homer Liver- - more's wife had lost $50,000 worth of gems, and neither she nor Homer trusted or had faith in Eben Jackson, the local constable. Jackson met us at the station, and it wouldn't take a sleuth to see he was sore at the Livermores. "I'll show you what I al-ready found out," he told us briefly, "then let you smarties dope out the rest." He took us up to the lodge and showed where a ladder had been placed against the house. Then he allowed the thief had probably taken his loot and skun off in the woods to hide. Then Tracy had an idea. "If we gotta browse around through the bushes we ought to have a native guide." Eben recommended Bronco Pete, who, it seemed, was a guide who didn't have enough money to buy a license for himself, hence was out of work. We explained our pre-dicament to him and he shrugged indifferently. Then Tracy flashed a $20 bill and he changed his mind'. He took the twenty, and a prom-ise of two more after a week's when he comes home." IT WASN'T a pleasant prospect, it seemed like the only bet. So Tracy and I bought ourselves some supplies, and moved into the shack. The third day, Eben dropped around to see how we were doing. We told him in no uncertain terms, and if he wanted to spell us for a day we'd split the reward. "Mean it?" he said. "Sure we mean it. You lay your hands on the thief, you get $2500 cash." "Come with me," he said. He took us directly to the Jail and pointed through the bars at a prisoner. Bronco Pete. Well, sir, this was it: Bronco had committed the theft all right, but it didn't do him much stood, because he coudn't dispose of the jewels. Nor could he spend the $50 in cash he'd swiped along the rocks, because he hadn't worked for months, and to do so would have aroused suspicion. Then we came along and advanced him $20 and he bought himself a new outfit with it, including a new pair of boots with cleat marks on the heels. Eben was suspicious because he knew you couldn't buy a fancy cos-tume like Pete had for less than $50. But Eben let us go ahead with the case, as per the request of the Livermores, till we got fed up; till, in fact, we offered to split the re-ward. work, and went away. He came back the next morning dressed up in new high-lace- d boots, riding breeches, a checked shirt and a big hat. He was mighty proud, and If 1 jf'"' He was mighty proud, and looked like the pictures you see of northwoods guides. looked like the pictures you see of northwoods guides. Well, sir, we started out.

"Chances are," said Eben "if we find the owner of these here boot-mar- we'll have us the thief 1 seen tracks like that around the lodge beneath the window " Pete set off through the brush like a hound on the scent. Tracy and I followed wearily Pete led us straight back to the lodge, and there, sure enough were marked footprints beneath tne bedroom window.

JPf:: DAN SEYMOUR to be the national chairman of its 1950 fund drive. This on top of his active participation with the Boy's Clubs of America and other public organizations. And Seymour has no intention of being merely an honorary chairman and letting other people do the work. He's busy as a beaver, lining up to peoples in all fields to act as his assistants; they're accepting gladly. Bonita Granville plays the piano in Eagle-Lion'- s "Guilty of Treason," and actually plays! No e double performs for her, as is us-ually the case. Originally she in-tended to be a concert pianist; ex-perienced musicians say she easily could become one now if she would give up her motion career and buckle down to practising and studying. Eve Arden, winding up her stint in Warners' "Tea for Two," has both eyes on Broad-'wa- y. Richard Whorf has written a comedy about life in a Boston boarding house, "The Birds Were Up All Night;" she wants to play in it. The newspaper plant operated by Macdonald Carey in the Pine-Thom-in "The Lawless," which is wrecked by a mob, was a real one. Bill Pine, on location, saw that it was what he wanted, told the own-ers he'd have to wreck it for the picture, but would rebuild it after- - ward. They agreed. So he went ahead with scenes in the plant, it was wrecked, and he had it re-paired, for $25,000. Mary Murphy has also hit the road to stardom perhaps. Until recently she was wrapping parcels in a swank shop in Beverly Hills; she'd come to Hollywood from Cleveland in 1942. Now she has signed a long-ter- contract with Paramount. John Close, as doorman at Grau-man'- s Chinese theater some years ago, spent his evenings handing ticket stubs to John Garfield and other Hollywood celebrities. Now he's playing an important role op-posite Garfield in "The Breaking Point." It's his third picture. He is a Los Angeles boy, a graduate of Hollywood High, where he appeared in class plays with Alexis Smith. 1 CRDSSWDRD PMULgjj ACROSS DOWN 22 A dreamy. 'AX-- I. Mountain 1.
