Sure, How Things Aren't So Bad for Irish in White House By ED CREAGH WASHINGTON It seems there were two Irishmen and they were sittin' around the White House pressroom and the gloom between them was as thick as pent. "Ah," mourned one of them, and him no Democrat neither, "time was when St. Patrick's Day meant something around Do you remember the fine Irishmen that fellow Truman had around him?" "I 'sighed the other. "Ah, there was Matt Connelly, the President's secretary himself. And there was Will Hassett and he was another." "Yes, and Howard McGrath.

that was attorney general. Though to be sure." added the second Irishman, "there was the day Howard walked out, with maybe a boot to help him along and wasn't after walkin' back in again." Silence, damp and heavy us a Dublin fog, lay between them.

I Now Hagerty is the most peac- nble of men. but if looks would kill we'd be buryin' that poor girl on Thursday.

Formosa has been a notable increase in the volume of American military aid to the Chinese Nationalists since the first of the year. An expanded training program has been recommended also. This was disclosed today in a report by the headquarters of Maj.

Gen. William C. chase, chief ot the U. S. Military Assistance Advisory Group (MAAG).

It said Chase had urged an increase in American military personnel which is some 760 officers and men here. The volume of U. S. military aid to Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek'e forces before Jan. 1 was considered by Chase to be "less than satisfactory," the report said.
