Too Mar ij Bad Headline 1 $1936 Saved By Firms Improved Production Methods Liquor Authority Reserves Decision On Hotel License NEW LEBANON, N.Y. A public hearing bn the application of the Mansion Hotel for a liquor license, was held Thursday afternoon at the State Liquor Authority office in Albany.

The decision of the SLA will probably not be known for several Weeks. This is Hie. third time that Anthony R. Alphonse and Joseph Frieri have applied for a license for their establishment opposite the Congregational Church. Russell Young appear.

In favor, of the applicants and a letter from Whitney sott as well as a 'containing 330 names was presented to Commissioner Howard Mosher who heard the case. Opposed to the granting of license were Cromwell' McIntosh who lives next to the church, and William H. Barringer of the Shaker Village Work Camp, both of whom attended the hearing. Letters in opposition from Harry W. Decker and Warren Bleezarde were presnted to the cfimmlssionr.

Rv. J. Burwell Lamb, D.D., pastor of. the Congregatidnal Church, who appeared in opposition at pre-vlous hearings. Is out oftown on payers.

UA Cost $109,616,644 i The charge highlighted a report stating that membership in 45 international organizations cost the United States $109,616,644 during the year ended June 30. This was the lions share of the tojtal expenses of the organizations because member Countries contributed largely on the basis of the capacity to pay. The subcommittee recognized that the United States have to continue to bearthe biggest part of the costs until qther countries Jget back on their, feet. But in tie meantime it felt that every effort must be made by these organizations to make the most efficient use possible of the funds at their -dispqsaL Tlie report alsotermed the special, (money allowances given United Rations Employees as excessive in some instances and unVar-rantqdm others. The subcommittee said that considerable duplication In professional and administrative services apparently resulted from each of the UN.

-subsidiary organizations operating as an Independent agency. It may well be that a central secretariat, which would Include the United Nations and the spe- cialized agencies, would lead toT the elimination of dupli-catiOn which, in turn, might result in Increased efficiency and decreased cost, the report said. The UN. specialized agencies include the International Civil Aviation Organization, Food and Agriculture Qrganizatlon, International Labor Organization, International Refugee Organization, UN. Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization, International Telecommunications Union, Universal Postal Union and International Children's Emergency Fund.

Senator Irving M. Ives is chairman of the subcommittee, papt of the Senate Committee on Expenditures, which made the report. Other members 'are Senators Bourke B. Hickenlooper (R-Iowa), and Herbert R. OConor of pro-American factions had been attempted in Russia recently.) 8.

American control of the worlds feas has not been successfully challenged by her potential enemies or even objected to by the democracies. Fifty-five democracies and Czechoslovakia at the International Trade Conference in Havana made a tremendous step forward in international trade." 1 10. America production and employment is at the top and at least five times higher than that of possible enemies. And, he added oilr budget is balanced. Fulton says hes happy about the whole thing.

A member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, he says hes going to spend the summer fishing and campaigning for re-election. A subcontract for the installation of 352 parking meters has been awarded to Oscar W. Dodge by Shafer Greenburg, state distributor of the Rhode-Master meters manu factured by H. H. Rhodes Inc.

of Hartford, Conn. The installation cost will be $4 for each meter, a total of $1408. Although the lnstallatlon will be made by local workers, factory engineer will be on hand to supervise the project. The contract specifies that the posts are to be 50 inches long, andthat the top of the 14-inch meters will be 54 inches from the ground. The prime contract for the was signed last Friday by Mayor Capeless and Karl B.

McEach-ron, chairman of the parking meter commission. It amounts to $21,824, or $62 per meter, and in eludes the cost of the meters plus the complete cost of installation. The delay In awarding the contract meant a saving to the city of $1936. The meters were listed at $67.50 each, but Pittsfield was given the benefit of a price change resulting from better production methods. Too much attention is beirig jald to th bad headlines, he said.

Tta hh time took a look at the events on the right, side of the ledger. Here are 10 black ink de-ve'opments: 1. No country in Europe stands in immediate danger of being taken over by -communism. 2. The democracies are winning In countries al over the world and are stalemated in only three cities BerLn, Trieste and Vienna.

Even here, he added. Trieste and Vienna are quiet and well win in Berlin, 3. Latm America is completely qu.et, and instead of the Bogota riot being a fuse to. blow up South America it turned out to be a dud. 4.

Some of the Central-Ameri-can republics are continuing their traditional feuding but there is no evidence of outside pressures or effects. 5. The situation in China is at a status quo, and time la working in our favor there. 6. We are winning in Greece much more quickly than some people expected.

7. Russias troubles have greatly increased. She is not only at oddi with Yugoslav Marshal Tito but has many dissident groups at home. (Here Fulton said he had heard a strong rumor that several. purge FAREWELL AT SAILLVG: Clark Gable, film and Mr.
