10-Congress doesn't know where it is ing in legislative affairs--and neither does anybody here on the top-level side of government. Despite the impression that a lot of legislative policies of domestic importance are in the making. the fact remains that Joseph Stalin and his politburo are about the only persons in the world who know what the United States and her allies are going to be up against in 1952. The Communist propaganda technique IS being worked overtime. The Moscow "line," expressed through Vishinsky at Paris, is that the armament boom In the United States has 10 continue in order to bolster the American economy and that the Korean talks are bogged down because America does not want to face the economic consequences of an armistice in the Far East.

The effort of Vishinsky to mudwaters by secking to transfer the Korean truce talks from Korea to the Security Council in Paris, where Russia can mess up the whole international situation still more. is fully understood here and by the American delegation to the U. N. in Paris. But there seems to be no counter-strategy except to try to defeat such a resolution in the N.

and wait week by week to see what the Russians will do. Meanwhile. President Truman and Prime Minister Churchill and their staffs are discussing defenses against a possible new war of aggression in southeast Asia. There are rumors of new steps by the Communists to harass Formosa. is the Communist aggressors have not been deterred in the least by the "limited war" 1n Korea.

The whip hand is held by Moscow. which is now pushing the ransom theory to its maximum advantage. Not only is the return of American at stake in the Korean negotiations. but many Americans behind the iron curtain in Europe are virtually hostages. Thus, three of the four American newspapermen in Moscow are married to Russians.

They cannot bring their wives with them and come back to the United States it assigned to some other work in this country. The Communists are not letting any Russian wives of forcigners leave that country whether they are American or British or any other nationality. The tragic fact is that Moscow has been growing gradually more and more arrogant on the ransom BIRTHDAY PARTY Mr. and Mrs. Robert Shank, Buckeystown.

gave a birthday party last Sunday in honor of Miss Nancy Hammond. She received a number of presents and cards. Refreshments were enjoyed by the following guests: Mr. and Mrs. business.

With the readiness of United States to pay $120,000 the four American fliers imprisoned in Hungary and with the failure of the United tates to take any more action besides closing a couple Hungarian consulates, the Communists are getting bolder and bolder. It is estimated that there are least 5,000 Americans behind the iron curtain in Europe and that any time the Russians want make trouble and put out tant demands for them, they can do so. This is one reason why Senaaor Russell of Georgia, felt that it was a grave mistake to have paid ransom to Hungary and that the test should have come on that episode. The wishful thinking of Washington spokesman who have been saying all along that the excursion into Korea was a deterrent to further aggression by the Communists has not panned out. The Chinese negotiators are doing about as they please and they seem to be dictating what they will or will not accept.

Under the circumstances. with world tension increasing instead of diminishing. Congress cannot do much besides drift along and wait to find out from the executive branch of the government whether there are more wars of the so-called "limited" variety or more threats of aggression that will reand more armament. No program of legislation major questions can be considered as firm or fixed so long as the international situation is dominated by Communist strategy in Moscow. The entire attitude of the United States and Great Britain is defensive.

It is based on the idea of meeting the offensive moves 1 by the Communists as they arise, and apparently no effort is being made to bother the Communists in their own backyard, as has been advocated so many times by various groups, especially those who have escaped or have been exiled from iron curtain countries. The sad part of the story is that Congress, even in its important committees, has no information to steer by and neither have the military service chiefs, because the State Department does not know what's coming and the so-called intelligence reports from abroad cannot do more than speculate as to Russian intentions. It is a 'drifting, aimless atmosphere, with ominous clouds on the horizon. that prevails as Congress has opened for its 1952 session. (Reproduction Rights Reserved) Charles Hammond and Joan, Mr.

However, the chairmen of the committees in both houses of Congress where the legislation would originate already see difficulties in a session which will be dominated by political considerations on the eve of national election. Senator Richard B. Russell, chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, proposes a partial trial. He would permit 60.000 boys from 17 to 19 years of age to volunteer for the six months training provided by UMT, and then go on active reserve duty for 18 months. In that way, they would also discharge their draft obligations and provide a laboratory for the manner in which such boys will be absorbed into the armed forces.

His plan may be the best that can be hoped from this session, but it is a very far cry from the original concept of universal military training that would provide a great manpower, pool of reservists ready to come to the defense of the country as needed. Scientific Nonesuch The idea of a gun that would shoot around a corner formerly was a joke or a pipe dream. but yesterday's pipe dreams are today's scientific accomplishments. There really is such a gun now. It has been developed at the Detroit arsenal.

and it will fire 450 .45 caliber slugs a minute. It is accurate. too, says Joseph C. Soma, project engineer at the arsenal--more accurate than a gun straight barrel. With it, a GI could stand on Fifth Avenue and 42nd Street, New York, facing down Fifth Avenue, and mow Communists down as they marched along 42nd Street.

The thing is being turned out as a curved barrel that fits the Army's standard submachine gun, the M-3. It takes less than a minute to attach. It should come in handy in Korea, where enemy soldiers climbing up on tanks have been hard to cope with. Light that could negotiate A curve was already listed among scientific accomplishments. Now it can be done with bullets.

That legendary farmer who said "There ain't no such animal" when he first saw a giraffe must have been struck dumb by now. A public accustomed to television and modern airplanes IS no longer as impressed when a revolutionary new idea is perfected as a former generation was when electric lights or the automobile first made a faltering appearance. People now expect science to do the impossible. Letters To The Editor Directors Of Citizens Truck Co. Reply To The Editor of The News.

Is there any such place as Texas? "Trustingly, "Virginia." No, Virginia, there isn't any Texas. Texas is just one of those goodnatured American myths--like Paul Bunyan, George Washington's cherry tree, or -that have been handed down, generation after generation, until many people have come to believe that they are true. It would be nice, wouldn't it, if there, really were a A thundering day-and-night rodeo, with oil gushing from every hoofprint? A valhalla (that's a sort of Hot Springs, for the gods, Virginia) of the tallest, handsomest, bravest hombres ever out a and the sweetest, prettiest women this side of Mary Martin? But you're getting to be a big girl now, Virginia, and the truth must not be kept from you. Don't tell your playmates, but there isn't a thing between Oklahoma and the Gulf of Mexico, between Louisiana and Arizona, except sand and sagebrush, swept ceaselessly by howling winds that sometimes sound like human voices. Figure it out for yourself, Virginia: There couldn't be a Texas.

No nation on carth, not even this rich and powerful land of ours, could afford a Texas. IC Texas really existed, there wouldn't be room for the rest of us. Before you knew it. the whole country would be overrun by Texans. And that way madness lies.

How did this Texas legend get started. then? Well, years ago a couple of pioneers, real put out because a stranger had his nose into private bailiwick of Arkansas, stood staring moodily out at the west, wondering if it wasn't time to push on. "Sure is a big one of them said. "Hmmpf." said the other. "Nothin's sure 'cept death 'n' taxes." "Haw-haw-haw" chortled the first pioneer, who was hard of hearing.

"that's a good one, nothin's sure 'cept death 'n' Texas." His friend looked at him sharply, saw this chance and took it. He shot first pioneer, moseyed back cast and -old the joke (for that kind of thing was regarded as a for $3. joke in those days) to a Americans are great ones to goon along with a gag. and the story spread. People started pretending there really was a place called Texas.

They invented imaginary Tovans, like Davy Crockett (who really was a Tennessecan), and make-believe cities like Dallas and Fort Worth. That's the story, Virginia, and I hope you'll keep it to yourself. Let the other children believe in Texas. l1 will do them good. Somebody, pretending to be Texan, once said that if Texas didn't exist, it would be necessary to invent one.

10 (AP) transit went on strike today and to work workers, in private cars brought a choking downtown traffic jam. Cars were bumper to bumper and barely moving within a ten-block radius the center of the city. Not a street car, trackless trolley or transit bus was on the streets as 3,200 AFL operating and maintenance workers went on picket duty at of the Baltimore Transit terminals. Early morning traffic moved almost normally, sped along by the absence of the big transit vehicles. Shortly after 9 a.

m. the jam-up started. BALTIMORE, Jan. 10 (A)-The public transportation system of Baltimore braked to a halt carly today: as 3,200 employes of the Baltimore Transit Co. went out on strike.

Pickets started marching in 8 cold. steady rain at 4 a. m. before all BTC terminals. by the AFL Drivers' Union halted operation of all busses, street cars, and trackless trolleys operated by the company.

The strike against a transportation system that hauls 375,000 passengers daily began despite frantic, last-minute efforts by mediators and public officials. City officials got ready for a record flow of private cars into the city and kept their fingers crossed in hope that the resulting traffic snarl wouldn't get out of hand. Police Commissioner Beverly Ober appealed to the public for cooperation, asking drivers to form car pools to the greatest possible extent, to use parking lots and garages to the maximum, and to leave their cars at home and walk if it was possible. Parking restrictions on downtown streets were called off except on designated arteries. The last-minute efforts to avert the strike resulted in a company offer of a seven-cent increase in hourly pay rates.

Its best previous offer was four cents. The union turned down the offer because the seven-cent raise, like the four-cent proposal, was made only on condition that the company would get relief in the form of increased fares. Clayton G. Perry, president of the local union, said no offer made such a contingent basis would be acceptable. The union originally demanded a 24-cent raise and has not receded from that demand, although it did drop its bid for other benefits it had insisted upon at the beginning of negotiations five weeks ago.

Base pay for bus, trolley and street car operators is now $1 63 an hour. Governor McKeldin also entered the picture last night, after strike call had been issued by the union executive board, with appeals to President Truman.

asks if is serious to pass blood in the urine. She says that her husband, who is 75. did some heavy lifting which night have caused it. Some people, she says, feel that this is not serious. This letter raises an Important question because far too many poople tend to ignore the appearance of blood in the urine.

especially since it is likely to be intermittent or than continuous. Actually, this should never be ignored, and even the matter of 3 month or two may mean the difference between life and death This sympton is not caused by a "strain" or a "cold." but some more serious condition is almost always present. It means that there is bleeding somewhere along the urinary passageways. The blood may come from high up in one or both kidneys. ing from the kidneys result from an injury, a tumor.

an inflamation, stones. and from other disorders these organs. Needless to say, anything which causes enough bleeding in the urine should be investigated promptly and completely. Most such conditions can be treated successfully either by medical means or by surgery if they are discovered early enough. The great tragedy, however, is that when they have been allowed to exist for too long they often reach a stage in which successful treatment is no After leaving the longer, urine passes down tubes as ureters--one for each kidney.

These tubes can be injured. can pressed upon by tumors, or can be blocked by stones Any of these may cause bleeding into the urine. Below the ureters lies the bladder and especially in men other structures which can become diseased and cause blood to appear in the urine. Beware of False Relief Blood may appear for a short time in the urine and then disappear, leading to a false sense of relief and security. Scientists in this field maintain that this irregularity of bleedng is responsible for many tragic delays and that many of their problems are much worse because of neglect." To take warning from such a symptom as the appearance of blood in the urine is just common sense.

Untold suffering and often death would be avoided if more attention was paid 10 this dangerous symptom and it it was not ignored as something of no importance. In the fiscal year 1949, 188.317 immigrants were admitted to the United States Advertising Is Good Risk Advertising Side Glances Risk By ROGER NEW YORK This is not W. BABSON CITY, Jan. 10- defense of advertis- a a the for a at to ing. Probably as much money has been wasted on advertising as on drilling for oil or mining for gold; but getting only dry wells and dead veins! But without those willing to take these wild-cat risks, we would Koger W.

Babson have no oil no gold. Advertising is a risk and should be sold as such. Advertising Is A Good Risk But advertising is a good risk. Money spent thereon is the best gamble that I know of. According to an Advertising Bureau which made a study of the 717 companies which were spending annually over $25,000 on advertising ten years ago, are still in business and doing more advertising than ever, while only are now spending less on advertising.

Only one company in twelve found advertising unprofitable. Those companies which have quit advertising were trying to sell a wrong product, or had wrong sales policies, or an antiquated management. The way this has stayed. in business with continuing success, despite competition from new companies and improved products, proves my point. Opportunities In Small Cities Most of the above 717 concerns are located in the larger cities; but believe that statistics of merchants in small cities would show an equal percentage of success.

The most successful companies are now giving much advertising to small dailies and weekliesse This tendency is sure as years go on. The people of small communities read advertisements very carefully. One of the safest investments is in newspapers, large or small, especially where there is only one newspaper which controls the field. It is true that the costs of ducing all newspapers are rising; but it is easy to raise the price of newspaper. Most newspapers now sell for five cents, while some have recently increased to seven or ten cents.

People want news; the more they pay for a newspaper, the more carefully it is read (news and ads) -hence. more valuable is its advertising space. Helping Your Employes I believe in Pension Plans; but pensions help wageworkers only after they are 65 years old. Advertising helps all employes all the time. Too few companies take seriously the problem of making factory workers understand the importance of what advertising does to hold up production with high employment.

Labor newspapers should not accuse businessmen of "throwing money away" by spending it on advertising. It is true that advertisexpenditures about $6 billion in 1951, but nearly all of it closely watched for very prompt results in greater sales. which. when achieved, lead to larger payrolls.
