is the THE OTHER DAY we were ing for something We do not know what it was because quent developments scared it all out of us In the course of our search we looked in a little-used compartment of the bag which we carry around in our to hold change 0 yes it was to find a place for a for a watch we were having cleaned Well in that forgotten pocket in that coin purchase we came across thirteen stamps neatly folded but slightly dog-eared NOW WE never carry stamps in that ever So we got to thinking And then it hit us We dimly recall that on one of our trips to the a friend gave us a package and a half-dollar to cover mailing The postage must have come to 11 cents and the rest was what our friend told us to take in three cent stamps But now comes the horrifying Which friend was it and when did we do What were the circum- And why did we not re- turn the stamps to this friend at FOR DAYS NOW we have been alternately hot and cold worrying about it Wondering if it was some lady in the War's bridge Or someone we just happened to meet on the street Or who the hill was it So if you are the guy whom we have done out of in stamps won't you let us know and claim your Just to ease our It is getting so we rot sleep just like the guy who could not sleep for wondering how he looked when he was slumbering Talk about unlucky those thirteen stamps are making a bum out of us Has this ever ed to

Powers WASHINGTON Ufi Sen hart renewing his plea for standby controls said today such power would be a little economic penicillin against economic a war God forbid statement was pre- pared as the to hearings scheduled by the ate Banking Committee to last two weeks on economic controls legislation Some 60 witnesses are expected Leadoff witnesses for today's session were Charles Holman of the National Milk Producers C W Kitchen of the Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Association and a spokesman for the Dairy In- dustry Committee Before the Senate committee are numerous proposals for extending controls which expire in the next few months as well as legislation introduced by Capehart and 11 other committee members to the President to revive con- in the event of war or ic emergency CAPEHART chairman of the committee said he was against economic controls in principle but felt standby powers were needed to prevent any disastrous economic dislocation Nevertheless he said he was not stiff-necked about details of his proposal He expressed willingness to compromise with lawmakers like Senate Republican Leader Taft of Ohio who oppose any standby controls As proposal now stands the President could freeze prices wages and rents for 90 days in an emergency During this day period congress could enact permanent controls Capehart said he would be Ing to shorten the freeze period from 90 to 60 days or even ex- tend it to 120 He maintained the two world wars showed most in- came while Congress tried to enact temporary controls un- der pressure He All of the Eisenhower officials told us frankly and honestly that an emergency may develop that might make such controls necessary I don't question Sen Taft's sincerity in opposing standby controls but I do question his judgment Taft has said any standby con- would be a threat to business and free enterprise If such powers arc ever needed he has said Con- gress can quickly grant them Two Red Embassy Aides Are Shot RANGOON Burmese army

wartime conferences at j Tehran and Yalta Humphrey said Bohlen testified Roosevelt made the agreements at Yalta which President er said the Russians have verted to enslave other peoples on the basis that they were merely temporary and must be submitted to the Senate as treaties where they involved any territorial con- cessions SEN TAFT of Ohio Republican majority leaders and a committee member said Bohlen contended the understandings were entered into in good faith on Roosevelt's part and with the belief that the Russians would carry them out President Eisenhower has asked Congress to join

companied by their senator or con- gressman At least that's the story told day by an informed person who may not be named As this source told Since he assumed office Jan 20 President Eisenhower and his have taken a dim view of the old American custom of having beauty queens pictured with the president The president it was explained was too busy And he didn't think much of the idea in the first place Senators and congressmen ways do the honors when there's a queen around from their state Her arrival means luncheons tours of the capitol and quite often in the past meant a handshake with the president to accompaniment of clicking cameras The lawmakers felt the folks at home sort of expected them to shoot the works But the White House wasn't co-operative and there was some plain and fancy griping from Congress Pressure reportedly built up and the White House capitulated The latest word is that congressmen can sec the president any time an appointment can be fitted in And they can bring along anybody they like including beauty queens Poker Gome Raided CANTON broke up a private poker game at the Stark County Fairgrounds Sunday and charged eight men with gambling The game was in a barn
