NO FREEZE ON DINOSAURS,
WAX FRUITS, SAYS OPS
WASHINGTON, (JP)—'The gov
ernment said yesterday it no long
er is interested in keeping its
price freeze on such things as
dinosaur skeletons, bowling pins,
sundials, and stuffed elephants
and donkeys used for educational
purposes.
The Office of Price Stabiliza
tion said it has come to the con
clusion that “such commodities
are of minor significance to the
economy and have but a trifling
effect on the cost of living.”
The OPS order ^Jso exempted
“non-edible foods.” It was ex
plained that this means such
things as “wax fruits” and “plas
tic turkeys”.
Case Dismissed
SANTA MONICA, Calif., (#•)—
James W. Walker, 53, came to
court Wednesday to plead that
a heart attack, not intoxication,
caused him to drive erratically
last Oct. 12, when he was cited
for drunken driving.
He stood up as his name was
called, then collapsed. Doctors
pronounced him dead of a heart
attack.
Not ‘Safe’ Without
1952 Tax Increase,
Declares Truman
WASHINGTON, (A5)—President
Truman has expressed the view
that to try to get along without
another tax boost would not be
“safe”.
He gave his opinion in a letter
made public Thursday by Senat
ors Moody, (D-Mich) and Mon
roney (D-Okla). They had written
the President on Dec. 30 that they
believed a tax increase this year
wrculd not be “wise or necessary.”
In a reply dated Jan. 26, Tru
man said “The fiscal outlook of
the government is such that it
is not safe to forego some in
creases in taxes.”
In opposing another general tax
increase the two senators sugges
ted three alternatives to a tax
boost:
1. Closing of tax loopholes.
2. Seeking additional specific
economies.
3. “Averaging off our fiscal
balance in a five year package.”
The use of vinegar, a mild acid,
tends to loosen the hard deposit
that forms inside a tea kettle.

Eden & Schumann
In Agreement On
Army for Germany
PARIS, (#*)— British Foreign
Secretary Anthony Eden and
French Foreign Minister Robert
Schumann wound up talks Sat
urday on the stubborn problem
of what to do about arming Ger
many. They said they were in
“complete agreement.”
But the communique didn’t say
what they agreed on.
Eden, however, renewed a Brit
ish promise to work “as closely
as possible” with a unified six
nation European army, now in
the troubled process of formation.
Prime Minister Churchill gave
a similar pledge in December,
but reiterated Britain’s refusal to
join the army itself.
The problem before the two
diplomats was to agree on how
soon she should have them. Pres
ently projected for Germany are
12 divisions, plus small naval
units and an airforce of 1,500
planes.
The European countries want
to keep the United States from
forcing what they think may be
too speedy rearmament of the late
enemy. But they don’t want td
slow things down so much it will
discourage United States partici
pation in European defense or in
vite Russian pressure.
