Air Force Officer Warns
Time No Longer On Side
U.S., But With Aggressor
PITTSBURGH, (JP) — Freedom
of the air hinges on United States’
ability to obtain superiority in
quality of airpower, an Air Force
general said Saturday.
Major General Donald L. Putt,
acting chief of staff in charge of
Air Force development, warned
that time is no longer on the side
of the U.S. but on the side of
the aggressor.
“Russia,” he indicated, “can
choose the moment and place to
strike — we will never take the
first step. Therefore this coun
try cannot afford to let its tech
nological discoveries sit on the
shelf.”
Truman Signs Resolution
Ending State of War
With Germany
WASHINGTON, (/P) — The
state of * war with Germany is
ended. A congressional resolution
ending it was signed by Presi
dent Truman Friday. This means
that Germans are no longer en
emy aliens in the eyes of this
country.
The resolution makes it easier
for Germans to do business and
travel in the United States. It
permits Germans to sue in U.S.
courts and it opens the way for
possible establishment of a Ger
man embassy in Washington.
But it is not a peace treaty* The
East-West split in Germany has
prevented that.

Red-headed Texas Moslem
Heads Home For Divorce
And Make Up With Mama
CAIRO, Egypt, (#>)—Sheppard
King, the red headed Texas Mos
lem who is aiming to wed Egyp
tian belly dancer Sarnia Gamal,
kissed her goodbye at the airport
Saturday and winged for his old
home on the range.
Sarnia cried a little and her
eyes were wet. But King prom
ised “I’ll rush back to Egypt as
soon as I get my divorce.”
He’s headed for Texas to re
divorce his first wife, Gloria.
They were divorced once but
patched things up temporarily
and secretly remarried in Dallas
last June.
• King, who adopted the name
“Abdullah” when he took Moslem
religion last week, said he was
also going to try to “make up”
with his mother. She said, when
she heard he was becoming a
Moslem to marry Sarnia, that she
would disinherit him of the fam
ily’s oil wealth.
Advice is something
The wise don’t need.
It’s also something
That fools won’t heed.

• NOW THIS 1 £j(ga& MAJOR SOGSi
WANDI HAVENY
HAD A SMOKE
ALL PAV J
A noted news analyst and radio
commentator recently .pointed out
the parallel between stocks and
skirts . . . calling attention to the
fact that during the booming 20’s,
hemlines went up; dropped when
the stock market did and are now
following an upward trend as is
business in general.
On first glance, it seems as
though he’s uncovered the sure fire
guarantee for prosperity. As long
as they keep substracting from the
hemline, Americans can keep add
ing to the bank balance. Unfortu
nately, his theory can’t work indefi
nitely ; because it immediately
leads to the problem of what will
happen after the gals^ have “gone
as far as they can go.”
Pursuing the conclusion of this
eminent analyst, we must natural
ly expect the imminent rise of a
new class of capitalists. No longer
will great fortunes be made in steel
and real estate; the idle rich will
be composed of an ever increasing
group of retired strip teasers
whose skirts rose even beyond ac
cepted levels. Margy Hart and
Gypsy Rose Lee will, of course, re
i place Henry Ford and John D.
i Rockefeller as the Horatio Algers
of the couptry.
How do they get that way de
partment: Up until now, the mere
male only ran the risk of falling
from grace because he failed to
notice that the little woman had
had her long hair bobbed while he
was away at the office. Now, he is
just as likely to return and find his
short haired wife sporting an ele
gant topknot or glamorous page
boy bob. The girls give credit for
the transformation to something
called the “Chignon”—if we wore
them, they’d call them toupees.
RUSSIAN TV ONLY WORDS
BUDAPEST, (/P) — Latest Rus
sian “discovery” is the art of
mass production of TV sets.
The newspaper SZABAD NEP
declares also that Russian-made
TV sets are far superior to those
of the West, giving “a clear, sharp
and perfect picture.”
However, Hungarians have to
be content with the “promise”
that TV will arrive in “the near
future.”
