Encyclopaedia
Britannica Says—
Since the first recorded com
mercial production of petroleum
in the 1850’s, the earth has been
tapped for more than 33,000,000,000
barrels (of 42 U. S. gallons). The
United States yielded nearly 64%
of this amount or about 22,000,
000,000 barrels.
At one time it was the man who
worried most about his headdress.
Men did not wear short hair until
the fifth century. Some of the pop
ular styles before that time includ
ed hair* hanging in loose ringlets,
or braided in two plaits wound
around the head.
In colonial Virginia, each man
was required to carry a weapon to
church for protection against the
Indians.
United Nations
Approach Crucial
Test For Existence
LAKE SUCCESS, <£h — Trygve
Lie is approaching one of the most
crucial periods in his tenure as
secretary-general of the United
Nations with expressed hopes of
an early break in the East-West
d e a dlock stalling international
agreement.
With the 55-nation general as
sembly opening in two weeks for
what some observers choose to
call a make-or-break session, Lie
is confident at least some of the
difficulties between the United
States and Russia will be wiped
away, he told the Associated Press
yesterday.
Lie asknowledged that it was
impossible to forecast whether the
log-jam would be broken as early
as this fall, but he added a convic
tion that “suddenly something will
happen.”
Nearing the end of his second
year as the world’s top interna
tional civil servant, the 51-year
old Norwegian believes that sign
ing and ratification of all the peace
treaties eventually will*clear the
path for the U. N. to function at
top efficiency. He was greatly en
couraged by Moscow’s recent rati
fication of the pacts with Italy,
Hungary, Bulgaria, Romania and
Finland.
He is a supporter of the Mar
shall economic proposal for Eu
rope and said “the hopes of mil
lions of people” rest on receiving
help.

Truman Creates
»
Political Interna
tional Crises
WASHINGTON, (/P)—Rep. Ben
der (R.-Ohio), contended yesterday
that President Truman is cheating
"synthetic” international crises
for political purposes.
A consistent critic of adminis
tration foreign policy, Bender said
in a statement the President "is
I trying to create a situation in
which his cohorts will argue that
| we should not change the Demo
! cratic mule in midstream.”
"I can see only one purpose to
Mr. Truman’s present course in
foreign affairs,” Bender said.
"That is the political purpose of
moving from one international
crisis to another in order to estab
lish himself as a leader who should
not be abandoned m tne midst ot
a virtual state of war.”
The Ohio lawmaker added that
he has asked chairman Taber (R.-1
N. Y.> of the House oppropriations
committee to undertake a thorough
investigation of what he called!
}‘‘the Truman doctrine” and ‘‘the!
I Truman-Marshall doctrine.”
There was no immediate admin
! istration rebuttal to Bender.
Several Congressional commit
tees, including a special group
composed of members of the ap
propriations and armed services
committees, already have begun
investigations abroad into both the
Marshall plan for European re
covery and the Greek-Turkish pro
gram designed to block Commun
ist expansion in those countries.

For Crown Of
“Miss America”
_, «
ATLANTIC CITY, N. J. (/Pi
Brunettes and southern belles
dominate the honors today in the
1947 competition for the “Miss
America” crown.
Not a single blonde or redhead

Two southern contestants won
last night’s preliminaries. Miss
Kentucky, Louisville’s Evelyn L.
Murphy, was rated tops in the
“bathing suit” test, while Miss
Memphis, Barbara Jo Walker,
walked off with the honors in the
talent competition.
•They joined the previous night’s
southern winners, Miss Miami
Beach, Pepper Donna Short, who
won that first talent test, and Miss
Alabama, Peggy June Elder of
Gadsden, who tied for first place
in the beauty division with Miss
New York City, Raven Malone,
lone winner thus far from above
the Mason-Dixon line.
Another preliminary competi
tion is scheduled for tonight when
i the 15 leading contestants will be
! named to appear in tomorrow’s
final. The winner then will receive
a $5,000 scholarship and assorted
contract offers as well as the
"Miss America” crown.
