Red Cross Blood
Plasma Sold
SHANGHAI, (iP) — “Disruption
caused by typhoons” is the official
explanation of the sale of Ameri
can Red Cross blood plasma to
Chinese commercial firms which
are retailing it at $25 a pint. The
! amount of plasma involved was
not stated, but it was reported
worth millions of dollars at cur
I rent prices here.
A U. S. navy spokesman in a
written statement, said today the
i plasma was part of 10,000 tons of
medical supplies declared surplus
by the Navy after two severe ty
phoons partially destroyed stock
piles on Okinawa last fall.
Nylon Beats Hog Bristles
In Close Shave
Army men prefer nylon shaving
brushes to hog bristle brushes.
This was learned when the
Army tested men in 1944 to settle
the question of which type of
brush to issue. For four weeks, 56
men tested the brushes, alternat
ing the brushes each day. The
final score: 43 preferred nylon, 10
! liked the hog bristle brush and
the other three were undecided.
The Army didn’t ask them if
they would have preferred elec
! trie razors.
i
Mr. Lhamon presented the
American Flag to the President
Bud Harper and the singing of the
National Anthem then followed.
It must be said that the party
was a grand success and that
, much credit is due the committees
[ and all who assisted in making it
' so.
Czar Lewis Orders
Shutdown Of
Coal Mines
i
(Continued From Page One
Within 20 minutes, Lewis’ office
made known that the mine leader
chief already had notified secre
tary of the interior Krug that the
contract will be considered at an
end within five days (that is next
Wednesday night). This notice was
based on a previous contract be
tween the UMW and the mine
owners.
The President, terming the gov
ernment’s proposal “fair and
equitable,” called for its “serious
reconsideration.”
He declared a second look will
convince the United Mine work
ers it is “for the best interest of
all concerned.”
In a formal statement, Mr. Tru
man said the government cannot
replace private management as
the bargaining agent with the coal
miners “without interfering with
true collective bargaining between i
management and labor.”
Krug’s proposal, the President
said, “has been accepted by the
bituminous coal mine operators’
negotiating committee.”
Mr. Truman’s statement was is
sued at the White House shortly
after Mr. Truman boarded the
yacht Williamsburg for a trip to
Annapolis. The President’s de
parture had been delayed about
an hour by last minute conferences
with Krug and reconversion direc
tor John R. Steelman.
Bore—I’m a self-made man,
! that’s what I am—a self-made
man.
Listener—You knocked off work
too soon.

U. S. To Conduct
Cold Weather Tests
In Antarctic
WASHINGTON, (A>) — The
United Statest aware of Russia’s
uneasiness over military maneu
vers in the Arctic, has picked the
other end of the earth for a frigid,
zone test of naval ships and wea
pons.
A navy announcement giving
details of the forthcoming expedi
tion to the Antarctic defined it as
“primary of a military nature,”
preparatory for a possible “day in
the future when the navy may be
called upon to operate in cold wea
ther.”
Selection of the south polar re- (
gion for training navy personnel |
and trying out ships, aircraft and
other paraphernalia of modern j
war presumably was dictated
among things, bu two American;
desires:
1. To allay Russia worries over
operations in the vicinity of Soviet1
territory.
2. To asure by means of the re- i
moteness of the area, some degree
of secrecy for the maneuvers. The I
expedition is under the technical
direction of polar explorer Rear
Adm. Richard E. Byrd.
The question of whether mate
rial for atomic energy—and bombs
—might be sought bounced around
a bit in the news conference.
Byrd declared that any state
ment that “this is a uranium race
is not correct.” (Uranium is a nu-'
clear fission material).
The earliest equivalent of mod
ern newspapers was the series of
public announcements called Acta
Diurna, issued during the Roman 1
Empire.
