ABERDEEN, Wash. iJP) — A
slow trickle of water freed by
gas oline flame-throwers and
warmer weather raised hopes for
an early epd to the watfer short
age in this city of 25,000.
Emergency supplies diverted
from neighboring Hoquiam and
industrial sources lifted the flow
in city mains to about 60 percent
of normal.
Nearly a third of the homes,
however, are still without water
and pressure is still too low to
combat a major fire.
The improvised flame throwers
were turned Monday on a half

wooden intake pipe in an effort

“Scram” Means
Just Thai In N. J.
NEWARK, N. J. (A3)—A fellow
may whistle at a girl and stay
within the law in Newark—but
only as long as she likes it.
When she says “scram,” the law
agrees it’s time to do just that.
Otherwise it comes under me
head of molesting.
City magistrate Samuel Cooper
defined the law yesterday at a
pre-spring conference with New
ark’s 19 policewomen.
Policemowan Martha Br e n t
said that was exactly the way
Newark’;; plainclothes fern a 1 e
cops handled it. “We always give
them a chance to go away,” she
said.
“But if they bother us after we
have said ‘scram,’ it’s a different
story.”

Emma Henry was given thirty

U. S. May Aid Indo
Cliina Fight Reds
WASHINGTON, (/P)—Officials
said today President Truman may
draw on a special $75,000,000 Far
Eastern fund to help newly recog
nized Indo-Chinese governments
fight communist expansion.
A promise of American aid to
the new governments of Vietnam,
Laos and Cambodia was held out
by the state department yesterday
in announ c i n g United States
recognition of those French-sup
ported regimes.
This action followed British
recognition by a few hours and
came within a matter of days af
ter France had ratified agree
ments establishing the three
states as independent political
units within the French Union.
Recognition by this country had
been foreseen, but not so quickly.
The speed apparently was
prompted by Russia’s recognition
i of the Indo-Chinese regime of
| communist Ho Chi-Minh last
i week.

try and clear up a misunder

defined list of duties for the nurse
in relation to her work in private
homes in the community.
It was also brought out that
