The Washington-Merry-Go-Round — Acheson Hints He s Going to Name Woman Ambassador for Top European Country By DREW PEARSON Along Pennsylvania Avenue President Truman is happy as a schoolboy over the worldwide reception given to his plan to build up backward areas. After White House aides showed him stacks of newspaper clippings, the president remarked: "This idea is so good I should have thought of it a couple of years ago.” . . , Secretary of State Dean Acheson has agreed to name a woman as ambassador to one of the top European coun tries. . . . The story on what happened to the Gallup polls, the predicters and the newspa pers during the late election has just been published by Mor ris Ernst—"The people know best.” Healthy reading for newspapermen. . . . After the real estate lobby demanded an investigation of NeW York City s rent advisory board, Chairman Joseph McGoldrick wired the senate banking and currency committee welcoming such a probe. But he added—that the investigation should also include the real estate lobby. * * * Chinese Communists and U. E. The state department has just received an awkward cable from American Consul General An gus Ward in Mukden, China. Consul Ward cabled that Am erican citizens. American prop erty and American diplomats in communist-held northern China are receiving remarkably good treatment at the hands of Chin ese communists. In fact, Ward cabled that one of the leading communist generals of the north had visited the consulate that day to pay his respects. • Dewey was invited. Not a word has been said about it. but 200 American fighter planes have been sent to Italy from Germany; also nearly 1.000 tons of U. S. am munition have gone to the Italian army. General Glay decided on the shipments af ter one of his aides conferred with one Italian chief of staff in Rome. The USA has started secret negotiations with Panama to secure new American bases. Panama cancelled its bases agreement last year, at which time U. S. troops promptly pul led out. Now Panamians are of fering new bases in return for a loan. Army-navy, in turn, want to set up radar equipment in Panama—outside the canal zone—to warn against enemy aircraft.

The Chinese general was most polite, spent an hour as suring Ward of the commun ist desires for friendship with the USA. and their hope of peaceful cooperation and trade. Following this. Ward took the communist general on a tour of the American con sulate. His visitor seemed much im Kresscd, particularly by an ex ibit of the U. S,. information service which featured news dis {latches and propagranda, trans ated into Chinese, telling Am erica’s story to the Chinese peo ple. "Now, Mr. Consul,” the Chin ese communist general said, "I am delighted that you Ameri cans believe in the freedom of the press. I think that is a very fine exhibit. We believe in free dom of the press, too.” Consul Ward smiled happily. Then he stopped smiling. "Since we all believe in the freedom of the press,” contin ped the Chinese communist gen eral, "I have a few documents and articles that I’d like to put up with your exhibits so that the people can see both sides of the story. That would only be freedom of the press. I know you will be glad to do it.” Consul Ward had no answer. He engaged in some polite doubletalk, then hastily wired the state department for instruc tions. * * * GIRL SCOUT NEWS IRISH LASSIES TROOP I The Irish Lassie Girl Scouts troop I held its usual meeting Tuesday, February 1 at 3:30 p. m. at the home of Mrs. Hickey.

Leidy — O’NEILL — When You and I Were Young — Man Perishes in Cold While Seeking Shelter in a Hay Stack 66 YEARS AGO February 13, 1883 As Ira Price, who lives South of O’Neill, was going home last Wednesday afternoon, he dis covered the dead body of one Mr. Praha, a Bohemian, who lived six miles South of O’Neill. Procuring assistance the body l of the unfortunate man was placed in the wagoh and was brought to O’Neill, where it was taken in charge by the sheriff and laid out in Odd Fellows’ hall. Friday afternoon he start ed home in the blinding storm and nothing more was seen of him until found as above des cribed. He was by a hay stack and had a well beaten path, about a rod long, which he no doubt made in trying to keep warm. It is curious he did not I set the stack on fire, as he had matches, but he was probably too numb to think of anything. His friends were notified and came Thursday, &nd Friday af ternoon he was buried in the cemetery near town. While in Fremont a fort night ago, Mr. Fahy talked with some men engaged in the creamery business, and they talked very favorably of putting in a creamery at O' Neill, provided the citizens will subscribe stock to the amount of $2,500, they agree ing to furnish the same amount. It would be a grand thing for O'Neill and the set tlement, and we urge the peo ple to take hold of the enter prise and push it forward to completion. Wm. Dugal, son-in-law of Mrs. Judd, died last Friday of consumption, and was buried Sunday. Mr. Dugal had been in the Black Hills for some time, and while there contracted ty phoid, which merged into con sumption. He came home about a month ago, since which time he has gradually failed, until death finally relieved him of his suffering. The sympathy of friends is extended to the be reaved relatives. water from the canal had better secure it before it is too late. The postponement of the survey until Spring has proven a waste of valuable time. The Winter up to date has been an unusually open one and the survey could have been easily made.
