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.

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.

The postponement of the survey
