President, and the beginning of dozens of new alphabetical agencies. This time, wi G. O. P. taking over congress, was no such|

Most observers say the present congress is about as far advanced in legislation as is usual at this stage. Thgre's always a fag-end legislative jam. Few major bills have reached President Truman to become law— the continuance of excise taxes, extension of sugar controls to Oct. 31, one deficiency bill. ; A measure quashing $6 billion in back portal-pay claims has passed both houses and is in conference.

Makes Food Offer
BERLIN, April ‘4 (U. P).—Gen. Lucius D. Clay, U. 8. military governor for Germany, in a plea for! 530,000 displaced persons still in the American zone of Germany, offered a 60-day food supply today to every person who volunteered to return home, The army also yu provide bans. | portation, he said’ The incentive was offered by Gen. Clay in hopes that some squatters would leave Getamny and thus relieve American taxpayers of the responsibility for feeding and clothing them. The U. 8. military governor said | the food premium offer included Jewish D..P.'s, who now total 153,000. i The other major groups are 153,- | 000 Poles, of which 53,000 are Pol-! ish-Ukrainian, and 104,000 Balts | from Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia, Gen. Clay warned the squatters | that their time as free boarders gn | the United States was nearing § end. “Those of you who choose to remain here in the U. S. zone rather than return home face uncertain conditions,” he said. “Assistance from the American people through the U. 8. forces here can not continue indefinitely. The extent of assistance which will be available through an international organization is likewise uncertain.”

Today both houses are winding up for the pitch on a la-bor-reforin bill. The senate prob-|s ably will pass the Greek-Turkish joan bill with few opposing votes.

“A BIT OF “FLUFF”

Dressing for the christening of our nephew, niy husband reached for the suit he wears on gala occasions.
« 4 “op,
Several hairpins bounced out of my upsweep at the. sound of his sudden bull-like - roar!
“Great Jumping Jupiter . . . look at these pants! No creases!” He pitched them onto a chair, then picked . them up, and (naturally) handed them to me.
Down in the kitchen in my _best dress, bent over an froning board, I cursed pants, creases, and men.
Two days later, I found the Pressmaster at Strauss. It was a simple plug-in gadget. It doesn’t require moisture, but operates simply by piaching its light metal - ° jaws apart, dnd clamping them on panis where the creases should be. The heat’ stays even, it's featherweight, ard works on hems, lapels or sleeve edges! The salesgirl who demonstrated the Pressmaster was re-doing the pleats in her skirt as she stood there ’ What a oy (And under $4.00, too.) : .
The next time Pappy lets out a yelp’about his creases, ¥'ll hand him our Pressmaster, and say sweetly: . . . “If you want a thing well done, darling, do it’ yourself:
