Muellers Used to Get Mixed Up So They Took Names of Trades

IN A CONSCIENTIOUS effort to clean up everything I know about this lavish town of ours, I've Jaw reached the point where there is to do but clear up the mystery

Treppen Mueller's sons straightened out sufficiently to address them by their baptismal names even to this day. For some reason, a boy of my generation always profited by talking to a man blessed with the name of Mueller. | 1 still remember the afternoon, for instance, when Mother sent me to Kaese Mueller's store ~the one saturated with a robust Rabelaisian smell which was more or less of an accepted institution on E. Washington St. at the tifne.

Tapped Cheese to Test Holes

WHEN 1 arrived, the proprietor—a smallish man of considerable girth and a face as pink as that of a baby-—was out on the sidewalk receiving a consignment of cheese, the shipping directions of which revealed that they had come straight from Switzerland. They were as big as cart wheels, and I distinctly recall that Mr. Mueller had a cane in his hand. He used it to tap each cheese before he was ready to accept it. The curious sight must have made my eyes pop I guess. Otherwise, Mr. Mueller wouldn't have taken time off to explain to a little boy th, he 1apped the cheese to make sure that e holes in them were of the right size to suit he clientele. He sald people were awful funny that way and questioned the authenticity of Swiss cheese if it didn’t have the right-sized perforations.

Oh, but the Swiss Were Slick

THE RUSSIANS, he said, demanded a small hole; the South Americans, a medium-size hole, and the people of the United States, as big a hole as they could get for their money. The Swiss were so slick, said Mr. Mueller, that they could build a cheese with any size hole the trade demanded. The cane Kaese Mueller used that afternoon was nothing more than an ordinary walking stick. In his hands, however, it turned into a divining rod which when tapped against the cheese produced sounds responding to their specific densities, with the result that he was able to deduce the size of the hidden holes. Of course, Mr. Mueller was gifted with a mighty good ear to catch the nuances. That evening at the supper table, after observing that his dessert was provided with holes bigger than pin pricks, Father pronounced my purchase a genuine Swiss cheese. Indeed, he used the occasion to instruct Mother to stick with merchants of Kaese Mueller's integrity,

The common talk seems to be how to something for everybody except the elderly people. I am one of them. I have no suitable place to live, I am for children and living in an environment unfit for the children. I am a widow, 61 years old; not old enough for old age pension. I would feel I had nothing to complain about if I had only one little room (just most any kind) where I could get a little badly needed rest. I can't go on like this. Persons like me cannot pay big rent, and everything that is in the new rent control is so high it looks like we don’t have a chance. I would live on half enough to eat if I could have a suitable room.

We are helping the people of foreign countries, which is all right. But our very own are forgotten.

What Is Success? By Julius Houck I have always held that life is a failure; if, having lived on this earth, we do not leave it a better place to live than when we entered upon it. Also, should we marry and have children. I also hold that if we do not give to the nation better citizens than we have been, we have lived for naught. There is today a false sense of values, for we do not know success when we have attained it:

We'll Deliver Arms When China Can Pay

WASHINGTON, Sept. 20—The v. 8. Army and Navy have

agreed to use thelr ships to deliver military supplies to China—

whenever China is able to buy anything to be shipped. “An agreement on transportation—reached récently with the Army--was just one more hurdle to be cleared before the $125 million Chinese milithry ald program can get under way. ~The Chinese think it will save money and enable them to buy a few more guns and bullets and a few extra gallons of aviation gasoline to aid in their war against the Chinese Communists. : Until it was reached, they were faced with the prospect of

West Coast ports tied up in a strike.

$20 Per 1000 Bullets

THE CHINESE will pay for this service. The Army charges $20 per 1000 bullets it packs and ships. Since small arms and ammunition have top priority with the Chinese, this will cut deeply into the amount of military aid which $125 million will provide. In addition, a peculiarity of our law forces China to pay an excise tax on all ammunition taken from Army warehouses and sold to a foreign government. Actually, $125 million will provide very little military aid for the Nationalists. The Chinese have divided it among their Army ($87.5 millions), Navy, ($9 million) and Air Force ($285 million). The Chinese had hoped their army would be able to buy enough equipment to send 10 divisions back into the field. These hopes were based on expectations the United States would sell

Our Price 225 Per Cent of Cost

. THE UNITED STATES Army has little surplus left, and insists it must sell from current stocks at “replacement value.” In the case of 30 caliber bullets—which the Chinese need most— “that's approximately 225 per cent of what they cost us gnginally. The Chinese air force is finding it just as dificult to buy aviation gasoline—which is its No. 1 priority item. The amount which can be exported from this country is rationed. This quarter, it is 1,305,000 barrels. The Chinese get 160,000 barrels. Chinese sources say this restriots their operations and limits any offensive against the Communists. France and Grest Britain get considerably more. The United Kingdom's quarterly quota is 390,000 barrels. France gets 200,000 barrels. In addition, aviation gasoline quotas are assigned British dnd Fyench possessions, Chinese sourcés say they have all but given up hope their $125 million loan will help their position now.

Spy Hunters Prepared To Unveil Red Names

WASHINGTON, Sept. 20—The House spy investigators plan to trace every move made by Dr. Edward U. Condon, chief of the U, 8. Bureau of Standards, during a wartime period when the FBI trailed him. The investigators want to show he freguently visited the Soviet and satellite embassies. They expect to develop testimony in open hearings charging that many of the visits were made in the company of Dr. Nathan G. Silvermaster, accused of heading a Soviet spy ring in the government. An Un-American Activities Subcommittee last week charged that FBI reports handed to President Truman detail Dr. Cone

don’s “association with alleged Soviet espionage agents, include ing Nathan Gregory Silvermaster.”

Its charge last Friday was the has been linked with Silvermaster. Miss Elizabeth T. Bentley, who said she was once a courier for a Communist spy ring. :
