MR. BROOKS shuddered while Mr. Hutton turned the instrument off. I was instructed not to talk like that. Chipping a letter means a new monument.

True to Truman

"By Andrew ] Tully

WASHINGTON, Jan 14—Things are pretty well set for President Truman's inauguration now that the Red Cross has been altered and they've picked a door prize for the New York State Society's pre-inaugural ball Saturtiay night. Twenty first-aid stations, connected by two-

way radio, will be set up along ‘the parade route

and at the capitol. There'll bé six ambulances hovering about. Psychiatrists scan come too, if they bring their own couches. As for the New York ball, the door prize will be an airplane trip to New Orleans. All this is typical of the thoroughness with which the capital is tackling its duties as host. The emphasis is on imagination.

Formation Parade

TAKE the customary’ ‘motorcycle escort for Mr. Truman, It'll be in T formation instead of the usual V. The Hawai float will be escorted by “Pa-U-Riders,” 20 1s on horseback, and no wallflowers either. The flowers for the inaugural ball will be orchids flown from Honolulu and gardenias flown from ‘Mexico City. There are. a few corrections, . President’ Truman will not lead the parade—He’ll be a couple of sedans and several four-star generals back. Forty thousand persons will be in the parade, which will be seven miles long and will take about two and a half hours. There'll be floats

from 25 states—some of ‘em Republican after .

all—four cities, all the island

possessions and various civic outfits, . :

There are no more $10 parade seats left and only a few $3 and $4 ones, some of which the speculators have grabbed. One hotel still has a few $12 seats in its windows. You can't bring your own chair or orange crate. The Supreme Court will work for an hour or so on Inauguration day, but just so it can say afterwards that it did. Gov. Thomas E. Dewey won't come, but Gov. J. Strom Thurmond will, . :

No Curbs on Music

YOU CAN listen to all the inaugural music on your radio or television set and nobody will get arrested. The American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers and Broadcast Music, Inc, say it's okay. this ‘time, , seeing. as we're inaugurating a President. But the district ners weren't so broadminded—they turned thumbs down on the saloonkeepers who came hat In hand and asked how about staying open a le of extra hours, until 4 a. m,, during the Dancing, it was officially announced, is not compulsory at the inaugural ball Jan. 20. But the $10 per ticket is. For this you get three orchestras playing on a re¥olving' stage, walls of royal blue flameproof fabric and a chance to look up at the President enthroned in a chrome armchair with blue leather upholstery in his blue-car-peted presidential box. The President gets governors and other b each for their boxes.

Acheson’s Inning

By Frederick C. Othman

WASHINGTON, Jan. 14—Dean Acheson was

billed as the first Secretary of State appointed. in the last 100 years to be quizzed as to his abilities by the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. So the vast caucus room- was jammed: Only room was on somebody else's toes. Spent flash bulbs thudded gently to the red carpet until they covered it like snow in a California orange grove. Movie cameras whirred. One of them squeaked. Spotlights glared down from the crystal chandeliers.

The center of all this attention, of course, was the tall, slim Mr. Acheson, nervous at first in the hot seat, but at his ease later when Senator after Senator, Republican and Democrat alike, gave him a figurative pat on his gray-clad back, They seemed to like the way his suit didn’t fit as well as it might; the way his blue leatherette ‘eyeglass case bulged from his vest pocket. There was nothing pretty about him. He didn't look lke the movies’ idea of a diplomat and this obviously was an advantage. His blue eyes were almost hidden under brows that jutted like John N. Garner's, but were the color of cinnamon. His mustache of the same shade curled up at fhe ends. I thodght at first it was waxed, but a closer look indicated his barber merely had done a careful trimming job.

Pulls No Double-Talk

HIS HEAD, in startling contrast to the reddish eyebrows, was black and graying around the temples. His voice was deep, his teeth irregulan, and his smile pleasant. He pulled no double-talk. But the questions were complicated; so were his answers, With apologies to all concerned; I'll try to give you an idea in plain, old-fashioned English what he had

. to say.” .

He said ne never had been a Communist lover and anybody who claimed it was a bum. He read

parts of numerows speeches he’d made to prove he hadn’t been iry favor of knuckling down to the Russians. , If the Senatp confirmed his appointment, he'd do his best to.sdrive from the State Department) any . subversive characters, if any were left. . He said he might as well tell the lawgivers that Alger Hiss, the m involved in the pumpkin exposes of the House Un-American Activities Committee, was his friend. So was ‘Alger’s brother, Donald. One of the troubles with being in and out of the government, as has beén Mr. Acheson, is that he’s got tb Jean over backward not to take personal adwantage of his position.

Everybody Feels Better

MR. ACHESON said that, as a lawyer, kis one hope of] keeping his hands clean in fancy as well as in facts was to handle only lawsuits in court. Then everything he said and did was a matter of recortl. While he was working for the State and Departments during the New Deal, he said he cut all connection with his law firm. His name stayed on the door, but he had nothing to do with it. He squinted at a pile of documents and read for the Senators the names of the firms and the foreign governments for which his legal associates had worked, while he was Undersecretary of State. He also listed the fees they ‘were paid. He got none of this cash. None of their cases, in fact, involved the State Department, except for one loan to the Poles, which he held up until he was sure Poland would keep its end of .the bargain. Such frankness to the Senators, obviously, was refreshing. The hearings, for that matter, gave Mr. Acheson a chance to get a number of things off his chest. Everybody seemed to feel better when the proceedings were finished. Mr. Acheson's in. And the Senate, for the moment at least, is behind him.

Woman Fleeced 0f $2000 by Cons

Puts Up Savings For Split in $6000

JPolice were searching today for two confidence women who fleeced their victim yesterday of $2000, employing one of the old tricks of the trade. Mrs. Ethel Baker, 4601 W, Naomi St., reported to police that she was approached by two women while shopping in a downtown store. One of them told Mri Baker that she had found $6000 and would agree to divide the money among the three if Mrs. Baker would put up some money as an. expression of confidence, Mrs. Baker said she took one of the women to her home and there picked up approximately $2000 which she had saved. They then went to the basement of the Bus Terminal where Mrs. Baker gave the money to the confidence pair with the agreement that the $6000 would be divided equally at 4:30 p. m. In the Illinois Building, at which time Mrs. Baker was also to receive back her $2000 “trust” deposit. The end of the story was recorded today on the pelice blotter in the laconic words: “The women failed to retmrn.”
