It had been filed more than a year ago by Sam Melson, publisher of a Jacksonville weekly newspaper. The suit was based on statements in a Tribune story about handling of race issues in Melson’s paper. Judge Tillman said the suit was not being prosecuted since Melson had taken no action in it since Aug. 13, 1951. some also wanting a birthday bo- nus of from $10 to $25.

Stylés Bridges today for vigorous Repub- | lican campaigning on international issues. Bridges, the GOP Senate leader, told reporters Democrats want Re- publicans to share responsibility for foreign policy decisions and hope to eliminate the issue from the campaign. “It is ridiculous to say that for- eign policy should be kept out of the campaign,” the New Hamp. shire senator said. “It is entwined with every important domestic is sue and the American people have a right to discuss and know what their foreign policy is.” Truman told a White House news for three weeks vacation after 10| conference Thursday he endorses years sevice. a 1951 Senate document which said Pension demands this year are ' “the conduct of American foreign wage demands play second fiddle | Ir to fringe benefits.

The fringe benefits that crop up fn the reports by the 400 compa- nies—which are made to the in- stitute by management rather than by union officials—cover a wide field. Pay for jury duty is being pressed, a majority of the compa- nies report. Where companies now pay the difference between the worker’s regular wages and his , jury pay, some of the unions are seeking full pay for time lost, above any court fees received.

Woman is a creature of duty, still hemmed in by old traditions Jespite her new freedoms. All her gambles are quiet ones. And so are most of her pleasures. I have always regarded women as wiser, more stable, and tougher- minded than men. But the physical ordeal of their lives appalls me. A man can meet a new day with a yawn, a shower, and a shave. But a woman is a lot of trouble to herself. She must struggle into the grim confines of a girdle—ex- pending as much energy as a man does in half a day’s work—and spend an hour arranging her hair and rearranging her features.

Although he rejected the brief- ing session idea, Eisenhower said he would be glad to receive weekly reports from the CIA. While he hadn’t sent an invita- tion to Eisenhower until Tuesday, Truman said the general had been informed previously by the Defense Department he could get any in- formation he wanted from that agency. However, it developed there had been a slipup. Gen. Omar N. Brad- ley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, acknowledged in a rueful statement that Truman had asked him a week ago to convey this word to Eisenhower but he had not yet done so. Bradley said he had talked it over with Secretary of Defense Robert A. Lovett and Dep- uty Secretary William C. Foster and they decided the matter could wait until Eisenhower came east later this month. “Being unfamiliar with political matters,” Bradley said, “it never occurred to me that the timing | of notification might become an issue, or I would have gotten in touch with Gen, Eisenhower im- mediately after my conversation with the President,” Referring to his talk with “the President, Bradley said: “We discussed the fact that Gen. Eisenhower recently had been on active duty and was acquainted with many of the matters involved, This indicated there was no imme- diate need to take this up with Gen. Eisenhower,” The Senate document, referred to by Truman in expressing his evident view that the Republicans can’t criticize something they helped develop, turned out to be a study made by the staff of the Foreign Relations Committee.

And as she grows older the mirror doesn’t tell her any welcome news. That, as I see it, is one of the really tough things about being a woman. The ordinary male would lose his mind if he had to look at himself in a mirror so often and so long. (Or am I just kidding myself?) It seems to me that men have much more fun and variety in life than women. Their jobs may be- ec 1e boring at times, but no ma- chine has been invented to remove the monotony of most women’s job—housework.
