At the same time Truman ac- ‘epted resignations from Secretary of the Treasury Snyder, Secretary of Agriculture Brannan, Secretary of Labor Tobin, Secretary of the Interior Chapman, Atty. Gen. Mc- Granery and Postmaster General Donaldson, In separate letters he lauded them for “dependable advice and @ssistance,” for “energy and wis- om” and for unselfish and loyal support: Saturday’s action cleared the Something Need Cabinet decks for the incoming Eisenhower administration, since Truman already had accepted re- signations from Secretary of De- fense Lovett and Secretary of Commerce Sawyer.

Pure Predicted Fireworks Fizzle |Crystal. Balls In Washington Sell Cheaply Pretty Easy To Tell Amateur Crystal Gazer: When He Goes Shopping By ROBERT €. GEIGER WASHINGTON @—You can buy a crystal ball in Washington fairly cheap just now. “It’s slightly related to the polit- ical situation,’ the change from Democrats. to- Republicans,” says Al Cohen, manager of ‘Al’s Magic Shop. Despite soaring qwholesale crystal prices, Al is holding the line on retail. prices, even trimming them a bit. “Business was good under the Democrats,” he explains. “I want to keep it that way. I figure it’s a good idea to let the Republicans know, right: off the bat, that Al’s shop sells crystal balls reasonably. |When they get around to buying |them they’ll know where to come.” | Al has two models on sale, One, about eight inches around, sells for $5.96. The other is about 3% inches around and is $7.50. The small one pure crystal, Al says. The other is blown glass, hollow like a Christmas tree orna- ment, and silvered onthe inside. “It’s pretty easy to. tell an amateur crystal gazer from a pro- fessional gazer when they’re shopping for. a crystal ball,” Al says. “Amateurs go for the large, shiny one. The professionals want this smaller one of real crystal. “The trouble is that there ap- parently aren’t any expert makers of real crystal balls in the United States, at least none that I know about. “When the Iron Curtain eame down around Czechoslovakia it dried up the supply of good crystal balls in free nations. Maybe they now need all they can manufac- ture behind the Iron Curtain to keep up with the demand at home. At any rate I’ve only got one left. Before I got the last shipment the price had gone up from $3.50 to $7.50. When this one is gone I don’t know where I'll get more. “This large, shiny, hollow ball is American-made, but the profes- sionals don’t like it.” Crystal gazers say everything depends upon the quality of the ball. The other day a woman re- turned one of the blown glass balls to Al and complained that it con- tained depressing ghosts and images. She insisted upon ex- changing it for one that had been packaged tightly, never exposed to the light of day, and never had a price tag written upon or attached to it. “A professional gazer had told her that if a crystal ball has been exposed to daylight and the images of many people things always turn out bad. “Then she confided that she plays the numbers game and gazed in crystal balls for visions of num- bers to put money on. “The numbers she saw in this ball seemed to be sliihtly confused with ghost numbers in the back- ground. She thought the ball must have had a price tag on it and that the numbers on the tag had Out In Russell- Monroe Deal By GENE HANDSAKER (For Bob Thomas HOLLYWOOD Predictions of fireworks when Jane Russell and Marilyn Monroe squared off to act in the same picture have fizzled. Jane even has become Marilyn’s sisterly adviser in matters of love. Marilyn didn’t seek Jane’s coun- sel. Miss Russell says she volun- teered to Miss Monroe the view that it’s a good idea for an actress to marry a man in another field, like sports. Jane is married to retired foot- ball star Bob Waterfield Marilyn says she and retired baseball star Joe Dimaggio are “good friends.” Jane’s reasoning goes like this: “It’s great to have somebody like that to go home to. If you have blown-up ideas about your- self, he talks you out of them in a hurry. If you sound unhappy with your job, he tells you to. quit, “Joe and Robert’—Jane. calls her husband Robert—“are sensible moneywise. Marilyn isr’t, and I’ve never been. That’s another opposite quality, which is great. Then you have a whole.” Jane said she and her“husband “have a healthy disregard for each other’s profession, When we do something in common, that’s when the beefs start. This way everybody minds his own business.” The forecasts of jealous rivalry between glamor champs Monroe and Russell were perhaps reason- able.. Scene stealing and all that. A Paramount producer told Jane when she set out for 20th Century- Fox and “Gentlemen. Prefer , Blondes”: “Shake hands with Mar- jilyn, flip @ coin to see who'll make the first catty crack, then let the fur fly. Jane says some gossip-lovers have urged her, “Please, couldn’t you and Marilyn have just a small beef? And let me be: the first to hear about it?” But after two months’ work on the picture, Jane calls Marilyn ‘‘a real nice, sweet kid. She works a lot harder than I do.” As for scene- stealing: ‘In all the years I’ve been in pictures, I have not run into that.” Marilyn expresses equal esteem for Jane and calls her “a good actress in the kind of. thing she likes to do.” Miss Monroe prefers more serious vehicles for herself. RESTAURANT RETURNS ITO 1932 PRICES TAOS, N. M. (#—One_ T-bone steak with the works: 89 cents. That'll be the price of a steak in a Taos restaurant tomorrow—in- auguration day—but only that day. Mike Spivey, restaurant owner, decided to salute incoming Presi- dent Eisenhower by rolling prices back to the Jan. 20, 1932, level. So the $2.75 steak goes for 89 cents. Hamburgers and chile will cost a dime and a chicken-fried steak 59 cents. The juke box in the restaurant will greet patrons with: “Happy Days Are Here Again.” been transmitted to the ball im ghostly form, “I readily exchanged it. After all, I want cheerful images and clear-cut, truthful digits to appear on the crystals we sell.” ANYTHING CONCERNING AUTOMOBILES SEF TWINS 1130 Duval St. THE Whirl of Dimes "EARLY BIRD’ BUYS THRU WED.
