Gables Basks In Sunshine, Cold Weather Grips North
Coral Gables complacently basked in sunshine today as a storm which brought tornadoes to Northwest Florida and heavy rainfall to Atlantic coast states from the Carolinas northward through New England moved out to sea today. The entire northern section of the nation from the Rocky Mountains eastward shivered in below normal temperatures. At least six persons were injured seriously in the Florida tornadoes yesterday and more thousands of dollars were added to the state's storm damage total by the twisting winds which buffeted the area from Tallahassee to Pensacola. Heavy rains fell in New England and New York, with more than three inches reported at New Haven, Conn., and nearly that much at New York City. The coldest spot in the nation early today was Grand Forks, N. D., where the temperature dropped to one degree below zero; Jamestown, N. D., reported zero; Minot, N. D., one above, and Bemidji, Minn., two above. Last year, approximately 100,000 high school graduates volunteered for the Regular Army after school closed. This year, the need is equally great to prove to the world that the traditional voluntary system of America can and will - work.
Men From Mars Watch As Senators 'Consider Aid
By FREDERICK C. OTHMAN United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Nov. 12 (UP) - A couple of intense little gents, looking like men from Mars with oversized earphones, microphones attached to their chins and spyglasses with lenses sticking out two feet, focused their television widgets on America's elder statesmen. These machines resembled overgrown movie cameras; they whirred gently and blinked small red lamps like warning signals. In the back of the great caucus room, where the blue-white spotlights of 1947 were hidden in the 1896 chandeliers of French crystal, sat a local high school class getting a free lesson in applied electronics and world economics. Scene Was Appropriate The scene somehow was appropriate; electric eyes and youngsters watching the Senate Foreign Relations Committee ponder the chances of building a peaceful and prosperous new world with dollars for mortar. The committeemen, Vandenberg, Capper, White, Connally, George, Thomas, Barkley, et al., were gray of hair and lined of face. Only exception was Sen. Henry Cabot Lodge, Jr., of Mass., the baby of the group. He sat at the foot of the table. The veteran lawgivers, trying to ignore the electrical trappings which seared their eyeballs, called for questioning Secretary of State George C. Marshall and his chief assistant, Robert A. Lovett, on how much money we should spend this fiscal year abroad. Enter Marshall Marshall strode in between two cops, revealed a freshly-shorn head when he doffed his rain-spattered hat, and sat directly in front of his inquisitors. At his left was the completely bald Lovett, looking like the diplomat of fable in a dark suit, blue shirt and hard-boiled white collar. There was one other odd thing about the scenery: Behind the head men, on ice cream parlor chairs snitched from the press tables squatted in respectful silence 18 bright young men from the State Department, each with an overstuffed briefcase. Many of these young 'uns puffed brier pipes, as the ambassadors do in the men's fashion magazines. They didn't utter a peep. Chairman Arthur Vandenberg, white-thatched, pink-cheeked and jaunty in a blue-bow tie, turned the glisten of his spectacles upon Messrs. Marshall and Lovett. He said the question wasn't the billions they wanted spent in Europe over the next 10 years, but how much cash did they expect from Congress between now and next July? Well sir, said Marshall, that was a hard one to answer. He counted off on his fingers: $597,000,000 for Europe, $500,000,000 for the army in Germany and Japan, $60,000,000-maybe-for China, and a few millions here and a few there. "Anything for Latin America?" demanded Vandenberg. "No necessity for that," replied Marshall. Total Announced All this time Vandenberg was scribbling down the figures, using a 5-cent plastic pencil the senate stationery store sells the employ-ees for 15 cents. The whole works added up, he said, to $1,300,000. "I'd say that was quite modest." "More than that," agreed Marshall. The gentleman from Michigan smiled. He apologized. Like many another man without an adding machine he'd gotten tangled in the naughts. One of the millions on his scratch pad should have been billions. "Something better than $2,500,000,000," said Lovett, "is about right." So be it, Marshall left in a few minutes; Lovett answered questions on the details. The high school class looked hopeful and the men from Mars fiddled earnestly with their dials.
League Plans To Discuss Cities' Problems
NASHVILLE, Tenn., Nov. 12. (UP)-Problems of city and state governments will receive a thorough going over for three days here beginning today, when the national Municipal League begins its annual convention. The meeting was to open shortly after noon today on the topic of "Modernizing State Government," and was to close Friday with a discussion of means of "How to Get Money" to finance cities properly. Speakers during the three-day meeting were to include former Gov. Charles Edison, New Jersey, today and tomorrow; Gordon R. Clapp, board chairman of the Tennessee Valley Authority, tonight; U. S. Rep. Estes Kefauver, D., Tenn., tomorrow; Wilson W. Wyatt, former Louisville mayor and national housing expeditor, Thursday; Dr. George H. Gallup, nationally-known public poll director, Thursday, and Harry W. Schacter, Louisville, Ky., Friday. Edison is president of the association.
NICE PRESENT
Miss Trew Simpson, daughter of Captain Roger Simpson, USN, says the nicest birthday present she ever received was on her 21st birthday, when her father's destroyer division sank a Japanese cruiser and three destroyers in the Vella Lavella action. On her sister Mary's birthday, he again distinguished himself in action.
Gambler | Man Bets He'll Die Then Pays Off
BOSTON, Nov. 12. (UP)-Ten years ago a doctor told Allan Sharpe of Boston he was suffering from heart disease and needed a rest. But Sharpe couldn't manage to take a rest. He said he would go on working until he reached retirement age. "Of course, I'll never live that long," he said. "I'd have to live until I was 65 to retire and I'll never make it. I'll bet you $10 I'm dead before I'm 65." "I have a hunch you'll be all right," the doctor said. "I'll take that bet." Sharpe was 65 yesterday and he retired from the Boston Edison Co. "First thing I am going to do is mail the doctor the $10," he told his wife. "I'm going right out and do it now." On the way downtown, he dropped into the neighborhood drug store to see his old friend, Christopher Cirullo. "This is my 65th birthday and I'm still alive," he explained happily. "The doctor won. I'm on my way to pay the bet."
First Broadcast By 'U' Studio Set For Monday
Forty University of Miami students will make the first broadcast from the recently completed radio studio on the university's north campus next Monday evening at 6:15 over radio station WBAY. The university believes this arrangement, which begins a regular schedule of WBAY broadcasts, will mark a new departure and a long step forward in the school's radio activities. By broadcasting direct from the campus, more students and faculty members will be able to take part and the experience of operating their own studio will give the students valuable practical radio experience. This development is part of the university's expansion of radio activities which was begun this fall with the founding of a separate Department of Radio with Professor Sydney W. Head as program director. Heading the list of shows to come from the campus is "The Magic Carpet," a dramatized children's program heard each Monday at 6:15 p. m. Other programs include debates on matters of public interest, football programs, musical shows and news of the campus.
Gableites Dine
Diners-out last evening included the Elliott Mackles, who entertained Mrs. Mackle's sister, Mr. and Mrs. Lyle Roberts, Mr. and Mrs. John Mandeville, and Mr. and Mrs. Grant Stockdale. All were dinner guests at Fox's restaurant, South Miami.

Vishinsky Sees Hitler 'Imitators' Pushing 'Crazy Idea' to Destroy Russia
NEW YORK, Nov. 12. (UP)-Soviet Deputy Foreign Minister Andrei Vishinsky, in a thinly veiled attack upon President Truman last night, charged the "Imitators" of Hitler with "Propagandizing the same crazy ideas" to destroy Russia as the former Nazi leader did. In an address to the 30th anniversary dinner of the foreign press association at the hotel Waldorf-Astoria, Vishinsky cited as an example of this propaganda "A statement by one of the most prominent American statesmen published in the New York Times of June 24, 1941," which said: "If we see that Germany is winning, we ought to help Russia and if Russia is winning, we ought to help Germany and that way let them kill as many as possible..." That statement, newspaper files disclosed, was made by Mr. Truman, then Senator from Missouri, two days after Germany attacked Russia. Vishinsky did not mention the president's name, nor did he finish the quotation which ended, "... although I don't want to see Hitler victorious under any circumstances. Neither of them think of their pledged word." Of Mr. Truman's statement Vishinsky said: "It cannot be denied that this program... advocated by prominent American statesmen - also has stability and consistency... insofar as hatred and vicious animus toward the Soviet Union are concerned. "We know of the plans that Hitler and the Hitlerites made to destroy Russia so that she might never rise again. Today, their imitators, all those maniacs traumatized by war psychosis, are doing their utmost to keep pace with Hitler. They are propagandizing the same crazy ideas and brooding over the same crazy schemes upon which Hitler stumbled as badly as he did." Warren Austin, permanent United States delegate to the United Nations, also spoke at the dinner, as did delegates of all the Five Great Powers and Oswaldo Aranha, of Brazil, president of the UN General Assembly. Austin derided a statement last week by Soviet Foreign Minister V. M. Molotov that the "secret" of the atom bomb was a thing of the past. The Association presented an award for the most outstanding contribution to International understanding during the year to Prof. Albert Einstein for his "valiant efforts to make the world nations understand the need of outlawing atomic energy as a means of war."
Granada Slates Benefit Tonight
Friends of the late George Broderick, as well as many who had enjoyed the famous comedian's work through the years, will gather at the Club Granada tonight where a benefit will be held to aid Broderick's widow and two sons. Mike Peyton, a close associate of the comedian for many years will be emcee tonight. Ralph Senterfit, owner of the Granada club, where the comedian was working when he died, will match the proceeds of the benefit from his own pocket to aid the stricken widow. The show tonight will spotlight almost every entertainer now in the Miami area and will run from 8 p.m. until 5 p.m. Friday.
All members of the ruminant or cud chewing family, such as camels, goats, deers, giraffes and cattle invariably rise hind parts first; other four-footed animals get up front legs first.
