Tippling Parrot Passes At Ripe Age of 48
MELBOURNE, Australia (UP) Blind and cocky Cocky Parsons, a pet cockatoo, has died at the age of 48. Cocky, who lived in a hotel bar near Melbourne, used to tackle anything in drinks from beer to champagne. As he grew older he preferred port. He drank from a liquer glass which he held in his right claw. While never reported under the influence, Cocky would burst sud- denly into colorful epithets when the drink began to warm him.
Gables Pact Has Too Long To Run, Says Bell Official
(Continued from Page One) startled in police, fire and other municipal departments in Miami and Miami Beach. "Actually it might prove ad- vantageous for the Gables to wait until it has increased more in population before negotiating a new franchise, because more phones would be in service then, he stated. 15,000 Phones in Service Tucker said that he did not have figures immediately avail- able as to how much a one per- cent levy on local gross receipts would bring the City of Coral Ga- bles, but said that it would not be nearly so much as the amount de- rived by Miami Beach. He said that over 15,000 tele- phones are now in service in the 4, 48 and 83 exchanges, but that all of these are not within the city limits of Coral Gables. Mellwain said yesterday in his letter to Tucker that "there is no reason why other cities in this area should have any advantages that are not available to this city." The franchise expires in 1956.

Truman Budget of 40-Billion In Hopper at White House
WASHINGTON, Dec. 30. (UP)-President Truman's fiscal experts were putting finishing touches today to his new Federal budget. Indications are that it will call for an outlay of close to $40,000,000,000 in the fiscal year starting July 1. Mr. Truman will send his new budget to Congress Jan. 8. An outlay of $40,000,000,000 would about match the actual outgo for the current fiscal year, which ends June 30. Spending this year will probably reach $39,500,000,000, some $2,500,000,000 above the President's August revised estimate of $37,000,000,000. Fiscal experts base this on the assumption that Congress will pass the Marshall Plan by April 1. The administration expects to spend $1,500,000,000 be- fore July 1 on the Marshall Plan. On top of this stop-gap aid occupation costs will require another $1,000,000,000 before July 1, accounting for the $2,500,000,000 boost over the President's August estimate.
Truman Signs Duplicate Of Missing Price Bill
WASHINGTON, Dec. 30. (UP)-President Truman today signed a duplicate copy of the missing Republican anti-infla- tion bill. Lest there be another mysterious disappearance, the dupli- cate was signed at 9:15 a.m. (EST), as the first order of business for the President. The original disappeared from the desk of Clark M. Clif- ford, Counsel to the President, sometime between late Sunday afternoon and Monday morning when the President had plan- ned to sign it. A duplicate was drawn up yesterday, signed here by Senate President Arthur H. Vandenberg, (Rep., Mich.), and flown during the night by a special Army plane to House Speaker Joseph W. Martin, Jr., at Dedham, Mass., for signature.
Desperate Greek Army Wars To Break Siege by Reds
ATHENS, Dec. 30. (UP)-The Greek Army threw all its available resources today into an effort to relieve Konitsa, key base of Epirus under fierce siege by 3,000 guerrillas command- ed by Gen. Markos Vafthiados. Konitsa was cut off completely by the guerrilla siege. Its garrison sent urgent appeals for reinforcements. Radio reports said two government battalions still were keeping the Greek flag flying over the town's main buildings.
Club Members Plan Gay Parties
(Continued from Page Five) Eve celebrants, many of whom will start the evening at dinner parties. Mr. and Mrs. H. G. Tuckerman have made dinner reservations for a party of twenty-two, while the George R. Walkers will head a table of twenty-one fellow mem- bers and guests. Captain and Mrs. G. T. Munoz will be hosts to twelve dinner guests and sixteen friends will join the William S. Lanier table on the Club dining terrace. Other New Year's Eve diners will be J. W. Moerkle who will play host to twelve; Mr. and Mrs. Herbert Root who have made reservations for eight, and Harvey A. Gardner, host to a party of ten. Members who with their ladies will head large tables for dancing in the palm-fringed patio include Commander Allen Winbeck, E. C. Fogg, Jr., Robert DeWeese, Hunter Turner, Richard A. Marshall, Er- nest Robinson and John H. Lips- comb.
Nation's Press Comments On Wallace Candidacy
By UNITED PRESS Editorial comment on Henry Wallace's announcement that he will run for president in 1948: New York Times-It is easy to see why Mr. Wallace's position in these matters (relations with Rus- sia, peace treaty desires, Truman Doctrine, Marshall Plan) delight the Communists. It is more diffi- cult to see how it can reassure any thoughtful American who remem- bers the circumstances and the consequences of Mr. Chamberlain's visit to Munich in September, 1938. New York Herald Tribune-We think it is likely that he will cut into all parties to an extent and that Mr. Wallace will not be the potent figure he considers himself. New York Daily Mirror-Such a candidacy cannot help produce victory in 1948, except that the Republicans have a crack which may develop into a crevasse. The crack is over . . . The Marshall Plan. The Daily Worker-Wallace, of course, is not a Communist . . . but Communists, who believe in Socialism, for a hundred years have always been ready to cooper- ate sincerely with every forward- looking social movement. Ameri- can Communists backed the non- Communist Abraham Lincoln . . . They backed the non-Communist Roosevelt . . . They are an inte- gral part of the new people's movement to carry forward the anti-monopoly fight begun by Franklin Roosevelt . . . Wallace's candidacy, and the platform on which he makes his fight, sound the call for a national fight for peace . . . Scripps Howard Newspapers- One good thing should come from his candidacy. When all of the popular votes are counted (he won't get any electoral votes), Moscow's politburo can strike a total and learn the maximum ex- tent of Soviet tolerance in this country. Maybe thereafter the Russians will try harder to under- stand Americans. Nashville Tennessean-Henry Wallace as a potential third party candidate might have had a minor liberalizing influence on the Demo- cratic platform for 1948. Henry Wallace as an announced candidate has lost his mysterious charm. He is now very small potatoes . . . New Orleans Item-All this while the quaint notion that Henry Wallace carried great political weight had never actually been put to the test. Now, thanks to his unreserved acceptance of himself as sole hope of the nation, it will be possible to determine whether the weapon he has been brandish- ing is a bludgeon or a bladder. Raleigh News and Observer- The liberals of this country have too much at stake in the next four years to be willing to cast a pro- test vote that might be in effect a vote for a Republican president . . . He has forfeited any influence he might have had in the Demo- cratic convention . . . (and) made more probable the nomination of a reactionary of reactionaries as the Republican candidate. Montgomery Advertiser-"xxx during the last two weeks he (Henry Wallace) has lost support- ers in droves. It seems that the only solid core of strength behind him now is the Communist party and a few of the more fuzzy mind- ed of the lunatic liberals. Those are the elements which have serv- ed only to embarrass the Demo- cratic party while they stayed within the ranks. Wallace now takes them out with him. Good riddance!"
Honor Group to Hold Reunion Tonight
Approximately 70 members of the National Honor Society of Mi- ami Senior High School will hold its tenth annual reunion at the home of Don Holcomb, 3009 Al- hambra Circle, at 7 p.m. tonight. A covered dish supper will start the festivities. Miss Isabelle Long- man, Miss Verma Kimler and Horace Richey are teacher spon- sors. Don, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Lyle Don Holcomb, is a freshman at the University of Michigan, where he is a member of Beta Theta Pi fraternity.
Added Police Asked to Fight Crime Wave
(Continued from Page One) to supply men, as one reason for the short-handedness of the de- partment. For instance, said Kim- brough, right now one officer is detailed every afternoon to the football field, where the Univer- sity of Kansas holds its secret practices, Then, two men are sent to escort the University of Miami football team to the Orange Bowl and back every time they play in town. Handle Show Crowds And tonight, said Kimbrough, he'll send two men to the Venetian Pool to handle the crowds at the water show. The safety director feels that such constant demands on his personnel, which are not strictly required of a police depart- ment, have often resulted in his force being short of men. Such requests for policemen, in addition to the regular calls for school details, have resulted in Kimbrough's having to call on Capt. John H. Hardin, head of the Fire Department, to direct morn- ing traffic at the Coral Way-Sal- zedo intersection. Kimbrough's present 32 officers are split into four detectives, two on car-licence details details, four desk men and one officer for the juvenile bureau. That leaves 21 men for patrol work around the clock. The police head said two men are now detail- ed to check all doors in the down- town business section during the night. Kimbrough would like an- other three men for this duty, at least during the winter months.
13 Merchants To Welcome 1st '48 Baby
(Continued from Page One) ice to a bottle of champagne for the proud parents of the first tiny arrival of 1948. Will the newcomer will be Number One"? The firms are making sure that the little newcomer will be well supplied with all the things a new baby needs. In addition, the Riviera-Times is offering a crisp ten-dollar bill to the first person who notifies the society editor of the baby's arrival.

Says Camera Is Ahead Of Aircraft Program
DAYTON, O. (UP) - Aerial photography is far ahead of air- plane development, according to A. H. Katz, photography chief at Wright Field photographic labora- tory. Katz says there are cameras ready to take good pictures even if planes could travel 1,000 miles an hour now. New cameras are so powerful, he says, that a soldier's poker game on the ground was photo- graphed recently from a plane and the values of the cards could be determined. Katz says aerial reconnaissance photography produced 80 per cent of the information learned about the enemy's ground forces and installations in the last war. This helped to cut down casualties, he added.
