Washington; No. 17.

Former President Harry S. Truman Kás once again emerged as a national figure, and his radio attack on "McCarthyism" has put an entirely different complexion on one of the most bitter political battles in the history of the United States.

Washington is seething in two camps follow- ing the Truman speech on the Harry Dexter White case and many more militant Democrats are now likely to follow the former President în coming out openly against Senator McCarthy.

Behind "Noah's Ark" In The Quarry Pit

Linz, Upper Austria, Nov. 17.

An elderly, thin woman called at the radio station here recenty with a request and left her address "Houseboat Noah's Ark, Old Quarry Pit, Linz-Lustenau.”

An enterprising local' reporter, puzzled at a boat in a quarry pit, unearthed the story of an adventurous woman, once a landed baroness and wife of a Hungarian Cabinet Minister, now living from a pension and the sale of old bottles in a rickety houseboat perched high on dry land.
