State's Office of International Information and Cultural Affairs had asked for $31 million. It got nothing. Unless the Senate showed mercy and intervened, the much criticized Voice of America radio programs and other OIC projects were due to die. OIC had been given a thorough examination by Nebraska's hardheaded, hard-working Karl Stefan, chairman of a House appropriations subcommittee. He concluded that it was extravagantly operated, overstaffed with aliens, and-worst of all-pretty ineffective. Secretary Marshall disagreed.

St. Peter, St. John and St. Joseph are all due to come before the denazifying Spruchkammer at Garmisch-Partenkirchen within the next few weeks. Bearded, cherubic Hubert (St. Peter) Mayr, who runs the village creamery, joined the party in 1937, and now says: "Why not? It cost me one mark, 50 pfennig-which I could afford. If I didn't join, they'd have...
