Sen. Vandenberg
Reported As Worse
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich., March
13. <UP»—The man who has done
the most to get Republicans and
Democrats to agree oh foreign
policy is weakening in his two-
year fight to overcome a lung
ailment.
Senator Arthur Vandenberg
suffered a relapse two weeks ago.
Since then, his doctor has report-
ed no improvement, and nurses
have been keeping a 24-hour
vigil at the veteran Republican’s
home in Grand Rapids, Mich. To-
day, the senator’s son reports
Vandenberg’s condition is "get-
ting worse.”
The Greenvine Home Demon-
stration CTub women will observe
“Rural Mailbox Improvement
Week” in their community this
year by putting name plates on
all the mail boxes and encourag-
ing all patrons of rural delivery
service in the county to provide
iultablc mail receptacles. In ad-
dition, the club women will A^ct
name plates in such manner that
they will be readily accessible to
the carrier and present a neat
appearance.
The first week in May has been
designated by the Post Office
Dept, as “Rural Mailbox im-
provement Week”.
The club women held a cross-
roads meeting with Mr. Boone,
the rural mail carrier for the
Gseenvine vicinity to find out
just what should and could be
done to Improve their mail serv-
ice.
Mr. Boone, who delivers the
Greenvine mail said the Post
Office Department considers the
plain standard type of rural
mail boxes best because the ac-
cent throughout the nation in se-
lecting and maintaining rural
boxes rests on neatness, service-
ability, and uniformity. He said
that as receptacles tor the Unit-
ed States mail, rural mailboxes
should conform to the standards
of dignity and beauty approved
by the department in Washing-
ton, D. C„ so that wherever they
are seen, they represent more
than personal taste or whimsy
and stand out like sentinels up-
holding the ideals of our great
postal system.
Mr. Boone named four things
which all patrons could do in
order to receive better and quick-
er service for themselves as well
as theff neighbors:

WASHINGTON, Mar. 13. ®-E»—
A letter supposedly showing
that the late President Roosevelt
wanted to share world power
with Russia has been dismissed
by the State Department as a
“forgery”.
The letter, printed In the
United States on Sunday under a
Paris dateline, quoted the Feb-
ruary 7 issue of the rightwing
newspaper "Le Figaro.” The
newspaper had quoted “Spain
was right," a book published in
1949 by Jose Maria Doussinague,
former political director of the
Spanish foreign ministry and
now Spanish ambassador to
Chile.
State Department Spokesman
Michael McDermott says the let-
ter was “Ingeniously fashioned
from fact, half-truth, rumor and
inaccuray,”
The State Department, he says,
is convinced the letter is a for-
gery.
The letter.

president of tlte National Coun-
cil of Young Israel, outlined a

NEW YORK. March 13. (U.R)—
Senate crime investigators ques-
tioned Gambler Frank Costello
about his naturalization papers
today. It apparently was an at-
tempt to show false statements
which could make him liable for
deportation.
Republican Senator Charles
Tobey of New Hampshire said if
Costello has broken the la\^s of
this’’country and at a later “ate
applied for citizenship—"I sus-
pect he would be liable for de-
portation as an undesirable
alien.”
But they had to pull down the
i curtainFin New York just as the
. star walked onto the stage.
Costello objected to having
television cameras grinding and
Klieg lights glaring while he
told the senate Kefauver com-
mittee about- A?
lack of connection with high gov-
ernment officials.

- AUSTIN, March' 13. (I'D—A sur-
prise counter attack has sent a
bill repealing the Colson Briscoe
Rural RoAd bill back to commit-
tee. • ♦
The measure had received ap-
proval of the house committee
on state affairs In a post mid-
night session.
But today the full house, after
almost an hour of parliamentary
.1 bill
back to the committee on agri-
culture by a 74 to 62 vo|e.
Representative Dolph Briscoe
of Uvalde, co-author of the rural
road measure, launched the new
attack on the repeal measure. He
rallied support with the warn-
ing: "The time has come when
we’ll have to decide whether to
set our rural road program back
10 years.”
Representative Callan Graham
of Junction, sponsor of the repeal
measure, snapped back with an
economy line. He said—"We’re
right" down to the issue about
what this session ®nd this legis-
lature is going to do about finan-
cial matters.”
Proponents of Graham’s meas-
ure have Insisted that repeal of
the Colson Briscoe bill would
chop 30-million dollars from the
state’s estimated need for 100-
million dollars over the next
two year*.
