AN INDUSTRIAL ACHIEVEMENT

The award of the Navy
''E'' Flag to the plants of a COM
pany manufacturing glass fiber ma
terials (Owens-Corning Fiberglas
Corporation) spotlights an indus
trial development that has been
brought to pass within the last
dozen years.
When the first World war was
fought there was, in all the world,
no such thing as a flexible glass
that could be woven into fabrics
that could be creased and folded.
Such a glass had been dreamed of
for centuries.
Nor was it achieved until, in the
early 1930's, a group of research
workers. trying to fuse powdered
colored glass to the sides of milk
bottles with blow torch, found
that instead of sticking to the
bottles the glass piled up beside
them in a fluffy mass of fine fiex-
ible fibers.
This was the real beginning of a
truly flexible glass-fiberglas-a
glass that can be formed into a

Reports seeping out of Italy are
to the effect that Benito Mussolini
is a very sick man. The Duce is
said to be suffering from a heart
condition brought on by the Italian
military situation and internal dis
sension. There is no doubt that
the internal situation in Italy is bad
and getting steadily worse. The
Italians, never a warlike people,
had a bellyful of war before old
"Mussy" decided to take on the
world with his charming little
playmate from across the Brenner
Pass. The Germans and Italians
just don't mix, and the six hun
dred thousand Nazis now in Italy
are about as welcome as a plague.
Readers, watch Italy, for all He'll
is going to break loose there in a
short while.

The smashing, driving British
First and Eighth Armies and the
powerful American ExpeditiOnary
force are slowly but surely driving
the Huns and their Italian allies
out of North Africa. Hitler is
gambling over half of his reduced
air-force in the sky battles now
raging over Tunis; the Italian air.
force, now almost extinct, is doing
little to hold up the Allied advance
on this front. We suspect that
what is left of Mussolini's sky
fighters is being kept home in an
attempt to fight off the nightly
raids by the r. A. F. on the great
industrial cities of northern Italy.
How times have changed; it only
seems like yesterday, that Hitler
and Mussolini ganged up on the
British and bombed English cities,
night after night. Now the tables
are turned and the Italians are
getting a plastering and the Nazis
are getting plenty of bombs.

Ewing S Son Tesiifies
AT New Trial Hearinu

Lowell H. Ewing, attorney and
son of Orman w. Ewing, former
Democratic national committeeman
from Utah. today repeated before
Justice James w. Morris In District
Court testimony given before on the
family's attempts to obtain evidence
to show the fathers innocence. The
elder Ewing has been convicted of
criminal assault.
The court recessed after the law
yers testimony and the defendants
wife was to take the stand later
today.
Justice Morris heard three and
one-half hours of testimony yester-
day afternoon. witnesses included
Ewing, DR.. Edward vedder, profess
sor at George Washington Univer-
sity medical school; Miss Hester
Chamberlain, business partner of
Ewing. and Phyllis Ewing, one of his
daughters.
There has been no indication of
when the hearing will end.
John j. Laughlin, attorney for
Ewing, asked the courts permission
to withdraw from the case on the
ground that his usefulness to his
client had been impaired when
District Attorney John w. Fihelly
allegedly called the defense lawyer a
vile name in open court. This charge
f1rst was aired week ago. Mr..
Fihelly denied that he had said any,
thing abusive about his opponent.
Justice Morris said he could not
allow MIR. Laughlin to withdraw on
such a ground.

With only 299 per cent Of its
homes occupied by their owners, the
District in 1910 had a lower proper
ton of owner occupancy than any
State, the Census Bureau reported
today.
Utah and Idaho showed the nigh
est ownership proportions. with per-

303.
OF the 34,S55552 occupied dwell
ing units in the United States in
1910, l5.lee,lSS or 436 per cent were
occupied by their owners.
In Is States, the number of
ner-occupied homes exceeded the
number of tenant-occupied dwelling
units. while in the remaining 33
States and the District, the returns
revealed an excess of tenant-occu-
pied homes.
While the number of owner-occu-
pied homes increased between 1890
and 1910. the more rapid increase in
the number of tenant-occupied
homes resulted in a decline in the
home ownership percentsge from

NEW YORK, April 25.--Mrs.
Franklin D. Roosevelt says that
some "awfully clever people" are
spreading anti-labor propaganda
among the Nations armed forces
and she believes that labor and the
Americn people should check such
a move as a menace to a united
war effort.
There has been decided propa-
ganda drive against labor" she said
last night at a. Y. w. G. A. round
table discussion. 1T is not only di-
rected at the public mind--that
would be an easy matter-but it is
also being done in the armed forces.
For the sake OF our country, all
of us should do all we can to beat
that propaganda. 1t is trying to Gre
ate classes, into which, Lord knows.
we shouldn't be divided. We need
that feeling of urgency to win this
war. The sooner we get it over with
the more will come back alive
Mrs. Roosevelt said she had heard
about servicemen remarking I'VE
didn't have such and such a thing
because of a strike in a plant back
home; if we had it, some boys lives
would have been saved"
Now that isn't true,~ MRS. Roose-
velt said, but who started that
story? That's hard thing to find
out. 1t is awfully easy to propa-
gandi1e, and there are awfully
clever people doing it."
Declaring that enemies of organ
lied labor are spreading the idea
that it is not patriotic for workmen
to receive good wages while men in
the service are risking their lives
for less, the Presidents wife said it
