machine guns taking out after them.
Gunnery was Swede's first love, and
he had worked his men hard on
that because that was their best
defense. The tracers were taking
out in the right direction. The cones
or bullets were whipsawing after
them like swarms of eager bees.
Then the boss house was set up in
front of him, and he dropped on it,
and there was conclusion that
caught his plane in the tail like a
vigorously placed boot. 1t lifted the
tail up and slowed the plane around.
He fought it back to level and
looked around. The boss house was
still standing.
So Swede went back to it, and this
time dropped one right where the
chicken lays the egg, and when
he looked around there was no more
boss house to see. Then he sashayed
about a bit, looking for more work
to do, found it and did it. That's
the way all the fellows spent their
time during their visit to the Jap

Dynamite Blasts Trench
|nRiver for Pipeline

BY the Associated Press.
MARIETTA, Pa, April 17.-Dyna-
mite tore a 425-foot trench in the
bed Of the Susquehanna River today
as construction was rushed on the
845-mile Illinois-East Coast pipeline
extension.
An eight-ton charge of special
underwater explosives set off simul-
taneously in 113 holes drilled in bed
rock, sprayed half-mile area with
water and debris.
E. T. Woln, engineer in charge,
said approximately 600 25-pound
cartridges Of dynamite were placed
in the holes. About 80 tons of
dynamite will be required to blast
the entire trench.
Immediately after the blast drill
ing rigs resumed the cutting Of shot
holes along advanced sections of the
river crossing in preparation for
three additional excavating explo-
sions required to complete the 1000
foot trench.

Enough Plants and Tools
Built To Win The War

Washington, D. C. (ILNS).-War
production in the United States
reached significant level this week
with the announcement by the War
Production Board that we now have
most of the machine tools and capital
equipment needed to build production
to defeat the Axis.
A new program is being put into
effect 1t calls for re-examination of
all approved projects for construction
of new machinery and plants and
elimination of all projects no longer
needed. No purchase of new machine
tools, machinery or equipment or
erection of buildings will be author
lied until it has been conclusively
shown that the work cannot be done
by existing facilities.
This does not mean increased unem-
ployment. 1t means shifting of work
ers to other lines of production. EN-
phasis is still on building of more
ships and more planes. And here and
there new tools and new plants may
be required for new engines of war
growing out of our experience in bat
ting the Axis.

Anglo-Saxon code of laws and meth
DDS of trial.
When Mr.. Davies passes the bolo-
ney he sure passes a hunk of it!
The National Press Club in Wash
ington offered itself as sponsor for
the initial showing of Mission to
Moscow in the nations capital.
What the Press Club thought of
the perfidious epic afterwards is not
known.
But to seek to create an under
standing of Russia by presenting a
mass of distortion is doing nobody
any good.
We can understand Russia lot
better by knowing the exact truth.
Nobody is quarreling with Russian
institutions at the moment. Russia is

ever kind of institutions the Russian
people want or will stand for, just SO
long as they don't try to impose those
institutions upon US.
That's the way it has been all
along; that's the way it is; that's
the way it will be. Davies or no Da-
vies; film or no film.
That we shall have conflict with the
communists within our own country
is fairly obvious. The communists in
America fought our preparations for
war; they opposed the efforts of all
the democracies, until Russia broke
with Germany and started fighting.
We can expect from our precious COM
munists just what we have always
had from them. And they have always
taken their "line" from Moscow.
Mission to Moscow is tripe, any
way you look at it.
If you have seen the picture, then
go see Air Force and give your mind
some fresh air.
Air Force is drama of the most
arresting kind. 1t shows you Ameri-
can boys in action, fighting against
heavy odds. 1t shows your what air
power can do.
The complete annihilation of Jap
convoy is exactly what happened.
And the sight of Pearl Harbor on
that morning of treachery will give
you, too, something to remember.
And if you're gripping little about
your war job, maybe the picture will
give you fresh courage and fresh rea-
son to carry on.-CMW.

Profits up. Dividends up.
Some of it is all to the good, even
while some of it is very bad. Our
capitalistic system will never be per-

it from getting too, bad, too top
heavy, too monopolistic. We need to
keep right on pressing for fair divi-
sion of the profits of industry between
labor and capital.

NO FREEZING OF PROFITS
OR DIVIDENDS

Labor wants to prevent imitation
1t knows the dangers to the workers
standard of living when prices rise
faster than wages.
So organized labor has cooperated
willingly with the Presidents pro-
gram for stopping imitation, has ac-
cepted wage freezes and job freezes
whenever it seemed they might check
imitation or help win the war.
Some of the rules laid down by in
experienced office holders in govern
ment bureaus are too ridiculous to
merit compliance Labor does right to
try to correct those who do more harm
than good.

big business talk hypocritically about

BIDDLE is NO RIDDLE

Attorney General Francis Biddle
has not begun pussyfooting with
Communists just because we are
fighting Germany on the side of Rus
sia. He still does not like Americans
who take orders from a foreign coun-
try or from a foreign organization
intent upon the destruction of democ-
racy. He speaks his mind freely.
Biddle warned CIO Textile Workers
last week that communist infltration
into labor unions sis still problem" I"
Daily Worker (Communist) reporter
asked:
do you believe that Communist
influenced unions are not democra-
tic?"
do you think Communist policies
are democratic ?" retorted Biddle.
Remember that the FBl takes or
ders from Biddle, and that Biddle is
in a position to know something
about Communists. He also knows
about labor. He is a liberal. So the
entire country, and workers in partic-
ular, can be thankful that the man
charged with the administration of
justice knows the difference between
a Communist and an aggressive trade
unionist.

COMMENT ON WORLD EVENTS

TIME first step toward restoring
democracy to Europe is the re-
storation of free and independent
European labor movement, which was
the backbone of democracy on the
continent before the advent of Hitler.
Communism, Nazism and Fascism
are all foes of democracy. They all de-
stroyed independent unions.
But restoration of democracy does
not necessarily accompany military
occupation of Europe by the United
Nations. That must be done by the
people themselves. It's reactionary
economic monopolies are given strong
support by the militarists occupying
Europe, it is possible that workers of
Europe would be tempted to think
that only Stain can help get rid of
them.
Finland has once more paid on the
dot the interest on the $26,000,000 we
advanced her back in the winter of
1910 for purchase of food, clothing
and other civilian supplies for the
people who were opposing Russia in
what President Roosevelt called a
"wanton invasion"
On May l it scraped together
$474,0O0 and paid it over to our Ex-
port Import Bank.
But because of the pressure we are
now putting on Finland to change
sides in the war and fight Germany
instead of Russia, orders were issued
not to give out any announcement of
the fact that out of all the European
countries to whom the United States
has loaned money, Finland is the only
nation that has made an honest effort
to meet her obligations.
There was a time when we cheered
Finland, thrilled to the refrain of
"Finlandia" Even now we admit the
people of Finland are plucky. But the
fact remains that Finland is not now
fighting on the side of the United
Nations. Regardless of how hard she

We don't often talk about the
movies in this column, but, after all,
why not?
There are two pictures now running
that deserve some discussion.
One is Mission to Moscow; the other
is Air Force.
Mission to Moscow is the perversion
of history authored by Ambassador
Davies.
Air Force is largely the story of a
Bit bomber and it's crew.
Mission to Moscow leaves you won
dering how anyone can perpetrate
such hokum.
Air Force leaves you wondering
what might have happened in those
first days of the war in the Pacific if
there had been SO or. 100, instead of
one.
Mission to Moscow is supposed to
help create a better understanding of
Russia. 1t doesn't do it.
Air Force is intended to show you
what air warfare is like and what kind
of men fight in the skies. 1t does it.
Whether Mission to Moscow has
government blessing isn't known. If
it does, then our government ought to
change it's course in the propaganda
field.
Too many Americans know the
truth to make such a picture of any
value, except to breed derision.
For picture, with the build-up
back of this one, to attempt to tell
us that Russia is democratic and that
such things as the purge trials were
fair, is asking too much--much too
much.
The purge trials probably will re-
main fairly steady in history as an
example of railroading men to death
without anything that could even look
like trial to men and women whose

Paralysis Campaign

The Butler County chapter of the
National Foundation for Infantile
Paralysis Monday received $3,15460,

Checks for $3,154.60 were presented

Charles Reuthe, chairman of Butler
County activities to raise funds for
the infantile paralysis campaign in

attended by members and officers of
the chapter and the committee who
arranged the Hamilton participation
in the 1943 campaign.

Harrison Says Control
Of Prices Huge Joke

St. Louis (ILNS). While labor
heartily approved price stabilization
because it knew the dangers of infa-

between prices and wages" George M.

hood of Railway and Steamship
Clerks, told the 826 delegates to the

demand every other element of So
ciety must make an equal sacrifice

rise in the price of potatoes and 200
percent increase in cabbage prices as
evidence Of price extortion.

Rain Delays Corn Planting

Butler County farmers are three
weeks behind with their corn and bean
planting and unless the rainy spell
ends soon the situation may become
critical Gerald Huffman, County Agri-
cultural Agent said.
A heavy rain early this week, which
was general throughout the county,
delayed corn planting for at least an
other week, Huffman said.
Only few fields out of total of
$4,000 acres have been planted and
most farmers have not completed
plowing and soil preparation.
"The situation is alarming, but not
critical" Huffman said Normally we
hope to be through planting by May
25. If planting is completed by June
normal crop may be anticipated. /"

may be fighting to preserve her
democracy, and in total war we cam
not continue to give aid and comfort
to those who are not wholly on our
side.
Victory in Africa ahead of schedule
puts us nearer to final victory in Eu-
rope and in Asia. The next step is
being decided by the high command
of the United Nations meeting in
Washington. A stiff fight is ahead of
us in Germany. A bloody battle looms
in Asia Victory makes hardship,
sacrifices, loss of loved ones a little
easier to bear.
Victory stimulates our thinking on
what to do about repairing the world
after war has taken it's toll. We con-
fess we are somewhat foggy about
the solution of postwar problems. We
haven't found the answer among the
137 important government and priv
ate agencies in the United States en-
gagged in research or public education
on national scale on the problems
that face the United States when the
war ends. More than third of these
agencies are devoting major attention
to problems involving international
relations. Others are considering busi-
ness, finance, agriculture, consumer,
security, education, engineering, So
cial security, housing, racial, labor,
legal, public works, and transporta-
tion problems. The American Fedora
tion of Labor has named committee
to study postwar problems.
Winning the peace is more con-
Germ of the United States now than
ever before Let all of us give it
thought. Our solutions, no matter
how perfect, will be comprised with
those of our allies. They have some
definite ideas about the future of our
world. We cannot afford to be less
definite in our ideas if we hope to eff
feet a practical compromise.
