THOMAS AND HOPES, THIS TIME

For the fifth time, old friend, Norman Thomas, is to be the
Socialist candidate for President. His running mate is Darlington
Hopes, who, is a member of the Pennsylvania Legislature, made many
a good fight. t.-F .\
Thomas and Hopes will not get any electoral votes, but they may
be relied on to stimulate public thinking, and that's something worth
while, particularly in wartime.
For example, MI. Hopes in his speech of acceptance said: "Never
again will abe-bodied men be content to sell apples on the street cor
ners. If we plan and produce for use, as We have for war, the common
good, not profit for a few, must be the main spring.
1--WE have proven that it can be done. We've done it. We're doing it.
If this war teaches us that, our boys have not died in van.
Talk like that may prod the candidates of the old parties to sub
sttute something concrete for their usual NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..

Questionable Motives

From Brother w. Robert Murray, of Providence, Fl. l., comes a
cartoon which was published in the Providence Bulletin. 1t is one
of the "Lifes Darkest Moments" series by the we1l-known cartoonist
Webster, and it appeared simultaneously in newspapers all over the
country.
This cartoon shows IN officer calling down a private for shooting
too many Japs. This is beittlng your fellow marines and it's got
to STOP the officer is adnonSking the private. You know what hap
pened to those two men in the Ford plant? They were discharged by the
union for doing too much work. Just keep that in mind when you're
feeling ambitious" #~g
Brother Murray comments: eve union people in New England do
not like to Sc such slurs a this" Union people everywhere will agree
with him The cartoon is all the more unfair because it is 81 untrue
The nation needs to question the loyalty of the union workers in the Ford
plant and elsewhere far less than it does the motives of a cartoonst
whose sole object seems to be to stir up trouble and create dsunity. =

turing Co. of Texas, its former
president, William J. Gourley, and
former 1t. Col, August ]. Cayouette
of charge of conspiracy to defraud
the Government in connection with
arrangements for the manufacture
of munitions and ordnance mate
rials.
Judge Marion S. Boyd of Ten
nessee, who has been presiding as
a justice in District Court, had de-
MED a defense motion for a di-
rected verdict, which was sought
on the claim the Government had
failed to prove the charge. After
the refusal, Defense Attorney
William E. Leahy announced the
defense would stand on the mo-
tion and was ready to argue the
case.
Accordingly. without placing a
single defense witness on the stand.
Mr.. Leahy addressed the jury for
approximately four hours. No
other defense attorneys spoke.
Mr.. Leahy contended checks
which had been received by Col.
Cayouette, while the officer was
connected with the Office of the
Chief of Ordnance here, were either
In payment for engineering serv-
ices or were loans.
The case consumed II trial DAYS
and large part of the time was
given over to Identification of MANY
records and documents introduced
by the Government.

In Crash That Killed Three

Edwin T. Adams, 1900 block OF

travelling in the middle of the road
He added that as the two vehicles
approached each other, the cab
swerved to the right of the truck,
forcing him to- turn to his left to
avoid striking the cab head on. De-
spite his efforts, he said, the vehicles
sideswiped.
Mr.. Adams claimed that the truck
suddenly swerved in front of him,
causing him to turn to the left, side
swiping the truck.
Both drivers had been charged
with manslaughter, but were ac-
quilted. Mr.. Adams also was found
not guilty of a charge Of failing to

to defend the FEC against the many
charges preferred against it.
Critics of the FEC also have
charge that the agency neglected to
and otherwise make sure
of the loyalty OF radio operators,
and that the files of the commits
sion were denied to the FBI.
The FEC, answering this charge
previously, contended the FBI was
at liberty at all times to examine
its files, though it did not want them
removed to the Justice Department.
The FBI now has taken over COM
plete supervision of determining the
loyalty of ship radio operators.
Some members OF Congress have
complained that too many draft de-
ferments were requested by the FEC.
The Reuters (British) News Agen-
cy, according to an Associated Press
dispatch from New York, yesterday
issued statement denying Mr.. Tly's
assertion before the committee that
it enjoyed especially low rates from
British Empire filing points in COM
petition with American news Serv-
ices. Reuters asserted that press
rates within the Commonwealth
were the same for American and
British agencies, and that it paid the
same rate-somewhat higher-for
messages from British points to the
United States as did American or
ganizations.

for business firms to begin jockeying
for competitive postwar position, Mr..
Nelson declared at last nights
meeting of industrialists, adver-
tising and radio executives and
publishers, who were brought to
Washington by the Office of War
Information and the War Advertis-

Stresses War Needs.
'The Nation cannot afford to
have the minds which run Amer
ican business swing away from ur-
gent war problems to postwar mar
kets any more than it can afford to
have workers leave war jobs in
order to look for jobs in the civilian
economy, the WPB chief said, add
ing:
ut is only fear about the attitude
of Government that would make
business seek premature return
to civilian production at the risk of
the national war effort. It is only
unwarranred fear Of the attitude of
and Government that
would make labor become unduly
agitated over (war production cut
backs"
Mr.. Nelson said such fears are
not justified because intelligent
planning for peace has made the
country better prepared than ever
before in its history to anticipate
the problems that lie ahead and to
overcome them by wise action"
The one-day session OF business
leaders and Government officials
was not open to the public. A fear
of some officials that a recent
"deluge" of advertising of civilian
articles which are now out of pro-
duction would lead to a letdown in
the war effort was the principal
reason the industry executives were
brought here for q Closeup picture
Of the war"
Meanwhile, 1t was understood Mr..
Nelson soon will announce selection
Of committee, headed by Charles
E. Wilson, WPB executive vice
which will fix policy for
industry reconversion. The COM
mittee will closely parallel in repre-
sentation and functions the Pro-
duction Executive Committee, which
Mr.. Wilson also heads. AS revealed
recently by The Star, this will en-
able the same group of officials to
control cutbacks In the war program
and the resumption of civilian pro-
duction. Army and Navy officials
will be heavily represented.

ut is my hope that the effective
ness and scope of the Lease-Lend
Act will not be cut down or re-

Diverging from the lease-lend
topic, Admiral Land unfolded these
postwar views:
The merchant marine should be a
Navy reserve unit, and as many
ships as possible should be used In
expanded foreign trade. What is
left should be stored.
Before the wsr, Italy carried so
per cent of its exports in its own
ships, Germany 10 per cent and ia
pan 80 per cent, ar henceforth, "as
far as I'm concerned, they shouldn' t
carry any"
There is some doubt that there
will be a great overabundance of
shipping. There were 74,OO0 900
lightweight tons of shipping in the
world in 1899 and exactly the same
amount at the start of this year
sinkings had neutralized construc-
tion.

CLOTHING DRIVE IS SPONSORED BY
 SONS OF NORWAY

A drive is now being sponsored by the Sons of Norway for wear ing apparel to be sent to the des- titute Norwegians, who, according to latest reports, are almost com pletely without shoes and warm clothing with which to face the coming winter months.
 Drives are being spons ore d throughout the States and Alaska by local organizations working for American Relief for Norway, In- corporated, which is a member agency of the National War Fund Association.
 Assurances have been given that none of the articles donated will reach the Nazis. The shipments will be handled by committee in Stockholm, working in conjunction with similar committee in Nor way, which will distribute the gar ments where most needed.
 Clothing donated should be in good condition and able to with stand the considerable wear which it will receive. The Triangle and Snow White Cleaners have offered to clean all garments before pack ing, and pressing or spotting is un- necessary.
 Anyone wishing to offer clothing may either leave it in the recrea- tion room of the Lutheran Church or call Mrs. Chris Wyller at Green PTS, or Swanson Brothers Store, PIT, for pickup of the articles. Pickup days will be November 1, 2 and 3.
