in showing scores of world figures
as they actually were and as the
makeup department and the skill
of the players has reproduced them.
The tempo of the picture is greatly
increased in its illustration of the
most passionate battle of Wilson's
life, that to secure lasting peace.
He is shown on his speaking tour
to arouse the Nation, in his battles
with Senator Lodge, an artful and
implacable foeman, and in his lonely
haunted sense that 1t will all end in
failure and defeat. There is high
drama in many of these passages,
at its highest perhaps when he is
unable to complete his speech at
Pueblo, Colo, due to his finally
breaking health.

MODEL COOP
TOWN PLANNED
I'm WISCONSIN

MINNEAPOLIS LPA) = A model
cooperative village, with facilities for
accommodating convntions, Institutes,
and cooperative training schools, is
to grow at Burkhardt, Wis, near here
on the Wisconsin border.
Purchase of a whole village -
houses, stores, and mill complete
with grain elevator, warehouses and
offices - has been announced this
week by Midland Cooperative Whole
SALE
When the death of the Burkhardt
mills owner in 1881 caused the COM
munity to decline in population, the
Coop bought the mill. More recently
it has bought the land and buildings
that make up the community. The
mill is now back in operation and is
furnishing a carload of much needed
feed for farm animals each day.
A. j. Smedby, Midland's general
manager, says that they put up about
$4,000 for the community properties,
and that it is expected much more
will be spent in building it into a
postwar center for consumers coop
eratives
Consumers co-operatives this year
celebrate their hundredth anniver-
sary. The first consumers coop was
set up by weavers in Rochdale, Eng
land, in 1874 Now, they are spread
all over the world.

SURPLUS WAR
PROPERTY COMM.
Makes REPORT

A preliminary report made by the
Surplus War Property subcommittee
of the senate committee ON small
business states that while an accurate
report is not possible to be made at
this time, it submits a summary
estimate" that there will be a total of
SOB, 1928, 10000 of war-end surpluses.
1t states also that congress does not
need wait for statistical perfection
before legislating basic policies" re-
lating to the disposition of these sur
pluses.
The report points out that 1t took
10000 men four months to complete
the first inventory of goods left over
on Armistice day in the first World
War; at which time the government
owned the largest quantity of supplies
ever accumulated in history up to that
time - approximately S6000,000,0O0
With about IL times that amount
estimated to be accumulated and left
over at the end of the present war
the magnitude of the task is appar-
ent.
About so bills on the subject of sur
plus-property disposal have already
been introduced in congress, accord
ing to the report, and suggests that
coordination and Capitalization of
disposal policy is essential.
Generally speaking, a purchaser
who will undertake to operate the
plant he buys should be preferred to
a purchaser who proposes to disman-
tie the plant he buys, for sale abroad"
the report states. 1t then goes on
and states: "One method of nipple
menting the preference policy would
be to those who will engage in pro-
duction and provide employment is to
prohibit the sale of government-owned
plants except ON condition that they
be operated at substantial levels of
production and that If this condition
is preached, the government may re-
scind the contract"

NEW POWER FOR HIMMLER

NE wv ~ IN T Oh WI Eh-ft
Gestapo chief Heinrich Himmler
whom Adolf Hitler appointed com
mander-in-chief of the German Home
Front Army" following the alleged at.
tempt on the Fuehrer's life by a
small army clique" is reported to
have envisaged his current role in a
speech to a group of German army
officers in 1887 - two years before
war began.
According to a British radio broad
cast some time ago, Himmler told the
Wehrmacht officers at that time:
at is the task of the Army to pro-
tect us on land. The Navy must cover
us at sea, the Luftwaffe in the air.
However, in the future war there will
appear a fourth front, too-the Ger
man home front We shall use at
this front the SIS (n5azi Elite Guard)
formations for special use and the
SIS Totenkopf Deaths Head forma-
tons"
The 44-year-old Himmler, who be-
gan his career as a clerk in nitrogen
company, was a better prophet than
perhaps he himself realized. After
his recent appointment as head of the
German Home-Front Army" the
Nazi DNB agency transmitted dis
patch to German Army newspapers
in which it defined Himmler's new
front as follows:
"This front stands against all cow

GOVT. ANSWERS
TO BREAK UP
ms. MONOPOLY

WASHINGTON (LPA)-The public
has been taking beating from the
fire insurance monopoly long enough,
the Department of Justice has de-
cided.
Indicted for violation of the anti
trust laws, 1877 fire insurance firms
will be brought to trial in Atlanta
sometime this fall and asked to ex-
plain away, if they can, why they've
conspired to set fire insurance rates
which rob the buyer and why they've
used illegal methods to freeze out
their competitors.
Said to be the second largest in
dustry in the country, the insurance
business has resorted to lot of ques-
tionable devices to keep rates up be-
yond where they should be.
One of these devices, according to
the Department Of Justice, is the
establishment in each community of
a rating bureau to which all the fire
insurance companies subscribe. The
bureau sets the risk rate on each
piece of property. Firms that don't
belong to the monopoly have no bu-
reaus of their own and therefore have
to accept the rates decided on by
their competitors.
Cooperative fire insurance organ
ization, to which thousands of union
members belong, have not been guilty
of illegal practices, the government
attorneys declare.
The majority of states, they pointed
out, have no laws controlling the rate
that can be charged the householder
or the store owner who must buy in
Many instances were found by De-
partment of Justice investigators of
methods by which the monopoly at
to freeze out competitors who
offered lower fire insurance rates. A
large department store, for example,
found that it could make considera-
BILE annual saving by transferring its
insurance to firm that was not
of the monopoly. Immedi-
ately the store was informed that if
the transfer was made the store
would henceforth lose the patronage
of the monopoly's agents, executives
and other employees. The same
threats were used against hotels.
Few industries in the country are
so dominated by the head hand of
business practices and re-
luctance to permit any change. In
surance firms, as whole, have re-
sisted the tendency toward multiple
coverage" policies which would pro-

CLAYTON TRIES
REPLY TO F. u.
CHARGES

WASHINGTON (LPA) = Will L.
Clayton, Surplus War Property Ad
ministrator on July oath announced
that the. government will follow a
policy of selling surplus real estate
in family-size parcels and to farm pur-
chasers who will cultivate the land
themselves.
The statement came as direct
reply to the recent charges of James
Patton, president of the National
Farmers Union that administration by
the Reconstruction Finance Corpora
ton (RFC) of the program to dispose
of 100000 acres of farm land ac-
quired by the government during the
war would result in domination of the
program by the National Association
of Real Estate Boards and result in
helping the big landlord interests.
Clayton's statement said that all
land would be appraised by expert
enced and disinterested men" usually
drawn from the local community. 1t
brought an immediate reply from Pat
ton who insisted that, This means
that tn wishes of the National Asso-
citation of Real Estate Boards and its
affiliates are to be followed and that
private realtors and appraisers will be
able to make killing regardless of
the interests of agriculture
"The land will either be sold as part
of a real estate speculation program
or else will be dumped in uneconomic
units that doom the owner to failure
or foreclosure from the start" the
Farmers Union head predicted.
Patton, speaking for the small farm
ers of his organization charged that

LABOR DIVIDES

While sharply opposed by Akron

organized labor is apparently accept
ing the new War Manpower Commits
sion Labor Priority program, accord
ing to a survey of unions attitudes
conducted by Vivien Roodenko, secre
tary of the Free Labor Committee OF
the Workers Defense League.
The text of the survey follows:
1.-THE dominant attitude of organ
lied labor to the Labor Priority Pro
gram seems to be one of watchful
waiting. Most unions are co-operat-
ing with the War Manpower Commits
sion but are carefully watching its
rulings to prevent any of labor's
rights being lost Some unions have,
however, come out completely against
the program, charging it is a con-
cealed form of the Labor draft.
unions are mainly concerned about
the possibility of workers being forced
TO take jobs at lower wages, at differ
ent lower-paid occupations inl non
union shops, or at considerable dis
lance from their home.
"a typical reaction is that of Victor
Reuther, assistant director of the
Unitd Automobile Workers (CIO)

local unions of the JAW to report
