are denied those living on Federal
reservations within the State.
Several years ago, 1 noticed in
the newspapers the case of two eld-
erly shoe repairmen who lived on
the Aberdeen Proving Grounds for
many years. They applied for pen
sion at the time of retirement but
1t could net be granted because they
did not live in the State of Mary
land
Il grant that the case of civilians
living on Federal reservations does
not exactly parallel that of the
residents Of the District of Colum-
bia. However, hope that you will
give consideration to those vote1ess
citizens of the United States who
are being penalized because of the
place in which they live. 1t is my
contention that no American should
be denied the right of franchise If
he is citizen of the United States"

a portion of State was acquired by

Pennsylvania 5 COP
Opens Campaign With
Attack on New Deal
~ the Associated Press.

PITTSBURGH, Sept. .. - The
Pennsylvania Republican State
Committee, opening its campaign
today in the presidential election,
denounced ''one-man government, |"
which it said had substituted di-
receives and regulations for due
process Of law and debauched the
intellectual honesty of the peoples
court"
The committee, going on record as
indorsing the national Republican
platform 100 per cent, adopted a
resolution stating in part:
This one-man government has
plunged the people deeper and deep
er into debt for IL years, has mort
gagged the future of our children in
a long series of costly and disastrous
experiments, has overrun the sew
eral States with its agents who have
pried into the private affairs of all
our citizens, has ruled by devious
and assumed authority"
Warns Of Strike Curb.
Senator Davis, Republican, of
Pennsylvania told the committee
that governmental control of the
economic system would result in the
loss OF the right to strike and the
end of collective bargaining.
He said:
Even now 1t is being proposed
by some men in high places that
the Government should continue to
operate many of our present war
plants, valued at almost 100 mil
lion dollars, and that 1t should op-
crate these plants in direct COM
petition with the privately owned
production plants of this Nation.
Under that type of system, the
Government inevitably becomes the
sole employer of all men.
Such a system can only result
in the complete surrender and alb
rogation of the principal tools and
methods of action used by free men
in a free labor movement.
"Squander Maniacs."
ut can only mean the loss of the
right to strike, for every American
President has said that no man can
strike against the Government"
Representative Dewey Short, Re-
publican, of Missouri called the ad-
ministration "squander maniacs"
and characterized his fellow Mis-
sourian, Democratic Vice Presiden-
tial Nominee Harry Truman. as
boss picked, boss-reared and boss
controlled"

ton until the end of the war must
be the best qualified" and all other
rules of selection are applicable
only among those so qualified. He
added that no one will be disqual-
tfied simply because he Is . small
contractor.
Hopes to Cushion Shock.
Given first priority of release from
war production will be privately,
owned plants not normally engaged
in military work, he said, in order
to facilitate their reconversion to
civilian output. In scheduling re-
lease OF plants, due consideration
also will be given to "cushioning the
shock of unemployment"
Mr.. Byrnes declared that "in 50
far as practicable. the release to
civilian production of competing
units of the same industry should
be simultaneous" On the point Of
competitive positions. he told re-
porters I'VE will try to be fair and
just SO fam as possible to all COM
petitors, so all can start civilian
production on the same percentage
basis"
He said there were innumerable
questions which can be settled at
this time, preparatory to settling
contracts that will be terminated
and clearing plants of war produc-
ton equipment and materials. For
example, representatives of the pro-
curement agencies already are con-
ferring with contractors, agreeing in
advance as to methods of account
ing, and settling such questions as
the allotment of overhead expenses
as between war and civilian produc-
ton. On We Day, the agencies
will notify contractors by telegram
specifically as to curtailment OF pro-
duction in their plants.
Ample Storage Space.
Ample storage space is being pro-
vided, Mr.. Byrnes continued, so that
Government property can be re-
moved promptly from the plants.
The OWN director sketched the
plans announced several days ago
by WPB for removing most con-
trolls over civilian production on the
collapse Of Germany. He said the
WPB plan should provide sufhcient
protection to assure production of
materials for the Japanese war. but
that the agency would stand by to
take necessary steps should civilian
production begin to crowd out war
work.
"The fear of timid people may
temporarily retard our return to
full production and full employ
ment," Mr.. Byrnes said, but 1t win
be only for short time.
To-day America Is stronger than
ever before. We. should make the
maintenance Of the present na-
tional income and high level Of
smployment our gcal-and achisysI

IF YOU'VE wondered whom you should blame for
i the awesome organ sounds you hear all over
America, it's G.. Donald Harrison. He's one of the
100 or fewer men in the world who can design pipe
organs And many of the cathedral and church
organs in the United States the result Of Hasons
designs His company starts with plan for an organ
ends up with installation.
The designer must be architect, musician and
master craftsman rolled into one An organ may be
constructed for as little as 5000 or as much as
$l5OOOO. 1t may have 60 pipes or 10000.
Harrison will be even more important when war
ends in Europe. Most cathedral organs have been
destroyed and restoring them will be tough job
Music fer de Wi>Assss
HARRISON designed and his Aeoian-Skinner Or
gan Co. built the tremendous instrument IN Grace
Cathedral, San Francisco, and organs in Harvard.
Yale Columbia, Cornell and other universities.
Just for contrast, Harrison built the organ
that played for the wedding Of the Duke and
Duchess of Windsor at = French chateau.
Harrison designed one pipe organ in Dublin at the
height of the Easter Rebellion. Odd facts about that
Job: The organ was for Christian Science church,
and Harrison is an Engiishman
When he reached Dublin, the trouble had subsided
but an occasional shot violated the silence of curfew
The cheerful Irish colleen who drove his taxi took
pleasure in pointing out bullet holes in her cab.
Movie MonstrodtSs
Mr. HARRISON came to this country in 1927. That's
when industry was suffering under the influence OF
the movie cathedras, which had intruded monster
organs to play popular songs during mtermissions
1t was Mr. Harrison thinks, like hiring pie-drivd
to crack nut. Pipes were inserted into every con-
ceivable c1evice The keyboard was loaded with trick
effects Harrison fought to restore the classic purity
of the instrument but it looked like losing battle
until sound pictures came in. Most of the elaborate
monstrosities being permitted to rust
away, or have been dsmantled for their metal
Churches and universities his big custom
ers now.
Harrison has traced the organ back to the time OF
Nero. The Emperor was interested IN an invention
which pumped air into pipes through water pressure
Harrison would not be surprised if Nero played one OF
these instead of a fiddle when Rome burned.
1T would have diverted much water from the
blaze" he says.

Experts Give eStinnonY

Pittsfield, Mass, June 2S -- (U. P.0-Dr. Charles c. Lund of the Harvard Medical School remained unshaken under ross-examination today in the murder trial of Attor- ney John F. NoXon and continued to support the defense theory that the socialite lawyers imbecile infant son was a victim of accidental elec- trocution.
 Midway in the fifth week of the 47-year-o1d lawyers trial before Superior Judge Abraham E. Pinan- ski and a jury, Dr. Lund said he believed that 6-month-old Lawrence Noxon could have become entangled accidentally in a live wire the day of his electrocution last September 9.
 This was the contention of the defense in the face of accusations by the state that the lawyer de- liberately killed the baby. Dr. Lund told District Attorney Charles R, Alberti he never had observed the reaction of babies to an electrical shock but denied his opinions were pure and simple guess-work."
 Then, you're giving us these opinions without having eXperi- mented- is that right" demanded Alberti.
 T don't need to experiment, I am passing my opinions on my gen. eral knowledge of medicine, ,s,~| Dr, Lund replied. -
 The physician believed burns ,eEl the infants arms could Have been caused in a short time by the live wire. The states expert witnesses contended 1t would have taken at least five minutes to have Fcaused such scars.
 At least two more experts, Ste- phen Whiting, retired Harvard phy- sics professor and William 0. Bar rett, Adams chemist, remained to be examined before the 47 year old defendant, his wife, and their IS year old son John, will be called for testimony.
 Tn direct examination, Dr. Lund corroborated the explanation of Dr. Milton Helpern of New York who preceded him on the stand. He expressed the opinion that the electric wire, in which the baby be- came entangled, moved along the left arm, causing a variety of burns. A key prosecution medical witness had testified that the wire was sta- tionary and that pressure was ex- erted to hold 1t on the infants body.
 The defendant and his counsel viewed 8 home motion picture of the baby at a private courtroom showing last night. The picture is expected to be introduced in evi- dence by the defense later in the trial.

Stockholm, June 2S - (U.P.) - German troops were reported streaming through Helsinki today in last-minute attempt to bolster their tottering Finnish allies, and usually-reliable sources said the Films had appealed to Berlin for military aid after receiving a curt demand for unconditional surrender from Russia.
 A private informant in Helsinki told the United Press by telephone this morning that the streets of the Finnish capital were thick with German troops and that many of them = all brought up from Estonia and the South-were being moved hurriedly to the front to reinforce the hard-pressed Finnish army. /
 This informant said the Germans were met with stony-faced silence from the Finnish people and there is deep and general dissatisfaction over the governments decision to continue in the war.
 Swedish sources In Stockholm said President Risto Ryti and Premier Edwin tinkomies called in the Ger mans after trying unsuccessfully to obtain new peace terms from Mos COW last week. The Russian reply was unconditional surrender" acc aa~ltxanr kr khaca cnVVrOnc

 Stockholm observers interpreted the arrival of the Germans and the Finnish decision to continue fight ing as a victory for Linkomies' pro- German policy.
 The Linkomies government, these observers said, has cast of Ell pre- tense and tied Finland's fate in with that of Germany, by overriding par lament and either ignoring or CO., ercing the aged Baron Marshal Carl Gustav Mannerheim, commander in-chief of the army.
 Finnish censorship prevented any information from Helsinki on the question of continued diplomatic re- lations between the United States and Finland. Edmund A. Gullion, U. s. Charge D'Affaires in Helsinki said in telephone interview that he had received no new instructions from Washington as 8 result of the new situation.
