Russia, which is generally re-
garded as the hot bed of Com
munism is gradually returning to
private enterprise. This should
be a suggestion to the Commun-
lists in this country. Russia has
tried Communism to its fullest
and has discovered that private
enterprise is still the best. It is
individual initiative that makes
a country great.

ARE WE ASHAMED?

Some KenneWick people Still
complaining about not having en-
ough beef, high points for butter,
no nylon hose, scarcity of ice
cream and chewing gum, not
enough gas. You might add other
snivelings to this list that you
have heard. Yet listen to some
thing written in The Outpost pub
LEGATION in Great Britain, that
speaks of restrictions there. Here
are a few. No icing of cakes,
no selling of our lened-lease alarm
clocks to any person without a
permit to buy. No showing ahead
of your turn for buses or you
face a penalty. Putting out milk
bottles that have not been washed
or wasting string and paper even
the size of theatre ticket, brings
on prosecution for you. Throwing
away food is anott er crime. Those
who are bodied and drive to
work, except in the case of doc
tors and ministers, can be charged.
There are numerous things that
might appear to us as most severe,
but to those in country long at
war and heavily bombarded, they
realize too well the need for such
Too bad that Ameri-
cans can't consider another's lot
before moaning about their own.
Over there they can't change any
job without the governments
authorization. Imagine the fever
here when it was brought up
about. restricting the change from
vital war jobs, alone! We do not
ask that we be further restrained
to make us more courageous, we
just ask that we meet the few
that we do face today
with more restraint.

A local man who is partial to
solid reading said recently, that
he had read in the encyclopedia
that a hundred years ago the
United States didn't have any
debt, but he doesn't believe it. He
thinks history is in error for the
reason that he doesn't believe
that a nation could get as far in
debt as this nation is in the short
space of one hundred years.

Every state needs a state law
governing the unsightly institu-
tons known as automobile grave
yards. Cities may protect them
selves by means Of ordinances and
coming laws but city is help
less to protect itself against any
thing without the city limits. As
a result the approaches to many
towns are married by a collection
of unsightly junk yards. A state
law could provide that such in
stitutions be shut out from view
of the highway by high board
fences or evergreen hedges.

I've confined my interviewing
today 10 Democrats, and also a
number of political writer's here.
l might mention that two OF the
leading newspapers here, the Star
Times and the Post Dispatch are
strongly pro-Roosevelt. Only one,
the Globe Democrat, is pro-
Dewey. And all of them give Just
about the same story.
There is every indication that
the outsrate Republican majority
will be much larger than last.
The farmers are very much dis

prices down unreasonably. They

today to begin campaigning in
earnest by taking his fight into
doubtful Pennsylvania

counterattack Saturday night in
New York when he speaks on
the u. S. position In the postwar
world. at a dinner of the Foreign
Policy Association.
His next scheduled talk comes
the following Friday at 9 p. m. in
Shibe Park, Philadelphia.
The President ruled out a trans
continental campaign speaking
trip but he said he expected TO
make some more speeches before
the election. He may go to Chi
cago, Boston and possibly Cleve-
land, although he said decisions
had not been made;
REPUBLICANS AHEAD
Reports from Pennsylvania
showed today that 100000 more
voters had registered in the Re
publican column than mustered
by the Democrats.
Bad news came also from New
Jersey when former Gov. Edison
visited Mr.. Roosevelt at the White
House and said he told the Presi-
dent that the state would 60 for
Dewey by a substantial ma
jority.'
Normally Pennsylvania an d
New Jersey have both wound up
in the same column.
CARRIED STATE
In the 1910 election, Roosevelt
carried Pennsylvania by 281, 900
votes. The Democratic vote was
PHI, 900 to WILKES 1,sS9,000.
In 1886 Roosevelt received
235, 100000 votes and Landon
100000.
Roosevelt lost the state TO
Hoover in 1882 by $4,000 votes
The President took to task yes
terday what he described as
great many people in the United
States who are trying deliberately
to cause dissension about minor
details of the world plan for post
war security.
The President declared that
certain people were attempting 10
destroy the great plan for keeping
peace on the globe for generations
to come before the peace machin-
cry could get started.

tires without priority ratings,
you know.
"Garth had on his person the
consumers section OF a tire ra-
ton certificate.
"A check at Board 40, the
Central Mileage Board, showed
no record OF Garth's application
for new tires, but document
files showed that his applica-
ton might have gone through
the Highland Park Ford plant.
500 FOR 4 TIRES
Investigation Mt the plant
led us TO suspect kiloustian,
who had been replaced as ration
chairman on June. 8. We got
Howard because his name APP
peared on the slip In Garth's
possession.
Howard told us that he had
sold tires 10 q man named Ollie
TAYLOR of 642 Il. Vernon. So we
went out to question Taylor. He
also had four brand new tires.
HE told us that he bought
them from Howard, paying 500
for the four. Garth said that
he paid Howard Sl40 for the
tires on his car"
Further investigation led to the
arrest of Michaels, also an en-
ploye of the Ford plant. Dudley
said.
According to Dudley and Fred
w. Lindbloom, OPA enforcement
attorney. Kiloustian. when max
ing up his daily applications for
priority tires for war workers
made up seven to nine fakeAappli-
cations.
RECORDS DISAPPEAR
The fake applications were in
serted among the genuine aPph-
cations taken 10 Board 80 for
processing. After processing Ka-
ioustian is alleged TO have re-
moved the certificates issued on
the fake applications which were
then sold to customers for an
average of $40 a tire.
According TO Dudley, Howard
would contact Michaels when he
found a tire customer. Michaels
in turn got in touch with Kalous-
tan who supplied the certificates.
Somewhere in the circle Dud-
ley says, the record of the appli-
cations approved at the board dis
appeared from the files,
Storm VanderZee, OPA board
operations officer, said today that
in the future both tire and gaso-
line applications from workers in
all plants employing fewer than
$50 workers would be handled by
local ration boards instead of by
the Central Mileage Board.

tial candidate John W. Bricker In
a campaign address today placed
Earl Browder and Sidney Hillman
in "the inner New Deal circle
The Ohio governor answered a
charge OF Republican waste made
by President Roosevelt with a
countercharge that the President
apparently did not relish public
reference 10 his relationship with
the Communists and fellow trav-
elers."
The. President said in a cam
paign speech that Is Republican
conKreSsmen had distributed
5000, 900 copies Of talk by Rep.
Busby (R) of Illinois through the
mails at taxpayers expense and
on Is tons "of scarce paper"
UPSET THE PRESIDENT
Gov. Bricker told his Long
Beach audience that this publ
cation upset the President" and
that Mr.. Roosevelt also "was
Krieved that the documents were
printed in the face OF a paper
shortage"
'sMr. Roosevelt never COM
planned" he continued, "when
his appointees printed not one,
but ~ different booklets In
strueting the farmers how TO at
tain their gasoline allowances.
he did not complain when
WIPE used $1,000 pounds OF

Roosevelt's 'peevishness" at the
printing of the speech disclosing
that "Browder and Hillman are
q part of the inner New Deal cir
Vie" was "picayunish," and then
turned his attention to other ca
amples of asserted waste by The
administration
The truth is," Gov. Bricker
said, that for sheer spending
ingenuity and waste, the pres
emit administrations can not be
surpassed
Gov. Bricker In an earlier ad-
dress at San Diego also centersd
his talk on charges of Communist
infiltration with the New Deal.
In an address broadcast nation
