Tonic Diet
Figure SIissrsing:
By IDA JEAN KAIN

TOSS ALL YOUR daffy diets
TO the balmy breezes. They are
a waste of time and energy.
The balanced ]. .0O0-calorie menu
is not only slimming, it's tonic.
II beats the old fashioned sui
phur and molasses dosing all
holler!
The scientific slimming diet
is so good il let's you lose up TO
three pounds a week and feel
like a new woman. You won't
feel tired or cross. You'll feel
fine. II works wonders because
il furnishes an abundance OF
every essential but calories.
With overweight you have ex-
cess calories TO burn, but you
do not have any such reserve OF
minerals, vitamin and protein
to make good the daily wear
and tear.

Churchill Tells Voters
He VIII Not Serve in
Laborife Coalition
By the Associated Press.


LONDON, June 80. - Prime
Minister Churchill said tonight
that he best could lead the ma
tion through "the dangers"
ahead and that he would quit
the government if the Labor
party won the July election.
''It would be impossible for me to
serve in Labor party government
when that party is welded to poll
cies which I regard as ruinous to the
future of this country" the Con-
servative leader declared in his final
campaign address.
Mr.. Churchill said labor victory
would lead to factional strife and
that without a strong government
Britain might quickly be reduced
to a secondary power.
II am convinced that I can help
you through the dangers and diff
culties of the next few years with
more advantage than would fall to
Others" he said.
Voters Warned.
'If you wish me to continue to
discharge the task of national
leadership, there is only one way
and that is to vote for candidates
who support me-" he added, assert-
ing that Britons could not vote
the labor or liberal ticket without
voting for my dismissal from power"
II Britain lost its influence on
other nations, Mr.. Churchill said, it
might in turn lose the confidence of
its self-governing dominions.
On Thursday the British will
choose their first new government
in 10 years, but the result will not
be announced until July 26, when
the soldier vote has been counted.
There are 1874 candidates seek
Ing $40 seats in the new Parliament.
Voters have packed hundreds of halls
throughout the country to hear the
issues loudly debated.
Battle Outlined.
The main battle is between the
Conservative government of Mr..
Churchill and the Labor party of
Clement Attlee, Ernest Bevin and
Herbert Morrison, which proposes to
natienalize the basic industries.
The Laborites have warned their
followers repeatedly to beware of
last-minute attempts by the Con-
servatives to stampede the elec-
torate."
Directing his final election broad
cast to the soldiers, sailors and air
men, Mr.. Churchill asserted they
should mot hesitate" to vote against
him if they believed 'it is right and
best for the country"
Servicemen Get Ballots.
"AlI ask is that you should do

Gillette Report Urges
Independent Surplus
Unit Under One Head

Guy M. Gillette, retiring ch9ir-
man Of the Surplus Property Board,
recommended TO Congress yester-
day that the huge sales task be
placed under single administfa-
tor. fl
Mr.. Gillette, a former Senator,
submitted TO Senator OMahorey,
Democrat, of Wyoming a series OF
suggestions for legislation n-the
subject. ~
He said in a letter to Senator
OMahoney that he originally IA
vored the broad idea for surplus
war property disposal butr his ex-
periences since then have caused
him to change his mind.
Urges Independence.
IT am forced to the conclusipn,"
Mr.. Gillette wrote, that the act
should be administered by one Der
son as its head"
He also suggested that the agency
be established independently. How
it is under the once of War Mo-
bilfzation and Reconversion.
James F. Byrnes and Fred M
vinson, former and present OWN
directors, have been 'painstakingly
considerate in their Interpretation OF
this supervisory function" Mr..
Gillette wrote, but there have been
numerous instances where plans and
policies Of the board have Been
vetoed -or changed in the ONCE ,of
War Mobilization"
Some future director Of OWN
might insist that he have absolute
control of the agency, Mr.. Gillette
said.
Language ~Too Loose"
He suggested, too, that CongrSss
lower from $4,000, 900 TO $1,000 600
the minimum cost yardstick in
which sale Of a plant must be Re-
ported to the Attorney Generah
The language of the law to pre-
vent employees from engaging in
surplus property transactions later
is too loose, Mr.. Gillette said, add
ing:
TT would appear that a strict
construction of the language enp-
ployed in this section would not
prohibit me, as a former chaf-
man of the Surplus Property
Board, from active participation
in many sales of surplus property
in the future because I have not
been employed by any Of the DIS
posal agencies"

Iroquois and part French. At Haskell

expensive enough for any rodeo star.
Mrs Arketa doesn't know of any

says there might be if anyone looked
back far enough. But there's plenty

fondness for children knows no
