Washington, Jan. l5 - (U,PJ - Supreme Court Justices this term have largely refrained from public sniping at each others views, but their private conference sreportedly have been marked by unusual bick- ering over phrases, words and even commas in disputed opinions.
 In the last term. there were sev- eral sharp and public exchanges among the justices. Lack of such exchanges recently by no means in- dicateS that all is serene in their private conferences, according to

 That isn't all, Mrs. Norton. I can write a treatise on diapers. They are made of three kinds of material: birds-eye, flannelette. and gauge. Birds-eye is the old-fash- toned stuff, folded once, to make a triangle. Flannelette works the same way.

 Sez who?
 It's true that our productive plant is bigger than ever before. It's true that lot of it was built for war. It's true that much of it will have to be rebuilt for peace.
 So what? Ws can do ay
 It's true that, to keep all that productive capacity operating, we'll have to make sure that people will be able to buy all we'll be able to produce after the war.
 We cGn do thGt, too!
 Not through government hand-outs- which would only pile up more debt and higher and higher taxes. But by using our pNofuctive capac- ity to give Americans more iR' their money in the things they buy, so they can buy nsore- and thus create more jobs and wsove earnings for all.
 In short, by making full use of this country's limitless energy and ambition, we can help lead the world into an era of peace and plenty greater than any yet seen.
 Business is pledged to do it's part -- first, by increasing the opportunities for all to earn and, second, by increasing the opportunities for all to buy.
 To increase Me opportunities for oU to earn, business pledges just and enlightened wage policy, and the opening of every possible avenue of advancement for the worker.

ted Promoted Burt Causey last

Sonny Myers whipped the Mar

Gentleman Jim Coffield, one of
the meanest men ever to set foot
