Industrial Peace
Essential Now

AS President Truman and Americas In
dustry boldly and confidently and with
initiative and action, move into the Recon-
version Era, the necessity for management
labor cooperation becomes more urgently
important than ever.
Since our factories, seeking to maintain
as high and stable employment as possible
Sparkplug the rest of the nations economy,
the urgency of industrial peace comes down
into every American home and farm.
I'VE shall have industrial harmony be-
cause we can't get anywhere without it,"
says Ira Mosher, president of the National
Ass. of Manufacturers . and that sue
cinctly and truly sums it all up
I'VE are going to have it mainly" Mr..
Mosher adds, because we know that there
is no fundamental difference in the things
that management and labor want in our
country"
Admittedly it is going to take patience
and understanding to resolve the difficult
tleS-both of reconversion and of manage
Eent-labor cooperation. Our economy was
turned upside down to fight and win an all
out war. We are now turning it rightside
up to achieve prosperous peace.
But we know now what our free business
economy can do II it can vanquish our
global enemies, it can conquer domestic
depressions.

The Right TO Zip

Another right that we Americans want
to keep is the right to howl when we don't
like what's going on.
In collectivist or totalitarian governments,
there's only one side You agree, or you
get shot or sent to prison camp.
Our American system is far from per-
feet. But we have two sides, and we can
still zip and zap. Some people call it free
dom of speech" and others say that it's part
of the American way of life Whichever it
is, it is as much part of America and our
traditions as baseball and Geo. Washington
Let's improve our own system of indi-
vidual initiative, and competitiOn-instead
of copy-catting any other countrys scheme
of too much government boSsing- and being
told to fall in line and shut up.

Research-For Life

It is most reassuring that, even as men
learn to destroy life with terrifying eff
cheney, they are also concerned about how
TO save it and make it more enjoyable
Scientific research and industrial know
how" in this free economy of ours brought
the atomic bomb into being, to destroy the
willto-war of the Japs.
At the same time we learned that General
Motors is ready pending the release of
needed men and materials, to begin work
on a vast technical center covering $50 acres
near Detroit "in the interests of improved
products, new and broader service to public
needs, and expanded opportunities for en-
ployment"
Thus, while its plans were pouring out
needed equipment for war, a great and
typical American industry prepared further
to improve its peacetime products through
scientific research and to open new and
greater job opportunities when victory is
won.
Then, too comes the announcement from
two of GINS top men-in their capacities as
American citizens Alfred P. Sloan Jr.,
chairman, and DR.. c. F. Kettering, vice
president and research director, that the
Alfred p Sloan Foundation has made a
grant of 100000 for a ten-year campaign
against that scourge of manufacturers.
S2000,000 will 90 to build aHG -,sin.ala -
institute for cancer research, and the re-
mainder to carry on that research without
interruption.
In these two ways the techniques of in
dustrial research will be utilized fully to
enhance and save life, not to DESTROY il
utterly.

Dear Sir:
There has been considerable dis
cuSsion over the buses blocking
traffic at intersections.
One of our councilmen has sug-
gested moving the Stop signs to the
middle Of the block thereby making
the parking space considerably less.
This, the public will or should
strongly object TO-
If you will notice. by making a
trip along Biddle avenue, the Stop
signs are placed on the north and
south corners of different intersec-
tions on both sides of the street.
What objection would there be to
locating the Stop signs on the west
side Of Biddle on the northwest
corner of each intersection. Those
on the east side on the southeast
corner. In this way We would have
the same amount of parking space.
The buses would not be blocking
any intersection. The city would not
have to go to the expense of erect
ing signposts in the middle Of
blocks where there is no light pole
Buses going north would stop be-
fore they approach the intersection
and buses going south would do
the same, stopping before reaching
the intersection.

ROCK HARBOR, Isle Royale,
Mich. Maybe you'll like Isle
Royale; maybe you won't.
This national park, the only
island wilderness within the CONT
mental United States, would pro-
vide an ideal war time hideout from
the atomic bomb
The average island is not readily
accessible to travellers by passen-
ger boat Mackinac Island is an
hours distance from MackinaW
City; st. James on Beaver island
IS three and one-half hours time
from Charleyoix. But Isle Royale
beats them all.
We left Copper Harbor, at the
tip of the scenic, mountainous Ke-
weenaw peninsula. on a 55-foot
dieSel-powered boat, the Copper
Queen, piloted by sturdy Fin
lander, Captain Charles Kauppi.
Five hours later we arrived at the
EASTERN end of Isle Royale in time
for an awaiting roast beef dinner
at the Rock Harbor lodge, a ma
tional park hotel concession.
When the waves run long on Lake
Superior, as is occasionally the case,
the traveller is treated to a first
rate miniature of an ocean voyage

rolls and hobs. You roll and bob
with it.
To the hardy traveller, this may
be Adventure with a capital A.
But to others who prefer to enjoy
their comforts although straying
away from home, the combination
may tax human patience. And those
who are predeStined to seaSickness
must make the best of the situation
and grin and bear it."
Mote: SeasicknesS may be pre-
vented or minimized by observance
of the following precautions: Do
not take food for five or six hours
before sailing; inhale plenty Of
fresh air while on board; drink
strong coffee and eat an occasional
lump Of sugar; take a good Bl Wit
amin dosage, such as brewers yeast;
and, If necessary, try small amounts
OF chlorobrom, compound of chic
ralamide and bromide of potassium,
by a physicians prescription. Or,
better yet, FLY to the islandD
Assuming that you'll enjoy Gas

what you may expect to find at
this rocky national park with
around 400 chartered islets sur
rounding it like a south-Sea coral
reef.
Although still in Michigan. the
island is only 10 miles from Mime
sofa and 20 miles from Thunder
Bay on the Canadian shore. Geo
logically it is part of the Keweenaw
peninsula which accounts for pres
ence of native copper.
Your lodging will be limited to
one Of three park hotels: Rock

For finding Pacific airfield sites
that will cut future air travel time,
Rear Admiral Richard e. Byrd,
retired, today received the Legion
of Merit medal from President
Roosevelt.
Mr.. Roosevelt himself disclosed
the nature Of Byrd's outstanding
services.
Previously it had been announc-

ton duty with the commander in
chief Of the United States Fleet
and that he will return soon to the
Pacific.

how Byrd IN 1913 took an old gun
boat, went to the Southwestern

C0NNALLY URGES
POLICY SILENCE

WASHINGTON. Jan. Ii up -
Senator Connally %. -Tex), after
Presidential briefing on foreign pol
icy today, urgently requested his
colleagues to avoid disturbing "the
delicate International situation
pending a Roosevelt Stain Church
i'll conference.
The chairman of the Foreign Re-
lations Committee led an eight
man Senate delegation to the White
House conference The senator's,
pledged to secrecy concerning their
discussions wi h Mr.. Roosevelt,
waved aside questioners or report
ed a satisfactory interchange OF
view.
Connally, however, left no doubt
that another big Three confer
ence is in the making presumably
sometime after the Presidential ILL
auguration exercises January ~.
The Texan issued this terse state.
ment:
1.-THE subcommittee had a very
pleasant a n satisfactory confer
ence with the President. In antici-
patton of his departure to meet
Stain and Churchill, the views Of
members of the subcommittee
were made known to the President
and the Presidents views We're
made known to the subcommittee
Until the meeting Of Roosevelt,
Stain and Churchill, I hope that
there will be no resolutions pre-
scented in the Senate or general
discussions which would disturb
the delicate International situation.
The Texans request apparently
was aimed against any more such
field days of debate on foreign af-
fairs as occurred yesterday. In a
crowded three hours, the Senate
heard Senator Vandenberg (R.-
Mich.) propose an immediate in
ternational agreement for the polio
ing of Germany and Japan, and
Senator Ferguson, likewise Michi-
gan Republican, seek support for
a resolution reaffirming the prin-
ciples Of the Atlantic Charter.
Vandenberg was a member Of
the group which went to the White
House this morning. Headed by
Connally, the unit customarily
confers at intervals with the Sec
rotary of State on international
questions, keeping the full COM
mittee informed of the latest dip
lomatic developments. Other eel
der statesmen on the sub-co.n-
mittee are Senators George Cd
GaD, Thomas D-Utah), Barley
D-Ky). the majority leader; La
Toilette Prog Wis.,, White
R-Me), the minority leader, and
Austin (R-Vt).
Connally's request to the Senate
to soft-pedal it's public discussion
of delicate" international mat
tiers was delivered to reporters
rather than to the Senate itself
and had no immediate silencing
effect.
The eight scarcely had got their
coats off from the White House
trip before Senator Wiley (R-Wis),
a new member of the Foreign Re-
1ations Committee, was making
