Attlee said the Russian action
was proof of the solidarity that
exists between the principal AL

shorten the struggle. He said:

her heroic campaign against
Nazi Germany and we have al

NAILS NEAR SECRET
While the world waited to see
that ultimate effect the Ame:l-
can use of the atomic bomb
would have in the japanese war,
a dispatch from Kiel, Germany
revealed that in the closing
days of the European war the
Germans were making great
strides in the race to develop
this weapon and were catching
up with Allied scientists.
The largest heavy water plant
in Germany was captured al
most intact at Kiel three months
ago and turned over to British
and American specialists. The
extent of the Nazis' atomic dis
coveries remains top secret.
In Paris the trial of Marshal
Petain entered its home stretch.

Acute Garbage
Issue Studied
City Contractor
Serves Notice

Carl II. Jobse, contractor for
garbage collection in NJ o u n
Clemens, served notice on the
City Commission last night that
the garbage collection situation
is acute" and that he could only
guarantee service for the next
80 days.
Labor shortage and the in
ability to find a place to dump
the garbage were cited by Jobse
difficulties.
He told the commission that
he planned to sell his farm be-
cause of the hog shortage and
that he would not be able to con-
time with the collection after
that unless the commission could
find place for him to dump the
garbage.
Citing the shortage h e ] p,
Jobse pointed out that he only
had one driver while collecting
on Monday and that no relief
was in sight.
Although Jobse has been col
lecting garbage twice a week IN
the city, he declared last night
that he could not be expected ID
handle it that often in the future.
In an effort to alleviate the
serious situation Jobse proposed
that the commission advertise
for bids from farmers in order
to find a place to dump the gar
bage. He said that Selfridge
Field officials did that and had
good results.
Mayor Albert A. w a gn e r
brought up the question of an in
Generator or reducing plant and
the idea was heartily endorsed
by members of the commission.
The commission voted to have
City Engineer E. l.. Pettingill
look into the matter ana repor'
back on the cost of such a pro-
ject.
Jobse told the commission that
he has been unable to find farms
on which the garbage could De
dumped. He said the farmers do
not have enough hogs to spread
it and hence all the work has to
be done by hired help.
On the recommendation Of
Commissioner Fred Breitmeyer
City Clerk j. H. Matthews was
urged to contact neighborlng
municipalities to find out their
method of disposal and to report
back at the next meeting.

reverse the trend. The feeling certainly is justified that anything attempted now to improve the meat condition won't make it worse than it assuredly will be- come if present trends continue. It is understandable if people take the atti- tude toward the new legislation of, "Lit- tie or nothing to lose, much to gain"
 Only experience can prove whether the new law is the answer to the problem. MT. Anderson'S statement that he now has authority which will enable him to "break the back" of the meat black mar ket is encouraging. But there is a note of caution in his further remark that, if he needs more authority, he will ask Con- gress for it. This suggests an opinion that the new law may not be enough. Even so, MT Anderson clearly believes that the new law at worst, is good start in the right direction. This would leave much to be desired. Yet it still would mean much to those among us who cling to the belief that the American govern ment, with all it's faults, is big and pow erful enough to finish any job it starts whether it be with Nazis, Japs or black marketeerS.

Service Brings Reward

A new foundation of public appre- citation and understanding of railroads has been laid by their performance of near transportation miracles during the past three years. AS all other forms of transportation became inadequate to meet war demands, railroads had to take on their loads, one by one. AS a result, the public has gained a con- stantly increasing understanding of their importance as our basic means of transportation.
 For example, in 1941, a survey showed that 63 per cent of persons in- terviewed thought railroads were the form of transportation most important to the defense effort, while 20 per cent rated trucks the most important; g per cent, inland waterways, and 8 per cent, no opinion. In 1914, these figures had changed to railroads, 83 per cent; trucks, per cent; inland waterways, 2 per cent, and those with no opinion, per cent.
 In the same sort of interview, 43 per cent thought the railroads were doing good job in 1941, but by 1914, 90 per period, the proportion of opinions favor 4AA6 PAANooS AA1AAAoSCAAASAAO, eo NoAAoA oAooSSe with government operation in wartime, rose from 50 per cent to 85 per cent. Without any argument, these figures tell a story of service that is deserving of recognition and they show that recog- milton has been granted.
 A healthy transport system for our nation can be maintained only if all types of transport are regulated on a basis of equality and fairness and made self sustaining from their own revenue, and regulated to the same extent. Each form of transportation should provide the service for which it is best fitted. Each form of transportation should pro- vide the service for which it is best fit- ted. AS wasteful duplication of facilities and competition are eliminated, differ ent forms of transportation will func- tion together efficiently as coordinated parts of a perfect transport system.

Ander- son in dealing with black markets III meat. The attitude of approval is some what unusual because of having come from sources, III and out of Congress, ot differing political faiths, including those who admit frankly that they are vague as to the details of the workings of the new egislation-which includes most of us. This position almost certainly arises In large degree from recognition Of the fact that black markets, particularly lp meat, have become so serious that some thing drastic must be done, and at once. It also recognizes that the best hope Of solving the problem lies in entrusting au- thority in one pair of hands. It is not problem likely to be solved if powers are divided among numerous officials or agencies.
 Tn many ways, the situation as to meat black markets is reminiscent Of that existing at the time of the depres- sion when Franklin D. Roosevelt first became President in 1883. Few pretend ed to know what could or should be done 70 correct conditions then existing. But nearly everyone felt that to attempt any hing was better than to do nothing at Ill.

A Thought for Today
Menace of the Filibuster

In considering the list of outstanding people who have joined in urging Speeoy ratification by the United States senate of the United Nations Charter, 1t De- comes difficult to imagine the possibility of the rejection of, or the failure to ap- prove, the document drafted at san Francisco The Charter has the endorse ment of practically all, if not all, ot the more prominent figures in the Demo cratic Party Of greater significance, It is endorsed by such men as Gov. Thomas E. Dewey of New York, Senator Vanden- berg of Michigan and former Governor Stassen of Minnesota among Republicans who, as the minority group, would nor mally be expected to furnish any opposl- ton that might exist or develop. Like wise, speedy ratification has been urged Sy the Governors Conference which met recently. As matter of fact, if there IS any considerable or important opposition to approval of the Charter, it has not yet made itself heard. In view of such SUD- port, every present indication does seem 10 point to speedy ratification of the do- eument. Prospects, as they appear now, probably are brighter for favorable ac- &ion than ever has been true of any leg islation of comparable importance pend- hg before the Upper House.
 If there is any danger at all that ra- tification may be refused or blocked, 1t appears now to lie in the possibility of senatorial filibuster. There have been no surface indications as yet of such maneuver, but part of the strategy of filibuster sometimes is surprise. Most people understand the meaning Of the term, "filibuster," as applied to the Sen ate. It is a device employed by min ority hopeleSsly beaten to defeat the Will of the majority Filibusters are made possible under rule of procedure which allows unlimited Senate discussion and debate on any pending matter except when a "cloture" rule is adopted-and cloture rules are extremely difficult of adoption Without such rule, any Sen ator who might so desire would be per mitted to speak as long as he had strength to talk.
 This does not suggest that any such thing will happen in connection with the Charter Probably it won't happen. But It could happen, just as it has happened In the past A small handful of Senators could block-literally talk to death such a measure even though all their colleagues and the vast majority Of the people might be demanding it. So, while the Senate-and the nation-are think ing of the Charter, isn't it time to give thought also to remedying conditions un- der which filibusters not merely are pos sible, but are of relatively frequent oc- currence? Even if the Charter is ap- proved, is it to the national interest to retain conditions under which it, as in the cast of all legislation in future, might be blocked by vocal and long-winded minority?
