Sgt. Eddie Hughes
Banana Split Champ

Through long weary months over
seas, some of them spent in a Brit
ish hospital recovering from war
wounds, Sgt. Eddie Hughes, Mones-
sen, Pa, dreamed banana splits. Par
ticularly the big, watering
kind he used to get at the drug store
in his home town.
Back home from the war, Hughes
made a bee line for that drug store,
and ordered up.
And they put together a super spe-
cial for him: On large meat plat
ter, they arranged 10 bananas, two
quarts of ice cream, quart of fruit
salad, and marshmallow and choco-
late syrup, diced pineapple, nuts
cherries and whipped cream galore

Georgia Congressman Proposes
Cooling Off, Fact-Finding
Period in Walkouts

Washington, Oct. 21-A new plan
to ease labor unrest was projected in
congressional quarters tonight on the
eve of an expected presidential state
ment on the wage price issue.
The plan, advanced by Rep. RAM
speck, Democrat of Georgia, MAJOR
ity party whip and acting chairman
of the House labor &C - littee, would
bar strikes during compulsory
cooling off, fact-finding" period. 1t
would be patterned after the present
working relationship of the railroad
brotherhoods with management and
the government.
In line with his already-stateG pol
icy of encouraging wage increases
that do not force higher prices, Pres
ident Truman was reported ready to
emphasize collective bargaining rath-
er than government controls.
Mr.. Truman said last week he
planned to express his views soon,
and he has been comforting with his
advisers on the subject as we'll as
with the president of one of the coun-
try's biggest employers, Charles E.
Wilson of General Motors Corp.
Ramspeck told reporter it would
be unconstitutional to prohibit strikes
entirely, as advocated by some
groups. He said he believed legisla-
tion could be adopted requiring:
l. If disputes cannot be settled by
collective bargaining the President
should name a three member impair
tial board to make a fact-finding
study and submit recommendations.
2. Strikes be forbidden during the
period the board is Investigating the
controversy.
3. The boards recommendations
should not be binding, but should be
stated forcefully so that public opin-
ion would be brought to bear on eth
er employees or employers, whichever
appeared to have the least justifica
tion for their stand.
"Under such a plan, which has
worked very well for the railroads
and the brotherhoods, the investiga-
ton period would allow plenty of
time for cooling off and the con-
troversy could be settled. on it's mer-
it's" Ramspeck said.
"The government can't compel a
man to work for another man, but
public opinion and clear under
standing of the facts can make him
see what is the right thing to do"

Says Hitler Looked Old And Broken When
He Announced Plans for Ardennes Offensive

before. The second hour outlined
the Ardennes offensive.
"Hitler said he had scraped to-
gether everything for this effort. If
it failed the war was lost. But it
could not fail. Gen. Manteuffel
would take Antwerp. Gen. Dietrich
would take Liege. We would neatly
bag Montgomery's 21st Army Group
The shock of losing a whole army
group would so discourage the United
States that America would become a
negligible factor in the war. Canada
would withdraw. And We shouldn't
worry about Allied fighter planes
Three thousand of the Luftwaffe
would clear the air for the Wehr
macht."
The attack did fail, and Bayerlei:

treat, formally surrendered April 16

President Truman is going to ask it

Both proposals are aimed at keep

tugged at them-to such an extent
that their legislative future is un-
certain.

Honor System
for
Working Well

After being used for several years
the honor system of assessing per-
sonal property has proved very sat
isfactory and more economical than
using a staff of field men," County
Assessor Archie G.. Bruce commented
this week.
The system is used throughout
Valley county, except at Fort Peck,
where the many shifts in residence
and population make it necessary to
cover the district with field men,
Mr.. Bruce said.
Blanks on which to record per-
sonal property, together with letters
of instruction, have been mailed to
all taxpayers of record in the asses
sor's office. Any taxpayer who has
failed to receive n is urged to
notify the assessor or make a return
personally at his office in the court
house.
The great majority of taxpayers
is very prompt in making returns.
However, there are some who neg
lect filling returns or fail to make
them" Mr.. Bruce added. The law
provides that the assessor must esti-
mate the value of property himself
if the owner neglects to make a re-

not use personal returns to
