Clean Generators


There are a number of ways to
clean or renew the generators OF
gas pressure stoves. heaters and
urn burners so that they function
like e ones insofar as service or
operation is concerned. The most
successful method Of removing the
carbon is to disassemble the gen.
orators and pass the parts through
a solution of saltpeter which has
been made liquid by heating TO a
temperature of about 1000 degrees.
The generator parts. when treated in
this manner. come out entirely free
Of carbon. and when reassembled
the generator works like new. This
method. of course, can only be used
when the generator renewal vol
m is great enough to justify the
expense.

GERMANY:

With French obstruction to Allied
plans for a central administration
for Germany resulting in the eco.
nomic breakup Of the Reich and diff
ficu1ties for a restoration Of nor
malcy. the u. S. was asked to study
the advisability Of revising the Pots

try to its present course.
In urging re-examination Of
U. S. occupation policies. Byron
Price. former director Of the Office
Of censorship who undertook spe.
cial mission to Europe for Presi-
dent Truman, declared that the Ger
man people were nursing old and
new hatreds with increasing bitter
ness as their sufferings increased
and disposing themselves to what
ever new, leadership desperation
may produce.
With German agriculture and in
dustry seriously impaired during
the closing stages Of the war, Price
said the U. S. must also decide
whether to deliver foodstuffs to the
country to prevent starvation and
epidernics this winter and in this
manner help remove some causes
for unrest.

u. S. DIPLOMACY:
DupLicity CHARGED

Long under fire for its implement
tation of American foreign policy in
the wake of U. S. victories on the
battlefield, the state department
was scheduled for congressional in
vestigation following ex-Amb. Pat
rick Hurlcy's charge that some Of
its personnel had worked counter to
his efforts to promote the uni
fication of China.
In loosing his bombshen on Capt.
toll Hill, Hurley declared that GER
tain professional diplomats were in
wiling future conflict by siding with
the Chinese communist party and
the imperialistic bloc of nations in
keeping China divided against
itself and unable to resist encroach-
ment.
While he worked for democratic
China which could act as stabilizing
influence in the Orient, Hurley
charged, some state department Of
ficials told the Chinese communists
that his activities did not reflect the
policy of the U. S. and they should
not enter into a unified government
unless retaining military control.
Agreement to investigate the
state department followed the de-
mand of Senator Wherry (Rep.,
Neb.) for an inquiry to determine
whether there was any variance be-
tween U. S. foreign policy and the
Potsdam declaration and whether
the foreign service was interfering
with domestic affairs in South
America. influencing other coun-
tries toward communist govern
ment, or clashing with the army
and navy over occupation policy.
Meanwhile, Gen. George c. Mar.
shall, ex-chief of staff, prepared to
embark upon his duties as special
envoy to China in the midst of
Chang Kai-shek's redoubling Of eff
forts to unity the country and open
the way for vigorous postwar eco
nomic expansion. In announcing his
program to modernize the country,
Chang declared the No. goal
would be the Improvement Of trans
portation to facilitate an exchange

LABOR:
On Defensive

Heretofore on the offensive with its
demands for higher wages to main
tain high wartime pay, the CLIO was
suddenly thrown back on the de-
fensive with the Ford Motor COM
pany's proposal that the United
Automobile workers pay a SIS day
fine for workers involved in I'M
authorized strikes.
Ford asked for this protection
against production losses as officials
continued negotiations with the
JAW, whose leaders have main
tanned that the industry can afford
80 per cent pay boosts without rails
ing prices because of large re-
serves and promises of substantial
profits from huge postwar output.

Gals insisted that the union could
exert sufficient pressure on its To-
Gals to prevent unauthorized strikes,
slowdowns and controlled produc-
ton.
Meanwhile, General Motors, re-
versing a previous stand, agreed to
consult with government officials
concerning resumption Of negotia-
tons with the UAW after the union
gave ground in its demands for 30
per cent wage increase. With the
company holding out for modifica-
ton of terms, the UAW declared
that it would seek no wage increase
necessitating a rise in prices.
With the work stoppages in G. M.
plants threatening to paralyze prac-
tically all of the automobile indus
