GUSHING:
Defends Self

With death staring him in the
face. pale and grim Vidkun Quisling
was pictured as a constructive Eu-
ropean statesman. and passionate
foe of Bolshevism by his counsel
Henrik Bergh during the closing
stages of the celebrated treason
trial in Oslo, Norway.
Though no political disciple of
the notorious collaboration, lawyer
Bergh depicted Quisling as an ideal
istic eccentric, who, while contact
ing Hitler in 1889, also commu-
nicated with Chamberlain in an eff
fort to bring about peace between
Germany. Britain and France.
Bergh attributed the collaborator's
sympathy with the Nazi occupation
of 1910 to a desire to prevent Nor
way becoming a battle-ground like
Poland through a British landing and
subsequent German counterattack.
First sympathetic to communism
while doing relief work in Russia
in 1923, Quisling changed his atti-
tude in 1880 upon seeing mass inn
prisonments, starvation and plaques
in the soviet, Bergh said.

JAP RESETTLEMENT:
Lift Coast Ban

OF 10000 persons Of japanese
ancestry, who were removed from
the Pacific coast following Pearl
Harbor, only 5000 will return with
the lifting Of the ban against their
resettlement there, U. S. relocation
authorities predicted.
Out Of the 10000 removed, about
10000 have found new homes In
other sections of the country, where
they have entered a variety Of in
dustries ranging from matchmaking
to mechanical dentistry and proven
their efficiency and trustworthiness.
Another so, 900 have remained in re-
location camps.
With feeling running high against
Japanese-Americans in some Pacif-
ic coast communities, Maj. Gen. H.
c. Pratt, commander of the western
defense zone, called upon residents
there to accord resettlers the same
privileges Of other law-abiding citi-

SURPLUS GOODS:
Sales Policy

Hoping to speed the turnover Of
material and permit wider distribu-
ton among dealers during the i'm
mediate period of scarcity, the de-
partment Of commerce reported that
most surplus war goods would now
be sold on a fixed price basis rather
than sealed bids.
The department revealed its poll
cy change at the same time that it
announced 300 million dollars worth
of material is being made avail
able to wholesalers and retail
ers, with items including chicken
wire, trucks and other vehicles,
hardware, shotguns and shells.
Under the new selling plan, mate
rial will be disposed of to whole
salers and retailers under OPA cell
ings, with allowances for profit mar
gins. Thirty days credit win be ex-
tended. An estimated 80 per cent of
dollar volume Of all surplus sales
will fall under the new pricing
policy.

Strikes Interfere

In the first serious work stoppage
in the reconversion period, produc-
ton was cut sharply at the Ford
and Hudson automobile plants fol-
lowing a variety Of labor disputes.
In Washington, D. c., the govern
ment remained in close touch with
the situation, in keeping with Presi-
dent Truman's avowed determlna-
ton to prevent a reconversion SLOW
down through labor differences.
At Ford's, over $4,000 workers
were laid off as a result of strikes
at parts suppliers' plants, with the
walkout Of 4,500 employees Of the
Kelsey : Hayes Wheel company over
the discharge of union stewards
chiefly interfering with production.
The stewards had been fired for in
stigating a brawl with a foreman.
Curtailment of production at Hud-
sons followed the walkout Of 5000
workers in sympathy with 500 fore
men striking in protest over a re-
duction of wartime wage rates.

Average Citizen
Has Answer to
National Welfare

There is considerable difference
Of opinion with regard to the atti-
tude civilians will take during the
next few months. Their attitudes
will largely determine whether we
have a recession of several months
duration and the extent of the re-
covery from suchsa recession. One
group thinks that in spite of lower
incomes, based on a shorter work
week, civilians will have more
leisure and spend more.
This group would expect a brisk
trade based on free spending. I'M
portant segments Of the federal gov
eminent would seem to favor pol
icies that would lead to free spend
ing accompanied by what might be
termed controlled initiation. The
other group expects people to be
cautious and unwilling to spend their
accumulated savings. What will
happen probably will be determined
by the extent and promptness with
which civilian industry absorbs the
millions Of men being discharged
from war industries, those Temporal
rily idle, and the discharged men
from the armed services.
The committee for economic de-
velopment has issued a report which
gives business mems estimates of
postwar markets for manufactured
goods. These estimates are opti-
mistic. The committee points out
that the postwar years can roughly
be divided into three periods: first,
short period of r~econversion, which
may last through 1916; second, from
1916 or early 1947, for a year of
deferred orders, and the last, period
Of self-sustaining.
Although Secretary Anderson in
dicated that meat rationing was on
the way out, possibly matter Of
months, storage stocks are relatively
low, and it is expected that the
strong demands for meats will be
maintained long enough to absorb
the rather heavy movement of cattle
and hogs that is anticipated during
the fall and early winter months.
Range conditions have been excel
lent, and cattle men report that the
ranchers are in a mood to carry
larger than normal supplies of range
cattle owe winter rather than to sell
them at substantial discounts now.

A Good lnsecticide
For Postwar Home
Brig. Gen. Simmons, army medi-
cal corps has said, "DDT will ex-
coed eve penicillin in its ultimate
usefulness and will prove to be the
outstanding medical advance made
during the war;"
One of the newest products is a
paint containing DOT to be used on
walls of kitchens. dining rooms and
in institutions. Other Industrial
uses have been found by busting
with a 10 percent DOT powder
around the sink and other places
where cockroaches and other insects
stay.
DOT will eliminate the bedbug
problems In hospitals, as well as in
private dwellings. 1t may be appli-
ed as a five percent spray or as a
10 percent powder to both sides of
the mattress and springs. 1t also
provides freedom from flies and
mosquitoes in hospitals. The new
aerosol bomb, which releases the
DOT as an aerosol-a cross between
a fumigating gas and an ordinary fly
spray, is excellent for this purpose.
A power spray may be used in ap-
plying a five percent DOT solution.
Just as it is proving effective on
the agricultural and Industrial front.
and as it saved lives on the war
fronts, DOT has started to con
tribute to the health of the home
front. The story Of spraying for
mosquitoes against malaria is well
known.
Painting door and window screens
with a five percent solution of DOT
In water or kerosene leaves an in
secticidal residue that will kill ev-
cry fly, mosquito, Or other insect
lighting there within the next sew
eral months, the U. S. department
Of agriculture reports.
A five percent solution of DOT in
kerosene sprayed on floors or over
rugs eliminates the flea nuisance. A
hand sprayer is adequate. By spray
ing deep into cracks, DOT will re-
main toxic to these insects for sew
eral weeks.
A ten percent powder applied to
cracks with a small hand buster can
be depended to kill any brown dog
ticks that may be hiding there.
Baseboards, especially those that
have worked loose from the wall. af-
ford excellent breeding places for
bedbugs, cociIroaches, and brown
dog ticks. DOT is sure death to
these pests. A hand sprayer, held
close to the opening, will send the
insecticide, a five percent solution
in kerosene, down where the insects
are concealed, or : large buster, of
10 percent powder may be used.
