Dear Sir:
I am writing about an article
which appeared in last Thursdays
paper in your column, under Com
plants To Police" You wrote about
clothes that were stolen out OF a
mans closet.
You inferred 1t was an inside job.
Maybe 1t was, but the WIFE GER
tainly DID NOT have anything to
do with it. It's alright to write
such things but write the truth.
This is not the wife writing, but a
friend.
I think an apology is due from
the police department and also
from you.
(signed) THANK You"
Dear THANK You:
Thank you.

Dr. Spahr Needs ANew Textbook. Or New Outlook!
Fears Full Employment Would End Private Capi-
 talism in U s.

WASHINGTON-(FP)-A uni versity economist, picking up some odd change by representing the Natl. Assn. of State Chambers of Com merce, has advanced the quaint mo- tion that full employment cannot be maintained and still preserve private capitalism in the US.
 Dr. Walter E. Spahr of New York University was the speaker, appearing before the House execu- tive expenditures committee with the statement that the Truman in- dOrsed full employment bill is the 'bOldest attempt yet made to usher i'm federally controlled peace time economy.
 Continuing full employment can not be assured in a free society,"" Dr. Spahr opined. If this bill should be- come law, and should serious efforts be made to enforce it, the probable effect would be to discourage rather than encourage private enterprise and to decrease rather than to increase non-government employment"
 As to unions, the collegiate ex- pert said ''there is no reason for strikes. Labor should accept rea- sonable arbitration. If the results are not satisfactory, workers can quit." He failed to say what should be done if management refused to negotiate with labor.

White Collar Workers

This is especially true among skilled workers whose craft unions are firmly entrenched and make up the backbone of the American Fed eration of Labor. We believe that White-collar workers are also begin ming to learn the fundamental lesson that only in unions is there strength It is to these white-collar workers that we look for the largest gains in union membership during the next five years.
 The American Federation of La Dor has two new up-and-coming unions in the White-coIlar field. These are the International Chemi- cal Workers Union and the Office Employees International Union.
 The chemical industry is due for tremendous expansion and must widen employment. Our aggressive AT union is going to grow right along with the industry, because the work CTS will need the union to obtain the wage standards and working condi- tions to which the exacting and pains taking nature, of their jobs entitle them.

 stroy the organized labor move ment.
 "One of the great dangers this country faces" he continued" is the drive being prosecuted to divide our returning veterans and labor. This campaign is being carried on in an incidious form almost daily in the newspapers and over the radio.
 Tn view of the fact that organized laborS day-to-day activities help the veterans as much as any one, and ill view of our common interests, 1 be- lieve the campaign will be a failure.
 ''There is one important prOviso, however. In each community it is the duty of organized labor, through committees appointed for that purpose, to work closely with veterans organizations, and let them know of our campaign for minimum wages, for full employ ment, for extension of the CI Bill of Rights, and other matters which are of direct benefit to the veter- ans.
 ''If they have all the facts, and it is our responsibility to see to it that they have them, the enemies of labor will be defeated in this miserable and un-American under taking"

Says Co-ops Should
 Assume Leadership

Harrisburg, Pa.-Secretary of La Dor Lewis B. Schwellenbach, declares in a special article contributed to the Pennsylvania Coop Review that "co- operatives must assume leadership in pursuit of the art of living" If we are to be successful in the art of living" declared the Secretary of La Dor, I've must seek and find every method to induce the classes to sub merge themselves in the greater cause of the common good or the pub lie interest This is our unfinished business
 q may be pardoned when I say that that is the specific unfinished business of Cooperative organizations, because by their very nature and their charter they exist to cooperate" " Cooperative organizations of this country have a great opportunity to develop a common interest They should, and must, assume leadership now in pursuit of the art of living. That is our unfinished business"

Ten Million In AFL By 1850 -Fenton
Federation Is Now 7,OOOOOO Strong = White-Collar Workers Learning They Need Unions in Order to
 Make Progress

The membership of the American Federation of Labor is now seven mil lion strong. By 1850 we expect to pass the ten million mark.
 This information may not be relished by those who hope to see the trade union movement weak ened or destroyed in the postwar period. Many articles have been written about the effect of post war unemployment and lower pro- ductiOn upon union membership. Anti-labor propagandists argue that since union membership dropped sharply after the last war, it should enter similar tailspin now. That is just wishful think ing.
 First of all, it should be clear by now that the trade union movement is firmly established i'll America and is here to stay. Most employers have learned that it is bad business, be- sides being illegal, to fight unioniza tion of their workers. And mos workers have learned that they need a union to protect their interests an6 improve their conditions.

 All of the manufacturers with whom the union has agreements III Danbury were present, and partlci- pated in the discussion. They revealed a sympathetic understanding of the workers problems and a desire to cooperate. They expressed particular interest in the health insurance plan and requested additional information concerning the benefits that are paid and the administration of the funds which have already been established.
 At the conclusion of the confer ence the manufacturers declared that they would take the unions propos- als under consideration, and after conferring among themselves, they would give the union their reply.
 REQUESTS GRANTED
 A week later the local officers were informed that the request of the un- ion for both the wage increase and the health benefit fund had been ap- proved by them, and that the wage increase would become effective the following Monday, October s. In some of the shops the health benefit system was announced immediately, and in others the details were to be worked out shortly.
 SENSATION IN TOWN
 News of the union manufacturers favorable response to the unions re- quest spread quickly throughout the Danbury district. It brought wide spread satisfaction not only to the workers involved but also to the com munity, which will be the beneficiary of any plan by which the purchasing power of the workers IS maintained.
 To the non-uniOn employers it brought grave concern. They had granted the workers some cOnces- sions during the war when they were trying desperately to retain their workers and keep them from going into union shops. But these concessions were made under the compulsion of economic conditions and the labor shortage. There being no organization of their workers to retain these concessions, the non.union employer had no in- tention of continuing them any longer than economic necessity compelled them to do so. The sue- cess of the union in making fur ther advances while nOn-uniOn employers were talking of return ing to ''normalcy," which means lower wage standards, ought to go a long way toward organization work.
 THE VERY FREE PRESS
 The local Danbury newspaper failed to print a word about the new agree ment. The news got around fast enough, even though the Danbury pa per remained silent.
 Dennis Carroll summed up the at titude of the union workers with the statement, "The Mao, Hatters are not mad any more"

The state-by-state picture:

The State-by-state picture:
 Indiana-the Ohio neared the TO- foot mark at Aurora about 16 feet above flood level. Transportation was snarled and factories closed in low-lying areas. Some 5000 families had been evacuated.
 Ohio-The worst of the flood ap- peared over. State guardsmen and volunteers expected to save Ports mouths downtown business section. At least 20,00 were homeless.
 Kentucky-River towns prepared for their worst siege of the three day flood. Volunteers re-informed barricades and evacuated families to higher ground. Jeffersonville and Paducah hoped to hold out behind weak flood walls.
 West Virginia-Cris had been weathered except in small south western portion, near ParkerSburg and Huntington. Some 1000 per- sons still unable to return to their homes in the Wheeling Area.
 Pennsylvania-The river at Pitts burgh was reported at normal level. Workers began to return to their war jobs. The Red Cross reported it was feeding approximately $50 families in the Pittsburgh district and that 2,O00 families had fled their homes.
 Illinois-The Army stood on guard to open a spillway if the water hit 65 feet at Cairo. where the Ohio joins the Mississippi. In long range forecast, the Coast Guard predicted Q 54-foot crest. The city was considered safe. however, be- hind a 60-foot floodWall.

Gas Delivery Is Disrupted

New York. March 9.-(UP)-The east coast faced another disruption of oil, gasoline and kerosene de- liveries today as floods on the Ohio and Mississippi rivers caused a re- duction of deliveries and a slow down in transportation.
 Ralph K. Davis, deputy petroleum administrator, said that stocks along the Atlantic seaboard are sufficient to enable oil suppliers to meet the essential needs of consumers. Flood ing of the Cincinnati and Pittsburgh railroad yards means that through trains will have to be re-routed to other lines already overburdened with traffic.
 Pipe line operations were unham- pered by flood conditions, so far. Davies said, but he said there was concern that erosion of river banks might occur at river crossing points and cause lines to buckle or break. Crews of the Big Inch and Little Big Inch were alerted to the danger, he said.

 Parsell was alone with the men when the disturbance started, and he was struck down in sn attempt to prevent the escapes.
 The shouts of the prisoners att tracted the attention of other guards and general alarm was sounded
 Walker said that demands were made that everyone in the machine shop give himself up. Ten men walked out of the building, he said, but the others defied the order and barricaded themselves in the room. When the tear gas was released, they made dash for freedom and a guard brought down one of the men with a gun blast. The other two then were overpowered
 Parsell, dying, was ofund on the shop floor and was removed to a Hartford hospital where he died soon afterWard.
 Walker said that all 13 men would be exhaustively questioned as to who struck the fatal blow. When the responsibility was determined, he said, complete details of the riot would be reelased.
 The Warden indicated that charges would be brought only against three inasmuch as the other ten had tried to prevent" the out break.

RomuIo, Wife Are Reunited
By H. D. QUIGG

Manila, March 0- CU.P0 - Car los P. Momulo, resident commis- sioner of the Philippines, was re- united with his wife and children today after a separation since the fall of Bataan.
 The reunion resulted from dar- ing rescue by his son Carlos, Jr., 19, who went 9 miles through Jap~ anese lines to bring his mother and three brothers to safety. Mrs Romulo and her sons, Ro- bert, 6, Dick, II. and Gregorio, IT, were guarded by 160 Filipino guer- rillas on an isolated LuZon moun- tain top.
 Carlos, Jr., also a guerrilla, made his way to them with word that they were to be rescued by plane. Overnight the guerrillas built small landing strip for cub planes.
 The next morning four cub planes evacuated Mrs. Romulo the two younger boys and Romulo's brother-in-law, Pelayo Llamas. Carlos, Jr., remained behind with Gregorio who was suffering from malaria. A few days later, dressed as peasants, they made their way out on horseback.
 Romulo disclosed that the Jap anese beat his 84 year old mother with rifle butts and broke her leg when they found his picture in her house at Camiling.
 Two of his brothers were impri- soned by the Japanese for 40 days. One had all of his teeth knocked out and the other is unable to walk now because of the Japanese kicking his back and kidneys, Ro- mulo said.

another crossing attempt appeared to be in the making at the Univers- ity city of Bonn. First Army Inc fantrymen cleared practically the entire city by daybreak today after 24-hour street battle and broke through to the west bank of the Rhine in and on both sides of Bonn, Radio Paris said the city already had fallen.
 Bad GOdesburg Cleared
 Bad Godesburg, three miles south of Bonn, and the site of an 'appease- ment conference" between Adolf Hitler and the late British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain in 1888. also was cleared of all but a handful of Nazi rear guards early today.
 Meanwhile, Patton's raInpaging Fourth Armored Division was ex. plotting to the hit it's 60-mile break through to the Rhine north of Co., blenZ.
 German military Spokesmen said the Tanks were storming Coblenz, apparently hoping to capture intact the great Herman Goering bridge which spans the Rhine there. Off, ficial reports from the partially blacked out Fourth Division, how ever. said only that the Tanks were pushing north along the Rhine bank to the Andernach area, nine miles north of Coblenz and 10 miles south of Linz
 Patton,s men captured Kurft, Ket- tig, Miesenheim. Bassenheim and Muelheim, lying in a rough arc three to ten miles west and northwest Of Coblenz.
 Coblenz itself was within artil- lery range of the American and front reports indicated the Tanks already were shelling the city. oc- cupied by the U. s. Third Army at the close of World War One.
 A quick crossing of the Rhine on the Third Army front apparently hinged on whether the Americans could capture the Hermann Goering bridge or the Grown Prince Wilhelm railroad bridge at Fingers, midway between CoblenZ and Andernach.
 Both spans were still intact early today, although the Goering bridge had been heavily damaged by Allied bombs
 Patton also was moving powerful Armored and Infantry forces east ward through the Eifel mountains on either flank of the rolling Fourth Armored, widening and deepening his salient
