 There is little doubt that President Trumans selection will meet with ready and widespread approval for Senator Burton while he is middle has exhibited sound evauaton the American system at the same time he shown longrange and lively interest in the welfare of our workers The B2H2 bill which he sponsored some three years ago Spearheaded the American information als The current BH2 bill calling for revision Of the Wagner Act met with some spontaneous criticism from Labor ranks it's authors give its purpose being desire to avert the serious danger of knockdown drag out fight between management and labor With that oo- jective there be little disagreement Senator Wagner himself calls the Burton appointment "a very fine selec- tion."

Views Of The Press

This can only mean that prehistoric Indians knew something of the ordinary living problems of families In Q metropolitan apartment house. It is unlikely that they had to worry about the walking of dogs or the parking of perambulators and bicycles; or had disputes over the use Of the laundry, or the minor difficulties associated with self-serv. Ice elevators. No inconsiderate use of loud radios disturbed the night air of those ancient apartment dwellings. Probably the tenants en- dured e few nuisanees Of another kind. Maybe little more digging in the ruins of San Carlos may bring to light an Indian guidebook to happy metropolitan life. Human nature being what 1t is, not a few city dwellerS of our age would And most satisfaction in learning that fellow tenants in prehistoric times were just about what they are to- day, neither better nor worse.

 Wars will continue, Sir Arthur said until there are some drastic changes in the human heart Those words ought to be locked in every human heart and pondered by every human mind They are not new words but they have been neglected and forgotten. Mankind IS building world police force which 1t hopes will control the crime of war. But mankind has never done much about eliminating the roots of the crime.
 Greed arrogance intolerance illustration, vengeance. Those the individual and personal emotions Of the human heart which, when combined and nflamed cause war Thus far neither religion education has wiped them out But it's about time the human race gave top place It's agenda to their eradication if men have any idea of making peace plenty and two chickens in every ace of the earth.
