CLAREMORE, Okla, Nov. l.
Will Rogers, Oklahoma's favorite
son whose droll wit and honey
philosophers endea-ed him to all
America, made his home town
famous-and the cowboys, Indians
and ordinary folk of Claremore
haven't forgotten it.
1t has been more than II years

with his flying pal, Wiley Post,
in an Alaskan airplane crash. But
on Monday, Nov. 4, the Claremore
folks have invited in the neighbors
to help them commemorate what

Last Sunday l attended service
in a large Canadian church. The

This phenomenon is all too COM

to sit up front, partly from modes

Imagine h e effect upon the

Talk about wooden" congre

When 1 was a y%oungster, ano

to come early to the Sunday eve

about getting the congregation to

More Wage Increases

AVAOA w ~
Before night there may be some in
dication of what John l.. Lewis pro-
poses to do about reopening the wage
question in the bituminous coal indus
try. His representatives were scheduled
to meet the governments coal mine adj
ministrator, Captain COLLISION, today,
and it depends entirely how abruptly
the Lewis %negotiators have been in
structed to get down to cases whether
they spring the trap at the start or
allow the conferences to drag on until
after Tuesdays elections.
Writing from Washington in the Wall
Street Journal S.. H. Sheibla on Wednes-
day said the Truman, administration
"plans to let John l.. Lewis set the
pattern for a new round of wage in
~creases," and adds:
"Top federal officials already are
talking Of awarding his miners increases
of between Is and 20. cents an hour.
They say the Government is determin-
ed to avert a coal strike and that a
new wage agreement with the mine
workers is the only answer.
"Officials of the Office of Recover
sion think that IS what was in Presi-
dent Truman's mind when he made the
flat statement that there will be no
coal strike.
president Truman has decided that
with the ending Of price controls the
Administration can no longer attempt
to block wage increases. The best the
Administration can hope is to delay
another round of pay boosts until after
the elections"
While this is one mans observation,
it has been apparent for some time that
John L. Lewis was determined to force
another advance in pay for miners, and
there is no reason to doubt that he will
be successful.
In this case the United States OBJ
%viously is in for another wave of wage
demands with Gripping strikes the only
alternative to refusal. clearinghouse
and part of auto industry workers are
already negotiating for more pay. OBJ
viously they will. demand as great an
advance as Lewis gets for the miners.
Pay troubles are already gathering over
the Chrysler plant. Federal policymak-
ers are hopeful that employees Of Gen.
eral Motors will postpone their demands
until the present contract expires in
February and that the United Steel
workers will do the same thing.
But even so February is not far off.
Lewis is preparing the way with his
customary thoroughness for them to
get what they want, at public cost and
with Gripping effect upon the. nations
industrial production.
The question that gives US pause is
when the vicious circle of wage demands
will stop expanding and where it will
lead the country # it does not stop. The
administration, which has knuckled
down to Lewis and other major union
leaders from the start, seems incapable
of looking far enough ahead to see that
if a halt is not brought to these de-
mands industry will face bankruptcy
a situation in which labor must suffer
as severely as capital.

QUESTION: What is the differ.
erce between Parkinson's Disease
and paralysis agitans?
ANSWER: There is no differ.
ence. Parkinson's Disease was
first described by James Parkia'
son in 1917. The common name
for it is paralysis agitans, because
of the shaking palsy which charac-
terizes it. The disease may be 50
slowly progressive that it may las.
for years without interfering with
