Slashes Throat
With Razor

Henry Watson, %, of Perryville,
was taken into custody charged with
malicious destruction of property.

with razor blade. He was removed
to Union Hospital where medical aid
was given.
His condition not being considered
critical, he was later brought back to
the local prison. He evidently got
hold of another razor blade and
this time used it more effectively. He
was again removed to the hospital
where his condition is reported SER
ious.

 Two Wars. They Cannot Be

 June 10. i94s.
 Waterbury. Conn. Editor of The Democrat;
 Within one generation two devas- tating world wars have killed or injured one hundred and fOrty-iive million people. These wars have cost more than 1000 billion dollars. The casualties have numbered more people than live in the United States, and The money spent iOf human slaughter makes our na- tional lebt look like small item.
 The spiritual losses cannot ne counted. But 1t Is safe to assume that the whole world has suffered great brutalixing effects. Not only have the finer senslhilities of man and women been dulled, but many Of ,lS seemed to have been robbed of the power of reason. We are in need of spiritual re-htTth t0 re- store us to sanity and to renew our faith in mankind,
 The United states. which was, until drawn into the conflicts. a fine example of . peaceful nation, is now becoming war-like, We know the facts and figures; We know that war Is Q game of international sin. Moreover VIC are tn p0sses- sion of terrible weapons of destFuc- ton and more are tn the ofttng.
 No country on earth Is tn any position to go to war with us, and yet we are flinging our weight around, enthusiastically Speaklns' Why? All ol this is dangerous, and might lead tO the total destruction of what has been left standing ot our civilization, The next war-M 1t e0meS-will see people blown to atomic bits, or die horrible creep. ing deaths from handmade plaques and maehine-spread diseases. The lesson is plain; WE HAVE TO PREVENT ANY FUTURE WORLD WAR WE HAVE TO DO TT BY CULTIVATING PEACE, FOR WE CANNOT END WAR BY WAR,
 As the result of the last two world wars, We in America are g0- ins round and round in jungle Of fears, hates, diStrllSls and iR- lernatiOnal int0leraneeS, We are em0tionally disturbed, We talk about uniting with our neighhoE nations tO end war ana n the same breath we talk of the need of larger expenditures for the armed services and the need Oi aettiNs tough Yet We know, when reason penetrateS, that the next war Wlll wipe us out completely,

 Reason for the inner-cabinet opposition to Sny- der is that other cabinet members have seen him work elose-hand. have witnessed Foo many tragic mtstakes
 Hannegan. for instance. has tried SO many times to ease Snyder out of the White House because of hts errors that Truman once instructed Hannegan that the question of Snyder vas taboo.

 One of Johns worst blundeFs was to promise price increase to the steel industry without first getting a commitment that industry would raise wages This one moment of "Snyderixine" prolonged the steel strike for several weeks and cost the nation millions
 This a why conservative Senators shudder al the thought of putting the delicate problems oi American finance tn the fumbling hands Of John Snyder.
