$50 NyIons Sold;
Owners Breathe
Sigh Of Relief

(From Yesterdays Last Edition.
In the interest of life, limb and
the plate-glass windows In their q
street store, the owner of the Lib
erty Ensemble Shop early today sold
the last Of their $50 pairs of nylons
without announcing the sale -and
breathed vast sighs of relief.
Fearing recurrence of the near
riot which brought out the police
reserves to handle 1000 nylon-hun-
cry women at their well-advertised
Monday night sale of 1000 pairs of
hose, the co-managers decided to
throw in the towel this morning.
Albert Glider and Arnolds Watts,
who run the store at 1900 G street
NV, put their $50 pairs of f1ylons
on the block early this morning and
they went like hot cakes in slightly
less than three-quarters of an hour.
No pushing, no showing, very short
line and no casualties in the plate
glass window department. The only
policeman present was the one on
the beat when he strolled by.

is little difference between the ma
tjonalist and the communist elements,
so far as democratic principles are con-
cerned.
Were it not for the fact that a COM
munist is the same wherever he may
be, and despite Russia's repeated dec
laration that China's communism has
nothing in common with Russia's, there
could be no sound reason for American
support of the nationalist government.
Whatever other reasons this govern
ment may have for backing Chang,
probably the basic reason is that there
is hope the nationalist regime may ulti-
mately find it's way to a sound demo-
cratic formula of living or at least do
away with the practices that keep it
out of the democratic group of nations.

All Gods chillun got shoes, but how
long they'll have 'em is something else
again. With winter coming on, too!
A Civilian Production Administration
official forecasts q 20 per cent reduc-
ton in production during October, and
he adds that shoe industry representa-
tives predict some factories will have
to close if the leather shortage con-
tinues.
Production dropped to 40, 000,0 900
pairs in September, which was ten mil
lion less than a previous estimate, and
far below the need.
It's all because all Gods chillun amt
got meat The leather shortage paral-
lels the meat shortage. AS cattle slaugh-
tering decreases hides are scarcer, tan
neries can't treat 'em as they have to
be treated to make leather, and so
shoes are wearing out, like auto tires
did during the war, only it's the soles
of feet instead of cotton fabric on the
pavement.
Almost every day we hear that Presi-
dent Truman is hunting for meat. If
he doesn't have a little success pretty
soon, none of Gods chillun are going
to have shoes at all and must take to
swathing their feet in burlap when cold
weather comes, unless burlap too follows
the dodo bird into oblivion.
Maybe Mr.. Wallace, who knows about
so many things and is anything but
tlmid when it comes to talking, will
lay off MIR. Baruch long enough to tell
us how to be reshod when leather is
exhausted.

May Be Sabotage

Industrial explosions, plane and train
wrecks, with the blast in the Sun Oil
plant at Marcus Hook the latest dis
aster, are multiplying so rapidly it is
impossible, to discount the probability
Of sabotage.
Not all the planes that crash run into
mountains in bad weather. Not all train
wrecks are traceable to worn out equip
ment and trackage. Nor is it likely
the Marcus Hook explosion resulted
from spontaneous combustion.
There is no reason to doubt that
members of known subversive elements
in the population, bent on destroying
the American way of life and of gov
eminent, are sufficiently fanatical to
start industrial plant fires o. place time
bombs in factories, elk" planes to dive
after taking off and work on coaches,
freight cars or tracks so that trains
cannot escape being wrecked.

Japan had lost its significance in

Russia's allies
prince Konoye was received in
audience by the Emperor July II,
l945, and ordered to SO to Moscow.
On the following day the foreign
office notified Moscow that the
Emperor was deslrous of peace and
that Konoye would be sent to Rus
STA in that connection No re-
ply was forthcoming but it was
hoped by the Japanese government
that Premier Stain and Foreign
Minister Molotov would transmit
to Britain and the United States
at the Potsdam conference Japan's
desire to discuss peace -.
On August 8 Ambassador Sato
had arranged a meeting with Molo-
tov to receive an answer to the me
diation proposal. The meeting was
held but instead of an answer from
the Big Three, Molotov informed
Sato of Russia's decision to enter
the war against Japan -.
THE historic meeting (of the
cabinet and other leaders, Aug. IA
opened with a review of develop
ments by the prime minister, after
which tae chiefs of the Army, Navy
general Stats and the War minis
ter appealed to the Emperor to in
sist on additional confirmation of

the war:

the uncomfortable and suffer the in

In 1897 came a discovery that

led the way to- greater hauls. A
vast and virtually inexhaustlble
mine of big shrimp was found
in Gulf waters a few miles of the
Louisiana coast.
Scientists knew that microscopic

summer. Growing to a length OF
as much as five inches in a few
months, they disappear at spawn

their seward journey, they reach
the shoals that are their retire

sometimes growing to jumbo size

Thus, offshore trawling for these
big prawns may not have depleting
