 It is characteristic of Lewis that he gives no heed to the public interest He rejoices in strike which makes upward of 50OO00 idle ties up 5000 ships and freezes 5000 railway needed desperately for the movement of grain and other vital traffic else where in the nation. Yet always, he is grinding a personal
 Lewis welcomes the defiance of the governments s effort to adhere to wage ceiling. He welcomes 1t in spirit of vengeance because in the past the wage Stabizaton plan has restrained him somewhat in his ever-increasing demands for more money for the United Mine Workers But more practically, he welcomes the development because he knows if the wage stabilization program is upset powerful unions can make the sky the limit in their wage demands and he knows that the United Mine Workers under his absolute domination could enforce almost any wage increase demand
 So let no one suppose that John L. Lewis ndulged himself in idle gesture of generosity toward the striking seafarers Lewis opportunity to invest little money toward purchase of the privilege of gouging the nations coal to his hearts content

French Strikes
Washington PoSt)

Washington Post
 The heartening of economic recovery which France has made since her liberation and par tcuary during the past six months is menaced by strike movement which while still limited threat ems to get out of hand Some days ago the employees of the Ministry Finance quit their jobs when their demand for an increase in wages rejected Since government workers are among the most poorly paid workers in France and since France has had as little success in keeping prices of necessities down we have-the French black market flourshes like green bay tree-the demand of these government workers has much to recommend it. But government oftcials as well as trade-union officials realize that the wage-price spiral is allowed to gain any momentum. there may be no stopping the infatonary trend with the ultimate result that Frances recovery might be seriously retarded
 Thus while last spring. wages were boosted an average 25 per the cabinet has sought to avoid
 further increases until the production level has reached
 point sufficiently high to remove the threat of nta- ton Finance Minister Robert Schumann for instance has conceded the justice of the wage increases which workers in his department asked for But he has urged them defer until next January by which time, he hopes an adjustment will be possible without danger to Frances economic situation But his pleas are apparently falling on deaf ears.
 The strike of the Finance Ministry employees IS spreading Even the Paris police are now threatening to walk out the police of Marseille Lyon and other French cities. Thus at the very moment when France appears be winning its battle of production the average level of industrial production IS now well above 75 per cent of prewar with the level in certain industries such coal, beyond prewar-a serious crisis threatens. For if the demands of the government workers are met, it will be very difficult to reject similar demands by workers in private enter prses Thus Frances lackadasical and even tolerant attitude toward the black market in food clothing and other necessities, is now rising to plague her

HEATHER LANE K MARRIED;UkI0UE
 STORY K TOLD

Folks. do you remember Heather Lane, She was the operatic star that was featured and made hig hit when the Bubble Room at the Baranof was first opened.
 Well. she is married, and resid- ing in Billings. Montana. and she tells about it most uniquely in a little announcement, as follows, received by MT and Mrs. Tom Dy- CT:
 "Once upon a time, many years ago. there was a school teacher, a man of letters, who wrote, for pas time, about Alaska. And, when he wasn't teaching or writing, or do- ing a hundred and one things, he must have been out fishing, advis- ing ways to get ahead Of a tall good natured oil man and his wife. And that is how the mea- surfing stick for fish came into be- ing.
 "So time went on The teacher moved away, the oil man and his wife moved One day the teacher went to sea-became an officer in charge of a ships safety. He sailed along the West Coast and out into the Pacific-Okinawa Tinian, Sai- pan, Eniwetok, etc, but came home finally-and married a girl he had known for a couple of years, and mutual surprise to find they know the same people-Standard Oils baritone and his wife.
 The eX-teacher. ex-Sailor and his wife are very happy and they are building his business all over again-and together"
 The couple is MT. and Mrs. Paul Garrett and to let you in on the mutual surprise" in the letter = Garrett knew the Dyers when the latter were stationed at Kodiak. Mrs. Garrett (Heather) knew them in Juneau. Funny, what little world this is and what delightful things really occur

THE IGNORANT VOTER

According to a survey conducted by an eastern newspaper the most dominant political issue before the November Congressional elections is in the shortage of meat the table. This it seems to us is
 sad commentary upon the intelligence of the average voter With the world just emerging from the most terrible of wars, with difficult economic adjustments to make at home and abroad, the threat of atomic destruction and the civil war of labor vs capital-t seems that there is plenty here for much more important election issues.
 recent Gallup poll found that 53 per cent of the American people don't know how many years their Representative to Congress in term or office A former Representative in Alaskas Leg isature to brag that the voters of his division were dumb that they thought he was going all the way to Washington, D. C.. when they elected him to office He could have been right. However, they defeated him in the recent election so enough of his constituents must have known what he doing

SPANISH WAR SURPLUS

As if there weren't enough head aches in disposing of surplus goods from this war, the War Assets Ad- mlnistration recently had to un- load some ancient horse-draWn am- balances used in the Spanish Am erican war.
 The problem finally was solved hy removing the wheels and paint ing the bodies in delicate pastel tints.
 PreSto-the relics were converted into gay cabanas and bathing shel- ters for Seashore resorts. They sold like hotcakes.
 American ingenuity also is tind- ing practical applications for other surplus war items, including ann munltlon cartons. Some young la dies would be surprised to learn that the box now containing How CTS from an admirer once contained bullets. Florists are buying am mo cartons by the hundreds.

friendly farmers by riding on a corn picker
 However, he caused an even big ger sensation when he volunteered to wash the dishes after meal in the home of his hosts. the par ents of 2l-year-old Roger Newburn of Webster City, Iowa. Roger is the All club member who invited the Ambassador to the tall-corn country during a meeting at the British Embassy in Washington last August.
 Rogers father held his breath while the British envoy rode the front end of his corn picker, dan gerous machine that slashes and shucks the ears from cornstalks.
 Later Mrs. Newburn was worried when the Ambassador insisted on washing the dishes after dinner at the NeWburn home.
 T wouldn't think of letting you uo that, said Mrs. NeWburn.
 Why not?e replied the Ambassa- dor I'm perfectly capable And a guest should do his share ol the household work
 "Oh, it isn't that" said Mrs. Newburn. We take this English china out only for special occa- sions I'm afraid you may break it."

 David Lilienthal, Chairman of he Board of Consultants to the State Department Committee on Atomic Energy and Chairman, IVA: "The successful develop ment of atomic energy was a tri- umph of the powers of human im- agination and faith over mems les ser talents. We are now in a race against time-already decades, by older standards, have elapsed since Hiroshima-to find ways to put atomic energy to work for human welfare and eliminate it's use for de- l Struction. In this race we shall fail utterly unless again we realize that it is the powers of imagination and faith upon which we must build our plans for atomic development and control"
 Margaret Mead, anthropologist, American Museum of Natural His tory: Our best hope of meeting the challenge of the atomic discov- cries is to recognize that they in- troduce a major qualitative change in human history which must be met by major social inventions These must include organizational progress toward world authority elimination of war, changes in tech niques of economic distribution and methods of continual evaluation and regulation of social change in the interest of the lives of men The greatest danger is that we may cling to obsolete ideas, seeing the bombs as just another weapon ano the steps toward world organiza- ton as just more power politics.

Unions Back Coop Housing

The AFL. and the C.1.O. today stood united behind proposal that a survey be made of the field for cooperative housing projects for local veterans The plan, proposed by John J. Driscoll, State CI.O. sec- retary. has been endorsed by Tim othy M. Collins, president of the Connecticut Federation of Labor.
 A public meeting of veterans or ganizations and individual service men on cooperative housing is eX- pected to be one of the results of a meeting of the Waterbury Housing Authority at the Waterbury Club Wednesday afternoon at 5. The au- thority will hear George Gault, sec retary of a veterans housing CO., operative now in operation in West Haven
 Several authority members favor i inviting MT. GauIt to return at a later date to address a public meet ing, which might lead to plans for veterans cooperative housing plan here,
 We'll go right along with the CIO on this proposal" " said MT Collins. Housing is the worst head ache the community has to face It's damned shame to force re- turning veterans to live in old trol- ley cars and in spare rooms
 The Housing Authority, though not necessarily sponsoring any plar for cooperative housing projects is understood to be ready to giv' all possible aid to veterans group wishing to enter that field.

Princeton Calls Brains
 To Bicentennial Farley

Princeton, N j., Aug. 6-(UP)- A better peek into what the atomic age has in store for the world may come from a series of conferences starting here next month.
 It is the beginning of Princeton Universitys bicentennial celebra- ton, which under plans announced today by President Harold Willis Dodds, might be called a world symposium.
 More than 1000 scholars and fig ures of world prominence will par ticipate in the celebration beginning Sept. 9. They will include many of those scientists who pooled their mental resources to make mans most destructive weapon. This time, they will be blending and eX- changing their ideas on how to make this world get along with the atomic age.
 Is Nations Invited
 At least 15 nations and 3oO American colleges and universities will be represented in the program that will continue for nine months to be climaxed next June Wher President Truman comes to thl! beautiful campus of historic anc ivy-covered halls to receive an hon. orary degree.
 The universitys bicentennial vii be dedicated to the reconsideration of the new and pressing obliga' tions imposed upon the world O. learning by this crucial moment 1T the history of human affairs, President Dodds said
