NNENTS ELECTRIC
LOCk-PICkER, BUT
HE WON'T SELL. IT

CHATTANOOGA, TENN. - A
Chattanooga lOcksmith says he has
perfected portable electric lock-
picker that could he a menace TO
civilization.
William Miskill says his device
will open the average door lock i'm
q matter of seconds and would be
potential bonanza for house
breakers and car thieves.
But, he added, it will never be
put on sale-he's d locksmith and
it's to his interest to preserve locks
rather than undermine them.
The device, the result of rs wears
experimentation. consists of long
steel needle connected to some
coils which cause the needle to vi
brate when electric current is an
piled.
All Miskill has to do is insert the
needle and tension tool into the
lock and press the trigger. The
needle vibrates and, aided by the
tension tool, forces the lock tu,n-
bier up and the door opens.
The only noise connected with
the operation is a gentle humming
audible only within 10 feet.
The machine is easily portable. A
dry cell fits in one back pocket and
the coils and needle in another.

Except to those who eat meat" :"
President Truman's decision to
take controls off meat offers no
relief from OPA, Robert r. Wason,
president of the National AssOcia-
tiOn of Manufacturers, asserted last
week.
Speaking for the MANS $4,000

Truman's acknowledgement that

He said this situation has develop

their responsibility in the matter OF
public finance.
Correct Fiscal Policy calls for a
tax structure that would preserve
the incentive to invest and produce
ample earnings that can be taxed"
he said. THE tax structure must
quit @uppressing enterprise and
individuals"
Reforms he proposed for the post
w"r transition period were: Cd Re-
ducing individual income taxes by
Is per cent all along the line, and
setting top limit of SO per cent on
taxes on individual incomes; (2)
Reducing corporate combined nor
NAL tax and surtaX to 80 per cent;
and CD Eliminating double taxa

about 263 billion dollars. Mr.. Hum

same time curtail bank credit
which should enable business to
expand.
The manufacturer called for Il
balanced budget. even if it means
drastic curtailment of Federal ser
vices. Failure to balance the budget
and start paying off the national
debt will bring on national fnsol-

,Ir.. chairman of the Tax Council of
the National Association of Manu-

ecOnOmizinG would make it possi-
hle to balance the Federal budget
"and simultaneously reduce taxes. =
Holding that budget balance and
tax reductions both are possible i'll
the coming year. Mr.. Humphreys
outlined a three-way program
which would include debt retire
ment, and which he maintained
could he accomplished if the gov
ernment would cut expenses.
The budget can be balanced. he
said, by government elimination of
nOn-esSential functions, adopting
national policies that encourage
peak production and maximum en-
llOyment, and establishing Il ma
tional policy which encourages the
flow of jOb-creating capital for in
duStrial expansion and leaves the
purchasing power with the people.
I'm this peacetimc year the gov

expenditures drastically, balance
the budget, make a start on debt re-

Scarcities Still
Linger Though OPA
Meat Control Off
Shortage OF TallOw Affects
Wool, Wire. Rubber And

Observation-Disclosures OPA
price control on meat has been
dropped after widespread public
demand, effects of the national
meat famine will persist long after
steaks and chops again are avail
able.
The soap shortage, for example.
Not alone the nations housewives
but it's manufacturers are worried
about that.
Not about cleanliness, particu-
larly, arc the manufacturers con-
cerned--they need soap to make
many of their products.
On Down the Line

Soap figures in both the beginning
and concluding stages OF WOODEN
manufacturer. 1t is used first tO
wash the grease from sheared wool.
After the wooden cloth is printed
and dyed, final washing i'll soap
adds the fluffiness that is main
selling point with the public.
In one form or another soap is
important in the manufacture of
rubber and steel wire.
A by-product, glycerine, is used
III the making of such diverse prod
ucts as dynamite and paint. Glycer-
ine also gives cigarettes the moist
ness which smokers like.
TallOw is scarce because the
OPA forced black market wastage
of animal fats when price control
kept livestock out of the legitimate
channels.

HANGOVERS ARE
STILL HEAEACHE
SCIENCE LEARNS

NEW YORk-A scientific study
OF alcoholic hangOvers is reported
in the Quarterly Journal of AlcO-
hOl by GiOrgio Lolli. NJ. d.. of Yale.
His cases were men and women
who went on occasional SpreeS to
escape from their worries but who
had lost the power to resist this
form of escape. DR.. LOlli is an as
sistant professor Of applied physi-
olOgy and medical director of the
Yale Plan Clinic for alcoholics.
He found that during the hang
over period, when they felt very
bad. these persons were apt to tell
facts they kept secret ordinarily
that were helpful in aiding their
condition.
One man, DR.. L0lli reported, had
q craving for milk after SOLDERING
up. This, the doctor said, seems to
be the expression Of persistent
and unsatisfied longing for mater
nal affection.
DR.. Lolli aid the thirst of hang
overs seems to be due mainly to q
shift of water within tissue cells
and goes into the spaces between
these tiny bits of tissue.
The causes of headaches he de-
clared are uncertain. Livcrs pro-
badly are one cause.
Loss of self-esteem was common
in all the hangover patients. Fati-

DR.. Lolli asserted that tapering
off in drinking is no cure for the
troubles caused by alcoholism, anC

and soap and other commodities. AS everyone knows
this nation has the capacity produce all of these
commodities needed. We did before tho and
we did so during the when we were taking care
of considerable part of the rest of the world in
addition to meeting our own needs.
But now with the war OVER, we have shortages
There are many reasons for the shortages not
the least of which is the incredible stupidity of the
bureacurats of the present Administration. MIR. Tru
man finally-after great damage had been done
admitted the failure of the bureaucratS by ordering
the de-contro of meats He locked the barn door
after the horse had gone the butcher shop Another
reason generally assigned for shortages is that an
duly large share of what production the burcaucrats
do permit is being diverted to other nations
However, as a result of a very excellent piece of
research done bv The United States News an i'm
partial news magazine, we do have few figures
available. Take soaps and toilet preparations for
example During the period 1936-3S average of eX-
ports of these commodities $4,000. The 1886
SO monthly average in meat exports was $2,llS2,-
OOO In June this year the figure $5,095, 900.
These are few examples of where commodi-
ties are going Incidentally these exports figures did
include UNRRA Shipments some of which went to
Tito and other satellites of Stain. They do not in
clude anything exported feed troops overseas.
The moral should be obvious. 1t is time to DE-
CONTROL THE AMERICAN PEOPLE and the
people will do just that on November 5.
But the fact that Republican prospects for vic
tory are bright for any relaxation of eff
forts until the ballots are in the ballot box AND
COUNTED.
The welfare of the nation demands not only
Republican victory this year, but smashing Re
publican victory-one which will produce practical
working majorities in Congress. hair-ine majority
might conceivably turn out to be more of a handi
cap than an advantage because it would impose re
sponsbility without actual power
