A-Bomb Ovens Producing for peatetin1e Use
Atomic Materials Earmark- : ed for Science, Medi-
 cine and Industry

OAK RIDGE, Tenn, June IA The great shielded ovens that can make atom bomb ingredients are pioneering today in a new job producing materials earmarked to serve science, medicine and indus try in peacetime.
 The Army's Manhattan Engineer District, creators of the worlds deadliest weapon, disclosed the production envisions nationwide distribution" of radioactive sub- stances made in the same furnaces that produced the heart of the A-bomb.
 Far Reaching Importance
 And the great ovens, now pro- ducing limited quantities of these humanitarian by-products of atom ic energy, are being geared for the Army's objective of large scale availability of products which they declared may we'll have far-reaching importance in peace-time research in physics, chemistry, metallurgy and the med ical sciences"
 Meanwhile. the Army announced that hospitals, universities, and similar institutions or groups could make immediate application for the small quantities of materials available.
 A reasonable cnargeo will be ! made to cover the out-of pocket" costs to the United States, the an- nouncement said.
 Not Meet All Demands l The announcement said that while present production would be increased as rapidly as possible it will probably be impossible to meet all the demands of the country un- til additional facilities are built | specifically for Radioactive sub- stance) production. This is not contemplated in the immediate fu- ture.'
 Declaring that approximately 100 different radioactive substances materials that give off invisible rays-would be obtainable in war; rying quantities. from the atom bomb project, the War Departments statement asserted:
 They will be used in two im- portant ways:
 First as tracer atoms or 'trac- CTS for following the course of atoms in chemical, biological and technical processes.
 And possibly second, after con- siderable research, as therapeutic treatment agents for treatment of certain special diseases"
 INTERNATIONAL CONTROL
 NEW YORK, June IA. = The United States in history -making pronouncement offered to day to destroy it's own store of atomic bombs and stop manufacturing them if an adequate control of atomic energy is established under proposed international authority. Simultaneously, the Unite d States made it clear to an intcntly listening world there must be no veto power in any part of the framework it was proposing for the development and peaceful use of atomic energy
 Bernard M. Baruch, United States representative, gave to the United Nations Atomic Energy Commission at it's first session and to the world the American plan for harnessing for peaceful pur- poses the giant force unleashed by science.
 Tn Washington, the President said at his news conference that he had not seen Baruch's actual speech. But, MT. Truman said, he and Secretary of State James F. Byrnes had given Baruch direc- tive on American policy and he imagined Baruchs statement fol- lowed it.

Supreme Court Asked To
Approve Naturalization
OF Pacifists

Washington, D. C. (ILNS)-The u.
S. Supreme Court is urged to declare
pacifists eligible for naturalization as
American citizens in a brief by the
American Civil Liberties Union sup
porting an appeal heard recently.
Signed by former Democratic presiden-
tial candidate John w. Davis, among
others, the brief supports the appeal
of James Louis Girouard, Canadian
Seventh Day Adventist, who was re-
fused citizenship by the Circuit Court
of Appeals in Boston in 1913, though
he had indicated he was willing to ac-
cept non-combatant service in the
army.
The question of his eligibility re-
wolves around the meaning of the
oath required of all prospective citi-
zens to Support and defend" the
United States. In cases 15 years ago
the U. S. Supreme Court by series
of to 4 decisions held that Congress
intended the oath to mean willing
ness to bear arms. John w. Davis was
the leading counsel to present the
case for the pacifists.
The Civil Liberties Union urges the
Supreme Court to reverse it's earlier
decision. It points out that substan-
TALLY the same oath has been freely
taken by innumerable lawyers, civil
service employees, and public officials
who had conscientious scruples against
war.
The u. S. Civil Service Commission
has specifically held that the oath
may be taken by conscientious objec-
tors, and it has been administered by
the army to thousands of conscientious
objectors serving as on-combatants
in World War II.
The ACLU also points out that Con-
gress can hardly have intended the
oath to bar pacifists from citizenship
since 1912 amendment to the natu-
ralization law specifically extends
easier naturalization procedures to all
who served in the armed forces, in
cluding non-combatant conscientious
objectors. The court is reminded that
the American tradition of freedom
from discrimination on religious
grounds dictates that religious paci-
fists not be excluded from citizen
ship.

Strike Tactics Of Some
Unions Held Inviting
Court, Police Excesses

New York City (ILNS).-Tactics of
certain striking unions Invite" the
excesses of brutality and government
by injunction, the American Civil Lib
critics Union said in denouncing ex-
cesses by the courts and police and
reiterating opposition to labor tactics
that deny access to all comers at
strike-bound plants.
Supporting the right to mass pic
keting as such, the civil liberties or
ganization said in letter to Joseph
Curran, president Of the Greater New
York CIO Council, that "some of the
unjunctions have been prompted by
what we regard as excesses on the
part of striking unions who have de-
MED access by mass picket lines, even
to the owners Of properties, supervi-
sors and non-striking employees"
The right to mass picketing and
right of free entry to plant are not
in conflict, according to the letter
and Sin number of strikes" arrange

Washington, D. C. (ILNS).-With
appointment of Senate Labor Com
mittee subcommittee to draft SUBJ
stitute for the Case strike-control bill,
death Of the measure, which organic
ed labor has strenuously opposed, was
seen as certain.
The Case bill, which passed the
House Feb. z, was recently denounced
by President William Green Of the
American Federation of Labor as
"monstrous" and "reflecting angry
hatred of organized labor" He de-
clared it would bring back slavery
and the labor injunction and revive
the shateful blacklist"
Death Of the Case bill in the Senate
Labor Committee, unless there should
be a radical change Of mind on the
part of the committees members,
came when Chairman Thomas E. Muir
ray of Montana announced that it was
the opinion of the committee that no
drastic" labor legislation should be
enacted now.

sentative Case of South Dakota and

Senator Murray denied any attempt
to "pigeonhole" the Case bill and said
that he had offered to send the meas

der a negative report but that other
Senators wanted no part of law
which would "penalize or straight

SENATE COMMITTEE
BACKS 65-CENT
MINIMUM PAY

Washington, D. C. (ILNS).-The
Senate battle for an increase of min
imum wage rates under the Fair La
Dor Standards (wage-hour) Act has
opened with reporting of a bill by
the Education and Labor Committee.
The committees bill asks an imme-
date increase of the minimum wage
to 65 cents an hour, from the present
40 cents, and extension of overtime
coverage to "any employer whose busi-
ness affects interstate commerce"
Senators Tunnel of Delaware and
Pepper of Florida, reporting for the
majority, insisted that an immediate
advance to at least 65 cents was i'm
perative.
NATIONAL INCOME JUMP CITED
with a national income of $780,
00O,00O,O00," they contended, "a 65-
cent minimum wage yields the worker
at substandard wages a smaller pro-
portion of the nations increased
wealth than 4O-cent minimum yield
ed him with the $4,000, 100000 ma
tional income in 1888. While national
income per capita has risen over 100
percent in Z years (at least rs percent
when adjusted for price changes), the
income of the underpaid has not raised
in anything like the same proportion"
The proposed bill broadens the COW
erage of the act to include seamen
SO far as minimum wages are concern
ed but not as to overtime.
A minority report suggesting an
immediate rise to 55 cents and an ul-
innate level of 60 cents was brought
in by members who called the ma
jority proposals inflationary.
SMALLER RAISES URGED
Two Democratic Senators, Ellender
of Louisiana and Fulbright of Ark
ansas, joined with Republican Sena-
tors Taft, Ohio; Ball, Minnesota; DON
nell, Missouri and Smith, New Jersey
in condemning the wage scale propos-
ed by the majority and the clauses ex-
panding coverage of the current act.
The dissenting Senators held that to
fix minimum wages beyond a point
sufficient to cover increased living
costs would inevitably add tremend-
ously to the already great initiation
ary pressures in the country"
They held that an immediate in
crease of Is cents, which they pro-
posed, was all the economy of the
country would absorb now. Their ulti-
mate level Of 60 cents at the end of
2 years, they maintained, was far
sounder than the graduated advances
proposed by the majority. In those, the
minimum of 65 cents would rise to 70
cents at the end Of 2 years and to Is
cents at the end Of years.

ments between labor and management
have been made to permit both.
1t was noted as matter Of regret
that union leaders ''in many instances
did not so regulate picketing as to
avoid the consequences of refusal
to accord the right of access to nom
strikers" 1t was also regretted that
some courts went SO far as to "pro-
hibit mass picketing altogether"

Pat keenan, Dies Suddenly
Patrick S. keenan, was born Marcl
II, 1868 at New London, Wis, anC
passed away August 10, 1916 at hi
ranch on O'Brien Creek He haC
been in poor health for the past few
years but the end came suddenly
For many years he owned his
ranch and late years it had been q
hobby of his to go out from town
to work on it. Many were the hours
he and his wife spent there. II
seems fitting that death should find
him on his beloved acres. He had
gone there in the morning and
was accompanied by his brother
in-law, Dan Whalen, who with his
wife and son, were visiting at the
Keenan, home.
Mr.. Whalen remained at the build
ingS but Mr. keenan, went on 10
the meadow to irrigate The exer-
ton and the heat of the day prov
ed to be too much for him and
brought on a heart attack. When
Mr. Whalen sent his son to ascer-
tain where Mr. keenan, was, the
boy returned saying he was asleep.
Hastily reaching the stricken man.
his brother-in-law perceived that
he had passed away.
In 1913 following a fire with des-
troyed his holdings in ST Joe, Ida,
Pat keenan, came to Troy AMI es-
tablished himself first in the Rives
building and later in the Alan Ho-
tel. Later he moved to his present
location and was burned out there
He quickly rebuilt and the new
building known as "Paddy's Place"
was opened in 1910 Deciding to
retire, he leased the place to the
LindSeyS and quit work The war
came and the boys were called to
service, so Pat, as he is known
to countless friends throughout the
the West, came back to work. In
October of last year he found it I
TO continue longer and
again retired.
In 1920 he married Nellie Whalen {
OF Rapid City. She survives him. Z
as do two sisters, Mrs Ella Daggett 7
Of St Louis, Mo, and Mrs. Mabel S
Arcan of Rhinelander, Wis. While
the sisters have visited him recent
", they were unable to attend the v
funeral.
During the years that he has been
n business here in Troy, Mr.. Keen P
IN has been noted as a man of his
word, honest and with considera- d
ion for others. He enjoyed good n
latured badinage, and could take d
t" as well as be on the other side. II
dany people mourn the passing of 81
good friend. He was a good-hus- n
and and in the home he will be II
realty missed. M
Funeral services will be at 10
clock Friday morning, with Father =,
)'Malley officiating. Burial will be 1
a the Millinor Cemetery. Thurs
ay evening at the Troy Catholic
'hurch Rosary will be held.
