General Accounting Office select
other men to make the loans and
investments and generally handle
the corporations affairs.
Says Blast Is Excuse.
IF Mr.. Andrews would be entirely
frank, he would admit that under
the law authorizing the General
Accounting Office to audit the affairs
of all Government corporations
which was passed in February, 1945
General Accounting Office was Or
dered to make an audit report to
Congress by January Is, 1916. Gen.
eral Accounting Office evidently
found that it could not make such
an audit report within anything like
the time specified. Therefore, tc
excuse themselves, Mr.. Andrews
made a blast at RFC, that is un-
worthy of the General Accounting
Office or the accounting profession. ,
Mr.. Jones' statement was tele-
graphed from Cape Vincent, N. Y.
and released by his Office here.

Trieste General Strike
Continues for Fourth Day
By fhA Associafed Praxs

TRIESTE, July 5.-The general
strike of 100000 workers continued
today for the fourth day despite the
decision of Allied military auth1r-
tiles that it was illegal" MS
Allied authorities ruled yesterday
that the strike, which has virtually
paralyzed this hotly disputed city,
had political motives and therefore,
was out Of order.
The strike was called Monday
following riots between Partisans of
the left and right in which 2 per-
sons were killed and so injured.
Some workers had returned to.
their jobs today, but port operations
were still deadlocked and out of 10
ships in the port, one only-and
that a military cargo vessel-was
being unloaded.
Posters appeared during the night
throughout Trieste demanding that
the four-power Foreign Ministers
decision to internationalize the area
not be put into effect.

Harvard Gets Back Pointino
Figuring in 100000 Suit

ington said in a telephone interview
with the Philadelphia Evening Bull
letin. "The frame alone was worth
$3.50.
I'm very anxious to know who
sold it, so that some sort of GRIM
inal prosecution can be started. It's
all awfully annoying. We're not
through yet"
George c. Klauder, Philadelphia
counsel for Mrs. Darlington, said a
photograph and shadowgraph of
the painting, sent to Boston, left
little doubt that the painting was
hers.
Il am advised that 1t had been in
the possession of prominent resi-
dent of Boston," Mr.. Klauder said.
Mrs. Darlington charged in her
suit, filed June Is, that the museum
gave the painting to a man who
misrepresented himself as her agent
after she had submitted 1t to Har-
ward authorities to determine its
validity.
The man who obtained the paint
ing from the museum, the suit de-
clared. placed 1t in Boston gallery
and when that went out OF business
the picture was not accounted for.
The suit charged the president
and fellows of Harvard with breach
OF contract and conversion. In its
answer, the university maintained
that 1t was exempt from liability
on the ground that it is a charitable
institution.
The Globe said the painting was
recovered within a week of publi-
cation of the suit.

Jesse Jones jumped to the defense

The report followed by few day.
Banking Committee approval of ar
administration request for an ex-
tension of the life of the lending
agency beyond its expiration date
early next year.
Mr.. Jones, terming the RFC "the
most competent Government busi-
ness agency that has ever operated
on so large a scale" said that the
GAO criticism was made "at time
calculated purposely. in my opinion
to damage the RFC."
Cites Regular Audits.
Mr.. Jones asserted that from
February, 1882, to December, ls41
the RFC was audited annually by
certified public accountants as vel
as its own auditors and that the
outside accountants never "founc
anything material to criticize"

Mr.. Jones also mentioned Difficult

accountants and auditors.
The report to Cogress criticized
the practice of RFC board members
serving both as policy-making di-
rectors and as executive officers OF

commented:

Pete never tried to gouge anyone. His
price for water was fair, even though he had
the only supply. But as he got older, he
couldn't remember very well, and when he
was asked to keep certain troughs filled, he
was likely to fill the wrong ones, or forget
about it entirely To herder with thou
sand or twelve hundred thirsty sheep on his
hands, this was mighty bad.
They tried to buy him out, but Pete Just
grunted, When leave here I'll die"
believed he would, too
Things came to a boil when John the
Basque had to push herd through dry camp
after dry camp, where there should have been
water, to reach Pete's Well. The Basque lost
fifteen head, and might have lost them all if
he hadn't been good man and lucky.
Pete felt pretty bad about it. He insisted
on paying for the sheep - though it didn't
take much insistence - and promised to keep
everything in writing 50 he wouldn't forget
any more. But in few weeks his records
were so balled up he didn't know what they
meant, and he was just as likely to spend his
time roofing in the flowers around his house
instead of delivering water.
Those flowers grew like miracles Pete's
house. 'unpainted and silver gray from the
weather, stood like an island in the middle

of waving masses of gold and yellow and
red. You never saw blooms like the ones he
raised.
Well, the sheepmen got together and had

HOTEL so I just happened to be there.
noticed another man who did lot of listen
ing and no talking - stranger passing
through. He was hard-looking, in fancy city
clothes, and had scar on one cheek. Just
for luck checked him on the register later
and got his name - Anthony Comorra, of
Seattle.
HE sheepmen were just like. any other
bunch of men - some hotheaded, some COOL
some considerate and some hard as flint
They brought up everything they could
think of about Pete, including the fact that
he'd been taking in good deal of money for
a good many years, and undoubtedly had
plenty put away Someone did little figur-
ing and came out with a sum that was way
up in the thousands. 1t was mentioned that
Pete had no use for banks, and kept his
funds in cash, hidden on his place.
1t seemed to me Comorra listened little
harder, after that.

Then they brought out lot of stuff about
Pete needing someone to take care of him.
They did their best to make him sound like
simple minded old fool
Now being Sheriff like l am, don't SUD-
pose there's any more sentiment in me than
in horned toad. but this went against my
grain. got up and looked around from eye
to eye until they quieted down.
"WELL," said, you're all sheepmen, and
never saw sheepherder in my life who
didn't get to talking to himself at times, and
maybe shaking hands with the juniper bushes
when he went by. If were you I'd think it
over careful before I accused someone else
of being loony."
Some of them grinned, and some we're
mad. Jeff Morton, one of the grinners,
called out, What do you suggest, Sheriff."
"Why not get someone to stay at the well
with Pete?" asked. How about his niece?"
Pete's niece was the only relative he had,
but he was always talking about her. Seems
he hadn't seen the girl since she was knee
high to grasshopper, but that didn't make
any difference. The way Pete spoke, she was
the apple of his eye.

A Short Story
NTow there are all sorts of fools in this
~ world. Being Sheriff of Oak County for
20 years. I've had to lock up few of them -
the violent ones. But knew for sure didn't
want to bring in Pete, who was as harmless
an old coot as I'd ever seen, with long white
hair and beard like prophet from the Bible.
The Sheepmen's Association didn't agree
with me, however, and it looked as if Judge
Harrison would take their side.
Pete had located a well in the desert with
divining rod. He installed windmill,
tank and watering troughs. He built himself
three-room house and bright red privy,
the latter located respectful distance out
in the sagebrush. He made money and
bought little tank truck, set up more
watering troughs along the roads, and con-
tracted to keep them filled when there was
demand
In this way, he made possible the opening
up of many square miles of grazing land.
Ad-daleel., 1946-06-05

He served in the United States Army
and after his commission as a lieutenant,
he served in the South Pacific Theatre of
Operations.
The actual manner in which he died,
is not known, except that it was in battle,
under fire in Nov. of 1914, when fate met
and took the life of one of our great heroes.
This loss was mourned throughout the
Syrian and Lebanese colonies in Cleveland
and upon word, the rest of our heritage
felt this loss as well.
The Requiem High Mass honoring JIM
MY MEENA, was held at the st. Georges

Though We are against the position of
one individual having enough power to
tie up a nation with strikes, we still believe
in the bargaining rights of the little man.
Hitler refused any unionization of his
people. Those who might have cherished
the thought, are dead martyrs to that
cause today.
Klanism, is also anti G.. 1. o. and anti
p. A. c.. Fearing the unionization of the
poorer whites and negroes in the Southern
States.
ARE THESE NOT THE SAME DOC
TRINES FOLLOWED BY HITLER?
What further prove, do we need to en-
tighten us as to the evils, the worthless
ness and the gestapocal, Nazi followed
patterns of the Ku KluX Khan?
Further evidence of their illegal aims
and tactics was the threat to- an eminent
commentator for exposing facts about the
K. X. K.
Drew Pearson, has always followed an
unbiased policy in reporting all matters of
a public interest. And against, their threats
has furthered his blasting of the wor-
kings in this morbid organization.
Threatening the press; Infringing upon
the rights of the freedom of the press has
always held, WHAT NEXT???
The answer to that question will be
found in the reaction of the people of our
United States to this already major diem
ma.
If implacency and indifference is their
reaction, civil disturbance, our c~onstitu,
tional rights, freedoms of religion, of the
press and numerous others will be endan'
gered, if not lost.
However; should we react as Americans
with common sense and the experience Of
what ISMS such as Klanism have brought
the world and raise our protests against
the K. K. K. we soon will realize the end
to a serious catastrophe.
