Second Report Monday On Community Chest Campaign

Community Chest officials were eaerly looking forward to the sec ond report luncheon Monday noon to learn how close to the $393, ,567 quota the 1947 chest drive is. At the first report on Wednesday, IT per cent of the quota, or $65, ,806, was announced by team captains.
 The majority of the teams had no reports to make on Wednesday. Many of them were just begin ming their solicitations At most large industrial firms, employe ral- lies prior to the appeal for pledges had just gotten into full swing
 Since the first report, subdivisions at the industrial plants have re- ported that they have exceeded their quotas and in many instances have announced the receipt of pledges by 100 percent of the en- ployes.
 Edward Graham, executive sec retary of the chest, said that it is very important that every team captain make report on Monday. He said that he hoped most of the reports would be final at that time, but emphasized that the captains must make some sort of report. Chest officials have stated that they hoped that the only work remain ing after the report is announced will be minor cleanupS. The major portion of the quota should be at- tained by that time.
 The Metropolitan Division is ex- pected to show the greatest in- crease in pledges on Monday. The volunteer workers, who were just getting into full swing at the first report meeting, only announced nine percent of their quota as hav- ing been attained at that time By Monday, this division should be very close to their goal. chest of f1cials said
 The Womens Division has hit IT percent of it's quota and the Em- ployes of Industry Division, 19 per- cent.
 All three divisions are much closer

Curbs onFood ToEnd Nov.1

Washington, Oct. 19- (UP)-An OPA spokesman said today that all foods except sugar will be decon- trolled by Nov. l.
 At the same time it was learned that OPA will be asked for decontrol this week by radio, washing ma- chine, candy and household refrig- orator manufacturers.
 An OPA official said there is a good chance price ceilings will be removed from candy, but the odds are against decontrol of washing machines and retrigerators.
 OPA has set Nov. as its deadline for decontrol of virtually all items not significant in the cost of living. Only few basic items will remain under ceilings.

Soviet Holds US. S.Citizens In Slavery
 Government Mops
 Protest to Russia
 For SIove Lobor

Washington, Oct. 19-(UP)-The United States today was considering 8 formal protest to Russia over al- legations that scores of American citizens are held in slave labor there.
 This was disclosed by official sources after the State Department sent sharply-worded protest to YugoSlavia, charging that many American citizens are being held in prisons there without charge, that some are being held under slave la bor conditions and that some have died as result of brutal treatment.
 These sources reported that up to 10 American citizens-all civilians have died in Yugoslav prison camps and that 165 others are engaged in forced labor.
 The state departments charges brought an immediate and emphatic denial from Dr. Sergije Nakiedo, temporary Charge d'Affaires of the Yugoslav embassy.
 'The YugoSlav government" he said in statement, "has always scrupulously respected the rights and privileges of all American citizens. I most emphatically deny that any Americans are being subjected to slave labor in Yugoslavia or that slave labor conditions exist in my country"
 Officials said most of the Ameri- cans allegedly held in Russia were U. s. citizens sent into the U.SS.R. in 1914 and 1945 by the advancing Red Army. They were taken from Romania, Yugoslavia, Poland and Hungary, where they had been hv- ing for some years. Many since have been returned to Poland and the Balkans.
 At present, the cases are being handled on an individual basis but, officials said, blanket protest will be made soon unless Russia gives satisfactory explanation.
 The protest note to Yugoslavia was the stiffest in a series that be- gan after the shooting down of two unarmed U. s. Army transport planes last August with loss of five American lives. It was handed to Marshal Tito's government in Bel grade by U. S. Ambassador Richard c. Patterson, Jr.
 The note denounced the inhumane conditions under which the Amer jeans are being held and emphasized that they were imprisoned without trial.

or Poland or some of the other countries which were devastated.
 Germany To Be Puzzle, He Says
 Finland needs help, but is put ting up valiant fight for recovery with the Russians right in the front yard of Helsingfors.
 Germany will continue to be a headache because no one has the secret of how to put Germany back into the community of nations as sef-Sufficient member. without at the same time exposing other countries to the danger of the re- appearance of the German military menace.
 We shall continue, no doubt, to have civil strife in China and other countries. All this is in sharp con- trast to this smiling land of Sweden with it's plenty of everything, it's good solid money and it's happy, in- dustriouS people. It seems incred- ible that only a short airplane flight from your shores lies Germany with its shattered cities. It's like coming from the dark midnight to bright monday to travel from one country to another.
 But, speaking of the German epople, let us differentiate between the people and the cities. The cities ar smashed and industry is gone, But the people are not smashed. And whether they have become converted from militariSm is not for me to say. My own impress sion, however, is that they are looking for leader-either man or a group of men or nation and the road they travel in the fu- ture will depend very much indeed on that leader, on whether his policy is peace or revenge"
 After making several comments about Relationships, Baillie said all Relationships were founded on g controlled press.
 He told a number of stories about his personal talks with Gen. Doug las Macarthur and with Mussolini, Hitler and Hirohito.
 Speaking of his own travels, Bail lie said:
 My observations come in the line of duty as head of the United Press, because it is part of my assignment to spend at least half of every year among our correspondents out over the world, working with our staff, meeting personalities in the news, | participating in expansion of our communications system for fastest | possible news coverage and some times even helping secure some new business
 Communications must be pretty fast these days to keep up with air. planes. When The Dreamboat' can | fly from Honolulu to Cairo nonstop it makes you stop and think. It eS- | pecially makes you stop and think of the possibilities if The Dream boat carried an atomic bomb. AL i though I know, of course, that is very far from the thoughts of the gentlemen in the American Air Force who planned the trip and who | are men of peace That is, they sell dom strike the first blow. But they usually strike the last one.
 T think it will be long time before a dictator takes a plunge such as Hitler did when he invaded Poland or such as Tojo did when he sank our fleet at Pearl Harbor. think we had two or three aircraft carriers in action against the Japs all complete with airplanes ano aviators. These lessons will not, in my judgment, be forgotten over- night

Catholic Thought and Opinion
Now we've got voui"

Late July. One or those nights when you can barely breathe. The humidity folds you in its sticky blanket. People sit on front porches, rocking gently on their swings glasses of iced lemonade. The sound of the crickets rises higher and higher. A frog croaks on the bank of diStant> creek. There inst a breeze stirring.
 Inside the Catholic church, the lights on two or three pillars show dozens of people scattered through the pews. Sweat stands out on their foreheacs. They shift from one knee to the other, as they try to keep their clothes from getting too firm a grip on their bodies.
 We've got you now, Father" they could say. Were going to take our turn one by one, pouring into your ear all the grime scraped from our souls by a careful exam ination of conscience. Big sins and little ns-disobedience hatred, pride, lust, theft. drunkenness, cursing, bad temper-you1l hear it all. You won't know us either, thank God. We'll slip quietly into that steaming booth and whisper our sins into the dark To you it may be the hundredth, or the five hundredth, case of the day. To us it will be peace, forgiveness. the happiness of security in Gods love.
 Mine o'clock already? Hes been haariOp since SnvpO He rPa Nv should close up now, but he won't; We can depend on that. He'll stay in there until there isn't another soul to be heard.
 How does he stand it-wrapped in black from his chin to his toes . with collar of starched linen to catch the precipitation rolling down his throat. Doesn't he ever get sick of it? The same thing over and over again It must get awfully monotonous. Only seven left to be heard now Hang on, Father! You'll be free to take shower in about twenty minutes .
 "Now it's my turn. I'll be glad to have a good conscience again. Two minutes in the confessional (hope I don't sweat through this coatD and then peace a fresh start with God another chance to prove myself with Him."

You'll be in Toledo three or four
days." she said, land you'll have
plenty of time to skip out in the
morning and get these things which
we need. Toledo is a lot bigger
place than this, and is bound to
have things we can't get here"
Since then I have studied the
list, and for the past "a hours have
been trying to screw up my courage
to point where I can throw it
away.' But something tells me that
If I don't return with most of the
things on the list, I will be quizzed
so severely on just what I DID do
IN Toledo that I didn't have time
for shopping, that I'll wish I had
made stab at 1t anyhow.
Just a Few Items.
just let me name you few of
the items on the list.
Flour sitter.
Light fixture for the sunroom
porch. The marginal directions &C
companying this item are that it
must be simple fixture, with no
spangles and bangles, and nothing
on it that will rust, being as it Is
for a porch directly on the ocean.
Parts for a meat grinder A pic
ture drawn to scale illustrates this
memo.
A colander. The note with this
one says not to bring home some
thing that has bathing beauty
on it, and tells the days of the
year.
Pinned on the list is a sample
Of the living room drapes. I am
to shop around until I find some
material which will blend with this.
and 1 am not to 60 whole hog and
buy half yard. I am to look for
a remnant which will be cheaper
and plenty big enough to cover
footstool.
Garden hose. Her instructions
are very specific concerning this.
She doesn't want synthetic rubber.
and feels sure that if I will nose
around in the secondhand shops
and junk yards, I'll be able to find
30 feet OF prewar rubber hose that
Is just as good as new.
She Can't Name 1t.
A certain type of silver polish.
She doesn't give the name of it.
because she can't remember 1t, but
her instructions tell me that II I
will try enough department and
JeWelry stores in Toledo and simply
ask for that marvellous stuff which
was made before the war" she is
certain I will get it.
One set of No. S knitting needles.
A hole is punched in the list at this
place, to show the size a No. S
needle should fit into.
A large metal garbage can with q
tlght-f1tting top, and good strong
handles. 1t surprised me that there
wasn't a little garbage attached to
the side of the list to remind me
The list goes on and on from here.
The more I look at the shopping
list, the more I am sorry that, de-
spite the discomforts Of the place
the 37th didn't elect to hold its first
reunion on Bougainville, where the
Buckeyes spent so many months.
About the only thing I could bring
her back from there would be a
tattooed headhunter. But that
would hardly be fair to the old
fellow, because in no time at all she
would teach him English and nave
him out shopping, armed with list
longer than his spear.
Happy thought: Maybe can get
some of the officers of the 37th to
disperse and run these errands for
me. Heaven knows, I ran enough
for them in my day.
