NO RELATIONSHIP EXISTS BE- TWEEN POLISH AMERICAN CONGRESS AND SLAVONIC UNION SAYS JOSEPH KOZAkIEWICZ
 

mug AO. 40fO Editor of the Democrat:
 There is absolutely no relationship existing between the Polish Amer ican Congress and the Slavonic Un- ion which is meeting in New Haven, Connecticut on August 3l, l946. am issuing this statement to clarify the question in the minds of the many people who may think that there is some connection be- tween the two organizations.
 The two organizations have div ergent, in fact, diametrically oppos- ed views on the European situation and the part America must take therein.
 The Polish American Congress bases it's concept of this matter on true American principles embodied in the Atlantic Charter and declara- tions of The Four Freedoms. It stands for true and fortnight spirit in meeting all of the prob lens that confront the World today

by a gnomelike little man named

throughout Europe as caricaturist

PAPERMAKER
Il 6O-Second Close-up)

HAND-FASHIoNED. Paper short
ages never bother Harrison Elliott.
That's because he's one of the few
men in the country who can make his
own.
Nor is it difficult for him to find
material with which to work. Into his
beater go worn-out pajamas, sun suits,
slacks and even Girl Scout uniform.
They come out - paper.
The process Elliott uses originated
in China about los AID, and was the
only method employed until the in
vention of the paper machine in 1898.
Making paper by hand has been a
dead art in this country since 1888.
Elliott has been learning about this
ancient craft for more than Is years
- spends all his spare time at it. His
one-man mill is in the Manhattan
office building where, during the day,
he is advertising director for COM
mercial paper company.
Watching Elliott at work will give
you good idea of how machine
made paper is manufactured. He
starts by shredding shirt or sheet on
a paper cutter. The shredded mess
goes into ''beater" where it becomes
pulp. The pulp is then transferred toa
vat where more water is added.
MAGIC MIX. Carefully, like a cook,
Elliott mixes until the pulp is exactly
the right consistency. Then, mold in
hand, his arms 60 into the pulpy mass.
He takes the mold out, shakes it
gently and, as you watch, sheet of
paper appears. He eliminates surplus
water by pressure and air drying.
The process is slow and too expen-

sive to be of great commercial value.
He has made paper for the Duchess
of Windsor with her own special
watermark, but mostly his hobby
pleases him because Il get certain
joy in achieving odd color and tex
ture effects from old rags"
Occasionally Elliott gets reports
of new hand-paper methods. But in
most cases they don't follow his thor
ough process.
Elliott says, when you buy pulp
from mill or make it with caustic
soda and an egg-beater, it's not true
papermaking." Berry MlcHELMM

Practically all have been well-pleased
at the sketches, but he got one strong
objection from the great soprano,
Maria Jeritza. When her caricature
was delivered to her she wrote Berger
the simple message: Il shall kill you.
In the picture above he is at work
on sketch of the President, who will
be 62 this Wednesday, Mr.. Bergers
impression of the President is sue

ly dispatched to look for the
Norma, whose position was given
in the radio message.
Flares were dropped from

stop the traffic. Chief Perezsaid

ing on passengers will be arrest
ed, regardless of whether the car
is on the same side of the street

Higher Prices
Cuts Deep Into

LONDON, Dec. 16.-Continued
rise in prices of commodities has
affected the spending power of
the $3,750,000,000 Great Britain
borrowed from the United States,
government spokesman said to-
day.
He explained that Great Brit
ain had figured out the money
would last over a five-year period
of buying, but the extra costs of
goods in the United States and
Canada, from which the bulk of
purchases have been made, have
resulted in such deep cuts into
the fund, it is feared it will last
little more than three years.

Goldstein today telling him that
