 Everywhere the protesting troops demanded quicker trips home, clar- ification of policy and explanation why American soldiers were being kept in friendly territories.
 The soldiers said they wanted to get out of China, the Philippines France and Hawaii. They demanded replacements in Japan and Ger many so combat veterans could be demobilized.

 He warned the delegates that they must enlist the support of all peo- pies everywhere. He added:
 "They must understand that we are building a defense for the com mon people. In the purpose of the United Nations Organization we have a link with the achievement of freedom from fear. delivery of man. kind from the peril of want. To the individual citizen the spectre oi economic insecurity is more con- stant, more imminent than the sha- dow of war"
 Attlee recalled the famous phrase of Maxim Litvinov, former Soviety foreign commissar. in the dying days of the League of Nations-"peace is indivisible."
 Recalls Faults of League
 He said other nations of the world ignored Litvinov's warning, and the series of aggressions leading to the second world war followed. Litvin- ovs statement now has become one of the underlying principles of the new world organization.
 There was a tendency after the first world war, Attlee said, to re- gard the league as outside the or dinary range of foreign policy.
 The governments continued on the old lines, pursuing individual aims and following the path of power politics, not understanding that the world had passed into a new epoch" he said.
 Sets Britain As Example
 He recalled that the same situa- ton obtained in the British Isles for many years when the great nobles practiced private war in dis regard of the central government. But the time came when the private armies were abolished and the rule of law was established.
 What has been done in Britain and in other countries on a small stage has now to be effected throughout the whole world" he said.
 Nov today when victory has crowned our arms, we have to bring to the task of creating permanent conditions of peace the same sense of urgency, the same self-sacrifice and the same willingness to subor- dlnate sectional interests to the common good as brought us through the crisis of war,

 The search was started after Mrs, Margaret P. Perry, the nursery school operator, identified a ladder which may have been used in the kidnap-slaying She said she was sure it was one which was stolen some time ago from her home. It had been used by roofers working on the house.
 Linked To Insane Male
 At the same time Mrs. Perry re- vealed she had discharged a male employe of the nursery about three years ago because he had question: able habits. She said he once had been a mental patient at the Man teno, H., State Hospital but had been discharged as cured.
 Detective Sgt. Jack Hanrahan said the key unlocked the door to the laundry room of a Northside apartment building where Suzanne was killed and dismembered after her kidnaper tried to rape her.
 The body was found in four parts in as many cesSpools. The arms were still missing.
 The key, Hanrahan said, was among 21 others in the possession of Desere Smet, 35, former janitor of the building where the child was killed after she was Snatched from her bed early Monday.
 Test Clears Smet
 Hanrahan said that Smet "has been cleared" by a lie detector test given last night, but that he had ordered the man held pending out come of his investigation of the keys origin.
 Smet was described by police as an intimate of Hector Verburgh. 65, present custodian of the building where the dismemberment occurred, Verburgh and Smet both were un- dergoing further questioning.
 Verbutrgh's wife, Mary, GA. held since the couples arrest Tuesday night, must also be set free today under the court order. The Yer burghs and Srnet all have persis- tently denied any connection with the Kidnapping.
 Third Janitor Sought
 Police said they were hunting a third janitor, reportedly missing from 8 basement flat he occupied near the home of the kidnap vic- tim, daughter of James E. Degnan, 36, Chicago OPA executive who dis covered the girl missing and found 8 crude note demanding O,0OO ransom.
 A police detail waited at the home of the third ianitor, said to have been drinking heavily"
 At the same time, Hanrahan said that he had concluded that the crime had been committed by two men. He said he believed that one man climbed through the first floor window of the Degnan home, took the girl from her bed and handed her down to another.
 Smet, now custodian of three buildings near the dismemberment scene, identified 20 of his 2l keys, Hanrahan said, but contended that the last key was ''an old one" and that he did not know what it fitted.
 Meanwhile, Mrs. Helen Degnan, mother of the slain girl, learned for the first time the cruesome details of her daughters death. She was told by her parish priest, the Rev. George c. Kearney.
 The Chicago Tribune last night offered a $l0,O00 reward for inform ation leading to the arrest and conviction of the person or persons who murdered Suzanne Degnan."
 This increased to $21, 900 the total in rewards offered for convic- ton of the killer. Mayor Edward J. Kelly, personally directing the in- vestigation, previously had offered $5,OOO, the Herald-American $5,000 and two private citizens $500 each.

Cooper, Young HeaG Outdoor Drama gsaSa

| Bringing Gary Cooper and Loretta Young to be screen Tn picturesque new roles, "Aiong Came Jones'" is a stirring adven- ture-romance laid in the South west of 50 years ago. It plays at the Orphenm theatre Sunday and Monday.
 Although romance and thrills play their part, interest Tn this story of so-so cowboy who isn't even a good shot, leans heavily on comedy. In fact, Jones' awk- wardness with a gun in emergen- cles are sometimes hilarious, sometimes thrilling. And to com plicate matters, it is Cherry, played by lovely Loretta Young who has to come to his rescue, as she is dead shot.
 After a robbery in small town Cooper and his pal appear on the scene, and Cooper is mis- taken for a hunted bandit. Lor- etta comes to his aid and hides him and he soon gets the idea the real bandit is also hidden near him. The real bandit, play ed by meanie Dan Duryea, is in love with Loretta, but she likes the new stranger, and when the three get together trouble not only brews, but boils over.
 William Demarest plays Jones pal and the cast includes Frank Sully, Don Costello, Willard Robertson and Russell Simpson.

Al MCLEOD Loved BY
BUTTE WORKERS

Al Mcleod, republican candidate for
the. office of sheriff incurred the wrath
of the corporate interests, especially
the Anaconda company and the Mon
tana Power company when he refused
to do their bidding when rioters dam
aged some property. There is ques
tion is the minds of some people in
Butte whether these outrages were not
instigated by the company. At any
rate, the sheriff tried all peaceable
means to curb the destruction, and as
a result, no one was injured, no blood
was shed and actually, with all the
furore and national notoriety, it was
just an incident
Perhaps there could have been re-
petition of the massacre on the Ana
conda Road or other occasions of
blood shed here. Al Mcleod did his
duty as he saw it. In other words, in
paraphrasing Lincoln, "He followed
the light as he saw it" and it turned
out to the best interests of all.
Al Mcleod is loved and respected
But in the recent primary election,
everyone thought it was not necessary
to vote for him; he had it sewed up.
But it turned out otherwise through
just such taking things for granted.
The miners and all the other workers
owe Al Mcleod debt of gratitude

Clio CALLS FOR UNITY OF
NEGROES and
LABOR

| Nashville, Tenn. (PAC) = Negro
citizens have reached political matur
| ity and hold in their hands the power
| to llberalize their national and state
governments, Henry Lee Moon, as
sistant to the chairman of the CLIO
Political Action committee, told the
Third Annual Institute of Race Rela.
tions at Fisk university recently.
The speaker called on negroes to
use their potential voting power in
the congressional primaries and cleo
tions to place in office men who will
legislate such measures as a perman-
ent FEPC, a 65-cent minimum wage
law, national health act, adequate
housing, education and social security
provisions.
Referring to the late PAC chairman,
he said, at was Sidney Hillman's con-
viction that the basic interests of or
ganiZed workers and the negro masses
were essentially the same. Conscious
of this natural alignment, he sought
to fuse the two into a strong political
movement to carry on the fight for a
truly great America with freedom,
justice, equality and security for all
without regard to race, color, creed or
national origin" This combination, he
pointed out, was responsible for the
reelection of Pres. Roosevelt in 1914.

TRAVEL m GLACIER AND
YELLOWSTONE
BOOMING

Exceeding all expectations, the mum
Der of visitors to Yellowstone and
Glacier national parks for June of this
year was 100000, according to figures
released to the Unemployment Com
pensatlon commission by Superinten-
dents Edmund B. Rogers and j. w.
Emmert of Yellowstone and Glacier
respectively.
or the above number for June, 3d.
294 visited Glacier in June and 1899
Yellowstone for June through the 27th.
Superintendent Rogers reports that
for the first q days of June, Yellow
stone park showed an increase of
nearly 70 per cent over the same peri
cd for 1871. Glacier park travel for
June of this year is equal to that for
June of 1941, Superintendent Emmert
said.
Yellowstone parks biggest year was
1941 and that for Glacier was 1886. On
the basis of travel to July l, Yellow
stone park should approach 100000
visitors and Glacier may reach the
1896 figure of 100000 or exceed it.
Taking into consideration that there
might be some duplication, the ma
tional parks located wholly or partially
within the state may be expected to
approach 100000 for the season, and
as such is an interesting sidelight on
population trends in the state.

GERMAN FIRMS ARE OFF
BLACKLIST

American business firms are rush
ing to do business with the nazis,
according to Thomas F. Reynolds, in
the current issue of the New Republic.
German industry, which was pinned
down for the last five years by unre-
lenting economic warfare of the demo-
cracies, began showing evidence of
life within 4S hours after the United
States, Great Britain and Canada, on
July Sth, Jointly annulled the blacklist
of pro-Axis spearhead companies.
The office of International Trade, of
the Commerce Department, has issued
a statement announcing that "Ameri-
can firms are not required to check
the political standing of former pro-
claimed list firms" However, Mr.. Rey-
nolds insists, no American business
men can claim that he unwittingly
established relations with such firms,
since the Commerce Departments
observation-disclosures division will
furnish full information on any firms
formerly included on the black list.

CONGRESS IS URGED TO
ASSIST Federal
EMPLOYEES

Washington, D. C.-Uncle Sans
own civilian employees are "scapegoats
of a crazy economy" the Government
Employees Council of the American
Federation of Labor told congress re-
Gently.
In letters to members of the senate
and house, the council declared that
civilian government salaries and
wages are much less real and far less
equitable than recent legislation might
indicate.
Despite belated pay legislation,
said the council, government en-
ployes' income is constantly slipping
and is being siphoned off in the form
of constantly increasing expenses for
necessities far more rapidly than con-
gress is getting around to relieving
the situation.
Government employees obviously
look to congress for their contract of
employment. That contract includes
the rightful expectation that in return
for loyal and efficient service congress
will take immediate steps to repair the
damage when employees income sinks
to the present danger level.
"The government itself is adding to
the distress and confusion of govern
ment employees by engaging in rent
raising through the national housing
agency affecting public housing dwell
lers. So, rent-raising is not confined
solely to private owners. Obviously, as
prices are allowed to sky-rocket, the
salaries of government employees must
be increased.
1.-THE Government Employees Coun-
Gil of the AFL urges congress to take
appropriate action to increase the
purchasing power of government en-
ployes before going home for the cleo
ton, thus averting chaotic conditions
which must necessarily follow the in
evitable rise in the cost of life's nee
essities. AS employees now find them
selves, they are "scapegoats in a
crazy economy"
Congress can and should provide
the remedy"
