AUTOMATIC WASHER.
SMOKED HAM.

from Mrs. M. M. M, MdndSSdS.J
In answer to Mrs. j. L. j. of Wash
ington, I must add my two cents
worth. I used a wringer type washer
for 18 years, thought it was fine
Now I have an automatic washer
like it much better than old type. II
uses very little more soap and wa
ter and our water is very hard. I fine
II I do not use water sottener II
takes a lot more soap.
It washes clothes as clean as
wringer type for me and I couldnt
possibly rinse them as well as the
automatic washer. What job it was
fishing the clothes out OF the no,
water to put through the wringer, as
I wash white clothes in almost boil
ing water!

slices of as much as you wish tc

Leave the Supreme Court Alone

John ODonnell writing in the New York Daily News yesterday said that President Truman has in effect request ed the resignation of four of the members of the United States Supreme Court Justices Black Fankurther and Murphy If this is the presidential judgment is serving of good round condemnation.
 Most of our Presidents have recognized the necessity of keeping the courts skirts unsuied by politics. One the few political mistakes the late President Roosevelt made was his attempt to pack the court. President Truman seemed to honor the principle of non-polcal Supreme Court in his first appointment to the Court of Republican Justice Harold Burton
 No American institution has maintained it's honored place consistently has the Supreme Court. While the Jackson Black feud has been dspeasng Americans still have Court the members of which not even accused of anything than poor judgment The Amer can people do not welcome amperng with this safeguard to their rights.
 The way to guarantee the high character of the Court s to exercise ccumspection and high motives the time the justices appointed to demand resgnaons manipulate its membership Protection against such pot- cal pressure from outside is at the worthy will consider appointment to the Court and the reason it the bulwark of our constitutional rights

Rendezvous Is Here
By Thomas Stokes

House chamber seemed to be filled with his presence for this few moments.
 The service over Mrs Roosevelt left with her .on, Elliott, and his wife President Truman rose md walked up the main aisle and out of the House
 The mantle has fallen upon him. Over this IaS weekend he had assumed it. He spoke out in behal ef the plain people
 After the service, the big issue of the day thun. dered again in the House, s6 quiet only few min. utes before The issue was stated clearly by Presi- dent Truman-whether the people to be pro- k to be triumphant.
 The issue is simple the solution is not. The solu- Jion is not simple because it involves far more than Roosevelt grasped well Spelled out, it is simply:
 Who Owns The United States?"
 All about signs that the destiny of the people as it relates to jobs and homes and security is controlled by fewer and fewer men in industry on swiftly during the war and this private govern ment IS getting bigger than the peoples government
 Proof is plentiful. There was the recent report of the smaller war plants corporation. Showing that during the big corporate interests grew bigger For another there the recent sale of the Geneva payers money to U. s. Steel already giant for 47 million dollars and with the Attorney Generals approval
 Other plants built with the peoples money likewise have gone to big interests to make them bigger The concentration Of economic power is go- ing on in numerous other ways.
 The fight for price control is only one skirmlsh in the overall to the peoples government for the people.

Who Killed OPA?

WASHINGTON, July 5- (NEA) The atomic bomb dropped on Bikini greater an explosion than was the one President Truman dropped in vetong OPA extension. This Operation Cross what's left? What be savaged? Which way do they go from here?
 Whatever the damage Bikni, it could not be worse than the economic rubbe in Washington. The majority of Congress, apparently intent on wrecking OPA, succeeded beautifully Whatever credit they want for that, they're welcome to.
 But since this thing happened the way it did, there's no use crying about it. If you want to be an optmls, you can hope it will work out all right in spite of the confusion
 This interval of the next week or so in which Congress tries to make up what you might call its mind" on what cOntrolS-if any-should be slapped back on, may give the country chance to see just how much inflauonary pressure there really is.
 If prices don't Soar-if rents aren't raised-if there aren't lot of noises that sound like increased wage demands a-coming-if people don't flock into the markets to buy everything in sight because they cloud-if stocks of merchandise supposedly held off the market aren't now offered at fantastic prices since they have been freed of price controls
 If all these things don't begin to happen, then U will be good demonstration that the country is now ready to have the controls taken off and free economy restored.
 On the other hand if all these things do begin to happen within the next few weeks and before Congress can act, it will demonstrate that OPA should be continued for a while longer And it will then be up to Congress to get the OPA brakes refined in order to keep the country from going into an inflationary skid. over the brink.
 There are couple of catches to any such test as this.
 l. If prices don't go up much in the next few weeks, there may be a suspicion that the people who have things to sell are just being good for the

Just because Washington confusion is greater at the moment than for for the of Hs to lose our heads the OPA veto.
 We must separate the political naneuvering from the truth Of there will be individual extortionists and explo1ters as there in situation like this The danger develops when permit small minority of such propagandze into believing such cases are typical
 The Democrat believes in the morality and integrity of the great majority of American businessmen believe count them to hold the price line within honest and reasonable limits We also happen to believe in the n exorable law of supply and demand which so many po tcans, socialists and communists think they alter completely abrogate.
 There is nothing to be gained but much be lost endless upward spiral of wages and prices Such pro- produces dollars rue but the less pur chasing power. From such development there no gain except the expoers the average man suffers beyond question.

MIR. BoWLEs AND POLITICS
(The Hartford Times

The end of the OPA and the re- tirement from public office of Chester Bowles confront the Demo- cratic party of Connecticut With an opportunity and a problem,
 The opportunity is to capitalize upon the prestige which MT BowleS has gained, first as State then Fed eral Administrator of the OPA and later as the head of the Office of Economic Stabilization. and place him upon the State ticket for the November election The general understanding is that MT. BoWles is not adverse to continuing in public life
 The problem presented is whether he shall be nominated for Governor or for United States Senator.
 Unless MT. BoWles has changed his mind, his own preference is for the governorship. It is our under standing that he has no particular desire to become a resident of Washington, or to participate in the solution of problems on the national level, but that he would prefer to live in Connecticut and have to do with State matters
 Senator Brien McMahon speaks with the largest voice of anyone in Democratic affairs of the State. Common understanding is that he is not at all opposed to any am- bitions or willingness which MT. Bowles may have to be a candidate. He is reputed to believe, however, that the former Federal Admins trator would be better placed as a candidate for the Senate.
 The party is fortunately situated in that Ut. Gov Wilbert Snow who is entirely willing to seek higher office, would run for either Cover nor or Senator as the party leaders might think best. His intellectual equipment and experience fit him for either nomination. That is also true about Mi. BoWles, although the latter has already had a large and fortifying experience in national af- fairs.
 It will doubtless soon become known whether MT. Bowles is in- sistent upon trying for the gover- norShip If he is, he will not be too easily deterred from that, as is demonstrated by the stick-to-it- iveness he has shown in the federal office.
 The reason he is not wanted by some as Governor is a fear that he might not be amendable to sugges- tions from party leaders with re- spect to appointments and similar matters. Organization leaders would like to make certain of stronger voice in appointments than they
