Who's like Justice Reed except
Justice Reed? You don't mean

going to do. He's going to name
Jimmie Byrnes to be Chief Justice
Can't you see, it's a natural. Byrnes
is not too happy as Secretary of
State, he liked being on the court,
all the Senators would be for him

But about Wallace"

why, when the President makes
Byrnes Chief Justice he'll have to
make Wallace Secretary of State
He can't ignore Wallace-most pop

anything about Russia, and we've
got to get along with Russia"

The gas company says the meters
will continue to register in cubic
feet and the meter readings will
appear on the bill; but, also, they
will be translated into therms. The
customer will find he is using less
gas, a company spokesman said, but
will be paying the same amount
each month if he uses the same
number of heat units. The COM
pany said it would keep accurate
check on the heat content of the
gas and adjust the bills accordingly.
Translated into cooking practices,
it will take less of the straight ma
tural gas to bring the water for the
3-minute egg to a boil and keep it
at the boiling point. Burners on the
gas stove will have to be adapted to
the burning of the new fuel, but the
company says it will take care of
that by house-to-house visits with
out charge.

Customers of the Washington Gas
Light Co. soon will make their ac-

straight natural gas from the mixed
natural and manufactured gas now

In anticipation, the company has
filed new rate schedules in Virginia
and Maryland which will merely
change the form of billing from
cubic feet to therms. Similar action
will be taken in the District.
A therm is 100000 BTUs. And

If you can do it, as Mrs. Roosevelt

help her protege, Joe Lash, youth

The CIO knows it has a vigorous
Communist membership and it has
admittedly avoided showdown with
them. The war was a good excuse,
the Communists luckily being pro-
war after Russia was involved. Now
the middle-roaders- Philir
Murray among them-are being
pushed by such men as Walter
Reuther, new UAM head, and Emil
Rieve, head of the Textile Workers,
to take the offensive.
Nos Easy Mark.
The new official justice line Is an
other strong prod. Probably only
some dramatic action will convince
the powers in Washington that a
CIO red purge is genuine. It is
not an easy task. The CIO BRAIN
trusters planning the Southern drive
were aware as practical matter
that it would be better to screen the
Reds and get homegrown products
in their shock troops. Both tasks
they concede, are proving difficult
They add somewhat wistfully that
the Commies make tenacious, mill
tant fighters in hard causes.
Another factor pushing CIO into
doing something about its Reds is
the new vigor infused into the AFL
by its new convert, John L. Lewis
Mr.. Lewis is ready to pounce on
CIO weakness to strengthen his own
labor and political standing.
