L0GGERS OF B.C. MAKE DEMANDS
 FOR HIGHER PAY

VANCOUVER, B. C., Dec. 30.- Logging men declare the timber in the Queen Charlotte area of Brit ish Columbia is bigger, the terrain is more rugged, the falling is hard CT and the weather is more severe than in other localities. And so they intend to boycott the nine Queen Charlotte Island logging camps until operators agree to pay eight cents an hour more and fare for 1947
 This is announced by Harold Pritchett, president of the British Columbia district of the Inter- national Woodworkers Association Pritchett says union representatives are to meet the employers today to talk things over. The union has rejected an increase of five cents an hour, but Pritchett declares the boycott is not strike-merely a mass decision to obtain work else where.

Ap Tells How cop Elephant

(BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS ]

The Republican victory in No- vember was one of the major news events of the year, and today the Associated Press took look at the election returns and explained how the COP elephant did it.
 The official vote returns tabu- lated by the Associated Press re- veal that the COP made its strong est showing in the East and Mid west-that is, in the nations more thickly populated areas.
 Each of these two key areas has a. dozen states-a total of 24-and in them the Republicans captured POT of the party's total of 246 seats in the new House of Representa- tives.
 In all but three of those 24 key states, the COP rolled up a bigger combined vote than the Democrats in the House elections. This alone would be more than enough to win the Presidency in l948 if the plur- alities were maintained. That $ because the 21 Eastern states that went Republican in November have a combined electoral vote of 294. All a candidate needs is 266 cleo toral votes to send him to the White House

RUMp GROUP OF G0pERS I5
 CHALLENGED
Sen. Tobey Declares Be- Ieeting of Committee
 Heads Is Wrong
By JACK BELL

WASHINGTON. Dec. 30.-Senate Republican leaders plan to divide up committee assignments at an af- ternoon meeting bumped into a challenge from Senator Tobey tR- MID today of their right to act now
 In advance of the meeting, Tobey told reporters that a rule adopted by the Republican conference (the organization of Senate COP. mem bers) on Dec. IS, l944, forbids mak- ing or approving any committed assignments until after Congress actually convenes.
 He took notice of statements by members of the outgoing Republi- can committee on committees that they were merely making recom- mendations to the full group of 5l Republican Senators and Senator's elect.
 Tobey called this committee a "rump' group, but declared:
 Any child of adolescence who doesn't know that those recommen- dations will gather the forces of a snowball is just kidding himself
 Totey's attitude and a bid by Senator Reed of Kansas for the Commerce committee chairmanshir tentatively assigned by the lead CTS to Senator White of Maine raised the prospect of sharp row lin the COP meeting.
 N The gathering of all COP eSena- tors was called to agree on organ ization of the Senate branch ot the new Congress and parcel out the choice leadership posts& Tobey made it clear he would challenge at the meeting the right of what he called a trump" com mittee on committees to make any committee assignments. He declared that under existing rules, the new committee on com mittees could not be appointed un- til after the next session of con- gross actually convenes on Friday

 WASHINGTON = Except for the mailman, today is a day when Washington and the Government shut up shop. Even Bureaucrats, being human, need Christmas. In fact, we all do.

 Like the mailman, however, a columnist is supposed to work on Christmas Day. His public may not want to read word on Christ mas, and he himself may be much more interested in his sons ac- quired electric train. But that makes no difference. The column must go on.

CHARGES
 AGAINST
 RUSSIA
Special House Com. Makes Report : Sharp Official
 Criticism of Soviets
(By Alex H. Singleton)


 WASHINGTON, Dec 30-Charges of economic achievement political terrorism, religious repression, brok- en promises and ambitions for mili- tary power were leveled against Russia today by the Special House Committee on postwar economic policy.
 The Committee report the sharpest official criticism of Rus sia on Capitol Hill since the Soviet Union went to war with Germany demanded that the United States assert positive leadership" in Euro pean economic affairs.
 Simultaneously it asserted that if Russia actually is found to be us- ing German war plants to rearm, the Western Allies should denounce the entire Potsdam Big Three agreement and demand that the Soviets "evacuate Germany com pletely."
 Protest Made
 First reaction to the committees document came in the form of a protest against headline hunters" bPJmoI---h-tign cmfwyta hrdluuu tiring Chairman of the House For eign Affairs Committee.
 Bloom told reporters the commit tee should have submitted it's evil dence, If it has any to the State and War Departments for investi- gation. He contended the report would do far more harm than gocd' in current diplomatic nego- tiations.
 The State Department declined any immediate comment.
 The unanimous committee report offered a number of specific rec ommendations. among them
 General Review
 1. A review of the financial as- poets of American occupation policy in order to substitute productive and self-supporting economies in ex-enemy countries for the present method of supporting them with American money while they in turn are being drained by Russia and France"
 ?. Loans to American occupation authorities through the Export Inn port Bank to start the flow of raw materials necessary for industrial production.
 3. An inquiry into restrictions on the movement of American busi- nessmen, and into the methods "by which freedom of access into for eign countries of American infor- nation agencies including books, magazines, papers and movies as we'll as our reporters can be facilit- ated"
 Safeguarding Trade
 4. A specific study of safeguard ing the trade recommendation with respect to the abuse of state trading practices, particularly by the state monopolies of nations who are not members" of the World Bank, monetary fund or similar international organizations
 5. A moratorium on the sale of surplus vessels to Russia until her wartime lend lease agreements have been kept.
 The Committee charged Russia with failure to keep Potsdam and other agreements, and declared that the Soviet agreement in prin- ciple" to broaden outlines of inter- national Atomic inspection does not guarantee performance.
 It asserted that the most seri- ous of all violations of the Pots dam agreement is the alleged re- arming of Russia by German plants in the Russian controlled zones, in- cluding the rocket-making plants and testing grounds at Peene- munde which were to have been scrapped"

LAKE SUCCESS, N. r., Dec. 30-- Andrei A. Gromyko, Soviet Russian Delegate, rejected today the United States demand that the veto be waived on Atomic control and call ed for an item-by y-item discussion of the United States Atomic plan
 Speaking to the most critical meeting of the United Nations Atomic Energy Commission, Gro myko said the United States, by proposing there should be no veto on punishments of nations violat- ing the Atomic Pact, was in fact revising the United Nation Charter.

has little children.
But about this $3.50 proposition.
Do you ever consider your husbands
side Of the matter? Somehow wives
almost always think that their hus-
bands not only work shorter hours
than they do, but that their work is
easier. They picture their husbands
as having good times, listening to
good stories, playing at their jobs,
and they don't see why they COM
plain Of being tired out when they
come home at night and want to
stay home and 60 to bed, instead Of
stepping out to some place Of
amusement. They don't realize that
when a man holds down a job that
will support family. he has to put
all of the strength and energy he
has into it. He has given his so per
cent to the upkeep and is entitled
to rest while he is at home.
OF course, doing the housework
for family is no picnic, but it isn't
as exhausting as the mans work,
because there are always times dur
ing the day when woman, who has
any management at all about her,
can stop and rest, or gossip with a
neighbor. There are always inter-
ludes when the baby is asleep and
the children in school, when she
can take a nap or do something to
amuse herself. So while the wife's

Dorothy Dix Saws

Dear Miss Dix: I am married and
have two children, both very young.
My husband says that it isn't his
job to take care Of them and amuse
them when he is at home. He says
that his job is to earn the money to
support the family. He works six
days q week. Don't you think that
he should take care of the children
for at least an hour every day so
that + can have a little rest, and
that he should take me out some
evenings so that could have some
recreation? He says he is tired
after his days work. Well, I'm
tired, too.
He comes home from work. reads
the paper, eats his supper and goes
to bed. He doesn't even help me
wash the dishes What should
do? Isn't marriage supposed to be
$3.50 proposition. MRS. G. B.
Answer-The $3.50 marriage is
the ideal marriage proposition, but
I doubt if, in reality, 1t ever exists
Always in marriage there is one who
loves the most, who makes the most
sacrifices, who bears the heaviest
burdens, and the one who gets the
hot end of the bargain is oftener the
wife than the husband.
This is unfair, but in the cases
where a family must live on a lin
tied income I do not see how it can
be prevented. For nothing is truer
than the old proverb that man
works from sun to sun, but woman's
work is never done. And especially

her designs we noticed the new un-

on one side, and hens cut in gentle
scallops or draperies. Very often
the hemlines were cut, in modera-

glorious era of the career girl
Grow up and be a housewife, said
she? Cook, clean? Not for her.
SHE was going to have a career
mind you-not a job, even an inter-
est1ng one, but career, that
smacked of things glamorous, and
way, way out of this world.
And once there was another little
miss who had her feet on the
ground, and who started at tender
age to find things that held her in
terest. Said miss grew up to be in
teresting herself, and as apt to trek
to the Senate to hear filibuster
as to enjoy a smooth date.
