bering what some of these simple rules are:
Avoid buying black market products
at black market prices.
Keep savings intact
Help reconversion along by working at
a useful job.
Help production along by seeing to it
that nothing happens to block the free
flow of peacetime goods to the American
buying public.
In this last respect the people OF this
and similar communities have special
obligation. The pulpwood produced here
and elsewhere goes to make paper and
paperboard for packaging and shipping
the products of reconversion, to make,
newsprint for advertising them, and to
make. stationery for business correspond
ence, business records and all the other
stepped-up business needs. Without suf-
ficient supply of this critical material the
smooth movement of products from pro-
Queer to buyer could be seriously crippled,
opening the way for initiation.
It is of vital Importance that mills in
this area be provided with all the top quail
ity pulpwood so urgently needed by them
NOW.

Want A Ship?

The House of Representatives has just
legislated and given authority for the sale
or charter of II billion dollars in surplus
ships from the vast wartime fleets. There
are all kinds of ships and craft offered to
the public at Touchdown prices, with
preference to United States and Philip
pine citizens. If you happen to want a
Liberty Ship the chances are that it might
be bought for 81 IL per cent of its orig
inal cost. Dry-cargo ships are priced at
IS per cent of cost and tankers at SO
per cent.
There was lot of opposition to the
measure when the House compromised
with the Senate legislation. During the
debate number of Congressman, includ-
ing Knutson of Minnesota and Weichel of
Ohio made bitter attacks upon the War
Shipping Administration and the Mari
time Commission Mr. Knutson said that
certain tax phases" should be investigated
as the new legislation provides for un-
reasonable tax refunds, while MIR. Weichel
charged that many facts about war-bu1lt
ships were Suppressed and withheld'' by
government agencies. He declared: "Shady
and unholy deals were whitewashed and
so-called ships contractors were handed
free money running into untold millions,
and no one knows how much"
A shipbuilding scandal would keep us
in step with the records which involved
the big steel corporations in previous wars

Give To The Red Cross

The Red Cross Campaign Fund Drive
is now on and this means that every citizen
will have. an opportunity to make con-
tribution to one Of the greatest organiza-
tons in the world.
Remembering what the Red Cross has
done should make everyone want to give
generously. But more important, too, is
the fact that the Red Cross still has job
to do. Many boys are still in service and
others in the hospital. For them, the Red
Cross is most important. The home serv-
ice work as well as its work in many other
fields still must be done. The work of your
of your Red Cross is never done. That is
why it must have your support.

Spies Or Intelligence

Japan and Germany knew most of our
plans for battleships, airplanes, guns and
rockets before war began. Likewise, we
had blueprints of their implements of
war. Now the nations of the world are in
a mad scramble for atomic information.
Other nations are Spying" on us, while
our Intelligence" organization is watch
full to learn what others are doing.
Whether it is known as "spy system"
or intelligence" it is an old habit Of ma
tons to find out about its neighbors. Just
as all nations have automobiles, airplanes,
rockets, bombs and machine guns, SO will
all have the atomic bomb sometime.

The Housing Shortage

Undoubtedly there should be great
many more houses built in the United
States to accommodate the great increase
in population.
In many sections of the country houses
and business buildings have been going
skyward in prices since the war began.
New legislation is proposed by the Ad-
ministration to help civilians, including
the military service, to finance new homes
with Government money that can be paid
back in installments by young couples and
by their children, after the old folks are
dead.
A few patriotic souls are putting up
big, and justifiable roar against the Gov
ernment's do-nothing policy about making
100000 publicly owned homes available for
residential purposes. There are enough
of these buildings in the Washington, D. C..
area to house hundreds of thousands OF
people looking for places to hang up their
hats pajamas, and nightgowns.
If all these public buildings that are
now practically idle were thrown into
home building programs it would put a
crimp in the real estate boom that is al
ready out of control.

This Week In
Washington

Washington, D. CAS- Cana
da's investigation of it's atomic
spy ring progressed and rumors
persisted that ramifications of
the case extended to the U. S.,
Secretary of State Byrnes sought
to reassure Americans that this
country alone still held the all
important secret of manufactur-
ing the A-bomb.
At the same time, Byrnes took
pains to deny charges that the
state department had interfered
with the FBI's probe of an atom
ic spy ring in the U. S. to avoid
giving offense to Russia.
Capitol insiders supported
Byrnes' public reassurances,
soothing at reports that Rus
sian agent had been permitted to
leave west coast port with a
suitcase loaded with atomic in
formation, since plans for all
phases Of A-bomb development
would weigh many tons. Insid-
ers also scotched a story that the
FIJI had been compelled to re-
lease another Red operative in
New York City, declaring that
the Omen lacked sufficient evil
dence to hold the man.
Meanwhile, close observers an
xiously awaited the effect of the
Canadian investigation upon the
already strained British Russian
relations. Though openly ad-
hitting that its military attache
had collected atomic information
from Canadians prior to his re-
call, Russia sought to minimize
the incident by accusing the do
minion Of trying to divert atten-
ton from Communist champion
ing of the cause of independence
for subject people.

The county had an assigned

Wars. breed crimes, and now we are in
the center of a crime wave. Before the
war closed more persons aged II were ar
rested than in any other age group. Ac-
cording to J. Edgar Hoover, one out of
every twenty-three inhabitants in the
United States is member of a potential
crime army of 100000 And when Hoover
makes a statement of that kind, it is true.
The majority of veterans will soon set
tie down and continue their civilian lives
where they left off. But too many of those
men and women are having hard times
shaking off encouragement, or trying to
regain their normal health. They are only
a small part of the so-called laW-breakers.
But the youngsters of II years of age ap-
pear to have lost their heads, and too many
of them have become sports and adven-
turers.
Perhaps Mr.. Hoover is the strongest
power the Nation has ever had to fight
against crime. He advises stamping out
juvenile delinquency, sponsoring recre-
ational centers, establishing physical train
ing programs to maintain high standards
of ethics. He establishes first-class law
enforcement agencies. He suggests that
there should be an increase of programs
for the proper care of children whose
mothers must work. and he tells parents
that they must pay very close attention
to their primary responsibilities in their
own homes.
Hoover thinks that the veterans have
gone through terrible experiences in life
that will round them out as strong citi-
zens. He looks to them to lead the way
to bring the country back to normal.

Fighting Initiation

Someone once asked Calvin Coolidge
whether he had any opinions on the subject
of sin. "rmagin it, " he said.
Today, on the subject of initiation, it is
safe to say, that n9Qst American people feel
pretty much the same way. They are
@agin" it.
But being against anything isn't neces-
sarily the best way to do anything about
it. And talking about what ought to be
done isn't NECESSARILY going to get that
necessary something done.
& Actually, the best place to start fight
ing initiation is right at home, in ones

Washington. June 4.-CUPD-Re- publicans demanded today that Congress investigate what they called a Se.OO7 .l03 60 scandal in the Maritime Commission and Wal Shipping Administration.
