eating that smoking tobacco

Thursday a similar experiment
on the life span Of rats was report
ed here by H. B. Haag, Jr.. j. b.
Weatherby, Doris Fordham and r.
S. Larson of the Medical college
of Virginia at Richmond.
The rats could not smoke ciga-
rettes, but the human smoking was
said to be simulated as closely as
possible by exposing the animals,
in a cage, to a nearby machine that
emitted about one big puff OF
smoke each minute.
The animals that were exposed
daily to the cigarettes lived an
average of 642 days. The non
smoked rats lived an average OF
SOL days.
But the non-smokers grew fat
ter and heavier than the smoking
rats. Otherwise there was little
difference. The blood pressure
were the same and autopsies after
death revealed no damage done to
the smokers as compared with the
non smokers.

And today the rest OF the prison
ers are wondering who will be
next.
1--WE don't want to leave Will
miagton, the prisoners tell the
farmers they have worked for.
I'VE want to stay here and became
citizens and till the land for you.
And the farmers hate to see
them leaving.
At conference yesterday in the
office of r. W. Galphin, county
farm agent, group Of Castle
Hayne farmers brought the matter
into the open.
I'VE hate to see the prisoners
leave Adam Sondey, Castle Hayne
farmer, said "Of course we haven't
had many to work for us since the
pulpwood industry grabbed most OF
them. But the ones we have had,
and the few we have now, don't
want to 60 away. We have treated
them like human beings and paid
them the regular farm labor
wages, and, in return, they proved
themselves to be human beings
like you and me-"
'I'll tell you what I'm willing to
do" Anthony Schlegel, another
farmer, said 1--WE heard that a
big official in New Jersey has ask
ed that all German prisoners of
war who want to come back here
be allowed to do 50 and in, say,
two years time, become U. S. citi-
zens.
IF Congress ever approves such
a proposal, I'm willing to share the
expense Of bringing the prisoners
back here. I'll help pay their trans
portation. If necessary, I'll put up
a surity bond guaranteeing their
good behavior>until they do become
citizens"
Meanwhile. the prisoners are
leaving the land they were taught
to hate and the land they have
learned to love.
Tons of paper and tank-car loads
OF ink have been expended to paint
the German people as ''barbarians
beyond hope Of ever becoming

True, there were, and are, many
bad Germans. There are also many

revolt. They theorized that such 8
development, particularly if it re-
suited in Soviet recognition Of

three suspected Russian aims:
forcing a pro-Soviet regime into
power in Iran; putting pressure on
the Turks to make territorial con-
cessions and yield Russian rights
in the Dardanelles, and giving the
British a new case of filters over
the vital Mosul oil fields in Iraq.
"Game of Bluff
Before the Presidents news con-
ference, the House Rules commit
tee heard a report behind closed
doors from Hartman and mem
bers described him later as believ-
ing the Russians are playing a
game of bluff"

war with anyone or is prepared to
fight another war; said commit
teemen who declined to permit use

OF the most stubborn obstacles to
full production Of peacetime goods.
Pay to New Levels
They constituted a major develop
ment in a general, nationwide
wage increase movement that is
raising the pay of American work
ers to new levels.
Raises had been demanded by
the Labor unions Immediately aft.
err the war ended. Government Of.
ficials from President Truman
down had said in one way or an.
other that workers should get in
creases to keep their weekly pay
from dropping drastically after
elimination Of wartime overtime
and to keep purchasing power at
a high level after the war.
Thus, many Americans were
wondering this:
Are Wages Enough?
Are the wage increases that
have been negotiated high enough
to satisfy the demands of the
economy for a high level Of pro-
duction and consumption-so that
the country can feel that it can
settle down to a period of unin-
terrupted production?"
That was the question put to
Snyder, Bowles, and Wallace.
Snyder's answer follows:
''If we maintain the sterilization
program, I am Of the opinion that
the wage settlements that have
been made during the last few
are sufficiently high to pro-
vide continuing high level OF pur.
chasing power to support a period
of prosperous full production.
II am confident that the coun-
try can settle down and look for
ward to production moving ahead
at a high speed. The one hurdle
remaining in reconversion is early,

tracts in the coal industry"

No Rift With Byrnes
Against this background Presi.
dent Truman at his news confer
ence volunteered a declaration that
he wanted to make it strong and
emphatic that there is no founda-
ton to continuing rumors of a rift
between himself and Secretary of
State Byrnes. He added that there
never has been such rift, and he
hoped there never will be one.
After a reporter used the phrase
Spontaneous combustion to de-
scribe the origin of the Byrnes-
Truman dispute stories that have
been floating around town for
months, Mr.. Truman said that the
rumors either came from spon-
|taneous combustion or someone Just
wants to tell big lie.

he considered the international sit

then elaborated on his lack of an
prehension.
