Sn,uts Gives
 UN Warning

LAKE SUCCESS, N. Y, Nov. 16 Field Marshal Jan Christian Shuts, Permier of South Africa, told the United Nations flatly to- day that he was prepared to take over mandated Southwest Africa by unilateral action if the General Assembly refused to approve his proposal for it's annexation.
 Challenging Russia's assertion that the U N charter compels the placing of all former League of Ma tions mandates under the proposed trusteeship system. the 76-year-old South African leader declared;
 If the Assembly does not act favorably on the Southwest Atli- can request for incorporation, then South Africa. has no other alter native but to continue to admins ter the territory as an integral part of the Union of South Africa. ;"
 He spoke as the trusteeship battle flared again, with a British declar- ation disputing Russia's contention that Palestine and all other League mandates must be placed under U. N. trusteeship.

with the Government, he is nego- tiating with loaded dice and a cold deck One of his best friends, War Reconverter John Steelman, sits at the right hand of the Presi- dent So at the end of every coal crisis, according to some Cabinet members, beaming John Steelman stands with outstretched arms, ready to welcome Lewis with fa- vorable contract.
 Other labor leaders claim that Steelman never has been known to let Lewis down. Once John L. gets his dispute to the White House, he can always count on his friend. After Steelman is fin ished all Lewis has to do is pick up his marbles spit in the public eye, and strut home.

INDIVIDUAL SAVINGS

The Institute of Life Insurance reports that drino the first half of l946 accumulated savings of individuals rose to new high level AS of June the aoeregate savings held in the form of United States Savings Bonds life insurance, savings accounts and savings and loan associations almost Sl5O000,- GOO GOO Exclusive of life insurance they were around SLOT 900 100000 These highly liquid savings which are readily convertible into cash Additional savings are found in the large volume of currency in cir culation which now IS approximately S28OO0OooO0o
 During the first half of this year the total volume of savings was reported have increased by $6ooo- 900 900 This increase is particularly interesting ln light of the many statements made last spring that as result of the strikes workers using up their savings" The fact is that savings drawn upon by workers are transferred to other persons in the country The figures cited above indicate that, on balance even though Series Bond redemptons have exceeded sales the types of savings which workers hold increased during the period of widespread strikes.
 The volume of savings will remain at record hlgh levels so long as factors which led to their creation are not reversed These savings reflect the failure o the Government to pay for the war out Of current income The volume of savings be reduced only if the Government obtains budgetary surplus which it uses to retire part of it's outstanding debt, Until that date arrives although transfer of savings among individuals will take place, significant reduction in the total amount is to be expected.

 Now comes a report from Moscow that Nina Klyueva and her husband, Gregory Roskn, has sue ceeded in "dissolvng" cancers with a preparation named KR, the K" standing for Klyueva and the R" for Roskin. This KR turns out to be bacteria toxin prepared from trypanasoma cruzzi, which is carried by insects and which is deadly to man and beast the light of the record the Russian nvesti gators far from having discovered anything new in principle have merely added another bacterial toxin to fairly long list. It may be that theirs is more effective as the account of Klyuevas success with large percentage of l3Oo0 cancerous mice seems to indicate. So many cures have been heralded in the last fifty years that medical men will not receive the news from Moscow with enthusiasm. At present the most that be said of KR is that it holds out and no less promise than does mustard gas metals cochicine Ia remedy for gout which is fatal in large doses) and about fifty other preparations.

Jr. to recognize a labor union - after Rockefeller had proclaimed that the House of Rockefeller would never bargain with wage earncrs. This was in the pioneer days, when Wall Street settled its labor troubles with armed killers. During this dispute, Lawson was indicted on a trumped-up charge of murder, and was defended by Sen. Ed Costigan of Colorado.
 In the very middle of the trial, Lewis fired Lawson from the Un- ion-an act which many miners in- terpreted as Lewis deal with Wall Street Immediately Lawson became a hero. He became even more of a hero when Lewis would not let him go back to work with a pick and shovel. Fe was even barred as a common laborer.
 For his treatent of Lawson. Lewis won the undying hatred of Moth CT Jones" the grand old lady of labor" to whom Rockefeller even 'ually apologized for his ruthless treatment of Colorado labor.
 Even as late as 1880, Mother Jones. then 100 years old, gave Sl,000 ol her meagre funds to the anti-Lewis campaign inside the United Mine Workers Her last public words were: T only hope may live long enough to see John L. Lewis licked"
 When a coal miner dared speak out against Lewis in union meet ings ill those days, his remarks Wele expurged from the minutes, and locals were ordered to expel anti-LeWis members on the threat of having their charters revoked. And during l926-l928, Lewis and Bill Green actually revoked the charters of 42 locals which refused to expel anti-LeWisites.
 Adolf Hitler was then just be- ginning his budding Brown Shirt movement; so Lewis could not have adopted his tactics from him. Whether Hitler, in turn, learned from Lewis is Hitler's story.

LEWIS VS. USA

Today John L. Lewis, in the full flush of power and glory, is demanding that the American people, faced with cold winter and few coal reserves, knuckle un- der
 Lewis may get what he wants this time-thanks to his friend John Steelman in the White House. But sooner or later the showdown has got to come. A continued surren- der to the unsuitable greed of one man is something the American people will not long tolerate.
 In order that they may know the man with whom they even tually must come to grips, here is a quick look at the life of the labor leader about when Euey Long once said old Huey thinks this John [. Lewis will be the most powerful man in the USA- unless I get there first
 Most people have the idea that John l. Lewis worked lis way up as a coal miner. Real fact how ever, is that John was never in the mines to any great extent. His father was 6 coal miner. but John was an organizer, a talker and q union delegate He never raised many caloUses digging coal.
 No matter what you may think of Lewis, however, his life reads like a Horatio Alger story. Born in Iowa, never attending school be- yond the seventh grade, Lewis ran a debating society. managed a baseball team, wandered around the country doing odd jobs including some coal mining. But chiefly he concentrated on public speaking and before long had talked himself into delegates job with the United Mine Workers
 Thereafter he became a statis- tician for the Union, joined the inner clique of bureaucrats inside union headquarters and rose to power along with Bill Green as a good speaker and wire-puller with III the miners bureaucracy.
 LEWIS HITLERIAN METHODS
 Up until that time there had been a certain amount ol demo- cratic freedom inside the Union. Lewis was not immediately the iron-fisted ruler he is today. His first ruthless tactics were tried out on John L. Lawson of Colo rado and the incident nearly wrecked him
 Lawson was the first labor lead CT to force John D. Rockefeller

Thirty-Hour Week
(Washington Post)


 Nonfarm employment is at peacetime high levels and the volume of unemployment down to two million a figure so low to indicate that the country is for all practical purposes full employment basis In some lines, indeed, labor shortages constitute a brake expansion of output Under such conditions with consumers camoring for goods and zooning prices registering the intensity of their unsatised demands the AFL at it's annual convention actually pledged itself work for the establishment of 30- hour week
 It is impossible to reconcile this objective with President Greens recent appeal to workers to stab lize their wage dollars by helping to increase the volume of production which can wipe out scarcities and the danger of runaway nfation" For the amount of goods that can be produced at any given time depends not only upon the efficiency of the individual worker but also upon time worked To be sure eX- cessvely long hours resulting in undue fatigue may reduce rather than increase output. But with work week 40 hours less there slight danger of that happening. Over a long period of time it might be possible to cut the working week to 30 hours or less and still maintain production at the levels now ob- ainable by working 40 hours. But that could only be done by introducing labor savings devices on an ex- ensive scale and then foreiting the advantages of the potential increase in labors productivity by etng machines lie idle, for lack of operators
 For a long time to come, certainly, additional leisure for workers can only mean fewer goods and services for the public to enjoy-hence lower real wages More leisure bought at such price would soon cease to be regarded as boon.

 But Woodrow Wilson acted with fortnight decision. Calling it an unjustifiable" and unlawful" strike, Wilson secured an injunc- ton against the miners, whereupon the clustering miners boss backed down.
 We cannot fight the Govern ment," he declared and ordered his men back to work.
