U. s. NOW IMPORTS LUMBER

Washington, D. C.-Though the United States had long been noted as a lumber exporter, it has become 3 lumber importing nation, the National Housing Agency reports.

Seeing Eye-w,o Unit

Wonder if the next Congress
is going to be reactionary on
account of the coal miners
strike and how much it is going
to hurt the rest of the Unions
in their demands for more
money to close the gap between
runaway prices and stabilized
Wages? We know of one way
that will help and that is join
ing a cooperative. This is the
only way we can cut our living
expenses. 1t costs you five dol
lars to join and fifty dollars for
a share. This may seem a lot
of money to you, but at the end
of the year it will look like
pennies when you get your di-
vidends. A group of Spicer
Unit members are going to es-
tablish a cooperative in West
Toledo and every Local No. IL,
UAW-CIO member has been in
vited to join.
We have often wondered why
the Safety Codes of the State of
Ohio cannot be enforced and
why they have long boards of
moss attached to them. They
were originally written up in
1923 with very little revision

We wonder who the brother
is from 25 Stock who drove in
PARK 3 in such hurry about
7i25 a. m. Dec. 10th, jumped out
of his 1941 Oldsmobile and
rushed into the factory leaving
his motor running and his lights
on. 1t must have been urgent
or he would not have taken the
chance of letting someone drive
it away.
A short time ago a couple of
our gals who bowl on the Twin
Oaks team tried out that old
dodge of follow the leader,
thinking they were far enough
ahead. But, alas and behold,
Mary Kern and Hazel Gray who
work in Dept. 267 both had
spares and Mary's first ball slid
in the gutter and Hazel, not to
be outdone, did the same.
If you have been reading the
daily paper lately you must no
tice how much publicity that
great idea of an annual wage is
receiving? We hope it can be
carried out so we will all be
able to figure from month to
month how much will have to
live on.

Members of the bowling

We are looking forward to

since then. The AFL has had
all the say in its original form
with industry. Now that CIO
wants to make changes with the
few brohers who have been al
lowed on the board, it is causing
a terrific headache to the con-

Because the overhead doors
on the south end of the subway
just outside of the factory hos
pital, which are supposed to be
operated by electric motors but
have been operated by hand
chains, do not work, I would
like to suggest to the manage

these doors would operate sat-

pathy to DWain Ashcraft upon

will leave for Toledo, Saturday
for the return home and home
game with Local IL. Good
luck, boys, and better luck this

British Labor
Keeps Winning

LONDON, Dec. 18 (LPA)-
In the 18 months that have
passed since the Labor Party
came to power, it has not lost a
single seat in Parliamentary by
elections. This record was main
tanned last week as Labor held
the seats of Kilmarnock Tin
(Scotland) and Aberdere Tin
Wales).
The Labor Party also won
two by-elections for seats in
Parliament in the London bor-
oughs of Paddington and Roth
erhithe. In Rotherhithe, a work
ing-class dockside area, the Con-
servative candidate got so few
votes that he forfeited his de-
post. There had been great in
terest in Paddington, a middle
class area that was expected to
give a good indication of wheth-
er Labor's grip on the middle
class vote has slackened. Here
the Conservatives did better,
but increased their vote over
that in the 1945 general cleo
ton by less than 100.

NEW YORK. Dec. 14.-Steels led

irregularity during the greater part
OF the short session.
Dealings subsidized In the wake OF
q fairly active opening. Prices then
began to stiffen in the Anal hour
and activity picked up bit. Gains
of fractions to a point predominated
near the close.
Transfers of around 100000 shares
compared with $4,000 a week ago,
which were the largest for Satur-
day since May II.
Lack Of any real liquidating ur-
gency and hopes that the usual
year-end rally would eventuate ap-
parently inspired a certain amount
of bidding. Some repurchasing by
those who had sold last month for
income tax purposes also provided q
prop for individual issues.
Further pleasing dividends and
earnings also aided sentiment.
Numerous customers, however, con-
tinued to hug the safety zone pend
ing moves by organized labor for
another round OF wage boosts.

tions of q substantial rebound in

Columbia u. to Build

to erect 2,5oo-ton cyclotron capable
OF producing energies OF 100000, ,0Oo
electron volts. The machine will be
on a par in energy with the great
cyclotron at the University of Cali

The Columbia plans are to use
protons - the heavy, positively
charged particles from atomic nuclei
and speed them up inside the
cyclotron until they reach the de-
sired voltage, presumably equivalent
to cosmic rays Of moderate energy.
Cosinic rays, under the present
theory, are protons entering the

Spain S Cabinet Terms
U. n. Assembly Action
Terrible Precedent
BY III. Assoeiated Press

MADRID, Dec. 1.-THE Spanish,
cabinet said last night that United
Nations action against Spain consti-
tutes IAN unjust decision" and "a

The cabinet thus took cognizance
of the U. N. General Assembly's rec
ommendation Thursday in New
York that member nations withdraw
their Ambassadors and Ministers
from Generalissimo Frances gov
ernment, leaving lesser diplomats
to represent them.

The cabinets statement, issued
after an eight-and-a-ha hour ses-
sion at Gen. Frances Ell Pardo
Palace, termed the U. N. resolution
"a terrible precedent for future re-
lations among peoples, which ma
jority of nations soon will regret;
an attempt at foreign interfer-
and "an unjust decision
adopted in manifest violation of the
of its (the u, Ms own

The charter forbids U. N. inter-

sentially within the domestic juris-
diction of any state:'
The cabinet said reaction in pop
ular demonstrations of the sex

people had relieved the govern
ment of further explanation on the
matter" (Such demonstrations
were reported this week from
Madrid and Barcelona)
Though calling the resolution an
''evil symptom of a hardly pacific
spirit" in the U. N, the cabinet said
it lacked efficiency and i'm
portance"
Spanish newspapers, taking the
same line, pointed out that no full
break was called for and
said the resolution was not bind
