Mrs. VIM r. Warren said, in
making this encouragement, that
the proposes of the Sunday af-
ternoon affairs. is to "aCqualnt
the residents here with the hos
pital, of which we are 50 proud.
Mrs. Warren also said the Aux

expense of the gifts, and are

terday film strikers defied a court
order, and 600 of them were ar
rested, and this morning the or
der was defied again and 200
more were locked up in Jail.
AS the strikers this morning
were being marched to Jail, they

The court had ordered the
union motion picture workers to
use not more than Is men in
picketing the studios. Yesterday
an estimated 1000 were in the
picket line, and almost one-half
of them escaped when the po-
lice charged into their ranks.
Back came those who ran
away yesterday to do picket
duty, and again the police broke
into the ranks and succeeded in
arresting 200 of them.

Decent and Courageous
Democrats, Republicans
Alike, Stcttinius Says
tBy The Associated PresO

RICHMOND, Va, Nov. 16.-
Decent and courageous men in
the Republican and Democratic
parties are very much the same"
Edward StettiniuS, former Secre-
tary of state and rector of the
University of Richmond, said to-
day in an address at the univer-
sity.
He made that statement as a
prelude to his contending that BIZ
partisan action can promote the
interests of the United States at
home as we'll as in it's foreign
policy.
Stettinius remarked that mil
lions of people in the United
States seem to thing that all the
ills of the country, abroad and
at home, had been cured by the
election of Republican majoritieS
in the house and the senate.
He added that the only way "a
cure" can be effected is for Re-
publicanS and Democrats to work
unselfishly for the common good.

Sawyer Submits
Motion For New
TrialOf Watson

Attorney John G. Sawyer, de-
Tense counsel for David Joseph
Watson, ex-Navy cook, convicted
of the murder of his Shipmate
by a u. S. District Court earlier
this week. filed a motion in ar
rest of judgment for a new trial
yesterday with Clerk of the
United States District Court,
Rodney Gwynn.
Judge John w. Holland will
hear arguments on the motion on
Saturday, December 7, at II am.
Sawyer said he was basing his
motion on the signed confession
and its bearing on the premedita-
ton element. He contends that
the court erred in admitting the
signed confession, chief proof of
generalization.
Sawyer said he would also
argue on Constitutional grounds,
contending that the u. S. District
Court did not have jurisdiction to
try the case. Under the Fifth
Amendment to the u. S. Con-
stitution, he said, men in the
armed services are to be tried
by court martial while the coun-
try is still in a state of war.
Meanwhile, u. S. Marshal
Myrtland Gates and Bailiff-
Guard Louis M j. Eisner return
ed to Key West after taking Wat
son TO the prison at Punta Gorda,
used for federal prisoners. They
said that Watson made the entire
trip without comment: / $'

Closing Of Price
Control Board
Here Announced

The Price Control Board at
Key West, serving Monroe
county, is now closed, Albert B.
Cooper, chairman of the local
board, announced today.
"This step marks the con-
clusion of almost five years of
unprecedented patriotic service
by the citizens of Key West and
Monroe county, who, through
their thousands of hours of vol
untary work, have prevented in
flationary dangers from taking
effect and saw that their neigh
bors had an equal right to their
share of scarce commodities
during the days of rationing,"
Mr.. Cooper said.
members of Key Vests Price
Control Board stayed on the job
for more than a year after the
end of the war. Production has
had a chance to catch up with
demand. Now that President
has announced the program for
accelerating the remaining war
time controls, Price AdminiStra-
tor Paul A. Porter has determin-
ed that the remaining functions
of local boards can be continued
by the District OPA Office at
Miami, Florida"
Mr.. Cooper gave the following
information as to the conducting
of OPA business in the future;
/. Trade and consumer in
quiries about price control for
merly handled by Price Control
Boards should be addressed to
the OPA District Office, in Mi
ami, Florida.
2. Certificates of Transfer COW
ering sales of used passenger
automobiles may be obtained
from principal auto dealers. Deal
ers should request additional
supplies from the OPA Regional
Mail Center at Atlanta, Georgia.
3. Sugar rationing has been
administered from the District
Office since last January. In the
future, sugar forms required by
the trade and consumers may
be obtained from the District
Office.
4. Pending compliance actions
by the board will be transferred
to the District Office.
5. The local board office was
closed for the transaction OF
public business on November 4.
However, the paid clerical per-
sonnet is continuing on duty dur
ing the month of November In
order to transfer records to the
District Office and to perform
many other duties involved in
closing the board,

means might be necessary should be
adopted to keep them from voting.
He had no rival in his stirring up
of base race passions except former
Gov. Talmadge of Georgia. Bilboism
and Talmadgism are both respon-
sible for the brutal race riots that
have broken out in some parts of
the South since election day. Ger
tain types of whites, who themselves
live on the ragged edge of an eco
nomic system that does not pass
prosperity around" cannot be alto
gether blamed If they take their
cue from a Bilbo or Talmadge.
Probably 1t would have more
salutary effect on the country if
Mr.. Bilbo were denied his seat in
the United States Senate because of
his scornful f1outing of the rights
guaranteed to Negroes under the
Constitution of the United States.
Of course, a Bilbo could do this
without a qualm of his atrophied
conscience but certainly no man
even a little higher up in the scale
of civilization could raise his right
hand as United States Senator and
swear with his tongue in his cheek
to uphold and defend the laws and
the Constitution of the United
States when he would not be there
at all If he had not fouted the

States. Perhaps it is better to raise

|sluicing of money in his behalf, par
ticularly by Samuel insult, the cor
|rupt and corrupting private utility
magnate. I remember that man
by the name of Newberry of Michi-
gan who spent more money than
was permissible under the law, was
persuaded to resign from the ex-
elusive club that now takes pride
in Messrs. Bilbo and O'Daniei and
McCarran and Tydings. William S.
Ware of Pennsylvania also found
the Senate door shut in his face
by a vote of So to % for corrupt
practices.
Now these four men were Republi-
cans who were sternly frowned upon
by a Republican Senate. I wonder
ii a Democratic Senate wants to
go down in history as having fewer
scruples and lower moral standards
than was the case with Republican
Senate? This is no time for the
Senate merely to yawn before turn
ing over on its other side and going
soundly to sleep again.
"InfiammatiOn of Mouth"
During Ms primary campaign,
Senator Bilbo, apparently beginning
already to show symptoms of that

which he later submitted to medi-
cal treatment. went up and down

the right to take the oath of Office.
The acceptance of money by
members of Congress for influence
brought to bear in obtaining con-
tracts does not seem to worry some
members of Congress even when
they are caught. To what extent
this immoral practice has been 60
ing on no one knows for sure. But
there has been enough nauseating
gas escaping to arouse suspicion in
the minds of many.
Charge Made Openly.
So far as "Chanticleer" Bilbo is
concerned. the charge has been
made that he accepted $4,000 for
obtaining a contract for constitu-
ent. This allegation was openly
made by Ross A. Collins, for many
years a respected and reputable
member of the House On the au-
thority of Mr.. Collins and the
Clarksdale Daily Press I have made
this accusation in my column. Ap-
parently Senator Bilbo regards the
charge as too trivial for his atten-
ton.
And yet I remember that William
Lorimer of Illinois, even after he
had taken his seat in the United
States Senate, was expelled when 1t
was proved that he had been elect
ed by corrupt means. I remember
that. subsequently, Frank L. Smith
of Illinois was not allowed to take

country. Don't tell me it's peaceful.
How can any country be said to be
peaceful when there is an acute
diaper shortage such as exists in the
United States today? A damp baby
is unpeaceful, and with damp, un-
peaceful baby in the house, the
mother can't be peaceful. With the
unpeaceful mother of damp, un-
peaceful baby in charge Of the
house, the father can't be peaceful.
Result: The family is unpeaceful.
AS families make up counties, and
counties make up States, and States
make up our country, our Nation
cannot truthfully be said to be at
peace when it has even so much as
one baby in need of a change that
he can't get.
Yearns for Bottle.
I talked to the young father Of a
young baby (seen any old babies
lately?) and he told me there have
been many times since the diaper
shortage when he wished he were
back in the thick of the fighting in
the Battle of the Bulge.
Tough as 1t was" he said. as he
attempted to hide the fact that the
tail of the shirt he was wearing
had been clipped off for diaper,
st finally got used to the cry of the
88s, the boom of the land mines,
and all that went with the Bulge
But, there is no getting used to the
accusing shrieks of a baby who
wants to know why in the devil you
aren't doing for him what he seems
to know has been the standard
treatment for babies for long
time"
Mr.. Byrnes, Mr.. Molotov, Mr.
Tsaldaris, and all the rest of them
can sign treaties until they get gose-
quill elbow without restoring peace
to the mind of a man who has to
pay $105 for a swig of orange juice
a cup of coffee and two slices OF
toast in a diner on train. The
same goes fora man who has to
fork over between 80 cents and
dollar for a pound of butter.
Smart as a Squirrel.
The East and the West can hold
hands on paper all they want to
and the historic pens which were
used to affix the signatures can &c
on display in museums all over the
world, but a man who hasn't ROOF
