School Enrolment Jumps
In Bulgaria

Sofia. CALM = There are $4,000
more students and nearly 1000 more
schools in Bulgaria today than there
were 80 months ago when the pro-
nazi regime was overthrown. These
figures do not include schools for il
literates nor the many courses spon-
sored by unions and youth organiza-
tions. Most striking is the increase
in the number of university students
and teaching personnel. Where the
country previously had only one uni
versity, it now has three and the
number of those attending has, in
creased from $500 to $4,000. The
number of professors has risen from
SOP to nearly 1900.

While plans are not as yet
completed by the senators, it
is expected that they will be
held by the following senators !:
James E. Murray of Montana, Lam
ger of North Dakota, Glen Taylor of
Idaho and Pepper of Florida. Sen
ator Aiken of Vermont and others
may also be in the party.
The plans discussed by the direc-
tors of the Montana MVA Associa-
ton covered making arrangements for
the hearings, the statements to be
submitted to the senators, the subjects
to be discussed in the statements and
selection of qualified people to present
the statements. Further meetings to
complete definite arrangements for
the hearings in Montana will be called
as soon as more definite dates as to
when the senators will arrive in Mon
tana are available.
The raising of additional funds to
meet the expenses involved in max

Pea ASKS PUBLIC
OWNERSHIP OF
UTILITIES

Chicago - F - Calling for public
ownership of coal mines, railroads
and electric power, the Progressive
20 that monopoly's strangle-hold or
American industry is leading to lin
poverishment, fascism and war"
Pointing out that concentration OF
private power has reached I'M
precedented heights" peas national
directors, meeting here, advocated
that the three industries mentioned
be run by Independent government
corporations like the IVA which
would protect to the full the rights of
labor and consumers"
Outlining the reasons for it's pro-
posal, the Pea made the following OBJ
servations on each of the industries:
Coal: Private ownership has prov
ed wasteful and inefficient. 1t has fail
ed to provide a decent livelihood and
physical safety to the miners. 1t will
be totally incapable of planning and
carrying through the far-reaching re-
adjustments which the non-military
uot VI tltOlliC tlCi Sy Will oOOntl vi
later make unavoidable. Only pub
lie ownership can solve these prob
lens.
Railroads: Binder private owner
ship they have failed to modernize
their equipment and operations they
practice intolerable monopolistic dist
elimination against whole sections of
the country; they have allowed the
living standards of their employees to
fall seriously behind those of workers
in comparable occupations"
Power: Private ownership has prov
ed incapable of anticipating and meet
ing the power needs of the country;
it obstructs because it cannot foster
the planned development of water
power resources and does not reduce
the rates sufficiently; it will fight
tooth and nail against the rational use
of atomic energy which is universally
conceded to be too important to be en-
trusted to private hands"
First important National Group For
Public Ownership
The Pea, which helped sponsor
Henry Wallaces recent speaking tour,
is the first important national political
group to put forward a demand for |
public ownership. The Independent |
voters group, which has raised con-
sistent demand for return to the pol |
icies OF Fanklin ID. Roosevelt, has |
been considered likely nucleus for
a potential third party movement.

ReaderS or the Seattle 0alIy press
can only scratch their heads. True to
the practice of the Seattle dailies, the
facts have been kept from the readers
while the fury has been dished out
in double portions.
The information the people have
not been given boils down to this:
Former Premier Ferenc Macy,
who was in Switzerland, was sum-
moned home to answer to the charge
that he was involved in plot to
hinder the country's program of
democratic economic construction.
Hungary had just completed some
sweeping land reforms. On the agen-
da was a series of bank reforms. He
refused to return home and was ousted
as premier. The coalition which he
headed, made up of the Stockholders,
Communist, National, Peasant and So
cialist parties, replaced him. A mem
Der of the Stockholders party, which
polled 81 per cent of the vote in the
last election, was named to replace
him. This, said President Truman,
is an outrage"

that the Hungarian government is
guilty of another outrage Cor may
| be it's one and the same). 1t seems
that it has been vainly trying to buy
out the American-owned oil company
which has been exploiting that coun-
try's resources. Yep, the name of the
outfit is Standard Oil. Perhaps you
have heard of it?
In the Hungarian situation, we see
a continuation of policies that must
disturb democratic-minded Americans
Every effort of the hard-pressed Euro
pean peoples to improve their condi-
ton, to end exploitation, to punish
their traitors, and to get a measure of
democracy economic and politicaD
is branded by the Truman administra-
ton as Soviet expansion.
Truman Doctrine Bears Fruitl.
The Truman Doctrine is indeed
flourishing 1t flowered in Spain this
week when Madame Peron, wife of the
Argentina dictator upon whom our
state department has bestowed the
kiss of friendship (plus loans, plus
munitions, etc. was welcomed in
Spain by Bloody Franco.
The murderer of the Spanish people
decorated Madame Peron with the
Cross of the Order Of Isabella the
Catholic. In turn, Madame Peron
gave the fascist salute and lauded the
true distributive democracy" of Spain
and Argentina, and hit the "blase de-
ceptive democracy" of countries
which she did not name.
Our list of friends grows. 1t in
cIudes every fascist, every dictator,
every miItarist and every expIoiter
of the people in any country.

On July 2, by call of Governor
Ford of Montana, an emergency
meeting of Missouri basin governors
will convene in Omaha. Purpose
of the meeting is to press for i'm
mediate adoption of the Pick-Sloan
plan for irrigation, navigation, and
flood control. Urgency of the meet
ing. is in response to cries for help
now coming from the lower Mis-
souri, valley states where June floods
have caused great devastation.
The need for help to these flooded
regions is admittedly serious and
urgent. Difficulty lies in the fact
that the so-called Pick-SIoan plan
will not solve the problem for three
reasons. .

Honored Weaver

Few artists have been honored
during their lifetime as was Nor
ways celebrated weaver, Frida
Hansen (1853-1927. After her tap
estries had won awards at nine
international expositions and be-
come museum pieces, the Nor
wegian government, fearing all
her work might be purchased
abroad, passed a law forbidding
export of any more.

field Of electric lighting and power
distribution.
From 1868, when he received
his first patent for an electrical
ly energized voting machine, un-
til his death 63 years later, Edi-
son created 1897 patentable in
ventions - by far the greatest
number Of patents ever issued
to any one Individual by the
United States Patent Office.
The wide range Of his accom-
plishments is almost un-
believable.
The carbon transmitter that made
Alexander Graham Bells telephone
a commercial success was an Edi-
son invention, and for many years
the names of both Bell and Edison
appeared on telephone instruments.
This same transmitter later was
adapted to radio and served as the
first broadcasting microphone.
Perfects TeIegraphy.
Edison patented a system Of teleg-
raphy through space six years be-
fore Guglielmo Marconi made the
instrument that earned him the title
Of "Father of Wireless Teleg-
raphy."
Edison invented, built and oper-
ated the first electric railroad in
America. Some Of his patents
caused revolutionary changes in the
cement industry, and as early as
1908 he was building cement houses
with prefabricated molds.
He invented an electric automo-
bile, helicopter, a method Of max
ing plate glass. He patented a
method of preserving fresh fruits
and vegetables in glass containers;
he devised a machine, called the
micro-tasimeter, for measuring
minute heat fractions, and another,
the horoscope, for registering the
presence of odors, however slight.
Indefatigable Worker.
Before introduction of the type
writer, Edison invented an electric
pen which cut stencils Of handwrit-
ing so that one letter could be re-
produced in illimitable quantities.
Its modern counterpart is tho
mimeograph machine.
These and scores of other Gre
atoms, some Of great i'm
portance and some, like his talk
ing doll, hardly more than nov
elites, came out Of Edison's
mind.
He rued the fact that the day con-
tanned only "a hours, because 1t did
not give him enough time to do
everything he wanted to do. His IA
vorite motto - and one which he
displayed prominently on the walls
of his laboratory and offices-was a
quotation which said: "There is no
expedient to which a man will not
resort to avoid the serious labor Of
thinking"
Although Edison lived to be "a, he
continued to put in long hours Of
study and work right up until few
weeks before his death. When
friends chided him about not re-
firing to a life Of ease, his reply
was that "There'I be plenty of time
to think about retiring when I
reach 100."
Tom Edison has Preached 100"
and he has RETIRED" but his MEM
DRY lives on in thousand creations
that have benefited mankind.

l5th.l8th Century Sundials
We're Elaborate Devices

The most elaborate sundials
ever made were the portable,
watch-sized instruments designed
in Europe between the 18th and
18th centuries, says Golfers.
Besides compass, some con-
tanned as many as Is devices,
among them being, for example,
dials for determining the noctur-
nal hour by either the moon or
certain stars, an adjustment for
changes in latitude, a diagram
showing planetary positions and a
continuance for ascertaining the
time when the sun and moon
would rise and set.

BAKERSFIELD, CALF. - Hyp-
notism, long considered a good stage
trick but also utilized In medicine
and In curing mental Ills during re-
cent years, found a new use in den
ustry here.
When Mrs. Violet Nicola went to
q medical-dental clinic to have two
teeth extracted, It was discovered
that she was allergic to all types Of
anesthetics. The dentist called two
doctors and a psycho-therapist into

consultation. The consulting psyche
therapist started talking to the pa
tent and within a few seconds she
was In a hypnotic trance.
Thirty minutes later Mrs. Nicola
was brought out Of the trance,
minus her two teeth but completely
unaware that they were gone. Al
though the doctors and two other
witnesses told her the operation was
over, Mrs. Nicola was not convinced
until she looked in q mirror.

train Of thought that led him first
to the invention Of a stock ticker
and an automatic telegraph, thence
to the monograph and later to the
motion picture camera.
Earns First Money.
With the idea planted in his mind
Of constructing telegraph apparatus
that would automatically send and
record messages, Edison invented
and patented an improved stock
ticker. It was so much better than
the crude tickers which antedated
his that telegraph company paid
him $4,000 for 1.-THE first money
Edison ever received for an inven-
ton.
With the $4,000 Edison estab-
ished a shop in Newark, N. j., in
1870, and began the manufacture Of
stock tickers. He was %, and for
the first time in his life he had
enough money to experiment with
the hundred and one ideas that
coursed through his agile mind.
One of score of Geographic pat
ents he took out as a result Of his
experiments in Newark was on an
automatic telegraph, which could
send and record messages on a
strip Of paper tape at rate far
beyond the speed possible in send
ing and receiving by hand. In seek
ing to improve his first automatic
telegraph, Edison experimental
with a machine employing a turn
table covered with a paper disc.
Perforations in the paper disc sent
out dots and dashes when the turn
table was rotated. One day, how
ever, the turntable was operated
at an excessive speed and, instead
of dots and dashes, the result was
a musical hum. Edison was quick
to sense the possibilities Of his dis
covery, and on July 10, 1877, he
made the following entry in one Of
the $500 notebooks he filed with
scientific data and reports before
his death at "a on October 10, 1881:
"Just tried experiment with
diaphragm having an embossed
point and held against paraffin
paper moving rapidly. The
speaking vibrations are indent-
ed nicely and there is no doubt
that I shall be able to store up
and reproduce automatically at
any future time the human
voice perfectly"
Less than a month later he did
just that.
First Movie Was 'Talkie.'
Ten years later, in 1887, Edison
set out, as he later commented, ITO
do for the eye what the photograph
did for the ear" The result was
the birth Of what today is probably
the most glamorous industry in the
world-the motion picture industry.
Thus 1t was that the germ Of an
idea which took root In Edison's
mind when he was fired as tele-
graph operator ultimately led to in
vention Of the stock ticker, the au-
tomato telegraph, the monograph
and the motion picture camera.
Edison probably Is best remem-
bered as the inventor Of the first
practical incandescent lamp. The
lamp was handy symbol Of
achievement seized upon by the pub
lie, but actually 1t constituted only
a small portion Of his work In the

Dedication Arrangements
The arrangements for the dedi-
cation are under the direction of
committee with 81 members.
Seven of these were added Monday.
They are: DR.. Joseph Campbell,
manager of the VA hospital at the
airport; Mrs. Richard C. DUPONT,
widow of the founder of all Amer
ican Aviation; Mrs. Henry B. Eat
on, widow of the engineer who Sas
active in having the airport estab-
lished; Mr.. Heath, city sales man.
ager for TWA; Mrs. Nancy Love,
who was in charge of the WASPs
at the airport during the war; Mr..
Miller; and Mr.. Thornton, Ameri-
can Airlines sales-manager. An
nouncement of the change of con-
troll at the airport was made by
Don w. Martin, manager. The New
Castle County Airport has the first
federally-controlled airport tower
in Delaware; it is the twenty-fifth
tower to be activated under the
jurisdiction of the CAA's first reg
ion, which embraces the New Eng
land states, New York, Pennsyl-
vania, Maryland, New Jersey, Vir-
ginia and Delaware. The tower will
be operated "a hours daily seven
days week on currently assigned
ario frequencies. Mr.. Martin said
that personnel will comprise one
chief, five controllers and two as
sistant controllers, whose aggre-
gate salaries will total over $4,000
annually. c. R. Stark, former chief
at the National Airport, Washing
ton, D. c., will be chief cnotroller
at the county airport tower.

permanently beginning next Mon
day. His offices in the Hotel Du-
Pont will be opened next week.
TWA Flights
TWA will also have four fights
daily out of the airport. This was
announced by Perry Heath, city
sales manager, who said that de-
tails of the routes and flight sched-
ules would be announced next
week. The date for the dedication
exercises was set at a meeting of
the committee in charge of the
dedication program. The ceremon-
les are scheduled to start at 2 pm.
after an hour-long series of DEM
onstrations by the National Guard
air arm and private fiiers.
CAA Takes Over
AS these things were being de-
cided the Civil Aeronautics Admin
istration took over from the coun-
ty control of the airport control
tower, thus making Wilmington
link in the main system of air traf-
fic control on the eastern seaboard
Highlights of the dedication activ-
tiles will include the christening OF
a passenger plane to be named
Delaware, a demonstration of all
mail pickup by All American Av-
iation, Inc, and the display of air
line equipment by Trans-World
Airline and American Airlines. The
newly converted terminal building
and the entire airport will be open
for the public to see. These details
