tween the ages of II and is years.
While original plans included

competed in the race here or not,
is invited to join the party tonight
and bring two boy friends with
him. However, he must identify
himself at the door where his
name vii be checked against 1916

by picture which requires 80 mi
nutes to run, a brief resume Of
rule changes for 1947 will be given
and the boys informed of the
latest Derby news direct from Ma
tionai headquarters in Detroit.
The official 1947 Soap Box Der
by film, which was shown to the
pupils of Lake Forest school last
Tuesday morning in honor of
Tommy Williamson, 1916 Whining
ton champion, is a 16mm sound
color film and is the best eve
produced in the nine years that
the Derby has been run.
The picture not only contains a
genuine boy theme. but is coupled
with plenty of thrills and sports
manship and even shows Tommy
Williamson in action at the dinner
table.
1t is a bang-up picture and was
received with enthusiasm by the
Lake Forest faculty and pupils.
Derby headquarters here has
received word to the effect that
there is now available, a 64-page
book entitled "How to Build a
Soap Box Derby Racer" written
by those Soap Box Derby con-
struction experts, Ray Schieb, Ed.
Stalsmith and Jim Schlemmer.
This book, which is highly illus
trated so /ung boys can fully I'M
derstand every detail on how to
build a safer and well-balanced
car, retails for $1.o0 and any boy

neid mines were still idle sooay -
some closed by the government and
some idle because the miners
wouldn't work. The Coal Mines
administration said more miners
went back to work today, but gave
no national totals. Yesterday it
reported soft coal production at
1000, 900 tons, copored with a
al of 2,400, 600.
But the judges action was one
more legal jolt for Lewis in the
same small panelled courtroom
where Goldsborough put a $40, 900
fine on him personally last Dec. 4
in addition to the larger fine on the
union.
Another blow at Lewis was aim
ed today by Secretary of the In
terror J. A. Krug, testifying be-
fore a Senate committee which is
studying the Centralia disaster
that killed Ill men on March Is.
Krug, whom Lewis had accused
as the 'arch-crlminol' of the ex-
plosion, said the unions record
on safety in the coal mines is one
of almost unbroken neglect"
Blames Union
He said the union has failed to
take advantage of a clause in it's
contract with the government,
giving the men at each mine the
power to shut down operations
when a mine is too dangerous to
work in.
In court, assistant attorney gem
1eral John F. Sonnet said the same
thing.
In effect, he blamed the union
for the present widespread coal
shutdowns. And in return, the union
lawyers blamed the government,
pointing out that Krug on April 3
ordered the closing of 518 mines
for safety reasons.

that on one occasion Mrs. Hundley
threatened to kill her husband.
Under questioning by Doran,
Lovette said that Mrs. Hundley
told him that there was a baby at
a local hospital and that she was
going to see the baby.
Then, Lovette said, she told him
that if the baby favored Hundley
she was going to kill him. Lovette
explained that he did not know
whether or not Mrs. Hundley was
referring to her husband or to the
baby.
Doran then asked Lovette il ne
had een Mrs. Hundley eat any
of the pie on the day of the deaths.
Lovette replied that he had not.
Mrs. Hundley, who was then call
ed to the stand, repeated her state.
ment that she did not know where
the substance she thought wal
sugar came from. She denied hav-
ing ever told officers that she hac
received it from her grandson's
| wife.
Mrs. Hundley said that it was
her opinion that the three people
did not die from the effects Of
poison.
When pressed by Doran, she
said that as far as she was con-
cerned Upchurch died from pains
in his stomach and near his heart.
Mrs. Blizzard from heart trouble
and Mrs. Myrtle Paige from fright.
Hundley was the next witness to
appear. Doran asked whether OF
not there had been any trouble
between he and Mrs. Hundley. The
reply was that nothing unusual had
ever taken place and denied that
his wife had ever threatened him.
Solicitor Clifton Moore appeared
at the inquest and assisted Doran
in the questioning.

 '"The Soviet government cannot agree with the charges contained in the note against the provisional Polish government of national unity of violating the pledges laid on it by the decisions of the Yalta and Berlin Potsdam) conferences, providing for the holding of free and unfettered elections in Poland nthe basis of a universal cleo toral law with secret ballot, where by all democratic, anti-Nazi part ies will have the right to partici- pate and put forward candidates. ]"

Marshall To Take Over State Secy. Job This Week
WASHINGTON, PD-Gen. Geo.

WASHINGTON, CP)-Gen. Geo. C. Marshall becomes Secretary of State this week with assurances from Senator Vandenberg of Re publican support on major diplo- matic issues expected to arise dur. ing the months ahead.
 Final plans for Marshall to take the oath as successor to James F. Byrnes are yet to be announced, but officials said privately that the ceremony probably will be held at the White House the latter part of the week.
 Marshall, resting after 13 months Of arduous diplomatic work in China, remained in Homo lulu over last weekend.
 Meanwhile, the pattern of his future tasks and something of the extent of the Republican support he can expect in striving for their accomplishment were made clear in speeches by Byrnes and Van denberg, the chairman of the Sen, ate foreign relations committee.
 Vandenberg, addressing the: Cleveland Council spoke out for: 1. Congressional appropriations to carry on an American relief program in war wrecked countries.
 2. Rehabilitation loans for coun- tries which need them.
 3. Continuance of tariff-reduc- ing reciprocal trade agreements in some form.
 Beyond these points, all of which seem likely to arouse some controversy in Congress, the Mich. igan Senator also urged a policy shift in China, saying the United States now should support the CO., alitiOn of Non-Communist parties backing China'S new constitution.
 This evidently would mean abandoning the policy which Mar shall followed during his stay in China-a policy of equality ha- tween the Communists and the Nationalist Kuomintang which to date has run the government. Moreover, in an apparent break with prevailing State Department. policy, Vandenberg also demanded that the long delayed Pan-Ameri- can conference on hemispheric de- fense be held at Rio de Janeiro in the immediate future.
