CoCA-COLA vs. PEPsI-COLA

m be glad to, for the gentle man is very much mistaken shot back Mccarthy T suggest that he read page l92 of the hearings where I brought out that the Pepsi Cola Company and the Coca-Cola Company both had selfish interests in this sugar controversy Coca Cola naturally wants controls con- tinued because it doesn't want to see its chief competition get all that sugar from it's Cuban plantations
 T might add that it was under my cross examination of MT Mack that these sugar holdings of Pepsi Cola were unearthed."
 Well, I'm willing to go by the statistics of the Department of Ag- riculture," countered Tobey in the secret caucus. These show it is absolutely necessary to protect the American housewife against com mercial users. The Department also informs me that 95 percent of the commercial users do not object to continued rationing, and that, in fact, the only big commercial user demanding decontrol is our old friend, and the Senator's friend, Pepsi-Cola.'
 Mccarthy retorted hotly that To- bey was being unfair" Colleagues intervened and the two gladiators finally cooled off.

TRUMAN GOES REPUBLICAN

The man who really brought the House down was the closing speak CT, majority leader Charlie Halleck of Indiana. He spoke first in sup DOT of the tax till as boon to the lowly wage earner then warned that the Democrats planned to block the bill so that the Presi- dent could push similar legisla- ton next year and claim credit for it in the l948 campaign.
 That's in keeping with Admin istration tactics there days" pro- claimed Halleck Ever since the election, the President has been following the lead of the Republi- cans. Over the weekend he finally moved to clean the Communists and other subversive elements out of Government The Republicans have been after that for years. Tru- mans popularity is rising because he's a smart Pendergast boy who knows enough about politics to know which way the wind is blow ing.
 Why" concluded Halleck, hes read the signs of the times so well he's done everything except register Republican,

Joseph R. Mccarthy of Wisconsin. who wants to abolish controls, did some toe -to-toe verbal slugging.
 Except for acid language and baleful glares, however, no bones were broken.
 Tohey bluntly accused Mccarthy of being the Senate spokesman for Walter Mack boss of the Pepsi Cola Company, who wants to end sugar controls. The New Hamp- shire Senator brought out that the chief reason for Mack's position is that Pepsi-Cola has extensive sug- ar plantations in Cuba and could use for itself all the sugar produc- cd on these plantations, if ration ing were abolished
 Tt is an interesting coincidence, declared Tobey, fixing Mccarthy with whitening eye, "a very inter- esting coincidence that the lan- guage of the Senator's bill Ca de- control measure Mccarthy has in troduced) is strikingly similar to the ext MT. Mack's testimony belore the Banking and Currency Committee.
 Maybe the Senator can explain that" added Tobey who also brought out that the Wisconsin Senator had circulated a letter among his colleagues supporting the Pepsi Cola position, without actu- ally naming the company.

Congress and Labor
(New York TimsS)

The protest of William Green, President Of th2 American Federation of Labor that enactment of labor legislation along the lines being discussed in Senate and House committees would create tre- mendous industrial confusion will strike most persons as unreastc The fact of the matter is that whether these committees succeed in evolving perfect formula or not. what they seeking is the elimination or industrial confusion" through the elimination Of industry labor warfare, which the past year re- suited unprecedented hardship suffering and loss to the American people-includng American labor
 So far as can be discerned moreover, the approach of these committees to the solution of this problem gives every evidence of being earnest painstakng and constructive It was probably inevitable that their efforts should be labeled "anti-labor by some; but

Making a final plea for continued sugar rationing, Tobey told the closed door COP caucus
 The American housewife got 50 pounds of sugar per year for every member of her family before the war, and the bill I have written to continue rationing, and which hope Congress will approve, is aimed to bring the housewife as close to the pre-war level as pos Sible'
 Under his bill, Tobey explained, home consumers would get a 35- pound average in the next 12 months and any increases in pro- duction would go to housewives, instead of soft-drink manufacturers, until the 50-pound pre-war average : is reached.

Darwin Lad
browns In
Swimming Hole

Wallace Boggs, Is, son of Mrs.
Wade Mullins by a former mar
riage, of Darwin, met death at
ter making a headlong dive into
a deep hole of water near the
home of Johnnie Hibbitts in
Cranes Nest River Sunday.
The body sank to the bottom
and was in the water for two
hours before being brought out
by searchers.
The boy, along with others,
was swimming in the river. He
dived off a diving board, strik-
ing the water with considerable
force and it is the opinion of
those who examined him that he
struck the water with such force
that he was injured internally.
Funeral and burial were on
Bold Camp Tuesday. Elders w.
L. Phipps, Grover Crabtree and
others conducted services.
The boy was born near Pound
and had lived around Darwin
for a number of years.

SUGAR RATIONING ENDS;
BUY ALL YOU CAN FIND

Clinton P. Anderson, secre-
tary of agriculture, formally
abolished sugar rationing, so
far as household, restaurant
and hospital use is concerned,
at midnight Wednesday.
Housewives can, for the first
time in "a long while, go to the
grocery stores and buy all the
sugar they need.
This action was taken becaues
vast supplies Of sugar are COM
ing from the sugar producing
countries and it is deemed un-
necessary to ration it longer,
except as to manufacturing
concerns.

Ezra got a busted nose and

Neither one got the best of the
