 THAT'S JOE TALKING. Every night when he stops in for his coffee and sinkers he has plenty tell the boys about how the government should be Maybe he's right and maybe he isn't.
 The important thing is that he say what he thinks -ou loud. Right in front of Tom Burke, the cop. He couldn't do that in Russia in any of the nations that have been liberated" by the New Order
 But Joe is American.
 And because Joe is an American, he has more prvil- eges-and more opportunities be found any where else in the world.
 If he doesn't want to work for somebody else, he operate business of his own-anyWhere Joe is free agent His future is under his hat Like millions of other Americans on the way up, Joe cash in way of life that has brought America the highest standards of living in the world-by big margin.
 American boys fought for the inherited right of all of us wherever we live, whatever do to live lives the way we want to live them. And when those boys came home they wanted to find again, the basic rights and freedoms which this country built. We Americans-all the Joes, the Tom Burkes and everybody else-130 million of us-have more to fight for than any other people in the world Our stake in victory is our free way of life Let's guard it faithfully

Carelessness is the largest single of fire A community and its homes may be well-planned, but fires will occur if we smoke in bed or are generally careless with matches and smoking; if inflammable cleaning fluids used stored in the home; if papers, rags, magazines, old furniture and the like are accumulated in attics basements, and closets or if we misuse fail to repair defective electrical equipment.
 If all the homes in the United States, Canada and Alaska had efficient heating plants properly installed with fre-resstant materials; and if electrical wiring adequate and sound the residential fire loss would be cut approximately 50 per cent. Additional con- struction features to look for include frestops in walls; and use of non-combustbe interior finish terials

Private Flying

(NeW York TimeS)
 After burst of overoptimsm the personal aircraft industry dropped into good deal of tail spin En- couragement is to be found however, in studies of airport use which have been made public by the Air Transport Association. These show that for the first half of this year civilian private aircraft have overwhelming mapority both airline transports and military aircraft in airport utilization Itinerant and local flyers using such private craft accounted for more than "A percent of the landings and takeoffs in that period against about 16 percent for commer- cia carriers and percent for army and navy rpanes The figures, which are based summaries furnished from control towers of the Civil Aeronautics Admin stration show that there has been 61 percent gain in landings and take-offs whole in the United States and its possessions during the six months The growth of it's peacetime flying is clearly reflected by these statistics.

producing l5,OOO,OOO tons less coal per year than in 194l." This statement by MT. Churchill aptly describes the results of standardization. It is striking that whereas England used to ex- port large quantities of coal, she is now importing as much as 6OO,OO0 tons from the United States in the present quarter. This is the picture l8 months after naturalization of Br,ta'n'S coal industry was begun. Last summer in England I had a conference with MT. Michael Young, head of the research de- partment of the Labor Party. and their chief economist. Thirty or so years of age, tall and slender, MT. Young expressed great con fidenCe in England's program of naturalization of industry. He hoped the program would pro- ceed rapidly to include all in dustries, and he, was confident it would bring full employment, high productivity, and greater prosperity. MT. Young's hopes remain in the dream stage.
 What Results
 High British officials came to Washington last month. They wanted to discuss new terms on the American loan. A London report of their interview with secretary of the treasury John Snyder tells of MT. Snyder ask ing the British officials Why naturalization had not produced more coal and if it has hampered output" MT. Snyder was also firm in inquiring whether Bri- tain, under the scheme of nation alization, was ''still going to be a solvent concern"
 Failure Evident
 This showdown in the program doubtless came because those in- dustries already nationalized have shown no long-term improvement in productivity. In coal mining there was at first an upward surge of output. But soon the gain wore off, and turned into a dramatic loss. This experiment in gov- ernment of industry simply did not come through. Other in- dustries are learning in the same manner.
 The Labor government, which has urged more construction of houses, now finds it necessary to reduce its quota of new houses by 80,000. The use of petrol is to be cut down by one-third; for eign travel is to be reduced by one-half. An individual can now buy only 20 cents worth of beef a week. The fact that the food situation is extremely critical plus the failure of national;zed industries to get production led to the passing of Britain's Crisis Bill.
 Oietator Law
 This unprecedented law pro- vides powers over people, mon- ey, and property more sweeping than anything England has ex- perienced. The British press de- scribed the Bill as giving the gov government power to:

Fire Prevention Week

Since president Harding's administration Fire Pre- vention Week has always been celebrated in the Unit ed States and Canada during the week that includes October 9th the anniversary of the Chicago fire of 1871. This year. President Truman and the govern of the several states and territories have designated the week of October to 12 as Fire Prevention Week.
 In reality, every day should be Fire Prevention Week, just the spirit of Christmas should not be limited on the calendar to December 25th. Anything worthwhile to be truly effective is dependent tinua dayto-day application. This is especially true in fire control for by concerted daily thoughtfuness prevent 90 per cent of all fires just by observing few simple rules-mainly good housekeeping. Saw ing lives and property from fire is simple that.
 Yet it has been habit in our national week ob- servances to put our maximum fire control drive during Fire Prevention Week. The more success full and complete make the 1947 Fire Prevention Week Campaign, the longer its lessons will remain with throughout the year. Public education will prevent fires.

A.soeIoted Pres. Science Editor

NEW YORK, May ia A. .0o0-
word explanation Of meteorological
warfare, with all the basic facts. ex-
csptin3 only secret work Of World
War II, was released today with
Government permission.
Thir..y-three diseases are listed
as possible war weapons, some OF
chem In concentrations that could
ba used to attack a single military
objective or even enemy troops in
action.
Cities, war production areas and
islands might be neutralized Tor
military purposes for worthwhile
periods of time by some OF the tech
|niq,les in this prospectus OF future
wars.
But the study points. out il will
,e very difficult to achieve military
uses of these diseases. The air,
with planes scattering them, or con-
centratiag them in mists, smokes
AID dusts. Is considered the best
way. In nearly all cases. however,
mucn scientific work will have to
be done to find ways to do suffici-
emily massive seeding" OF diseases
to make bacterial war worth while.
DR.. Maurice Visscher, president OF
the American Association OF Scien-
|tific Workers, said in Chicago that
because of its geographical isola-
ton" this country would be at dis
advantage in bacterial warfare.
In case of an attack on the United
States by a European enemy, Dr..
Visscher said, the attacking enemy's
own people would be safe from the
bacteria used and retribution in kind
by this country would be difficult,
because "if we started retribution
against a European enemy, our use
of bacterial weapons would involve
neutral countries as well as the enc
my country itself"
DR.. Visscher, head of the physiol-
ogy department at the University
of Minnesota, called news confer
ence to discuss the report because
he wanted to emphasize that "bac-
terial warfare is one of the most i'm
portant hazards to humanity which
could result from misuse of science" "
