RECORDING

record a whole hours worth of
radio programs, including COM
mercials, if you car to hear them
too.
While wire recording is not new
one of the first experiments was
made in 1896 by a Danish scient-
ist-they are still scarce enough
to be unique to most persons.
Easy To Operate
The Sears recorder. the work
ings of which were explained yes
terday before a numbr of Port
City residents at the Cape Fear
club, can be operated by anyone
after a few trials.
In charge of the show were r.
Stewart, manager of the local
Sears, Roebuck store and Fred
Farrar, manager of the radio d.
vision Of the local store. Under
their management three of the re-
corders on display were made to
record voices, record records,
pick up radio broadcast and re-
cord same.
At first the machine looks a bit
complicated to operate. There are
he usual radio knobs and then
another with six positions which
records from the microphone, rec
ords and radio, and then plays
the records, wire and radio.
The wire, only .004 OF an inch
in diameter, is wound from a
spool to another larger spool be-
meath the turntable of the record
player. The wire, in passing from
one spool to another, is magnetic
ed and sound impulses played on
it from either the microphone,
records OF the radio.
The wire is then rewound to the
smaller spool at a high rate OF
speed and when started over, the
voice of a person in the room, a
record of a radio broadcast comes
out.
The wire can be used 10000
times before the impulses are
used out. If the wire breaks a
SQUARE knot is tied in it and there
is no noticeable noise from the
broken spot.
The wire also reduces 30 per
cent of the surface noise of any
record, the demonstrators said
yesterday.
When the owner is tired Of hear
ing what's on his wire he can
erase it by Tipping a few switches
and winding it through the ma
chine again.
It looks like it won't be long
until the old excuse about listen
ing to the presidents speech kept
YOU from attending the club meet
ing will be outdated.

non" of successful dealing with
Russia is to remain cool and col
lected and to put forward demands
on Russian policy in such a way
as to leave the way open for com
pliance which will not be too de-
detrimental to Soviet prestige.
Stern Policies
5 Create in the world the i'm
preston that the United States is
a country which knows what it
wants, which is coping successful
ly with the problems Of its internal
life and with the responsibilities
Of a world power, and which has
a spiritual vitality capable Of hold
ing its own among the major
theological currents of the time.
" In these circumstances" the
article says, 1T is clear that the
main element Of any U. S. policy
toward the Soviet Union must be
that of a long-term. patient but
firm and vigilant containment OF
Russian expansive tendencies. 1t
is important to note, however, that
such a policy has nothing to do
with outward histrionics: with
threats or clustering or superfluous
gestures of outward 'toughness' -.
Facts speak louder than words
to the ears of the Kremlin: and
words carry the greatest weight
when they have a ring Of rejecting
or being backed up by, facts OF
interchangeable validity"

Asserting that in the foreseeable

for U. S. Policy:

rolled up in the House, specula-
ton flared to a feverish pitch on
the big question:
Can such a two-thirds vote be
obtained in the Senate to over
throw another Presidential objec-
ton?
No one yet has named two
thirds Of the senators who Will
vote to override a veto. The Pres
fdent's first veto was sustained in
the House when the vote to over
ride, 1853 to 1877, was two votes
short of the needec two-thirds.
In today's roll call on passage,
233 Republicans were joined by 69
Democrats in support Of the bill.
Opposing were 109 Democrats and
two Republicans-Iiul1 OF Wlscon-
sin and H. Carl Andersen of Min
nesota-and the American Labor
party member, Rep. Marcantonio
of New York.
House action, with the Republi-
cans in complete control, followed
defeat 261 to ISL of an attempt by
administration supporting Demo-
Gratis to substitute a bill that
would reduce taxes $3.50, 600, 900
a wear and remove 1000, 600 low
income persons from the TAX rolls
completely.
Sponsors said they oppose any
tax reduction now, but offered
their bill as "a sairer and more
equitable" approach, if tax cut
ting is inevitable. They argued Tor
reduction of the debt instead OF
tax cutting now.
Their defeated substitute bill
would have provided:
I. An increase to 5000 in the
personal exemptions for irdlvldu-
ais in computing taxes.
2. A reduction of three per cent
age points acros the board Tor
all surtax bracket rates.
Rep. Forand ORD, in ofer-
ing the substitute said it gave
greater relief to small income
persons, and declared: IF you
want to be fair, you will go along
with my proposal. If you don't,
you will be forgetting the little
fellow and giving the big fellow
another handout."
Mr.. Truman, in his veto mes
sage, said first emphasis should
be put on payment Of the debt,
that the tax cut would aggravate
inflationary tendencies, and that
the bill gave too much relief to
persons with large incomes and
loo little to persons with small in
comes.

would fall short OF meeting the
estimated requirements.
The report gave no reason for
failure Of farmers to plant the
recommended acreage, out Off
Gals said shortages of fertilizer
and farm workers were factors.
This years crop will be supple
mented by a carryover Of about
5000, 900 bales from previous
crops. This carryover is the
smallest since 1929 and is go per-
cent smaller than last years car
ryover.
A crop Of the size indicated, tc-
gether with the carryover, would
give a total supply of about 49,
1876, 900 bales. This would be the
smallest since 1923, when it was
IL, 1888, 900. The largest annual sup
ply on record was "a, 612, 009 bales
in 1888. 1t rejected surplus pro-
duction of the 30's.
L requirements turn out as es-
timated, the carryover a year
from now would be reduced to a
dangerously low level OF about L.
135, 900 bales.
Higher Requirements
Cotton needs for the coming
marketing eason we're put at
about 8,755, 900 bales for domestic
use and 3,605, 900 for export when
the planting goal was set last win
ter. Since then there have been
indications that domestic require
ments may run higher.
By comparison, domestic use
this season will be slightly more
than 10, 900, 900 bales and exports
about $500, 900.
The report said this years crop
got off to a relatively slow start
in a large portion of the state
due to cool weather. AS a result,
the crop was SAID to be some
what later than usual in many
areas, particularly III Central and
Eastern states.

mines producing Is percent of the
country's coal and employing
some 100, 900 miners stood idle.
Higher Prices
Coal prices will snoot up. Sena-
tor Taft {R-O) forecast a rise of
70 cents a ton, but some opera
tors said the Jump would exceed
81. Taft guessed steel would rise
$1.10 a ton and steel products pro-
portionately.
The contract was negotiated by
Lewis with Northern operators
and mine-owning steel interests.
The latter groups, in a joint state
ment, said the cost will be "sub-
stantially less'' than if a strike
had halted production.
The contract provides: a "A IL
cent basic hourly wage boost; a
work day shortened from nine
hours to eight, bringing the daily
wage to $13.05 instead OF the $11.85
paid for the longer day; and
a 100 percent Increase in the levy
on operators to support UMW's
welfare fund-10 cents a ton in
stead of 3.
But Washington marveled most
at the manner in which the con-
tract nose-thumbed the brand new
Taft-Hartley act, which was writ
ten with John l.. Lewis uppermost
in mind.
Leaves Door Open
The contract says the miners
shall work during such time'' as
they are liable and Wiling" Work
stoppages in violation of contract
are outlawed and made punish
able by suit under the Taft-Hart-
ley law. But under the liable and
willing" language, the miners ap-
parently could quit w o u t
breaking the contract.
The contract repeats all no
strike clauses in existing local
contracts, as well as all wage de-
auctions and other penalties for
wildcat strikes.
1t specifies machinery within
the industry for the settlement of
all disputes, stoppages (and)
suspensions Of work" and any
claims arising out of them, and
says such machinery shall be
used Exclusively"
Thus both parties are pledged
not to go to the National Labor
Relations board, which has power
to delay certain strikes and lock-
outs by Injunction. BY the same
token, the union apparently can
not be penalized by NLRB for an
unfair labor practice" because
1t will not be hailed before NLRB.
Taft Optimistic
However, Senator Taft, CO.
author Of the new law, was not
disappointed. He said that agree
ment by employers and unions to
settle disputes among themselves
is "exactly what the law was aim
ed at"
Some legislators questioned le-
gality Of the contract, but one
prominent Republican, who asked
anonymity, observed: Eve can't
help it if they want to agree to a
contract that bypasses the law.
All we can do is pass the law"
Presumably, however, the ma
tional emergency provisions Of
the Taft-Hartley act, which pro-
vide an 80-day injunction and
fact : finding procedure to halt a
shutdown, would apply Il a coal
