A good way to detect dry rot in
wood is to insert a pocket knife
into the board. If it penetrates
very easily it is almost certainty
the wood is infected.
When cutting flowers, slant the
stems. This gives your posies
longer life.
In order to keep a flushing tank
in good condition it should be
cleaned out and every last scale on
the inside surfaces scraped off at
least once every year. An over
flow pipe in the lavatory always
should have a rapid fall.
Furniture that is bought unfin-
ished should first be wiped with a
cloth dampened with water. This
raises the grain, which should be
sanded before stain is applied.

FREE ENTERPRISE NETS
BILLION DOLLAR BUSINESS
THE VALUE of Ford Motor com.
pany is listed as one billion dollars.
That is billion dollars of our ma.
tional wealth that did not exist less
than half century ago. That value
is represented by land, buildings,
machines, materials and other
things needed in operation Of large
plants. Aside from the land that
value, that addition to our national
wealth, was created by the genius,
the initiative, the resourcefulness Of
one man.
That one man created more than
tangible wealth on which a dollar
value can be placed. He created
many thousands of jobs, providing
for the support of many thousands
of American families. He made
possible the support of schools,
churches, stores, professions. He
helped materially in support of our
railroad systems, and in construc-
ton and utilization of our hard
roads. Then Henry Ford died, and
he has left to the American people,
as their legacy, all those things he
created, the plants, the jobs. He
had added a billion dollars of value
to our national wealth, and he took
no part of it away with him. The
plants, the organization, the jobs
belong to America. For their con-
tinued operation he named a trus-
tee.
During his lifetime he had pro-
vided automobiles at a price at
which millions of American families
could afford to buy and operate
them. Such ownership meant for
those millions of families increased
pleasure and convenience. Those
cars had added to their standard Of
living. During his lifetime he had
voluntarily raised the standard OF
compensation for workers. He
passed on to workers and the public
those benefits resulting from his
chronological abilities. It meant
higher wages for workers, and a
lower price for the cars produced
for the people of the nation and the
world.
1t was genius and initiative,
plus opportunity and encourage
ment, that made the Ford mir
acle possible. The genius and
initiative was possessed by
Ford. The opportunity and en-
couragement were provided by
our American system of free,
competitive enterprise. In
no other nation on earth could
Henry Ford have accomplished
what he did in this country. No
other of the present day nations
would have provided the needed
essentials of opportunity and
encouragement.
We cannot all have the genius
and initiative. Most of us are lack
ing in those essentials. We all have
opportunity and encouragement for
development of such abilities as we
may possess. Ford was one of many
who, under our economic system,
have aided in making America
great; who have raised our stand
ard of living, and provided us with
luxuries the people of no other ma
ton know. The wealth they accumu-
late through production they leave
as a legacy to the people of the
nation.
1t is not necessary to demonstrate
that free enterprise will work. 1t
has worked, and is working. It will
continue to do in the future what it
has done in the past.
LABOR BOSSES REPuDIATED
Browning chief. [volume] (Browning, Mont.) 1941-1953, 1947-05-30
LABOR BOSSES REPUDIATED

UNION LABOR'S BOSSES put up
a hard fight to prevent a revamping
of the nations labor laws in any
way that would curb their activities.
In that fight of words they ex-
pressed only generalities. They
limited at dire disaster should their
practices be checked and intimated
retaliation at the polls against any
who voted for such changes. They
did not attempt to explain why, in
Gallup poll Of last January, &c
per cent of all people contacted
voted for the open shop, ID per cent
for the so-called union shop, and
only 8 per cent favored the closed
shop. Nor did they attempt to ex-
plain the vote of union workers only
in which al per cent favored the
open shop, SO per cent the union
shop, and only 10 per cent wanted
closed shop. In connection with
their threat of retaliation at the
polls they did not quote the figures
from the last election, in which OF
those members of the previous con-
gress seeking reelection and openly
opposed by labor leaders, 40 were
elected and only three on labor's
black list were defeated. The Amer
lean people, including members OF
labor unions, definitely have repudi-
ated many labor union leaders, but
not labor unions or collective bar
gaining.
There was time, not farther
back than the generation Of the
father Of Henry Wallace, when
the making Of such statements
as those uttered by the former
vice-president and secretary Of
commerce for the edification Of
European audiences would have
meant for the orator political
death and social ostracism in
this country.
All Of US are, directly or indi-
rectly, part of and interested in
American business.

Atom Scientist "Thankful" U. s. Controls Bomb
(By Gene Lindberg)

DENVER, - Lets be glad We have got the atomic bomb" Dr. J. Robert Oppenheimer, the man who contributed more to it's develop ment than any other single indi- vidual, said in Denver recently.
 Don't misunderstood me-" Dr. Oppenheimer said. "I don't mean we should be glad to have a wea- pon we can use to threaten other nations. That's not the American way of doing things.
 "We are devoutly thankful that the means of creating such wea- pon fell to us. And now, let's be glad that the development of atomic energy and all that 1t means for the future welfare of the world is in our hands, pro- gressing along American lines, guided by the philosophy of our way of life"
 There's struggle going on in the world" Dr. Oppenheimer said, between the way of life represent ed by Russia, and our own Ameri- can way. Atomic energy gives us a powerful advantage, but it also puts us on the spot. We've got to be good, scientifically, economic ally, politically, industrially. The whole world is watching us. We've go to prove our way is better. We cant do that by talking. We have to produce the facts and deliver the goods. We must show the way to peace in a world where war has taken on dimensions too terrible for human tolerance."o

Senate Split On Budget Slash
(By Francis M. LeMay)

WASHINGTON, (Pl-The stand by a majority of Republican Sen ators against a $6,OO0, 100000 bud get slash stirred sharp debate in both Senate and House today with Rep. Owen R.-IllD shouting that the Senators acted "cowardly."
 The COP. split apparently made it foregone conclusion that the Senate would favor a $4,500,- 000,000 cut, proposed by Senator Millikin R.-Colo) as a substitute for the $6,OOO,O 100000 recommend ed by the joint Senate-House bud get committee.
 Most Democratic Senators were backing Millikin's figure.
 The chief argument of those op- posing the bigger figure is that 1t would require too heavy cuts in military spending.
 The budget committees recom- mendationS were up formally only in the Senate. While the House will not consider them until to- morrow, Owens criticism of the Senators touched off an advance debate there.
 Rep. Whiteen D.-MissD argued that $6,OOO, O,OOO,OOO slash not only would take money from the war and navy departments but would cripple agriculture.
 The large budget cut, he said, would reduce department of agri- culture funds by 42 per cent, from S947, 100000 to about S553,000,000.

Seek National Emergency End

WASHINGTON, (P-President Truman today asked Congress for legislation to make possible "an early ending" of the state of na- tional emergency under which the country has lived since 1889.
 MT. Truman asked outright re- peal of "A laws, proposed that 36 other emergency statutes be al lowed to lapse upon a declaration of the end of the emergency, and recommended that most of 20 de- fense appropriation measures be wiped out.
 MT. Truman proposed that only l2 of the'"more than 100" emer- gency acts still on the books be extended by permanent legislation.
 Ten others would remain in force for six months after the ac- tual proclamation ending the emergency, whenever it may come, or for some other stated period.
 "The progress of reconversion now makes it possible to take an additional step toward freeing our economy of wartime controls, y MT. Truman said in his message to Congress.
 High White House advisors have indicated to newSmen that if Congress acts with reasonable dis patch, the emergency may be ter minated by July.
 The proclamation would cover both the limited" emergency pro- claimed Sept. g, 1889, and the full" emergency declared May 27, 1941.

.CIO Murray Warns Congress Against
 Punitive" Laws
tBy Harold Ward)

WASHINGTON, (P)-CIO pres ident Philip Murray told Congress today punitive" laws against un- ions will encourage business mo- nopolies and thus prove to be "forerunners of a serious depres- sion involving all Americans"
 In testimony before the Senate labor committee Murray opposed all pending bills to outlaw the closed shop and industry wide bar gaining, change the Wagner act and lift the Norris-LaGuardia acts protection of unions from injunc- tions.
 The CIO chief took this stand after issuing an invitation for all organized labor to join in a con- certed fight against restrictive leg islation as a prelude to talks be- tween the AFL and CIO ovef a proposal to merge their l3,500,000 total membership into one huge organization.
 Murray appointed a committee of five to begin the discussion with similar AFL group.
 He declared in his statement to the Senate committee ''it is not too late" to achieve an expanding peace-time economy of full pro- duction and full employment by measures of cooperation between industry, labor and agriculture which run directly counter to the present drift.
 But Congress-" he said, must make it clear to the people of this country that it will not tolerate the efforts of monopoly to defeat the possibility of achieving such CO., operation.
 "We cannot move far down the road of punitive legislation against labor inspired by monopoly indus tory and invoked by the legislative arm of government without disas- trous consequences"
 Murray contended that postwar industrial strife could have been headed off without new laws by full use of White House machinery for grappling with labor-manage- ment ills.
 He referred to the advisory board for the office of war mobil- ization and reconversion created in 1943.

Atom
Security Maze

The Senate War Investigating Com
mittee Joined this week in the hunt
to determine whether atomic secrets
have been lost to foreign agents.
Earlier a joint Congressional
Atomic Energy committee cancelled
a scheduled public hearing on asser-
tons that secrets have been leaking
out of the Oak Ridge, Tenn, A-bomb
plant. Ten days ago the NeW York
Sun reported that unknown agents
had removed secret materials from
the Oak Ridge plant.
At first Sen. Bourke B. Hicken-
topper, chairman of the joint atomic
committee, denied that any docu-
ments were missing from the Oak
Ridge plant as charged by the news-
paper. He did reveal, however, more
than a year after its occurrence, that
two former Army sergeants had
taken pictures, negatives and docu-
ments from Los Alamos, N. M.
The two veterans, Ernest D. Wallis
of Chicago, and Alexander Won der
Luft, "a, a Princeton University stu
dent, were released in bonds of $780,
900 each to await further hearings.
The men did not enter pleas but in
sisted they had acted inrocently as
souvenir hunters.
Later Sen. Hickenlooper tempered
his outright denial with the assertion
that nothing of vital Importance
was missing from Oak Ridge files, to
his knowledge.

Transatlantic Turtle

London's dignifed drama critics
were shocked this week by "The Voice
Of the Turtle" which opened what
promises to be a long run in Piccadilly.
The three-character farce has more
than four years on Broadway and re-
Gently brought 100000 from Holly
wood.
The last place I encountered such
morals was a rabbit warren" said the
critic of the sedate London Times.
THE allure of semi-juvenile delin-
quency of bedside comedy :. is not
for me-" said the London Observer.
But the mass-circulation Express
hailed it as a little masterpiece" and
the Chronicle called it "best new
comedy in town."
The Voice" has been edited some
to meet requirements of Britain's
lord chamberlain, who censors the
London stage.
What offended some frst-nighters
was the fact that author John Van
Druten, who writes the New York
language as though he were a native,
is English born and bred.
"He now is completely American"
mourned the critic of the Sunday
Graphic.
