centennial observance Of the founding

tOrcst to those who are planning the
event to read how Somerset, Penna.,
celebrated in 1895. The following ma
terial is taken from several news
paper articles preserved in the scrap
books Of the late William H. Welfley,
Somerset County's historian.
There have been parades and pa
rades but viewed from purely his
torical standpoint it is doubtful
whether a more unique demonstration
was ever made in this state or coun-
try than this one The chief charm Of
the pageant was its being complete
surprise, including those making the
arrangements. AT an early hour dele
cations from the various boroughS
and townships began to arrive, when
they At once took the positions previ-
ously assigned them. The parade was
headed by marshals, then the officers
Of the Centennial. Between bands
were military organizations, fire de-

various boroughs and townships The
features Of the parade were mostly

most venerable citizens, one of whom
carried a scythe, representing Father

Thomas Back Hungry
From European Trip
BY the Associated Press

Senator Thomas, Democrat, of
Oklahoma said today professional
belly-achers" in the United States
should be sentenced to 80 days in
any part of Europe"
They would be so glad to get
back" he told a reporter.
Senator Thomas said he Is plenty
glad to be home, himself, after a
three-week tour of the continent.
II came back here hungry" he
said, adding that light meal for
two in London hotel cost him the
equivalent of $12 and somewhat
more substantial repast in Paris
came to $28.
Even If you had a billion dollars
you cannot get enough food in some
places" he said. European farmers
are better of as to food, but they
hoard it."
Senator Thomas and Senator
Young, Republican, of North Dakota,
were official delegates to the Food
and Agricultural Organization con-
ference in Geneva, Switzerland. Both
agreed that Europe faces desperate
food shortage this winter.
Senator Thomas was scheduled to
make second European trip with

Convention does not clearly cover
that contingency. the attorneys said.
Need for Revising Laws Seen.
Therefore, the crux of the situa-
ton seems to be not what you do
but what you get caught doing. AS
a result, some of the attorneys here
said the whole body of the laws of
war needs revision. unless the prin-
ciple is adopted that the victors lay
down the rules.
"Skorzeny." said some of the at
torneys. was a Don Quixote who
liked to do exciting things and
that's all. But this time I think he
has started real argument for the
greyheads to settle"
While this argument was going
on. Skorzeny's seven aides went free,
but Skorzeny himself still was in
custody. He is an SIS officer and as
such, under the ruling of the Inter-
national Military Tribunal here last
year, is subject to mandatory ar
rest"

NUREMBERG. Germany, Sept

Not Caught Red-Handed.
High-ranking attorneys in war
crimes cases here, although not
surprised at the acquittal. said Col
Rosenfeld's remark was valid. One
of them, who asked not to be identi-
fled by name, said he believed the
court may have used this line OF
reasoning:
Skorzeny, whose first turn under
the world spotlight came when he
kidnapped Benito Mussolini from the
| Allies at Adolf Hitler'S command
and his men wore the uniforms OF
the enemy in battle. They admitted
it. The Geneva Convention, the
basis of all laws of war, forbids that

Sauce for Some Ganders
Chicago Tribune


 4 claque of New York left wingers has been at tempting 10 promote a boycott of Kristen Flagstad, the Wagnerian soprano Their charge is that her late husband collaboraed with the Nazis during the occupation of Norway. His death prevented full airing of the charges, and Mime Flagsad denies that she had any sympathy with the Nazi cause. This sudden interest in the political theology of musical and other artists is strange variation from the constant gurgles of praise by the same people for Communists and fellow travellers in the arts. The latter are acclaimed not solely because they are good artists which some of them are: special demands are made on their behalf because they workers in the Communist cause.
 Paul Robeson provides a case in point An at- tempt was made recently to make martyr of Robe son. because he was denied the of public building in Peoria for a concert. The Communists succeeded in distortng the facts thoroughly that review of them is in order.
 The Peoria Star has set it's own readers right on the subject but the wire service reports at the time of the incident were defective The Star points out that only discrimination that the people of Peoria evidenced against Robeson was that they stayed away from the ticket office in such large numbers that commercial concert which his manager had scheduled in that city was an assured flop and accordingly canceled. The authorities in Peoria did nothing what ever to interfere with the recital
 It was only when the advance ticket sale dis appointed Robeson's packers that the Communists in Peoria cancelled the affair and demanded that he be given space for recital in public building Public officials of Peoria ale under obligation to make the buildings under their control available to any pryate purpose, and they refused the demand.
 This legitimate exercise of their discretion was made the basis of publicity campaign of falsehood which reached it's climax, the Star reports when sev eraI carloads of armed Communists met Robeson and announced that they were hand to prevent his coming to any harm Nobody in Peoria had any in- tention of harming him. It was all part or phony publicity campaign
 Whether any singer or actor should be judged on any other basis than that of talent is debatabe How ever if political theology is to be applied as test Robesons concerts Charlie Chaplin's movies and Jo Dayidson's sculpture would all have to be forbidden public facilities. Ii they not actual members of the Communist Party they certainly assiduous workers in that vineyard of treason
 The same people who are conducting the at- tempted artistic ynching of Mime Fagstad would of course scream to high heaven about civil liberties if 5heir tactics were applied to their pink pets.

 The resolution already has been opposed by James Curry, attorney supposed to be representing the Indians.
 If the four Indian delegates now in Washington give the resolution their endorsement the Department of Interiors Indian Office which invited the Indians to make the trip and promoted the journey will have turned the tables for the good of Alaska.
 But if these delegates oppose the measure, or find some other way of delaying it, the Department will be responsible for Alaska losing another chance at gaining the industry

SCABt

The matter of giving more leisure time to workers has had considerable support and has even been written into law, that the 40-hour week is the standard yardstick which determines when an en- ployee works overtime
 But there is always some rebel--a union man would say "scab'-who fouls things up.
 This particular fowl is a hen out in New Jersey which just broke record for that State in laying one egg day for 146 days. The hen, Miss Eggstacy just doesn't seem to believe in all of this nonsense about corn for less work, portal-to portal or roost- te-nest pay and all the rest

SECRET COP TAX STRATEGY

Despite what Republican leaders say about mo more tax legislation, . q strong movement is afoot in the House Ways and Means Committee to bring out a "quickie" measure to slash excise taxes. This would chiefly affect freight transportation and communications.
 Committee members have been keeping very quiet about it. but the strategy is to put Truman "on the spot" by tossing another tax bill right hack at him this sesslon-a bill he would find tougher to veto than the last one.
 At a secret pow-Wow Of several Ways and Means Republicans the other day, it was believed that an eXcise-tax cut wCu.d meet the same veto fate of the income-taX bill However, it was also arcucd that such veto would leave Truman open to the same charge he leveled at the Republicans in his income taX-yeto mesea age-that COP spon- sors were nilring the little fellow. Only this time. the shoe would be on Iusman's foot, since excise taxes are largely paid by the consumer.
 Strategy is to rush a bill to the House floor that would slash ex- cises totaling more than Sl.OJ0,- c000oo on the following goods and s5ryices.
 Tarsportauop-freight and per sonal;
 Communications " telegrams and lcng- distance phone calls;
 Handbags gloves, and certain ether wearing apparel;
 Certain cosmetics, including hose used in barbershops:
 Medicinal alcohol and various ether nosmums sold n drugstores
 The 3 percent excise tax CT freight and the g percent levy or telegIan.s and long distance calls taken together bring in revenue, of around S450,00o0O0 a year. Tht freight tax would be wiped out en- tirely in the suggested bill, while the g percent communication assessment would be slashed drasti, cally.
 Whether the secret COP plan materialize remains to be seen. bu a strong effort will be made to pu t over in the Ways and Mean Committee. probably with the sup
