John L. Lewis that wages are too

that Mayor Humphreys opponent

Just because it didn't happen last

won't happen this coming week.

novice and a professional fighter,

The Star-Journaps Ideas column
the other day printed a letter de-
Tending the record of the Fifth
ward alderman. The story uses
the name Of Mayor Humphrey in
trying to cloud the issue. The
Mayor hasn't and will not indOrse
the Fifth ward incumbent. The
letter writers claim the incumbent
alderman has been the Mayors
friend right along. THAT has
been the past few months only
but what about the past four years?
Isn't it true that one of the four
signers to the letter hasn't spoken
to the Mayor in nearly two years ?
Isn't it true that the Mayor has
refused (and will continue to do sol
to speak on the same platform with
the Fifth ward incumbent? Isn't
it true that the alderman has tried
to get the Mayors Endorsement but
it was turned down? Then why are
the labor leaders claiming indorse-
ment from the Mayor when the
Mayor won't allow himself to be
used or be seen on the same plat
form with the Fifth ward alder
man?
Now, Pm not trying to defend
the daily press but to this column
a spade is a spade. The record

Europe Turning to Tractors
Europe has its eye on tractor pow
er as an aid to agricultural rccov-
cry.
The farm tractor was Just getting
into use in Europe during World
War l and had a small part in the
ensuing agricultural recovery in Eu-
rope. Naum Jasny OF the depart
ment Of agriculture points out in an
article in Foreign Agriculture which
deals with European agricultural re-
covery prospects that more trac-
tor power is likely TO be used in
Europe
Since the First World war the
tractor has been vastly improved"
he notes. and has acquired great
importance throughout the world.
The tractor was used. though only
to a moderate extent, in continental
Europe to lessen the decline in crop
production during this war and will
be used to speed up postwar recov-
cry. Indeed. all European countries
which lost draft power in this war
want TO replace it, at least in part,
by tractors and thus avoid the wait
ing until animals are bred and ma
tured."
