Huge Amount Of
 Terminal Bonds Cashed By Vets

WASHINGTON, (P)-First, in- complete reports to the treasury today showed that the government paid out at least $l03,813,35O to re- deem CT terminal leave bonds on Tuesday and Wednesday, the first two days veterans could cash them.
 Officials regard this as only a fragmentary measure of the early cash-inS, which an Associated Press survey indicated were heavy in many areas. A spot check yes terday by (P) showed the initial rush has tapered off.
 The treasury figures were in complete because banks were given 30 days in which to turn in to the federal reserve the bonds they have cashed. The department plans a telegraphic check Monday and officials hope for more defin- ite returns then.
 Appr oximately Sl,800,000,OOO worth of bonds were issued to about 9,000,O0O veterans in pay ment for unused furlough time while in service.

U. $. Steel Corp. RailrOaders On Strike

PITTSBURGH, (P)-A strike of 1900 railroaders employed by the U. s. Steel Corp, today brought immediate curtailment of produc- tion at the firms Pittsburgh dis trict plants.
 Two unions, representing em- plOyees of the subsidiary union railroad, stopped work this morn ing after a break in contract nego- tiations. The road connects Big Steel" plants, employing 35,000, and feeds into major railroad lines.
 Carnegie-Illinois Steel Corp, biggest U. s. Steel producing sub sidiary, banked 10 blast furnaces immediately and an official said seven, and possibly eight, other furnaces would go down during the day. The Clarion Coke By Products plant was ordered cut back to 32 per cent of capacity.
 A U. s. Steel spokesman said lO1 of the 1O8 open hearths served by the railroad were ordered closed down as we'll as three cleo tric furnaces. He said primary mill and finishing mill operations were expected to come to a halt tonight.

Canadians May
 Resist Print Probe

QUEBEC, Can. PA)-Canadian subsidiaries of International Pa per company are likely to resist further" the ruling that they must answer subpoenas in the United States grand jury investigation of neWsprint supply and prices, a special New York dispatch to the Financial Post here indicates.
 The statement was made by counsel for the neWSprint council following lengthy judgment made recently by Henry w. God dard, the federal judge in charge.
 Authorities point out that one course remains for the Canadian companies to get their case before the supreme court. They can re- fuse to abide by the ruling, the government could cite them for contempt of court and they could then appeal the conviction before the highest tribunal.
 The Canadian International counsel has taken very definite and pronounced views" the dis patch said. They might resist fur ther in order to have the question reviewed"
 In affidavits before the court, two Canadian directors have pro- tested that the U. s. inquiry "vio- lates the sovereignty of the Do- minion."

Diamond Knot Cargo Will Be Salvaged and Used

SEATTLE, tP) The 7,40O,G00 cans of Alaska salmon at the bot tom of Crescent Bay, west of Port Angeles, are probably all still in perfect condition and should be on grocers' shelves throughout inc country in coming weeks, a marine surveyors representative said yes terday.
 The cardboard packing cartons have deteriorated, somewhat han dicapping effXts to salvage the cargo of the sunken freightr Dia- mond Knot, but cans already brought to the surface are in good shape, James Cow, of Alexander Cow, Inc, said.
 All will be inspected by govern ment inspectors. The salvage work may take two months. Fifty thou- sand gallons of herring oil havt - ready been pumped from tanks the ship, which was sunk in e. lision with the Fenn Victory 4 13. The salmon cargo was valu at $3,500, ,0O0.

Higher Living
 Costs Predicted For States

CHICAGO, (F) - The nations principal commodity markets cast lengthening shadows over family household budgets today in dizzy whirl of rising prices.
 With most staple foods at high peak for the year and certain to go still higher, the consumer was advised to adjust to substitutes, such as spaghetti, and to shop around for cheaper cuts of meat. Only fresh fruits and vegetables were holding at steady prices.
 Some observers predicted that unless consumer resistance" shows up in the market places eggs will reach $l a dozen, butter and meat $1 a pound. Such grains as corn and oats sold in futures trad ing yesterday at new record high prices in the 99-year history of the Chicago board of trade.
 In anticipation of further ad- vancing prices for corn, one Chi cago broker reported that wheat producers were withholding some of their l947 crop from market channels
 The midwestern drought which sharply curtailed corn crop pros poets was an important factor in meat prices but in virtually all other commodity exchanges the trend was sharply upward, includ- ing cocoa, sugar, hides, cotton, cot tonseed oil and coffee. Some of

No Need For
 Special Session

"AoIlI4Nb | oIN, VT J - OtIIdItL Vandenberg R.-MichD said today he sees no need for a special se.- sion of Congress on the EurOpef T economic crisis. He added that the decision, however, is up 10 Pres. dent Truman.
 Bandenberg, who is chairman Of the Senate foreign relations com mittee and handles legislation dealing with foreign affairs, he'd his first news conference since re- turning yesterday from the Inte"- American security conference at Metropolis, Brazil.
 On Wednesday, undersecreta,y of state Robert Lovett told repor'- CTS the European situation may - mand United States help in 1927 and indicated a special session may be in order.
 Questioned on the Outlook, Var denberg said
 "I have no information on the subject. There is not a word from the state department or the Wh @ House about special session since the day President Truman sa d none would be necessary"
 Vandenberg said the reporte"s asking about a special session were putting the cart before the horse"
 The Senator said the need frr such a session to consider possible aid to England and other Euro pean nations depends entirely un- on authentic disclosure of the Ad- ministration's plans" Under the resolution adjourn i ing the last session of COngresS, Vandenberg as the states presid- ing officer, together with Speaker Martin of the House and the SeN- ate and House Republican leade"s, could call Congress back together without Presidential action.
 But Vandenberg said Republi- can Congressional leaders have no plans at this time for a special session.
 1 Members of Congress, VandcH- berg added, would not dodge" any request from Mir. Truman that was backed by adequate infor- nation"
 Tn any event, Vandenberg said that a special session would hard ly be possible before October l5. He noted that numerous members of the House and Senate now are abroad studying international con- ditions and that other Congress ional groups are planning similar trips.

Ministers Exemption
Washington Post)

When the Supreme Court is called upon to decide whether not part-time missionary and house. toulouse preacher is a minister of the Gospel it has
 very difficult and delicate task. It is not surprising that the court should divide, to 4, such ques tion it did in the of Wesley w. Cox Theodore R. Thompson and Wilbur RoiSum against the United States recently. The three JehoYah5 Wit nesses who classified conscientious obectorS under the Selective Service Act. All three claimed total exemption from the draft ministers of religion Being denied that classification, Messrs. Cox and Thompson left civilian public service camp without permission and MT. Roisum failed to return after proper leave The court upheld their conviction.
 Justices Douglas and Black dissented the ground that Congress had exempted ministers whether CT not their full time is given to religious service Justices Murphy and Rutlsdge took similar view But both dissents gave scant attention to the facts in the case Possibly the entire court would agree that some part-time ministers would be exempt. But Jus tice Reed writing for the majority, points out that Thompson did not become Jehovahs Witness until after the war broke out that he did not claim to be q conscientious obecor until after he had been classi- fled IA, and did not assert he minister of religion until 10 days after his status conSclentlouS objector had been recognized.
 In the cases of the other two men, the available evidence indicated that they spent "ony small DOT tion of their time in religious activities. In none of the cases was there evidence that the men were de voting their entire lives to the furtherance of religious work While safeguarding the exemption privilege for duly ordained ministers" the court also has an obligation to guard against the evasion of wartime service by men who make religious work only avocation and others who seek any excuse to evade the duties of citizenship.

to Canada At the same time the Canadian history books give little information about culture and customs As a result the peoples of both lands living
 side by side the foremost example of peaceful rea- tions in world filled with tensions have but tering of knowledge and that oftentimes erroneous of each other To many Americans all Canadians fishing guides, mounted police fur trappers
 A comprehensive study conducted recently by the Canada United States Committee Education earhed little evidence of deliberate bias For the most the those of ignorance indifference rather than malice Evidently history writers, well those in Canada, do not appreciate the import ance of acquainting Americans and Canadians with each others achievements and goals Or perhaps they just granted that the nations will know all about each other without special attention What the assumption, it has proved to be fallacous.
 The committee urges the rewriting of text books to provide both Americans and Canadians with broader and more accurate picture. As the report observes these two democratic nations must continue to stand example to the rest of the world of how two great nations live side by side in peace" This cherished tradition continue just long mutual trust and understanding remain in our hearts and minds. Mutual understanding and goodwill can come through a deeper appreciation of each others history.

 it meant that they approved tn $ gesture of American friendship; and hitherto the Communist party has voted against every proposal of American aid to France; in fact, has even called strikes partly tt present American loodstuffs from being unloaded.
 So the resolution of Deputy Schumann expressing the thanks of the Fpench Assembly for the American gesture which has be- come So popular in France, put the Communists squarely on the spot
 After hurried consultation, however, they decided not to op- pose the Friendship Train The resolution of thanks passed un- acknowledgement to the amazement Of the French people, who hither- to had seen a constant succession of Communits noes" against American aid to France. The Communists didn't abstain. but voted for the Friendship resolution

FRENCH PRESS SPREADS ITSELF

French newspapers are pltl1ully thin these days. The newsprlnt shortage is so severe that Parisian papers are only four sheets Of jealously hoarded, condensed news. Hitherto, they have generally ig- nored arrivals of American grain.
 Wit the Friendship Train, how every. the really spread themselves. Most papers have carried front gage headlines daily The only eX- caption has been the two Com munist papers, but even one of them, Ce Soir, finally had to break the frigid role of silence regard ing the Friend Ship It actually carried a few paragraphs acknoW- !edging the fact that this gift from the American people had arrived.
 Crcss section of comment rom French newspapers:
 LAube- The Friend Ship re- affirms the link between France and America, a tie whose strength has already been proven in com mon battle for liberty and demo- cracy in which our blo0ds mixed on common soil"
 Le Populaire-"We know with what enthusiasm all Americans un- loaded and feted the Friendship Tran. We know what is represent ed by the cargo brought by the ship graciously lent by the United States Lines.7
 Franc-Tireur- Each American wanted to make his contribution to this gesture of solidarity and if the steamship company has refus- ed any remuneration, the tug boats, the port management, and the national railroads have simil arly assured the gratitude of un- loading and distributing the food 70
 L'Aurora-"The wind whistles across this pile of rubbish which was formerly Le Havre. Unde. the grey sky the stubby silhouette of the American Leader appears In the harbor Two French llaes frame a name pained on the hull. Friendship Cargo"

The food will then be unloaded by schools and crphanages under the supervision of American relief and church agencies.
 At their suggestion and that of the French Ministry of Health, 90 percent of the food will go to children. Incidentally, the French Ministry of Health and all other French Government officials have knocked themselves inside out to cooperate The French railroads are huling the food free. A French stevedoring company is unloading the ship free at cost to them of l,590000 francs A French tugboat company bertled the ship free. And the French Relief Agency EN- TRADE. put up 3,000,000 francs to handle various overhead eXpen- ses. In fact, all French agencies have been working night and day to make this gesture of friendship just as successful as it was in the USA.

so much death, to see there at the dock this boat painted in col ors red, white and blue, bearing gifts offered by one people to an- other people who have suffered and who suffer yet is a very great comfort indeed As long as there will be in this world ideas of such kindness, such realization of a line project and such acts of cOopera- ton, one cannot lose hope for humanity and for better days for all peoples"
 Combat-"During this time, from their portholes overlooking the docks, the sailors of the American cargo ship, who looked like actors from sea story, were contemplat- ing the spectacle of friendship. The cook was Chinese and was taking pictures.
 Le MCnde-"This spontaneous ges- ture of thousands of United States citizens on a stretch of 5000 miles over which the Friendship Train passed, will deeply touch the French people. We would like a list of the donors but it is diff cult to obtain, for true generosity is discreet, Our gratitude, how ever, should not be SO

FRENCH WELCOME MAGNIFICENT

The French people have really tuned themselves upside down to welcome the Friendship Train. At .irst, some of those who had some thing to do with organizing the train were worried, worried the strikes would tie up cargo unload ing that trains wouldn't run, that the food would be held up for weeks.
 Just the opposite happened. The dockworkers union, one of the toughest in France, and hitherto striking against the Marshall Plan, let il be known they would gladly unload food from the people of America And only short time after the Friend Ship arrived they were at work Furthermore, the railroads, seriously crippled by lack O. coal and worn-out equipment backed the cars alongside the ship even while Ambassador Catfrey o.Jb-AN 0Ql HIS lI4t @k4NhAAiAllto ANAt monies ill an effort to get the food distributed in hurry
 Unfortunately, the boxcar short age is so severe that it will take some time to get the food all over France. but the first token train is moving down the center of France today through Dion and Lyons to Marseilles, the heart of French Communism
 h the end. it will take about ten trains to distribute the food throughout France and a total of TO boxcars. In distributing the Locd, we are trying to use the same plan followed by the Friend- ship Trains in the U S.-in re- verse. Just as the food was collect Cd by picking up hoxcars at Ameri- can towns. so it will be distributed by dropping off boxcars in France

ALASKA'S FEDERAL TAXES

Cinnamon Plentiful Once
More in United States

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Cinnamon,
scarce as black pepper in Amer
ica's wartime spice stockpile, is
plentiful once more.
Some 20 million pounds of the
familiar curled sticks of dry bark
have reached the United States
since imports resumed normal
channels in 1916.
The Western world long obtained
most of its cinnamon from Ceylon.
Coffee gradually claimed land from
Ceylon's cinnamon gardens.
The spice trade turned from the
mild, true cinnamon to the more
pungent, less expensive, thicker
bark of it's relative, the cassia
tree.
Thus the cinnamon that gives zest
to Americas buns, pies and baked
apples is normally the powdered
bark known to the spice trade as
cassia. Southern China, Java and
Sumatra are its principal sources.
But when cassia bark imports
plummeted to zero in 1943-45, Amer
leans we're glad to fall back on the
true cinnamon from Ceylon as a
wartime substitute for the CHINA
mon substitute.
Among the oldest of known spices,
cinnamon and cassia T mentioned
in writings of 1000 years ago.
