dents to Columbia Falls. He may

at Apgar and Bolton transporting
students to the district high school
in Columbia Falls.
There are seven children of
school age in Nyack largely as the
result of new numbering activity.

evening as to what would
be done.

Joyce Greenwalt, Bolton third,
fourth and fifth grades, and Mrs.
Alyce Merz, Bolton first and sec
ond grades. Mrs. Myrtice Powell
has the sixth seventh and eighth.

subjects includes: no Latin this
year, but Spanish taught by Miss
Betty Wright. A public speaking
course will be taught by Mrs. Clare
Stowe Mudd, and physics and che
mistry will be offered by Leo
Schweinfurt and Mrs. Ethel Lee.

luired of all high school students
and will be taught by Miss Wright
md Coach Schweinfurt.

PRIMER Strike Shuts
Il Danish Papers
BY the Associated Press

COPENHAGEN, Mar. II Foul
thousand members of the Copen.
hagen printers union struck today
halting publication OF II of ths
|citys 13 daily newspapers and al
other periodicals. They sought in
creased wages, a shorter working
day and longer vacations.
Two newspapers whose employees
are not members of the union, the
Labor Party's Social Demokraten
and the Communist Party's Land
Og Folk, were not affected. One
paper, Information, was published
by its editors, but 1t will not appear
again during the strike because OF
a ruling Of the journalists associa-
tion forbidding members to work in
struck plant.
A lockout, which would close all
Danish provincial papers as well as
those in Copenhagen, was con-
sidered by meeting of the Periodi-
cal Employers Association, but deci-
sion was deferred for at least 10
days.
The printers, now receiving $50 to
$35 weekly, have asked increases of
50 to 50, seven-hour instead of
eight-hour working day and three
instead of two week vacation.
During vacation they are paid
per cent of their annual salary in
stead of regular pay. The union
demands that this be increased to
8 per cent. .
Publishers have announced will
ingness to grant the seven-hour day,
but have refused to raise pay or
lengthen vacations.

States rights, and government &C
cusations of ''whitewash" by local
officials.

claring that I'VE resent the in
trusion of the Federal Government
in our local affairs" asserted that
this prosecution was fomented and
started by Negro uplift society up
- North, aimed and abetted by the

He described some of the charges
as emotional"
"It should be definitely and clearly
asserted that the subcommittee in
terest is not directed toward uncov-
ering ghosts or situations which
can be used as scandal in municipal
department copy for public release y
the report stated.
To promote better understanding
of District operations and to inform
the public of District operating mat
tiers which stand in need Of cor
rections and better control" the
subcommittee offered the following
other comments:
"The charges involving the al
legged embezzlement of public
monies in the Auto Lien Division is
still being factually examined by
the General Accounting Office and
a complete report must await their
audit. Meanwhile, the matter has
been referred by the First Deputy
Recorder CA. Oliver Thornton) to
the District Attorneys Office and to
the company holding the surety
bond.
Many Are Hard Working.
while it appears true that few
selected positions in the Recorders
Office as whole are of the So
called gravy-train category, the
vast majority Of the employees are
hard working, conscientious pub
lie servants"
The reference to the District At
torney's office, Mr.. Koran declared,
does not mean formal action has
been taken or necessarily will be
taken against any employe or for
mer employe in the Auto Lien Di-
vision.
~ am not making any assertion
of embezzlement," Mr.. Horan said.
THE audit will be finished soon and,
until then, there will be no state
ment by the subcommittee. The
matter has been referred to the Dis
trict Attorney as routine proce-
dure for possible later legal pro-
ceedings in the event that the audit
juStif1es such action"
During the investigation there
were reports that the GAO had
found several hundred instances of
50-cents fees which were not s.re-
corded, although stamps, had been
affixed to auto liens.
Shepard to Be Questioned.
The subcommittee revealed also
that DR.. Shepard will be questioned
about the extent of his absence"
from his Office. Dr. Shepard, pastor
of a church at Overlook, near
Philadelphia. sent word to the sub
committee on February 18 that he
would return to Washington in

IN WARMLY NOT IN PEACE?

The naked profit motive cannot
solve the difficulties of Great Britain"
declares Mr.. Clement Attlee, Prime Min
lister of the British government.
There are many people ready to agree
with the declaration of Mr.. Atlee and
many others who are anxiously explor-
ing the possibility of providing compile
mentary motive to the complicated capt.
talistic system.
+ Mr.. Attlee does not see why "the mo-
tive of service to the community" should
not operate in peace as it did in war The
same question has perplexed others who
have pondered the problems of society.
To implement "the motive of service" in
connection with the economic activity of
men and women, would be to give to our
economic order something of grandeur to
restrain the grasp of greed.

BRITISH WOMEN KNIT

Some idea of the situation in Grea t
Britain can be gained from the formation
of an organization of women to knit and
sew goods for sale in dollar areas by a
non-profit export company.
Leading the women is the eighty.one
year old Queen Mother Mary, who has
already contributed six floral chair COW
ers, specifying that they be sold in dol
lar area and that the money received be
translated into pounds and used for
charity.
Can the people of the United States
imagine situation in which women of
this country, led by the wife of the Pres-
dent, would undertake to knit goods for
export in order to secure credits in a
foreign country for the purchase of nee
essary imports?
