WASHINGTON, Sept. 10 - In
certain private meetings with
Democratic politicos, President
Truman made an unannounced
and unreported decision, turning
down outright political action to
offset Dewey and Taft on the
stump. MI. Truman said this is
not the time.
Several speaking engagements
lpressed by local leaders were
turned down by the White
House. Not much was done po-
litically with Labor day or the
American Legion convention by
the President. In meetings with
the men who urged him to get
out and campaign, Mr. Truman
said generally he thinks his best
chance is to be a good Presi-
dent. He seems convinced cam
paign speaking would not do
much good.
Possibly the President is
mindful that foreign develop
ments may overturn, and have
more effect on politics than
speeches could, before the con-
ventions start next June. His ad-
visers also generally agree his
position on the politically dom

Since we have but few large
fortunes in New Hanover, the
hospital must cover its deficit
by gifts, requests and allot-

the makers of wills and inspire
bequests; hence they should be
kept constantly informed of the

The Gallup Poll
Majority Favor Conference
To Plan Improvement
OF World Agency
BY GEORGE GALLUP
Director, American Institute
of Public Opinion

~ OF
PRINCETON, N. j., Sept.
13-United Nations Week is
being launched in an atmos-
phere of public opinion
friendly toward the u. N.
and yet at the same time
critical of it.
In spite of the U. Ms
shortcomings and the gloomy
annual report issued recently by
its Secretary General Trygve Lie,
an overwhelming majority of
American voters continue to
favor the two-year-old world
organization.
Practically no wants it done
away with; on the contrary. a
very substantial number think it
should be strengthened to make
it a world-government.
That is shown in a qualitative,
22-question survey of public at
titudes toward the U. N. conduct
ed by the Institute.
This intensive survey also
brings out the fact that more than
80 per cent of the nations voters
approve the idea of calling a
world conference to work out
plans to strengthen the N. N.
The desire of the public to
breathe new life and vigor into
the U. N. may stem from the fact
that comparatively few people to-
day-less than one-third - ex-
press satisfaction with the prog
ress of the organization during
the two years of its life. This
feeling is found also among the
people of other countries such as
France and Canada.
A full and rounded measure
ment of attitudes toward the
U. N. would obviously not be
possible by asking one question
or even two or three. The Insti-
tute used a multi-question tech
nique, as it often has in the past
on other issues, designed to ap-
praise attitudes qualitatively as
we'll as quantitatively.
Some of the % questions are
given below. Others will be re-

No Right To Authority

A Dunn constable has been convicted OF d
tear gas assault upon a prisoner wnlen
caused the loss of the mans eye. ~
The presiding jurist termed the case very
unfortunate" He said he was convinced tle
officer used too much force In making 'ae
arrest but expressed belief that he acted IN
good faith and that the act was not oehoer-
ate. PRAYER for judgement for him was con-
tinued for IL months upon good behaVlor
and payment of court costs.
This appears to be another instance OF an
officer incapable of making an arrest WIFI
out injuring the offender. 1t IS, unless the
representative of the law acts in protection
of his life, prima facie evidence that ne IS
unable to properly fulfill his job. Armed
with a gun and other weapons, his badge OF
authority makes him a dangerous man. AS
is often the case, the assault was apparently
u@nprovoked because the victim was later
acquitted of charges of being lntoxlcateo'
disorderly conduct and resisting arrest.
The report from Dunn did not say whether
the constable has been relieved of duty.
For the safety of others, it is hoped that ne
has. The incident should certainly dlsquall-
fly him from further law enforcement au-
thority. Immediate discharge of an officer
convicted of brutality is one of the best
means of lowering the frequency OF these
disgraceful incidents. Not only does it re-
nov those unsuited, by temperament or
otherwise, from their responsibilities but it is
good warning to others who would copy
their tactics that there are definite conse-
quences for such misconduct. -

The Only Hope

Following World war I, tremendous feel
ing developed throughout the United
States that the nations future lot would De
much better if it would leave Europe alone.
Cynical in seeing a war fought to make
democracy safe fail TO fulfill that high pur-
pose, the country told itself hat it had gam
ed nothing. Not only had it sacrificed to
down Europe's aggressors, but it sent MIL
lions of dollars on a one-Way trip across
the Atlantic for relief and reconstruction.
This feeling that the quarrelsome Old World
was no longer the United States business
flourished to become the greatest factor
wrecking our possible participation in the
League of Nations.
Therefore, it was only natural that MIL
lions of Americans should lean toward lso-
lation in the two decades following that
war.
But, in the space of a generation, Europe
became ready to fight again and
arose to the occasion and, as in the past, sup
piled the spark.
Again, we were forced to enter a war
thousands of miles away.
But after victory this time, the American
attitude toward its responsibility IN Its TIL
umph was entirely different from that fol-
lowing World war I.
This nation was convinced that isolation
ism was impossible. All progress, especially
in air Transportation either as a weapon or
an instrument of peace, reduced the size OF
the world to the point that no large MEMBER
could ignore it's %neighbors. Whereas we had
Stunned the League of Nations, we now led
in organizing a similar body-the Onlteo
Nations. Today, most Americans favor 1t,
/ despite it's failures, and are asking that 1t
be given greater strength to fulfill its peace
full purposes.
Yet. Europe itself is actually pushing
sentiment among some American elements
back towards isolationism.
How?
By outright failure to cooperate--Russla
is. of course, the principal example-or by
decrease in premiums on that type lnsur-
ance; an upward swing in highway mlsflaps
necessitates raising the cost OF that lnSur-
ance. That is because of the. fact that when
loss payments exceed a reasonable proper
ton of premium receipts, rates must be
upped; when loss payments are less than
a reasonable proportion of premium recelpts'
rates come down. ~
Thus, from the insurance standpoint alone,
it is easy to see that the factory has become
safer while the highway has become more
dangerous than ever before. This industrial
safety trend has prevailed since the compen-
sation act was adopted in 1929 with todays
insurance rates about 80 per cent less than
those applicable that year. At the same

FORD REDUCES PRICE
OF NEW CARS

R. W. LeDuc, local Ford dealer
states that all Ford cars were re-
duced in price January is. In dis
cussing the reduction in prices, Mr.
LeDuc quotes Henry Ford II, who
said:
although more than one million
OF our customers are waiting Tor
delivery of their cars at present
prices, we are Immediately reducing
the price of every Ford car, some
models as much as $50. This IS
down payment toward a con-
tinued high level of production and
employment in the months ahead.
We believe that the shock treat
ment is needed to halt the insane
spiral of mounting costs and rising
prices and to restore a sound base
for the hopeful period of postwar
production we are now entering.
The price reduction was disclosed
in a press conference at Dearborn
in which the entire policy COM
mittee of the Ford Motor Company
participated. The new price scale
was wired simultaneously to Ford
dealers throughout the nation, ef-
fective Immediately. Mr.. Ford said
the company had made a modest
profit for the last three months OF
1946, and intended to continue TO
operate in the black.

Four specific varieties Of sponges
are found in the Gulf, ranging In
commercial value as follows:
sheepswool, yellow, grass, and wire
or velvet. The sponge is, in reality,
the skeleton of an animal that has
adhered to the bottom Of the sea,
or to some submerged surface. II
stems from the most ancient and
lowest forms of marine life. When
brought to the surface, the sponge
is covered with a tenacious black
skin and the cells are filed with a
gray gelatinous matter called "gur-
ry."

On Friday the Libby Terriers
meet strong Columbia Falls team
on the local floor. The Falls team
is at present tied for third place
in the conference standings having

is anticipated by the Terriers and
this should be one of the best games
of the season.
Saturday the Big Fork Vikings

avenge last weeks defeat inflicted
on them by the Terriers. Big Fork
has a team of big boys, inexper-
fenced but improving with each

hard worker and a good shot
making the Big Fork team diff
cult team to beat.

Starch Spots

To remove starch spots which
stick to the surface of hand iron,
rub the surface lightly with cloth
wrung from mild soapsuds, or
with fine steel wool or a mild clean
ing powder, after the iron cools. If
the iron sticks during ironing, rub
it on little salt sprinkled on paper,
or smooth lightly with paraffin or
beeswax. A pinch of salt in the
starch will tend to prevent
starched garments from sticking to
the iron.

Selecting RUGS

In selecting rugs the question Of
size is very important. If a rug is
too small, it contacts the visual size
of the room and tends to crowd the
grouping Of the furniture. In the
average room, the rug should have
not more than a foot of floor mar
gin. Floor coverings of unreDeved
solid color tend to disturb color bal
ance in a room and for that reason
are hard to use in arriving at
honey, Ivable effects. Such mono
tone emphasis on the floor may
have an unbalancing result similar
to that produced, for example, by a
breakfront 8 feet long dominat-
ing the side of a l2-foot room.
