gas. She was always bioated' hao
awful stomach gas pains, daliy

lady says she is FREE of STOM-

is due to taking INNER-AlD. Her
meals agree with her. No gas or

were Taft and labor committee
members Joseph H. Ball, R.,
MINI, Irving M. Ives, R., N. Y,
James E. Murray, D., Mont. and
Allen J.. Ellender, D. La.
The Senate coalition swept the
bill to passage after crushing, 73
to 10, a milder substitute spon-
sored by IL Democrats and sup
ported by Senate Democratic
Leader Alben w. Barley, Ky.
Barley pleaded in vain for
adoption of the substitute, warn
ing repeatedly that President
Truman will veto a punitive"
version. He went on to predict
that the compromise finally work
ed out between the two chambers
will be worse" than the Senate
measure.
At no time were political i'm
plications of the legislation for
gotten. The Republicans took the
position that they yer carrying
out o campaign pledge which the
strike-weary people wanted full
filled and that MI. Truman must
accept full responsibility if no law
is enacted.
Administration Democrats count
cred in turn that the Republicans
set out deliberately to pass a
punitive measure and put the
President on the political spot
even though organized labor is
solidly for a veto.
Barley charged in closing de.
bate that House Speaker Joseph
w. Martin had tried to '.intimi-
date" Mr.. Truman through a
recent statement in which the
COP chieftain said the President
would be given no. chance to pass
on a second labor bill if he vetoes
the first.
The makeup of the Senate con-
ference committee indicated the
principal issue to be threshed out
will be restrictions on industry
wide bargaining. The House bill
bans outright industrywide ne
gotiations and the Senate measure
does practically nothing about it.
Taft was defeated both in COM
mittee and On the floor in his at.
tempt to impose some restrictions
on such bargaining and is believ-
ed ready to plump for the House
version. But, if he does, he may
start a battle royal among the
Senate confereeS because Ives,
Morse, Murray and Ellender form
ed the committee coalition which
defeated him on the issue.

Devoll had been shot at close

evident on his neck, officers said,
Pine needles and straw were
found on the clothing of Devoll

THE PRESS-HERE AND IN RUSSIA

The enormous difference between the Russian and the Amerr
can ideas of government is perfectly illustrated by the recent
denunciations of our press by high Soviet officials, and their
demand that restrictive measures be taken to stop "untalr" crit
icsms of Russia.
The Soviet spokesman seem to be all in favor OF a free press
so long as it's comment agrees with their curious ideas of
right and wrong. In Russia, the press is "free" to print gov
ernment-inspired editorials and official handouts from the po-
litburo, the Foreign Office and the Kremlin. If the slightest
deviation from the party line is found in a Russian newspaper,
the usual practice is to send the editor in charge on a long voy-
age from which there is no returning.
The Russians may be sincere when they say they cannot
understand American newspapers. This is one of very few
nations left on the face of the earth where any editor, so long
as he stays within the laws covering libel and other crimes, can
say what he pleaseS. The Russians seem to think that the
growing criticism of Soviet actions in our press is the result OF
orders from the government. Nothing, as every American
knows, could be further from the truth. 1t is, to the con-
trary, the simple consequence of the fact that the majority OF
editors believe that the principles underlying U. S. foreign
policy are correct and inevitable.
The press is the basis of all other freedoms. Destruction
of the right to criticize to speak ones mind, must be followed
by the destruction of free government, free enterprise, freedom
of religion. The Soviet press is. used as a weapon to- turn Rus
sian people into mental robots-and to make every man and
woman slavishly think alike and repeat the same phrases. The
Russians don't realize it, but their recent violent denunciahOns
of the American press are a fine tribute to it-and to the Sys-j
tenn of government which makes its existence possible.

Thirsty Industries Face
Shortage Of Pure Water

PHILADELPHIA. - Add current
shortages: A growing scarcity of
clean water for Americas increas-
ingly thirsty industries.
The reason for this seeming para
dox come from Richard H. De-
Mott, vice president of ski Indus
tries, Inc, who says that the short
age is the result of a 20-year lag in
production of ~high-speed water
pumping and publication facilities.
An estimated three billion dollars
must be spent by government and
industry for new equipment to avert
a "drouth" of unpolluted water, he
declares.
"On many important rivers and
streams water becomes polluted rel
atively high upstream and is used
and reused so frequently that pres
ent limited publication facilities
cannot cope with the task" DeMott
says.
U. S. industry drinks" approx
mately 81 billion gallons of this
basic element a day-equivalent to
twice the flow of the Hudson river.
Paper manufacturers consume
the greatest volume of water, De-
Mott explains, accounting for three
billion gallons a day. Other large
users include oil refineries, chemi-
cal plants and food professors.
Continuing demands for larger
pumps and other equipment that
will increase pump capacity, indi-
cate that industry is seriously con-
cerned about additional water sup
plies for the immediate FUTURE"
DeMott says.

LangdOn Of Glendive
Buys Board Of Trade
Cafe, Bar From Biffle

R. P. "Reggie" Langdon of Glen
dive and vicinity where he has been
engaged in ranching and railroad
ing for a number of years became
the owner of the Board of Trade
cafe and bar in a transaction that
was completed last week with Ches-
ter A. Biffle, the former operator.
A welcoming party for the new
owner was held Sunday evening at
the place of business.
Langdon's father was one of the
first settlers in Dickinson, N. D.,
and the son has spent most of his
life in eastern Montana and western
North Dakota.
Biffle, who sold to Langdon
though retaining ownership to the
buildings, has lived in Montana most
of his life and has spent seven
years in Laurel exclusive of time
in the army. His family were Mon
tana old-timers. At the present he
is on a pheasant hunting trip in
North Dakota. He has been active
in development of local sports.
The Board of Trade closed its
doors Sunday evening while enter
about so guests who had
been invited to become acquainted
the new owner. Employees and
of other cafes and bars in
Laurel and vicinity were among the
who were served a buffet
style dinner at 9 o'clock.
