Parks reported that wages are
pitifully low. As a comparison
he stated that a policeman in
Dublin earns $88 per month.
He described many difficulties
in crossing the border from south
to north Ireland, the Free State.
Schools in Ireland, he said,
were backward. Schools are OPP
Grated by the churches at pub
lie expense. AS a result there
are several schools where there
should be one for efficiency. A
few private schools offer excel
lent training but are attended on
ly by the children Of wealthy
families.
"What is the American atti-
tude toward Russian" That, Parks
said, was the question most ask
ed of him.
Briefly he described the war
destruction in London but urged
that tourists visiting the Isles
should see Edinburgh, one Of the
worlds most beautiful cities.
Throughout his talk, Parks EVIL
denced the Scotch side Of his
ancestry in quoting>in detail the
costs of foods, travel fare and
hotel rates.
He thoroughly charmed his

The Sidewalk
REP o R TER
SoUAWK CLUB
by The
KENNEWICK COURIER

members OF the Amalgamated
Groaners association had a hard
time getting together this week.
In spite of previous announce
ments most of the old time die
hard members gathered at the
old quarters where the basement
meeting room was half filled
with water. No formal session
was held. The members detected
ly carried on a street meeting
that turned into more of an ad-
mlration4 society than a COM
planning club. So far from the
precepts of the organization did
they get that they were even Of
fering some kind words of
praise for many groups and indi-
viduals who have done terrific
job of helping to alleviate distress
caused by the flood waters.
BLow-uP
Cal Phillips, Okanogan editor,
was placed in charge of coordin-
ating flood activities in that
flood swept city. He reported that
one Of his toughest jobs was
keeping people from blowing
things up. He said numbers OF
people were jumping up and
down demanding that the old
bridge should be blown up be-
fore it was washed away where
it might cause great damage.
With the help of an old powder
monkey he was able to convince
most of them that an attempt to
demolish the bridge would prob
ably only result In tipping it on
its side and causing greater dam
age than would be the case il il
washed out. To make doubly sure
he rounded up all the dynamite
in the area and stashed it away.
APPRECIATION
It will be an almost impossible
Job to give everyone his full cred
it for flood activity. For instance
Dick Rector has put in full time
on double shifts in coordinatine
activities. All Of the utility people
have fought a tough but winning
battle to keep the city supplied
with power. water and telephone
service. Red Cross and National
Guard personnel have worked
untiringly. The Greyhound bus
company managed to maintain a
valuable service in keeping bus
ses running from here to Pasco
The Inter- City bus company has
had a trying time In carrying
passengers on the long haul to
Richland. And the police officers,
health department and numerous
individuals have contributed to
maintain order and furnish help
and information.
CRY
Mayor Pratt and several coun-
cilmen are pushing ahead to Sc
cure the best possible information
on flood losses and to find mon
ey that will be needed for re-
Mobilization. It viii be a big job
to dig out Of this flood as the
waters recede. It win take the
best efforts Of all the agencies
involved working In harmony to
find the answers. Our hat is off
to all of these people.
WELL DONE
A job that was especially well
done was the construction Of the
causeway on Avenue B to the
bridge. Under direction Of the
state highway department equip

BIG CROSS BURNING

Khan history, he said, and he ex-
pected 10000 Klansmen to be there
in their robes.

from all over the country like we
did at Stone Mountain he re-
ported.
Grand Dragon Green produced a
letter from a colored woman ask
ing the Khan to help run another
cclored woman out of town. This
drew big laugh. DR.. Green said

to do anything about that
He added that the Kavalier Klub

ging department-was now on the
job and had plenty of friends on

MHERRY GETS RELIGION

NO one else fought more bitter
ly against government controls
than Wherry. But after few
brushes with the steel industry,
he is ready to change his tune.
The outspoken Nebraskan has
been pleading for increased pro-
duction and more steel for small
business, but all he has got out
of the steel industry has been a
discourteous brush-off. Once, af-
ter taking up his case over the
phone with a top steel executive,
Wherry got so hot under the
collar that he banged down the
receiver.
Backed into a corner, Wherry
called the steel men together be-
fore elections and warned them:
Il am one who wants free
economy. No one has worked hard
er to see that we have a free
economy in this country on vol
untary basis. But we have to have
production now.
And I make this prediction If
you do not get it, you are going
to get something else. And it will
not be distribution under volun-
tary methods. 1t means govern
ment controls"
It will be interesting to see
whether Senator Wherry goes along
with the Democrats in asking that
controls on steel be re-imposed
now that the elections are over

ARROGANT STEEL TYCOONS

With everyone crying for steel,
the tycoons of that industry have
grown SO arrogant they now treat
Uncle Sam like a nagging custo-
mer.
AS long as Congress threatened
mandatory controls over steel, the
steel magnates put on their best
Sunday school manners. They
made patriotic promises to keep
the government supplied with its
basic steel needs. but pleaded al
most on their hands and knees,
to keep it on voluntary basis. AS
a result, Congress passed law
giving the steel industry voluntary
ALLEGATIONS. To implement this,
the leading producers formed an
advisory committee under the
Commerce Department to pass on
ALLEGATIONS for the industry.
Once free of the threat of en-
forced controls, however, the steel
executives got off their knees
climbed on their high horse, and
rode roughshod over government
I officials.
For example, when Acting Secre-
/ tary OF the Interior Girard David
son pleaded with the industry fol-
more steel for oil barges, storage
tanks and pipelines, the tycoons
laughted in his face. They ever
vetoed extra steel for vitality
needed pipeline to the atomic EN-
