JOE MATHIS0M HOME
 BURNS AT AUX BAY

The two story home and garage of MT. and Mrs. Joe Mathison at Aux Bay burned to the ground last night in just few minutes Mathison said it is believed it was caused by a backfire from the furnace in the basement, and with in five minutes the house was filled with smoke and ablaze.
 The fire started about o'clock. Mrs. Mathison had gone to the store and Mathison was in the garage when the fire broke out. He entered an upstairs window in an attempt to save some of their belongings, but was able to get only one pair of slacks and two dresses.
 Mathison sustained an injured foot when he was forced to jump from the roof, and is on crutches today. It is believed, however, that the injury is not serious.
 Mathison stated that neighbors and friends worked swiftly to save the Tom McCaul home, next door. which escaped damage. He also said that several trees and under brush caught fire, but no damage was done. Oil drums were rolled to safety. The house and furni- ture were partly insured.
 Mathison is a former employee of the Thomas Hardware. He and Mrs. Mathison are temporarily at the home of MT and Mrs. Bill Geddes, parents of Mrs. Mathison, on Fritz Cove.
 The U. s. Forest Service sent a crew and pumping equipment to the scene to protect nearby forests. The crew consisted of Gen Hulk, Forrest Fennessey, Jack Mills and Harry Worobec.

In it Harry Truman admitted
that there are in the U. S. Ella

which are utterly contrary TO our
ideals"
ONE that he singled out for
criticism: discrimination in
the armed forces"
Said Truman:

discrimination in the armed

les of the Truman administration,
who pointed to the Democratic

ises were merely a demagogic bid
for the Negro vote in November,
they claimed.
THIS week Royal fluffed his
lines-and the critics were able to
prove their charges against Tru-

Said Royal: Segregation in
the Army had been established
''in the interest of national de-

I feel that this is still the case"
And so Negroes will continue to

drastic injunction against the Init.
Typographical Union (AFD open
ed here Feb. 8 in federal court,
judge Luther M. Swygert de-
layed a decision on the right of
eight labor and publishers groups
to intervene in the suit.
U. S. District Judge Luther M.
Swygert has also taken under
advisement a motion of the ITU
TO dismiss the governments in
junction suit against the union.
Petitions to intervene had been

argued against the interventions
on the ground that they would
unduly multiply the number of
participants" Thomas F. O'Mara,
counsel for the Chicago ITU local,
argued that his group had legal
right to enter the case because
if the injunction were issued it
would deprive the Chic a o
printers of strike benefits now
being paid by the international
union.
A $4,000 WORD brief submitted
by the NLRB to back its plea for
a sweeping Taft-Hartley law in
junction against the union said:
Enforcement of the Taft-Hartley
act is in imminent danger of COM
plete Illustration if the govern
ment fails to win a temporary
injunction"
The TITUS policy of refusing to
sign Taft-Hartley contracts is
"the germ center of an economic
paralysis which rapidly is extend
ing itself from plant to plant and
by virtue of which closed shops
and other unilaterally imposed
working conditions are in danger
of becoming an accomplished
fact" the brief said.
ITU attorneys did not file an
answer on the merits of the I'M
fair labor practice charges brought
against them by the NLRB, but
instead challenged the constitu-
tionality of Sec. 10-J of the Taft
Hartley act, under which the in
junction is sought.

NGION-Truman'S pro-
gram of compulsory military
training would be a waste of the
taxpayers money, it was stated
this week in the current issue of
Economic Outlook" an organ of
| the CLIO.
The vigorous re-affirmation of
the CLOS opposition to the Ad-
niinistration's program was espe-
cially significant in view of the
recent CLIO Executive Board meet
ing which was reported to have
given "a left-handed endorse
ment" to Truman.
Opposition to UNIT has come
from such diverse groups as the
National Educational Association,
the American Farm Bureau Fed
GRAFTON, the National Grange, the
National Association for the Ad-
Nancement OF Colored People, the
American Veterans Committee.
the American Federation of Labor,
the United christian Youth
Movement, the American Youth
for Democracy, the American As
ISOLATION of University Professors.
the National Congress of Parents
and Teachers, the Association of
American Colleges, the National
Council of Catholic Women, the
Presbyterian Church, the Method
iSt Church General Conference.
the Rabbinical Assembly of Amer
lea, the National intercollegiate
Christian Council.
TO-DAY there is a concerted
drive by the American Legion,
Veterans of Foreign Wars, and the
other veterans organizations, the
army and other military-minded
organizations to have Congress
establish UNIT" the CLIO Outlook
said: "The CIO and other labor
organizations, religious groups
and educational leaders are OPP
posed"
The booklet shows that a
group of 40 nations are spend
ing 1914 billion year on arms,
or $40 billion more than was
spent in 1898. the year before
World War II broke out.
The bulletin says that although
government military authorities
estimate the cost of peacetime
conscription running about $1,75G
million for the first six months,
the true cost would run higher,
between So billion and SIS billion
a year. Such indirect costs as in
creased venereal disease, mental
emotional illness and loss of pro-
duction would have 10 be added
to strictly military outlays, it
says.
EVEN the proposed federal ex-
pediture of $1,750 million for the
first six months of UNIT is greater
than the total yearly expenditure
for college education in the U. S.,
including government contribu-
tons under the CT bill, payments
by students income from college
endowments and all othe
sources"
The bulletin includes a chart
showing estimated government ex-
penses for the current fiscal year,
with 29%o going to national de-
Tense, and 33So paying for past
wars. Only 9.7%6 percent are listed
as peace OUTLAWS, and include the

lion in Greek-TurkiSh aid, S1.168
million in foreign relief and $429
million for other international
affairs items.
