The First Sign of - What?

Comes now some news which may be the
first sign of - what? Washington, D. c.
economists and researchers say that folks are
not paying their bills as promptly as in the
last four years. More people are defaulting
on new cars and expensive appliances. There
are more repossessions. lnflationary prices
which have now put a vicious squeeze on pay
checks get the blame for this situation.
Here's a note of cheer: Working people,
especially members of unions. are still the
best pay and have the best credit. That has
always been the case, by the way. Working
people spend their money. pay their bills.
They are the heart of our American economic
system.

Sister Kenny Challenges Doctors

Years ago, Sister Elizabeth Kenny, an
Australian nurse, came to this country and
began winning fame through her system of
treating polio a disease which strikes chill
dren and makes their mothers and fathers
hearts turn cold with fear.
Amazing cures by Sister Kenny have been
reported, but many doctors still are skeptical
and critical. Recently, at a new Kenny
Institute" opened in Jersey City, she chal-
lenged them to appoint a board of physicians
to make a conclusive investigation of her
methods and the results.
We are not medical authorities, and are
in no position to judge the merits of this dis
pute. We do think the doctors should &C.
cept Sister Kenny's proposal.
Otherwise, they will put themselves in a
position of blind and willful opposition to a
cure for a dread affliction, merely because
the secret was discovered by someone without
an MD" degree.
Something new in defense: A man ar
rested for stealing an auto said he found it
standing outside a cemetery and thought the
owner was dead.
The proper song to sing at IS miles an
hour is: Lord, Pm Coming Home.
Housing prices are 1907 over prewar
levels.
Montana labor news., 1948-04-01

There was a time when Senator Hatch,
of New Mexico. had the solid backing of Or
ganized Labor. Now, at the end of 10 years
in the senate, he is going to retire. No doubt
the thought of running again, with Labor
fighting against him, had something to do
with his decision. Labor's change toward
Hatch is due to his anti-union activity in
recent years. He Joined with Minnesota's
Ball in framing a bad law, and then he voted
for the Taft-Hartley act. Wonder how many
other members of both houses are also think
ing of retiring?

An Editorial On Push

IT'S PUSH, PUSH, PUSH. That's the
secret of action, of getting things done.
Sometimes the officers of your local
and your International-get mighty tired of
the job Of pushing, pushing, pushing. They'd
like to see more push" from the members,
too.
In the South Sea Islands. we understand,
nobody pushes. They just sit under the trees
and wait for the bananas to fall in their laps.
When they get tired of that, they go swim in
the coral sea, or sleep under the thatch.
Sometimes we'd like to try some of that
ourselves. 1t must be nice.
But we wouldn't like it for a steady diet.
America was built by pushing. Men pushed
across the ocean to get here. They pushed
across frontiers to develop our magnificent
country.
And we're still pushing to make this a
better country. When we get tired of push
ing, America will be done for.

Archbishop Opens
Lambeth Conference
BY the Associotsd Prem

CANTERBURY, England, July
1.-The Archbishop of Canterbury.
DR.. Geoffrey Fisher. formally opened
the eighth Lambeth Conference Of
Churchmen today. He called for
"all Christian people to work for
unity and fellowship" in God.
The archbishop noted progress in
the work of recreating visible unity
of the Church of Christ" He said
the drawing together had been
helped by the pressure of forces
hostile to the Christian faith"
Lambeth conferences-so named
after Lambeth Palace, London home
of the Archbishop of Canterbury
were held each 10 years between
1870 and 1880 to consider whether
church doctrine needed modifica-
tions in the light of world affairs
and trends. The war prevented a
meeting in 1910.
Present are $50 bishops, among
them rs from the Protestant Epis-
copal church of the United States,
Angelicans from many parts of the
world, Lutherans from Scandinavian
countries, Greek Orthodox church.

MIFFED-Oficials of Govern
men employees unions are seething
because the White House has not
invited them to the ceremony when
the President signs the permanent
s330-a-year permanent pay raise
bill.
Mr.. Truman is expected to sign
the bill some time within the next
three days. And up to now he has
not invited Federal union officials
to witness the signing, although
urgent telephone calls have been
made.
AS far back as any one can re-
member, Government union officials
have been invited to the White
House whenever the President
signed a Federal pay bill into law.
There usually is pen-signing cere-
mony, whereby each union leader
is given one of the dozen or so
pens used as a token of their Or
ganization's efforts on behalf Of the
measure.
Union officials like these cere-
monies because they can use the
pictures of the event in their various
union publications for the rank
and-file members to see.
Reports have it that Mr.. Tru-
man does not want any ceremony
over the signing of the bill because
he thinks it is an inadequate meas
ure. But the union people are
tickled to death that they were able
to get any sort of pay bill ap-
proved by Congress. Mr.. Truman
wasn't any help in this regard either.
He officially was on record as op-
posed to any pay boost at all.

sc A T incidentally. only
about $50 additional jobs will open
up at selective service national
headquarters here as a result of the

lister the draft.
The $50 positions here will be
mostly of the clerical and steno-

cotton fields surrounding this
Southeastern Mississippi farm town

bran and saWdust strewn in the

Bill Doris, farmer whose fields
are among those being devastated,
says effectiveness of the counter
attack will be known within Sc

A Memphis firm offered to spray
the grasshoppers from the air with
an insecticide at a cost of $500 an
acre.
Few Bassfeld farmers would pay
that price even if it saved their
crops Mr.. Doris said. But we've
got to stop them. The small farmers
will be ruined unless we do"
Several new outbreaks were re-
ported yesterday within a seven
mile radius of Bassfield. The poison

been laid waste so far but there has

WAR ASSETS-War Assets Ad-
ministration officials fatty deny re-
ports that the agency plans mass
layoffs during the next few months
One report had it that 5000 WAA
employees would be dismissed by the
end of the month.
Here is the true picture: WAA
plans to dismiss $500 of its $4,000
workers by September 80 OF this
number, about $50 of them will be
employees in the agency's Washing,
ton office.
This will leave 1,700 WAA en-
ployes here and their tenure, as
we'll as that of the rest of the
agencys workers, will depend on
how quickly WAA can dispose OF
the $4,000, ,000, 900 in surplus prop
erty the agency still has on hand.
1t probably will take quite a while,
since the remaining goods are no
longer the cream of the crop, and
a more difficult selling job is in
volved.
At any rate, WAA officials say
there is absolutely no basis" to re-
ports that its Washington staff will
be down to 500 employees by next
February %, when WAA's functions
and personnel will be absorbed by
the Treasury and Air Force De-
partments and the Reconstruction
Finance Corp. And they say the
same holds true for the rate of its
