Boats are Sailing" in the liv-
ing room of Mrs. Carl Thompson
on Hamilton Street.
Yesterday when calling on Mrs
Thompson, she smilingly said as
l entered, That in the middle
of the living room rug is some
thing Carl Jr. made last night
and informed me I should just
sweep around it and leave
it there. On the floor was a per
feet model of ship with full sail
made of tooth picks. 1t would
have done credit to any person.
Carl Jr. made it like one
he sailed at camp this summer, y
added Mrs. Thompson.
One littleknows of all the small
tragedies that occur. To each of
us they seem great when they
happen. Such tragedy occurred
last week at the Carl Thompsons
when Betty LOUIS little puppy
SALTY, was killed in front of
their home by a passing car.
SALTY" was stray pup Betty
LOUIS brothers. Carl Jr. and
David, picked up at camp this
summer. The brothers knew of
Betty LOUIS great love for ami
mails. (She has been known to
be late for school many times
by pettlng stray animals along
the way)
Betty Lou adored SALTY" and
tucked him in bed every night
in her doll carriage. All her
dolls and toys were ignored for
him.
She fed him bacon for break
fast and ham for supper from
her mothers cupboard. When her
father was too busy to build a
fence to keep Salty in, her
brother, Carl, Jr., ordered the
blocks and set himself the task
of building one himself.
Though SALTY" was small,
Carl, Jr., could not get the fence
high enough to keep him from
jumping over, so Betty Lou fas-
tened him up on the back porch,
She cautioned everyone in the
house to be careful about OPEN
ing the doors so as to keep
Salty inside.
On this particular day Betty
Lou had returned from school at
noon. David, her younger broth
er, and she both called to SALTY"
but the little puppy only heard
his mistress voice, much to her
delight.
After lunch Betty Lou had re-
turned to school with Salty safe
ly closed in on the porch. She
had not been gone long when
someone phoned Mrs. Thompson
that the puppy was lying in the
street in front of her home. dead.
At least what was left of him. He
had been struck twice by pass
ing cars. Salty" had been on his

way to the Lions Carnival across
the street.
The family was cautioned not
to tell Betty Lou so everyone
knows where Salty" is but
Betty Lou. She goes around the
house calling him. She has phon-
calling him. She has phoned
ed her grandmother and others
around trying to locate him.
Mrs. Thompson says it is al
heartbreaking and that she does
not expect to get attached to
another animal herself. T h e
family will try to get another
pet for Betty Lou before she is
told that Salty" has gone away.

have shown definite talent for or
ganization. Their army and their
underground are led by men with
wide combat experience. They seem
to be we'll supplied with weapons,
and they are schooled in guerilla
tactics. So they have held their
own.
Just how conflicting U. S. and
British policy in Palestine can be
reconciled, and how peace may
be secured, is the great question.
The crystal ball is clouded now.
But everyone is agreed that it
must be done if the world is to
have the vital Middle Eastern oil,
and the Western powers plans for
world rehabilitation are to go
through.

What is the outlook for business
activity, prices, wages, etc., for
the next year or so?
The economists seem to be in
reasonable agreement. There is no
foreseeable decline in industrial
production in general. No one is
talking about depressions, except
as very long range possibility.
Employment, consequently, will re-
main high.
More wage increases are on the
way-General Motors recent agree
ment with the auto workers prob
ably indicates the pattern.
1t is expected that there will be
some rise in commodity prices,
perhaps averaging three or four
per cent by the end Of the year.
Some prices will naturally go up
more than others. The new Ford
cars, as an example, cost about 3
per cent more than the previous
models. Only moderate increases
in food prices are forecast.
The influence of the prepared
ness program, which will cost
about $4,000, 100000 during the
next fiscal year, is being watched
closely. This, coming on top of the
European Aid Program, will place
another heavy burden on basic in
dustries. That drain may be Sc
we're in the case of materials now
in short supply. From the con
ksumer's point of view, it will be
marked by a smaller production Of
automobiles and similar goods thar
would be the case otherwise.
There is a possibility that thu
tax cut give nincome taxpayers this
wear may not be continued in th'
next. It all depends on the rela
: tionship between Federal income
and outgo. Neither party, in al
election year, seems willing to d
> much more than talk about gov
: ernment economy.

City Gets A

Of DDT. And as a result, says Ma
rine Col. Lamson Scribner, 1t is
the cleanest city in north China. As
for flies and mosquitoes, it can be
compared favorably with any Am
erican city.
The spraying, by a specially
equipped Naval transport plane,
was considered necessary because
of the long devastating effects Of
war and the influx of destitute re-
fugees to Tsingtao.
Since early April, this navy blue
craft roars over the city every
Monday morning, only about 100
feet above the ground. Residents
long since have become accustomed
to its long wake of white cloud.

Even the interminable debate
over U. S.-U. S. S. r. relations
hasn't been able to obscure the
Palestine problem. The once-quiet
Holy Land, which used to seem al
most as remote as another planet
to most Americans, is now at the
core Of the worlds difficulties. The
warfare which is going on there is
not a localized contest between the
Jews and the Arabs. 1t has an
ominously direct bearing on the
prospects for world peace, and for
world economic rehabilitation.
The most startling development
in the Palestine crisis was Presi-
dent Truman's recognition of the
new Jewish state, Israel Israel is
tiny and poor country, and its
population is under a million. 1t
cannot sustain itself. Mr. Tru-
mans recognition was given with
almost unprecedented suddenness-
IsraePs government was not even
completely organized. There are
grounds for believing that he act
ed against the advice of some top
State Department officials. And one
result Of that action was to create
the first serious cleavage between
us and England.
Britain, once more or less neu-
! tral when it came to Jew-Arab diff
4 4ferences, has been supporting the
Arabs for considerable time. She
has supplied the Arabian states
with arms and other supplies, and
her position is unequivocal. 1t is
now common knowledge that OuI
recognition of Israel, which, in ef-
feet, aligned us against England
caused shock followed by rage in
! Britain's Foreign Office. On the
other hand, it seemed to please the
/ Soviet Union, which is now stand

Employers Charge Longshoremen With soWdoWns

SEATTLE, - (P) -Purported "slowdowns" by CIO longshore- men in the loading of Alaska ships were protested yesterday by the Waterfront Employers of Wash } ington in a dispatch to Alaska's Gov. Ernest Gruening.
 Merle G. Ringenberg, VIEWS president, told the governor that between June A and July 3, the longshoremen conducted 13 sep arate outstanding slowdowns on 10 ships in the Alaskan trade" He said they ranged from 19 to 93 per cent, and averaged Al per cent.
 Ringenberg made public copies of detailed accounts of the alleged slowdowns. He said they would be mailed to Gruening and also to the US. Attorney Generals office.
 Employer charges of slowdowns have been denied repeatedly by the longshoremen, who are under an 80-day federal court injunc- ton against any strike.
 Union leaders here were not immediately available for com ment.

Forest Service Calls For Bids On Pulp Timber
By Vern Haugland

CAP Special Washington Service)
 WASHINGTON, - (P) - The Forest Service has called for bids on eight billion board feet of pulp. timber near Ketchikan, AL aSka.
 It is the agency's second attempt to establish pulp paper indus try in the territory.
 The same timber was offered for sale last year, as was like area to the north near Thomas Bay and Petersberg, Alaska.
 Prospective bidders said they had insufficient time to prepare the initial offering last October.
 This time the Forest Service expects to get results. The Ket- chikan unit was readvertised for sale lat the request of interested parties," the agency said.
 The prospectus has been revised slightly.
 The proposed 50-year contract will expire in the year POOP, in- stead of June 30, 200O, as. spe- cified last year.
 And a provision has been writ ten in giving assurance-but no guarantee-that additional timber will be available on reasonable terms after the 50 years are up.
 Prospective bidders must sub init their qualifications, as evid- ence of financial ability to tackle the job, on or before July 19.
 Oral bids will be received and sealed bids will be opened from qualified bidders here Aug. 2, (2:OO pm. ESD
