II Tin
Teeth

Do you have any freshly-ex-
tracted teeth? If you do, the
Army wants them-for use in
studies of dental decay and to test
a couple of anti-decay solutions.
The Army wants molar teeth that
are newly extracted and which
have been pulled for reasons other
than decay. The dental division
will furnish self-addressed franked
containers, made of metal, on re-
quest.

 We may disbeeve any all of the reports which concern Communist spy ring operations But the re- suits speak for themselves. The Kremlin seems without frends-and nformants-in the places where it needs them. The Army report on the spy ring which operated effectively in Japan and some of the implications are frightening" We agree witt. that Remember the furore created by that book "It Can Happen Here?"

ANOTHER ILLUSTRATION?

To those who were only amused by the stir created by pumpkins filled with mcrofiln during the recent Communist spy ring inquiry in Washington we com- mend thorough reading of the U s. Army's report on the Soviet spy organizations in Japan and China As released by Gen. Douglas MacArthurs intelligence staff, the report asserts that 20-member spy ring operating in Japan prior to the war was incredibly successful in keeping Russia advised of Axis plans and intentions
 The report says that the activity of this group, all but of whom were described as working flor the love of the cause" cost the Russians less than a thousand dollars month. If the report is true-and it seems well detailed and documentedthis spy ring was an avenue of information to Moscow on German plans for attacking Russia in June of 1941 and of Japanese plans for conquest of the Southwest Pacific
 Protestatons of innocence are echoing from sev- eral of those named in the report so again we

 That is behind feverish plans to fortify Iran, also behind U. s. Am bassador John Wiley's frantic cables from Teheran. He seems con- vinced that the Russians will move there next.
 That is also why Iranian pilots have been trained with the U. S.. Army in Germany, why 50 U. S.

MANY ILL VETERANS VISITED IN } MONTHS BY VFW COMMITTEE

Even the most enticing spring weather will not interrupt one oi the posts most important activities say members of Taku Post, Veterans of Foreign Wars.
 They refer to the weekly calls on hospitalized veterans-a service for which those visited have expressed heartfelt appreciation.
 For more than three months now Harold Fennel and William c. Jack son, sometimes by themselves, and sometimes accompanied by other post members, have appeared at St Ann,s hospital promptly on the stroke of 3 o'clock every Sunday af- terncon.
 They go armed with cigarettes candy and "a cheery word for all the vets,' regardless, of course, of any other consideration.
 Besides these more obvious at tentions, the VFW committee mem- bers undertake, at veterans re- quest, such matters as sending mes sages to family members and in- vestigating pension and other mat ters. They found one veteran who was not receiving pension, but deserving of one, and started the hall rolling so he will be getting it soon.
 The work has grown in interest end in results since December 1 when, at a VFW meeting, Jackson and Fennel brought up the need of relief for veterans in the hospital
 They were made committee o1 two to get the service under way Since then, other organizations have established similar schedules of wis iting the sick.
 These are among the many hos pitalized veterans visited George Stevens, Herbert Hakla, Ray Ellen Blair Steele, David Appland, Law renee Higgins, Ernest H. Page, John P. Carroll, James B.

NARROWLY ESCAPED
 EXpJGSICN

Nevertheless, Blanton escaped be- ing expelled from Congress by only an eight-vote margin. A total of 293 Ccngressmen voted ro expel | him.
 Among those in Congress at i the time were such close friends of President Truman as James F. Byrnes, later Truman's Secretary fl State; Tom Connally or Texas, now Chairman of the Senate For eign Relations Committee; Speak CT Sam Rayburn, and Vice Presi- dent Barkley.
 All the above voted to explLrge Blanton's S. o. b. abbreviation from the record and none of the above opposed the resolution of cenSure, though they did not vote to expel.
 The attack against Blanton was led by the late Rep. Frank Mon- dell of Wyoming and Nicholas Longworth, later Speaker of the House, also now deceased. Mondell, urging that Blanton be expelled, said: Anyone uttering in public anywhere the words placed in the Congressional Record by the merl- Der from Texas should be subject to fine and imprisonment While we cannot repeat the words which form the basis of this charge, it can be said that they are unspeakahly foul, vile, filthy, profane, blasphe- nous, and obscene"
 After the resolution of censure was voted, Blanton was called be- fore the Speakers rostrum, where Speaker Fred Gillett stated:
 T have been directed to censure ycu because, when you had been al- lowed by the courtesy of the House to print a speech, you inserted in it foul and obscene matter <. And that disgusting matter was transmitted as part of the proceed ings of the House to thousands of homes and libraries throughout the country to be read by men and women, and, worst of all by chil- dren. In accordance with the in- structions of the House and it's rep resentatives, I pronounce upon you its censure.
 As Blanton left the floor of the House he collapsed in the corridor, struck his head on the marble floor and had to be assisted to his office.

HOUSE REBUKED "S. o. E."
 USER

The Vice President of the United States isn't advertising it, but he once participated in severe vote of censure of a Congressman who used the same S. 0. b. initials re- gently used by the President of the United States.
 The vote of censure was taken against Rep. Thomas L. Blanton, Democrat of Texas. Passed unani- nously by the House of Representa- tives when Alben Barkley was a member, the resolution stated:
 WHEREAS the said Thomas L. Brantcn inserted in the Con- gress.onal Record, a letter which was indecent, obscene, vulgar and vile;
 WHEREAS the said Thomas L. Blanton :. has offered an indig- nity to the House and to the people represented hy the membership Of Congress for which he deserves the severest rebuke and drastic cen sure, therefore be it
 RESOLVED that the Speaker of the House is hereby directed to summon him to the bar of the House and deliver to him it's repri- mand and censure."
 The obscene matter which Blan- tcn inserted in the Record on Oct. g, 1921, was a letter writted by Willard French. an employee in the Government Printing Office, addressed to George H. Carter, Public Printer. The letter contain ed the abbreviation sob.

Social Security
Washington Post)

The Administrations social security program is tripartite: CD extension and liberalization of old age insurance CD disability insurance, and (3 liberal ized system of Federal grants to supplement State outlavs for the needy The important thing to re- member is that the welfare and insuranse bills de- signed to carry out the Administrations proposals intimately related Further increases in the size of Federal aid contributions and of Federal funds for general assistance purposes be defended much more effectively the Federal odage insurance sys- tenn is at the same time extended to cover millions of uninsured workers and if insurance benefits are increased to reasonable levels For given an adequate system of social insurance covering most employed workers the great majority of the people will be protected by their insurance benefits from becoming public charges Comprehensive insurance coverage would reduce permanently and progressively the finan- cial burdens of caring for the needy And the Fed eral Government could result gradually withdraw from the field and let the States full financial responsibility for t.ie care of the needy.
