No Compromise
With tn

WASHINGTON (LPA)-One
thing everybody agreed on last
week-eXcept a handful of bi-
partisan trickSters in Congress
= the new Wood bill is no bet
ter than the Taft-Hartiey law it
purports to repeal Not only was
this the verdict of the AFL and
CIO when they attacked the
measure, it was the judgment
too of the NAM and the Cham
Der of Commerce when they rail-
lied to its support. Labor is in
sisting upon passage of the
Thomas-Lesinski bill which re-
peals Taft-Hartley and reenacts
the Wagner Act.

Fear Is Lurking In The

the general public without ad-
mission charge, Mr.. McCombs
stated.
It is expected that the event
will draw far in excess of the
$500 visitors who attended a
previous fair last March. Nine
tons of groceries and a wide
variety of cost-ofliving items
are being displayed and sold at
the spectacular event. Shopping
was brisk Thursday morning,
as housewives and night shift
workers from the Toledo area
came to purchase the many
items being made available to
consumers at actual cost.
Throughout the earlier part
of the week dozens of volunteer
workmen toiled at the large un-
ion hall in preparation for the
. event. The fair is being staged
} In order to acquaint Toledo con-
sumers with the method of nom
profit operation which the CO.
Op will shortly apply in chain
of shopping centers here.
1--WE want to prove to Toledo
consumers that they can assure
themselves highest quality mer-
chandise at low est possible
prices by organizing collectively
as consumers" declared Martha
Gosline Smith, secretary treas
urer OF the Toledo Consumers
Cooperative. I'VE can save
money not just at the fair, but
all year long by owning and OPP
Grating non-profit shopping cen
ters, and we intend to have
chain of them here in Toledo.
This is just sample of what is
going to be done. The idea has
! caught on, and interest is high.
It's about time the housewife
got a break, and the Coop is
the only answer to the cost-of-
living problem Mrs. Smith
stated.
Literature distributed in the
various factories during the
earlier part of the week outlined
detail of the Coop Fair, listing
a few of the items and prices
chosen from random.
Hours of the fair are from
1000 A. M. to 8 P. M. Thurs
day and Friday, and until 800
P. NJ. Saturday, April 80.
Included in the List Of items
being offered to the public are:
The 8 cubic foot Coop cleo
trio refrigerator, at $219.50; Co.
Op electric irons, $7.95; Pop
! up toasters, $15.95; Coop up
right electric vacuum cleaners,
$29.95; Five types of the popular
Neptune outboard motor, rang
ing from the LIS horsepower
model at $49.50 to the los
horsepower Neptune at $16950.
Clocks, pressure cookers, and
other appliances are also on sale
at great savings.
Our fair will tell a dramatic
story that we couldn't explain
to the public in mere words"
Fair Manager McCombs told the
Toledo Union Journal. Chain
store managers are worried
about the Coop, for fear their
holiday is nearing its end. If
eople wonder how we can bring
the prices down, they need only
remember that the Coop takes
lot of fingers out of the pie by
removing unnecessary middle
men and unearned profits, and
that it does away with unneeded
frills and fixtures.
A list of many items featured
in the Coop sale appears else
where in this edition.

MEXICAN LAB0RER HELD FOR MURDER
 OF YOUNG WOMEN

SACRAMENTO, Calf, Jan. 20.- R-Tw.ce 48-year-old Victoriano Corrales returned to his native Mexico and each time he returned here with a girl after filling her head with tales of luxurious liv- ing.
 And twice, said Sheriff's dep- uties, he killed, in the same way for the same reason: Each girl threatened to leave him for a younger man, so he struck her down with hammer and an ax then butchered her body and threw the pieces into river.
 Tcday charge of murder in both deaths was on file against the slight, greying day laborer.
 He isaccused of killing Alberta Gomez and Maria Pulido, both ir their twenties and both from the same town in Mexico, Irapuato. The sheriff's office said he made state- mentS admitting both slayings.

PEACE TALK OF CHINESE K
 H0CUS FOCUS
That Is View of Some For eigners-Deals Reported
 Being Made, However
tBy The Associated Press)

The Chinese governing party, the Kuomintang, threw it's weight to- day behind the Cabinets efforts to make peace with the victory flushed Communists.
 A separate peace deal was on in Peiping for the surrender of that great city and the rest of North China to the Reds. In the field of battle, the masses of Chiang Kai-shek had been beaten about everywhere they had met the Com muniStS. The Nationalist position in North China seemed hopeless.
 The Communists kept silent. So did Chiang. whose approval is need ed unless he is busted or unless he resigns. The Nationalist gov ernment prepared to move at least some ministries from Ranking, which Communist armies approach ed, to Canton.
 Some foreigners viewed the peace talk as some more Chinese politi- cal hocus pocus, to give the govern ment chance to rise from the floor and fight again. It wasn't clear just what they would fight with, however.

COMMENT ON ADDRESS BY PRESIDENT I

WASHINGTON, Jan. 20--lR- Members of Congress seized d on President Truman's proposal for government-g guaranteed U. s. invest ments abroad today as the.r target for widely divergent early comment on the inaugural address.
 At the two extremes Senatcr O. Mahoney (D-Wyo9 saw 1t as a proclamation of economic free dom" and Senator Byrd (D-Va) said it would mot be wise or prac- tical."
 Just about midway between those ideas, Senator Taft tR-Ohio) said MT. Trumans world trade propos- als were very general" and he would have to study them before making any detailed comment But he saw nothing particularly revo- lutionaryv at first glance.
 Representative reaction:
 Senator Magnuson (D-Wash) = "The President gave the United Na- tions one of the best boosts it has had in a long time. In effect, he said: It's going to work-we are going to make it work"
 Senator Morse tR-OreD- The President obviously was tai Ri n g akout the principles of the Atlantic Charter I detected no new con- cept.'

HOUSE PASSES.
 BILL TO LEVY. PROPERTY TAX.
Ten Mill Rate Is Sci with S25OO Exemption on
 Personal Property

The second leg of the basic tax program was whirled through the legislative grist mill in the House of Representatives shortly before 6 o'clock last night despite the protest of Rep. Marcus Jensen against "steamrollering" and his plea for more time for considera- ticn because of the magnitude of this Billr
 The vote on passage of the mea- sure was 21-3 with Reps. Percy Ipalook of the Second Division and Marcus Jensen and Andrew Hope of the First Division casting the opposing votes.
 House Democratic leaders Stan- ley McCutcheon and Warren Tay- Tor cracked the whip to rush the bill through before today's dead line for transmission of measures to the Senate.
 The income tax measure brought the first floor debate in the House during the week in which whole series of tax measures have beer trotted docilely on their way toward the Senate.
 Both Reps. Ipalook and Jenser asked that the House spend more time considering the measure anG pointed out that it's passage might mean hardships for communities where business setbacks are being felt.
 Opposed To Tax
 In answer to a question Jenser said flatly that he is opposed tc the general property tax. He saie he believes other tax measures vii raise all the money needed.
 "The economy of the country as whole can't stand this kind oi tax" Jensen said "The intent has been to get it on the books at any cost instead of determining the best way of raising the requir- ed revenues"
 Jensen contended that the tas will be too costly to collect.
 Rep. Stanley McCutcheon took an opposite view of the revenue raising powers of bills introduced thus far. "If we pass all revenue measures proposed so far plus ont not yet proposed-a tax on cigar ettes-we will still be a million dollars short of the $17,000,000 bud get needs,' McCutcheon declared.
 In Party Platform
 Although Rep. Taylor acknoW. ledged the bill has no chance o. getting through the Senate before the special session ends on Satur day, he urged passage of the mea. sure by the House This Demo. cratic House will have done it duty even if the bill dies in tht Senate" Taylor said.

The W ashinqton Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON

Copyright, l949, by Bell Syndicate, Inc ) WASHINGTON A lot of Wash ingtcn's high-seciety is pretty sore about this inaugural. They're not being invited to the big parties, This includes quite few promin- ent Senators, Congressmen and lobbyists who take lot of pride in being seen at all the right so- cial functions. This time they have been left completely out in the cold.
 This omission wasn't because they were Republicans-a lot of Demo- crats were left out, too. It was because MT. Truman laid down the law that most of the invitations were to be reserved for the folks back home-the little folks who came a long way to see the in- augural.
 That's why the rental clothiers in Washington are swamped right now. You can't rent dress suit for love or money. All the folks from out of town are in town rent

 In fighting inaugural speech, he branded Communism the chief threat to those aims and the breeder of war
 It was the climactic moment of inauguration day for the 64-year- cid, one time Missouri farm boy who, over all odds, had won a White House term in his own right.
 He accepted that term by plac- ing his left hand on Bibles open ed to the Beatitudes and the Ten Commandments, raised his right hand to Gcd and swore to serve the nation faithfully in the uncer- tain years ahead.
 Chief Justice Vinson admins tered the oath. The scene was the east front of the Capitol, bathed in the brilliant sparkle of bright winter sun.

 There, he bowed his head and heard the Rev. c. Leslie Glen pray for him, for the Congress. for social justice, for the family of nations and for those we love"
 St. Johns is the same church where the late Franklin D. Roose- velt used to worship on his inaug- uration days

 He officially began his new term upon taking the oath at 1929 pm, PSF.
