Sunday afternoon from o weekend
visit to her mother in SmithfeId,
took to her bed determined to stay
there until she got rid of bad
cough she had had for several days.
DR.. Fred Patterson, called to give
treatment for the cough, found she
had virus pneumonia,
He prescribed aureomycin, q re-
cent sensational discovery in medical
science. This drug doesn't have to be
injected like many other modern anti
bacterial drugs. In the form Of a
powder, named aureomycin because
of its gold color, it is put into cap
sules to be swallowed by the patient.
Mrs. Pugh took the capsules at
intervals as directed by the doctor.
By Monday morning she showed
great improvement and she is getting
well along toward recovery.
The July issue Of the Readers Di-

LOTTERY ITEMS AND P. 0.

The Cordova Times weekly of last Friday has been denied the United States mail because it carried an advertisement concerning bingo game In Alaska there are other newspapers doing the same thing The Empire carries reference to bingo games neither on any chance games, because it is against the Post Office regulations and The Empire would be out of the mails for the edition in which insertions of the kind appeared This was brought home during the last Nenana ice classic when newspapers were not permitted to publish all details.
 . Y In the last issue of the Publishers Auxiliary, the most thoroughly read newspaper publication in this country under the heading Revise or Enforce Rules Restraining Lottery Items the following editorial appeared:

OKINAWA LOSSES

At one time during the battle of Okinawa, virtually all of the Ma vy's carriers were either enroute back to the U. S. for repairs or enroute to battle after being re- paired The shipyards at Pear Harbor were full. The west coast yards were at capacity, and the east coast yards had to handle the cverflow-despite the extra time necessary to carry the limping yes sels through the Panama Canal
 Thus one Jap suicide plane could put a carrier out Of commission for four to six months.
 The British, foreseeing this equipped their carriers with arm ored decks. Toward the end of the war. new American carriers were also built with armored decks. But

 But. not knowing this, the Jap Admiral turned and fled.
 Had all parts of the American Navy been operating under one command at the battle of Leyte, Halsey would not have gone steam ing off after a Japanese feinting force.
 Undoubtedly it was this incident that caused Halsey to tell the Richardson Board in the late sum- mer of 1945 that he favored Army Navy unification.

BATTLE OF LEYTE BLUNDER


 It was the battle of Leyte, where carriers also played an important part, which convinced many Navy men that unification was neces- sary.
 The command in the battle of Leyte was divided as follows. Gen. eral Macarthur commanded not only the Army but the western fleet under Adm. Tom Kincaid. It was Kincaid's job to protect the landing of MacArthur's troops. The rest of the fleet was under Admiral Nimitz who had delegated the im- mediate command to Admiral Hal sey.
 Halsey was supposed to keep Kincaid advised at all times of his movements, but not take orders from him. During the course of the battle, Halsey advised Admiral Kin caid that squadron of Jap ves- sells were coming toward the Phil | ippineS from the north, and at x-time he would break away from the major battle and give chase When the appropriate time ar rived, Admiral Halsey picked ur his fleet telephone and told his commanders that X-time had ar rived and to carry out their orders previously received. His part ol the fleet thereupon sailed off to the north. The battleships wen' with him
 However, Halsey's fleet telephone did not have the range to reach a part of his fleet. This part, consist ing of smaller vessels, remained along the Philippine coast virtually unprotected.
 It was suspected few days later that the Japanese attack from the north was actually a feint in order to draw Haisey away from tht major part of the battle of Leyte and afterward, information captur. ed from Japanese admirals sub stantiated this suspicion.

Furthermore the feint almost suc- ceeded in seriously impeding the course of the war. For, the next night, a Japanese squadron, steam ing at top speed. caught the south ern part of Halseys fleet and rid dled the smaller ships. The range was so close that shells went through both sides of the vessels
 What the Jap commanders did not know was that the heavier American ships had exhausted their ammunition the night before and were powerless to fire back. Had he known this, and stayed to mop up on the practically de.

Bethlehem was a weak spot In the steel industry not only because it.. already had non-contribut4ry pension system for the workefS, but also because of very genetal criticism of it's pension, bonuses, and stock purchase plans for of ficers of management. This is an other matter that plaques industry. When management takes for itself what are generally regarded as
 out of line compensations, the workers will complain, as the stock holders should, and often do, in the courts in what are generally called strike suits.' A "sirike suit" is one Tn which a minority stockholder, having discovered an impropriety or even an error of I judgment on the part of manage ment, goes into court to benefit i by it. No company suffers from a strike suit" whose management 1 does not place itself in a vulner-
 able position. Often such suits are blackmail and the companies set
 tie out of court. S4E The contest Between Phil Mur- ray and the steel industry has not ;been settled;% at best it has been i postponed. It may be possible to
 absorb his current demand; it will
 not be possible to continue to ab- sorb his demands in constantly lrising prices. When consumer re-
 sistance has hit steel, as it has
 already hit automobiles, the entire industrial structure of the country
 will suffer.

it took a long time for the Navy to wake up to it's mistake.
 Experience in the Pacific proved that carriers were at their peak effectiveness in making surprise raids on the enemy. If carriers had to stay in one place, as at Oklna- wa, they suffered unmercifiully. But if they could sneak up on the Japanese mainland under cover of night, make their attack at dawn. and then retreat, their losses were much less.

NAVAL CARRIERS HERoIsM

The full story of the Nays airplane carriers was one of the most heroic of the war, and the heroism was even greater because of a serious defect discovered in the carriers after the Navy had built most of them.
 This defect-like most of the Navy's trouble-was due to faulty engineering and bad planning Airplane- carrier designers had fail ed to take into consideration the possibility that decks were vulner- able and that once the deck of a carrier was torn up. no plane could take off.
 The Japs, however, soon discover ed this. The result was that suicide Jap fighter planes dived for the deck of carrier after carrier witt deadly casualties. Entirely asid' from the tragic loss of life, so many carriers were put out of commis' sion that they had to be sent al the way through the Panama Can al to the Atlantic Coast for re pairs The west coast yards wer too full.

i, strike becaus all he is asking for is what John L. Lewis actually got (through MT. Julius A. Krug. Now Secretary of the Interior, who was then operating seized coal mines)
 Therefore if steel management is really and truly anti-Commu- hist, it ought to accede to Phil Murray's demands. Then he could prove that he is as good as John IL. Lewis. It would strengthen the anti Communist forces ill the CIO.' It is an attractive argument for those who do not realize that the Communist strength in the CIO is as much due to Phil Murray as
 to John l.. Lewis and that Mur- ray has had ample opportunity to
 get them out long ago. He delayed
 until his own position became em-
 barrassed by their presence. ss

Many steel companies, perhaps most of the leading ones, have some kind of pension system. Most of them are better than six cents an hour. I know one company in which the pension amounts to l9 cents an hour, six contributed by the worker; 13 by the company.
 Actually, two serious principles are involved in the general propo- sition and even if settlement with all companies is reached, the funda- mentals remain the same:
 1. The non-contributory system is unsound because the worker himself is not psychologically con- ditioned to protect the pension funds. That is why John L. Lew iss pension system is now in vir- tual bankruptcy. It is a non-con' tributory system and was readily dissipated. The fund is now in the courts for an accounting. When UIle WOIktI OWll iliOiiCy 10 PaiO OA the pension fund when he contrib utes share every day that he works, he seeks to protect his own money. In this situation, he is led to believe that he receives bounty from the union.
 g. It has been shown that John L. Lewis did not work on any actuaral basis. First he demanded 10 cents; now 20 cents; and before you know it, he will be demanding the impossible. Next year, Phil Murray will double any arrange ments he now makes. The third year, he will double that. If the worker is paying his share into the fund, he will not permit his leaders to use it to create an in dustrial crisis. To the worker, the use of a fiduciary fund for ppliti- cal purposes, even for getting better pay or working conditions, imperils his interest. He will want to protect his own money and his own interests.

NEW YORK, July 2.-Seven-

clothes greeted the Polish liner
Batory when it docked here today
with 681 passengers from Gdynia,
Copenhagen and Southampton.
The Batory was the ship used
by Communist Gerhard Eisler to
flee this country as stowaway
while awaiting an appeal on his
conviction of contempt of Con-
gress and passport fraud.
When the Batory last came
here, armed, uniformed immigra-
tion officers from the Canadian
border swarmed over the pier.
Today they permitted visitors
to enter the pier but they kept
close watch on persons leaving the
liner. Officials said that they
were on hand to see that no un-
authorized person boarded or left

NLRB Backs DISCHARGE
.0f Foremen in Strike
By the Assoeioted Press

| Carnegie Illinois Steel Co. did
not violate the law in discharging
SO foremen who refused to do
maintenance work during the 194C
steel strike, the National Labor
Relations Board ruled yesterday.
BY 80 majority, the board
declared the discharges were legal
on grounds the ioremen had COM
mitted such a serious breach of
their duty as to remove them
from protection of the Wagner
Act.
Most of the discharges took
place in March, 1916, before the
Taft Hartley law was passed. The
foremen, employed at the COM
pany's large Gary, Ind. steel
works, were members of the Fore
mems Association of America.
The strike was conducted by the
CIO United Steelworkers of Amer
lea. The Foremen's Association
urged its members to refuse to
take over the jobs of striking
rank-and-file workers, but to con-
tinue the normal duties of fore
men. The company tried to keep
the foremen in the plant after it
was unable to agree with the
steelworkers union on what work
ers should be included in skele-
ton maintenance force.
The boards majority opinion
which reversed the recommended
ton of an NLRH trial examiner
who heard the case-said testi-
mony indicated that complete
abandonment of the plant by all
workers might have caused dam
age to furnaces costing $70,000,000
to repair.

fusal to work 10 cases in which
employees are refused reinstate-
ment because they had engaged
in "willful or negligent damage"

Silver Worth S3,900,000
Reported Sent 10 China
BY the Associated Press

SAN FRANCISCO, July 2.-Se-
cret consignment of silver worth
$3,90O,000 to China was reported
today by the Call-Bulletin.
The newspaper said 100000
worth is Mexican silver and the
remainder is reported to be from
American sources. It is going to
an unnamed recipient in Hong
Kong.
1t was reported, the newspaper
added, that the silver is to be used
to pay Nationalist government
troops.
The newspaper said it learned
that the Bank Of America was
acting as agent here for the con-
signment and the American Ex-
press Co. is handling shipment.
Just what the Hong Kong re-
cipient is exchanging for the silver
was not known, the Call Bulletin
said.
