HOWDY FOLKS:
If you snore so loud you wake
yourself up, try sleeping in the
next room.
Snoring is a pleasure-that
is all yours.
TO THE LADIES': You can
cure your husbands snoring by
kindness, patience, and stuffing
an old sock in his mouth.
Some smart guy referred to
snoring as sheet music.
Well, anyhow, a snorer is a
sound sleeper. pretty deep, or is
it?)
With us, snoring seems to
accompany dreams. We must
have been snoring, the other
night for we sure dreamed
an Orful dream. We dreamed
we were out to dinner and
got stuck with the check.
When we were young, some
one said if we bummed a piece
of wedding cake and slept with
it under our pillow, we'd dream
about our future wife. We tried
it and dreamed about the New
York Yankees.
We're not dreaming when we
say we would sure like to
have you as a customer.

 out about wartime atomic deals with the Russians and whether they were influenced by former Vice President Henry A. Wallace and the late Harry Hopkins. close friend and advisor to President Roosevelt.
 On the point of Soviet espiOn- age, Groves sai dthe approach al ways was made through by sub ordinates."
 Groves said the spying efforts he knew about were here in Wash ington and not at Oak Ridge, Tenn, one of the main centers of the big atomic project.
 Wallace has denied that he aided the Russians in getting any atomic materials. Friends of Hop kins also have declared they feel certain he did not.
 The hearing got underway near ly 45 minutes late with only two committeeman present, Reps. Wal ter D.-PaD and Harrison O.-VaD.
 The committee junked all it's rules against movies, still pictures and radio coverage of it's hearings.
 So the chamber was a hub-bub of cameramen, spectators and working reporters.
 People were hanging every where but on the chandeliers.
 Groves, now retired from the army, was wearing a powder blue suit.
 He told at the outset of taking charge of the Manhattan (atom bomb project in September, 1922, and running it until January l, 1947, when it was turned over to the atomic energy commission.
 Groves said there was a "great deal of influence" and pressure put on lend-lease administration to give the "Soviets everything they sought"
 But he said he didn't know who applied the pressure.
 Hopkins was the lend-lease ad- ministrator.
 Groves said the only shipment of atomic material about which he knows was made in the late win ter or early spring of 1943.
 He said he was unable to stop it or didn't do so because at the time it might have attracted "un- due attention"
 At that time, even the fact that the United States was working on atomic fission was a deep secret.
 The committee has received testimony from it's own investiga- tors that there were at least three war time shipments of atomic ma terials to the Soviets.
 As to the spying, the general said the espionage efforts were directed by the Russian embassy toward American laboratories.
 Efforts were made to get the atomic secret, he said, at Berkeley, Calf, Chicago and New York City.
 We had enough evidence of es- pionage," Groves said. ito con vince any prudent man that espi- onage was going on, that it was directed by the Russian embassy Cr r~Tr~N nrrc nau ~-r

that it has one more ally in the
u. S. congress since Franklin D.
Roosevelt, Jr., took the oath Of
office as representative from New
York, filling the vacancy caused
by the death of Sol Bloom.
After being sworn to his new

that he would support the repeal
of the Taft-Hartley labor law,
fight for the passage of a national

Although Roosevelt was not

School to Act But Only

ladies and gentlemen of that Au-
gust body gives all indication that
the original school board proposals
will be recommended again.
The lesson should be crystal
clear to readers Of this paper,
namely, that public officials, even
backward officials with their ar
chaic ideas, are still attuned to
the pressure of minority groups,
when that pressure is properly
applied. We did not agree in whole
with the procedure used by the
group, which itself must be criti-
cized for not being inclusive
enough. However, the gesture was
admirable, and it should be e
vived. Otherwise, our children will
continue to suffer the m%al-conse-
quences of inferior education.
