Briefly, the program would au-

western Europe and make $685.
100000 available Immediately to
get the aid program under way.
This money would come from the
Reconstruction Finance Corp.
The remainder of the cash and

for Western Europe is divided,
$500, ,000, 900 in cash and $500. .000,-

tracts.
Only 100000, 900 in cash could
be spent Immediately. The re-
r1aindef would become available
only after President Truman ap-
proves defense recommendations
made by the Atlantic pact mill
tAry committee.
The Senate insisted on putting
this string on the spending to tie
the program more closely to the
operations of the North Atlantic
Security Council and the Defense
Committee.

For cabinet members, that
would mean a boost in pay from

Senator Mcfarland said the
compromise also would cut the

Antitrust Suit Threat
10 Press Freedom
by The Assceiofed Press

CLEVELAND. Sept. 27.--s. A.
Horvitz. publisher Of the Lorain
Journal. said today the Govern
f1ent's antitrust suit against the
paper constitutes threat to the
rights of every newspaper and
publication in the United States. :"
Mr.. Horvitz. In his first state
ment since the civil action was
filed In Federal Court here last
Thursday. added:
Maybe it's case of the journal
being made a guinea pig In q move
by the Government to regulate and
control newspapers. The Anti
trust Act and the Governments
power to regulate commerce has
been stretched to cover control
over all manner Of business in re-
cent eyars.
Says Radio Already Is Controlled.
IF Government bureaucrats can
gain control over the advertising
contents of the American press, it
would be a short step to gaining
control over the news and editorial
contents as well.
Radio Is already under the
thumb of the Federal Commune
cations Commission. Perhaps this
Is the first step toward an FEC
for newspapers"
The Government accused the
paper and four Of It's officers of
cofspirif1g to rnonopolize the dis
sefnir1atiU1 Of news, advertising
and other information in viola
ton Of antitrust laws.
1t said the journal had refused
to accept advertisements from
merchants who advertised over
Radio Station WEOL and WEOL-
FM in Elyria and in the Sunday
News. a paper published every
Sunday In Lorain.
Will Meet All Charges.
The action asked a preliminary
injunction to require the paper
to print advertising of firms that
also use the Sunday paper and
the radio station.
Attorney General McGrath
pointed out that the suit was the
first in which a paper has been
accused OF corlspiring to ii1jure q
competing radio station.
Mr.. Horvitz, who also Is pub
Usher Of the Mansfield News
journal. said that "at the proper
time and in open court he will
meet any and all charges con-
tanned In the action"
A hearing on the injunction re-
quest is set for November l6.

worm occurs usually on the face or
neck, but can appear on other parts
of the body. The patches are gen.

slightly raised, pink and scaly with
a clear space in the center. Usually,

Although ringworm of the body
IS easier to treat than ringworm of

To prevent another ringworm in

Ringworm of the Nail
Ringworm of the nail is the most
difficult of all to cure. The fungus
growth can work entirely through
the nail, causing it to become dis

Do not delay a cure by trying to

Thoughts on Life
Hope Springs
Eternal"
By DIR. JOHN w. L

~ 0iss OOiiIN "
THE GREAT SOLDIER of South
Africa, Gen. Jan SHUTS, said, GAS
we grow older, life more and more
comes to consist of memories and
the Great Hope"
1 think of the brain as a photo
graphic plate recording whatever
passes before it. In childhood and
early youth, when attention is keen
in a world all new" the impress
sions from our experiences in life
are more deeply fixed in our MEM
DRY plates. During the buster years
of active life there is little time to
think over the past, but when bodily
activities slow down and interest
wanes a bit, then it seems that the
earlier impressions become more
vivid.
This accounts for the popular
fallacy that the good old days were
back in childhood"
They were no better than the pres
ent, and in many ways, not half so
good, but a halo of distance makes
them that way.
In one of the vivid pictures of
eternity which Jesus gave in his
parable of the Rich Man and Lag
arus, the rich man, in torment, is
| told this: "Son, remember, that in
thy life, etc." The mere fact that he
could remember was a part of his
sorrow.
1t is often true of us on this side
of the curtain which we call death.
eff I hadn't done it," is often as
a cat-o-nine tails when we recall
meanness or rascality we were fool
ish or weak enough to commit.
Living Twice
AS I see it, they who SO live that
they may remember their past lives
with pleasure have really lived
twice while going through the world
once. They who cannot recall the
past with pleasure have failed to
live in the highest sense.
There are but three ways of hav-
ing pleasure. There is the pleasure
of anticipation. We all know this
pleasure. There is the pleasure Of
realization. Most people know of the
doing of some of their dreams. Then
there is the pleasure of thinking i
over after it is done. To those who
have followed the laws of God ano
the love of Christ, age comes as /;
coronation. "A hoary head is {
crown of glory if it be found in th'
way of righteousness"
The other thing that Genera
SHUTS mentions is most important
s"The Great Hope"-life which Jesu
taught and which the experience o
millions has verified. In truth w
are valuable and happy just as w
have hope. Even Faith is "the sub
stance of things hoped for, the evi
dence of things not SEEN" Pau
wrote: eff in this life, only, we hav
hope, we are of all men most miseI
able"
