Comment On
World Events

Both Franco and Stain want U
S. aid for Spain-without whicf
the Spanish dictator cannot stay il
power, Americans for Democratic
Action declared in a 16-page ques-
tion-and- pamphlet on the
Spanish issue.
,, The document, entitled "What
Does Stain Want Us to Do About
Franco and which is being dis
tributed to each member of Con
gress, assumes special significance
in the light of the State Depart
ment's new policy toward Spain as
announced in Secretary Acheson's
letter to Senator Connally in Jan
uary.
Endorsed in a foreword by 5
news commentators, editors and
analysts, the document says Franco
is a "poor risk" for the u. S. econ
omically, politically, and militarily.
The information was compiled from
many sources in the U. S. and
Europe.
Frances government, Early
broke, is counting on a U. S. loan
to stay in power, the pamphlet
charges. Fran o s government
wants to borrow at least $400,000,-
900 from the U. S. and, to keep 60
ing, will need at least $1,450,000,-
600 over the next four years, ac-
cording to the figures published
by the Urquijo Bank, Madrid
Bank which has supported Franco
= !. y
But, says ADA, friendship with
Franco does not fit into our for
eign policy. "The United States is
spending billions in Western Eu-
rope to build up resistance of
democratic countries to the spread
of communism. American assist
ance to Franco Spain would, on the
contrary, be of great assistance to
Moscow propagandists who are
trying to convince the rest of the
world that Americans are support
ing relationships like Franco Spain
and care nothing about democracy
in Europe or elsewhere"
The pamphlet bore the endorse
ment of Elmer Davis, radio COM
mentator and former head of the
Owl; Quincy Howe, author, radio
commentator and expert on foreign
policy; Edgar Ansel Mowrer, news
paper columnist and foreign cor
Irving Pflaum, foreign
editor of the Chicago Sun Times
and former UP correspondent in
Spain; and Leland Stowe, former
foreign correspondent now Euro
pean editor of The Reporter mag
azine.
The Spanish problem has special
significance in our foreign policy
today, according to these writer's,
all of whom have a direct know
ledge about Franco Spain.

Congressional Price Probe

into the reserve and will get none
of it unless they stay with the
company until they reach 65 years
Of age.
O'Mahoney plunged through the
line again with an observation that
Steel had increased prices although
it had not yet begun to pay any
thing into the retirement fund and
wouldn't for months-until the
stockholders have approved the
plan and trustees have been ap-
pointed.
Senator Myers Cd, Pal got into
the scoring column by bringing out
that if the social security expan-
sion bill now pending passes Con-
gress, Steefs costs will go down
% per cent. Even Senator Taft
Or, Ohio got a good gain by
bringing out that workers dis
charged just before they reach re-
tirement age would have no claim
on the benefits, but if they were
disabled at a younger age they
could collect.
Senator Paul Douglas I'd, ILL.,
joined the scoring column by fore
ing George B. Buck, the company's
actuary, to duck all over the com
mittee room to avoid saying how
large a percentage of the steel
workers would never benefit under
the company plan, despite the fact
that all of Bucks cost estimates
were based on such figure. He
never gave it to the committee,
however.
Douglas scored again by making
Buck admit he may have figured
the costs Of the plan too high,
which would result in increasing
the cost to the public in steel
prices, or lowering benefits to the
workers. O'Mahoney also got him
to admit they had not adopted the
least expensive plan for computing
the cost of the program.
Patman scored one Of the pret- |
test touchdowns of the day when
he forced Fairless to admit that |
the company proposed to absorb
costs of a dollar a ton on steel if |
the monopolistic basing point price
fixing scheme goes into effect |
again, although it had refused to |
absorb any of the pension costs and |
had passed them all on to the pub
lie in increased prices. The conclu-
sion was obvious-steel is willing
to cut its profits to get price fix
ing, but not to care for its workers.

West jefferson Winner OF
Madison County League Title

Vest Jefferson High cagers,
leaders Df the Madison county
league, salted away the Madison
County League championship
Thursday eyrning when they took
over Mt. Sterling High 40 to 81
on the Jefferson floor.
The winners staged a dazzling
second half comeback to nail
down the victory, giving them a
county league record of eight
wins and no defeats. The tally for
the season, embracing all games,
was 1873. The defeat was Mt.
Sterling's second in eight league
encounters.
West Jefferson was trailing IA
% at the half way mark but
when the third quarter rolled
around they snapped out of the
tagging session with a vengeance
to hold the visitors to two points
while they chalked up 16 for
their own record.

Safety Hazards
Lurk In Barns

Danger turks behind every barn
door-but sometimes you have to
be looking for trouble to find it!
I If you invited w. f. Stuckey,
farm safety specialist at Ohio
State University, to visit your
farm, he would start looking for
trouble-and chances are he would
find it in the barn.
Finding and correcting the dam
ger spots, he says, will make barn
chores safer and easier. To help
you locate these hazards, he
makes these suggestions, all of
which have been endorsed by the
National Safety Council.
Check your barn for loose OBJ
jects or things that may cause
falls high door sills, abrupt
changes in floor levels, weak
boards, protruding cleats or other
tripping hazards. Do some house.
cleaning and set things in order
if the alleyways or work areas are
obstructed with feed, tools har-
ness, feed carts or other obstacles.
See that dangerous corners and
work-centers are well-lighted.
Avoid storing loose materials
overhead and keep forks and 9TH
er equipment in safe places.
Loft doors, feed chutes and
ladders need special attention. A
stairway that is hard-railed and
kept clean provides the safest
and easiest passage to the hay
mows. Stairways used as feed
chutes are dangerous because
loose hay or straw makes footing
uncertain. Separate feed chuts
with guards above the loft floor
are desirable.
If ladder is used, see that ii is
extended we'll above the loft floor.
tt should also have well-spaced
stout rungs that are placed far
enough from the wall for secure
footing.
