COMMUNIST CROOKS

The Charter of the United Nations proclaimed it's
purpose as: Determined to save succeeding gener-
ations from the scourge of war, which twice in our
lifetime has brought untold sorrow to mankind"
Worldwide group of honest nations joined
the U. N. All of them were in favor of perpetuatng
Peace in all lands and everywhere in the world
The daily reports from the United Nations tell
the motions OF dirty Russians and their Communist
connections
The simplest and sanest forms of orderly pro-
cedure are challenged and upset by the Communists
always obeying the orders of Russia. The terrible
war in Korea a Communist affair
The United States Joined the U. N. for only one
purpose: sTO bring about the Peace of the world.
The Communists dragged us into wars. And today
it is apparently almost impossible to break loose
from the trap Russia set for us.
Reports from Lake Success tell how Vishinsky
attacked Secretary General Trygve Lie and accused
him of being a stOOge of the United States. Liar
Vishinsky gets away with the game because he is
backed by Stain and the Russian Communists.
How long is the United States and other honest
natOns-working for Peace and an orderly world
going to stand for the professed friendship of Rus
sian Crooks and their Communists stooges?

THE WASTE GOES ON

Fire prevention is important at any time.
It is especially important in a time of emer-
gency, such as the present, when there is
heavy demand for manpower and mate
rials of all kinds, and when waste is a SER
iOus drain on the energies of the nation. The
organized war against fire has increased in
intensity. The experts are doing all they
can to reduce the toll But, unfortunately,
the waste is continuing at a high and dis
graceful rate. In the IL months which ended
September 80, for example, direct fire loss
was more than $685., ,O0O-an increase
OF about two per cent over the preceding 12
months. This can only be reflection of the
public's failure to learn and apply the simple
rules of fire prevention. One tragedy of fire

Maximum production, economic
expansion and the prevention of in
f1atiOn are the major basic Objec-
tives which the nation must strive
to achieve in the garrison state"
years we now face, Claude, A. Put
nam, president of the National
Association of Manufactures, de-
clared in a recent speech.
Outlining measures which most
be taken to maintain strong
economy and preserve individual
freedom, Mr. Putnam said industry
does not seek nationwide mo
strike" agreements, but relies upon
goOd-faith collective bargaining as
the best means of assuring unin-
terrupted defense production.
The NAM president warned
against both the boarding and the
inefficient utilization of manpower,
and said best results in use of man
power will come from voluntary
cooperation between State and Fed
eral governments in operation of
the employment service, so that
the states retain the greatest pos
sible degree of initiative.
Free Labor Needed
American industry knows the
record proves that the most pro-
ductive labor is free labor" Mr..
Putnam continued Industry does
not seek nationwide 'no-strike'
agreements. 1t relies in good faith
collective bargaining under the La
bOr-Management Relations Act of
1947.
Maximum production is our
goal. National industry-wide bar
gaining and industry councils
block that goal because they neces-
sarily ignore local and regional
conditions and needs. Productivity
in war and peace, thrives best when
labor and management cooperate at
the plant level"
Responsibilities Listed
During these years of conversion
from a peacetime economy to a de-
Tense economy, the NAM president
said, American business has these
three major responsibilities:
1. To do all in it's power to help
rearm the nation.
2. To do all in it's power to pre-
serve the individual freedoms
and incentives that make our
economy strong and produc-
tive.
3. To do all in its power to pre-
vent the dollar from suffering
further depreciation in value.
Danger Pointed Out

THAT BRANNAN PLAN

The Department of Agriculture has been stand
ing behind the sO-called Brannan Plan, claiming
that it is a cure-all medicine for farm troubles
1t turned out that the Democrats lost most of the
Midwest farm votes in the recent election.
The Brannan soothing syrup seems to have
gagged the farmers ever since President Truman
made it an Administration pet.
An investigation is pending by the Senate Agri-
culture Subcommittee on Utilization of Farm Crops
in the recent purchase by the Government of 112
million gallons of alcohol from France, at a time
when our Government is destroying millions of
bushels Of potatoes from which alcohol NAV be
made by GOvernment-built alcohol plants in Iowa,

U. S. Urged To Guard Liberty
And To Prevent Initiation

plished if we manage our produc-
tive forces in the most efficient way
possible, Mr.. Putnam declared, but
added that "the danger is that we
will motor will not be allowed
to-"
Mr.. Putnam said that the NAM
was convinced that six basic steps
can make this nation safe from
Communist aggression and give all
Americans maximum economic op-
pOrtunity and economic security.
He enumerated these as maximum
production, economic expansion,
prevention of further imitation, la
bor-management cooperation, eco
nomic cooperation between nations
and individual responsibility.
Mrs. Putnam pointed out that an
expanding economy is possible
only when Federal tax policies re-
tain sufficiently attractive incen-
tives for investors.
Excise Tax Advocated
But equally obvious is the ne
cessity to stop imitation by putting
the nation on a 'pay-as-we-go tax
basis" he said.
"These incentives can be retain
ed and imitation can be prevented,
by including in the Federal tax
structure a Manufacturers Uni
form Excise Tax, increases in in
dividual income taxes, and Cor
poratiOn Defense Tax"
Government can take other steps
to encourage venture capital, Mr..
Putnam declared-for example cit
should cease attacking mere busi-
ness size as monopoly. It should
drop unsOund fiscal policies. It
should stop legislating through bu-
reaus rather than through Con-
gress, and it should put an end to
the multitude of regulations and
red tape that are so costly to bus
mess. 1t should stop competing
with private business through sub
salaries and valley authorities"
Freedom Essential
above ALL" Mr.. Putnam said.
government should permit private
business a maximum of economic
freedom, without which venture
capital will not and cannot ven
ture. The alternative to economic
freedom is creeping socialism, and
venture capital will take no chance
because it has no chance under
such circumstances"
Discussing imitation, the NAM
president called it "Communism's
sixth and most important column
because, short of war, imitation is
the most destructive weapon it
uses against a nation"

THE PUERTO RICAN AFFAIR

In all probability Puerto Rico has nothing to
do with the attack upon the United States And to
prove it the American League for Puerto Rco's In
dependence dissolved. The organization declared
that: 1--WE abhor the resort to assassination as not
only morally reprehensible but also as especially
damaging to the cause it may seek to serve"
Actually, Puerto Rico has not been held to blame
for the killing bee in Washington Very fortunately
the assassins from that country failed to shoot
President Truman The affair has brought about a
special session of the Puerto Rico legislature now
in session, for the purpose of adopting measures to
tightly control sUbversive elements and movements
report from San Juan says that it will tighten
regulations about carrying of arms-anyone at
present can purchase gun if he says that he is
going to keep it in his house or his car The new
law will provide that no can carry a gun until
he gets permission from the District Court
The Attorney General of Puerto Rico has made
a statement to the effect that out of abont 00O
Nationalists and Communists all but about 30 have
been released after examination. So that seems to
be a closed book

TOO MUCH TRUMAN

Congress is told by the Presi-
dent to write an excess-profts tax that would in
crease Federal revenues by $4,OOOOOO,OOO a year.

The President is pressing vigorously for early
enactment of stiH-tax increases and charges, up
and down-a sort of Merry-GO-ROund
Congress will likely clip the wings of the Presi-
dent.
The Republicans are already fighting Truman s
fantastic schemes

No wonder the nickname of "Nlr Republican"

by landslide--43O,O0O majority.

FARMERS THING STRATGHT

In 1948 Middle-Western farmers were troubled
by the farm prices and the lack of storage space
They turned away from the Republican party and
threw the balance of power to the Democrats In
the recent election the farmers slid back into the
Republican ranks. 1t is very significant that while
Mr.. Truman carried Ohio in 1948 that Senator
Wisconsin went Republican with whooping major
tiles. And Indiana reelected Senator Capehart by
100000 votes.

In $4,000 Insurance Claim
BY the Assoeioted Press

BALTIMORE. June 13.-H. Guy
Bedwell, veteran horse owner and
trainer, is suing Lloyd's of London
for $4,000 in connection with the
death of Sir Alfred, an 8-year old
thoroughbred.
Bedwell, who lives near Laurel,
brought the action yesterday in
Federal Court. He says Sir Alfred
and II other horses were insured
in 1916 through the local agent
of Lloyd's, and Sir Alfred was in
jured the next year. The suit
states Lloyd's representatives
agreed that the horse should be
destroyed.
The point at issue is a "rider
clause" in the insurance policy
Bedwell says. which voids the pol
icy if any of the insured animals
are entered in a claiming race
He contends the clause was not
in the policy when he paid a
$3.38625 premium on the insur-
ance.

| Havana Players Irked
By Report Team May
Lose League Berth
BY the Associoted Press

MIAMI, Fla, June 13.-Reports
that Havana may be dropped from
the Florida international League
after this season have aroused the
champion Cubans' ire.
The Miami Herald today quoted
several Havana players opinions
ranging from mild interest in the
report to accusations Of poor
craftsmanship"
Havana, a farm team of the
Washington Senators, has won the
class B league pennant every year
since the circuit was formed in
1916 and is leading now by five
and a half games. The report is
that other clubowners may vote
to drop the Cubans.
Some players pointed out that
the Havana club is the league s
best drawing card. that it helps
the circuit and that several
Cubans are prominent in baseball
in other parts of the country.
Bob Estalella, former major
Lacquer, said that if other teams
can't win with the players they
have, 'let them get more and
better ones. Baseball is too big
a game for something like this to
happen"
Its poor craftsmanship; that's
all it is" said First Baseman Justo
Aspiazu. Outfelder Roberto Ia
panez called attention to how Ha-
vana has helped the league.
Catcher Gil Valdivia said if the
Havana team dropped out, crowds
would be cut in half. Pitcher
Moain Garcia said he just plays
ball and gets paid on the first and
18th of each month. Garcia said
he makes less money playing for
Havana but can be home more
often.
Gil Torres, third baseman,
summed up the teams feelings
when he said:
II never heard of a baseball
team being kicked out for winning
too many games. I have spoken" /"

Segura S Net Crown
Gained by Defeating
Two Best Big Men
by the Assoeioted Press

CLEVELAND, June 13.-Fran-
cisco Segura, a little fellow who
wore out and whipped the two
best big men in the game, is the
new national professional tennis
champion.
The 5-foot-6, 140-pound Pancho
who will be % week from today,
is the first South American to
win the pro net crown. He won
1t by defeating Frank Kovacs of
Oakland, Calf, last night in the
finals of the 23d National Profess
sional Tennis Tournament.
Kovac's 6-foot-2, 200 pound
physique couldn't stand the pace
set by the mighty mite from
Ecuador, and the handsome Cali
fornian suffered leg cramps and
called it quits in the fourth set.
At that time Segura led two
sets to one and the games of the
fourth set were tied A.
Segura won the first set Ga,
but dropped the second one to
Kovacs, 6-1. Frank looked like
a winner as he led 80 and Al
in the third set. but his concen-
tration appeared to slip and Sc
gura grabbed four games in row
to take the lead. Pancho broke
Kovacs' serve in the 18th game
at love then held his own to win
the set 8-6.
After 10-minute intermiSsion
Segura got away to a 81 lead in
the fourth set, but Kovacs rallied
to take three games. Segura then
held his service. and the score
stood "A. AS Kovacs started
serving the ninth game, he was
getting wobbly. and he fell going
after one of Pancho's hot two
listed forehands. He had to be
helped to the side of the court.
After about an hours delay,
Kovacs returned to the court and
with Welby Van Horn of Phila-
delphia defeated Segura and
Frank Parker OF Milwaukee in
the doubles final, 1--6, Ga, Ga.
The singles victory was worth
$500 to Segura, and the doubles

There were no other considera-
