Don't EVER forget that the
Toledo Blade is conducting a
campaign to destroy Gosser, and
thus to injure UAW-CIO and
Local IL; that it is committed
to this campaign to destroy Cos
ser on the record of its own
printed word, and that any event
which can be presented by the
Blade in manner to swing sup
port from Vice President Gosser
and create dissention within
Local II and the union is very
likely to be twisted to conform
to the campaign.
Fist fights, traffic accidents.
the purchase of a home, the un-
guarded statement of a staff
member or local officer, the
gripping of a minority, the crit
icism of ex-employes, union
union negotiations, shop
elections - all of these may be
used, and have been used by the
Toledo Blade to sow distrust of
and hostile public opinion about
the union, while this Blade cam
paign is on.
Toledo badly needs another
daily newspaper.
But until a competing daily
newspaper arrives, the only SEN
sible thing to do is read the To-
ledo Blade Gf at alD with your
fingers crossed, your tongue in
your cheek, and an answering
determination not to be fooled
any more. @

UAW-CIO strikes in Toledo had
ended.
Swartzbaugh workers were
out 81 days when the agreement
was reached - and will have
been out 95 days on Saturday
when the ratification meeting is
held = one of the longest recent
fights for security.
But in signing Swartzbaugh,
the union had done more than
win security for a group of 21O
workers who had stuck stub
bornly to stiff fight.
1t had, in addition, complete

propaganda machine, which had

wolves of public opinion during
the recent election campaign.
There are probably hundreds
possibly more-in Toledo who
saw in the terrifying headlines
in the Blade confirmation of the
entire anti-UAW-CIO and anti
Gosser campaign the Paul Block
Junior monopoly had waged.
The formula (as the Toledo
Union Journal had predicted)
was that the stooge of Gosser,
and that therefore Burke should
be defeated.

TO this ancient device until
Swartzbaugh played into the
hands of the campaign by an
nouncing that it was discontinu-

The Blade jumped the gun on
the company advertisement by
converting the ad into a seven

driven out of Toledo by the .

Early Congressional action to
bring the District under new
Federal law for correcting youthful
offenders was looked for today,
after approval of the step by
the judicial Conference of the
District of Columbia Circuit.
The Conference, meeting behind
closed doors, recommended amend
ment of the present law to include
the District, after several speakers,
including Chief Justice Vinson,
voiced their support of the pro-
posal
The Federal Youth Corrections
Act, passed by Congress last Sep
tember, omitted the District be-
cause of special complications in
volved in the penal system here.
These difficulties have been worked
out since then by a special SUBJ
committee of the American Bar
Associations committee for the
Improvement of the administra-
ton of justice, headed by Chief
District Court Judge Bolitha j.
Laws.
Amendment Drafted.
The subcommittee has prepared
amendments to the present law,
which were approved by yester-
days meeting and passed on to
the Judicial Conference of the
United States, which meets next
week.
Most active in the drafting of
the proposed amendment was a
group composed of Elwood Davis
Washington attorney: Vernon E
West, District corporation coun-
sci; Donald Clemmer, director of
the District Department of Cor
|rections, and James V. Bennett,
director of the Federal Bureau of
Prisons.
1t did not take the Subcommit-
tee long to agree that the Federal
law should be applied to the Dis
trict. Judge Laws himself has
worked for the law for many years,
and has pointed out the absurdity
of excluding the District from its
provisions.

provide their own facilities for
everything except Federal cases.
The proposed arrangement would
allow District authorities to con-
tract with the Federal Govern
ment to use Federal facilities, at
least until money could be found
to build new institutions in Wash
ington.
Some experts have had doubts
about bringing the District under
the Federal act on the theory that

tory warehouses are we'll stocked
with nearly every variety of con-
sumner product.
After mid-1952, officials be-
live, the shortages will ease sui
ficiently to permit relaxati Oh
of the materials controls.
To tire manufacturers over
the six month squeeze, NPA am
nounced a three-fold program to
alleviate business hardships caus-
ed BY the new curtailments. The
steps include:
/. Careful consideration for
the protests of any industries
which feel they should be classed
as more essential rather than
less essential"
2. Opening the door to supple
mental allotments of steel for
those companies which can show
that the substitution of steel for
copper and aluminium will permit
a higher rate of production and
give them a better chance of
breaking even during the squeeze.
3. The holding of industry as
sistance clincs" in more than 10
cities at which business men, mil
itary purchasing officers and
prime contractors will attempt to
work out methods Of placing more
defense contracts and sub-cofi-
tracts in plants which have ex-
cess capacity because of the
materials shortages.
Madison County Democrat. (London, Ohio) 19??-1958, 1951-11-27

A long list of more essential"
products also will be curtailed
but not as severely. Fifty per
cent of steel, 35 per cent of cop
per and 35 per cent of aluminium
will go to the makers of refrig-
orators, washing machines, radio
and television sets. Lawn mowers
and other products ranging down
to zippers, buttons and pins.
The entire field of consumer
hard goods, both more and less
essential, now is receiving about
5S per cent of the steel, 46 per
cent of the aluminium and 54 per
cent Of the copper Il consumed in

tract He simply goes out of busi-
ness"
Another possible solution, Bar
choff feels is regional pools of
small businessmen organized to
handle major contracts.
But the main trouble up un-
til now is there simply hasn't
been enought government order
ing.
Pointing out that great per-
centage of contracts had been
concentrated in relatively few
big firms. he added:
There is no real clash between
big business and small business.
They need each other.
But many big concerns today
in order to take up the slack
resulting from cuts in their own
civilian production-are doing
themselves the work they used to
send out to small subcontractors.
Government officials also have
been slow to allocate contracts,
hoping to get later chronological
benefits.
But the result is the same
the small businessman is going
under. and our whole economy
can be upset if we lose small
business.

The Soviet complaint comes
with Singular ill-grace from a
Soviet regime which consistently
has supported subversive activi-
ties against the u. s. and other
nations of the world
But then the State Department
added something which is diff
ficult to understand. It said the
Russian complaint was ground
les-propaganda.'
Propaganda it may be, and un-
doubtedly is, for no one expects
this complaint to change relations
between this country and Russia
a bit. They couldn't be much
worse.
But the State Department might
have trouble proving the Russian
complaint is groundless when Ker-
sten, who fathered the phrase
or for other purposes" which
excited the Russians, explaining
his intentions about the under
ground and Congress approved
the phrase.
This whole exchange comes un-
der the heading of diplomatic
window-dressing. The Communists
have a worldwide underground.
In this country. just to take one
example, the party's leaders were
convicted of conspiring to teach
forcible overthrow of the govern
ment.
And it seems a pretty safe
guess that TINS country not only
was encouraging undergrounds
behind the curtain before Kersten
mentioned the idea but that the
Russians knew it. If we haven't
been doing it. we've been sound
asleep. We're not playing beam
bag with the Russians.

There We're lot of casualties

who survived then, say they were
having even tougher going now.
They're drowning. Any number
won't be able to survive until the
third quarter of 1852, when the
government hopes to release ad-
dtional quantities of aluminium
ard steel for civilian use"
Barchoff held a pioneering
"shirtsleeve conference" at his
own plant last summer to attack
the problem. He brought together
government officials, representa-
tives of big business, and hund-
reds of small businessmen. Sim
liar regional shirtsleeve confer
ences are planned throughout the

But we need to get together
a basic organization to filter
down contracts to small business
firms faster" He said. That will
still salvage some"
Major government agencies dis
pensing defense contracts now
have units to deal with small
business. But Barchoff feels they
should be consolidated into one
outfit.
Then the small businessman
could 60 to single place instead
of being pushed from pillar to

HERMIT HASN'T FATH0MED ALL
OF ARMY'S RED TAPE-NOW AW0L

ABERDEEN, MD, Up Peter
Mexico hermit who joined the
army to do some gun fightin,
was on the AWOL list Tuesday.
Granger, self-educated New
His disappearance a week ago
last Sunday was just as casual
as his start of Army life Nov. 3
in San Antonio.
The 26-year-old mountaineer
was waiting along with five
other recruits for a short bus
ride to the Army proving
grounds here after a cross-coun-
try train trip.
One of the recruits quoted
Granger as saying: i think I'll
take walk and see what Aber-
deem looks like
He's had nine days to see the
town now the Army has officially
made him absent without leave.
Military police throughout the
country have been alerted to
watch for him.
The only report on Grainger's S
whereabouts came from Wauke-
sha, Wis, a man who said he was
Granger and who resembled pic
lures of the mountaineer showed
up there Friday to meet Carol
Amidon, II, who struck up a
pen par' relationship with Grain
ger after reading about him in
the newspaper He had date
with Carol-which he said was
his first. He left Waukesha Sat-
urday by bus, saying he was due
here Monday.
Granger startled San Antonio
recruiters when he sauntered in
and told them, Il buried paw on
top of mountain and then set
out to lin the Army"
He said his father died last
May. Up to that time the only
world Granger, said he knew was
the small mountain cabin and its
wild surroundings.
He did get into the town of
Beaverhead once, though, about
four or five days riding distance"
and he said that was the first
time he'd seen woman, other
than his mother.
When his father died, Granger
related, he packed his mule with
two guns and food. The mule died
during the mountain trek and
Granger hitched his first ride
in car. Later he got his first
store clothes, and his second shave
and haircut.
Army testers scratched their
heads when he scored an amazing
SO on the armed forces qualifica-
ton test. The passing mark is 10
and the average high school grad
uate makes 35. His only formal
education came from books his
father gave him.
But the missing mountaineer
still hadn't fathomed all the
Arny's red tape. He had an idea
it was going to be simple:
Il thought they'd just gimme
a uniform and a gun and send
me out to fight"

Poses AS Doctor And Performs
Major Surgery On South Koreans

OTTAWA.-tPl-The Canadian
Navy prepared today to discharge
an American who posed as a
Canadian doctor and served bril-
liantly as a surgeon in Korea. The
mans father doubts he ever went
to medical school.
The Navy announced that the
man they enlisted as DR.. Joseph
Cyr of New Brunswick is in
reality 29-year-old Ferdinand
Waldo Demara. Jr., formerly of
Lawrence, Mass.
The Navy's 4Dr. cyr' won
considerable fame for q series of
major operations he performed
on wounded south Koreans. The
Elder Demara said as far as he
knows the only previous medical
experience his son had was as an
orderly in a Boston eye and ear
infirrnary. The father said he
hadn't seen His son since about
1943. He described him as bright
to the point of genius and said
he once studied in trappist
Monastery.
New Brunswick's only Dr. JOS
eph Cyr, of Grand Falls, report
ed his medical Identification
papers disappeared last winter.
Newspaper accounts of the Navy
mans surgical exploits aroused
comment i'm New Brunswick and
resulted in Demara's return to
Canada for investigation.
The Navy announced Demara
would be discharged in due
course" for fraudulent entry into
the service. Canadian immigra-
tion authorities also are investi-
eating swhether he entered the
country Illegally. Demara's father
and mother are on their way tc

son is being held.

He can't get enough material
to continue full manufacture Of
consumer goods. He can get ma
teria1 to work on defense con-
tracts but he isn't getting these
defense contracts fast enough to
stay in business.
Barchoff said there are "thous-
ands and thousands" of small
firms faced with suspension of
operations.
1T is an odd thing to say" he re-
marked, but they are being hurt
more by a percentage war than in
an all-out war. In an all-out war

Fears Many Ohio
Youths Failing
To Register

The Ohio Selective Service Di-
rector said today he feared many
Ohio youths were placing them
selves ''in jeopardy" by failure to
register.
Col. C. w. Goble, the director,
at the same time said failure to
register is a violation of law and
makes the delinquent liable to
penalty.
He said he thought many
youths either unwittingly or be-
cause of an I-think Lean Getaway
-with-it attitude are making them
seleves liable to prosecution
Col. Goble could make no es-
innate of the number of eligibles
not registered. He said local
boards have standing instructions
to turn over names of suspected
delinouents under Selective Ser
vice law to federal authorities for
investigation and prosecution If
facts warrant.
There is not and never has
been-any intention to persecute,
said Goble, but the obligation TO
register at 18 is very plainly set
forth in the selectiyc service law
and failure to comply certainly
makes a youth delinquent and
all we can do is TO act according
ly
The director explained the
young man who becomes 18 is
required to register at local
board office within five days Of
the date of his 18th birthday.
