New Zealanders VOW that more year of Socialism in their government would have brought complete and irreparable ruin That Socialism is disastrous is longer theory, but proven fact
 But Winston Churchill and his newly formed cabinet are not yet out of the woods Theirs is the gargantuan task of bringing sembance of order out of the hopeless muddle thrust their hands Theirs the of getting Britains finances into workable shape.

 And their task Will not be an easy one. The slim majority of seats in Parliament (eighteen in alb indicates that there will be active opposition. whose methods will undoubtedly resemble those Of Socialists everywhere They may expect tactics bor- deItng upon treason They may expect organized opposition from the Commie controlled labor unions.

Probably the greatest encouragement that troubled 1851 brought to the Russian world was the defeat in Britain of the Socialist regime

sPARKMAN vs. LAWYER.

Sen. John Sparkman was mysh- fled by. a straiige visit from aA emissary of Secretary of Commerce Charles Sawyer just hefore the Sem ator 'returnedsto Aiabama. A
 The emissary, assistant, Secretary Thomas W. s. Davis, said, almost apologetically, Secretary Sawyer is quite upset about your speech on the distribution of war contracts"
 What was the matter~ Spark man asked. a
 Well" Davis replied, you said that 40 percent of the war contracts are held by ten companies, and the Secretary of Commerce feels you gave an erroneous impression. After all. much of the work on the prime contracts is sublet. The Bendix Company, for example, has benefit ed widely from sub-contracts, and it is not one of the first ten"
 Sparkman said this was most interesting, and that he would like the figures on Bendix.
 Davis took out the list of Defense contracts, then seemed even more embarrassed For the figures reveal ed that BendiX was fifteenth in tht list of prime contracts, receiving S265, 100000 worth.
 Note-In a recent talk at Colum' bus, O., not cleared at the White House, Secretary Sawyer lambast' ed the Federal budget as wild anc extravagant" and called the smal plants corporation, just approved by Congress to help small bushes ses, as ridiculous As a result rumors are current around Pennsyi vania Avenue that Sawyer is anX ious to exit from Washington.

Bourke Hickenlooper of Iowa, Re- publicans. Most of the above are members of the Senate Foreign Re- lations Committee, so have legiti- mate reason for taking the trip.
 With them will also go Congress men Gene Cox of Georgia, Howard Smith of Virginia, Frazier Reams of Ohio and Donald O'Toole of New York, Democrats; and Walter Judd of Minnesota, Harris Ellsworth of Oregon and Kenneth Heating of New York. Republicans.
 Meanwhile, another Congressional delegation has already taken off for a leisurely, two-month, round- the world tour. They include Cong ressmen Herbert Bonner of North Carolina, Harold Donohue- of Mas sachusetts, Sidney Fine of New York, William Lantaff of Florida, Demo- crats; together with Charles Brown son of Indiana, Thomas Curtis of Missouri, Cecil Harden of Indiana, Walt Horan of Washington and George Meader of Michigan. Their official trip" is sponsored by the Touse Expenditure committee which has no round -the-world business, but is supposed to keep an eye on fed- eral expenses.
 It is interesting to note that not single Congressman has asked to go to Korea, where the weather is growing bitter cold and accommo- dations aren't so comfortable.

Housewife Saw
2-Plane Crash
In Mid-An
Viewed Navy Trainer
Plane Falling Apart
I'm Mid-Air And Big
Plane Drop Into Sea

The 18th witness before the
CAB inquiry today gave the
ciearest evidence that there was
a mid-air collision between an
SNB navy trainer and the Gu
bana DC-4 which crashed here
April Is.
An eye witness, Mrs. Nell Mat
thews, housewife living at K-4
Fl. Taylor, is the first person SO
far to positively testify that an
actual collision occurred.
She was standing in her yard
back of her house when she look
cd up toward the southwest and
west observing two aircraft.
They were about city block
apart when she first saw them.
The Cuban plane was flying to-
ward the southwest. she said, and
the smaller plane was headed
west at about the same level.
Il can't estimate in number
of seconds how long it was be-
fore looked again, but when
did it seemed to me that the big
plane turned to the left and its
left wing hit the smaller plane, :"
she stated.
The slim housewife was posi-
tive that she saw a puff of gray
ish smoke and red and orange
streaks Immediately after the
impact.
She saw the navy trainer plane
begin to fall apart in mid-air and
observed the bigger plane lose a
wing then spin or roll several
times before it nosed straight
down and dropped into the sea.
Mrs. Matthews demonstrated
the position of the aircraft with
two model planes handed to her
by CAB authorities. Her demon
stration showed that the SNB
was slightly below and behind
the airliner just before the big
plane made a left turn into the
path of the smaller plane.
If the witness is correct in what
she says she saw, it will help cs-
tablish the assumption that the
