Growing through FeliOWSnlp
with Christ.
The words recorded by John
were doubtless spoken as Jesus
and the disciples reached the
doorway of the upper room,
when he saw a vine growing
about the portal. The vine was
a sacred snybol among the Jew
ish people, and it is quite likely
that Jesus pointed to the vine
and said to the disciples: 81 am
the true vine"
Thus did Jesus direct attention
to the close relation that should
exist between the disciples and
himself. Think of the oneness of
life throughout the vine. From
the roots in the earth, through
the trunk, and out through all
the branches to the smallest
tendrill clinging to the support
ing wall or trellis, the life in
the vine is one.
Paul wrote the Philippians
what was needed to maintain a
close relation between Christ
and his disciples. The followers
of the Lord are to yield them
selves to his will that they may
indeed share in the fellowship
of his sufferingS and also in the
power of his resurrection. In
sacrificial service they may at
tain unto conquest and eternal
happiness.
The opposite did not count
himself to have laid hold upon
all the victories and glories of
the Christian life, but he was
sure that he was pressing for
ward toward the prize of the
high calling of God in Christ
Jesus" So let us set be fore
ourselves the highest ideas.

Rubber Workers Win
Pay Raise Approval
BY the Assoeioied Press

A l3-cent hourly wage increase
for more than 100000 employees of
the big four rubber companies
won the approval of the Wage
Sterilization Board last night.
The pay boost was negotiated
by the CLOS Rubber Workers
Union last summer with the U. S.
Rubber Co., the Firestone Tire &
Rubber Co.. the B. F. Goodrich
Co. and the Goodyear Tire g.
Rubber Co.
Of the total increase, 7 cents
will be retroactive to the effective
dates, last July and August. Of
the contracts with the individual
companies. The other cents will
be retroactive to October Is.
The workers averaged $l.78 an
hour in straight time wages in
July of this year.
The board allowed 6 cents of the
raise as "catch-up" pay, cent
to increase nightshift differentials
or in lieu of such an increase and
the remaining cents to compen-
safe for increased living costs
from January through October.

Only Mr.. Truman knows wheth-

One other issue will be certain
unless Mr.. Truman acts soon. It
will be minor but 1t will be effec-

speculation in the commodity
markets by a few members of the

made him embassy press attache.
In this capacity, Sorge played an
ironic role in hammering out the
tripartite Axis pact of 1910.

There was another agent in the
ring almost as important as Sorge
himself. That was Hozumi Ozaki,
an adviser to the japanese cabinet,
who had close contacts with
Prince Konoye, thrice Premier of
Nippon. With sources of this
character. the ring was able to
give the Kremlin intelligence of

Congress in recent months has
been agitated by the fact that
the Soviet bloc has been obtaining

the West. The matter has been
brought to a head by the passing
Of the KEN amendment to the

President Truman, in signing the
bill, publicly stated his strong OBJ
jections to the amendment which
if literally carried out might weak
en-, rather than strengthen, the
security of the United States
The President urged Congress
to enact improved legislation on
the subject.
The KEN amendment prohibits
the extension of economic or
financial aid to any country
which exports to the Soviet bloc
any arms, articles or commodities
which may be used in the manu-
facture Of armaments-or any
thing which is forbidden for ex-
port from the United States to
the Soviet bloc. In an age when
a pig Is an explosive and even
Feathers have important military
uses, the new law could create
havoc with the economy of West

Previous Legislative Effort
Before looking at that trade
more closely, it may be noted that
three years ago the Mundt
amendment attempted to prevent
the Marshall Plan from being
used indirectly to strengthen the
Soviet's military potential. Last
fall Congress charged the Ma
tional Security Council with see
ing to it that the foregoing policy
was enforced. But last month the
KEN amendment was passed be-
cause:

the National Security Council has
failed to look. If it had looked
as required by law, it would have
found much trade in materials

On items that weren't fair
traded (and there were many
thousands of them, too) merchants
could do what they wished-sell
them at cost or give them away
if they wanted to. But on fair
trade goods, the non-signing mer-
chant had to go along with his
competitors.
District Never q Problem
One big New York store ran
into a couple of law suits some
years back in connection with vio-
lation of fair trade statutes. That
store, and other large ones, got
around the fair trade law by hav-
ing virtually identical merchandise
made to order so they could sell it
under their own brand name.

to stem the German onslaught at
a most critical moment.
Willoughby apparently has not
been able to determine from the
records whether Moscow passed
on to Washington before Pear
Harbor the word that the Japs
had decided to plunge southwark
into war against the United
States.
Sorge, one of the most fabulous
spies in history, apparently did
not follow the rulebook for be-
havior expected of successful
agents. Gen. Willoughby wrote
this of him:
HE was quick tempered, hard
drinker and liked variety in his
women. In addition to having a
wife in Russia and another, a
school teacher, in the United
States, he is known to have been
intimate with some 80 women in
Tokyo during his years of service,
including the wife of his chief
foreign assistant and the mistress
of this same assistant"
Despite his philandering, bad
temper and bouts of drunkenness,
he never betrayed himself. The
ring was broken almost by acci-
dent. In a routine arrest, Ito
Ritsu, a top Communist in Japan
today. was charged with party
activity. He identified as a fel-
low Red a woman he suspected
of being a renegade.
This woman was very minor
member of the Sorge apparatus.

formation to break the whole
group. This was late in october,
1941. Three years later, Sorge

could shut of Western trade with
the Reds.
The immense area controlled by
Moscow-the long land and sea
frontiers Of that area, stretching
like a huge sickle from Alaskan
waters through Central Asia to
Germany and the Baltic-and the
economic richness of that area
all this must be remembered.
Then there are the possibilities
of alternative sources of supply
for the Soviets: Switzerland and
Sweden, if Moscow cares to bid
high enough for what it wants.
Moscow is believed to have at its
disposal 81 or S. billions in gold,
that metal for which the capitalist
worlds appetite is Unsuitable.
Longshoremen's Attitude
Although the United States ex-
port control plus cooperation of
our Allies keeps the more strategic
products of the West out of Soviet
hands to a very large degree
smuggling excepted-European in
dustrial products continue to flow
East. Since Korea the sight of
this trade has angered many
Americans. Thus, last year the
longshoreman's union refused to
unload Russian furs, feathers
cotton linters and crabmeat
even though the articles had
been paid for by the United
States importers. In one case
Russian crabmeat made the
return trip across the Atlantic
But, when longshoremen were Of
fered 2 per cent of the value OF
the furs. they agreed to unload
them.
Russian asbestos and some
manganese, both useful materials,
are still being imported here. Yet,
in the last analysis, the U. S. A.
could get along without any Rus
sian commodities.
With Western Europe, it is diff
ferent. Our Allies there, the peo-
pie whom the American taxpayer
is supporting with economic aid,
depend on Eastern Europe for
timber, for coarse grains for the
dairy industries and other food
stuffs like eggs, bacon. butter,
meats; for fax, fertilizer. coal and
pulpwood. If they could not get
these commodities from the Soviet
bloc, they would either have to get
them from us or suffer severe
economic contraction, with adverse

Ibels, who turned around and met
the competition. thus forcing
Macy's to take another 6 per cent
cut, thus causing Gimbels to pro-
tect it's reputation-and SO on,
ad infinitum, ad nauseam.
Naturally, to get into the act,
other New York stores Joined the
Iprice-cutting spree. The epidemic
spread to other towns and other
States, and was last seen over
Market street, San Francisco,
headed west. Baltimore was an
early victim of the trouble, and
Richmond also was heard from as
suffering a slight headache.
Too Many Spies
AS the price war broke out in
New York, comparison shoppers
from one store mobbed the coun-
tiers of the competition to see what
was going on. It was the plain
tive report of one big New York
merchant that so many opposition
"spies" had come in that legit-
innate customers couldn't make a
purchase.
Early risers on the rainy morn
ing of May % found themselves
running from the bargain coun-
ters to the exchange desk and
back to the bargain counters to
take advantage of price changes.
It got so, in the case of some
items, that the old phrase, II can
get it for you wholesale" lost
much of it's meaning-you could
buy it 10 per cent cheaper at any
store in town.
Obviously, this couldn't go on
forever. and the price war already
has given indications of taper
ing off.
What is likely to happen in the
Nationwide battle is that prices
will find their own level and the
war will end-as all wars of attri-
ton do-in a stalemate.
Then another law will take eff
feet again: The law of supply and
demand. A
