Barbed Wire Reel

It's easy to make this reel for
barbed wire from an old automobile
tire and FIVE 1S-inch two by fours.
Just split the casing around the CEN
ter so it is in two equal halves. Then,
with the outsides of the two halves
towards the center, space the two by
fours, and nail them to the castings
through the concave sides, as shown.
This reel, used by an Illinois farm
er, will roll easily on the ground to
wind, or unwind, barbed wire.

Rossen, Film Figure,
Admits He Was Red,
Gave Party $4,000
BY the AsSocioied Presa

NEW YORK. May s.-Robert
Rossen, award-winning Holly
wood producer who hasn't had
a job since he baked at House
Red hunters questioning two
years ago. gave in yesterday and
admitted he once was a Commu-
mist.
He told the House Committee
on Un-American Activities that
during 10 years in the party
from 1887 to 1947-he contrib
uted more than $4,000 to Com
munist causes. Other movie f1g-
,ures perhaps gave equal sums. he
said.
The 45-year-old Rossen said
he had done a lot of thinking"
since that fatal day in 1851"
when he clashed with the COM
nlittee.
At that time, he had said he
was not a Communist, but he
had refused to say if he ever
had been.
Since then, he said, he had
decided to cooperate.
Produced "All the Kings Men,"
Mr.. Rossen. producer of nu-
merous topnotch pictures of the
past decade including "All the
Kings Men" which won the 1949
Academy Award. said idealism
led him into the party and also
caused him to break with it.
THE same reasons for which
you go into the party are the
reasons for which you go out"
he said. THE ideals you look
for are just not there"
He said he found the Commu-
nists more interested in winning
power for the party than in
achieving idealistic ends.
He said conditions in the 1920s
and the depression of the 1930s
made him ripe for communism.
II felt I was looking for new
horizons, a new kind of society
I could believe in and attach
myself to in history. a historical
movement" he said.
Not Bashful, but Eager.
Another factor, he said. was
that those who waged the most
courageous fight for the Screen
Writers Guild in 1886 turned
out to be Communists. So when
he was approached to join, he
said. Il was not bashful-I was
eager"
But he said he gradually grew
disillusioned.
The party's veneration for
the masses of the people some
how or other never expressed
itself in terms Of the individ-,
ual." he said.
Mr.. RoSSen, who went to Hol-
lywood from New York in 1886
as writer, had been a play
wright and stage director on
Broadway. In Hollywood, he
became a director and producer,
earning up to $4,000 a week.
He estimated he paid the party
$4,000 directly in assessments
IS per cent of his salary, and
"easily" another $4,000 in spe-
cial donations.
Mr.. RosSen, the last of 10 wit
nesses heard by the committee
in four days of New York hear
ings, was the seventh co-opera-
tive witness. He named 81 Holly
wood figures he said he had
known as Communists. None of
the more prominent names was
new.
In winding up the hearings,
Chairman Velde said the COM
mittee was going back to Wash
ington because we have other
duties to fulfill besides chasing
Reds, so to speak"

ed for expansion Of high school
subjects.
The pinch will be felt most in
industrial arts, vocational and
agricultural courses. A summer
spent trying to entice teachers
away from Federal Government
employment and private indus
try has been very disappointing
Mr.. Martin declared.
"This situation is not peculiar
to Charles County," he explained.
"Our school system, like all
others, cannot offer salaries at
tractive to people in these fields. I"
One of the projects which he
had to abandon was a course in

Despite the shortage Of teach

Drafting Of Fathers
Necessary, Hershey
Tells Legionnaires
BY the Assoeiated Press

ST. LOUIS, Aug. 29.-Ameri-
can Legionnaires heard today
that the military might run out
of men unless fathers are
drafted.
That word came even as the
Legionnaires were confronted
with a real shortage themselves
they were running out of hotel
rooms for their national conven-
tion opening here Monoay.
Maj. Gen. Lewis B. Hershey
Selective Service director, re-
ported original registration lists
have been reduced to where
there are only a few men left
besides the 3 million fathers and
physically disabled who have
been deferred.
Gen. Hershey said there are
100000 men deferred because
of dependent children and
100000 deferred because of
pnySlcal QlSaD1llCy.
General In Favor Of UNIT.
Gen. Hershey said he favored
Universal Military Training. al
though the armed forces do not.
Under the present program of
tWo-year enlistments for draf-
ees, he said, the armed forces
are building up a huge secondary
army Of reserves.
There Is a question. he said,
whether this is better than hav-
ing more men in the field under
a universal military training
program.
Even as Gen. Hershey was re-
porting to the National Security
Commission Of the Legion, the
Legionnaires began taking over
downtown st. Louis. They pa
raded about the streets, but
mostly the new arrivals pestered
the Legion's Housing Committee
about accommodations.
They were pouring in 80 fast

Martin and the ex-commanderS
of the legion left no doubt they
felt this might change the

10 jets in Big Race
To Fly by Blueprint

Ten Sabrejets will "fly by the
blueprint" in an effort to break
the record in the Bendix Trophy
speed race at the National Air
craft Show in Dayton, Ohio, next
Saturday. The show runs through
the following Monday.
The pilots, who represent five
Air Force commands, will fly a
strict pattern in the 1900 mile
dash from Edwards Air Force
Base, Calf. to Dayton. An Air
Force spokesman said that pilot
proficiency at speeds close to $50
miles an hour will be put to the
test in the cross-country speed
classic.
Col. Keith K. Compton set the
best time for the croSs-country
dash in 1851, when he few from
Edwards to Detroit in three
hours. 81 minutes and 56.4
seconds at an average speed of
b53.76 miles per hour. He also
used a Sabrejet.
The winner of the forthcoming
Bendix race will be the pilot who
conceives the best flight plan and
stays with it the Air Force says.
Another major event during
the show will be the running of
the Thompson Trophy Race, an
other annual classic. In addition
the show will feature the unveil-
ing Of several aviation "flrStS"
in the military, commercial and
civil fields.
Some of the fastest planes now
in existence are being brought
