Crockdown in British Guiana

Although they have called for a general
strike and other disruptive measures, the Com
munists and their fellow travellers in British
Guiana are not likely to get very far against
the Churchill governments commercially firm
action. The action-fully supported by the
United States-offers good insurance against
the kind of coup that might well have occurred
had do-nothing policy been followed.
Far from doing nothing, the Churchill gov
ernment, besides dispatching troops to the scene
to maintain peace and order, has suspended the
colony's constitution and ousted 35-year-old
Prime Minister Cheddi Jagan and his extremist
cabinet ministers. Until the situation can be
restored to normal Sir Alfred Savage, the colo
nial governor, will have special emergency pow
ers to rule there with interchangeable authority.
Of course, taking their cue from Moscow's
Pravda, Communist sheets like the Daily Worker
in New York and London have inveighed against
all this as an example of imperialism" intent
upon crushing democracy" and "enslaving"
people for the sake of colonial plumber" DR..
Jagan has said much the same thing. So has
his 32-year-old American-born wife, the former
Janet Rosenberg, who is a leading figure in the
colonys Peoples Progressive Party" Both of
them insist that the Churchill government has
invented Red plot in British Guiana as a
Smoke screen" designed to cover up dirty work
against the democratic rights" of the masses
as represented by the PPP and the ousted
cabinet.
It is noteworthy however, that DR.. and
Mrs. Jagan have declined to give straight
forward yes-or-no answer to question asking
them whether or not they are Communists. It
is noteworthy too, that the PPP and the now
dissolved Jagan cabinet have within recent
months followed course of action that could
hardly fail to be most pleasing to the Krem-
lin-action sufficiently far to the left, and
sufficiently conspiratorial to justify Londons
precautionary measures against the very real
possibility of Red coup in British Guiana.
Although its population is under 100000,
this colony has an Importance that goes far
beyond the number of its inhabitants or the
value of its resources. Located as 1t is on the
north shore of South America, it occupies a
strategcally significant position in relation to
the Panama Canal and the Caribbean defense
area. Accordingly, in safeguarding it against
the danger of Communist domination, the
British are rendering good service not only to
themselves but also to us and our hemisphere
security system.

There is no prettier human animal
as the scientist might say, than a
well made, properly balanced female
of the species.
A great deal more than a bone,
rag, bone and a hank of hair,
the well made, well set up woman,
with the right physiological posture,

blessing to the eyes Of all beholders.
The beauty of carriage is totally
free from most of the absurdities of
the annual beauty contests, which
still do not seem to know exactly
what they want to find in beauti-
full woman.
Templeton Jones, if Judge, would
look first for carriage, posture, what
ever any one wanted to call it. It is
a wonderful thing to see, and fine to
watch, since it means each motion
is thing of beauty in itself.
The wonderful thing is that each
one of these fine postured persons
is usually beautiful enough to carry
it off. The posture itself is the won-
derful fact. It is too bad that nature
does not make all people so, then we
would have race of super men

Ohio's New Senator

It is consistent with Governor Lausche'S
own excellent reputation that he should have
picked highly respected man as successor
to the late Senator Taft.
The new Senator from Ohio will be Thomas
A. Burke, four-term mayor Of Cleveland. Mr..
Burke, Of course, is a Democrat as is Governor
Lausche. But he is not narrow partisan. He
has made an outstanding record as mayor of
Ohio'S largest city, and it is to be expected that
he will take a constructive approach to his
responsibilities as Senator.
This is indicated by his own tribute to
Senator Taft, whom he called "a great Sena-
tor, one of the greatest" and by Governor
Lausche's comment in announcing the Burke
appointment. The Governor said that Mayor
Burke had made no commitments of any kind,
except that 81 anticipate he will take no action
to change in any manner the present organi-
cation of the Senate"
This assurance is important, since the in
dicated division in the Senate which meets in
January will be 48 Democrats, Al Republicans
and one Independent. AS long as the Inde-
pendent Senator Morse, votes with the Repub-
leans on organization matters, G. 0. p control
could be retained in any event through tie
breaking vote by the Vice President. A single
detection, however, could upset this control.
In all probability, the Democrats would not
want at this stage to assume the responsibility
and the possible political liability-of taking
over control of the Senate. STILL even threat
Of this could be politically disturbing, and it is
for this reason that the Ohio Governors state
ment concerning Mr. Burke's intentions assumes
Importance.
The selection of Mr. Burke will be of con-
siderable interest to the extent that it may shed
some light on the political situation within

pointment only until December 49, 1854, which
means that Senator to serve the remainder
of the Taft term will be elected in November of
next year. So there arises question as to who
will make the race for the Democrats. Pre-
sumably the candidate will be either Mr.. Burke
or Governor Lausche. And either man. in
all probability would be formidable contender

Wanted: A Chonoed Low

There is, perhaps, no vital reason to quarrel
with the Commissioners decision to appeal the
District Court ruling in the case of Inspector
Bullock's pension
That ruling was to the effect that Inspector
Bullock must be retired with full pension despite
the fact that a trial board had found him
guilty OF INSTRUMENTATION, conduct prejudicial
TO the good order and reputation of the Police
Department and failure to file District income
tax returns for three years.
That the Commissioners, who wanted to
nre Inspector Bullock, should be vexed by this
ruling is understandable It does not neces-
sarily follow, however, that an appeal to the
higher courts is the best remedy available to
them.
Chairman Case of the Senate District Com
mittee has taken an interest in this matter, and
has said that he is willing to introduce legisla-
ton which will bring this matter before Con-
gresS. It seems to The Star that the real
remedy lies in this direction. The District
Court ruling was based on the premise that,
under existing law, the Commissioners were
without authority to deny Mr. Bullock his pen
sion. There is strong reason to believe that
this is the correct view of the law. There is
something wrong, however, when the law per-
m1tS police officer to retire on pension paid
for in part by the public, when he has failed or
refused to explain how he and his wife managed
to bank some $4,000 in excess of their regular
salaries over three-year period. If the law
makes retirement with full pension mandatory
under such circumstances, or If there is even
substantial doubt concerning the question, the
law should be changed. And the effort to
obtain the change should be pushed noW-while
the Bullock case is fresh in the minds Of the
members of Congress. An appeal of the Dis
trict Court decision, carried to the Supreme
Court, is going to require a lot of time.

Business in Government

President HAYES of the international

"now even the Department of Labor
has been turned over to business"

20 years of unbusinesslike methods and

the United States Government, should
be turned over entirely to highly trained

Agriculture and Government

The entire trouble with agriculture is
the overproduction of farm products
caused by price support and a multi
tude of other governmental favors. The
remedy, of course, is for the Govern
ment to cease providing price support
and all other special favors. Too long
it has been the custom to depend upon
political favors instead of conforming

This type of plywood is made
with a surface of old-growth
Western upland hemlock. The
raw logs are selected for their
relatively tight grain, brought
about by slow growth. The sur
face is resin sealed and slightly
pigmented with white in manu-
facture. This reduces porosity
to a point where one coat of
paint will cover.
Striking finishes can be OBJ
tanned with stains, lacquers or
two-tone paint wiping. In the
latter process either a light or

trasting or complimentary shade
for a second coat is wiped off,

The luxury of wood paneling.
once restricted by it's cost to
baronial halls and mansions of
the wealthy, has been brought
within the reach of almost every
home owner by fancy wood ve-
neers on modern plywood.
Light colored, cheerful and
beautifully grained veneer ply
woods have broadened the field
of interior decoration as extern
sively as they have rejuvenated
furniture design. Wide varieties
of rare, exotic and distinctively
grained woods used for the sur
faces of these modern panels
offer a big range for your choice.
You no longer are limited to
oak and walnut walls or to def
nitely informal knotty pine and
cypress boards. The same sworls
and natural growth markings
that distinguish blond furniture
can now decorate your walls. Vir-
tually pastel tintS serve to spread
light combined with the soft
warmth of real wood.

Wood veneer is about as old

1930s. These modern improve

have given US the use Of fine
wood for places where we never
could have used it otherwise.
Although thin sheets of deco
rative wood were shaved or split

woods in the days of Egypt's
pharaohs more than 5000 years
ago, the result was not ply

cross-grain layers to distribute
strength and combat shrinkage

PIywood With Embossed Grain Adds New Note

working tools, finds it easy to
panel a room. Veneer plywoods
in 4 by 8-foot sheets can be put
up right over old plaster and
nailed through to the studs, or
superimposed on leveled Turing
strips. In new work the paneling
can be nailed directly to the
framing. providing a quick and
sturdy dry wall. Joints between
panels are V-beveled or covered
with molding.
Novelty textures have further
widened selections in plywood
veneers. Previously described in
this department was the striated
surface with fine straight grooves.
When cut into precision meas
ured and beveled squares or tiles,
this material produced fascinat-
ing patterns enhanced by high
lights and shadows.
Now a new texture has been de-
veloped, taking advantage Of
nature and embossing the grain
OF the wood. This is accom-
plished by running the panels
through a machine with power
driven metal brushes. The soft
spring growth in the wood is
slightly gouged out, leaving the
harder summer growth standing
out in raised contrast.
We seldom realize that the in,
tricate grain patterns we see on
fine furniture were created by the
speeding up and slowing down in
the growth of a tree. When a log
is sawed straight across, the
rings of annual growth are easy
to see. When the log is split into
boards, the rings are shown in
stripes or waves. The light COL
ored part represents fast spring
growth-the dark shows the
slower, denser summer growth.
BY processing a slice of such
wood under metal brushes, the
depth of brushing is kept to a
minimum so that the wood grain
is brought out in subtle relief,

When the hold on his left arm was suddenly
withdrawn Seagrave swayed and almost fell
He saw Lang draw back pace and raise
his right foot in its high field boot. Here was
the old threat being made good, to kick him
right into hell. The fighting waters and
sharp-toothed rocks hundred feet below
were hell he had feared every time the
rivers best boatmen had taken him through
them. They were the toughest rapids on the
whole river.
WITH an effort that forced him to the
verge of Inconsistencies, he raised his right
arm. The damp sheet fell away and f1oated
down into the void He shouted, Keep
away from me, Lang!' and his right hand
lunged toward his enemy's face.
With sharp animal cry, Lang recoiled
like flesh from live fame. Poised for the
murder kick. he was caught off balance and
when he brought down his right foot to
steady himself it descended an inch beyond
the rock edge In space.
Writhing frantically, his hands up to pro-
tect his face, Lang fell Writhing frantically,
the weapon Seagrave had found and sum-
moned up courage to use, fell after him, the
slim rust-red snake with the yellow throat
which had crept back to spend second

And Lang's strong, hard hand pushed
under the net and grasped his left biceps,
which were as soft as jelly. Seagrave, with
new expression of agonized intentnesS on his
white face came stumbling through the net,
swaying on his feet and trailing the sweat
soaked sheet that clung to his right shoulder.
Without Lang's hand he would have
fallen more than once along the few yards of
uneven ground that led to the narrow rock
finger pointing across the river Every frac-
ton of surviving strength was concentrated
in his right arm and the fingers of his right
hand, which were as rigid as if they'd held

"A last message for Mary, perhaps?"
Lang asked, drawing him onto the jutting
tongue of black rock. The roar of the rapids
grew suddenly louder, and the white, tor
mented water came in sight below them.

preme effort of courage, did not answer. His
face in the slanting sunshine was CHASTITY

scious, to conserve the last Pickering rem
nant of muscle-power in his right hand, to
master his fear of menace as horrifying as
Lang himself.
