Canning Industry's
High Productivity
Benefits Americans

The average European works d
70 16 times longer than the aver
age Delaware resident to earn
enough money to buy a typical can
OF food, according to DR.. H. n
Mlchl, economist for American Can
Company. -
An American has to work only
II minutes to pay for a standard
can of peaches produced in the
United States, while it takes an
Engishman so minutes of work to
pay for a similar can Of fruit :"
SAID the economist for the contain
ef-making firm which developed
mass production can-making meth
0ds and canning machinery that
nave helped put U. S. canned foods
on the pantry shelves of virtually
every American home.
1t is a tribute to the produc-
tlVeness of our people and to Amer
lean Industrial and business in
genuity," he added, that it takes a

american only six minutes to earn
the money required to buv an aver
age can of peas"
The difference, he emphasized
lies in the high productivity Of
American industry and agriculture
which has made canned food a
staple in this country, while it re-
mains a high priced LUXURY
throughout the rest of the world.
Only a few generations ago. Dr.
Michl recalled, it took a can-maker
using hand tools IL minutes to
make a single food container. To-
day, automatic machines produce
as many as 5,4OO in the same time.
AS a result, the cans cost less and
the men who make them are better
paid, he pointed out.

There are number of diseases

Elaborate and costly equipment is
not required in the production of
hogs. However, some essentials are
necessary. The U. S. department of

also many very practical text books
available.

Conflict of Interests

Herbert A. Bergson, Assistant Attorney
General in charge of the antitrust division
under President Truman, says that he is the
victim of political indictment inspired by
Attorney General Brownell. This, considering
the personalities involved, is, to say the least,
a serious accusation.
The indictment charges Mr.. BergSon with
violating what is popularity known as the
conf1ict-of-interests statute This statute
applies to Government lawyers who resign to
enter private practice 1t makes it illegal for
them, within two years after reSigning, to
represent private client in any claim against
the Government concerning any matter in
which the lawyer acted for the Government
while still Federal employe.
Mr. Bergson protesting his innocence, says
that lin order to launch this prosecution
against me as a former official of preceding
administration, the Attorney General has been
compelled to engage in an outrageous and
unprecedented distortion of the plain language
of criminal statute :" This, in most
circumstances, might be dismissed as being
about what one would expect an indicted man
to say There are unusual circumstances.
however, in this case.
The indictment grows out of an interpre-
tation of the statute which the Attorney Gen.
eral issued last August q. In it's key phrase,
the law, which has never been construed by
the courts forbidS former Government lawyers
during the twO-year period from prosecuting
"any claims against the United States con-
corning any matter with which they were
directly connected while in Government service.
Mr.. Brownell says the words "any claims"
should be interpreted broadly enough to "en-
compass any matter in which the United States
has any interest whatsoever" He also suggests,
by way of Illustration, that the position of
former Government lawyer is comparable to
that of private lawyer who is ethically for
hidden "to accept employment in matters
adversely affecting any interest of former
client"
If Mr.. Brownell is saying here that within
two years, former Government lawyer may
not represent private client in any matter
which he handled while with the Government,
and which adversely affects" the interests OF
the United States, that is one thing. But if he
is saying that a former Government lawyer
in the same situation may not represent
private client in any matter in which the
United States has "any interest whatsoever"
that could be quite a different thing.
This, however is one of those cases which
will be decided on the questions of law involved,
for presumably there is no dispute as to the
facts If this is so the matter can be left to
the courts in full confidence that Mr.. BergSon's
guilt or innocence will be determined according
to law, and not according to any alleged political
Interpretation of the law.

DecentroIized Detection Pays

In setting up the new district system of
decentralized detective work recently Police
Chief Murray made a point of assigning to
the district squads men who were thoroughly
familiar with conditions and troublemakers in
their respective areas. He knew from his own
long experience a detective the value of
neighborhood contacts and knowledge of
potential suspects in certain types of crimes
Therefore, when the new third inspection dis
trict was created, Lieutenant James NJ Powell,
member of the Headquarters Robbery Squad
who had formerly operated in that area was
natural choice to head the special detective
unit for the district. The assignment of Lieu
tenant Powell to a section he knew so we'll paid
dividends in the solution of the robbery
shooting case of Miss Elsie Lemke last Saturday
night
Under his old headquarters assignment,
Lieutenant Powell might we'll have been con-
centrating on cases in other parts of Washing
ton when Miss Lemke was shot Fortunately
he was able to give immediate attention to a
holdup which, he soon discovered, had certain
aspects which brought to mind the method of
operation of an old offender in the Southwest
section. With the collaboration of Detective
Randall Degges, Lieutenant Powell arrested
repeater" Wilbert Allen Green, who subSe-
quently confessed police said.
Jack Webb of Dragnet fame might have
called it a hunch that paid off. The hunch
might never have developed, however, if some
one unfamiliar with the Southwest area and it's
list of law breakers had been given the respon-
sibility of investigating the shooting of Miss
Lemke.

today's man lives cut of from his fell
lowmen in very drastic way.
The more we holler about democracy,
the less we show of it; the more the
moderators moderate at set "open
house sessions, the more, we draw into
our shells because we feel lost in the
world we have created.
Not every one is too able to go around;
some even feel the futility of it, with
thousands of persons flying all around
the world, to what end?
One way for the quiet soul to journey
is In books, and he is helped in this
good travelling by the moderately priced
reprints.
There is no good reason, apparently,
why books need cost dollar hundred
pages; the very firm that puts out
300-page novel for So also issued the
same thing at the same time at 35 or
so cents.
The cheap reprints help every reader
keep up with an impossible procession,
since they enable him to catch some
of the good ones he has missed in the
hubbub.
He does this with an extra FLIP, too,
and this comes about in this manner:
He finds a good book in the last place
he might have thought to find it, a
drug store! Somehow this makes it
dolibly precious, as if he had rescued

Ghost Story

It is hard to find decent haunted house
these days. part of the reason may be that
there are few empty houses, and any haunt
with the proper spirit finds the greatest delight
in the cavernous echoes of vacant building.
There was time when one could ask of
any youngster directions to the nearest haunted
house. and it would be found within easy walk
ing distance. The haunted house became
testing ground for courage, and those with the
temerity to enter were looked upon with awe
and respect by their playmates. 1t was one of
life's greatest disappontments to learn at last
that the ghost in the old house down the street
was the figment of some ones imagination.
But those who can recall the frightS and
chillS of the neighborhood haunted house must
have felt twinge of envy for Sir Adrian Iver

Harry Dexter White Case

The precedent set by the Attorney
General in stating that Harry Dexter
White was Russian spy, and then
suggesting that Mr. Truman knowingly
promoted Russian spy in Government
service, is a disturbing one from the
standpoint of due process of law.
1t appears to me that the Attorney
General has judged man to be Rus
sian spy on the basis of FBI reports
Notwithstanding that the person so ac-
cused is dead and in no position to de-
fend himself. AS I understand it, Mr..
White never was charged. tried or con-
victed as Russian spy.
wish, therefore, to draw attention
to an opinion written by Justice Davis,
United States Supreme Court, in Elk
Parte Milligan, 1866, as follows: :" It
is the birthright of every American
citizen when charged with crime, to
be tried and punished according to law.
The power of punishment is alone
through the means which the laws
have provided. for that purpose, and if
they are Intellectual, there is an i'm
munity from punishment no matter
how great an offender the individual
may be, or how much his crimes may
have shocked the sense of justice of
the country. or endangered it's safety.
BY the protection of the law human
rights are secured; withdraw that pro-
lection and they are at the mercy of
wicked rulers, or the clamor of an ex-
cited people"
1t seems to me that high official, to-
wit, the Attorney General of the United
States, should have the discretion to
restrain himself. by this opinion. from
declaring that any person is a spy
without having subjected that person
to due process of law.
Martin Dunn.
Just why should you be so kind to
Harry S Truman? You know the FBI
told him that a Soviet agent was op-
Grating from the White House itself.
H. S T.. denounced it all by calling it
"red herring"
James w. Farmer.
If the FBI knows who the spies are,
why do we need Mccarthy or other
special congressional investigations?
Aren't there enough laws on the books
to jail the Communists or foreign
agents? What we seem to need more
than anything else is more efficient
prosecution and better Attorney Gen
eral action. What is the purpose of
Brownell's statements? Has Truman
broken any laws?
It seems to me that these congress
sional Investigations instead of being
fact finding have deteriorated into a
means of securing publicity for aggres-
