Hitting the Trail to Moscow

Russian and Chinese Com
munist governments have not
the slightest intention Of
lowering their guard. The
armed forces needs for the
most modern equipment Of
their vast armies still have
top priority.
Red China, in particular, is
most anxious to open the food
gates Of international trade In
order to acquire-mostly on
credit-large quantities Of in
dustrial equipment from the
outside world. Russia is In q
better position but still is anx-
ious to purchase from the In
dustrial West electrical and en-
gineering equipment and some
consumers goods. The Western
captains Of industry from
Frankfurt to New York see in
this an opportunity they have
been seeking for many years.
So long as the United States
remained the arsenal Of de-
nocracy, producing free and
gratis military, agricultural.
and industrial equipmentS for
our allies, there was no dam
ger Of any major industrial
and economic crisis.
But since the end Of the In
tercontinental strife appears to
many to be in sight. new mar
kets are necessary for the
Western industries to avoid .
depression which might have
far-reaching political and So
cial consequences. Hence the
prospect Of providing the USSR
and China's Peoples Repub-
lie" with the latest industrial
equipment and other essen
tials TO ease the internal sit
uation is q highly desirable
carrot to ali Western industrial
lists. And this Is exactly what
the Reds were driving at In
their intense "coexistence"
campaign. They intend to give
up none Of their political goals.

In those days, chief public

subject of bitter controversy.
Over these the Democratic
Party was sharply divided.

chairman in a later period.
Now, in this era, issues Of
war and peace have become
paramount and the Senator
arouses the support and praise
Of political elements within his
own party which once fought
him bitterly on economic and
social reform issues. The Sen
ator chose to become head Of
the Foreign Relations Commit
tee in this 84th Democratic
Congress, though he could. in
stead, have become chairman
Of Finance, for which he also
was In line.

It is q record Of discord on
vital issues that can AFFECT the
prosperity Of the country for
generations to come. It is o
dramatic example Of the mis-
take made by the American
people in electing q Democratic
Congress at q time when q
Republican administration had
been elected for q four-year
term to control the executive
branch of the Government.

In the boastful publicity an
nouncements naturally stress
the fact that the Democratic

President on foreign policy

and the Nation has hitherto
not believed medals should
be bestowed because Of such
manifestations Of traditional
patriotism.
It is on the domestic side
that the "cold war" between
the President and the Demo-
cratic majority has been car
ried on. There has been some
friction between the President
and q few members Of his
party but, If the American
people had given a working
majority to the Presidents
party In 1854, the handful Of
dissenting Republicans could
not have been influential.
Sectional issues and local
considerations always cause
some defections in q majority
party but Id many instances
the Democratic Party in Con-
gress voted almost sohdly
against the administration on
key issues.

Congress forgot the men who
risk their lives for America.
They forgot the commanding
officers who have tremendous
responsibilities, including the
handling of billions Of dollars
of Government property.
One dispatch by the United
Press in particular is worth
quoting. It reads as follows:

evidently forgot that men who

Sealed Home
Can Save $40
On Fuel Bills

There's no such thing as putting a
paddock on your house to prevent
the escape of heat in cold weather.
But it is perfectly possible to seal
your home slight" this summer and
save up to Ga percent on your fuel bill
next winter.
The engineering experimental sta
tion of the University of Minnesota
calculated that typical 2-story, g.
room house without insulation, wea-
therstripping, or storm sash, loses 33
percent of its heat through exterior
walls; 33 percent through ceiling or
roof; "a percent through glass and
doors; and 10 percent through leak
age and infiltration.
Heat Steals Away
No matter how solid the construc-
ton, heat inevitably steals away and
runs up the fuel bill, but insulation
properly installed in the typical house
can reduce the heat loss through
exterior walls by &C percent and
through the ceiling and roof by 78
percent.
A minimum of 3 inches of mineral
wool insulation installed in the walls
set up an effective barrier to the es-
cape of heat and keeps the inside
surface of the walls nearly equal ir
temperature to the roof itself. In ex-
listing houses, the mineral wool is
blown into place. In new construction
insulation is generally installed in the
form of blankets or bats.
Attic Insulated
In a finished attic, the undersid'
of the roof deck is insulated with 3
inch bats or blankets placed be
tween and stapled to the rafters. Il
an unfinished attic, blankets or batt'
are installed between the floor joists
or loose wool can be blown betweel
the joists to a depth of A inches.
Storm windows and storm doors cal
reduce the heat loss through glass
and doors by As percent, and goo'

infiltration and leakage through
windows by so percent.

was that enthusiastic about the new
town.
Williams was shrewd, an expert
hunter and successful hunter had
ideals all his own. He lived for 40
years in the neighborhood and for the
last % of it was the ruling power
of the region. He died in 1910 where
most of his life he had ruled.
When Louis Philippe, later King
Louis XIV, King of France, was
refugee travelling incognito in
America he wandered into Williams
tavern at the forks and asked for a
nights lodging. He found fault with
the wilderness inn and complained
that it was not fit for a real king.

had entertained lot of them. Then
he ordered him out and emphasized
the exit with a kick in the seat of

A lot of stories had been told
about Charles Williams, many of
them by himself. When that about his
kicking the king leaked out many
persons did not believe it but it
made him bigger man in the eyes OF
the people around Coshocton never
theless. After that instead of usually
being referred to as Old Charlie he
was nicknamed King Charlie.
Williams story was verified, how
ever, by G. w. Silliman, who was
sent to Paris by his uncle, Lewis Cass,
secretary of state, with dispatches to
the American minister there. Silliman
was Coshocton lawyer and told the
story when he came back.
Louis XIV complained to Silliman
that he had been shabbily treated at
the forks tavern when refugee in
America. The affair came near to pre-
cipitating an international incident
but was ignored after King Louis
