DAILY MEDITATIONS And Jesus answering said unto them, They that are whole need not a physician, but they that are sick, I came not to call the righteous but sinpers to repentance. Apostle St. Luke 31:32. " - Washington News Notebook | By PETER EDSON ! - NEA Washington Correspondent WASHINGTON-—One big cateh in trying to set tle the steel strike is that any agreement made to day would be good only until Oct. 16, 1946. That's when the existing contract is due to expire. The steel compunies claim this contract has been broker, but the union says the strike is over modi {ication of the existing contract. For o shart-term agreement, both sides could af ford to give ground now to keep reconversion go ing, with the understanding that further regotia tions would be carried on in the late summer for o new and longer contract. By that time, reconver sion will have shaken down and a better picture ‘can be obtained of what price levels and employ mont conditions are going to be for the next two vears. On the other hand, employers, claiming the present contract has been violated, may insist that a new loag-term contract be negotiated now. In a new coniract, they could ask for further puaran tees against work stoppages. BILBO SURE BET AGAIN Mississippi Democrats confess sadly that they don't see much chance of defeating Sepator Theo dore G. Bilbo’s race for re-election this fall. What really re-elects Bilbo to office is the solid oppo cition He has built up in the north. Everytime a bunch of Yankees issues a blast against Bilbo, it wins him more votes at home, where the nerthern criticism is resented. Huey Long’s greatest political asset, for example, was the cﬁﬁcism he got from north of the Mason and Dixon line, Bilbo’s C. 1. 0.-P. A. C. oppesition he ps him tremendously. If northerners would lay | ofl, the Mississippians might clean house them selves, Only real way to beat Bilbo, they say, is for enough leading southerners to unite against him. A COTTON RULED LIFE OF OPA ; ‘ Political maneuvering in the congressional fight against OPA’s proposal to put a eeiling price on raw cotton will be worth watching. OPA has sur vived during the war because the market price on cotton never got above parity and because of south crn sufferance, which wanted to keep down' the prices on northern products which the south also buys. But now southern congressmen are expected to line up solidly against a ceiling price on cotton, even il 1t should never be put into effect. Cotton states congressmen can easily make a bid for support from northern Republicans ‘who are under considerable pressure from businessmen to kill off all OPA ceilings. That might really cook the OPA goose. Leadership for such a move might well come from Senators Taft .and Wherry andl Congressman Fred A. Hartley of New Jersey, all OPA enemies. ’ “ Hartley is close to Lew Hahn, head of the Na tional Retail Dry Goods Association. Lobbies will be particularly strong. Ed O'Neal of the Farm Bu reau is a cotton planter, so his outfit will be against it. If the auto dealers are pulled in on this lobby, then pragtically every congressman would be un der pressure to kill OPA. Administrator Chester Bowles might even lose the vote of his best friend . in the House, Wright Patman of Texas. & = * Senator Harley M. Kilgore may get somewhere with his proposal to repeal the law giving tax re funds which in effect guarantee profits to cor porations whose plants are shut down by strikes. The argument is that, if corporations were not guaranteed this profit, they would be more anxious io settle sirikes. The eguity of the situation is that workers who go out on strike aren’t entitled to unemployment compensation. Therefore, employ ers whose plants are closed by strikes or lockouts should not get tax refunds. 5 It is estimated that 81 per cent of the people in the world have a real income of less than $lO per breadwinner per week. : . It is estiinated that American taxpayers have supplied more than 70 per cent of the $3,000,000,- U oo e e The Chinese Do It Better Phil Murray, Bill Green, John L. Lewis and others of our deep-dish labor leaders could prob ably take a lesson in strike technique from the transit workers of Shanghal, China. Shanghai’s streetcar and bus operators are on strike, but they’re st’ying on the job. They simply continue running their vehicles and refuse to accept fares from the passengers. That, we think, is pretty slick. It is particularly slick coming from a people whom most Americans consider backward and impractical, except in ‘such matters as pottery and painting and Confu cian philosophy. Maybe there is a touch of Con iucius in their strike. At any rate, it seems like a wohderful way to win friends and sympathy and inflence people to your cause. The strikers lose no more money than if they‘ were picketing. And since they ride instead ofil walk, they’re more comfortable. The company! loses more than if its cars and buses were stand ing strike-bound in the barns. And the public hasl a wonderful time. How would it be if we tried the same thing in this country? Telegrams (including the singing onesy would be on the house. So would long distance calls. Packinghouse workers would toss !chops and steaks like confetti to the cheering crowds. New cars would roll off the General Mo~ tors assembly lines and into the eager hands of a waiting multitude outside, with the compliments of R. J. Thomas, Walter Reuther, and the boys ‘and girls of the UAW. It would be just one long free load and chinaware night. And so on, ad infinitum and probably ad delir jum—though it is not our intention to be facetious. For our union leaders seem to be departing farther and farther from the policy of good sense exhibit ed in the Shanghai strike, and that is a serious thing. e The Shanghai strikers have confined their pro tests to the proper sphere. Their quarrel is with their employers. They are conducting the fight effectively, imaginatively and with a good humeor. The public not only escapgs any hardship, but must.also be delighted with the whole thing. Here in this country, the growing wave of strikes continues to hit the public harder than it does management. Millions of people with no direct or intimate eoncern with the warious disputes are getting heartily sick of the resulting annoying in convenience. Labor has nothing discernible to gain from such things as the recent telephone sympathy strike. The public already knows that labor is strong. It needs no more convincing like the phone tieup, a pointless and unwarranted demonstration of soli darity that was simply a pain in the neck that didn’t avail anyone anything. / ik We're Purer ' There may be a faint vindication of the “racial purity” theory to be found in the suicide of Dr. Leonardo Conti, recently made public. He was the Italian-sounding Nazi who helped promote thisl Nazi theory and who ordered the Kkilling of hun-—' dreds of thousands of foreigners and aged or in sane ‘Germans to put the theory into practice. Only when his master race was thoroughly whipped did this Jew-purger and experimenter on human guinea pigs decide to give up the ghost. This decision was the crowning achievement of his career. For the sadistic champion of racial!‘ purity has certainly left the human race purer by | his departure. \ A : o s, The Little Things Army pathologists have examined Mussolini’s | brain for a clew to:the behavior of that unsavoryi assortment of bellowing bull, braying ass and skulking jackal which was Il Duce. So far they’ve! found nothing extraordinary, but they are pre- | serving a five-ten thusandth of an inch sliver of | the brain for minute study and future reference. ! We don’t suppose that this ilny sample will be‘ very revealing. But wouldn’t it be ironical if,| from this infinitesimal pinch of organism, science! might discover what really accounted for the man who set the style in dictators, and encouraged | Hitler to ape him and surpass him and start a war | which was ended by the even more infinitesimal | atom? f | {ndia will not willingly submit to any empire or any domination.

American Hero Of Hong Kong Took Every Toriure The Japs Thought 0f But He Mever Broke The Faith | BY HAL BOYLE 5 HONG KONG, ¢#dan., 31 — (AP) — Chester Benunett, Amer ican Yaero of Hong Kong, was im prisoned for five months before a Japanese headman's’ axe end ed hig long misery. After his death, a Chinese who Ihad been a fellow prisoner conghi it Marene Na Silva. Por !tuguese lawyer who was Ben |nett’s pa“tner in' espionage, and gave him tae Aimerican’s last message: ! ““Marcus, I kept failth. I didn’t talk.” : Da Silva himse!f had been kept a prisoner icr ‘47 days in Kowloon Gendarmerie across Hong Kong harbos, most of the time in solitary confirement. The frustrated Japanese were unable to prove his part in the conspir acy or make him talk. When a Clinese gendarme finally tried to blackmail him by offering him freedom in reiurn for $5,000 Da Silva sent word out to his wife, who got in touch with one most of the colorful figures in China. : “She went to Hatltors, chief of the Jap Foreign Affairs Depart ment in Hong Kong, and com plained of %ais attempt to black mail me,” Da Silva said. “He re leased me and ordereq the Chi nese gendarme arrested.” Da Silva fled withh his family to Macao, nearby Portuguese colony, and realizing too late they had made a mistake in re leasing him the Japz sent four agentg to Macao on a fruitless mission to kidnap him and bring him back. Bennett Tortured Bennett was ruthlessiy tortur ed until is big framed body was broken by agony. The Japs starv_ ed him, beat him until he fell, and then stood himm up and beat him again. They tied him up by . his hands for fcurs until he‘ fainted. i Three times they tied him down to the floor and gave him “the water cure” for “prisoners who refuse to cooperate.” They sealed his mou%a shut and then tapegq a water hose {o his nos trils and bloated hig body with fluid while e fouht for breath. Then they put a board across aig stomach and two husky Jap guards planted a teeter-totter on it, forcing water and blood out his nose, his mouth, his eyes and his ears until he coliapsed. But, although hig big body writhed in agonized constrictions against his rope bonds, he never toid his secrets. Rope burns which developed on one leg became so bad the Japanese were about to ampu. tate ity when his execution was orde-ed. “The Japs never were able to prove spy aclivities against Ben- 1 /’/\‘ Mi A ! { } : N TN ; b S (I ; )| &l | [T mﬂli’*ﬁ i o LT S ':' 7 —— -_\‘ ; = I STEAK| ] AND = k| MEAT | | SAUCE l B W e {‘*gus 5 S ’nett,” ezid Da Silva. “But they had iearned from Chinese work:- erg on food trucks geing into the prison that he had smuggled money in to British internees.” The Chinese workers had brought out promissory notes from prominent internees 1o Ben nett, who cashed them wita wealthy Swiss and Indian trad ers and gent money back into camp so the prisoners could buy extra rations. : “Tough Police” “They probably wouldn’t have have executeq Shester for this (5 00 W TleiSmart, Thrifty Shopper CaxSY NorurallyZurns to >, \ ) 4 : \\\ T T ok R i gt pior BAKED 600 \\"\Q \ ‘ JANE PARKER | T X ] DUNDEE CAKE l ,7\ A /\&\ { 08320 T I i &- C ‘\\\3 b et MARVEL (WITH POPPY SEE®E) \ WAL T (i A oy L JANE PARKER PLAI | /\[/—%y é;MARVEL ENRICHED WHITE SLICEDSF, Don:ltsA\l .Dozen 16¢ ’ Q}\f'/ = f’Bread- e Mooty OCTAGON 3 Large Bars 14}' B e OCTAGON 2 13-ozCins.
