* A war with Russia would put American labor under rigid controls and end its demand for a “finger in the pie,” which General Motors so loudly and expensively (in full-page newspaper ads) deplores. American labor and British labor could be silenced and used to help the international cartels get possession of the Russian resources and eliminate the last barrier to their absolute control of the world. So they reason. They do not foresee the inevitable consequence of another war—chaos, Communism and anarchy. There would be no church spires rising from that diseased, degraded and devastated world. All this is being promoted in the name of a free enterprise that refuses to sell Henry Kaiser steel for his automobiles because Kaiser signed a union contract. Free enterprise to the steel industry evidently means the freedom to kill competition and maintain a monopoly. Labor should scrutinize closely any man or organization that advocates war with Russia, or anybody else. If it looks closely enough it will unquestionably see the same old faces that hid behind the bed sheets of the Ku Klux Klan, that glowered with hatred at meetings of the Ger-man-American Bund, that spread sedition under the patriotic slogans of America First and that neyer missed a chance to brand organized labor as Communistic.

The difference in value to every man’s child between a good education and a mediocre education cannot be measured by the few cents on the tax rate. Superintendents and boards of education should hold in mind that they have been brought into existence to finance and operate a school. If the objective of school administration is to save money, then we should close the schools and save all the money. The view of teaching as a technical job, the mission of the school to educate each individual rather than a vague mass of human beings, and’the wise economy of an educated citizenry all must become keystones to our thinking if we are to have what we really need in education.—The Indiana Teacher.

few months.

Of course Russia hasn’t helped matters any by her rough and realistic approach to the problems that confront her. But hearing all this war talk from the United States, what would you expect

her to do?

She is doing exactly what any other nation would do under similar circumstances. She is getting ready. She is extending her frontiers. She is developing her heavy industry. She is increasing her military power. She is seeking the secrets of the weapons we are talking so freely of using against her. If it is to be war, Russia will be ready for a conflict that will leave American cities in ruins and rim the horizons with the graves of American soldiers. Maybe we could win it but at a price that would wipe free enterprise from the face of the earth and promote an age of godlessness unprecedented in history. From the ashes of such a tragedy, Germany might rise again, unchallenged by her two major enemies who had beaten each other into exhaustion. Do you begin to see where all this is leading? And remember that some of our largest and richest corporations had such intimate ties with German industry that their international obligations to Germany transcended their fidelity to their

own country.

Germany is attempting to rebuild these cartels. Her secret list of trusted friends throughout the world number^ 12,000,000 names. It was discovered but not revealed by our agents in Ger-

many.

These 12,000,000 are not boobs or bums. They probably include some of the smartest and most ruthless business men in the world, scattered in key spots throughout Spain, Argentina, England, Canada and the United

States.

They stirred up a “spy plot” in Canada that set the stage for Winston Churchill’s speech in Missouri last month, advocating an imperialistic military alliance of Great Britain and the United States against Russia. They are out in the open now. Don’t forget that American industry shuddered when labor won the last election in England and sent Churchill out on his ear. Now they propose a scheme that would put Churchill back in power as the saviour of the world against Communism. The chief diffefene'e between this program and Hitler’s is that Hitler said it in German. We had to translate it. Now it is being said in English with the President of the United States sitting on the platform, while Churchill spoke. Churchill is generally recognized as the spokesman for the industrialists of England who espouse cartel agreements with German and American monopo-

lies.

They are even attempting to rebuild Germany as a future-ally in a war with Russia that they boldly plan. Why do they do this? For two reasons. First, Russia has most of the natural resources of the world. Unless those resources can be controlled, no international cartel can succeed. Russia could break the monopoly. Secondly is the fear that if Russia succeeds in raising the

holders of most of the wealth of this nation and their hangers-on.” “No greater tribute has been made to the memory of Franklin Roosevelt than the desparate efforts being made by this motley crew to villify him even though he is in his grave,” Savage said. PUBUCAWAKE (Continued From Page One) herited unchanged from the ancient Chinese. Every attempt to adjust the school to the needs of the child, or to test and measure boys and girls with a view to adjusting their education, likewise have met the ridicule and opposition of those who do not grasp the real mission of public educators, throughout the depression years to preserve many of these essentials of a modern school have indeed been costly to them in terms of their own security and even

their own jobs.

It is not a question now or at any other time whether we can afford adequate public education. It is a simple first premise that we cannot afford a poor school. We cannot afford qs individuals to condemn our boys and girls to an inferior place in the contest that they will enter upon graduation. We cannot afford to have political and social questions facing our States, our Nation, and the world decided by masses of uneducated people herded into their decisions by the lovely voices of demagogues. We cannot afford as a nation to see the Soviet Union, the British Empire, or any other of the peoples of the earth lift the technical skills and abilities of their people above our own. And lastly, if we value our lives and the way of life we have come to esteem, we cannot afford to see the schools of our country or any country enter upon any course that will fail to equip youth for world citizenship. The problems and the objectives are mighty, but the things that must be done by each of us are relatively small things. The mighty problems can be solved if each citizen will do his part to uphold the hands of the school and its constituted leadership. Every man and woman interested in widespread education of the masses with a zeal that approaches the fanatical. When one reflects upon the tremendous influence of the Nazi system of education in transforming Germany in seven years into a fanatical fighting machine, one cannot but hesitate to contemplate what the giant Soviet Union will become in an industrial and commercial sense, to say nothing of the military, in the few years

ahead of us.

At this moment the United States is the accepted commercial and cultural leader of the world. The perspective, the inventive genius, the initiative which have caused America to forge into such a position of world leadership have been, generated in large measure in the free democratic schools of this country. Every advance in the public school in the direction of equiping boys and girls to keep books, to type, to repair automobiles, to learn the practical arts required for living have been violently opposed by groups of our people whose conception of public schools is ingood schools should let his superintendent and board of education

On the opposite side of the rose garden from the house is the Franklin D. Roosevelt library, which was built of native stone before the President’s death, and which he also dedicated to the

nation.

The flower beds ring a centuryold hemlock hedge that forms a protective wall about the rose garden, completely obscuring the large white tombstone of Imperial Danbury marble which was made to Mr. Roosevelt’s specifications. This was the scene of the dedication ceremonies at which President Truman spoke, and which were broadcast. Also on this April 12, there was a memorial broadcast which everyone who loves and reveres the great President will want to hear. NBC carried the program which gave excerpts from his own speeches—notably the unforgettable 1933 inaugural address, the Declaration of War Message to Congress, and the Jefferson Day speech which was never delivttered. The two previous speeches were recordings in the President’s own voice. Narrators for this special memorial program were Carleton Smith, Ed Herlihy and Ben

Grauer.

finance British aggression in Indonesia, India and a dozen other parts of the world.” Conscription Is Danger The United States has been “off on the wrong foot” ever since the war ended, because of a mistaken foreign policy, Ludlow said. “We talk glibly of peace but our foreign policy is moving us constantly in the direction of war.. We are doing a lot to create a war psychology, and practically nothing to foster a peace psychology. “Instead of moving toward an accord among nations, we have gone ahead piling up atomic bombs, developing instruments of mass slaughter, and trying to force on the country a year’s compulsory military training for all

our youth.

“All that incites world suspicion and stimulates another armaments race, the logical ending of which will be another world war.”

President Winner On Housing Issue President Truman this week achieved a victory on the housing issue when the Senate Banking and Currency Committee put back into the Patman bill the provisions for control of prices on old and new houses and building lots and also subsidies on building materials. Defeated in the House by powerful lobbies of the real estate interests, these proposals, the White House contends, are the heart of the emergency housing program, which has a goal of 2,700,000 new dwellings by the end of next year. Senator Alben W. Barkley of Kentucky led the fight for these provisions in the committee and is ready to go to bat for them when the bill, which was favorably reported, reaches the Senate floor.

LUDLOW SEES 3RD WORLD WAR

Hoosier Solon Warns That We Are Doing Little To Promote Peace

“Here is your hat. Please go home and stay there!” That’s what we should say to foreign propagandists, “whether they come from England, Russia or any other country,” Congressman Louis L. Ludlow, (Dem., Ind.) declared this week in a speech to the House. Few men are so well qualified as Ludlow to size up events and their meaning. For 45 years he has occupied a “ringside seat” in the arena of national and international developments, first as a hard-working Washington newspaper correspondent, and then as a member of Congress. “We should not permit agents of any foreign governments to use America as a sounding board to drum up another war,” Ludlow continued. “The ill-advised speech of former British Prime Minister Winston Churchill was an ugly exhibition of power politics. President Truman would have been applauded by 140,000,000 Americans if he had arisen immediately after Churchill concluded and had said: “ ‘Our distinguished guest completely misunderstands the spirit of America. We intend to be a good neighbor to all the world. We are not going to tie ourselves to the fortunes of any foreign power.’ “Surely we are not going to guarantee the British Empire and

Legislation providing for a Federal health insurance program came before the Senate Education and Labor Committee this week after years of struggle by President Truman and others who believe that even the poorest of the American people are entitled to the services of doctors, dentists, occulists and hospitals. The bill would make such services available to all, by a system supported by all. Everyone would still be free to pick his own doctor, but the bill is bitterly opposed by the American Medical As-

sociation.

Hysterical Propaganda Claiming to speak for the doctors, that association is spending large sums on lobbyists and advertisements which grotesquely misrepresent the proposed system as “state medicine.” The fight for the measure has been led in the Senate by Senator Robert F. Wagner (Dem., N. Y.), who has “fathered” almost all the Federal social security legislation now on the books. In the House, Congressman John D. Dingell, Democrat from the Detroit district of Michigan and former trade unionist, has long struggled to keep the bill from being buried by the powerful Ways and Means Committee. Taft Shouts “Socialism” As soon as the Senate Education and Labor Committee began its hearings on the measure, Senator Robert A .Taft (Rep., Ohio) denounced it as “Socialism.” That angered the chairman of the committee, Senator James E. Murray (Dem., Mont.), who is a strong supporter of the bill. He protested against attempts to discredit it by tacking on the Socialist or Communist label. When Taft continued to interrupt, Murray threatened to have the sergeant-at-arms throw him out. This would have set a precedent in Senate procedure, but Taft avoided a showdown by walking out. Bitter Battle Ahead The committee then heard W ag-

Mrs. Eleanor B. Snodgrass, Director of the Indiana State Probation Department announces that the State Probation Commission will hold two examinations this year to qualify persons to serve as probation officers in all courts of the state. The first of these examinations will be held Wednesday, June 19, 1946 at Room 310 State House, Indianapolis, Indiana. The examination is open to anyone desiring to enter probation work. It is necessary that each applicant file a preliminary and a final application form. These are passed on. by the State Probation Commission. Anyone interested in taking this examination may procure a preliminary application form, by writing or calling at Room 310 State House. It is important that all applicants remember that May 11th will be the deadline for returning the preliminary form to the State Probation Department. Since the new Juvenile Court Laws passed in the General Assembly of 1945 went into effect April 1st, 1945, it is now mandatory that “in each and every county of the state having a population of less than one-hundred thousand 100,000), the judge of the court having juvenile jurisdiction shall appoint one (1) chief probation officer and may appoitn one (1) additional assistant probation officers for every additional twenty-five thousand (25,000) population” and since the law also provides that “probation officers w ; ho are to receive salaries shall be appointed from eligible lists secured by competitive examinations,” the Probation Department is asking the co-operation of the judges in seeing that each county send some one to take the examination in order that there may be a certified list in each judicial circuit from which the judge may make

his choice.

At the last examination held November 29, 1945, twenty (20) additional counties were provided with an eligible list. The Department very much desires to provide each of the ninety-two (92) counties with a certified list when the June examination is

concluded.

Compromise In Draft Bill Seen

Washington, D. C. — The army was reported willing today to accept a compromise which would keep the draft law on the books but suspend inductions long enough to see if volunteer recruiting would work. The report, which would provide an eiection-jittery Congress a way out of its draft dilemma, came as both the House and Senate Military committees were scheduled to vote on whether to extend Selective Service beyond May 15. Committee members said the army wanted to keep the Draft Act on the books but would be willing to accept a moratorium on inductions for from four to six months—the elections are Nov. 5 —if, the compromise gave the President authority to renew inductions after the suspension period if volunteer enlistments failed to meet army manpower needs. House Democratic Whip John J. Sparkman, of Alabama, said he was “certain” the army would accept the compromise. Sparkman has been leading the fight in committee for the full year’s draft extension requested by the

army.

The recruiting program would run six months until Nov. 15. If this plus the higher pay failed to attract sufficient volunteers, the President could declare that the national emergency existed and invoke the draft for one year un-

til Nov. 15. 1947.

President Truman and representatives of the army and navy repeatedly have requested a oneyear extension of conscription. They argue that it is the only way to keep the nation strong, and

maintain the peace.

Army Chief - of - Staff Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower appeared before the Senate Committee yes terday in a last-minute plea for

draft extension.

Eisenhower conceded that 18 year-olds were not good police men. At the same time, he said they should not be excluded from

any draft.

Every Citizen May Get T. B. Test, Goal Indianapolis, Ind. — The eventual examination of every citizen of Indiana as a part of a etatewide tuberculosis control program was the goal today of the State Board of Health. Dr. Holland Thompson, director of the board’s division of tuberculosis control, yesterday announced plans for a program which he said would provide optional free chest x-ray examinations for all Hoosiers. Thompson told delegates to the spring conference of the Indiana Health Officers’ Association here that the anticipated program would cost an estimated $240,000. A dozen or more portable x-ray machines would be necessary, he said, to enable the board to examine persons in all parts of the

state.'

He said three portable machines and one mobile trailer type machine were on order now with delivery expected immediately. Thompson said the project “will give us the lead we need to whip tuberculosis.” Thompson said the health board hoped to examine every citizen of Indiana within five years. The examinations would not be compulsory, he said. The health officers conference concluded today.

Veterans’ Regime In State Worst

Indianapolis, Ind. — Charges that the Indianapolis Veterans’ Administration hospital was “one of the worst in the country” were voiced by an American Legion official today. Dr. Hyman D. Shapiro, chief of the medical advisory staff of the Legion’s National Rehabilitation committee, said inadequate facilities and a backlog of applicants which he said approached the 1,500 mark prompted the state-

ment.

Dr. Earl H. Hare, head of the V-A’s medical staff here, said the local hospital contained 429 beds and that 408 patients were admitted last month. Dr. Shapiro sqid the report of the hospital was “gilded.” He said the waiting list was more than 1,000. o Raw materials for the Tyrian purple dye, manufactured by the ancient Phoenicians, came from crushing the sea snail, Murex, found on the Shores of the Mediterranean Sea. In the days of the Roman empire, Tyrian purple cost more than $150 a pound and only the noble could afford such a luxury. That’s the origin of the expression, “born to the purple.” But today superior vat dyes sell for about $1 a pound.

Professor Zogi, the magic ■>, came to our town Saturday r. ■ I put on a performance for the benefit of the Orphanage. It was quite a show! Among other things, the professor holds a pitcher in his hands, and asks folks what they’d have to drink. Ma Hoskins asks for buttermilk and the professor promptly pours her a rich, creamy glassful. Then Zeb Collins asks for cider, and out of the same pitcher comes a mug of cider. Doc Hollister next calls for beer—and presto, from

tbo pitcher comes a sparkling glass of beer, white collar and all! “Just goes to show,” says Doc, astonished, “that it takes a magician to satisfy all tastes.” From where I sit, the professor has a mighty good act... one that points a moral too.
