Will Curry isn't falling for those pictures of a postwar life of ease. He was sweating over his lawn mower the other day, when somebody shows him pictures of a mower that runs under its own power. "Shucks," says Will, “I like a lawn mower that gives you some backtalk anti exercise. It gets the old blood circulating and works up a wonderful thirst. “Then," Will adds with zest, "there's nothing in tho whole world that tastes as good as a, cheerful glass of beer!

From where I sit, there’s a lot of good sense in what Will saysA little honest effort never hurt anybody. And there should be more to our post-war plans than how to make life comfortable and easy. Outdoor work —work you a® with your hands and your back -ought to be part of everybody’s post-war plans. And on a hot day, as Wil! says, there’s always that sparkling glass of beer as a " w °""

Upholds Seniority Rights 01 Veterans Job Rights Upheld By Federal Judge

New York, Aug. 30 —(UP)—Federal Judge Matthew T. Abruwo upheld job seniority rights pf veterans today in a decision granted in a test case brought by Abraham Fishgold, a former serviceman, against the Sullivan Drydock and Repair Corporation of Brooklyn. The case involved interpretation of veterans' seniority rights under the selective service act. Answering arguments of the company’s counsel, Abrozzo declared “there was no ambiguity about the act that took the veteran into the army forces.” "This act now saves the veteran his pension, his insurance and his (social security," Abrozzo said. "In my opinion, Congress intended to give the veteran all the rights he left when he was called into service and the statute passed by Congress supersedes collective bargaining contracts." Fishgold, 28, sought in a civil suit to collect $96.40 which he claimed the company owed him for a lay-off at the yard when a nonveteran employee with higher seniority was given work in preferi ence to him. I At the time of Fishgold’s lay-off, j local 13 of the industrial union of j marine and shipbuilding workers lof America, (CIO), bargaining representative of the workers, claimled the veteran should stand his ’ "regular turn” in seniority. I M. H. Goldstein of Philadelphia, 1 : union attorney, asserted in court ' (that the selective service act 1 I clause guaranteeing veterans the 1 same jobs they held when they 1 [ went to war was "ambiguous.” | _ SOPHIA BULTEMEIER’ J (Continued From Page One) 1 lat 2:30 o'clock at the church, with j I the Rev.

Polio Epidemic At Rocklord Subsiding Only Two New Cases Reported Wednesday I- Rockford, HL, Aug. 30—(UP) i i- The Rockford-Winnebago county I ■- infantile paralysis epidemic con- j i tinued to subside today as hospii tai officials said only two new I , cases were reported yesterday. 1 This brought the total number j of city and county polio victims I ( i to 206. Only four additional cases r have been reported in Rockford ( since Monday, making the city's ( > total 119. County cases number- , - ed 87, a'n increase of eight since • Monday. i One death was reported yester- < day, that of David Lee Potter, 13, . of suburban Rockford, raising the . fatality mark to 26. Seven of the . dead were patients brought in from . oilier counties. No additional outside cases were brought in yester-> day. , In nearby Freeport, where a spe-i ( cial polio ward was set up Tues-1 < day. Mrs. Patricia Krull. 26, Dixon, 111., also died yesterday. One new ; patient was admitted to the St. Francis hospital, raising Hie Steph-1 1 enison county case total to 16. 1j MARTIN BORMANN, J (Continued From Page One) ■■ while Adolf Hitler was not. Hit- { f let 's body never has been found. 1 1 An American war crimes com- | g mission spokesman confirmed ; g that Bormann had not been cap- Itured by American occupation for- ■ ces and said he had been assured ■ by British war office sources that g the suspect was not in British ; custody. American investigators in Eur- ■ ope were reported to have uncov- g ered evidence recently indicating g that Bormann was still alive. Bormann was believed the last ' man with Hitler and his 11th hour S bride, Eva Bratinn, in the head- g quarters bunker at Berlin where the couple reportedly killed them- i selves and had their bodies burn- j B ed. B Bormann also signed the last g message from the reiehsehancel-i lory in Berlin to Grand Admiral . Karl Doenitz, Hitler's self-pro- B claimed successor. g Only a few days ago British I headquarters in Germany issued I _ an official statement that nothing " further was known about Bor- I B mann. g Some reports in Berlin said _ that he was killed by Russian guns just before Berlin's collapse, B others said that he was shot down ■ while attempting to escape across g the Spree. British sources have : always maintained that if Bor- i - mann had died or been captured, 1 1 it took place in the Russian zone. However there has always been some belief that Bormann might ’ = have hidden himself in the vast I J prisoner of war cages and, withil 1,500,000 German troops still to j j be discharged, it was possible i that he had only recently been if discovered. | In Rome, justice Robert Jack ! | son told the United Press last i j night that no date has yet been ; g set for the war criminal trials l| but that they probably will be 11 held in the “late fall.” ij “As yet we don't have the in-j| dictment ready," Jackson said, l! "We have tons and tons of evi- ! I dence assembled which must be . | classified and sorted.” j 0 11 Margarine Preparation Most margarines today are pre :' pared from bland, deodorized veg- 11 etable oils.

This is approximately 15 percent of the $300,006,600,000 spent by the U. S. for war. ) The latest >eve£se lend-lease figure is through March 30 —$5,j 600,364,000. Os that virtually all was furnished by the British empire and $3,777,38.3,000 by the

united kingdom alone. + The British empire was by lai the largest recipient of lend-lease with more than $29,000,000,000 on the books against her. Lem • lease exports of goods not including services show that 42 percent or $13,498,748,000, went to the united kingdom. Twenty-eight percent of the exports went to Russia. ___—— —— AMERICAN TROOPS (Continued From Page One) overt act by their countrymen. Wainwright In Manila Manila. Aug. 30— (VP) ~* Lt ’ Gen.
