“is still pondering about an answer he got frgm one of the local. stores recently, when he phoned for

some price information. Mr. Rouzer asked a girl’ who answered the phone in the men’s suit department if they had raised ‘the prices on men’s summer suits, She consulted with someone and on returning to the phone replied: “No, I'm sorry, they haven't been rasied.” _ After he hung up, Mr. Rouzer began to wonder just how her answer should be taken. We're inclined to agree with him that it is a little confusing. . . . There's a 1947 Studebaker around town that apparently already has a lot of mileage on it.

Primary Scoop

8ST. PAUL, July 3.—~The senatorial primary race between Governor Ed Thye and Senator Henrik Shipstead is being fought largely on. the internationalism vs. ‘isolationism’ issue. Results of next Monday's vote will be taken as a test. Yet there is an almost dizzying variety of cross currents involved. - » The Republican organization built up in recent years under ex-Governor Harold Stassen’s leadership is supporting Governor Thye and Senator Shipstead's hope lies in pulling together dissident elements often with widely dissimilar views. The isolationists will line up behind Mr. Shipstead, of course. So will conservatives in big farming and big business, and the. railway brotherhoods. So will a certain group hére violently opposed to Mr. Stassen and seeking to prevent a result which would reflect credit on him as would victory for Governor Thye. Yet these general lines are often crossed. Some who believe in the United Nations will vote for Senator Shipstead because to them he still wears the halo of the young progressive who became a leader in the early days of the non-partisan movement here in the northwest and who was a farmerlaborite in the years when that party was strongest. Some who are skeptical of the United Nations will vote for Governor Thye because he has been a real farmer, a good governor, or because they like

him personally.

Conduct Vigorous Campaign ° AGAIN, while the railway brotherhoods, which are strong here, have put on a vigorous campaign for Mr. Shipstead other sections of labor are for Governor Thye. The internationalism question has been a difficult one for some groups here in Minnesota. Many of her people especially among a large German bloc recall Europe as a place of military conscription, heavy taxes and other troubles. They fear possible involvement of the U. S. in Eumepeéan affairs on a permanent future basis. The Atlantic ocean is far from here and it looks large and protective, Critics of Senator Shipstead say that instead of providing a leadership to help resolve these questions in a day when oceans are in fact a meager defense boundary, and when the world must find away to maintain peace, he has exploited old fears and prejudices.

Tough Animals

BIKINI, July 5.—Five days after the atom bomb test here, 90 per cent of the animals on the target ships are still alive. ~~ The test killed 300 of the 3101 rats, 10 of the 150 pigs, and 10 of the 150 goats on the 73 target ships. However, Adm. W. H. P. Blandy, commander of Task Yorce One, said it was likely that the great majority of the normal crews of the ships would have been killed or put out of action if the fleet had been manned. The wartime crews necessary to ships would have totaled about 30,000. The resistance of the animals to radioactivity was one of the biggest puzzles of the test. Adm. Blandy said no safe deductions could be drawn for several weeks, because more of the animals may die. But he indicated he considers their ability to withstand the ‘first blast remarkable. One pig, aboard the Jap cruiser Sakawa which sank 26 hours after the bomb dropped, was found swimming in the lagoon the day after the ship went down.

The pig showed no ill effects of his long immersion’ °

in the radioactive water. Adm. Blandy jokingly said the radioactivity and the gamma rays might have given the pig additional strength and endurance.

to urge my readers to become familiar with Howard °

Fast’s “The American,” which I am just about half way through. Mr. Fast's book is the story of Pete Altgeld, but it might be the story of many another man during the civil war and after. It is also the story of the organization of the little man, the man who works with his hands for small returns. As we look back at those days, I think we can get some inspiration and satisfaction, for the little "man, through his sacrifices and his organization, has made gains. He still has to sacrifice and till has to organize, Thank God, he has had some big men with him from the start, The liberty which we celebrate on July Fourth is not as yet fully attained. The four freedoms we

pledged ourselves to strive for in the Atlantic charter,

are not fully attained at home or abroad. Who cart say here in our wonderful country that we have freedom from fear—either the fear of aggression or the fear of want? Who can say that we have real freedom of religion, so that all men can declare their beliefs and feel there will be no discripnination agatnet them because of those beliefs?

They point to his votes aaginst draft extension and other defense measures.

Takes Good Advantage SENATOR SHIPSTEAD is saying-that the world of the “wild-eyed internationalistsy is crumbling, that the Atlantic charter and four freedoms principles long since were repudiated, that the U. 8. is the victim of secret commitments forced by Soviet Russia and Great Britain, He is taking full advantage of difficulties among |

the allies in writing peace terms. He is saying that events today fully justify his vote against the United Nations charter. Governor Thye doesn't say that everything is pore} fect but he insists the United Nations is the best hope of peace the wogld has. Suppose the enemy had fully developed rockets and jet propulsion before the war, | he asks. | Where might the v. 8. be now? Or what might i happen to the U. 8. with atomic bombs in the hands | of an enemy? There is only one hope to meet these problems, Governor Thye argues. That is to provide a protective force under the United Nations, which will be so strong that no dictator will be able to wage war, The governor has been vigorously outspoken. in opposing communism. He points out that Senator Shipstead has advocaged bringing U. S. boys home from Germany, and contends this would play into Russia's hands in fastening communism on Germany, and in time perhaps on Scandinavia. He suggested Mr. Shipstead’s stand was a play for the German vote here. There had been some hope that Governor Thye and Senator Shipstéad could. be brought into direct debate on the same platform. Challenges have been flowing back and forth and Governor Thye charges the senator with backing out of one joint appearance. A debate probably won't come off but it would give! life to a campaign which despite the importance of issues discussed hasn't stirred up the state much.

his development is laid before us, and with it a picture of his times, so that we get a perspective. There is one point in the book I hope no one will miss. That is the fact that the gentle reformers— those of us who talk about doing things slowly, who are willing to face the truth about conditions and to talk- about them, but who are rarely willing to take the risk of being the leaders in the action that brings change—are with us today as of old.

Society Makes Criminals WE ARE not always as wise as Pete Altgeld in recognizing the time when a trend is on, and often before the trend exists there have to be men like Parsons—one of the labor leaders who had been falsely accused and hung after the Haymarket bombings—to awaken other men's consciences. " The speech of his wife, Lucy Parsons, could be addressed to many of us reformers today. “This is your society, you helped to build and create it, and it is this society that makes the criminal,” she cries. “A woman becomes a prostitute because it is a little better than dying of hunger. A man becomes a thief because your system turns him into ‘an outlaw. He sees your ethics, which-are the ethics of wild beasts, and yet you® jail him because he uses those ethics. And if the workers unite to fight for food, or a better way of life, you jail them too. And the sop to your conscience is reform, always reform.”

central Africa. Cases in the United States have been reported mainly from Louisiana, -Minnesota and South Carolina. Leprosy is also found along the coast, in persons who have come from other countries. Leprosy is not inherited, as normal children ‘are born of leprous parents (they are separated from their ‘parents). The disease is most common in persons between 20 and 50 years of age. The incubation period extends from several months to several years. » » » THE DISEASE usually starts as an ordinary infection, with fevers, aches and pains, and nasal symptoms. Shortly thereafter, large nodules form under the skin, especially on the back of the hands and feet, and on the face. Some of these lumps disappear without leaving any trace, while others remain and develop white patches over them. The hair is fre-' quently lost. As the disease progresses, some of the nodules may ulcerate, with a loss of fingers and toes resulting. A second variety of leprosy appears as patched on the skin and degeneration of the nerves. ' The skin is itchy and tingles, and sensation is lost later, as.the germs Invade the nerves. As sensation to heat, cold and touch leaves, patients burn or freeze their hands and feet before they realize what is happening.
