Support the RED CROSS VOL. XLIX No. 47

Teen Age Canteen This is the last of a series of

; four articles written by Bill Hays - about the Dart 'n' Arrow Canteen. Since the canteen was reopened in September, the children have conducted themselves in a splendid and cooperative manner, there having been during this period only one instance of serious violation of the by- " laws, as a result of which the offenders were tried and convicted by the canteen court and suspended for a time from its privileges. At the end of the sixty-day probationary period, the Board of Directors of the Corporation ordered that- the canteen remain open on a permanent basis. During the months of Decem- . ber, 1946, and January, 1947, daspite the efforts of the canteen members, the supervisor and the Board of Directors of the Cornoration, the Dart V Arrow did not make it's expenses. At the end of January, 1947. the canteen was in the red by around $50 and it was necessary, therefore, for the Board to close it in order to prevent the accumulation of a greater deficit.

'Just before this happened, however, the Board directed Mr. Orr and me to organize a Canteen Parents Association. I called upon Mrs. C. F. Briggs tot underi take the ' organization of this f -T. which she did. I believe " that ttiis association"" will be a decisive factor in the - ultimate success of the Dart V Arrow, It has already raised about $275 for the Dart 'n Arrow, which is being used to re-open the canteen and start its operation again, until such a time as a financial re-organization can be made on the basis of taxation, along the lines "heretofore mentioned. It was necessary for me to resign last week as president of the Corporation because of the pressure of other work, and on Monday, February 24, Mrs. C. F. Briggs was elected by the Board of Directors as president of the Corporation to fill the unexpired portion of my term until May 1, 1947. She has already entered upon her duties and the canteen is being re-opened. The employJment of a new supervisor is presently being negotiated. It is my belief that the importance to the community of the Dart 'n' Arrow has now been demonstrated to the extent that the citizens of Sullivan are taking a real interest in it's success. It's success will necessitate such an interest at all times. It is my belief that the Dart 'n' Arrow should be finincade through taxation in a manner similar to that which I have described; I do not think it will ever be self-supporting simply through sales of soft drinks' and sandwiches, although such sales will always supplement it's income. I believe that an extremely important factor in the success of

the Dart 'n' Arrow on a permanent basis is the employment as soon as possible of a full-time, trained supervisor; and sufficient money to do this can be attained only through taxation, I believe. A great many of the canteens throughout the state of Indiana are supported financially in this manner. Whether the Dart 'n Arrow will continue to operate in Sullivan depends upon the determinato see that it does. Surely, no one tion of the citizens of Sullivan can now doubt it's importance to the community.. One other thing it has been proposed by Mr. Allan Campbell, the Superintendent of Schools, who has all along given interested support and advice to the canteen work, that it would be a good idea for lunches to be served during the school week at the Dart 'n' Arrow for children who cannot go home for lunch.

upreme Court Finds Lew

Reduces Union Fine But Lewis Fine is Same

. WASHINGTON, March 6. (UP) The Supreme Court, m an extraordinary- decision by a vote of 7 to 2, today upheld the contempt of court charsres as-ainst John T,. Twis

and his United Mine Workers t ail's nation-wide coal strike. WASHINGTON, March 6. (UP) The United States today accused Russia of "unjust interference" in the internal affairs of Hungary by attempting to substitute a Communist dictatorship for the present freely elected government. The charge was made in a statement by the State Department. The statement followed the lines of a formal note sent to the Hungarian. Soviet, and British governments. The statement said that the United" States was "impelled at this point to express a feeling oj concern at the political crisis! which has been precipitated in Hungary." The United States said the pattern of recent political developments in Hungary appeared to deprive the right of the people of liberty and the government of their choice.

The Court also upheld the $10,000 fine against Lewis. It reduced to $700,000 the fine of $3,500,000 imposed on the union by the lower court, provided the United Mine Workers "fully complied" with the lower court order against it. Deliberate Refusal. Chief Justice Fred M. Vinson wrote the majority opinion. He said that Lewis and the UMW "deliberately refused obedience" to a valid court order, and "determined its validity for themselves." By so doing, he said, they "did so at their own peril." The Chief Justice said Lewis by his deliberate defiance of the lower court was attempting to "repudiate and override the instruments of lawful government." Because of the urgency of the case, the high Court handed down its decision without warning shortly after noon today. ' Ordinarily, high Court decisions are delivered only on Monday. Lewis Has Nc Comment. Lewis and the union had no immediate comment on the decision against them. The strike delay that Lewis ordered last December 7 to give the Supreme Court an opportunity td consider the case free from an atmosphere of hysteria and crisis, expires at midnight on March 31. 1 Must Obey Order. The reduction in the fine ordered by the Supreme Court is contingent on the union acceding to all the provisions of the injunction within five days of issuance of the High Court mandate in the case. Normally such a mandate is' not issued until twenty-five days after a decision is announced. To comply with the injunction the union apparently would have to cancel its original strike notice and agree it had no right to breach its contract with the government.

LIQUOR REFORM

GILL DEFEAT . INDIANAPOLIS, March 6. (UP) Chances for passage of Governor Ralph Gates' measure to divorce liquor from politics in Indiana appeared slim today as the 85th Indiana General Assembly entered its final hours. The defiant members of the House of Representatives said they would refuse to concur in a dozen Senate amendments and accused the upper house of killing the intent of the bill intentionally. The liquor control measure was debated in the Senate yesterday after the Republican majority came out of the fifth caucus in three days on the issue. The bill was passed by the House a week ago after rebellious Republicans threatened to kill the measure. Yesterday the Republican Sen- , ate passed on amendment after amendment they said would strengthen the bill.

Truman Warns Against Scrapping Low Tariff

1 WACO, Texas, March 6. (UP) President Truman, speaking to the nation from the heart of Texas, warned today that failure to continue the present United States policy of reducing trade barriers would invite international economic warfare. The President said there must

be freer trade if the world is to live at peace and declares that tariff cutting would not hurt American industry. Mr. Truman's immediate audience was the faculty and the student body of Baylor University, the oldest college in traditionally Democratic Texas, which presented him with an honorary Doctorate of Law. But it was obvious that his re marks were aimed at the states' men of the Republican party who

oppose government plans to Deen determined, coronor btannegotiate further tariff reduc- !ey B. Jewell said today. He is

tions with other nations this . year. Striving to protect his reciprocal trade proposals from Republi can attacks he said the reduction of trade barriers is a settled policy of this government and "one of the corner stones of our . plans for peace." ; The President warned those "who seek to undermine this policy for partisan advantages I and go back to the period of high tariff and economic isolation." The reciprocal trade agreement expires next year, but there has been a movement to amend jt before then. Senator Arthur H. Vandenburg, R., Mich., and Senator Eugene Millikan. R., Colo., worked out a plan with the Administration, an arrangement which they believe will prevent any tariff legislation this year. The speech carried a new appeal for bipartisan support for foreign economic, and political policy.
