No Law Against Progress . - Ownership and operation of a coal mine is but a small part of the whole picture when it comes to producing coal for 11 .. . A J 1 1 J t T . j l

me nation. Actual production aepenas on many laciors apart from: the coal industry. It is the buyers of fuel who,- in the last analysis, keep the coal industry functioning, Both John L, Lewis and the coal mine operators have to satisfy their needs in a competitive market before they can prosper. No better example of this can be offered than a seemingly insignificant item that " appeared recently . in newspaiers. It said: "Officials of United Mine Workers declare they will fight in the state legislature the Pennsylvania' Railroad's plans to replace some coal-burning locomotives with Diesel engines. According to the union officials, every time a steam engine is driven off the railroads, two miners are out of jobs. The railroad's 25 new Diesels will cut coal demand 2,750 tons a day." The Pennsylvania is only one road that is adding Diesel locomotives. Without going into the merits of the Diesel eiiguve as compared with coal burners, there is no question but that the highhanded tactics of the United Mine Workers in causing the country to suffer from annual strikes and coal shortages have been one of the greatest incentives to developing the Diesel locomotives. The United Mine Workers may be able to force their demands on the coal industry but they cannot force the public to endure hardships if it can find fuel substitutes for coal. As almost every industry in the country has been, more or less dependent oh coal for its operation, Mr. Lewis' tactics are forcing the use of substitute fuels to prevent interruptions, in operations. It is time for the United Mine Workers to realize they are cutting their own throats through their policy of boosting costs regardless of the effect on coal's markets.

Sir,

It might, perhaps, be advisable,

before our "anfi-Communist patriots" pronounce final approval

on President Truman's plan for

ridding governmental agencies of "subversives",' to ponder upon some of the' provisions of this plan, as reported.

Under this executive order, as

wordsd: .

(1) The list of organizations

finally determined to be "subversive" is not authorized to be made public, and may never be officially released. In other words, an organization may be on the blacklist and never know it.

(2) When an employee is disnissed as "disloyal'' the investigating agency may withhold the sources and details of the charges. This provides for a handicap under which the employee will find the greatest difficulty .in preparing an adequate defense. The implications of this provision are far-reaching. Conceivably, the mildest liberal could be dismiss ed, and he, , not knowing the

charges, could do nothing about it. . . - The whole business is a dan-

serous one, but these "secret provisions increase the danger a hundred-fold. Wisely remember, thou Patriots whose voices go atremble at the mention of the word "Communist", that neither did Hitler have to explain his actions to his Jew,, democrat, liberal, and radical victims. Sincerely, Jack T. Stokes, 733 E. Jackson St., Sullivan, Indiana.

'Jelly X' Ointment Hailed As Boon In Treating Burns .' CLEVELAND (UP) An ointment with astounding properties for burns, known only as "Jelly X," has been developed at Huron Road Hospital here. A topical ointment so new that no scientific papers have been written on it, "Jelly X" is said to

be a very versatile medicament, i Claims for the' jelly say if will I act as a local anaesthetic; if is antiseptic and dams the outflow) of tissue fluids. - - j Benefits recorded are: the checking instantly of pain from' burns, the elimination of infec-: tion danger and the warding off of ever-present shock. Healing is

speeded, accordingly, from these benefits. Prevents Scars.

Doctors here also claim that, the salve has a "cosmetic value," j in that it prevents scars altogeth-. er in first and second degree burns, and reduces depth and breadth of scars in third degree

burns. Research with "Jelly X" has been going out at the hospital for some sbir months. Staff doctors hail its therapeutic, value, but are secretive as to its source. The ointment is applied to the

burned area directly and then pressure dressing is wrapped snugly. Sea sponges are put in on layers next to forestall irregular growth of skin. In severe burns this bandaging remains untouched for two' weeks and when removed "there is no pain, according to the doctors. Hitler Manuscripts Go To University

PHILADELPHIA (UP) An ex-staff sergeant has given the University of Pennsylvania two valuable manuscripts dealing with Adolf Hitler's direction of German armed might both of them typed by fhe Fuehrer's champion stenographer, Gerhard Herrgesell. The donor is George Allen, who served with the 101st Airborne. Division. - Allen describes the first of the two manuscripts as an 800-page copy of Hitler's daily council

meetings, with the first entry 1 dated Dec. I, 1942, and the last ' March 24, 1945. The second manuscript consists of brief four to five page inter-!

views Allen had with Hitler's personal secretary. his sister Paula, his physician, a major domo, and a chauffeur.

When the U. S. Congress authorized meteorological stations for "signaling the approach and force of storms," they were built by the United States Signal Corps, and the first storm signal in America was flown at Oswego, N. Y in October, 1871. Finley Peter Dunne, American humorist and author of "Mr. Dooley," was born in Chicago in 1867, and obtained a common school education there. From 1885 to 1891 he was a reporter on various newspapers.

PHILADELPHIA (UP) The "war of nerves" used so frequently by Adolf Hitler was 'nothing new in warfare. 'In fact, it was at least 5,000 years old. Proof that a psychological war was used 5,000 years , ago was found in a Sumerian epic poem, partially translated by Dr. Samuel N. Kramer, assistant curator of the University of Pennsylvania museum. The poem was inscribed on a clay tablet, only nine . inches square, which contained a record number of 600 lines of Sumerian wedge writing. It was found in 12 fragments in Istanbul, Turkey, more than, 50 years ago, but was not translated until Dr. Kramer began his research. ' The poem told the story of King Enmerkar, who lived 1,000 years before the unknown writer's time, or 5,000 years from the present. Fifth Column Used.

I Enmerkar, ruler of the Biblical city of Erech, gained control of ! the rich city of Aratta in Southern Mesopotamia by use of numerous threats and a "fifth column" movement, according to the

poem. Enmerkar wanted the precious metals and stone for which Aratta was famous. He sent an ambassador to the ruler of Aratta ! proposing that the latter surrender. 1 I

When his proposal was turned down,. Enmerkar gradually increased pressure on the lord of

Aratta. At the same time he'

showered presents, '. , especially i food supplies on the people of i the city. . ' I Finally, when the people looked on Enmerkar With favor because of the gifts, .he threatened war on Aratta's ruler. The peo- j pie then overthrew their govern-, ment and hailed Enmerkar at as their king. ' j Because of many unfamiliar ' words and phrases and large ; gaps in the tablet, Dr. Kramer was unable to translate the poem . completely. His translation, how-j

"What do the Christian dogj want?" he asked. WITH Friar Bacon's blessing, the two young English- ; men, Walter and Tristram, started for mysterious jCathay. They reached Antioch without trouble but then their gold was almost gone. The cruel and wealthy merchant, Anthemus of Antioch, seemed their only chance. . Through a Nestorian .priest, Father Theodore, they learned that Anthemus was sending eighty-one beautiful maidens in a caravan as a gift to Kublai Khan. "The caravan," the priest told them, "will be met by the mighty Mongol, warrior, Bayan of the Hundred Eyes, who sees -everything." . -. "We must talk with Anthemus," Walter said..- ' Father Theodore acted as interpreter. He explained as they stood before the merchant, "He asks, 'What do the Christian dogs want?'"

. Maryam's tiny foot cracked his shin ... "For a chance to travel with the caravan," Walter said, "we can act later as your agents to the rich men of Europe at very low cost." Profits alone interested Anthemus and he saw a chance to turn one here. After much haggling, he consented to lend three poor camels, a patched tent and the services of a native boy servant, Mahmoud. Walter was told, "Mahmoud is a tine servant. He will steal anything you need." The Englishmen had retired to a side room when they heard a commotion in the room of Anthemus. A pretty, slender girl with dark hair and blue eyes had rushed in and now was pleading with him urgently. "Who is that?" Walter asked. "That is Maryam," a spectator explained. "She lives as a half-sister of Anthemus but it is whispered her father

The caravan for Cathay swung into line. really was an English captive from the Crusades." "But why are they quarreling?" "He has chosen her as one of the maidens for Kublai Khan. It would be an honor but she does not wish to go." Maryam's opposition was becoming more violent Soon she and Anthemus were shouting. The merchant seized her by the shoulders. Her tiny foot in a red slipper came up and cracked his shin. He bellowed with pain and rage as servants dragged her away . .... Walter and Tristram had noted the blue eyes in the pretty face. "I believe it is true that she is half-English," Tristram said. "I wish we could help her," . . But the friends were powerless here. Maryam rode the . leading camel at dawn next day as the caravan for Cathay swung into line . . . ; . (Continued tomorrow).
