Friends, this is it. Your chance to be a United States Senator for the next two months, with all the ahem emoluments and none of the worries of lawmaking. All fou've got to do is be a legal Evident of California, Missouri, Nevada, Vermont, or Washington. And. of course, vote for yourself next Tuesday. It is a weird deal. Through a quirk in the laws of the land the office of one senator from each ,f these five states becomes va cant xn November 6. The Democrats Demo-crats didn't bother to nominate anybody for the jobs; neither did the Republicans. None of the big wigs wanted to be temporary senators until January 3, when the new congress convenes. ftA The field is open for anybody Vho"d like to be a senator for a couple of months, collect his sal ary, get his fare paid for the round trip, hire his own wife and youngsters for his office force,1 and take advantage of all the' other luxuries accorded senators. He needs only to write in his name on the ballot and get his friends to do same. The fellow with the most pals gets the job. A professional screwball and a radio announcer with itchy feet are trying to land the California senatorship. (I am in communication communica-tion with these gentlemen and will report on them election day.) Other city slickers in the other states also are campaigning for these, the cushiest jobs in the government. Big pay, no work, a soft couch and all the free soda pop you can drink. If I weren't a voteless Washingtonian. I believe I'd run for the senate myself. Each of the five winners gets 20 cents a mile for the ride to Washington, he receives1 $800 a month salary', the right to pay his relatives to be his secretaries, and a big box of stationery with his name printed on it in blue, like this: Senator Joe Blow. For' the rest of his life he can insist on being called "Senator." He'll have a luxurious office here for 60 days, with hot and cold (1 ANTICIPATE YOUR CHRISTMAS CANDY NEEDS Order Your Box Chocolates Now!

The senate barbershop will fix him with hair trims, shampoos, and facial massages on the house. He'll get free use of the official gymnasium and free dips in the senatorial swimming pool. The government will pay for Jeep Launches New Gyro-Glider SCHENECTADY, N. Y., Nov. 1 (U.R) A jeep whizzed down' a flight runway today and launched launch-ed into the air at the end of a 100-foot towrope an aircraft with no wings and no motor. The new aircraft, known as the G-E Gyo-Glider, is flown with the aid of two nine-foot rotating blades. It works like an autogyro without a power sodrce. An announcement an-nouncement from General Electric, Elec-tric, which developed the craft at its flight center here, said it was the most revolutionary development develop-ment to date in the glider field. The Gyro-Glider weighs only 120 pounds but can lift a cargo of nearly 300 pounds. Its designers design-ers said it can land on a spot not more than SO feet in diameter. It has a descending speed less than that of a parachute. General Electric said the rotating rotat-ing blades "can be easily removed re-moved so that the Gyro-Glider can be transported from home to airport in the rear of a station wagon which alo can serve as its towing agent." ORPHAN PIGLETS DO ALL RIGHT ELY. New. Nov 1 U.R Mrs. Isabelle Hermansen of Lund began be-gan feeding each of the nine ba bies six bottles a day when their mother died last Aug. 24. She kept up that pace for six weeks, and then felt it was safe to cut the milk supply to four bottles bot-tles apiece daily. Today, more than two months and some 3,000 bottles later, Mrs. Hermansen's nine piglets are strong, healthy and rooting for their own food. his telegrams within reason and he can mall all the letters he wants without postage stamps. He'll get fresh towels daily, an unlimited supply of mineral water, wa-ter, and a private elevator to ride in. Odds are a thousand to one that he'll have nothing whatever to do. Only a special session of congress between now and next year would put him to work. He'd be sworn in as a senator then and he'd have to worry about the state of the nation. He might also be eligible for a pension; the experts still are pondering that one. May you enjoy yourselves in Wash- ngton, Senators pro-tem, and don't forget your daily shoe shines; they're free, too. BEND ENCOURAGES WINDOW SOAPING BEND, Ore., Nov. 1 (U P) They didn't mind in Bend if the kids soaped the' downtown windows as a Halloween prank last night. They even offered prizes for the best art work. The ' schools and chamber of commerce went in together on the project to divert youthful energy into harmless channels. America's first street lights were pine knots, placed in iron baskets and lighted by night watchmen, about 1795. Control Discard Planned, Claims Labor Unions WASHINGTON, Nov. 1 OJ.RV- Labor union sources claimed to day that the administration is preparing to discard controls in all industries where wage dis putes are in prospect. They said the government has decided to remove controls from coal, steel, autos, rubber and other basic commodities, possibly soon after the elections, to permit per-mit unrestricted collective bargaining bar-gaining in these industries. Reconversion Director John R. Steelman last night ordered the removal of all controls from skins, hides, leather and shoes. His action automatically decontrolled decon-trolled wages in the highly unionized union-ized boot, shoe and leather goods industries. Abolition of a rigid-price policy in the basic industries would help the White House in its desire de-sire to avoid last winter's role of arbitrating settlements of major wage disputes. Removal of all controls except rents has been recommended to Mr. Truman by the reconversion advisory board as the quickest way to eliminate remaining bottlenecks bot-tlenecks on production and minimize mini-mize industrial unrest.'

Scientists Worlcon Cloth That Won't Wrinkle NEW YORK, Nov. 1 (U.R) Chemists are busy these days making up compounds that will give the public non-wrinkle clothing and other goods designed to resist shrinkage and repel water, flame, mildew and mold. These types of clothing would be here right now if it had not been for the war, the experts say. The "miracle" compounds havei a rosen base and supposedly penetrate pene-trate the heart of the fibre-and remain there for the life of a garment. They do not weaken even after many washings. Scientists at one company sa tney are concentrating their work on rayon because most of the mills have equipment adaptable adapt-able for processing. But within a year or less, they say, they will go after wool and then entirely new cloths from that fibre will reach the consumer. This means, they say, that men will be wearing all-wool suits in the summer suits that will not wrinkle. The compound-treat ed wool cloth also will have "extreme coolness"' in that it will be possible to make an extremely thin, yet serviceable, fabric. They don't promise that men will never have to have their trousers pressed. although scientists sci-entists at the RCA laboratories in Princeton,. N. J., are reported to be about ready to announce such a postwar luxury. Give A Rug for Christmas Bring in your material now and avoid disappointment. The Diamond Weave is our specialty. spec-ialty.
