He will ia all probability succeed Reiv ,W.vR. .White, D Ogden, ? wno; presiaea over tne 199 session ses-sion and the 1946 special session; Democrat -have enough, power remaining in' the senate to elect the president, and consequently to name the secretary of the sen ate and the secretarial help part of the s dominant party patron age. Most observers believe that Sen; Dexter Tarr, Ogden, will again be named president of the senate, , unless there rebellion on the part of one or more Democratic Demo-cratic .members, which then would thrown the situation into complete confusion. - '' The senate and house during the 11947 session will-be a wide- open affair, particularly the sen ate. During. the past, with only one party, having any say in the conduct of the legislature, most of the work was donje behind closed committee doors, and things were pretty cut and" dried .before they ever reached tne floor. - - However, with a vociferous, "rampagin Republican minority in the senate, which with the addition ad-dition of any one Democratic voter can swine things, the out look is for a lively session next January In the August body. In the house, there will be an equally vociferous minority, al though in this, instance it'U be Democratic. It will be a large enou&h minority to make things hot, and every vote will count. However, as one ob-server pointed out, Democrats in Utah as in the rest of the nation aren't used to being in a minority. It. will take a strong floor leader to weld the Democrats into a cohesive, co-hesive, unified whole which can make itself felt. Who the clerk of the house will be has not yet been rumored around ' here. But it is .expected by most that the secretary of the senate will be Clinton Vernon, Democratic state central commit tee chairman. As for the makeup of the house clerical staff, it will be predominantly Republican, for the first lime in many a year. t (Tomorrow, fate of amendments, in the new Utah legislature) Let us help you keep your Mercury ia top-light condition. condi-tion.

Lewis Tdctices Forces Use of Coal Substitutes By FREDERICK C. QTHMAN United Press Staff Correspondent: WASHINGTON, Nov..l9 (U.R) John I. Lewis seems to be one of those fellows who can't read the writing in the soot on the wall. Every time he wangles his boys another poist in wages, the price of coal goes up and these thipgs happen: More householders put in oil burners, " more railroads buy diesel , engines, more factories convert their boilers to natural gas, and ' more scientists concoct more schemes to put coal miners out of work. , If Eyebrows and bis members think I'm kidding, let them pond er a few, current developments: The Alabama Power Co. has' a coal mine at Georgas, Ala., into which it shortly will pump air and oxygen and then, scientifical ly, drop in a match. The coal will get hot; exuding gas, which will whoosh out of a pipe in the ground without the assistance of a single member of the united Mine Workers of America, Any comment, JOhn .L? . At Louisiana, Mo., meantime, the Bureau of Mines has in operation op-eration a $17,500,000 plant (it used to be a war factory) for. the production of fuel oil from shale. There are untold billions of tons of this greasy rock unsler ground; if the Missouri plant proves econ omical, still more of Eyebrows' boys will be looking for otner Here In Washington tomorrow the house surplus property in vestigating committe will .at tempt to discover why the government gov-ernment still hasn't sold its big and little inch piplines. These are "the Dines one is two feet across and the other 20 inches which pumped oil during the war from Texas to Philadelphia and New York. They are considered a bargain at $161,000,000; without them we might even have lost the war. - Now everybody's sore at everybody. every-body. Most oil -people say they can haul fuel for furnaces cheaper cheap-er in tankers. Some government experts think ' the big' and little inch lines should be used ex- clusively for oil. Two concerns have made of fers to buy the big inch pipe fori hauling Texas' natural gas to the east Big Inch Gas, Inc., which wants to pay $40,000,000 for the line, says it can haul 275,000,000 cubic feet of gas a day and sell it all to electric power plants in New Jersey, New York, Pennsyl vania, Delaware, and Maryland. The power companies now use! coal. They're, tried of strikes and rising prices, and according tol Big Inch Gas, Inc., would be delighted to tell John L. to go jump in a coal mine. That brings us finally to the first atomic power plant in the world, about to be erected by the government and . associated . in dustrialists near Schenectady , n. Y. When you split art atom it gets hoi. Build a . boiler around the hot pieces and you get steam. That's the principleand while HI is expensive, the scientists say it can't helo but get cheaper.

CALL 300 ANYTIME Japanese Learn About Justice At War Trial TOKYO U.R The trial of for mer Japanese Premier Hideki To- jo and other major war criminal! suspects is going to have a far- reaching effect on the Japanese legal system, according to Japanese Jap-anese attorneys who are working with American attorneys at the war crimes trial. Japanese attorneys defending Japan's top war criminal suspects are impressed with the fairness of American and British laws and are studying means by which they can revise the laws of their own country. They admit that they have learned much during their practice before the International Inter-national Military Tribunal for the Far East and in their association! with the American attorneys sup-l plied to aid in the defense. The first step in a forward di- rection has just been taken. The! Japanese justice ministry has decided de-cided to revise the physical char acteristics of Japanese courts to make . them conform with theirl counterparts in the United States and England. Under, the new arrangement,! the defense will have a position in the courtroom equal to that of the prosecution. In the past, the! defense has literally been on a lower level in keeping with the old idea that a man in Japan is guilty until he is proved innocent. American defense attorneys at the big trials are giving a great deal of their personal time to speeches before groups of Jap anese attorneys. The Milky Way is a galaxy, one ox many in tne universe.
