Editor: - Anent the discussion dis-cussion in your publication recently re-cently as to where a real progressive pro-gressive can consistently cast his ballot this election, permit me to say many points have been made clear, showing that the two old parties have finally so merged that we have no choice between them this year on such issues as matter: i.e., war, with all its hideousness. Both the Democrats and Republicans have voted for draft in peace time; for billions on billions of dollars for military equipment for reactionary governments like Greece, Turkey, et al; and now the Marshall plan clearly is aimed at building a vast war machine out of western Europe-For Europe-For more than 60 years I have watched carefully nation al and international policies and developments in ; U. S. A. and abroad. And it has been clear that ever since Alexander Ham ilton was appointed our first secretary of the Treasurey, a- gamst the advice of Jefferson and our first attorney general and other real democrats, our country has been drifting gradually grad-ually into a plutocracy instead of refining our set-up as a true democracy.

The development of trusts and monopolies in our own country and their co-operation as cartels with foreign organizations, organi-zations, especially of Germany. And the fact that not a single individual has ever been sent to jail for violation of the antitrust anti-trust laws during the past' 60 years all these trends shows that we have little real democratic-republicanism, for our politics have more and more drifted to control by the billionaire billion-aire monopolists, who through thetr attorney-lobbists, AMA groups, and sundry semi-secret organizations, dominate the old political organizations through great gifts to both of them for campaign circuses that are put on every 4 years to maintain a make-believe democracy, all the time knowing that the nom inees have been hand-picked by cliques before delegates are ever elected to conventions. When Henry Wallace was dispensed dis-pensed with in the Truman ad ministration, alter long weeKs of argument on his part in trying try-ing to disuade Truman from supporting the war-mongers in his foreign policy; and when scores of other progressive- minded public public servants were likewise dismissed, to be replaced by stooges of the vested vest-ed interests in the key-positions of our government, it was evident evi-dent that Wallace must be judged judg-ed more by the enemies his stand has made than by the friends who have flocked to his side. Hence, how can a real pro gressive do otherwise than support sup-port Henry Wallace when his principles and policies are clear ly opposed to all the hypocritical hypocritic-al schemes of those who talk democracy, freedom, etc, and at the same time vote for billions bill-ions to go to France, Belguim, Holland, etc. while such governments govern-ments are spending millions to still hold in slavery the people of their old colonies, who were once freed during war? If citizens would read care fully the great expose of all the intrigues that went on for 28 years from 1917 down to 1945, in the little book, '!The Great Conspiracy" by two brilliant journalists, who specialized in investigations of the Axis 5th columns in France, England and Ireland, they will see the wolf-in-sheeps-clothijig invisible government gov-ernment that runs things; and they will realize why the abuse of Henry Wallace exactly mat ches the way Lincoln was treat ed by the same fanatical reactionaries react-ionaries of his time. unless we recover our government gov-ernment from these fanatics they will complete their fascist dictatorship; and that will bring communism-by bloody revolution; revolut-ion; so I am voting for Wallace.

Filmed in Cartoons Manufacturers Protest Against Court Ruling WASHINGTON. -Loud hollers over the supreme court's price ruling rul-ing are coming from steel users and building material dealers. Congressional mail is increasingly increasing-ly filled with protests from small town manufacturers. They want to know, bitterly, If congress is going to let the superme court put them out of business. The supreme court decided in the "cement case" that uniform prices could not be used to maintain main-tain a combine among cement producers. pro-ducers. And the steel industry, reading the ruling, shifted away from its traditional policy of maintaining main-taining uniform prices among themselves. But it's their customers, who had based their businesses on the previous previ-ous uniform-price policies, who are hollering now. A Muskegon, Mich, building materials ma-terials dealer puts a typical problem prob-lem frankly. He buys cement from a concern at Detroit, 170 miles away. His competitor buys from a cement concern near Muskegon. A third dealer buys from a concern near Petoskey, which is not far away. Prices Were Uniform Always before the cement companies com-panies had supplied the -three dealers deal-ers at a uniform price. But now the dealer buying from Detroit has to pay 52 cents a barrel more; the dealer buying at Petoskey has "to pay six cents more, and the dealer buying from the local source pays only one cent more. The Muskegon customer of the Detroit supplier says he'll be out of business pretty soon, unless he can shift to the local supplier, who already can sell his entire product prod-uct and isn't looking for new customers. cus-tomers. The building materials dealer can't move. He's there to serve the local trade. That's one type of protest which is coming In to congress by the hundreds. The other protest is from the steel fabricator who located his plant near his market, or where he found labor, or where he could utilize an existing plant Because he could buy steel at a uniform price, his distance from the steel supplier didn't matter then. An Emergency But now a spring-making company com-pany in Adrian, Mich., a aeat-mak-ing company in Ionia, a company making casters In Grand Rapids and dozens of enterprises like them face an emergency. How can they pay the cost of bringing in steel and still compete with that spring-making company at Pittsburgh that seat-building concern at Youngstown or the caster manufacturer at Gary? "Many Michigan plants, among which we may be included, will be compelled to move to some steel producing center where excess steel capacity is available in order to eliminate excess transportation costs," one of these men wrote Senator Ferguson. Similar protests are coming to Senator Capehart from Indiana, Senator Brooks from Illinois, Senator Sena-tor Donnell from Missouri and others. These manufacturers, some of them, can move. And of course if they do there will be unemployment unemploy-ment in the cities they leave and a scramble for labor in the cities they enter. It's a serious problem. Chamber of Commerce Officer Has Wide Variety In His Job CHADRON. NEB.-You do not have to be a ack-of-all-trades to be chamber of commerce secretary, secre-tary, but it helps. - Chester A.

One of the greatest great-est undermining influences in Texas is a biscuit-bodied, Roman-nosed rodent ro-dent called the pocket gopher. This burrowing little fellow did at least five million dollars worth of crop damage in Texas in a recent re-cent 12-month period, according to Donald A. Spencer, government biologist, bi-ologist, who has trapped thousands of gophers. Besides destroying crops, these underground mischief-makers dig holes in levees, undermine hard-surface hard-surface roads and even cause train wrecks by tunneling beneath right-of-ways. Spencer, speaking at a Dallas forum on rodent poisoning, called the gopher the most hermit-like and foul-tempered of all western creatures. crea-tures. A gopher stays strictly to himself all his life except for a few weeks when he is young and except ex-cept during the brief breeding seasons. sea-sons. Individual Tunnels. Every adult gopher has his Individual Indi-vidual underground system of tunnels, tun-nels, storehouses -(Spencer calls them pantries) and sleeping dens. The female gopher is always alone in her den when the little ones arrive. ar-rive. Usually, these tunnel systems sys-tems are under a row crop, a lawn, a golf course or any place where there are succulent roots. The roots and other foodstuffs are gnawed into neat little strips and stored in the pantries for use when little is growing or there is a drouth. A gopher never drinks water. He gets enough moisture from the water content of the food he eats. Besides his powerful claws, the gopher has huge incisor teeth for digging. The mouth closes behind these incisors. The pocket gopher gets his name from cheek pouches on either side of his mouth. He uses these cheek pouches to carry food and to haul dirt out of the burrows. bur-rows. , Many Different Types. Spencer said that Texas Agricultural Agricul-tural and Mechanical college investigators inves-tigators had found 18 types of pocket pock-et gophers In that state. A Dallas gopher is about the size of a house rat, only blunter of head, shorter of tail and much chunkier. A gopher fits in his tunnel like a piston in a cylinder, Spencer declared. de-clared. He can back up as fast ai he can go forward. He's not polite, po-lite, though, and when angry will attack any foe and fight to the death. Gophers won't live together In captivity. A few minutes after being caged they usually have a death struggle. Spencer usually locates them by the mounds of fresh dirt which they throw out through a small hole while digging their tunnels. Then the biologist sticks a poisoned bait down the hole. After one gopher is killed, though, another seems to take over the tunnel system Immediately. Imme-diately. About the only real service the pocket gopher performs is In Improving Im-proving sub-soil by dragging organic organ-ic matter underground. m i ietcnun & Wrecking Co. 2320 South Main St. !

ALL HOMES BUILT TO CITY SPECIFICATIONS Manuscript of Old Bible Discovered in Palestine NEW HAVEN. CONN. The discovery dis-covery in Palestine of the earliest known manuscript of the Old Testament Testa-ment Book of Isaiah was 'announced 'an-nounced by Yale university. Preserved for centuries in a monastery mon-astery in the Holy Land, the manuscript manu-script recently was identified by scholars at the American School of Oriental Research at Jerusalem, the university said. Prof. Millar Burrows of Yale is director of the school, one of two maintained in the Near East by leading American universities. The manuscript was found in a well-preserved scroll of parchment dating back to about the first century cen-tury B. C. The university said the earliest among other known complete com-plete texts of Isaiah were transcribed tran-scribed in about the ninth century A. D. The manuscript came from the library of the Syrian Orthodox monastery of St. Mark in Jerusalem.

The taxi driver, Mark Corley, said he opened a door to the car to comply com-ply and as he did Mrs. Threlkeld apparently stepped on both the starter start-er and accelerator. Corley and other witnesses said the car spun into the street in a circle and on the third go-around hurled Mrs. Threlkeld to the pavement pave-ment On the fourth trip, police quoted Corley, the car ran over Mrs. Threlkeld. The car finally came to halt against a curb. California Gives Salmon A Lift Over Dry Stretch SAN FRANCISCO.-3California is doing things for fish. Five tank trucks are being assigned to ferry salmon overland during the spawning spawn-ing season along a 30-mile stretch of the San Joaquin river, which has developed salmon-proof sandbars in a drouth. Steelhead trout in the Monterey area have acquired new spawning grounds up the Big Sur river because be-cause game wardens blasted out a big rock which has blocked spawning spawn-ing runs since before palefaces settled set-tled in these parts. Rainbow trout minnows now are brought from the icy waters of the Mount Shasta uplands up-lands and raised to six-inch size in the warm water of a valley hatchery. This shortens the growing grow-ing time and makes it possible to plant them earlier in game waters where they will grow up to be big fisty and that's right get hooked.
