Proceeds from the ball, which is to be stalled as a Hallowe'en frolic, are earmarked for the purchase of additional books for the library, according to Mrs. E. H. Johnson, chairman of the library board. Long needed at the library since its re-opening nearly two years ago have been an assortment of recently r published childrens' books and books for juveniles. Also, an up-to-date set of encyclopedias is badly needed. Recently several bookcases have been addad to the library lib-rary (empty, of course) which would provide ample room for many needed books to bring the library into greater service and utility. Indicative of the acknowledgement by city officials and townspeople alike that the library is a vital part of the community is the fact that the city council has appropriated sufficient funds to keep the library open, and that Orem citizens are supporting so enthusiastically enthusiastic-ally the library benefit ticket sales. It is a compliment to the wisdom and common sense of Orem citizens that they treasure so highly their library one of the channels from which they and their children can draw much valuable information about the world and its people. When they contemplate the mad book-burning orgies of Hitler in recent years when they see the regimentation of the mind that still exists in too many places in the world today Orem citizens know the least - they can do to preserve and nurture here the ideals of freedom they cherish is to respond wholeheartedly to the ticket sales for the library lib-rary benefit ball.

(mm I I L LsgoW ashington jjjf ALL Washington Is tense from the threat of war with Russia. Observers Ob-servers declare the situation Is critical crit-ical although it does not necessarily mean war. With President Truman interrupting his campaign tour In the east to call Secretary of State Marshall home from the United Nations Na-tions meeting In Paris for consultation consulta-tion and John Poster Dulles also called home to confer with Governor Dewey, the GOP presidential candidate, candi-date, it was believed here that hope of Russian understanding had been abandoned . . . that our only hope of preventing war is a show of force and stern determination to uphold our position in western Europe." Sen. Scott W. Lucas (Dem., 111.), home from a tour of Europe, said that Gen. Lucius Clay, the American commander in chief In Germany, "believes that if we pursue vigorously vigorous-ly and firmly our present policy, there will beo shooting war. While It is true the Russians have a standing stand-ing army that could overrun most of Europe in a short while, sustaining such an army in the field for any length of time would be a tremendous tremen-dous strain on the Russian internal economy." CONGRESSIONAL REPRESENTATIVES REPRESEN-TATIVES of tobacco producing states, here to protest use of ECA funds to finance purchase of tobacco In Turkey and Greece for the American Amer-ican zone in Germany, were told by Administrator Paul Hoffman that ECA funds were not designed to act is a subsidy for V. S. industry or agriculture and neither could ECA tell European nations what to buy with their own currencies nor where to spend them. The tobacco group included Senators Sen-ators McKellar (Dem., Tenn.), Urn-stead Urn-stead (Dem.. N. C), and representatives representa-tives Spence (Dem., Ky.), Cooley (Dem., N. C), Borden (Dem, N. C.) jnd Chapman (Dem., Ky.). They requested ECA to follow what they described as "intent of congress" W making sure that American tobacco Is not "pushed around" in world markets. ECA recently authorized seven million dollars for purchase of Greek, Turkish and American tobaccos tobac-cos for shipment to Germany. The authorization was about equally divided di-vided between U. S. and Greek-Turkish Greek-Turkish leaf and was protested by Senator Cooper (Rep., Ky.). Hoffman Hoff-man told the group he would "be opposed to distorting the historic trade pattern of Europe in favor of American industry," and added that ECA's influence will be most effective effec-tive In speeding recovery in Europe if it keeps traditional trade policy balanced. INDICATIONS ARE that a rail freight rate increase of approximately approximate-ly 4 per cent will be soon granted by the Interstate Commerce Commission. Com-mission.

All three states outlaw distilled spirits. Kansas Kan-sas and Oklahoma permit sale of 32 beer.

MCCARTHY MCCAR-THY (Rep., Wis.) told the mortgage bankers association qf America in their New York convention, that unless they made more federal insured in-sured home loans, congress might be forced to put the government In the home loan business. Senator McCarthy said the loaning agencies in many parts of the country were requiring larger down payments on low cost homes than required under the 1948 housing act. Aavtrtmmnt From where I sit ...

Friday, October 15, 1948 Governor Maw vs. Brother Maw Gov. Herbert B. Maw with his now notorious "Dear Brother" letter has succeeded in pushing his campaign for re-election to the lowest level of bigotry. Conceived in fear for his political life and born of desperation, the governor's letter was directed to some 1,000 stake and ward officers, members of the Aaronic priesthood and other members of the L.D.S. church. To their credit, the Church's President George Albert Smith and Presiding Bishop LeGrand Richards lost no time in disavowing Maw's presumptious attempt to don the mantle of Church spokesman. Any man who attempts to create political division among free American citizens on the basis of church affili-ajion affili-ajion is a bigot. Governor Maw has done just that in his letter. Waving the white banner of virtue in an obvious at tempt to obscure the dirty hem of his own garment, soiled by his scandalous fumbling of proven bribery, .... in the Maw-controlled state liquor commission, commis-sion, the Governor's "Dear Brother" letter is a ludicrous example of political double talk. Although he hints darkly that the Republican party in Utah is in the toils of the underworld, un-derworld, he produces no evidence on which to base such a claim and makes only one direct charge. That is to the effect that if his Republican opponent, J. Bracken lee, is elected, sale by the drink will become commonplace in Utah. He states that if he, Maw, is elected he will see to it that the liquor laws are enforced throughout Utah. Now let's look at the record. J. Bracken lee has pledged himself in written and spoken word to the people of Utah that he will place the liquor problem before a committee of churchmen, busi nessmen, civic leaders and other interested in the public welfare with the suggestion that they work out the best possible liquor law for submission to the state legislature. He has stated that under no circumstances will he ever urge either the voters or the legislature to make Utah an "open" state. Gov. Herbert B. Maw on the other hand, had information informa-tion that the present and all too obviously inadequate state liquor laws were allegedly being violated by his own appointees. He had this information, and yet, according to his own word, conducted no investigation whatsoever to learn if it were true or false. A grand jury was forced to take care of the matter and Robert Harries, former chief enforcement officer of the liquor commission and a Maw appointee, has been convicted and sentenced to prison oa a charge of bribe-taking. Other indictees are coming up (or trial ! Governor. Maw's record doesn't jibe with Brother Maw's letter. Paid Pol. adv. by J. Bracken Lee for Gov. Com. of Utah County. HUM.. |
