Despite the overall denial in high places, a congressional probe group set to work to investigate the charges. Its action was diMcMahon rected by Chairman (D..

As everyone will recall. Mr. Truman has indicated he will ask a multi-billiodollar tax hike in January, and he was bolstered in that position by a statement by John Snyder, treasury secretary, who also saw a need for more taxes. HOWEVER. Senator O'Mahoney D., Wyo.) didn't share the views of these two gentlemen. Instead, the senator said publicly that any tax increase not only would be a mistake, but a "practical impossibility. The senator, who heads the senate-house economic committee and might reasonably be presumed to know what he was talking about, told newsmen he thought the government could get more revenue by revising the tax system to give new incentives to business, rather than bv raising taxes. n HE WILL SUGGEST, it was indi cated, that wasteful spending government be eliminated but not too sharply, and that no tax hike be made. Declaring the present tax system to be badlv in need ot reform, he said it should be re vised to provide incentive tor busi ness exnansion in Going Giveaways Public apathy, according to current reports, appeared to be beating the federal courts to the punch in obliterating giveaway shows from the nation's radio networks. Although proposed federal bans remained tied up in the courts, the public already had knocked off a number of jack-po- t shows by the most effective means in radio not tuning them in. Four such shows already had folded, one was on the way out, others were being revised. The decline of the giveaway was attributed to the passing of a fad a faling off in interest among radio listeners; but, whatever the reason, it is axiomatic in radio that a loss of audience is as fatal to a program as any federal edict could be. HIGH COURT: A State's Right A states right to enact laws for- bidding use of force and violence to keep workmen from their jobs was upheld by the United States supreme court. THE CASE came up on appeal from Arkansas where the C.I.O. had attacked enactment of such a law. The labor unions called it a violation of federal constitutional guarantees of freedom of speech and assembly. But the high court was not confused. The Arkansas law, it ruled, did nothing of the kind. It did not penalize any peaceful assembly at the site of a labor dispute, nor did it "infringe the right of expression of views in any labor dispute. All it did, the court said, in effect, was to require that labor disputes proceed without the use of force or violence. JOBS: On Increase The national labor picture was better than it had in looking months. In November job totals increased 517,000 and Commerce Secretary Charles Sawyer declared "the job picture in November was perhaps more favorable than at any previous time this year. employment jumped 250 000 in November, reflecting the pickup in factory operations H t had been slowed in October by the steel and coal strikes. Farm employment itself scored gain of 168 000 in November, a month when the number of workers usually declines. It was estimated there were about 1 5 million persons with fulltime 35 hours per week or more) employment who were on a part-tim- e basis in the week of the November survey because of "slack work, material shortages, job turnover and similar factors.

That's the most practical, satisfactory and convenient method found so far for reducing fire hazards and keeping tree needles from losing their color or dropping from the tree. Tests show that keeping trees standing in water will prevent needles from drying out and becoming inflammable. They continue to appear fresh and green.

Another record appears in 1566 with the significant notation that its manufacture had been prohibited. According to the record the weapon was considered murderous. The victim could not tell where the bullet was coming from. In 1747 the Landgrave (count) of Hesse. Louis VIII. killed a 430 pound stag with a pneumatic rifle. He said that he preferred it to the regular firearm. Two Main Types There are two main types of pneumatic guns, according to Wolff. In one, the potential pressure gun, no pressure is created until the gun is ready to be discharged. In the other type the pressure is created and stored in a reservoir. The main reason that the weapon never has been widely used, according to Wolff, is the great difficulty in grinding a seat for the valve head that will hold the head perfectly under great pressure but still will permit a desired quantity of air to be released instantly. The principle of the valve is the same as that of the valves used in automobile and bicycle tires, Wolff explained. One of the first uses of the gun in this country, Wolff said, is recorded in the annals of the famous expedition of Meriwether Lewis and William Cfark from 1804 to 1806. 8s water.

The Russians werent doing so in United Nations activities. Despite bitter Soviet objections, the U.N. general assembly voted to take a worldwide census of ordinary arms and armed forces. Losing the protest, the Reds lost, too, in an effort to have the census include atomic bombs, too. However, the Soviet action made it unlikely that any of the western countries would turn in their figures now. THE ASSEMBLY voted 44 to 5 Slav bloc dissenting) for the census of weapons technically called This conventional armaments. would include anything from such small arms as pistols to the largest worships and planes, but would not include atomic bombs or any other eapons of mass destruction. The western group argued such a census is the first step in setting up a scheme for arms limitation. The assembly action confirmed once more a decision of the U.N. commission for conventional armaments that it has no business dealing with atomic weapons since the U.N. atomic energy commission was set up for that purpose. THE FRENCH, on the other hand, charged that Russia was trying to trap the western powers into disarming while the Soviets build an army unprecedented in history. John D. Hickerson, U.S. assistant secretary of state, told the Russian delegates frankly that western Europe is rearming and the U.S. is helping, "because they fear the intentions of the Soviet Union. With this open declaration of knowledge or belief of where Americas chief danger lies, there should be no excuse in the future for any reenactment of the Pearl Harbor debacle in the event the Reds start a war.

The concensus among operators and federal officials was that Lewis had done nothing by this action but "save face.'1 THEY POINTED OUT that Lewis gradually was beginning to be hemmed In by a combination of circumstances over which he was losing control. Among these were a disposition on the part of the miners to question his arbitray action in calling them from work and cutting off their incomes, and what appeared to be on open admission of weakness by his bargaining with operators on an independent basis. work At the time the three-daweek went into effect, the southern coal dealers had announced there appeared little point in trying to negotiate a contract with Lewis until he modified two of his contract demands.
