WASHINGTON. It wont be long now before able to settle those election bets. youll be DEBATE: negotiations Inconclusive club days after the release of the official record of the with the Russians over the Berlin situation, I was sitting In the with a couple of members of the Democratic administration. Talk had grown pretty tall in Paris and that morning, every other person I met, it seemed, asked me: are we going to have war? A few But Washington a sleeping Tuesday, October 19, 1948 THE DRAGERTON TRIBUNE, DRAGERTON, UTAH PAGE TWO was at calm as The club dining room window was open, and a lazy tabbycat autumn sun down the trees sweeped through of the park. loafed showing Squirrels around, little or no interest in preparing tor the winter, and when I repeated the question I had heard so often that morning to my two Democratic friends, it aroused very little kiterest Said they; "The Russians want Dewey. So we won't have war sow. The Soviets know if they start-t- d a war at this time, it would sinch Truman's election. Naturally my friends didnt indicate that they had any doubts aa to the outcome ef the election but when we started talking adds, I noticed the conversation was confined largely to the race for the senate. After all, said my friends, even some Republicans concede that Dewey might face a Democratio upper house. It wouldn't take much of a push either way. The Democrats have 45 eats now, and the Republicans snly SI. The Democrats are confident that only one or two of their tandidates are in danger. On the other hand, there are a lumber of stiff state fights in progress in which the Republicans are being p ashed pretty hard. The Democrats feel that if they can get lut a large vote In these uncertain g ftates, they have a chance of the four seats that would give hem tte edge. In other words the count then ' would be: Democrats 49; Repube licans, 47. That margin wouldn't assure Democratic dominance on all sedate policy matters, sf course, because .too many sen-- r ijcrs'-crsgtvcst tat lespisg vo- -t A ihe party corral these days.

Bets are collected after, sot before, elections. -1 It is fortunate, - at course, that lU writers as well as all bettors re not equipped with powers. If and when the day comes when we are, the fun will be taken but of reading, writing, and betting. And that day may come, believe it or not. I feel quite positive from the scientific proof offered, that most of the various forms of the supernatural are untenable. But, after attending a couple of lectures' and reading considerable material 1 have n "parapsychology, convinced that certain thing MAX exist which are at present considered impossible. y I refer to perception, clairvoyance, and pay-- chokinesia. And I tee bo reason why 'more ' scientists shouldn't give these subjects a mera thorough looklng-l- n to - thsu they have deigned to Indulge In up te now. Some have. Dr. J. B. Rhine, director of the parapsychological- - laboratory at Duke university, has been conducting experiments along these eerie lines for nearly two decades. He is a very modest man. and he leans over backward to avoid offering any conclusions or making any fiat statement concerning these experiment I have read his book( heard him speak to an Intimate group, take part in a forum and later answer private gathering questions at under the auspices of the Washington Society for Parapsychology. For almost two decades, as I said. Dr. Rhine and his assistants have been trying to determine whether or not there is a scientific basis for telepathy (the transfer of thought from one human brain to another); clairvoyance (the ability to visualize extra-sensor- y be-to- extra-eensor- Bill Schoentgen, WNU Staff Writer' Wbci opinions nre iipriue4 la thM eelnraas, they art Iheee ef Union's mvi maIjii end at UArity at ikl newspaper.) For better or for worse the U. N. security council had become wedded to the problem of what to do about Berlin, but there was no honeymoon. Russia had boycotted the security council debate, and although Andrei Vishinsky, Soviet delegate, attended the first meeting in body he remained monstrously aloof from the proceedings in spirit THAT FIRST session was not but downright only inconclusive dull. No one would have thought that the 11 men mulling over this world crisis in the Chaillot palace in Paris were engaged in deliberations of so momentous a nature that they might turn the balance for peace or war in the world. While Vishinsky sat dourly and silently playing the part of the vicarious witness to the hilt the American and French delegates read pofite tirades against the manners and morals of Soviet motives and politics. WHEN THE TWO western speakers were done, Juan A. Bramuglia of, Argentina, acting president of the council, was forced simply to drop the whole business, temporarily at least, with a hollow thud. After the French delegate had completed his review, Bramuglia waited expectantly for a time, then observed mildly that since he didn't seem to have any more speakers on the list the meeting would be recessed. It appeared probable that the delegates would take considerable time for studying the charge of the U. S.t Great Britain and France against Russia before meeting again. There waa a possibility, too, that the security council might delay further formal meditation on the off chance that Russia might lift the Berlin blockade and the might Big Four foreign minister take up the entire German things or events taking place beyond the vision or knowledge); or for that ability which may involve both of the former, precognition the ability to predict things which will occur in the future. And also psychokinesis, the hardest one of all for the cynical to swallow. That la the power of mind over matter, e.g. ability to make dice fail the way you want them to by thinking at them. Roughly, this is an example of what has teen done by Dr. Rhine and others. After long experiment and mathematical calculation, it is determined that by chance alone anybody can pick correctly five cards out of a pack of 25. That Is Just guessing, and it is even money the subject can do it. If he is right oftener (and may have been right consistently more often than five in 25) that is MORE than chance. If he is right often enough, it is said that he has extrasensory perception. In other words, he Is able to perceive what the card la without the use of his senses, but rather by some undefined, unmeasured, unclassified ability which science aa yet cannot explain. Clairvoyance la a common experience. An example might be of the mother who has a vivid and alarming impression of a train wreck. It may be a nightmare, a waking hallucination, or just an intuition. The wreck seem to be connected with her ion, perhaps with some definite place like a tunnel. It turns out later that her son was actually injured In a wreck at the spot where her dream assigned it Careful checking ef such experience Is now going en, and Dr. Rhine feel that the result In these case too, srpew to ehow that some unknown procesi i Involved, unexplained la terms of our ordinary senses. FIRST AID to n It waa an accomplished faet that sooner or later John L. Lewis would have his say about the 1948 election, feeling as he obviously doee that no political campaign would be complete without his having expressed an opinion on it At the United Mine Workers 40th convention in Cincinnati the UMW chief shoved bis foot In Mr. Trumans campaign machinery by turning a sour and sarcastic eye on the Presidents bid for PRESIDENT Truman is "dangerous to the United States, said Lewis, and he had his mine worker convention delegates agreeing with him. They made it clear that they would not go along with the bulk of AFL, CIO end other Independent unions now working for Mr. Truman's election. While the delegates cheered and applauded his criticisms, Lewis declared that: "Harry Truman is totally unfit for the position. His principles are elastic. He is careless with the truth. He has no special knowledge of anything. He is a malignant, scheming sort of individual who is dangerous not only to the United Mine Workers but dangerous to the United States of America. tn PROCEEDING oratorically this vituperative vein, Lewis devoted 25 of the 50 minutes he took for his speech to derogating the President in general and specific terms. He charged that Mr. Truman vetoed the labor law only "for the record of his campaign. He said the President prosecuted the mine workers and had them fined twice "because he was too cowardly to send me to jail. I WAS WISHING he would put me in jail, Lewis went on reminiscently, which is what a white man would have done rather than rob you. John L. Lewis was saving his opinions on Gov. Thomas E. Dewey, the Republican candidate, for a later phase of the UMW convention. Lewis doesnt especially like Dewey, either. Taft-Hartle- y INFLATION: What Price Bread? Ever since the price of wheat declined under the impetus of this years bumper crop. good many infl- Americans have been asking when the price of bread was going to take a corresponding drop. The answer is that It probably wont, and the reason is that although the price of wheat is down the cost of the other basic bread ingredients are not. BAKING INDUSTRY leaders, In a considerable ferment over recent charges that bread prices are deliberately being kept aloft, have said and with some justification that the present costs of bakery reflects "a remarkable goods achievement in resisting inflationBIG FOUR: ary pressures.

It is a relative of the yellow carnotite, from which the U. S. gets its domestic uranium in the Rocky mountains. Carnotite is one of the two best sources of the atomic element, uranium. Whether the green mineral Is plentiful Is not yet known. It now is being analyzed at Columbia university, Like the yellow carnotite, it contains about 60 per cent uranium. If the new mineral proves a good uranium source, the discovery might be the most important of its kind since the atomic bomb first burst upon the world. More than 100 minerals containing uranium are known, but the element has been too difficult to extract FOOD, COAL: Root of Evil Two shortages, food and coal, are responsible for most of the discomfort and quite a few of the major troubles in the world, a report by the United Nations economic af- fairs department says.

A simple way to polish brass (also copper) is by washing with ordinary vinegar in which is mixed as much salt as the vinegar will dissolve. You can make this into a paste by adding flour.
