Russell says that when the spectacle of evil becomes painful to humane men they are likely to yield to the emotional demand for a quick cure and accept unfounded gospel There is a hopeful aspect to this theory For the spectacle of evil within the Soviet regime should dissuade bright people from becoming devotees of communism just as it is causing others to recant -- 4 UIa Kolioiro that thp Amrrirrin idea will stand scrutinv i Txrrm ' t wH hotter find another one to live by —Everett Case president of Colgate university Editor Reveals What and How Much Threshing Crew Devoured An Indiana editor Paul L Hillsamer of Marion has performed some valued research on a subject of which there has been a great deal of discussion but to our knowledge no accurate figures set down for the amazed contemplation of all and sundry This subject isj the amount of food which a gang of threshers ate in the days when threshing was entire ' ly a matter of horsepower and manpower splendid source of informaEditor Hillsamer went with the assistance of who tion a pioneer woman relative neighbor women had prepared and served many a meal to threshers Here is what the editor's Aunt Annie served to a crew of twenty: two Eight chickens half a bushel of mashed potatoeslemongallons of gravy one gallon of coffea five gallons of ade 10 pounds of green beans creamed corn lettuce and hometurnips in appropriate quantities 10 big loaves of cakes made bread three pounds of butter eight pies five ' and three kinds of pudding There were available of course jars of jams and jellies cream plates of pickles and relishes and pitchers of milk andthe old but as these were merely the expected trimmings lady didn't write them down Mr 'Hillsamer is to be congratulated for a fine job of field It seems strange that in research in a a dav of scientific inouirv the interesting subject as to how e thresher ate was so long neglected by the much an scholarly explorers into the past long-neglect- ed old-tim- There is still no substitute for work Power has lengthened man's arm but it has not replaced flabby muscles — William L Batt president SKF Industries Inc responsi-bilitieSH- ar et ed 7 - middle-of-the-ro- ad & gove-ernes-li- Emphasis on Organization Not Oratory at GOP Meeting Any April be restored to active navy duty all he has to do is walk into Admiral Sherman's office and promise to behave bo reported the cniei ot naval uucinuous uie uuiei limy uvriuuu closed doors of the senate appropriations committee when he was testifying on the navy's money needs "If Captain Crommelin walked into my office next week and gave me his word of honor that he would behave I would take him back" Admiral Sherman said after being put on the spot by several nagging questions from Sen Homer Ferguson Michigan Republican J"Then why did you put him on furlough at half pay to silence him?" demanded Ferguson J 4 "1 don't want the junior officers and enlisted men presented! with the spectacle of a senior officer on active duty setting an example of insubordination" Sherman shot back "In that case why wasn't Crommelin persisted the Jienator from Michigan "That would only have caused further airing of his case md a public commotion over the accuracy of everything he said about institutions and individuals! replied the chief of naval operations: Sen John McClellan Arkansas Dixiecrat suggested that Secretary of the Navy Matthews was responsible for furloughing Crommelin X made' the recommendation" spoke up Sherman "I thought it was a good opportunity to remove from the active list of the navy an officer who was setting a bid I Sen Bill Knowlend California Republican wanted to bel sure Crommelin wasn't disciplined for anything he may have testified before congress "I would protect an officer from action for testifying before punitive a congressional committee Sher man said flatly With that the senators got back to the business of navy appropria tions people's Attorney Secretary of the Interior Oscar Chapman took a unique stisp the Other day by appearing before a public commission as a "lawyer for the people" interior department J Chapman's is locked in a fight with private power interests over their attempt to grab half a billion dollars worth of government-owne- d power in the Central valley of California!
