r PAGE SEC (SeconS BeetlonJ r IIE WAYNES VILLE MOUNTAINEER Senator Hoey Is Trying To Get Funds for Parkway WASHINGTON After confer ences with congressional and gov ernment officials, Sen. Clyde R. Hoey pledged renewed effort to secure funds for continuing con struction on the Blue Ridge park way. Pending in the house is the in terior department appropriation bill normally providing funds for parkway development. Although the 1947 budget estimate provided a total of $15,000,000 for postwar developments on the Blue Ridge, Natchez Trace, George Washing ton Memorial and Foothills park ways, the house appropriations committee cut the figure in two. Outstanding obligations already amount to $5,000,000, leaving only $2,500,000 for unobligated develop ments indicating a small share, if any, for the Blue Ridge project. Sen. Hoey has conferred with A. E. Demaray, associate director of National Park service, regarding prospects for carrying on Blue Ridge parkway construction, and later with Rep. Jed Johnson, chair man of the house subcommittee on interior department appropriations, and Sen. Carl Hayden, senate sub committee chairman. Following these meetings, he declared that if the house failed to make proper provision for the Blue Ridge park way as it considered the interior appropriations bill, he planned to press for additional funds, when the measure reaches the senate, sufficient to insure continuation of the Blue Ridge project. More Sugar Seen For Home Canning WASHINGTON The Commerce Department estimated recently the annual household sugar ration of 15 pounds a person can be main tained this year and that there will be a larger allowance for home canning. It reported civilian sugar sup plies this year will be 341,000 tons larger than the 1945 total. But it said this year's 5,433,000-ton allo cation for civilian consumption would have to cover "the greatly increased industrial sugar ration and the addition of 8,000,000 vet erans to the number of civilian users." The Department said a 20 per cent increase in acreage devoted to the United States sugar beet crop would furnish the chief addi tion to the 1946 sugar supply. Im ports from Cuba, it said, will be down about 1,000,000 tons below the 3,140,000 tons imported in 1945. Power of Advertising Commissioned to sell a three family house, a Providence. R.

WITH THE COLUMNISTS REALITIES OF PEACE Dorothy Thompson The Anglo-American powers, in complete disregard of their own security and in apparent contempt of their own civilization, hve been collaborating for their undoing. This process is not leading to peace. It Is leading inevitably toward war unless we are to presume that the Unltedv SUtes will live on sufferance a generation hence. Rusisa is not weak, but strong. The sources of her strength re her single-mindedness, the Russia-firsters in every land, her concept that all life is essentially struggle, her people's contempt of deati: an unfamiliarity with luxury, and the ignorance and muzzy-headed simplicity of western leadership that could fight a colossal war at tremendous sacrifice without ever thinking through in advance the problem of Europe, which lies at the root of both world wars. BLOC FORMING Wm. Philip Simms Today, Russia is in a fair way to dominate the whole of Europe and Asia. What is left of China if the Soviet-supported native Communists take over will not be able to resist. Nor will an independent, but weak India. And as in the case of Germany the Japanese may go the way of the rest of the Asiatics when the the Americans pull out. ' . ' Such, at least, is the conviction of more than one of the United Nations diplomats who have been observing developments through Dumbarton Oaks and San Francisco down to the meetings of the Security Council in New York and the Big Four Foreign Ministers in Paris. As they see it, Russia is creating a postwar world to suit herself. Already she is well started on a bloc comprising more than half of the habitable globe along with two-thirds of the population. PLAIN TRUTH Frank R. Kent To get down to bedrock facts, there are just two real obstacles to the understanding of, friendship for and confidence in the Rus sians, which is the common desire of the British and ourselves. One, of course, is linguistic; the other and moje,impdrtant ig the thick cloud of secrecy behind which they consistently operate. So far as the first is concerned, it will gradually lessen as more of us learn to speak Russian and more Russians learn to speak Eng lish. As to the seebnd, apparently all we can do is hope that, In the course of time, the Russians will realize that concealment of the facts and a general policy of secrecy does them far more harm than good. The plain truth is that all the enemies of Russia together have not been able to create as much distrust of Russian acts and purposes as Russia herself has created by the recent rigid censor ship which she has clamped on in Iran. CROSS ROADS Thomas L. Stokes In the British load we literally face the test whether we are going ahead or whether we are going to turn back, as we did after World War I. It is exactly that. If we fail in this, the whole structure of international cooperation to which our people have subscribed may begin to crumble. No one needs to be told how tragic that would be. ATOM BOMB Joseph and Stewart AIsop LEST WE FORGET the major problem of our times, it is well to record that the experts now consider New York and Pittsburgh as vulnerable to atomic bombardment as Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The findings of the Strategic Bombing Survey, which has just com pleted its study of war damage in Japan, completely confute the soothing reports which have been disseminated In this, country. There is just no truth in the stories that Japanese cities are more vulnerable than ours; that the concrete structures which survived Hiroshima prove that any modern building will be safe; and so on and so on. UNIONS Marquis Childs The policy of most unions has been reckless and short-sighted since the war ended. It has been aimed at immediate wage rises, even though it was obvious that this would mean a rise in the general price level and perhaps runaway inflation. Lewis' perform ance, if only because of its brashncss and arrogance, is that last straw. Labor will not pay the penalty this year nor perhaps even next year, but it is bound to come. The said thing is that the rank and file, rather than the despotic bosses at the top, will pay the penalty. They will pay for having abdicated their democratic rights to irresponsible leaders. COMMUNISTS Paul Mallon The epochal movement within left-wing labor to shake off the Communists is being quietly helped by the White House. What is - behind it can now be told. Statements and speeches from the southpaw people took the Moscow line on pending international issues, adhering to the same technique as when a union picketed the White House to call Roose velt a war monger for helping Britain before Russia was invaded, and more recently when the State Department was picketed by a union urging ouster of Byrnes for resisting Russian demands.

Boston Globe. Good Samaritan Remembered In Will Of Couple MACON, Ga Twenty years ago a carpenter gave a boost to the couple across the road in San Die go, Calif., to help them through a bad financial time. William Johnston was operating a grocery store and doing part-time carpentry work at the time. When Mr. and Mrs. M. P. Hille told him, "God bless you, we'll re member you in our will for this," he just shrugged. The Hille's had some property, but they needed help badly. He furnished them with groceries, loaned them money to pay taxes, and worked on their home. They were friends and Johnston didn't ask pay or favors in return. He liked them, and wanted to help. Today, Johnston, who now lives in Macon, learned that the Hille's had died and left him $145,000. He isn't sure what he will do with the money. "Maybe 1 11 retire," he says, "or maybe build some of the houses people need so badly right now." k2 Just Arrived Window Curiae PERMANENT FINISH DOTTED $W m i 1 i l 1 j i ruiiieu anu lanuieu siyies.
