in business and industry, in labor,
and in professional life, we would
sink to the level of some of our
critics. Keeping what we have
built upon so well in the past, we
can make it possible to reach con-1
tinually an ever higher standard
of living, with wages that are the!
envy of workers in every land, i
We take a lot of things' fori
granted. Yet we have a job to do.
If we are businessmen, let us not
only sell the product we make but
let us sell the product as a symbol
of the freedom under which it is
made. If we are workmen, let us
cnrsider our jobs as by-products
of the freedom under which we
live. And no mateer what we are,
let us know that this sweet land
of liberty offers us a freedom of
ooportunity as individuals that we
can find nowhere else on this
planet.

Labor Party
Endorsed Bevin
MARGATE, England, (^—For
eign Secretary Ernest Bevin won
an almost unanimous vote of con
fidence on his administration of
British foreign affairs from the
Labor’s party’s annual conference
today.
Scarcely more than a score of
the 1,200 delegates voted for reso
lutions critical of Bevin’s foreign
policy. The vote was by a show
of hands and no official count was
taken.
The endorsement followed a 90
minute speech in which Bevin ac
cused left-wing labor members of
Parliament of stabbing him in the
back while be was engaged in im
portant discussions with the
United States government.

Agriculture Bill
WASHINGTON, (IP) — The Re
publican Congressional economy
drive was still rolling along today,
but it was beginning to develop
some squeaks.
By a slim six-vote margin, and
only after a $40,000,000 compro
mise,* the GOP leadership shoved
an $847,601,976 agriculture de
partment appropriation bill for
1948 through the**House last night
and over to the Senate.
This brought to slightly over
$2,610,000,000 the claimed savings
in the House drive to cut $6,000,
000,000 from the President’s bud
get for the year starting July 1.
Agree On German
Economic Council
BERLIN, (/P) — United States
and British occupation authorities
agreed today upon the establish
ment of an all-German economic
council—first step toward a united
German self government — to
speed reconstruction of their eco
nomically merged zones.
This agreement, subject of
weeks of discussion, was announc
ed by the American military gov
ernor, Gen. Lucius D. Clay, and
the British deputy military gov
ernor, L. Gen. Sir Brian Robert
son.
The exact size of the economic
council was not announced, but
American informants said it
would be approximately 54 mem
bers. This would represent a com
promise between the British de
sire for as large a body as possible
and the U. S. leaning toward a
smaller group.

Colonel Sentenced
To Ten Years
—
YOKOHAMA, (/P) — Edward J.‘
Murray, a colonel of infantry who
won his decorations in combat,
heard an army court martial sen
tence him to ten years imprison
ment for misappropriation of a
fortune in diamonds he had taken
home as “souvenirs of war ...”
Murray stood silent,, should"
sagging, as#the sentence was read.
The Palo Alto, Calif., officer
was convicted of all six specifica
tions filed against him—covering
misappropriation of the stones and
failure to declare them or pay cus
toms on them. In addition to serv
ing ten years at hard labor, he was
ordered dismissed from the serv
ice with forfeitui% of all pay and
allowances.
Although the jewels he was
charged with taking during his
custodianship of the Bank of
Japan vaults were valued at first
at $210,000, the court reduced this
to $92,000.
TRAFFIC LESSON
OKLAHOMA CITY, UP)—Police
held a traffic safety school and
only one man showed up. He lis
tened intently, took notes and
asked questions.
Five minutes after class was
dismissed, he returned to police
headquarters escorted by two of
ficers.
He was charged with running a
stop sign.
Bad Weather
Delays Corn Crop
CHICAGO, (/P)—Field work in
the nation’s corn belt already de
layed by spring rains, was near a
standstill yesterday because of
rain, snow and sleet and farmers
were warned a late spring frost
may sweep across sections of the
midwest.
A mass of cold air from the
Mackenzie basin in Canada ex
tended over the area and temper
atures dropped to near freezing in
many sections and below 32 de
grees in parts of the Dakotas and
Minnesota.
Snow fell to a depth of 12
inches in Nebiaska, to more tnan
five inches in Wyoming and mea
sured four inches in Iowa. Snow
and sleet also swept over parts of
Colorado, Minnesota, South Dako
to and Wisconsin. The lowest tem
perature in the cold belt was 15
above at Eckman, N. D.
In San Jose, Calif., orchardists
said that a helicopter which flew
at almost treetop altitude saved a
$250,000 cherry crop from heavy
damage in the wake of a rain.
They said the helicopter’s down
draft blew raindrops from the
fruit, which would have swollen,
if left wet, and burst under a hot
sun.
Veterans Administration estim
ates it has a potential of 20,000,000
customers for benefits under laws
which it administers.
