lion irrespective of what we may
do to the contrary.”
Need for Leadership
Europe is loafing on the job of
genuine recovery, he believes.
‘‘The day they roll up their sleeves
and go to work, recovery will be
gin.” Visitors find the English and
French, supposedly starving,
working only 40 hours a week.
Mr. Weir asks: “Why don’t they
adopt a six-day week, which
would greatly increase the pro
duction of all materials?” There
are enough resources and man
power. “Given the right kind of
leadership and adequate incen
tives . . . the peoples of Europe
would work harder and more pro
ductively.”
Mr. Weir’s phrases “right kind
of leadership” and “adequate in
centives” suggest the key to this
entire puzzle of Eurc^ean diffi
culties. Take away the profit mo
tive and people lack incentive to
work. Then add tax oppression
and all the decay of leadership
that Europe has had to put up
with. The result is unrest and eco
nomic chaos. Grabbing the near
est “ism” will not bring prosper
ity, nor freedom of any kind, for
anyone. That is the way to shack
les that bind men: hands, feet, and
ideals.
A tendency to develop arthritis
may run in families.

Byrd Tells South
To Be Calm But
Prepared to Fight j
WASHINGTON, (/P) — Senator
Byrd of Virginia gave the Demo
cratic party’s Dixie rebels this ad
vice Saturday:
Hold your fire—but keep your
powder dry.
Byrd told a reporter he wants
the south to be sure where it is go
ing before it cuts long-standing
political ties in the argument over
President Trumap’s civil rights
proposals.
“We must make a calm, deliber
ate decision, on the basis of events
as they happen and then be pre
pared to go through with it to the
end,’’ he said.
Byrd told a party gathering at
Richmond, Va., Friday night that
the south won’t stand for laws set
ting up a fair employment prac
tices <no race or color line> com
mission, making lynching a fed
eral offense and banning poll
taxes and race separation.
But he added that it would be
time enough to decide what to do
if southerners shou’d lose their
fight against enactment of such
legislation by Congress.
Several House members from 11
southern states have adopted a
resolution condemn'ng the Presi
dent’s program.
The southern governors confer
ence on Feb. 8 gave the national
Democratic headquarters 40 days
to toss out the civil rights pro
gram.

MODERN LAUNDRY'
and DRY CLEANERS
Illegal To Beat
Wife With Stick
MONTGOMERY, Ala. f/P)—No
matter who says so, it is still ille
gal for a man to beat his wife with
a stick in Alabama, attorney gen
eral A. A. Carmichael said Friday.
If he does, said the attorney
general, he subjects himself to
prosecution under the law and
also gives grounds for divorce.
Carmichael’s statement came in
reply to an assertion made by a
substitute Soviet delegate before
the United Nations economic and
social council, A. P. Borisov.
Borisov told the social commit
tee of the council that in Alabama
it is legal for a husband to beat
his wife with a stick—if the stick
is less than two inches thick.
Snorted Carmichael,- “Entirely
erroneous and false.”
Would Have Reds
In U. S. Register
WASHINGTON, f/P>—Rep Nix
on <R.-Calif.i predicted Saturday
the House will agree on a law this
year to expose American commun
ists.
His House un-American activi
ties sub-committee closed hearings
yesterday on two bills. One would
outlaw the party, and the other
would make Communists register
publicly as agents of a foreign
power.
House passage probably will be
swift, he said. But, he added, he
would not try to guess whether
the Senate will follow suit.
“We will explore the possibility
of illegalizing the actual case
hardened communist conspira
tors,” Nixon said.
Dollar Steaks OK
$18,000 Damages
TALLAHASSEE, Fla., (A1) — In
these days of dollar steaks, $18,000
is not too much for a market to
pay an injured customer for dam
ages, the Florida supreme court
ruled.
“It availeth little, when cotton
is 50 cents, corn $2,50, steak $1
and common labor $6, to cite cases
that were decided when cotton
was five cents, corn was 50 cents,
steak 25 cents and common labor
one dollar,” the court held Friday
in its majority opinion.
The tribunal, in a 4-3 decision,
upheld a jury’s $18,000 award to
Mrs. Esther K. Scholl for injuries
suffered when she fell in a Fort
Lauderdale supermarket.
