profit there’s not a chance for
good wages to continue.
Without dividends, there’s no
attraction to new venture capital.
New investments are important to
the welfare of everyone. We need
prosperous industries. Yet, who
wants to invest hard-earned dol

a profit? Active production lines,
in industries that can show a pro
fit are the basis of America’s pros
perity and high standard of living.
Profit is our best incentive.

‘ Get Rid Of”
‘Reactionaries’
(Continued from Page One)
addressing a farmers’ and peas
ants’ rally sounded a keynote of a
campaign against “domestic and
foreign reaction.” He said: "We
will have a complete change.
Gottwald made his statement at
the opening of a farmers’ and
peasants’ rally here.
“Merely changing a few people
in the government is not enough,”
he declared. “New stage settings
are not enough. We will become
merciless in getting rid of agents
of domestic and foreign reaction.”
The new Communist-controlled
government began to spread its
influence over school and other in
stitutions.
The government radio kept giv
ing announcements indicating the'
pattern for the future.
Zdenek Nejedly, new education
minister, said, “The schools must
be political, just as the army must
be political.” He said new text
books would be prepared.
The radio predicted action
against anybody who made
speeches in Slovakia against the
state.
Rude Pravon, communist news
paper, said school officials in Usi
in northern Bohemia had been or
dered to display pictures of prime
minister Stalin in all schoolrooms.

years ago Max Lohbrunner and
his 30-foot troller were blown into
an upcoast cove by a storm. While
ashore he found what appeared to

Sunday, Lohbrunner was noti

find was ambergris, the second
such discovery in the Pacific
Northwest in 15 years.
At $10 an ounce, Lohbrunner
figures the “ill winds” blew him
into approximately $640.

Moon Takes Bow

PHILADELPHIA, (A*) — Now
the moon is on television. Dr. Roy
Marshall, director of the Franklin

telescope focused on the moon and
that lunar body was “on the air
for nearly a minute.”
“This is the first time that as
tronomy has been put on televi

“It opens up many possibilities.
An astronomer may soon be able
