5N, June 25 — (UP) —
Minister Churchill, as-
of solid labor party sup-
will accept a vote on the
most hostile of five House of
Commons motions a£ a two-day
fUU dress debate next week on
the Libya defeat, it was indicat-
ed today.
Sir John Wardlaw-Milne, con-
servative, laid down the motion
today with 20 supporting signa-
tures:
"That this house, while
paying tribute to the hero*
ism and endurance of the
armed forces of the crown in
circumstances of exceptional
difficulty, has nc confidence
In the central direction of
the war.'* It wus aimed at
the prime minister in his
capacity as minister of de-
fense.
Time For Signing Up
7 A. M. To 9 P. M.;
200,000 In Texas
Cripps declined to say that the
prime minister himself wouid
be back for the debate but told
the house:
Cripps said the issue would
be fought out in the open, and
that it was not proposed to
make any part of the debate sec-
ret on the plea of military nec-
essity.
The only friendly motion ex-
presses confidence in the gov-
ernment’s general direction of
the war, but urged that the prin-
ciple of unified, command should
be paramount in all operations.

if/ Joe Marsh
Mavbb I shouldn’t admit it, but
there are a few things about this
writing job I really like.
F rinstanee, I like the part where
. . . after all the writin’ and the
routine is done ... I just set hack
and think about things in general.
(Oh, yes, that’s part of the job,
too.)
After nil . . . when you stop to
think about it . . . beer is a simple,
natural thing. I read somewhere
that all it’s made of is good, whole-
some farm grains and water and a
little yeast... with hops for flavor.
Nature's process of fermentation
and the age-old art of the brewer
does the rest.
Doesn't matter much what. I
think about. Sometimes I concen-
trate on one thing. Sometimes I
think of lots of things, one right
after the other.
I guess that's why beer is so
wholesome. It really is the bever-
age of moderation. You Just can’t
imagine anybody getting into trou-
ble drinking a few glasses of beer.
Hearing In Kiklay
Case Being Held
AUSTIN, Tex.. June 25—(UP)
—The state supreme' court has
requested all members of the ;
two commissions that assist the
court to sit with the three court
judges this afternoon and hear
arguments on whether James E.
Kilday is entitled to run un-op
posed for the democratic nomi-
nation for state railroad com-
missioner to succeed Jerry Sad-
ler who has entered the army.
in me judges will therefore
consider the case in which two
judges of the court of civil ap-
peals al Fort Worth decided in
favor of Kilday and one dis-
sented.
Usually, when I get to thinkin’,
’ I send down for some beer. Seems
a glass of heel not only touches
the spot but it also sort of helps
the thinkiiT mood along.
Weil, here I am . . . going on
and on thinking and talking about
beer. Probably could go on for
hours. That’s the way I am when
I set back and get to thinking
about things.
It’s such a peaceful, friendly
beverage. Sort of honest and hu-
man. And it tastes good.
I like to hold my glass of beer
up to the light and look through
it. That beautiful, golden-amber
color kind of fascinates me. Re-
minds meof thesunnybarley fields
where beer gets its start.
And by the way, talcing it easy
and “just thinkin’ ” is fun. Try it
sometime . . . quiet and comfort-
able like.
