TODAY’S SQUIB: Old Confu-
cius was asked about 500 B.C.
whether man should return good
for evil. “What then,” he asked,
would you return for good?” This
sounds reasonable, especially in
international affairs. The Chinese
sage added, ‘Tor good, return
good; .Cor evil, return justice.”
After 2,400 years this principle
still seems wise.

The deer hunters are beginning
to return home—some with stories
of good luck and others not so
good. Dr R. E. Erisman, who was
hunting with \y. D. Richards and
'Tom Duncan near Johnson City,
said his group did not bag any
game but they enjoyed the trip.
If Doc had not been too observant
of the law he could have brought
back a big buck. It was on Fri-
day afternoon, just before season
oened, that a big buck walked
, of the bushes right in front
)f him—and thinking it best to
until tomorrow, Doc missed
his chance as he never got a shot j

ened.

Dr. Raymond Burford had a little
better luck hunting in a pasture
adjoining the one on which the
other Ennisites were hunting. Wal-
lace got one buck and Raymond
bagged two.
And just a little story illustrat-
ing that it pays to wait until sea-
son opens was told by Doc Eris-
man. It seems that a rifle was
Truman Keeps
Close Watch on
UIMW Happenings
Key West, Fla., Nov. 20, (UP) —
From his vacation retreat in Sou-
thernmost Florida, President Tru-
man kept a close watch today on
the government’s fight to prevent
the scheduled walkout at midnight
by John L. Lewis’ United Mine
Workers (AFL).
Mr. Truman was encouraged by
reports from Washington that the
press and the public appeared
scrongly behind the administra-
tion’s decision to, battle Lewis to
keep the mines open.
The President, who was person-
ally guiding the government’s stra-
tegy, kept in touch with develop-
ments in Washington by telephone
and special courier.
He managed to find time, how-
ever, to do some swimming and
loafing under the Florida sun to
shake off the effects of a cold.
The presidential party at the
navy’s submarine base here will
be joined this afternoon by Re-
conversion Director John R. Steel-
man, and Steelman’s No. 1 advis-
er, Judge John C. Collet of Kan-
sas City. Also’ in the party fly-

CIO Predicts
High Profits
For Industry
Atlantic City, N. J., Nov. 20, (UP)
The CIO hitched its new wage
drive today to its claim that A-
merican industry would earn the
“highest corporate profits in his-
tory” in 1947, an estimated $9,500,-
000,000 after taxes.
Philip Murray was reported
ready to back up the viewpoint of
Walter Reuther, President of the
United Auto Workers, expressed
in last winter’s General Motors
negotiations t.’ at industry is able
to pay wage increases without in-
flationary ptrice rises and still
make profits exceeding war and
pre-war levels.
There will be no demand for a
“look at the books,” such as Reu-
ther made, CIO sources said, and
the campaign for pay boosts will
be kept in low gear until after
the coal crisis is settled.
The CIO estimated industry’s
1947 profits in the “economic out-
look,” monthly publication issued
today. It expanded the “ability to
pay” theme of Murray’s keynote
address opening the CIO’s eighth
convention last Monday. The 1946
profits of all manufacturing corp-
orations after taxes were estimat-
ed at $7,000,000,000 or $2,000,-
000,000 higher than the all-time
peak average from 1942 to 1945.

Fort Worth, Tex., Nov. 20, (UP)
—Southwest Conference school re-
presentatives will vote after the
Nov. 30 Rice-Bayior game on their
choice for the spot of host team

Iscrw Year’s Day.
The vote will be taken only if
Rice finishes off its schedule to

day, and if the giant-killing Horn-
ed Frogs who last weekend smear-
ed Texas turns back the Rice team

coveted Dallas Bowl bid will go
automatically to Arkansas, which
already has cinched a tie.

. ar University, president of the

after an all-night fight against
Si row and steep cliffs. -

OPA Announces
Cost of Sugar
To Go Up Again
Washington, Nov. 20, (UP)—The
cost of sugar is going up again,
this time by about one-half cent
a pound.
The increase—which adds an es-
timated $50,000,000 to . the nation’s
annual food bill—was ordered by
OPA to reflect price boosts paid
to producers.
The increased prices will be ef-
fective for consumers as the high-
er jpriced supplies reach retail

Southeast of Veracruz, the veteran
Congressman told delegates to the
41st annual Intracoastal Canal As-
sociation convention here • yester-
day.
Mansfield said he favor.ed Puer-
to Mexico because it was located at
the-mouth of the deep Coatzacoal-
cos River which runs almost a-
cross Mexico and whifch he believes
may one day provide the route for
a new canal linking the Gulf with
the Pacific;
Mansfield -said he had traveled
in a small boat up the Coatzaco-
alcos River and that. the stream
apparently would provide an ex-
cellent route for barge transpor-
tation collecting the coastal port
with Mexico.
Eventually, he believes, it would
provide the most' logical channel
to follow in digging a new canal
to supplement the Panama Canal
as a deep sea conection with the
Pacific.

was the theme of the address de-
livered by J. C. Carter, executive

Mr. Carter, who was introduced
by H. M. Pruitt, president of the
Southern Pacific .Service Club, in
speaking of our enormous debt, and
the problems confronting our gov-
ernmental agencies today, said that
we will never realize more than
we put into it. It was a splendid
address and received a splendid
ovation.

nor Suckow of Chicago, 111., sang

Soviet Union
Seeks Direct
Action on Trieste
New York, Nov. 20, (UP)—The
Soviet Union may have upset big
four prospects for an early final
agreement on Trieste today with
a surprise and belated appeal to
Italy and Yugoslavia to settle their
dispute over the city and their
future frontier by direct negotia-
tion.
The Soviet move was tantamount
to an invitatioh to Italy and Yu-
goslavia to ignore the big four
agreement reached earlier this
week for setting up an Anglo-
American type of international re-
gime in the proposed free territory
of Trieste.
(The British Broadcasting Cor-
poration reported that the Italian
foreign office in Rome already had
announced instructions to its Am-
bassador, Alberto Tarchiani, in
Washington, to enter at once di-
rect negotiations with the Yugo-
slav ambassador to the United
States, .Sava Kasanovich.)
-A . V
Washington, Nov. 20, (UP)—Ar-
my troops were lerted today and
an air of tension gripped the na-
tion as the zero hour drew steadi-
ly nearer for a walkout by John
L. Lewis’ soft coal miners at mid-
night tonight.
Justice Department officials wat-
ched Lewis closely in the belief
he would make a sudden legal ma-
neuver during the day to upset
the government’s campaign in the
courts to prevent the mine shut-
down,
Both sides in the dispute were
conducting a' war of nerves, Lewis
by his silence, his United Mine
Workers by their wildcat walkouts,
and the government by its reminder
that troops might be sent into the
coal fields. More than 100,000 min-
ers already were idle, striking pre-
maturely to support Lewis in his
battel with the administration.
Justice Department officials be-
lieved Lewis would break his silence
today by moving into court to con-
test the restraining order obtained
by the government. The order di-
rected him to revoke a contract
termination notice which the gov-
ernment interpreted as a signal
for the miners to strike at mid-
night tonight in government-oper-
ated bituminous mines. „
If he failed to comply, Lewis
j risked jail or a fine for contempt
of court. .

UN Debate on
Disarmament
Begins Today
Lake Success, N. Y., Nov. 20
(UP)—The United Nations begin
debate today on World Disarma-
ment.
The first sten was scheduled for
the UN General Assembly’s polit-
ical and Security Committee. Del-
egates of the 54 United Nations
were primed for a debate on the
size and disposition of the Allied
armed forces and bases strung
around the earth.
For Russia, leader in the revival
of world disarmament talk, Soviet
Foreign Minister V. M. Molotov—
or possibly Vice Foreign Minister
Andrei I. Vishinsky—was ready to
press for a decision on the specif-
ic issue before the committee. A
Soviet request that all United Na-
tions be required to report on the
size and location of armed forces
and baser in foreign “non-enemy”
territories.
Sen. Tom Connally, D., Tex., of
the American delegation was set
to repeat that the United States
wants to extend the Soviet propo-
sal. The United States has al-
ready said it would try to make the
Allies report on the size and loca-
tion of “all” their armed forces—
those at home as well as abroad.
Boy Scout Monthly
Board of Review
To be Held Tuesday
The regular monthly Board of
Review for the Scouts has been
moved to Tuesday, November 26,
at 5 p.m. at the Tabernacle Bap-
tist Church since the regular date
falls on Thanksgiving, according to
43-year-old Robert F„ Hannegan in
that Job.
Mr. Truman may have to look
for a new Postmaster General, also
Announcement that Hannegan had
been ordered to take a complete
rest was accompanied by word from
his associates that he was expect-
ed to resign the committee chair-
manship shortly. His cabinet ten-
ure will depend, the United Press
was informed, on how much his
vacation improves his health.
Hannegan suffers ' from high
blood pressure, an affliction not
uncommon in politics, and witf. be
away from Washington until Jan.
15.
Gov. Robert S. Kerr of Oklaho-
ma, whose term now is expiring, is
most prominently mentioned as
Hannegan’s successor as commit-
tee chairman. Hannegan’s own
choice probably would be second
assistant postmaster general Gael
Sullivan. Others whose names
have figured in speculation are
Price Administrator Paul Porter
and undersecretary of interior Os-
car Chapman.
The Democrats National Com-
mittee is tentatively scheduled to
meet here in January at which
time Eiannegan’s resignation would
be accepted and a successor sought.
