Mr. Shafer will return to Washington Sunday. Mr. Shafer condemned "Rule 21," a house rule passed in 1949 to prevent the rules committee from pigeonholing laws indefinitely. The rule can force the house to consider legislation that in obviously not in the public's Interest.

Mr. Shafer claimed. Thus Rule 21 can prevent full consideration of necessary laws, he added. holiday snapshots A car driven by Wayne Dubson. 47.

He suffered a deep laceration of his left knee, and was admitted to Leila hospital. Dubson said ne was driving eastward on Dickman road, and tried to turn left onto Upton avenue.

He told Battle Creek township police that he swerved to miss a car ap He explained Rule 21 this way. "It provides that whin the rules committee fails within 21 days to give any bill reported out by a legislative committee the green light for floor consideration, the legislative committee chairman can obtain recognition by the speaker of the house to call up his bill for immediate action." Mr. Shafer called passage of this rule, "under heavy pressure from the White house," the breaking down of "one of the last remaining safeguards in the house against the advance of the Trtiman socialist state." He claimed that in screening legislative measures which had been approved by house committees, the rules committee acted as "a servant of the house, and not its master." Any member of the house who felt that the rules committee had acted wrongly in pigeonholing a bill could initiate a petition to have the bill called up for action. Mr. Shafer said.

Signatures to the petition by a bare majority of house members were sufficient to over-rule the rules committee.

Richard Warren, Michigan State college animal husbandry instructor and coach of the livestock judging team, complimented the croup on having one of the most active livestock clubs in the state.

Carl Winter, Michigan state party chairman, said the convention was being held despite "attempts to incite violence against our party." Winter, one of the 11 top Red leaders appealing their conviction for conspiring to advoca'e forcible overthrow of the government, said the convention will seek to forge a "common front of all forces in the country for peace." Assails 'Atom Maniacs' Benjamin J. Davis, Negro former city councilman, Harlem party chairman and one of the convicted 11, told the Manhattan rally that "insane atom maniacs" are trying to get the U. S.

Into a Third World war. "American Imperialists, can no longer kick around the darker people of the world," he said. "It gives us double pride that the American Imperialists suffered one of the greatest political setbacks ever from the Koreans and Chinese the very people they hate and despise." Bernadette Doyle, a California party member who said she received 600,000 votes as an unsuccessful candidate for the state school board In the last election, said that "California is sick and tired of a school system full of loyalty oaths."

"It is actually a question of whether, under Rule 21. the house can ever find time to consider adequately the highly important legislation which is essential to our survival as a free nation, in these days of war and international chaos," he said. The 81st congress didn't get around to the consideration of much legislation that was badly needed, Mr. Shafer stated. Much of what was enacted failed to get the careful consideration it deserved, he added.

Even the subversive activities control act of 1950, introduced in congress as the McCarran-Mundt-Nixon bill, was so loosely drawn, and was passed by both house and senate with so little study, that the 82nd congress probably will have to amend it in some important particulars to make it really effective," the lawmaker pointed out. Explains Failure He attributed "the failure of the 81st congress to perform all of the duties for which it was elected" to the fact that no legislative measure can be passed without votes being taken on all of its parts, and on proposed amendments, as well as on the measure as a whole. "This procedure is one of the most important safeguards of American liberties, because it tends to prevent passage of any bill without the knowledge of every member of congress," he said. But. he added, the result is that customarily the house votes on an average of 40,000 times in each session of congress.

A resolution introduced nearly a year ago by Rep. Gene Cox," of Georgia, a leader of the southern conservative Democrats, would have restored to the rules committee its traditional powers. But it was defeated. "But the southern Democrats then lacked another full year of experience with the effects of Rule 21," Mr. Shafer said.

"Now it seems they have learned their lesson." he added, and declared, "You may be sure that an effort to eliminate this iniquitous house rule, born of the Truman administration's desire to bring state socialism to America, will be made the first day of the 82nd congress." NYLONS Dr. Wu made his prediction to the Lakeview Kiwanis club at the weekly dinner meeting held in the Riverside Country club. "I can't tell you for sure why I am sure the Nationalists will invade the mainland soon but I am certain they will," he said. "And just the other day I became more certain of it after learning that the present governor of Formosa hinted there would be such an invasion during the month of March." Dr. Wu called on his background and acquaintance with many Chinese leaders in discussing the Chinese situation.

He is on leave of absence as medical director of the Shanghai Medical center and left there the last time just a year ago. "If it had not been for the decisions at Yalta which sold out the Chinese, and the American government's failure to help Chiang Kai-shek when he was fighting bitterly against the Chinese Communists, Americans today would not be fighting in Korea. Instead the Chinese soldiers would be fighting Communists," he said. Dr. Wu believes that Chiang has been much maligned although he concedes that the vast majority of the Chinese people were fed up with the Nationalist government because of its economic plight and welcomed Communism as something different that might bring relief.

"Today these same people are eager to get rid of the Communists and I believe the people will welcome the return of Generalissimo Chiang. I also believe that when the Nationalists get control of China again Chiang will resign If a responsible leader can be selected to succeed him." Dr. Wu said. The program chairman was Gordon McCaleb. Following the regular meeting a special board meeting was held at which committee chairmen for the new year outlined their plans to President-elect Ben Arnquist.

$1.10 tic fxti costing $30,600, to be charged off in five years. The normal time for charging production machinery off the company book is 15 years, he said. Mr. Curott said the effect of the government order would be to reduce United Steel Wire tax payments somewhat. Save in Taes The tax savings will be used to pay for the war production machines during the period that they are used for making war goods.

Mr. Curott said the government, in issuing tax amortization certificates, assumes that defense goods machines are useless for civilian production. Therefore, he added, the government permits manufacturers to charge off, or depreciate, defense production machines during the national emergency period. United Steel Wire started production of 20,000 bales of barbed wire in October. The National Security Resources Board also granted tax amortization certificates to the Albion Malleable Iron Co.

in Albion, for defense machines costing $1,353,330: to Chrysler for and to the Carboloy of Detroit, $2,519,215. Benham and James Wilson of Homer, Ursula Gallagher. Charles Cassie and Henrv Boehmer of Marshall. Countv Agent B. E.

Henry traced the development and continued success of the club as a family affair. "One of tiie prime reasons the club has succeeded is because we have kept it a family proposition." Mr. Henry said. Following the talks, square dance calling was done by Jack Henry. UN Charged with Only Providing 'Lip Service' GRAND RAPIDS IT) William C.

Vandenberg, lieutenant governor-elect, charges the United Nations with giving only "lip service" in the war on Communism. Vandenberg, a Republican from Holland, told a Grand Rapids Lions club meeting: "There is no question but what we've taken a licking in Korea. If the UN would help with something other than lip service, things might be different. "Idealogically I feel the UN program is right but I question whether it can stand on its own feet," he said. "I question whether we can put out little fires all over the would.

If the time comes when there is nothing to do but get out of Korea, regardless of our loss, of face, I'm for it." 0 Some ccU "Plain MIDGET KIM ODE IIOMEHY SHOP 29 W.
