Judge of Probate In the Matter of the Estate of Mary Connolly. Decesd. Altar, XV 4 (Continued From Page One) mobilizes the- constructive forces of mankind for the. victories of peace. "We did not struggle to pre-( vent the domination of the world by the Axis powers only to accept hunger, disease, poverty and insecurity in a world made free by brave men." He said it wss for the council to promote "a fuller recognition of the dignity and worth of the human person, and to advance fundamental rights of man throuth the world." "To this great task," the message eoncluded, "the United States pledges Its full support." AWAITING THE COUNCIL WERE REPORTS from several commissions and preparatory committees outlining a staggering amount of work.

First on the agenda after the amenities was a report of the technical preparatory committee for a health conference to be held here June 19. Then the council will take up consultation with non-governmental agencies and after that will swing into reports of commissions which have been working here and in London for weeks. All of this work will occupy the full time of the council, working either as the full council or in committees, for perhaps a month or so. It was expected that this gathering of the council would be the last before the General Assembly meets in New York Sept. 3.

It was generally agreed among the incoming delegates and experts that the council must find some working arrangement with non-governmental agencies and specialized agencies which already have been set up. The council also must decide whether the various commissions and committees it will establish should be made up of representatives of governments or of experts in the particular fields the committees will cover. The economic and social council has no power to enforce a decision beyond the weight of public opinion which might line up behind it. It is purely an advisory and reeommen datory body. Observers have asserted, however, that tremendous weight would be put behind council decisions whenever the whole body of the general assembly of 51 nations approves them.

Another problem which the council must face is that of the disposition of refugees whether all refugees should be made to return to their homelands or whether they may be allowed to stay where they are now If they do not choose to return because of differences with the present regimes of their countries. Provision has been made already for the return of persons sought as war criminals and quislings who might be hiding as refugees. The question of refugees will come up when the council hears, perhaps early in June, the report of a special committee on refugees and displaced persons which has met in London for more than two months. The council president is Sir Ra-maswami Mudaliar, of India. The United States is represented by John G.

Winant, former United States ambassador to Great Britain. The other nations on the council are: Britain, Belgium, Canada, Chile, China, Colombia, Cuba, Czechoslovakia, France. Greece. Lebanon, Norway, Peru, Ukraine, Russia, and Yugoslavia. Meanwhile, the United Nations Security council was in recess, with prospects of a meeting next week to take up the report it has ordered a sub-committee investigating Spain to make by May 31.

The sub-committee will meet Mon day at 3 p. m. E.D.T. for Its second open session since it began its investigation a month ago. Congress (Continued From Page One) "it is making a great mistake." The speech also seemed to clear the air in the Senate, which has been debating labor disputes legislation for two weeks.

Half an hour after the broadcast, Barkley won unanimous consent on three important decisions: 1. To limit further debate to one half hour by each Senator on the pending strike control bill and each of the 30 or more amendments. 2. To postpone from 1 p. (EST) to 5 p.

m. the vote on a formal "cloture" rule which would, limit each Senator's talking time on the bill and amendments to one hour In all. 3. vote by 1 p. m.

on a proposal by Senator Ball (R-Minn) to impose a 60-day cooling off period on labor disputes where a federal mediation board has intervened. ALTHOUGH BARKLEY DISCOURAGED SPECULATION about the President's legislative recommendations, several senators report ed he would ask Congress to enact penalties against any person who stays on strike after the government has taken over his place of employment. With such legislation on the books, they said, the President could issue a new seizure order against the railroads and the government could prosecute those who persisted in striking. An administration leader disclosed that the Senate's legislative machinery has been set up to whip through in a hurry any new law the President may ask. He said: A bill embodying the reccomen-dations will be ready for Introduction.

It will be Immediately to a committee. The Senate will remain In session while the committee considers the measure, and possibly will even act on It before adjourning. If possible, the administration wants to keep any Presidential bill separate from the measure the Senate has been working on a mild version of the House-approved Case bill. The Case bill, among other things," would make unions subject to damage suits for violation of collective bargaining contracts. That provision, among others, was struck out iV the Senate labor committee.

(Continued From Page One) rural school nurse under whae direc tion the program was effected, by Supervisor Blumrich. "Miss Mc-Donaugh has done an outstanding job," he said. Doctors Are Praised "Equally high praise is deserved by the 12 doctors who gave unstint- uigly of their time and efforts in the school clinics, and by the PTA groups, rural teachers, and other laymen who rolled up their sleeves and worked faithfully to make the project a success. "A feature of the immunization effort was the manner in which Berrien county's three public health nurses co-operated to help make the program successful. "Miss Emma the county tuberculosis nurse, and Mrs.

Mary Hansley, the county crippled children's nurse, pitched in wholeheartedly to assist Miss McDonaugh at the clinics. Mrs. Hansley's participation, had the full approval of the Berrien county crippled children society. She is employed by that private civic organization, to which Berrien county contributes annually. "These three county nurses have co-operated splendidly in all their nursing efforts- in Berrien," Mr Blumrich declared.

Miss McDonaugh was engaged only last October by the board of supervisors to be rural school nurse. She came here with the highest recommendations and is fully quali fied for any public health nursing duties. Prior to securing Miss McDonaugh, the board had searched fruitlessly for a year for a school nurse, none ha been available because of the shortage of nurses. It was pointed out today that un der the county health unit plan be ing urged for Berrien county, the employment of school nurses would be dropped. Industry (Continued From Page One) they serve to amounts of food not greater than their normal require ments before the walkout began.

The governor, stating Michigan was faced with a complete shutfcff of all rail shipments, said he was prepared to use his emergency pow ers to halt food runs or large scale hoarding if the need arose. The request was designed to pro tect the retailer "who Is conscien tiously following the emergency program in his relationship with his customers and further assure the public that if they continue to purchase on a normal supply basis there will be a normal supply avail able to meet their state officials said. While Gov. Kelly said he had heard that "The public ts co-oneiat ing splendidly," grocers in several parts of the state reported abnor mally high sales and nearly empty shelves. Sales in Sandusky were 40 per cent over normal, and Flint buyers had purchased 20 per cent more goods than usual, according to a survey ordered from the Department of Agriculture by the governor.

Heavy buying; also was reported at Jackson, Mt. Pleasant, Williams ton, Port Huron and Ypsilanti.

Dwight D. Eisenhower back a vacation at Savannah, a conference. At the same time tterson disclosed the Army may discharged of the gallons which manned its war le trains in the European, Other officials said tw6 ex-ing rail battalions would be used a personal nucleus if the Army called upon to -restore service on struck lines. The Marine corps altered active serve officers for possible duty in crisis and told discharged Mates and inactive reservists who sh to volunteer for temporary tergency duty that they will be fcepted at recruiting stations. Navy Combs Ranks The Navy began combing its nks for experienced railroaders, iered 150 former Navy fliers to port at the Patuxent, stain, and authorized district com-jndants to call up reserve of-ers.

It also said enlisted volun-jrs would be acceptable and ask-j 960 discharged ground airplane sw enlisted men to return. All services directed commanders I extend the furloughs of men randed away from base. The Wy and Coast Guard limited kves to trips involving travel of i miles or less and the Navy can ned transfers of recruits except oration were ignored. Increased taxes were ignored. Some people were fooled.

Then came the general idea of controlling the value of money, and thus- preventing effective inflationof keeping "inflationary pressures" bottled up. This, of course, was futile, since the inflation of the currency continued. A fourth motive was connected with government borrowing and debt. The price-fixing helped to restrict the demand for goods and investment, and thus hold Interest rates down. As we approach reconversion and a balanced budget, this becomes less important, and would not be desired.

Another motive is trie controlled economy. In order to make the Keynes-Roosevelt "managed currency" work, it became necessary to exercise government control over demand and supply conditions. The subsidy policy played an important part. But this is now being denied how sincerely, who knows? A sixth and seventh motive were political the desire to make a show of "doing something," and to buy votes, particularly the labor vote. These remain strong; but are they good? Eighth is the scheme of profits control.

And a ninth motive is to reform merchandising and marketing by limiting the percentage "markups" of wholesalers and retailersthe "middlemen." You see, the profits system of incentive is a vital part of the price system of free private enterprise! Just look these "motives" over. What do they add up to? 1900 Plant Closes Until Rail Strike Comes To An End With shipping facilities and parts suppliers completely tied up by the nation-wide railroad strike, the 1900 Corporation closed its doors last night for the duration of the transportation emergency. Operations at the big washer plant will remain closed until the railroads resume operations, opening the day following the settlement of the strike. Stating that the surest and quickest way to shut down 1900 was by taking away its railroad facilities, management officials indicated that one of the major reasons for closing was a lack of storage space for finished washers. No storage facilities are included in 1900 streamlined methods of production.

There is a continuous flow of materials through the plant. Raw steel and manufactured parts are continuously shipped into the plant, built into washers and immediately shipped to the consumer. Less than a day's production of finished washing machines can be stored. Present production schedules call for 12 to 15 freight cars a day, rolling into the company's sidings empty and leaving the same day loaded with washing machines. Supervisors (Continued Prom Page One) committee, has stated that the 1947 budget will be approximately as against a $375,000 budget for 1948.

Tax Sates Cited Supervisor E. C. Knott, of Benton Harbor, member of the finance committee, pointed out that the 1946 county tax rate was four mills and that 4.3 mills will be required to' meet the tentative budget outlined for the next fiscal year, January 1, 1947 to December 31, 1947. Knott said this morning that if an allocation is voted for the health department it will undoubtedly be necessary to increase the county tax rate. In this event, he said, it would mean that the percentage of taxes raised within the 15-mill tax limitation for schools would be reduced.

He added that nearly half of the school districts in the county already use all of the difference between the approximately six mills used by the county and townships and the 15-mill ceiling. An increase in the county tax rate, would result in a revenue decrease for such school districts, Knott said. Supervisor Charles Blumrich, of Benton Harbor, chairman of the board's health and welfare committee, stated today his committee will make its report on the health department question at Monday's meeting. What the committee's recommendations would be, Blum-rich did not disclose. Blumrich did add that if the board does not establish a health department, it probably would; however, grant some increase in health facilities.

May 31 Deadline For AAA Farm Plan Pinal date for signing up under the 1946 AAA program is May 31 ior those growers who wish to par ticipate, Martin H. Kretchman, chairman of the Berrien AAA com mittee emphasised today. Those who desire to sign should d- so at once, Mr. Kretchman said, as no farm plans will be signed after June 1, 1946. 4 Champlain's Memorial The memorial shaft to Samuel Champlain is a lighthouse.

It is located at Crown Point, N. and is used to save the lives of those who sail the waters of the lake discovered by champlain -and working conditions. Thus major interest centered on what Mr. Truman will say to Congress. THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE, IN HIS RADIO SPEECH, went over the heads of union leaders to call upon the striking railmen to return to work.

"To each man now out on strike I say the the duty to your country goes beyond any desire for personal gain," he declared. The effectiveness of the appeal was yet to be proven, but in one case a joint committee of the striking brotherhoods at Buffalo later wired the unions chiefs that 1,500 trainmen there were "still 100 per cent behind you." Mr. Truman asserted he doubted whether the union rank and file realized the tragic effects their strike was causing. He spoke particularly of the disruption of famine relief shipments, declaring that 100,000 tons of grain are being held up by the rail stoppage. People abroad are living from hand to mouth, he said, and de pendent on American relief shipments to meet "their minimum daily needs." "This grain held up in this country by the strike of these few men means the difference between life and death to hundreds of thousands of persons.

This is the tragic truth. If the operation of our rail roads is not resumed at once, thousands of persons, both here and abroad, will starve. "I doubt whether the rank and file of the unions have been told these facts. I am telling them now so that each one of them can face his conscience and consider the spectre of starvation and death that will result from following the course which Mr. Whitney and Mr.

Johnston are Mr. Truman was quite brief in announcing his intention to call in the armed forces if the strikers fail to heed his appeal to return to work this afternoon. "As head of your government," he declared, "I have no alternative but to operate the trains by wing every means within my power. "I shall call upon the Army to assist the office of defense transportation in operating the trains and I shall ask our armed forces to furnish protection to every man who heeds the call of his country in this hour of need." There was an unaccustomed bite in Mr. Truman's voice time and again when he referred to the two brotherhood leaders, Whitney and Johnston.

"It is inconceivable," he said, "that in our democracy any two men should be placed in a position where they can completely stifle our economy and ultimately destroy our country." HE TOOK THE TWO MEN TO TASK because they "refused to arbitrate" and "rejected" an emergency government board's recommendation for a strike settlement. "I assume," he observed, "that these two men know the terrible havoc that their decision has caused and the even more extreme suffering that will result in the future. It is inconceivable that the rank and' file of these two unions realize the terrifying situation created by the action of these two men." The President said that he had warned Whitney and Johnston in advance what the effects of a strike would be, but he added: "They have refused to heed my warning." "As President of the United States, I am the representative of 140,000,000 people and I can not stand idly by while they are being caused to suffer by reason of the action of these tw, men. This is no contest between labor and management. This is a contest between a small group of men and their government.

The railroads are now being operated by your government and the strike of these men is a strike against their government. The fact is that the action of this small group of men has resulted in millions of other workers losing their wages."

"In returning to work on this basis we know that we can rely also on your fairness and good will to keep the door open to further consideration of those differences regarding working rules changes which apply to the membership of our two unions and in which the non-operating rail unions have no interest," the letter said. WASHINGTON, May 25-(AP) President Truman, in the sternest mood the nation has seen him, carried the rail crisis to Congress today, branding it a strike against the government and 140,000,000 Americans. With an extraordinary joint session waiting to hear him at 4 p. E.S.T., the President posted an ultimatum that he intended to use the Army to end the paralyzing tieup unless the striking engineers and trainmen return to their jobs by that time. The welfare of the country must come first," he declared in appealing to the strikers to man the trains again.

Mr. Truman gave no further hint, in laying the rail strike problem before the people in a radio address last night, just what legislative recommendations he might present to Congress on the subject. However, key Democratic lawmakers reported that under consideration was a drastic act empowering the government to penalize all striking against enterprises under federal control, such as the seized railroads. Democratic Leader Barkley (Ky.) promised the Senate Mr. Truman's speech wil contain "definite and specific" proposals.

THE BACKGROUND FOR MR. TRUMAN'S APPEARANCE before the joint session was one of great gravity and apprehension. In its second day, the strike was tightening the stranglehold on the country's Industry and commerce, disrupting reconversion timetatbles for weeks to c6mea It had housewives nervous about food supplies. And it was piling up an incalculable cost in industrial, civic and personal losses. The president sketched the whole prospect quickly when he spoke last night.

"All of you wil see your food supplies dwindle, your health and safety endangered, your streets darkened, your transportation facilities broken down," he said. "The added inflationary pressure caused by the drop in production cannot be measured." Mr. Truman placed the responsibility for the strike squarely on Al-vanley Johnston, president of the Brotherhood of Railway Engineers, and A. F. Whitney, president of the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen, He charged them with spurning a strike peace plan for increased wages which was accepted by the 18 other major railroad brotherhoods.

The two union leaders had nothing to say after listening to the President's broadcast, but Initial Capitol Hill comment backed the militant tone he had taken, and the White House reported a quick and favorable response from the country at large. Meanwhile Senator Pepper (O-FU) declared titer a post Court his final administration account, and his petition praying for the allowance thereof and for the assignment and distribution of the residue of said estate.
