That the council adjourn debate on the China representation question for three days to give them time to consult their governments. MUSI DOMINATE, STILL STALIN; VIEW MOSCOW CU.PJ Premier Josef Stalin reaffirmed his pre-war view that as long as capitalism encircles it the Soviet state rfBist grow stronger instead of weaker or it will be destroyed.

I Stalin's pronouncement was regarded here as one of. the most important recently in the field of practical application of Marxism. It appeared in the magazine Bolshevik, one of the most authorita tive organs of the -Communist world. Stalin assailed dogmatic Marxists for holding that Marxist formulas worked out in one particular period are valid forever, and must never change. i Wants War Use For Lustron Plant WASHINGTON W-Rep.

Vorys (R-Ohio) said he is looking inio use of the old Lustron prefab-rication housing plant for production of war planes or other defense materials. The big plant now stands idle In Columbus, Ohio, while two conflicting federal court actions aye being fought for possession of the Lustron assets, some of i which are housed in it. Rep. Vorys pointed-, out that the sprawling factory buildings, built during the war to produce planes, are owned by the government and are not Involved in the court fight. VI am making inquiry, to "see whether the Lustron plant can't be returned to its original use, the production of planes, or other needed items," Vorys told a aim Zahn Dry Goods Racine's oldest independent department store, has been sold to Zahns, a newly organized corporation headed by Ellis Goldstein, of Milwaukee.

Russell V. Zahn, president of Zahn Dry said the transaction includes purchase of the four-story building at Monument Square and Fifth the annex to the south of the main building, the company name, and the store merchandise. Will Retain Name. Goldstein said the store would continue under the name, Zahns, and that the traditional policies of long standing, established by the Zahn family, would continue. The present4sales force will be retained and the new corporation plans to further the development and Imp rov e-ments begun by the Zahn Goldstein added.

Several Racine businessmen are among the shareholders in Zahns, Goldstein revealed. He said Milton legal counsel for Zahn Dry Goods would remain in that capacity for the new corporation. 1 Goldstein emphasized the store will continue under local control. Zahnsr is a wholly independent corporation with the controlling share of stock owned by the new 43-year-old president. Moving to Racine.

Goldstein beganhis business career when he was 20 years old in Baltimore, where he was born. For the past 15 years he has been associated with the Boston Store in Milwaukee, first as a buyer and since the war as general mer chandising manager. uoldstein now lives with his wife and 10-year-old child a ox Jfoint, but he said he plans to move here with his family and become an active member of the community as soon' as possible. The Zahn store was founded by the late Edward Zahn, on Sept. 15, 1893.

His first store was opened at 428 Main in the present location of Neisner Inc. The company began operation with a capitalization of $8,000 and three clerks. The growing business soon expanded to the second floor of the building and by 1916 expansion necessitated larger quarters. In 1916 the Zahn store moved into the two-story Wolff Clothing Co. building at 434.436 Main St Six years later the rapidly expanding business added still further space by taking over another two-story building, north of its own building.

As the business continued to grow and conditions indicated need for larger quarters, the Zahn family decided to erect its own building. On Oct. 6, 1925, the Zahn Dry Goods Co. moved into its present building, rated at that time as one of the outstanding department store buildings in the midwest. Edward Zahn, died on Oct.

7, 1930, at the age of 65. Control of the store passed to his sons, Edward, and Russell. Edward Zahn, retired from business in 1948, after 32 years with the firm. Russell Zahn said today he had no immediate plans for the future. Draftee Not in Doubt About His Preference HAMMOND, Ind.

U.R One of the young men who gathered here this morning for a trip to Indianapolis for pre-induction physical examination in the draft was asked what service he would prefer. "Civil," he replied. ctween the Lines By Tex Reynolds Reds9 Mailing Lists; Gems of Literature; Folks With Madrons qOME Racine citizens want to know how you get on a Communist mailing list. And when you're on, is there any way of getting off? In recent weeks," the Reds hereabout have stepped op their mail propaganda campaign like nobody's business. Many people who "have never received Communist literature before ace getting It now.

More than a few have sent or brought their copies to this office. I have quite a eollec- tion of pamphlets. They attack Republicans, Democrats, General MacArthur, manufacturers, labor leaders in fact, practically everything and everybody except the JSoviet Union, Abraham Lincoln and Mark Twain. How come Lincoln and Twain are all rirht? one of the pamphlets frnliinc. Y.lntnln nnniil ihm Mexican War and Twain was against the Spanish-American War.

So do you know what -that does? Well, it makes Lincoln and Twain real brother patriots of Eugene Den- -nls, former Mliwaukeean who was general secretary of the American Communist party when he was convicted, with 18 other Red, of coiunlrinr to teach and advocate the overthrow of our government. They really put out some gems, these lads who write for, Stalin. For instance, this statement: "The Soviet Union does not interfere or intervene in the affairs of any other country. It has staunchly defended peace and the independence of nations since its beginning." Of course, all this is ridiculous. But the pamphlets aren't funny to some of the eitizens who receive them.

I don't know where the Communists get the names for their mailing list, but they're wasting- a lot of ammunition, because some of their targets are as anti-Communist as anyone could be. Tne cnance of "converting" them is much less than zero. And some are madder'n hops at finding such stuff in their mail boxes. They feel that not only their patriotism, but their intelligence, is being insulted. Regarding the question about how to get off the list; I can't be very, helpful.

I don't have much influence with the Red hot shots in this area. But maybe if people sent back their pamphlets to the Communist Party of Wisconsin. 617 No. Second Street, Room 902, Milwaukee, accompanied by a letter, it might help some. That is, if the letter said, "Don't send your silly stuff to me from now on I'm throwing it all away," perhaps the Comunists would say to themselves, "No use wasting stamps and stationery on this guy." After all, while they always seem to have nlsntv nt mnnv nrnhahlv thev have to watch their nickels, too especially at times like this when they have big expensive campaigns going on.

SPEAKING of literary gems, the Associated Press teletype brings in a dandy this morning. It's a paragraph in a story about a special meeting of Atlantic Pact leaders which says: "The military experts are known as the standing group, sitting permanently "in i Washington."

That group is now working on controls legislation. The President's nod of consent made it virtually certain that Congress would put in his hands the power to clamp on wage-price-rationing whenever he feels they are needed. Lists 4 Conditions. Sentiment among the legislators for giving him that authority has been growing evpr since Bernard Baruch, a mobilization' adviser in Wo world made a strong plea last week tor all-out economic mobilization. After a meeting of the House GOP policy committee, Republi can: leader Martin of Massachu-setts told newsmen "the consen-sus was that the-powers should be.

on a standby basis, with the President having authority to put them into effect when he thinks they are needed." The President went on tq say. he has no objection to addition of standby wage-price-rationing powers but he listed four conditions: I These should be supplemen-. tary to the production and credit controls first asked. 2.1 Tney must not aeiay action in the Senate or House on earlier requests. 3J Controls over prices and wages "should not set' up a rigid formula or freeze in advance 6f experience."

Col. 4) Claims His Co as Self-Sfarfer FINDLAY, 111. (U.R) Eleven--year-old Herbert Bricker reported that his cow milks herself. He said all he has to do is set the milk pail under her, and "she does the rest." The cow, "Blondie," was a present from his father. The youngster said she began her unique performance shortly after she had calved.

Like other farmers, the boy milked only half the. cow at a time. Buf he noticed that "Blondie" produced from the' other half with no help; from him. Then, he. said, he experimented by simply putting the pail beneath.her.

Sure enough, she milked herself. The boy! his father feared or a time that "Blondie" was sick, so they called a veterinarian. But he told them "she's perfectly healthy just talented."

their canes that's raspberry language for- bushes are breaking under the load. Keeping the bushes clean of ripe berries is a man-sized job. And the picking process does wonders for the waist, lines of amateur gardeners, but also can result in sore muscles in the back. i Another hazard for raspberry pickers is Racine's other bumper crop this summer mosquitoes. An old seaman's motto calls for "one hand for the ship and one hand for yourself." This year's raspberry harvester has one hand for the berries and the other hand for himself, to swat mosquitoes.

The service stripe of a veteran picker are red mosquito bites, to match big, red berries. Out in Full Force. Reasons for the record production this year are two: Raspberries, for some reason known only to nature and the berries themselves, produce a big crop every other (year. This is the "other year," and the raspberries are out in full force. Secondly, a cold, wet, rainy spring is ideal raspberry growing weather, and Racine's spring weather qualified on all counts this year.

When your neighbor comes over tonight, limping slightly with a stiff back and scratching his neck, trying to give you a quart of "the biggest darn raspberries on the northside, turn him away gently. How can the poor dope know that your berries are bigger, redder and juicier and you can't five 'eza away either? By JIM O'BRIEN Author of "The Year of the Big Swat." Racine is getting the raspberries not the Bronx cheer variety, but the big, red, luscious kind that grow on bushes and taste good under sugar and cream. A i bumper crop has brought in raspberries too fast to eat and almost too fast to can. All over town, supper has been late this week while' the lady cf the house fills the kitchen with steam and the sweet smell of berries going into cans. Grocers Besiered.

big raspberry crop has brought a run on canning supplies at grocers and other dealers. Grocers besieged with demands for sugar are having a hard time distiguishing between normal canning season demand and the abnormal demand brought on by war headlines. If you work in a newspaper office, you may not see a bush nor an open field from one end of the year to the next, but you are aware of the growing seasons. Somebody comes in with a triple strawberry, and you known it's spring. A little later, a gentleman will, bring in a potato with a "face" like George Washington, or a six-foot cabbage head.

Just about now, you will be getting calls, from backyard- gardeners, telling you how "they are smashing all raspberry production records. The raspberry harvest ia so heavy the gardener assert that WASHINGTON (U.PJ Chairman Carl Vinson said his House Armed Services committee is "by no means satisfied" with the nation's rearmament plans.
