Jap Aliens Leave North Dakota Camp BISMARCK About 360 Japanese aliens from the federal detention camp here left recently on the first leg of a long journey of repatriation. They were all going to Japan which land some of them had never seen. C. Robbins, acting officer in charge of the camp, said that most of them were American-born Japanese who renounced their American citizenship, but a few are being deported for illegal entry into this country.

Many of the group which left in this group were classed as troublemakers, Robbins said. The shipment leaves about 150 Japanese and slightly more than 200 Germans still at the camp, Robbins said, as compared to the camp'a wartime peak of around 1,700 alien internees. HUNTER Jack Turn, employed by the Great Northern railroad, was burned to death recently when ta bunk car attached to a work train caught fire on a siding here. Two other workers occupying the same car escaped. were John Straka, night watch man, who discovered the blaze and John Joloskia.

All three had made their home in the bunk car. Straka first noticed the fire about two o'clock in the morning when he came from checking fires in the stoves of the work tram cars. He found the bunk' car filled with smoke. He said he shouted a warning and Joloskia started toward him at the call but before Joloskia reached the door the car became filled with flames. Turn, occupying a bunk directly across from Joloskia, did not answer and presumably had been by the smoke.

The flames blocked attempts by volunteers to rescue him. Dak. Woman of Racing Fame Dies In Calif. LA JOLLA, Calif. A former North Dakota woman who was an outstanding figure in horse racing died recently in a California hospital after a long illness.

CO-OPERATIVES ORGANIZED FOR HUMAN RIGHTS was the first state te enact legislation providing for the "one man, one form of corporation, under which a large portion of the state's co-operatives ar organized.

I. well remember the explanation gave me of his basis for the idea-He said: "The American govern- ment is a big, a very big, business.

It is operated by selected officials of those who own the business, the citizens of the nation. Those selectedi officials, the President, senators andl representatives, are picked on 'one man one vote' basis. Those-who have millions of the national wealth have but one vote, as do those who have practically nothing. That system works. The same thing will work In any other corporation.

Emery Reves, considered the keynoter for the world state proponents, Insists the only way of preventing International war lathe formation of a world government to include all nations. He bases his claim for the effectiveness of such a world government on the federation of our states.

What can such a federation of nations accomplish that UNO cannot accomplish? We can have a world civil war quite as easily as a world international war. We demonstrated that in the eighteen sixties.

EDUCATIONAL ADVANTAGES-cannot always be measured by what it costs. It is what fundamentals the- teacher puts into the mind of the-student that counts. PAY DEDUCTIONS AND EFFECT UPON PRICES WHAT COMES OUT of the pay. envelope before the worker receive it? There are four main deductions, and, in a limited and decreasing number of instances, a fifth. The-employer must deduct 1 per cent of" each wage for social security, and; another for unemployment insurance.

To these the employer must add an equal amount, which to him-, is a part of his business cost The-employer must also deduct from each weekly or monthly payment such portion of the worker's pay-needed to cover the worker's fed--eral income 'tax. These deduction are made on demand of the government. On demand of the unioa the employer deducts such dues, assessments and fines as may De-charged against each individual worker by his union. In such case as still exist where the worker is: purchasing government bonds on a payroll deduction basis the employer takes out that payment. Deductions from the pay of the worker as a collection method on the part of government or the unions means an added expense for Industry and distribution.

That expense is added to the cost of doing business, -v and we, the consumers, pay it as a. portion of the price of the commodities we buy.

D. Coal Industry Has Adequate Labor BISMARCK The North Dakota coal industry has an 'adequate supply of labor for the first time since the outbreak of World War II. State Mine Inspector G. B. Easton said leading mines reported that the output thus far winter was sufficient to supply current needs.

Chiang Kai-shek's nationalist forces by suggesting the cessation of hos tilitles with troops of the two factions permitted to remain at present positions. Advanced shortly after Gen. George C. Marshall's arrival in China to help untangle the compll cated political situation there and promote unification of the country, the communist proposal was a modification of an earlier demand that nationalist troops withdraw to post tions previously occupied before V-J Day. Meanwhile, as communist and nationalist leaders of the political consultative oouncil sat down to lay preparations for later discussions of unity, Red strategists sought to ex ert pressure on S.

Held throughout China, leftist stu dent rallies called upon Uncle Sam to let the Chinese settle their own differences without interference. CANDY: Short Supply Because of both ingredient and labor shortages, candy production will fall short of expected demands during the first nine months of 1948, tha trade predicted, with the deficit amounting to million pounds. While huts, peanuts, many fruits, coconuts, cocoa oil and other oil, and sugar apparently will remain In- short supply through most of tha year, the anticipated return of workers to confectionery plants from higher paying war industries has not materialized, though leveling off of other employment and increased wages should lead to solution of the manpower problem. In addition to prospective higher labor costs, the trade said, material costs are also expected to remain at upward levels because of the shortage of supplies and the de- clared program of the government to eliminate subsidies on items entering into manufacture of candy.

Straightening of difficulties will be the signal for extensive plant modernization and expansion, expert! said, with installation of equipment heading the program. Journey's End God, thou art my God; early will I seek Thee" Chaplain Edwin Royal Carter Jr. of Richmond, intoned at soldiers lifted the flag that covered the casket of Gen. George S. Pat ton and held it a few inches above the silver top.

Rain pattered upon the canvas canopy covering the burial site at the end of a long row of little white crosses in tha American military cemetery in Luxemburg, Luxemburg, where 6,000 of the former GJj Patton had led in the historic Battle of the Bulge the year before rested in peace. Beside Patton lay the body of Pvt. John Przywara of Detroit, Mich. "But the king shall rejoice in God; everyone that sweareth by Him shall glory; but the mouth of them that tpruk lies shall be stopped," the chaplain concluded in reading the fallen warrior's favorite 63rd Psalm. With the recitation of the Lord's prayer, the military men bared their heads, then three rifle volleys echoed through the hills.

As taps sounded softly, all stood at attention, and distinguished general from Russia, Britain and France held themselves stiffly in salute until Mrs. Patton turned to leave. Most distinctive of the floral pieces honoring 'Old Blood and Guts" was an evergreen wreath from the men he had led to victory. It bore the simple and touching inscription: "To our leader." PIG CROP: Above Average Though falling below the department of agriculture's goal, the 1945 pig crop of 86,714,000 slightly surpassed 1944 production and topped the 10 year 1934-43 average by over 7,000,000. While the 1945 spring pig crop fell below 1944, fall production rose to offset the early year drop, USDA reported.

While large increases in the fall crop over 1944 were noted, in the western corn belt, small decreases were recorded in the Atlantic states. With 5,503,000 sows farrowed dur-i ing the fall season, the number of. pigs saved per litter totaled 6.38, compared with 6.34 in 1944 and 6.23 for the 10-year period. In view of farmers' intentions to breed 8,542,000 sows next spring, the USDA's goal of pigs should be achieved if the number saved each litter equals the 10-year average. With heavy 1945 fall production and the retention of a large percentage of 1945 spring hogs on farms for extra feeding, pork sup-' plies should be good through the en-suing months, -v; i G.I.

INSURANCE: Despite the fact that -the veteran's National Service Life Insurance is probably the greatest bargain in life insurance today, many dis-ob-irHtd servicemen are dropping it aiid making a big mistake, says Dr. W. M. Curtiss of Cornell university. 1 Premium rates are lower than for mutual and stock companies, and Include a waiver of premiums in case of disability, Dr.

Curtiss said. This feature costs about 75 cents extra per $1,000 of ordinary life insurance from a private company. Two Couples Observe Golden Anniversary LAKOTA Mr. and Mrs. J.

OVERSEAS MUSIC: Petrillo Ban Stocky little James Caesar Petrillo, czar of the American Federation of Musicians, who got his start playing trumpet for Jane Addams' Hull House band on Chicago's west side, again reasserted his power by issuing an order prohibiting the broadcast on U. S.

radio stations of all music originating in foreign countries except Canada. Having just won a major battle with recording companies by compelling them to pay a percentage of VSwvv James Caesar Petrillo their returns to the AFM to compensate for the reduction in regular employment of musicians through use of transcriptions, Petrillo declared he drew up his latest ultimatum to preserve the jobs of Americans. Said he: The government everybody protects themselves against cheap labor. Why the should musicians be suckers? The watchmakers' union muscled the state department into telling the Swiss to stop sending (watches) into the country. We're trying to keep out foreign musicians in person or on the air." LABOR: New Strikes Loom With 175,000 workers already idle by the General Motors strike in the automobile industry and the United Steel workers also threatening to walk out, the troubled labor situation took another serious turn with the CIO electrical union pondering a work stoppage in General Electric, Westinghouse and General Motors plants.

As in the case of the auto and steel disputes, the strife in the electrical industry centered around the union's move for maintenance of high wartime take-home pay, its demands equalling the steel workers' bid for a $2 a day wage increase and comparing with the auto workers' goal of a 30 per cent boost. Active in the automobile dispute in an effort to bring the contesting parties together, government officials also took an aggressive hand in the electrical strife, with Edgar L. Warr'en, U. S. conciliation service director, conferring with both company and union bigwigs in an attempt to iron out differences.

NATIONAL INCOME: Triples From the depression low of $368 in 1933, per capita income in the U. S. jumped to $1,117 in 1944, reflecting the increased wartime economic activity. Even befor the onset of the war boom, per capita Income showed, a decided; increase from the ,1933 low, reaching $575 in 1940, still con-' siderably under the 1944 top. Whereas such income ranged from $202 in Mississippi to $896 in Delaware in 1940, it ran' from $528 in Mississippi to $1,519 in New York in 1944.

In 1940 16 states topping the national average of $575 included California, Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Nevada, New- Jersey, New1 York, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Washington and Wyoming. In 1944, all of these states except Wyoming exceeded the national figure, Indiana taking its Food Experiments More than 50 per cent of the a ding schools and state univer-' sities covered in a recent survey are either conducting frozen food experiments or. planning sut't, experiments, it was revealed Most of the experiments Hit dirfrtcd. toward retaining tin fresh flavor fruits, vegetable- meats and dairy products with out losing the vitamin conter and nutritive value of the fooo BIG THREE: Meeting of inds With the declaration that "prog- ress, aid great progress, has been -made," the foreign ministers of U. Britain and Russia conclud ed their quarterly conference in Moscow, and observers looked to a smoother relation between the ma Jor powers for re-establishment of order out of the dislocations in Eu rope and Asia.

Though the agreement between Messrs. Byrnes, Bevin and Molotov to work for control of atomic en ergy and eliminate it as a war weapon commanded the most pop ular attention, political understandings reached were equally important in their assurance of settling populations, permitting organization of comprehensive governments and purring the resumption of trade. 1 One of the principal. items of accord involved agreement on procedure for drafting the European peace treaties with Axis satellites, the Big deciding to let France' in on discussions over Italy and consulting all of the United Nations on pacts covering Italy, Bulgaria, Romania, Hungary and Finland, In agreement on Europe, the Big Three also moved to closer understanding on Asia, where they decided upon the establishment of a four-nation control commission for Japan to implement directives formulated by the far eastern advisory council with unanimous approval of the member countries. RUHR: British Take Mines An integral part of Germany's economy, 130 Ruhr coal mines owned by 46 companies were taken over by the British occupation authorities in a move to break up the country's war potential and also contribute to the decentralization of the Reich's industry.

In announcing the expropriation of the properties without compensation to the owners, the British declared that the coal mines were controlled by the same monopolistic Interests which dominated the iron, steel and chemical industries and exercised a decisive influence on the character of prewar German economy. In taking over the mines, the British announced that the financial interests of France, Belgium, Holland and Luxembourg in the properties would be safeguarded. Fix Reparations Though U. S. reparations from western Germany were set at 28 per cent or the total to be shared by 21 countries, this actual amount may fall short of the agreed figure since it waived rights to enemy ships and industrial equipment because of small losses in these categories.

In addition to such capital goods as plants, machinery, German foreign assets, current stocks and items from production have been declared available for payments, and the U. is expected to draw primarily from these sources. Besides the U. Britain will also receive 28 per cent of reparations, with France allotted 16 per cent. Other recipients include Yugoslavia, the Netherlands, Canada, Czechoslovakia, Belgium, Greece, India, Norway, Australia, South Africa, New Zealand, Denmark, Luxembourg, Egypt and Albania.

Under the Potsdam agreement, Russia was to obtain its principal reparations from eastern and German assets in Bulgaria, Fin land, nungary, xiomama ana eastern Austria. Trade, Move Tn mnva Hoc!

As a result of the new arrangement, French foreign trade is expected to pick up, since the rise in prices due to decreased production will offset by giving up more francs to the dollar or pound. In certain of its colonies where there has been no inflationary spiral, the French maintained the old value of the local franc. 1 Because of the dislocation of industry and commerce, France's foreign trade since liberation has been mostly of the token variety 10 keep overseas channels open.
