WHITE HOUSE Secretary Ross
says In Washington that
telegraphic response to Truman's
railroad strike speeches was the
greatest following a Presidential
action in the memory of execu
tive employees.
Jules Rodler, in charge of the
White House telegraph room,
says he has "never Been anything
like it since I came to the White
House In 1900."
Secretary Ross adds that the
response hiis been "overwhelm
ingly favorable."
j FL President William Green
denounces President Tru
man's strike-draft program as
"slave labor under fascism."
. He adds: "Even the effects of a
hatlon-wldo strike on a vital In
dustry could not be ns perman
ently disastrous to our economy
as slave labor and the nationaliza
tion of Industry. Yet these are the
Inevitable outcomes of the pro
posed legislation."

ket, where people of all kinds

generally push forward In price
--.Indicating that both buyers and
sellers refuse to believe the
country Is going to the dogs.
yHlS writer's advice, offered for
. what it Is worth. Is to sit tight.
Refrain from Inflammatory state
ments. Make your decisions from
the standpoint ot tho COUN
TRY'S WELFARE not from nny
selfish standpoint. .
BECAUSE of the menace of the
Inflationary cycle, with Its
constant throat of runaway
pt-ices, there Is widespread fear
61 the future. At such times, peo
ple don't act intelligently. Under
the stress of fear, the law of self-
preservation takes command and
people do things they wouKin i
think of doing In less hysterical
times.
Pood hoarding Is an example.
Knowing them as Individuals, and
neighbors, you can't possibly call
ull food hoarders criminals. They
are Just PEOPLE responding to a
PRIMITIVE urge.
IT Is out of times like these thai
fascism, na.ism, communism
arise. These Isms, whose re
wards for the average run ot
common, ordinary people arc in
no way comparable to the iC'
wrds of democracy and Intelli
gent' self-government, can come
to power ONLY when hysteria
and near-panic replace clear, in
telligent, .realistic, thinking.
, ,
OECAUSE of the threat of run-
P awny Inflation, which follows
lack of production, this Is a na
tional emergency.
We must regard II as such.
Otherwise we COULD BE lost.
OUR HEROIC DEAD
By CHARLES V. STANTON
On the first page of today's edition of the News-Review
will be found a list of Douglas County's World War II dead.
This list, perhaps, is not complete. It has been compiled
by Dr. C. A. Edwards, former chairman of the Douglas
County Selective Service Board, who has had an intense
interest in the young men and women from Douglas County
who served with our armed forces. Throughout the war
he maintained correspondence with hundreds of service men
and now is seeking to gather the final records of those whose
lives were given in supreme sacrifice.
To date the names compiled for the Selective Service
Board provide the only available record. Military services
have not yet had the time nor clerical help to segregate
casualty reports by states and counties. Consequently it
has been necessary to appeal directly to the residents of
the county for information. The list published today is
prepared from names sent in by relatives or friends of the
war dead.
If names have been missed, despite the county-wide effort
of the Selective Service Board to collect complete data,
omissions should promptly be called to the board's atten
tion and the additional information needed to complete the
Honor Roll supplied without further delay.
Mingled with our reverence and sorrow as we read the
list of Douglas County's hero dead is an intense, burning
pride pride in the achievements of those who died and
those who lived. The saga of American heroism was writ
ten upon bloody soil throughout the world, and there were
few theaters of activity in which men and women from
Douglas County were not represented.
As we pause today to honor those whose lives were sacri
ficed upon the altar of freedom, we must not forget the
living, particularly those whose bodies and minds bear the
scars of battle. A grateful nation must demand that the
best of hospital and medical care be afforded all in need of
curative science. To those who return in health we must
provide compensation as best we can for the years taken
from their lives years for which tltere can be no adequate
compensation, except as we pay in spiritual values of peace
and good will among men.
Flags will be unfurled today, bands will play, parades will
be held, sermons will be preached, volleys will be fired, taps
will be sounded. But these observances will go unheeded by
those whose eyes and cars have been closed to earthly tilings.
They have joined the vast army of the ages the army
where friend and foe alike have learned the futility of
man in striving to gain peace through might. They have
learned the lesson living man seems never to learn that
peace is not to be found in earthly state but only in spirit;
that when the spirit prevails man can and will live in peace
with his fellow man.
Such is tho message our heroic dead would bring to us
today if they could but speak from their graves.. If we
could but hoar and heed their message this Memorial Day
could mark the birth date of permanent peace. But, instead,
wo sing our praises of the dead, honor and reverence their
memory, their deeds, and their sacrifice, while in our finite
way we strive to solve the problem of peace, ignoring the
Golden Rule formula which, in its simple terms, holds the
key that all the complicated schemes of United Nations
cannot duplicate.
But though we fail in our efforts to maintain the peace,
the sacrifice of our dead has not been in vain, for, with
each succeeding war the spirit of man rebels more and
more against needless destruction. He is caused to search
afresh for the way to tho goal toward which he has pressed
throughout centuries of civilization. Each sacrifice has been
rewarded with a refreshing of spirit in those who lived in
stronger determination that it must not happen again.
And so today we pay tribute to those who fought that
this world might be a better place in which to live; tribute
to the living and to the dead heroes 'till !

Future Peace or
War Seen Resting
On Russian Action
CHARLESTON, W. Va., May 29
The Russians have just
about reached the limit of their
legitimate expansion for purposes
of security, and if they keep on
reaching a dangerous situation
may arrive, DeWitf Mackenzie,
Associated Press foreign news
analyst, said in an address here
today.
Mackenzie, whose daily Inter
pretive column on world events
Is published in more than 800
newspapers, spoke at Morris Har
vey College's 58th annual com
mencement program, where he
was awarded the honorary degree
of doctor of laws.
Mackenzie told the audience:
"Britain and America have con
ceded (much) readily. They have
given way to some other demands
unwillingly, with the desire of
maintaining frinnHli rnlntlnno
among the Big Three.
wiinin recent weeks, however,
Russia has put forward demands

"I'm afraid I wouldn't be

"There Is a danjer, But I am

"If (Russia) stops whore she is

Building Material
Main Obfective of
Emergency Law
SEATTLE. Mav 29 ) Build
ing materials are the immediate
objective of the National Housing
Agency under provisions of the
veterans tmergency Housing Act
(the Patman bill) signed by Presi
dent Truman, said George W.
Coplen, regional housing expedi
ter, yesterday.
"Under FHA Title VI, as
ai.-ended," he added, "the FHA
may now insure mortgage loans
up to yu per cent of the necessary
current cost," including land. Un
der FHA's regular Title II opera
tions, 'appraised value' deter
mines the loan amount."
Coplen also recited that the for
mer limitation of $o,400 for a
mortgage loan on a single-family
house may be raised under the
new act to $8,100 by the FHA
commissioner, if he finds it not
feasible in a particular area to
construct dwellings at the lower
prices without sacrificing sound
standards. Comparable adjust
ments are provided on two, three
and four-family dwellings. Mort
gage interest rates are set at 4
per cent maximum annually, plus
S per cent for mortgage insurance
premium.
"But,"' Coplen added, "liberal
ized financing is not the answer
in Itself. Private enterprise must
produce decent housing at rents
or sales within the reach of fami
lies needing homes.
"Title VI will not be used to
sustain current high building
costs. The government wants
to assist private enterprise to
move further into areas of low
rental and low price housing for
the mass of the American people."
(The Veterans Housing Act pro
vides that priority-assisted hous
ing, built for sale, shall be held
for veterans for 60 days while
that built for rent must be held
30 days for veterans.)
U. S. Intervenes in Reds' .
Expulsion of Writer
WASHINGTON, May 29 WP)
The State Department said yes

tervened with Russia In an at
tempt to prevent expulsion from
Romania of Ruben Markham,
Christian Science Monitor corre
spondent. Bucharest dispatches said
Markham was still in Constanta,
and that his departure has been
delayed pending a decision "from
a high level."
The Soviet military command
in Romania issued the expulsion
older, claiming Markham had
stated in a "political speech" that
war between Russia and the
United States was Inevitable.
Markham denied making any po
litiral speeches.
