After an explosive period of war, explains the American Jun ior Red Cross, "most of us" feel a desire to aid In drawing na tions closer together once more. Nowhere Is this desire stronger than in the schools. Young peo ple and their teachers are "ex traordinarily responsive" to the needs of humanity, of which the need for mutual understanding is one of the greatest. In the first year of the Inter national art- exchange of the American Junior Red Cross, schools in 35 states from Florida to Oregon and from Texas to Maine have contributed colorful records of school and commu nity lives.

Ariz., May 12. UP) A vital component of man's most moara tool, atomic energy, will be moved from a Northern Arizona canyon by pack burro. The sure-footed donkey Is the only answer to nature's chal lenge at House Rock V'allev. There, In a steep, narrow box canyon, uu mues north oi here, lie 200 tons of uranium-rich pet rified logs. Trucks, even the usually-dependable jeep, couldn't operate in this no-motor's land. So, Mag gie and Riley Baker, discoverers of the rich strike, have hired 15 burros and five Navajo Indians to move the precious ore. The burro train operation will start in 10 days. The animals will haul the ore over a treach erous mile-and-a-half trail to Highway 89. Trucks will take it from there to tne Atomic t-nergy Commission's processing plant at Montecello, Utah. Actually, there is no official estimate on the amount of urani um-bearing ore in the small box canyon. On the surface, the yellow-streaked petrified logs are estimated to weigh 200 tons. Be low the ground may be more. Maggie Baker hopefully figures the petrified logs may go to a depth of from 40 to 70 feet.

UP) Protestantism rallied yesterday behind its first all-denominational newspaper for a united voice in a bid for worldwide spiritual leader ship. The groundwork for establish ment of the newspaper has been spaded by 200 protestant leaders here for that sole purpose. They were told ft was up to Pro testantism to shoulder the re sponsibility of a worldwide spirit ual revival. Dr. Robert W. Searle of the Pro testant Council of New York City added, however, that first pro testantism needed unity of voice and the best way to get it was through a newspaper controlled by all denominations. "There is no more imperative need in American protestantism," he said, "than the need for a na Child-Cat Smear Sent In As Joke Wins Acclaim Frqm Art Critics LOUGHBOROUGH, Eng., May 12. W) Artist Thomas Warnis doesn t take a lot oi trouble over his paintings. He makes dozens of them with a bold brush ... or his bare fingers ... or an old stick with a chewed end. He lets his cat, Jill, pad over the fresh paint, sit on it and swish her tail over It. And while turning out his mas terpiece "Figure 8: Skegness" he spilled a saucer of paint on it by accident, smudged it, tried erasing, muttered "oh shucks" and let It ride. But sponsors of a..Jocal art show thought "figure a: Keg ness" was good .enough to hang. Critics praised It. Said the Lei cester Mail: "A fine specimen of modernism by the barrow-on-soar artist Thomas Warbis." They found later that Artist Warbis is six years old. Tommy's father Alfred, a com mercial artist, Bald he found Tom my's venture in modern art while looking for packing paper to send his own pictures to the exhibit. 'T sent the picture as a Joke and a test of people's knowledge of art," he moaned. "And to think I've been trying for 40 years to get somewhere with art." Thomas D. Pearce, the organ izer, wasn't blushing. "It's no worse than a lot of stuff which poses as modern art," he said.

"This plan," he said, "is brought forward at a time when there is more talk than ever before of Pro testant unity and in a new Dark Age in which we are groping for a basis of world order. The Church faces its biggest task since the Middle Ages." Christianity, Dr. Searle said, has the answer to world problems and "Protestantism must proclaim this Christian answer . . ." "The voice of Rome has recent ly forbidden its clergy and laity to participate in 'mixed conferences where matters of faith are dis cussed," Dr. Searle said at one point in his talk. When Tommy himself turned up at the exhibit, a caretaker threatened to bounce him. He tried to stand on his head In a corner. Oregon Capitol Suffers No Earthquake Damage SALEM, May 12. iff) The symbolic pioneer statue atop the Oregon Capitol is not bowing north toward Washington state. Secretary of State Newbry said engineers had dismissed as errone ous a report that the April 13 earthquake had tilted the liv.ure. Newbry also said the engineers iound tnnt tne earthquake caused no damage whatever to the slate buildings In Salem, He said that there were many reports of cracked walls, but that all of the cracks were there before the quake. THWARTED GENIUS PORTLAND, May 12. UP) Traffic Patrolman Frank Soder back decided that a 1929 Jalopy was Just going too far. He found a youth driving it without any steering wheel, njic wheel was gone; the driver guided with a spoke sticking out of the steering column. When Soderback investigated further, he found there weren't any brakes, either. The car is now impounded. Love birds are really parrots. SET- 0 ' 0'i Iu' Thur., May 12, 1949 The News-Review, Roseburg, Ore, 11 Congress By Harris Congressman, 4th Upcoming soon in both the House and Senate will be a defi ciency bill carrying the appro priation for the ECA (European Recovery Administration Mar shall Plan). The program has been authorized by Congress for another year. The actual money to be spent on it has not yet been determined. There has been some evidence that the President and ECA officials got more than they expected in the authorization bill and are now Just a little worried that they may have reached too high. Not long ago, the President indicated that he thought "due to declining prices" the appropri ation could be cut more than a hundred million dollars under the authorization figure. I under stand there have been some even lower guesses from administra tion sources. This all goes to preve the ac curacy of my comment on the floor of the House when the au thorization bill was being debat ed. It was my opinion then, and I so stated, that the authoriza tion figure of some five and one half billions was carelessly cal culated and should not be con sidered as exact or final figure. I am hopeful that the appropria tions committees of both Houses of Congress will comb all of the optimism out of the ECA appro priation request. On the subject of appropria tions, you may be interested in a couple of paragraphs of comment made In his weekly newsletter to his Congressional District by Representative Errett P. Scrlv ner of Kansas. He writes with accurate "inside" knowledge be cause he Is a member of the Ap propriations Committee: "Recent news stories credit the chairman of the Appropriations (jommittee, Mr. cannon, Demo crat of Missouri, with burning zeal for economy. Had he helped me committee during the HOtn Congress, we could have saved more than the three billion dol lars we did save. During the 80th Congress, on bills relating Just to one department, Mr. Cannon offered 10 amendments which, If accepted, wot.ld have increased appropriations by $306,077,666. These being defeated, he offerd two motions to recommit carry ing amendments to Increase amounts by $289,385,710. Actions speak louder than words. up to date, under Mr. Can non, who has sat in with each Committee when it decided the amount to recommend to the House, the first five appropria tion bills have authorized spend Ing of nearly a billion dollars ($945,316,405) more than allowed by the 80th Congress In similar bill3. Democrats, of course, will point out that the amounts al lowed are $389 million less than the President suggested In his budget, but that will not lighten tne load on tne taxpayer. The above was written several weeks ago. Several other appro priation bills have been acted upon by the House since Mr. Scrlvncr.made his comment Quot ed above. The spending record of the 81st Congress continues to be bad. House appropriation bills to date total more than 'FOUR BILLIONS of dollars in excess of the figures in the same bills Two New There's something new in town and it's our Robin Hood and Acrobat shoes for Crosby Square for Men Authentic style for every purpose.

KRNR 8:30 P.M. , H0ME Jfm jj OWNED Sidelights Ellsworth District of Oregon passed by the previous (80th) Congress. It seems probable that the next big test of the administration strength in the House will come in connection with the proposed amendments to the Wage and Hour Act. This legislation has been pending before the House Rules Committee for some time. The administration desires a gag" rule prohibiting amend ments and the Committee has declined to report the bill under such a rule. Aside from the issue over in crease in the Dase nouny wage rates, the most critical questions involve the stretching of federal authority under the Interstate commerce clause to cover former ly exempt employments and the changing of exemptions for cer tain seasonal industries. Typical of government bureaus, the Wage and hour Administra tion has exercised all authority granted directly or by Implica tion and has expanded its activi ties into areas of business where there is little or no authority In law. To protect its position, It now comes to Congress asking for language specifically author izing Us acts and extending au thority to- new fields. During hearings before the House Labor ; Committee, the Secretary of La bor was asked what employment would not come within Interstate Commerce under the proposed amendments. The secretary hesi tated and turned to his solicitor. The solicitor thought for a mo ment and replied, "the local bar ber shop." After another pause, he added, "probably." Representative Wlngate Lucas. Democrat from Texas and mem-, ber of the House Labor Commit tee has introduced a substitute for the administration bill. Lu cas declares, "the administration bill gives more power to an ad ministrator than any bill ever re ported during peacetime by a committee of Congress."
