16 The News-Review, Roseburg, Oro.-Wed., Sept. 21, 1949 RuH'g Neck MllCh Longer After His Rescue From Wei Success Or Failure Of Britain's Pound Devaluation Experiment Rests With Workers Of Nation By DEWITT MACKENZIE AP Foreign Affairs Analyst ' ' When the pundlli have gut through speculating on how England U going to fare with her devalued pound sterling, the matter likely will be settled by the British workingman and his missus In debate over tankards of 'arl-and-'arf at their club, which is the local pub. The success or failure of this daring experiment in devaluation of the national currency rests on the sturdy shoulders of the folk who run machines or delve In mines or perform the hundred and one other tasks which en titles them to the rank of "work ers." They can make or break the gamble by the simple expedi ent of turning thumbs up or turn In? them down. The point Is this: The experts expect the devaluation of the pound to result in a rise in tha cost of England's living how much nobody can forsee. If there Is an Increase, it will be because essential supplies purchased from America will cost more in pounds, shillings and pence. This cost will be reflected in the price of things sold over the counter in England. Already the price of bread is to be raised 3 cents a loaf and the average Briton eats a lot of it. Wag Hlkts to B Resisted Now the British worker has Minister-Senator Wins Liar Crown REINHOLDS, Pa., Sept. 21. (ft) A minister who is also a state senator Is the best Pennsyl vania Dutch liar in these parts. The Rev. Frank Ruth of Bern ville won the first annual con test of the Pennsylvania Dutch Liars club Monday by telling a story about a mean old tomcat who couldn't be killed. When ropes and guns didn't eliminate the critter, Mr. Ruth aid In dialect, a posse went out after him, cut off his head and burled him under a pile of rocks. Three days later the old rat trotted on home, carrying his head in his mouth. This was judged to be the best whopper of the day, but another minister came In second. lie is the Rev. Clarence Rahn of Tem ple. - Selected to hear the contest, presumably because they are highly qualified Judges of lying, were U. S. District Judge Guy K. Bard, Municipal Judge Robert Mays, and State Representative Baler Royer. They are all of Pennsylvania Dutch descent. been struggling with austerity of living since war days, and his stomach is full of that. lie was calling for higher waues even be fore the devaluation of the pound, and an increase in costs might be expected to result in fresh de mands for more pay. It could mean strikes which would cur tail the all-essential production. Sir Stafford Crlpps, chancellor oi ine excnequer, nas mane H clear that the government In tends to hold down wages wheth er the cost of living increases or not. British newspaper editorials In sist that -there must tie no de mands for higher wages to counter-balance any Increase in the cost of living. They agree th.it this would nullify the cuts in the prices of British exports cuts which devaluation of the pound seeks to secure. So Britain's Socialist govern ment Is in a tough spot, in hav ing thus to hold out the likeli hood of further tightening of belts. Well, the government has is sued its edict: Further austerltv and no increases in wages. Suc cess or failure now rests largely with labor. If the worker should refuse to accept this decision, and should curtail production by strik ing for higher wages, the govern ment's bid for relief through de valuation would go down the drain. CLEBURNE, Tex., Sept. 21, P-Ferdy the bull is a little puzzled, and hurt by the way of man. The 1.2G0 pound Holsteln was amuting around late Monday. He ambled right on when he saw some planks. Feet first he went rrashlng through the planks. He thudded to a slop at the bottom of a 40 foot abandoned well. lie stayed there all night. When he looked up and saw farmer Jim Cryer peering down he looked into a face as puzzled as nis own. Oyer didn't know until th morning what to do. "Take the bull by the horns, Cryer said to himself. 'Take th bull by the horns. This morning his friend, Gene need, pulled up with his aut wrecker. It has a winch on the back. The steel line was lowered Inl the well.
