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.

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

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

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

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

wrecker. It has a winch on the
back.
The steel line was lowered Inl
the well. It settled snugly around
r-iu s umpip norns.
A little grinding and Ferdy
neck began stretching. But he
did n t budge.
A little more grinding and
little more stretching. Ferdy
eyes protruded glassily. Hc'i

He was limp by the time hi
bottom side cleared the bottom o?
the well. His neck was longer

At the well lip, Ferdy col
lapsed. But he kept on breathing.
"Darn near Dulled his head

Yeah, shore did." said Crver.
Ferdy got up, very shakilv. and
