Bo we had to start there. We tried to be as fair with lumber as with oyery other in dustry, and I don't believe it can be said the gorernment is trying to sabotage industry. - ? ; German Trade Drops Grady asserted . if we- dose our borders to foreign trade, we will hare to regiment our domes tie economy as la being done by the totalitarian states we dislike.

Lelserson said bargaining re lations would be "more satisfac tory" If doubts and disagreements as to the wishes of the employes were eliminated. d d i t i o c ... in the Neus LEOMINSTER, Mass., June 13. -Pf-lt may have been only an Il lusion, but thousands of motorists tonight felt they were getting something like a preview of the world of tomorrow when they drove to an outlying section of Leominster and let their cars "roll uphill." They halted their ears at the bottom of an apparent 100-foot upgrade, then released brakes and felt the car being slowly "drawn uphill." Some talked of a mysterious lodestone in the hill that drew the cars along, until others dumped cans of water In the middle of the grade and the water rolled "up hill" too. Small boys who didn't give a rap for scientific theory "cleaned up" on the phenomenon by lend ing bicycles for a quarter for an -uphill coast." .
