Free Parking With Elections Due Economic Crisis oves on Britain By LKOX DENXE Si: staff Correipondmt LONDON (NEA) Britain is moving irresistibly almost fatal istically toward a new economic, crisis which noithpr tho TWi Labor will be in a position to tuivc wnnoui additional U.

For six years they had to subsist i i nc lasiciess diet or wage ibilization while their .Ameri- II i-mintm-i-ni-te in lhA a'pi ...,,1 CIO engaged in dramatic strug gles for higher wages. Despite the eloquent (and des perate) pleas of the Labor Party's speakers, the union members now insist that "it's thr inh nf (ho Unions to square us with the cost 01 living. "Labor government or Tory government and God help the lories if they do get in we are going to make it difficult," said a railwayman. "It's our duty. We're going to get a decent liv ing for our men." The national wage average in Britain is 7 per week (about &20). This may have been suffi cient for a family of three or ioui m addition to all the other benefits they get from the wel fare state to exist before infla tion set in. But now the lower income groups find it extremely difficult to make ends meet. Some millions of Britons, at the bottom of the income level, are exempt from paying income tax. Hut none is exempt from the our- chase tax and other "hidden" taxes. The purchase tax on clothine. electrical appliances and leather goods runs from 33 per cent to 13 per cent. On tobacco, ciga rettes and other luxuries it is al most 200 per cent. Rationed foods are relatively cheap. But no family can subsist entirely on the meager rations. Unrationcd goods are practically inaccessible to the average Briton. A Conservative victory at the polls on Oct. 25 will free the hands of the frustrated union leaders. Already under Com munist and left wing pressure "from below" there are de- TORY POSTERS: They blame Lnhor for all Bri tain's (rouhlos, foreign and domestic. mands for immediate wage in creases and threats of strikes. Winston Churchill's return to power might unleash a strike wave that would rock Britain and have wide repercussions through out Europe. In the furious battle of "Elec tion Manifestos" the Tories blame Labor for all of Britain's domes tic and foreign trouble, including the debacle in Iran and the new crisis over the Suez Canal. They profess to see in Labor as a whole, not merely its left wing "lunatic fringe" led by Aneurin Bevan, a deliberate drive towards the totalitarian state. Labor goes back to the 1930s to try to demonstrate not only Tory incompetence but also Tory ill-will towards the wage earners. Labor speakers denounce the Conservatives as greedy "capi talist profiteers" and "war mongers" who will plunge Bri tain into war practically on the day of their election victory. Unfortunately, both the Labor ites and the Tories (as the au thoritative London Economist re cently wrote) appear to be as firmly united as ever on one main proposition that the voters should not be allowed to give a verdict on the real issues facing the British people.

Too Much Heat Harms Nuts, Agent Advises Homo owners who are harvest ing English walnut crops this season of the year were advised Saturday not to use loo much heat in drying the walnuts. County Agent W. B. Parker pointed out that the fallen nuts will be wet and will require dry ing. But, he warned, don't put them in an oven or anywhere else where the temperature will climb above 110 degrees. If they're dried too quickly at a high temperature the nuts will have cracked shells and off-flavored nut meats meats that arc rancid and bad tasting. The best drying temperature for walnuts, Parker said, is from 90 to 100 degrees. At this tempera ture, usual drying time will be about 48 hours. Walnuts will dry more rapidly if they are spread on a drying surface such as a screen in a thin layer, rather than heaped in a pile. If anyone is interested in doing an extra-fancy job on his walnut crop by bleaching. Ihe county i Bldg. has a bleaching formula and can tell how the job is done.
