Maybe This Is Why England
Is Always Out of Dollars
By SAM DAWSON
New York, July 6 VP) Some folk are beginning to wonder why
England is always short of dollars. The answer is probably Just
the same as all too often in your own case: there are a lot of
things you want if only you had money enough to buy them.
- The British, and much of the rest of the world, are like that.
There are many things that the
United States has and makes
that they want and need, if
only they had enough Yankee
dollars. The dollar shortage is
as simple as that.
When you are faced with the
same shortage, there are several
things you can do. You can
make something and sell it for
the dollars to buy what you
want and need; or you can offer
your services for wage or fee.
The British have been trying
that one, too. They have been
boosting production as much as
possible, but they are having
trouble selling that product for
dollars. We aren't buying as
much from them as they'd like.
Americans say the British goods
are priced too high, and besides
we are now making more of
many things than we can sell, so
(that all markets, domestic and
foreign, are shrinking.
( Another thing you can do to
relieve an acute shortage is to
borrow from the bank, from
relatives, from the pawnbroker
The British have tried that one,
also. They borrowed nearly $4
billion from Uncle Sam back
in 1946 and said, "Now every
thing will be jake."
But it didn't turn out that
way. They ran through the $4
billion with remarkable speed.
Then the Marshall plan came
along to give them more dollars,
about a billion a year. In spite of
that they are running about a
half billion dollars behind again.
That is, they are buying that
much more than they can sell.
A third thing you yourself
do when faced with a shortage
of dollars to buy the things you
want, is to do without. The Bri
tish are trying that, and calling
it austerity. The government
tells the individual Briton just
what American goods he can
buy, and how iHuch. That is to
save the dollars for the things
it deems more essential mainly
raw materials and machinery
for turning out British products
to be sold in the world market,
preferably for dollars.
The British have tried all of
them, and now say that it still
isn't enough.
Probably they would like to
have some more dollars as a
grant or loan. But they know

clines. -
The British are also trying
more and more to make sure
that what they buy comes as far
as possible from outside the dol
lar area. The trade pact with
Argentina was for that purpose:
they take Argentine meat and
pay for it with British goods,
among them crude oil thereby
supplying almost all of Argen
tina's foreign oil needs. Until
this recent pact, American oil
companies supplied those needs.
England seems intent on
pushing hard along this trail,
and tieing up every possible
trade route with a barter deal
like the one with Argentina.
American businessmen already
are complaining loudly about
that.
Another thing England could
do, many observers point out,

is to devalue the pound sterl
ing. Now officially at least, you
must have four American dol
lars to buy something Britain
sells for a pound. If the pound
were devalued to $3 to the
pound, say, that would mean
you could buy the same British
product for $3 instead of $4.
Some say that if Britain did
that she could start her goods
maving again in world trade.

Lusk and Spaulding Among
Names Voted on for Judge
(By the Associated Press)
.The Oregon democratic party will not accept endorsement of
Gus J. Solomon, Portland attorney, for the federal district bench
without a second look.
That is the effect of a letter
the state central committee and
Chairman William L. Josslin of
Portland, Mrs. Joada Leonard,
vice-chairman of Klamath Falls,
and Volney Martin, secretary, of
Portland.
Solomon was endorsed for the
projected third Oregon federal
judgeship last week by national
Committeeman Monroe Sweet
land, national Committeewoman
Nancy Honeyman Robinson, and
Multnomah county Chairman
Nicholas Granet.
They were speaking for them
selves, and not necessarily for
the party, Josslin said Tuesday.
The letter sent to the state
committee members in all
parts of the state listed 12 at
torneys as worthy of considera
tion for endorsement. Solomon's
name was included.
Those receiving the letters
were asked to indicate their
preference for the judgeship and
return ballots in time for count
ing at 2 p. m. Friday.
Jackson county's democratic
central " committee has been
called to meet Wednesday night
to consider throwing that coun

Josslin said that the move to

should not be considered

It is considered in some politi
cal circles, however, as a ma

party patronage in Oregon will

hands of the national committee
representatives.
Josslin said today, however,
that backing a candidate for the
federal bench should be above

Jake Bird Makes
Another Appeal
Olympia, Wash., July 6 U.R
Appeal artist Jake Bird looked
toward the state supreme court
again today in what may be his
final effort to escape hanging
July 15 on conviction of first
degree murder.
The wily hex-murdered was
convicted almost two years ago
of the ax-slaying of Mrs. Bertha
Kludt of Tacoma. Since then he
has received three stays of ex
ecution and six persons connect
ed with his trial whom he
"hexed" have died unexpected
ly. His fourth death sentence is
only nine days away. The 47
year-old Negro claimed his con
stitutional rights had been vio
lated and asked for a writ of
habeas corpus. Murray Tag-
gert, Bird's appointed attorney,
charged both the state and na
tional constitutions were violat
ed when the Pierce county trial
court failed to supply Bird with
a full transcript of his trial.
Mexican Court

Mexico City, July 6 VP) A

Judge Ignacio Soto Gordos
ruled that the order could not
be given because political rights
are not subject to court orders.
Similar orders are frequently
asked by individuals to guaran
tee their personal rights and are

VICTIM INJURED IN 1948 i.
Family Hopes for Miracle
For Man in Long Coma
Los Angeles, July 6 (U.R) A 45-year-old drilling contractor hat
been lying in a coma since Nov. 19, 1948, when he suffered head
injuries in an auto accident and doctors believe he'll never regain
consciousness, it was disclosed today.
Specialists, however, said Aubrey Lyon may live indefinitely
on food given him by a tube.
The coma victim underwent
surgery in Phoenix, Ariz., after
the accident, but doctors said
an injury deep within the brain
causes the coma.
Lyon's 17-year-old daughter
Barbara says she and her mother
are hopeful he may regain con
sciousness sometime.
"We're not giving up," she
said. "Both mother and I feel
that he is improving and some
day he will open his eyes and
know us."
A consensus of a dozen brain
surgeons and neurologists who
examined Lyon was that "only
a miracle" will allow him to
