LABOR.CLAIMS DISTORTED PICTURE
British Split on U. S. View
Of 'Utopia on the Rocks'
London, Aug. 17 (U.R) London's rightwing newspapers report
ed Scripps-Howard senior editor E. T. Leech's "Utopia on the
Rocks" series without editorial comment today, but the Laborite
Daily Herald termed it a "distorted picture."
Leech's series is an analysis of "British Socialism In Action."
The Daily Express, with a
circulation of 4,000,000 put
page three banner line on the
itory. The Express said over a
column of excerpts from Leech's
article:
"Under the heading, 'Utopia
on the Rocks,' an American
gives America a close-up of Bri
tan, over - taxed, over - nursed,
over-optimistic but no security,
as the government is itself so
Insecure."
The Independent Daily Tele
graph carried excerpts under
the heading, " 'Utopia on the
Rocks,' U.S. view of British So
cialist state."
The Telegraph's columnist,
"Peterborough," said he had met
Leech during his visit here and
"My impression . . . was that he
was probably a good reporter
... He seemed to have arrived
without preconceived ideas."
The Daily Herald headlined
Its report from Washington by
Correspondent Arthur Webb,
"U.S. 'Hatchctmen' Lash Out at
Britain."
The Herald report said "the
reactionary S c r i p p s - Howard
chain today began a series of
articles on Britain entitled
'Utopia on the Rocks,' with the
avowed purpose of defeating so
cial and economic experiments
similar to those undertaken in
Britain and now being urged
upon the American people.
. "The first article, Is a distort
ed picture of Britain today."
The Herald coupled its attack
on the Leech series with an at
tack on the Chicago Tribune.
"(Tribune) Publisher Col
(Robert R.) McCormick's num
ber one 'Hatchet Man', Arthur
Sears Henning comes out of re
tirement to suggest that 'if Brit
ish Socialists . . . fail to get an
adequate handout they will prob
ably lose the next election and
(Winston) Churchill and his
hut Hfrn iMftlinwum,,, . MP'AWMWWMi.
Conservatives will return to
power."
(Henning is the Tribune's cor
respondent emeritus in Wash
ington), "American Tories and big
business have never concealed
the fact that that is what they
desire," the Herald said.
The Manchester Guardian's
Alistair Cooke, without noting
the Leech series, took an op
posite view of the situation.
"There is today in Washing
ton and New York no rising tide
that did not last spring or last
year. There is, as always I
hankering among unreconstruc
ted America Firsters to prove
the British to be inept in finance,-
lazy in their work and
reckless of their, fate.
"But . . . the disposition to
blame Britain andor her labor
government for the dollar gap
and the plight of the gold re
serve Is if anything rather weak
er than usual.
Cooke said that except for
Secretary of the Treasury John
W. Snyder most experts agree
that the Socialist economy has
little to do with the current
crisis. President Truman, though
his goodwill is overflowing,
has not been able to lead the
people, Cooke wrote.
'If there is a job of education
to be done," he said, "... It is
by the American Economic ex
perts in the administration on,
first, Mr. Snyder and secondly
on the congress."

Champ Bulb Snatcher

By HOWARD C. ALEXANDER
Detroit IU.P) Charles B. Sero, champion bulb snatcher, has
20,000 bulbs and no place to keep them.
"I've been collecting these bulbs for 46 years," he said. "But
don't get me wrong; I don't want my own museum."
Sero wants to put his bulbs in an Edison Palace of Light,
where each could be displayed :

the inventor, the materials used
and a complete explanation of
the bulb. ,
"I want the collection to be
used in an educational way," he
said. "I want them set up so
they can be useful to anyone in
terested in electronics."
The bulbs that still burn, Sero
said, could be operated by push
buttons on stepped-down cur
rent. Sero has every conceivable
size and type of bulb in his col
lection from tiny surgical "grain
of wheat" lamps to a huge, 400
watt high intensity lamp built
experimentally for the torch of
the Statue of Liberty.
"Some people spend their lives
making money, and when they
die, everyone fight for it. I
spent my life collecting bulbs,"
Sero said, proudly. "When I'm
gone, I'll leave something valu
able." Sero would like to leave his
Palace of Light in Detroit be
cause he is a third-generation
Detroiter. But, he said, unless
the Motor City wakes up and
offers a building he'll be forced
to take his collection to some
other city.
He gets many of his bulbs
through the mail from people
who have heard about his col
lection. Others, the bulb snatch
er gets himself.
"When I see a bulb I'd like
And I have never been turned
down."
His collection includes a bulb
from the battleship Maine which
was sunk in 1898; one from the
bomb bay of the Enola Gay, the
plane that dropped the bomb on
Hiroshima; one from Hitler's
limousine, and the dial light
from Heinrlch Himmler's radio
' "Perhaps my strangest bulb,"
he said, "is an ordinary 25-watt
electric bulb. It killed a cow
and was found burning in the
cow s mouth."
The collection keeps growing
and the bigger it gets the more
anxious Sero is for a building,
He said he spends more time try
ing to find some place to keep
them than he does in taking care
of them

Meat Prices
May Be Lower
Chicago, Aug. 17 (U.R) Falling
prices on midwest livestock
markets will cause retail price
drops at meat counters within a
few weeks, experts said today,
Hog prices dropped as much
as $1.25 a hundredweight yester
day, mainly because use of the
record corn crop will make it
cheaper to feed animals. Hogs
were down from a high of
S23.65 last week to about $20
yesterday.
