Business as Usual While a steel strike grips the nation,
workmen tap a small heat of molten iron at the lone foundry
till perking in Chicago. Using a supply of pig and some scrap
iron and coke, they are able to keep the foundry rolling.

Of Russ A-Bombs
Coronado, Calif., Oct. 6 U.I
Adm. William H. Standley, war
time ambassador to Russia, said
today he was "very skeptical"

doubted they had the " know
how" to produce the bomb,
25-Hour Strike Ends
Milwaukie, Wis., Oct. 6 UR)
CIO Gas Workers' union offi
cials agreed today to end a 25
hour strike which had deprived
Milwaukee of its gas supplies
and upset meal times throughout
the city.
"It Is impossible to mention in
detail more than the principal
races of Burma," it said. "They
are all firm believers in magic
and are convinced that invulner
ability against wounds can be
conferred by magical rites." ,
The reports tell of the great
variety of races in the Shan
States, including the "curious
Banyok, of whom only six fam
ilies survive because of their!
marked distaste for marriage to
which they submit only under
official compulsion."
The Shan States also are In
habited by the Pandaungs, 1
whose women "stretch their,
necks to giraffe-like proportions
by wearing brass necklets to
which extra rings are added'
from the day of their birth." j
In the northeast of Burma the'
wild Nagas still pursue head
hunting and believe in human
sacrifice.
Among another tribe called
the Wa, head-hunting is regard
ed as necessary for their fertil
ity rites at ploughing time and
"In an average year, AO to 100
heads will be taken in the area."
Most of the tribes, H said,
"have little Interest hi modern
party eonflicts and many of
them regard present-day poli
ticians as upstarts and have a
lingering nostalgia for the days
of the king."
By religion the Burmese pro
per are almost exclusively
Buddhist, with a creed "to store
up merit by good living so that
man will not he reborn in this
world or in any of the spirit
worlds but will attain to Nir
vana, where self-consciousness
ceases," the Burma Handbook
said.
It added, "Although the great
majority of Buddhist Tongyis or
monks are 'virtuous members of
their order,' some younger mem
bers have lately Intervened in
politics and 'certainly proved a
sourre of trouble'."
The Burma Handbook de
scribes tribes named Yahows,
Klang Klangs, Vamtus and Ku
ala and the wide variety of lan
guages and dialects spoken.
Details of weird rites and
customs are included in the re
ports on remote tribes which
still resist all intrusion with
pears, poisoned arrows and
bamboo spikes.
"Every village has 1 love
house in which young couples
foregather. Pregnancy Is always
followed by a public admission
of marriage. And there are
men's clubs into which an out
sider's entrance is a grievous
offense."

Smythe Wages War to Get
Franklin Proper Place in U.S.
New York J. J. Henry Smythe, Jr., writer of trade names
and slogans, said there ought to be a law against the way
Congress is mistreating the memory of Benjamin Franklin.
Someone is trying to get Congress to move Franklin's statue
from a niche in the Senate wing of the Capitol, where hardly
anyone look at it. He want to
put it on a place of honor in
the Capitol rotunda, where the
likenesses of presidents and
others are on display for all
tourists to see.
But Congress has indicated
that the big marble statue of
Franklin by Hiram Powers will
have to stay put. All remaining
space in the rotunda is being
saved for presidential busts.
"They tell me Franklin Isn't
big enough," Smythe said. "Why
he's one of the three greatest
men of all time. It is time for
us to be frank about Franklin."
Smythe, an ardent Republi
can, resembles the late Demo
cratic President Roosevelt, pince
nez and all. He has been self-
appointed press agent to Frank
lin ever ince he waved a flag
in a Franklin Day parade in
1921.
Now, at 65, he's chairman of
the Franklin Committee of the
Sons of the American Revolu
tion, which is waging a relent
less campaign to unseat George
Washington as the "father of our
country" and give the title back
to Franklin.
"Ben had it first," Smythe
said. "Of course, I'd settle for
'forefather of our country," if I
had to." -
As a slogan concocter, Smythe
has made up more than 1,000
slogans for both world wars, in
cluding catchy phrases like "Ax
the Axis" and "Smash the Axis
with bombs and taxes."
