Well, human nature Is human nature. Uclng by his own conies. slon a small-town man, and not a superman, he must have felt very lonely when he faced the emergency oi insi wcck. Know. Ing that the authority of govern ment had been challenged and that it was up to him as the lend cr to meet the challenge. It would not be surprising If he had WANTED COMPANY more than he ever wanted any thing before. Action by congress would have provided him with com- finny at this loneliest moment In lis life. By passing special legis lation to hnndlo the emergency, congress would have SHARED tho responsibility that weighed so heavily upon his neck. ALL this, of course, Is pure guesswork on this writer's part. Only President Truman knows tho thoughts thnt went through his mind at that serious hour. Still, It isn't too hard to under stand what may have happened. Few of us arc above tho temp tation to seek help in hours of crisis. 20 Lashes Given Soldier Thieves LITTLE ROCK, June 1 (IP) Three Cnmp Robinson soldiers were whipped publicly In clr cult court here todny nfler plead ing guilty to charges of burglary and grand larceny.

PST) In their efforta to avert a shipping atrike Juno 13. On the one hand, the CIO lend ers are claiming that President Trillium haa torpedoed the uego tlatluiia and thrown hla full sup port to the operatora aim mat he'll regret It como election tlmo. On tho other hand, govern ment agencies arc systematically mobilizing to run the ships If CIO seamen, longshoremen, tele graph operatora and other mari time workcra go through with their threatened atriko for a 40 hour week and higher pay. Strong words entered the sit uation yesterday when President Truman told hla news conference he will use the army, navy and coaal guard if that's what It lakes to keep the merchant ma rine running. Bridges and Curran Arousad What the president said aroused Harry Bridges and Jo seph Curran, co-chiilrmcn of the ciiinmlttee for maritime unity representing seven unions In volved In the dispute. They criticized him for adopting audi un attitude. A statement Issued In behalf of the committee last night said the unions came here at the re quest of Labor Secretary Schwel Icnhuch to carry on peaceful ne gotiations to avert a atrike, and they had complied with Schwcl- lenbach's request that neither side make any public statements thnt might hurt the negotiations, but "President Truman today, In complete disregard of the facta involved In the negotlatlona, and despite the secretary of labor's demand for no Inflammatory statements, has deliberately fired a torpedo into the negotlatlona, "Uy guaranteeing tho Amcrl- can ship operators that ho will break any maritime atrike and will break any maritime union daring to atrike, he haa encour aged the American ship opera- tora to refuse any reasonable settlements. . , , Filipinos Plan Independence MANILA.

Naval 'Noah's For Atom Bomb Test Site SAN FRANCISCO, June 1 (IP) A cargo of animals faintly re sembling that of Noah's ark sailed today aboard the navy transport Burleson for a ren dezvous with destiny at Bikini atoll. The ship carried about 4000 white rats, 200 gonts from the region of Houston, Tex.; 200 pigs from Sncramcnto, Calif.; an odd assortment of disease germs and Insects, a few guinea pigs and a few mice.

C, June 1 (IP) The Powell River Paper Co. resumed at 4 p. m. yesterday the production of newsprint which It supplies to many papers in Canada, the United States and Australia following a two-day shutdown growing out of the strike by some 35.000 loggers. Premier John Hart said at Vic toria, meanwhile, he was confi dent of an early settlement of the dispute between the CIO International Woodworkers of America and the timber opera tors, which entered Ha 18th day today. This morning Chief Justice Sloan, federal mediator, waa achedulcd to present to both sides his outline of a basis for settlement. Union leaders and tho operators were to reply by S p. m., either accepting or re jecting the proposal. The union has demanded an increase of 25 cents per hour In wages and a 40-hour work week, once offer ing to compromise at 18 cents. The last reported management offer was lor ilat boost ot ft per day. The premier has promised ac tion by tlie provincial govern ment If Justice Sloan's efforts fail. The Powell company closed down its operations when IWA pickets were placed on Its mill pond, filled with the raw ma. tcrlals of newsprint. The CIO union held that the logs in the pond were "hot," while Powell's AFL unions termed them "fair," and tho milt closed as the two unions threshed out the problem. The plant reopened when the IWA agreed lo consider a por tion of the Iors "fair." and lead ers of the AFL unions said they would press for clearance of the remaining logs.

It took a week of bitter argu ment and a final session that lasted until well after midnight to pass it, 18 to 20. But the senate bill is vastly different from the one the house passed, 300 to 13, Just a week ago today after listening to Mr. Tru- CHESTERTOWN, Md.. June 1 (IP) President Truman told Senator Radcliffe (D-Md.) to day that aenate action on hla propoaed emergency labor control bill had emasculated the legislation. man's appeal to authority to draft those who atrike when the government seizes an industry. The house bill gave him that authority: the senate didn't. Now the bill boes back to the house. If the representatives agree with the senate, the bill will go on to Mr. Truman. Other Clause Eliminated In addition to tossing out the labor-draft provision, the senate also eliminated sections which would deny seniority rights to strikers in seized Industrie and requirement of "Just compensa tion" to plant owners whose property Is taken over. This left in the measure a pro vision arming the president with seizure authority similar to that he now has under the wartime Smith-Connally act. - After seiz ure he could adjust wages and working conditions, an authority the senate upheld by a 54 to .28 vote. Union leaders also would be required to take "affirmative action to call off a strike, with penalties of $5000 fine or a year' imprisonment for' violation of this section. As approved by the senate, the bill likewise would permit the attorney general to seek injunc tions to enforce the no-strike ban, a provision some senators said would authorize imprison. ment of those who violate court orders. The senate beat off. 61 to 10, an attempt to strip this power irom me Dill. U. S. Protests Romanian Acts WASHINGTON. June 1 IP The United States reached be hind eastern Europe's "iron cur tain today to register a sharp protest with the Soviet -con trolled Romanian government tor ns aiicgeo curbing of political i-i'uunis. The state department charged that the Bucharest regime was "circumventing commitments" it uaa maae on political liberty. The note, made public last night, contained demands that Romania fix a date for free elec tions and take measures to pro tect the opposition parties com peting. Paralleling a British protest on the same points, the note as serted that American representa tives had investigated or wit nessed enough incidents- "to es tablish beyond any doubt that political violence I on the in crease." It also charged government censorship was impeding the flow of news from the United States and that the government was monopolizing broadcasting facilities. French Ballots To Show Trend PARIS, June 1 (IP) A clear indication of the strength of the postwar communist trend in France is expected to emerge from tomorrow's empire-wide elections to choose a new con stituent assembly. Two major factors put the communists squarely in the election spotlight: 1. The American loan, which some observers believe may have cost the communists seats and benefited the socialists, whose leader, Leon Blum, nego tiated the credits, announced this week In Washington. 2. The bitter pre-election campaign which the socialists have waged Against the com munists, charging that the com munists were an undemocrati-cally-orgnnized party which fol lows Soviet policy too closely.

There will probably be more biscuit making, bread kneading and., bun baking in the next sear bWtwo Ahais -ve- before In -the nation's kitchens since the professional baker got wise to the idea that he was taking a big load off the cook's shoulders and ringing the bell on his own cash register. Right at this point we are interrupted by a telephone call from a bachelor. He wants to know what we are going to do about his lunch pail? He leaves In the morning for work be fore the stores are open he get back to the store and the bread supply is exhausted. His suggestion the grocers put out a certain amount of bread early in the day and then a quota for the late shopper, the working folks. A good idea! But going back to the cut on commercial breads and pas tries. It may open a new vista of delightful cooking to the average housewife unless she turns green at the sight of a veast cake and a baking powder tin. We are not, what you'd call, an original cook.

June 1 (IP) Pope Pius XII said in a world broadcast today that the path to "true peace" seemed further away now than at the end of hostilities a year ago, and that "the first resolute step toward the attainment of true peace has not yet been taken." Speaking from his private li brary, the pontiff said that all responsible men, instructed in the bloody school of war, did not yet show themselves to be "truly against despotism and domination of other nations with force." Observing that two countries. Italy and France, would hold elections tomorrow, the pope as serted: "What will be decided is whether these Latin sisters will continue the Christian way of life or choose a materialistic state without religion and without God." The decision, he added, would depend upon "the names of the candidates elected." The pontiff declared that the present lack of security in the world, which he said arose from "disturbing international ' rela tions," can "exasperate passions to ' the point of preparing and provoking in a dark tomorrow a violent explosion." The way to peace, he said, "is long and arduous. . r .

June 1 (IP) A delegate to the United Nations security council said today that a subcommittee investigating charges that Franco Spain threat ens world peace has expressed moral condemnation of the re gime and recommended that the council pass the question to the UN's highest body, the general assembly. The delegate, who declined to permit use of his name, said the report, prepared after a month of deliberations, summed up the evidence and offered these two recommendations: 1. That the security council refer the question to the 51 nation general assembly for fur ther action. 2. That the security council endorse the three power declara tion of last March which con demned the Franco government, expressed hope that it would be removed by peaceful means, and termed the problem an internal one. Signers of the March dec laration were the United States, Great Britain and France. Poland Brought Charges The subcommittee was named after Dr. Oscar Lange, Polish delegate, demanded a worldwide Stock Sale To Finance Steam Deal Customers of the Klamath Heating company will under take purchase of the company's physical plant for $53,000, It was decided at a meeting of about 70 steam heat users at the cir cult court room last night. The plan Is to set up a separ ate corporation, financed by the customers as stockholders, to ac qu.re and operate the central heating utility here. Under terms of an offer from the heat ing company, the deal must b concluded by June 10. An effort will be made to sell stock to the extent of $130,000. to be used in buying the central plant, steam lines, and other fa cilities, and in making improve-; ments to put the layout into shape for efficient operation. Customers will be asked to buy stock in the amount of an average two-years billing. Total billings for two years to the company's 279 users amount to ft little more than $150,000. Sales Committee Appointed First adopted motion at last night's meeting was to authorize the customers' committee to pro ceed with the purchase of the plant. This was amended to in elude the provision "if the money can be raised." Next step was to authorize appointment oi a committee to solicit customers to sell the necessary amount of atock. . t The customers' committee,' headed by Mayor Ed Ostendorf. has been working on the heating plant problem for several months. It began its work after D. O.
