FOUR POWERS:
Postwar Blueprint
From out of the conference of for
eign ministers in Moscow was fash
ioned -a four-power pact between the
U. S., Great Britain, China and Rus
sia pledging a finish fight with the
Axis and this blue-print for the post
war world:
1. Eitablishment of an interna
tional organization of both large anc
small sovereign nations to, maintain
. peace and seCUMty*; 2. Before the
establishment of such an organiza
tion, the four powers will act togeth
er to preserve order; 3. Regulation
of the armaments of nations.
For Italy, the powers dedicated
themselves to destroying Fascism
and promoting democratic govern
ment. They refused to reco^ize
Germany’s^'annexation of Austria in
1938, telling that coun^ its future
treatment will be conditioned by its
assistance in overthrowing Naziism
within its borders.

MINES: ‘ '
Back in U. S. Hands
With the nation’s coal pits back
in U. S. hands, SecreUry of Interior
Harold Ickes conferred with United
Mine Workers President John L.
Lewis to end the walkout of al-
iriost 360,000 bituminous miners.
Having idven the pits back to pri
vate ownership October 12 after hav
ing taken them over last Juty, Ickea
found them in his lap again, follow
ing their seizure by President Roose
velt after the UMW began its walk
out over failure of negotiations for
a signed contract.
The big bone of contention lay
in the War Labor board’a refusal
to ratify a new contract drawn be
tween the UMW apd Illinois Coal
Operators, providing for an 8W hour
day, ^th compensati<« for underJ"
ground travel time and a daily wage
increase of $1.50. Instead th* WLB
recommended an 8% hour day, with
a daily pay boost of $1.12^.
To Ickes feU the task of reconcil
ing the UMW and WLB differences,
even as a danger of a coal shortage
arose, with deliveries prohibited to
anyone with 10 days’ supply on hand,
and sales limited to one ton to house

Job ft Tremendous XJp For Lasf 2 Months
Taking all of Kershaw County’s 82,-
913 people around the world In sleep
ing cars more than 19 times would
be a tremendous undertaking, yet
that is actually about the slse of the
troop movement lob reported today
by the Pullman company.
Since PMii Harbor Pullman has
carried about 14,000,000 troops a
distance of more than 16 million pas
senger miles In its sleeping cars, the
company reports. These figures are
said to cover mass milltsry move-
ts alone, and do not include the
vy travel of furloughed men and
others.
* Many of the boys from Kershaw
County, Uka serviceznsn from sU
parts at the country, are getting their

A. Kelly, vice president of the com
pany, Now most of them are making
six or seven trips by Pullman, aa the
intense training program of the armed
services necessitates that many moves
or more prior to embarkation for
points abroad, he said. In addition,
the Army and Navy bellevea in all
the comfort possible for the members*
of the armed forces, he declared, and
about two thirds of all military move
ments by rail are by Pullman sleeper.

movements, it is revealed by Mr.
Kelly, who pointed oat that in addi
tion to this heavy gnd steadily increas
ing military passenger burden, civilian
travel itself is also at a record-break
ing level. He believes that Pullman’s
passenger-mile volume for 1948 maj

billion by 30 or more per cent
’’The military and civilian passeng

“Favorable weather oondltioos dar
ing the past two months and return
of farm labor for seasonal work in
the woods haxo resulted in a notice
able Increase In the production of
war vital forest products,” says
Project Porester P, W. Cory of the U
8. Forest Service.
The project forester explained that
military and essential civilian require
ments for lumber alone now stand at
about 86,000.000,000 board feet for this
year, or three and one-half blllhm fret
more than the production quota an
nounced eaiiler.thia year. To maet
this Increased quota producers will
have to take fall advantage of every
favorable break in their production
proUems.
In addition to lumber, be eald that
vast quantltlea of palpwood are need
ed, as well as increased supplies of
veneer, chemical woods, charcoal, rail
road tlM, poles and piling. Altogether,
more than 1200 items for direct mili
tary and war-related use require wood.
The Timber Production War Proj
ect in this section is working in close
cooperation with 8. L. Harlow, State
WPB lumber advisor, on a five-told
program designed to bring about a
maximum timber output. Among the
objectives of the TPWP program are
(1) the location of stumpage for mills
heeding'It; (2) help In locating mar
kets for timber where It will do its
best war job; (8) help to operators in
obtaining or holding trained workers;
(4) assistance in obtaining essential
equipment,' and (6) aid in the solution
of problems of labor, marketing, trans
portation, and financing.
The Joint USP8-WPB program ia
being carried out with the full co
operation of all state and federal agen
cies which heretofore have fostered
the interests of forest Industries. -
Timbermen and sawmill qperatorS
are urged to call on any state or

Don Hufton. famous pass receiver
of the Green Bay Packers, has a mus
cle man, who is none other than Larry
Craig, powerful Bouth Carolinian,
quarter b^k for the Wisconsin profes
sional team.
Craig is quarterback on the Packer
team, which under the old Notre
Dame system, does not permit of him
handling the ball etlber a& A runoor or
passer or pass catcher. He is strictly
a blocker and thts''[:i8 how he pays
handsome dividends to
and the Packer team. For Larry has
a chore to do when the Packers start
searching fair a touchdown.
Craig takes all the buffeting and
pummeling that Hutson would ordi-
nariiy receive, j The ^ reaaaa—Den Ja
too valuable a man to the Packer ma
chine to be subjected to a lot of rough
handling. And they really do handle
them rough in the pro-league.
When the opposition takes the ball

end spot while Hutson goes into the
back field. When the Bays get the

an end position. ^ , -
Edward Proll, sport writer of the
Chicago Tribune thinks a lot of Cralg’e
ability and rates him as being tope
as a blocker 'and one of the fastM
men in the pro loop. Prell says that
twice in 1941 games with the Bears.
Craig outstepped George McAfee who
runs like he was shot out.of a can
non. The first thne, points out Prell.
wss at Green Bay when he Intercepted
a Bear pass and actually gained
ground as McAfse chased him to the
goal. Later at Wrlgley Field in Chica
go McAfee grabbed a Green Bay pass
and Craig caught him from behind
on the 19 yard line.
Craig weighs 210. pounds, is raw
boned, has long arms and big hands.
The Craig family, points oat Prell, is
as famous In 8mth (htrollna football
lore as Notre Dame’s Miller clan, and
Larry is the last of the Craigs.
