t THE NEWBERRY SUN. NEWBERRY, S. C. By Paul Mallon Released by Western Newspaper Union. THOMAS FORCES RETAIN CONTROL OF AUTO UNION Thomas WASHINGTON.—A revolution in union labor organization is being frequently predicted-^but it may be a long time coming true. As an aftermath of the Reuther- Thomas contest for control among the auto workers, reports have sprung up that Walter Reu- ther (CIO) is hob nobbing with Dave Dubirsky ( A F L ) with a view to bringing the auto workers into the AFL. A co-related rumor has John Lewis, the puffing mine boss, taking hold of AFL with his dominating character, shunting William Green aside / in anticipa tion of developing one big union in AFL and trimming the CIO. The facts involved in the report are more apparent than real. Reu- ther is a socialist. It is true enough he won what might be superficial “con trol” of the UAW in the recent con vention—but it is a control so definitely limited he cannot ! exercise it much, k jj e won ^e presi- Kv d e n c y, ousting Reuther Thomas, but the forces behind Thomas packed the executive com mittee against Reuther by a mar gin, which my superior sources in side labor calculate at 13 to 9. In the Thomas majority are labor poli ticians who run the gamu£ from conservatism to communism—and do not for a moment doubt the pres ence of the commu’ : sts. UNION MEMBERS OPPOSED COMMUNISTIC PROGRAM Their obnoxious practices for Thomas at the convention, caused Reuther’s election. Most UAW dele gates did not care much about oust ing Thomas, at least a plain major ity did not, until the communists be came so active in behalf of Thomas. The commies made it easier for Reuther to get the presidency, be cause the majority in the union has a particular distaste for its own communist element—when, in spe cific cases, like this one, it can see plainly what they are doing, al though in cases outside the union, involving domestic and internation al affairs the majority is frequently misled by its communist minority. But Lewis, since his return to the AFL executive committee, has not been doing any thing about this or other labor revolu tion matters. In deed, he has made no move against Green, or to assert his bulk, or any move whatsoever. Lewis is not a so cialist Dubinsky, like Reuther, is, al though this fact is little known. (Most labor people count Dubinsky as a Republican in view of is strong po litical resistance to CIO and the communists.) Lewis is a free en terprise man who believes the greater the profits, the greater the wage. The best la bor authorities doubt that he will try to fold his mas sive wing over the Reuther - Dubinsky hobnobbers. Indeed if the Thomas fac tion of UAW could purge itself of the communists, it Dubinsky might expect to do more business with Lewis than the Reuther-Dubinsky faction—granting that Lewis does assert himself in AFL when his coal strike is over and other amusements to occupy his time, are lacking. The inner lineup of union poli tics is such, therefore, that a split in CIO is likely, and half of it or more may eventually go to AFL, but certainly not the communist part, and possibly not the socialist wingers. Also not the Hillman part. Here the split runs wider and deeper. Sidney Hillman is a socialist, but of somewhat the French kind which is currently playing ball with the communists on political issues fac ing the nation and world. CIO President Phillip Murray is actually being faced with an inner revolt by these leftist groups. Late ly Hillman has been very quiet, run ning his political action groups, and letting Murray handle the strike campaigns, which, incidentally, have done little to increase his prestige. Murray is a former protege of Lewis, who brought him up, and a Catholic. You can see plainly then that hi- politics of the unions is loading itself up with dynamite—or explo sive atomic energy—but no one can yet guess in which direction. In These United States Bought Alabama Farm ia ’39; Has Mortgage All Paid off Now FLORENCE, ALA.—They all said Louis Olive could never get out of debt if he bought that old 12ti-acre farm in the Fairview community. But he bought it anyway, back in 1939, and the mort gage is now paid off! <$> Mrs. Mabel Anderson, associate farm security administration super visor, recently told Mr. Olive’s story in an article published by the Flor ence Herald. She wrote: “In July, 1939, Mr. Olive filed an application with the FSA for a loan to purchase a farm, a farm that had been under mortgage for the past 43 years. A loan of $4,080 for purchase of the land and construc tion of a house and other buildings was granted. “The year before the purchase, only 22 acres were in cultivation, 1 in cotton and 15 in corn, but dur ing the first year of Mr. Olive’s own ership he terraced the farm, plant ed 13 acres in soil building crops, cleared a good portion of the land to get in a fairly good crop and put out a nice orchard. The plan called for a “live at home” program and this was followed always with a sur plus produced for market. “This year, when food has been a problem, the Olives have 1,450 pounds of meat, 500 quarts of canned fruit and vegetables, 200 bushels of potatoes, 10 bushels of sweet potatoes, 1 bushel of dried fruit and plenty of milk and eggs. Besides food for home use they have 600 bushels of corn, 17 tons of hay, hogs for another year, 4 cows, 5 heifers, 150 leghom hens and 3 head of work stock. “Plans have been made for an other year by planting 4 acres in clover and rye, 10 acres of vetch, and 8 acres of hay, according to soil conservation plans. “Howard Olive, the oldest son, has studied vocational agriculture at Central high school and with the aid of his teficher has landscaped the home and is maintaining the grounds as part of his school pro gram.” Name Your Price And You Can Buy Alien Properties VET BUYS FARM . . . John Dunn, World War II veteran, is now the owner of an 88-acre dairy farm near Manchester, Md. His purchase was made through the aid of the Farm Security ad ministration.

Y., married couples, wanted to learn to fly, so they took lessons during their two weeks’ vacation. During that time all four of them soloed, and all declared it was the finest vacation they’d ever had. You can guess what they’ll do this year when vacation time rolls around. By WALTER A.

Mark ham operates farms, forests, camps and apartment houses, all because he is alien property cus todian. in these tracts are 24,800 acres of agricultural land valued at $475,- 000; 460 acres of extractive and oil lands valued at $111,000; 14,070 acres of wooded lands at $88,000 and unimproved land, 6,290 acres, val ued at $12,000. There is some concentration of these lands along the Pacific coast and the middle Atlantic states. For instance, 70 parcels are in Califor nia, 33 in Texas, 61 in Missouri, 24 in Ohio, 33 in Pennsylvania and 75 in New York state. The alien property custodian has vested rights to total real estate holdings in this country, including both rural and urban, valued at $3,- 622,000. The custodian employs real estate brokers to collect rents, which at the end of the last fiscal year totaled $174,000. He is dispos ing of the property as expeditiously as work of preparing for sale can be completed and purchasers found. The custodian recently sold real estate owned by the German-Amer- ican Bund, consisting of several parcels of real estate comprising some 200 acres, for a boys’ camp. CESSNA . . .

Of The Moody Bible Institute of Cliicago. Released by Western Newspaper Union. Lesson for May 5 Lesson subjects and Scripture texts se lected and copyrighted by International Council of Religious Education; used by permission. TWO BROTHERS LEARN TOLERANCE LESSON TEXT—Mark 3:14-17; Luke 9:49 56; I John 4:7, 8. GOLDEN TEXT—And this commandment have we from him. that he who loveth God love his brother also.—I John 4:21. Intolerance is soundly condemned in our day, and we agree that the spirit which hates or hinders a man be—use he is of a certain race or c 1 is definitely wrong. Even wmiin Christian circles we could well learn more of that fine spirit of Christ which is epitomized in the words, “no respecter of persons.” A word of caution is needed, however, lest we come to extend our tolerance to that which is sinful, wicked or destructl/e. One should never tolerate poison in a child’s food, or in his textbooks. One does not tolerate a fire while it destroys one's house. Nor should one be tolerant of false teaching which breaks down faith in the Bible as the Word of God. James and John were outstanding in their places of leadership for God. We learn in our lesson for today that I. God Wants Powerful Men (Mark 3:14-17). There seems to be an impression current in some places that being a Christian is practically synonymous with being a weak, frightened, neg ative person without either person ality or power. The fact is that the gospel of out Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ right ly interpreted, and fully received into the heart and life of a man, brings such a tremendously enrich ing and transforming experience that it appeals to all, including the vital, dynamic type. These two men were “the sons of thunder”; that is, they had that flashing alertness and power, of per sonality which made them quick to understand and decisive in action. True, it showed itself in an impa tience which was wrong and a de sire to bring down judgment, when they should have shown compas sion, but that was power out of con trol, always a dangerous thing. II. God Wants Balanced Men (Luke 9:49, 50). Power goes to a man’s head, and he needs the balance of God to keep him from going astray. Then tqo, strong men have intense loyalties and are not afraid to assert them, and are prone to condemn all who do not conform. John was here exhibiting that dreadfully sectarian viewpoint which persists even in our day. To him it was not enough that a man was do ing the Lord’s work; he must either join their particular circle or quit. He was willing to stop a work of grace because this disciple of Christ was not in the regular group. That same spirit prevails today. One wonders how some narrow sectarians can read the words of Jesus without blushing in shame and rushing to his feet for forgive ness and cleansing. God wants dynamic men to work for him; but he wants them to be poised and balanced in their deal ings with others, especially with the brethren. III. God Wants Patient Men (Luke 9:51-56). The friction between the Jews and the Samaritans dated from the time when the latter—a half-Gentile peo ple—were denied the right to help in building the temple. That be came the foundation for long and bitter strife, which showed up in such a discourteous act as to re fuse a night’s lodging to travelers because their destination was the hated city of Jerusalem. Their offense viewed from anoth er angle was far more than a bitter lack of courtesy, for they were turn ing from their door the Son of God, the Lord of glory. . Stubborn prejudice combined with spiritual ignorance to make this tense and explosive situation. The sons of thunder had an answer ready—let’s blow them off the earth. Simple, wasn’t it? Yes, but nei ther right nor kind. These poor people should have drawn forth their compassion, not their hatred or a desire for revenge. Whenever and wherever you see a man set to get revenge on an other, you see a man who knows nothing of the true spirit of Christ (v. 55). IV. God Wants Loving Men (I John 4:7, 8). Love is not merely something that God shows toward men or in* spires in their hearts. God is love. Being God, he is love, and that love is not a passive quality but an ac tive one. He loves. Because he is love, those who profess to belong to him are also to love one another, to love a world lost in sin, yes, to love even the ut terly unlovely. Volumes have been written on this subject, but here we must be satisfied just to state the fact and to ask ourselves the direct question. Do I manifest the love of God in my life? Well, do you? Cookies made from the new emer gency flour tend to be darker in color but they can be made acceptably if directions are followed. Emergency Flour Meets Tests for Ereads and Cakes Just what does 80 per cent extrac- How will it affect our own home baking? How can it be used? These are some of the questions you’re probably asking yourself as the packages of emergency flour appear on store shelves. Well, let’s start with the first ques tion. Eighty per cent extraction means that instead of the 72 per cent and 28 pounds of animal feed that the miller has been getting from every 100 pounds of wheat he will now get 80 pounds of wheat to be used as flour and 20 pounds as animal feed. The new flour is slightly gray in color instead of the creamy white which we are accustomed to seeing. The color is due partially to the parts of the wheat kernel which nat urally contains some color or pig ment. Emergency flour is considerably better than what we first had antici pated. To date, in tests which have been made in actual home baking, the flour has behaved satisfactorily. In biscuits and breads, the color of the finished product has a slight grayish cast, but in other baked products such as muffins, cookies and cakes, the use of eggs tends to push the gray into the background. As for pie crust, you’ll find that the new flour gives pastry a much bet ter color than the flour we formerly used. It Seems that in pastry, the crust comes out a more golden color than before. How to Use. You will be seeing new recipes in this column from time to time giv ing you tips on how to use the emer gency flour. However, if you want to convert your old recipes, a safe rule to follow is to take 2 table spoons out of each 1 cup of flour that the recipe requires. In using the emergency flour with baking powder, soda or sour milk, tion flour mean? Lynn Says: Conserve Fats and Oils: Bet ter use can be made of drip pings — those fats that cook out of roasts, bacon and sausage. While the fats are still liquid, strain them through cheese cloth and store them in a cool place. They are especially good for seasoning vegetables; they may be' used for gravies and sauces and even some baking, in highly spiced cookies and cakes. Serve fewer fried foods to save on fat. If you do fry, use the shallow fat met.iod or the oven. Save the fats and oils which have been used for frying and re use them whenever possible. Otherwise, give the fats to your butcher. Render the excess fat on meats and use it either at home or turn it into the fat salvage. Dried bread crumbs can be used for puddings such as apple or peach betty, for dipping meats and fish, or other foods that are baked or fried. If you have dried cake, crumb it and use for a cake crumb crust for pie. Mix the crumbs with a little melted butter and sugar and press into a pie plate. Now that you’ve been asked to save wheat, do the following things to save on bread: Serve creamed meat on top of mashed potatoes instead of toast or biscuits. For lunch, serve open-faced sandwiches instead of the closed variety. Top meat casseroles with crumbled potato chips; use mashed potatoes or corn meal mush for topping meat and vege table casseroles. Lynn Chambers’ Menus Tuna Fish Au Gratin Boiled Potatoes Brussels Sprouts Banana-Apricot Salad Custard or Rice Pudding Butterscotch Sauce Rye Bread Beverage it seems advisa ble to use a min imum amount of stirring and mix ing after the flour has been added. The rule which you have known so long, “Mix only until flour is moistened,” as far as quick breads are concerned applies particularly to this new flour. In making yeast-leavened prod ucts, handle the batters and doughs lightly, especially after the first ris ing. Another must is to let the prod uct rise not so much, so start work ing on it just before it doubles itself. Texture in Cakes. For the emergency, you’ll have to forego your elaborate, velvety textured cakes. Simple cakes—the two egg type—are quite acceptable made with the new flour, but the texture is not as soft and fine as you are accustomed to. You see, the flour is just not as soft and fine as the bleached flours which we rec ommend for really fine cakes. In ad dition to the simple white or gold cakes, you may also use the flour for* devil’s food or chocolate cakes and spice cakes. Thickening Qualities. For all practical purposes, the new flour has the same thickening quality as regu lar all - purpose flour. Use it the same way as you would our regu lar flour in thick ening gravies, sauces, stews, pie and cake fill ings. Another point which it is well to remember in regard to the new flour is that it will not keep as well as regular flour. Don’t stock up on it! Buy limited quantities, but buy them more often. The same storage that we give regular flour is doubly important in this case. A covered container is recommended, and it’s best to keep this in a cool, dry place. Food Value. Some people have said that the emergency flour is a fine thing be cause it has more “good in it.” Well, of course, the bran in the flour is Pie crust made from the new flour browns more readily even though you will need a few drops more of ice water to make it hold together. nourishing because it gives us more thiamin, niacin, riboflavin and iron than regular flour. It gives us only about half as much as enriched white flour, however.
