In order to back up United Nations, he feels that the United States should stay prepared. The high prices in the United States are our greatest threat to day, stated Mr. Dorn, who feels that Americans need the same spirit of sacrifice evidenced dur ing the war to bring down high living costs. “There are a lot of people. in America who do not care about democracy,” he said. “If they could go to Washington on a depression, they would do ft” the speaker declared. Speaking of the four billion dollar loan to Great Britian, he said, “I am told she got the money because her women and children were starving. Two hundred million of it was spent for whiskey, 200 million for tob acco, and 150 million for motion pictures.” Mr. Dorn is of the op inion that neither the Marshall plan, nor any other plan for the monetary aid of Europe, should be put into effect until inventor ies are made of money already spent in this manner. Mr. Dorn made no direct ref erence to the charge of “war mongering” made against him by Vishinsky; nor to the Rus sian’s refusal to enter into public Headquarters for VISITORS During the week of the Fair, October IS IS, you are invited to make your head quarters at Hamilton’s on lower Main Street.

Mr. Williams gave a brief re port on the national VFW en campment held in Cleveland, Ohio, recently. He stated that the convention passed a resolu tion calling for the passage of a bill to give all veterans a pension when they attain the age of 65. Mr. Williams said that the S. C. delegation proposed and had passed, a resolution asking Con gress to appropriate funds where by markers would be furnished to the families of veterans who are buried overseas, and whose bodies are not to be brought back to this country. Advocating a strong armed force for America, Mr. Williams pointed out that Russia has 300 combat divisions, while we have only three on European soil, and and only claims to have 10 div isions in this country. “The day war is declared for World war III” the speaker said, “is he day we must be in the front ranks. The atom bomb is our only superiority over the Red,” he said. “Congress should appropriate money enough to make the army attractive so that men would join it as a profession,” Mr. William; said. “We should have univer sal military training. I have never before believed in forced training in time of peace, but it is the only way to keep up our strength.” Ritz THURSDAY, FRIDAY Ida Lupino, Dane Clark, Wayne Morris, Fay Rainier “DEEP VALLEY” Cartoon—Tubby the Tuba FOX NEWS SATURDAY Edw.
