Washington, D. C. DEFENSE TNCIDENTS Out of 26 major ‘incidents of damâ€" age" in defense plants last month, military intelligence authorities have evidence that 14 were caused by sabotage. The other 12 were a¢â€" cidents. Of the 14 sabotage cases, four were dame Com: agen Com: gether Since the outbreak of the Russoâ€" German war, the Communist party line has somersaulted. The current dictum is, no intereference with deâ€" fense output It is significant that since the Nazi attack on the Soviets there has been a sharp decline in strikes. However, intelligence agents reâ€" port that the party has made no change in its policy of propagandizâ€" ing soldiers and sailors. ‘This is beâ€" ing pushed as vigorously as before, although with little success. In fact, party generals are so dissatisfied with results that they recently orâ€" dered labor unions dominated by Communists to help their campaign by offering their halls as soldier recâ€" reation centers. > . Another significant development in subversive influences relates to the Japanese. Since the expulsion of the Nazi and Italian consulates, intelligence officers have found that the Japaâ€" nese consulates in Los Angeles and Seattle have become the chief clearâ€" ing houses for espionage on the West coast. Japanese residents are sendâ€" ing in a constant stream of reports on airplane production, ship moveâ€" ments and other military informaâ€" The recent arrest of two Japanese spies in Los Angeles caused a flurry in Japauese quarters, and a numâ€" ber of Japanese rushed to Washâ€" ington, apparently to place themâ€" selves under the protection of their embassy. Others hotfooted for Mexâ€" ico, which may. mean they are planâ€" ning to shift spy headquarters to Mexico City. SECRET NEW AAA CZAR American Farm bureau and Naâ€" tional Grange moguls are smart polâ€" iticlans. Although their bill to creâ€" ate an independent, fiveâ€"man board to rule the AAA has not yet seen the light of day on Capitol Hill, they are already greasing the way by canny wooing of possible oppoâ€" nents. Latest to be "propositioned" is Rudoiph (‘"Spike") Evans, ambiâ€" tious head of the AAA, who might be a vigorous foe of their scheme to gain control of his own agency. ‘The farm leaders have sent word to Evans that they will back him for chairman of.their proposed board if he will go along with them. An inner group of 11 decided on this move at a secret powâ€"wow durâ€" ing the recent conference in Chiâ€" cago of the Farm bureau, Grange and National Coâ€"op council on the defense emergency. The master minds also accepted Walter Randolph of Alabama as the Farm bureau‘s selection on the boards, pledged themselves to take whomever the Grange picked, and agreed to allow this handâ€"picked trio to name the other two board memâ€" bers. The plan is very pat, but the mysâ€" tery is where Roosevelt and Secreâ€" tary Claude Wickard fit into the picture. Under the law the Presiâ€" dent appoints board members, and on agricultural selections he naturâ€" ally would consult Wickard. Apparâ€" ently, the Grange and Farm bureau manipulators propose to do the pickâ€" ing and force Roosevelt and Wickâ€" ard to go along. cll dsc 4B t amhc lfi t i ta is 9 A h sc 00 ©dtpmpverainnnnn‘ F dent appoints board members, and | is not important as the fact that it on agricultural selections he naturâ€" | was he who prescribed the theory ally would consult Wickard.

A great many writers insist that there is no quarrel between science and religion; for, says the theolâ€" ogian, religion seeks the truth also, as science does.

Before the times of Gaillilio, people taiked about two ways of living by reason. It is a| singular delusion common to manâ€" kind that most of will become parâ€" tisan to one idea as the "right" idea.

YOUR CITY GOERNMENT: WHAT It Is DOING Stein‘s beach from 2 to Savant by FARINA GRANTED INJUNCTION As readers of this column will reâ€" call Judge Theodore Forby of Zion on July 2 granted Angelo Farina a temporary injunction . restraining the City of Highland Park from inâ€" terfering in his garbage collection and disposal business and from preâ€" vdh‘*q_-mh‘hm city incinerator. In his petition for relief Warina contended that the gity‘s license fee of $400 plus $20 for each truck operated was disâ€" criminatory, unreasonable and conâ€" fscatory. On July 22 a motion to strike the city‘s answer was susâ€" tained by the court and the City was ordered to file an amended anâ€" swer within ten days. At the same hearing the court granted leave to Edward Klavetter, & catch basin cleaner, to file an intervening petiâ€" tion. Corporation Counsel McKenâ€" na stated in his report that the City would file its answer to both of these petitions in due time. Boiled down to a layman‘s lanâ€" guage Messers. Farina and Klavetâ€" ter are seeking court protection *rom what they contend is an unâ€" lawful license ordinance. The City holds differently and in future proâ€" ceedings will attempt to prove the reasonableness of its stand. SCAVENGER CONTROL 1 CERTAIN While important at the moment, | the above mentioned legal proceedâ€" ings are, nevertheless, not the real | crux of the matter. As stated in | Corporatoin Counsel McKenna‘s reâ€" | port, even in the event of an adâ€"| verse ruling the City has the right, | and of necessity will, enact other legislation for licensing and providâ€" ing for the control and regulation of its scavengers. The scavengers in Highland Park if they are adept at reading the hand writing on the vunmuntm.lh.tbtmz lection as it known before wo‘&‘:tnlflmm&‘il definitely a thing of the past. To state that it was a hundred percent satisfactory is simply imitating the ostrich that sticks his head in the sand. The citizens of the commuâ€" nity were not satisfied with it and no amount of litigation will change that fact. Perhaps the courtâ€"will find that the current license fee is too stiff and that the city will have to find other channels of regulation that will satisfy the law. If this finding is made it must do just that thing or its officials will not be livâ€" ing up to the requisites of their ofâ€" fices. It is this writer‘s opinion that after the shooting is all over the contestants in the aforemenâ€" tioned legal proceedings will find themselves winning the battle but losing the war. * CLAVEY WANTS LIGHTS The street lighting situation in the new Clavey subdivision proâ€" vided most of the fuel for the heatâ€" ed debate at the council meeting this week. It appears that Mr. Claâ€" vey is seeking to come to some sort of terms with the City concerning the payment of the first year‘s exâ€" penses on the five street lights he wants to install in his subdivision. As he is in the process of readying the property for the construction of several houses he is anxious to have immediate action on any agreement that might be made. Aside from the fact that the City might be letâ€" ting itself in for a boost in its light bill of some $80 per annum out of an already strained budget, it apâ€" pears that Mr. Clavey has not been | entirely cooperative with the City in the matter of removing signs put | up without the permission of the building department. In order to kill two birds with one stomne the | council has invited Mr. Clavey to | appear before it for an informal | discussion of both matters. ‘The \| council feels that by sucir action | the whole problem will be satisfacâ€" ‘| torily soived for all concerned. The council formally approved the contract between the city and Fort Sheridan to supply the latter with water as needed. Before askâ€" ing for a vote on the contract the mayor stated that the City was enâ€" tering into this agreement only beâ€" cause of the national emergency. In his report, Mayor Ronan anâ€" nounced the reâ€"appointment of Mrs. | Otis L. Beardsley, Hiram L. Kenniâ€" | cott and Rev. Christoph Keller to | the Library board. These appointâ€" ments were made to fill the vacanâ€" cies brought about by the expiraâ€" tion of three, threeâ€"year terms as of July 1.

Carefulâ€" ness is the solution to the national problem of automobile slaughter. But who cares? Most people‘s deâ€" sire is to have a car. And when they get a car, their desire is to have fun. The answer to the problem was found by philosophers years ago. The philosophers say, that contrary to common opinion, man is not a rational animal. For one person who cares, a thousand don‘t. ‘The advent of the auto has proved the philosophers‘ wisdom. ‘The desire for motorâ€"cars has played into the hands of avaricious business. Legâ€" islators made laws favoring the auto and its. rightâ€"ofâ€"way over pedesâ€" trians. So we have somé laws that say the automobile is more importâ€" ant than human life. Man is not a m-rumml:mfll.bll.m will be common destruction of life by that déadly weapon, an automoâ€" bile with a careless driver.

The United States government does not carry any fire insurance on the buildings at Washington, Not long ago in a local meetâ€" ing, the paving of Green Bay was prociaimed unimportant; the argâ€" ument being that any such funds could be used at the hospital. The safest industries in the United States are the tobacco, cement and stee! industries. It is to be hoped that they will grow considerably larger before final disâ€" position of the material is made. Now, whether funds go to payâ€" ing Green Bay or whether funds go to the hospital, us folks down here will get the benefit. Because IF they DON‘T pave Green Bay, us folks who have to drive it to get to Highland Park, will all BE in the hospital So we get the big laugh. pip id + Because the vacation season is upon us, the mayor states that there will be no regularly scheduled meetings for the next two or three weeks. Emergency matters will be handled by special meetings of any members of the council who happen to be available. f Government Buildings Not Insured MEMBER OF in 25e en ies ES "Becrtinld Bdicos 392 N.
