Barkdoll claims that the Cold Storage did not live up to the alleged agree- ment, but put him to work as & laborer at its plant and paid him, from October 1950 through April 1951, $1,623.01. He is suing for what he claims is the balance due him, $1,176.99, plus court costs.

The National Production Author- ity ordered the elimination of the! fifth tire and tube to conserve| rubber. OPS pointed out that many | dealers have voluntarily !owered} their sales prices to varying ex- tents since NPA's action. The order provides that dealers now must reduce the selling price | of automobiles by an amount equal | to the manufacturer's charge to| them of the eliminated equipment," plus the amount of the dealer’s own markup on the tire. For ex- ample, if, the extra tire and tube| previously cost the dealer $10.00 and the selling price of ‘the car_reflec- ted a $2.00 profit on the tire and tube, he must reduce the. price of | the automobile $12.00 if the - tire and tube are eliminated. OPS reminded that requiring a customer to purchase _additional equipment, services or Teps as a_condition of the gale of &“ew automobile is prohibited. Likewise, requiring a purchaser to trade in 8 car or commodity 8s.a -coudition of sale is illegal. - “ WHERE IS SLO POKE! = | COAST GUARD ANSWER' The U. 8.

Alex Wiley of Wisconsin has sud- denly changed character from a| Jjovial jokester to a baiter of Gen. Omar Bradley. The ghost writer is Julius Cahn, supplied to the Wisconsin Senator | by the Republican National Com- mittée as his secretary. Cahn writes Wiley's speeches, asked ques- | tions for him at the Kefauver committee and even produced a movie skit of the Senator. Before the MacArthur hearings, Senator Wiley was chiefly famous as an expert on Wisconsin cheese and a mild foreign-relations follow- er ‘of the late Sen. Arthur Vanden- berg. But, since being coached in the Hollywood technique, he has| bristled forth as a baiter of gen- erals. 4 " Taft vs. Tke The bitter feud between the pro- Taft and pro-Eisenhower factions inside the Republican party so far has been carefully concealed. How- ever, the current struggle for con- vention delegates will soon force both factions out into the open. The fight for Texas's 37 delegates to the Republican convention is typical of the undercover contest be- tween the friends of Taft and Ike, which taking place in practic. ally eve tate of the union. Eiseniicwer spokesman in Texas s Houston’s wealthy oilman, H. J.| “Jack” Porter, a loug-time person- al friend of Ike's and a big con- tributor to the GOP. Porter has' been quietly lining up delegates and is in frequent touch with Pennsyl- vania's astute Sen. Jim Duff, un-| official captain of the pro-Eisen- hower forces.

However, the American ground forces commander in Korea, Lt. Gen. James Van Fleet, rejected the report and refused to release a single North Korean. Van Fleet warned that he did not trust the North Koreans, that if 35,000 were released, the allies may have to capture them all over again. He was backed up in his decision by Gen- eral Ridgway. | President Rhee replied that the 35,000 had been carefully screened, that most of them had been forced into the North Korean Army by Communist officials.
