Britain's ruling Labor Party concluded Its annual conference today with shouted approval of a platform calling for "more socialism!" It also witnessed a brief Irish demonstration. Laborite leaders forged at least surface unity in five days of discus sions here, but there still were rumblings of discontent among some of the elements from which the party draws its strength. The leaders prepared to dig in for a twin battle against the Conservatives in the general election next year and against the party's own tendency to split up. There were warnings from back seat delegates that this two-front political fight may be waged during a depression. Irish Republic demonstrators threw the closing session into an uproar with shouts and a shower of leaflets.

The leaflets charged the Labor Party "endorses the mutilation of the Irish nation and gives permanent power to an anti-democratic Tory junta in Belfast." FARMER PINNED BY TRACTOR KILLS HIMSELF RED CREEK, June 10. (A) A farmer pinned by an overturned tractor strangled himself with twigs to his agony, a coroner's physician reported. James Jenkins, 52, was caught yesterday beneath the machine when It tipped over backward while hauling a mower up a steep hill in an orchard. The tractor seat crushed his abdomen. Dr.

Charles Single, acting as a Wayne County coroner's physician, said Jenkins apparently grasped twigs from a nearby bush, placed them around his throat and strangled himself. The body was found by a neighbor several hours later. ADVERTISEMENT ffiky EVER PAY MORE? APPFPI -tiSO. life" MRS.

Began As Private The general, who hopes some day to WTite about his plight as a displaced person in Germany, began his military career as a rear rank private in the Czarist army.

He was a line lieutenant when the Russian revolution developed in 1917. The Czarists were demobilized. He returned to his native Lithuania to join its army. Trained in Germany, -he fought with the Lithuanian army against Russia in 1918. Wounded and imprisoned for 20 months, Rastikis was released in 1920 and became a colonel.

By 1935 he had risen to general of the Lithuanian army but in 1940 the Russian Communists thundered over his land again. Because of his determined loyalty to Lithuanian demands for peace, he was read out of the army and stripped of rank. He hid in the mountains until June 22, 1941, when Hitr Germany's military machine rolled over Lithuania. Then he joined the Lithuanian underground and fought both Germans and Communists. Rastikis and his wife reached the U.

S. section of occupied Germany in 1944. Friends in this country arranged for his entry In the D. P. quota.

ROBINSON From insurance to inventor, with experience as sheet metal scheduler and special training in sheet metal layout that paved the way, are skip-hop notes of the busy life of Grady P. Robinson, co-partner of Robinson's Ventilated Awnings, established October, 1945, and located at 1302 West Sligh Avenue. A native of Mississippi, Mr.

Robinson attended the Mississippi A. and M. College, where he participated in sports and was on the basketball squad. He came to Tampa in 1925 and was identified with the life insurance business many years. However, possessing an inventive mind, Mr.

Robinson became interested in the possibilities of metal. When the opportunity presented itself he accepted employment with the Tampa Shipbuilding Company, where he was sheet metal scheduler for five years. He took special training in sheef metal layout, whereupon he invented, and has patent pending since December, 1946, his ventilated metal awning, made entirely of aluminum and braced for perfect rigidity. These awnings, sold by Robinson's Ventilated Awnings, will not sag or warp. Special provisions for installing on the buildings ensure greatest possible security.

Artistically designed by specialists, they beautify the home while providing the comfort of maximum ventilation. These awnings have been installed on scores of homes in Florida and every buyer will gladly recommend them. They are designed to prevent water seepage through windows and sashes, and preserves plaster, interior painting, and enhances the physical value of the property. Mr. Robinson married Miss Florence Tucker of Tampa, and they have two children, who are both attending Hillsborough High Betty June is a senioc and Grady, a sophomore.

Mr. Robinson is a Missionary Baptist member, teaches Sunday School and is a deacon in the church, and prides himself on the fact that he is a total abstainer. He is former president of Palmetto Beach DeSoto Civic Club. His sports interests center in basketball and baseball, but he classifies tropical fish as his hobby.

(IP) The United States wants peace and security but not peace at any price, Gen. Bradley, Army chief of staff, said today. "Technically, we have peace now peace defined as the absence of armed conflict but certainly we do not have security," Gen. Bradley said in an address at the Lafayette College commencement exercises. The American people and their leaders must accept the belief that "military strength cannot be a last resort device for the extraction of poorly forged political irons from the fire," Gen.

Bradley said. "It is an unfortunate but valid criticism of modern international negotiations," he added, "that a nation's volce wnispers or comanas in exact ratio to its moral strength and mili- fnrw nntentiol I CULVER CITY, June 10. (IP) A onetime commander in chief of the Lithuanian army goes to work today assembling airplane hydraulic valves in a little back shop here. But Gen. Stasys Rastikis says he is "happy as a bird" behind a work bench at the Hartwell Aviation Co.

The 53-year-old general starts work at the bottom less than a month after he and his wife, Helen Marie, 46, arrived in New York as displaced persons. They were sick and exhausted after nine years of fighting, hiding, running and imprisonment at the hands of the Russians and Germans. Wife Released Underground reports say that one of their three daughters is dead. From the other two, also whisked away to Siberia, has come no word. Mrs.

Rastikis, arrested with the girls, was imprisoned but eventually released to rejoin her husband in the Lithuanian underground. How the general came to work here is a story in itself. Clark Hartwell, the aviation company owner, met The Rev. Joseph Concius, president of the United Lithuanian Relief in America, at Lake Arrowhead, Calif. Father Concius asked Haflwell if he could use a good man.

Hartwell said "sure" and the "good man" turned out to be Gen. Rastikis. Through an interpreter the general says he is pleasantly impressed with America except for the automobiles: RUSSIAN BEARDS TOO TOUGH FOR SILK SHIRTS MOSCOW, June 10. (U.R) There's nothing wrong with those $24 artificial silk shirts put'out by the Leningrad "Red Banner" knitted apparel and stocking factory, its director holds. He says they simply were not made to withstand the scratching of the beard-stubble of men who are too lazy to shave every day.

The Leningrad Pravda made the shirt scandal the subject of an article today. The newspaper said that numerous persons complained that the collars came apart after a couple of days. Shirt No. 508, as it Is called, should be worn only by men who keep themsel'es close shaven, the director replied. "Artificial silk can not resist the friction caused by unshaven beards," he explained.

If that was the case, Piavda's writer asked sarcastically, why was it that the cuffs came off too? MIDDLE-AGED MAN JAILED FOR FIRECRACKER RICHMOND, 10. (IP) Police had scarcely finished putting out a fireworks warning when a policeman saw a middle-aged man set off a firecracker. "Made a lot of noise, didn't asked Howard Wedebrook, Ports mouth, Ohio, undertaker. "It sure did," said the policeman. "Besides, it's against the state law." Wedebrook explained he had found the firecracker while on a stroll from his hotel, but, he spent last night in jail.

Today, he was fined $10 and costs. "At your age," City Judge Andrew Herlitz frowned, "you should know better."

Portraits By JAMES J. METCALFE Doing Good There is no greater glory than The act of doing good For country, relative or friend Or for the neighborhood The service to a kindred soul In time of stress or strife Or anything that may relieve The burden of this life It matters not how far away Or near the need may be Because the whole wide world belongs To one community The brotherhood and sisterhood That join their hands as one And look to God beneath the same Eternal moon and sun The act of doing good reflects The feeling of a friend And great or small, this deed is all That matters in the end.
