Agent Europe, or as General MacArthur advises, make the Asian theatre the major area of American aid and action. • • • Political observers here see in the domestic economic picture a re versal of sentiment to some extent over that of a year ago. It will be remembered that President Truman in the summer of 1950 asked for limited powers to stimulate mili tary production. However, the con gress heaped upon him extensive powers over wages and prices as well as production, and these pro grams have been placed into action with set-up of the various mobili zation agencies such as the national production authority and the office 1 of price stabilization^jwt* the de fense production administration, presided over by Charles E. Wil son, as the over-all policy making agency. • • • Newest segment to fan the dis- I sidents into action is the rebellion —not by consumers—but by live- j stock men, meat packers, distrib- utors and feeders over rollbacks on live and dressed beef, all despite the fact that the live beef ceilings are at some 140 per cent above parity price, which generally is conceded to be a fair price on farm produce, including beef. It is faily well known in Wash ington that Secretary of Agricul- I ture Brannan was not particularly strong for imposition of beef price roll-backs. However, the secretary has approved the OPS ceiling prices and believes they should be I given a chance to work. While de- j daring that we must watch closely cattle marketings and production j in the months ahead, and the feed situation as compared to cattle pro- ; duction, Secretary Brannan asserts that judging from the actual exper ience of the rate at which cattle 1 numbers were increased in 1949 : and 1950, average cattle and calf prices at about the 1950 level, i which will be allowed by the OPS celiings, these prices still consti tute a reasonable incentive for con- tuing production fo beef animals. * * * Secretary Brannon points out that beef animals require only about a third as much grain as hogs and other animals and he also pointed out how beef herds in creased almost two million head of cattle averaged $19.90 and how the herds increased by 4.1 million (hiring 1949 when the farm price j head in 1950 at prices averaging $23.10 and the January average, 1951 of $27.00 was even more fav orable, while the OPS ceiling price at the Chicago yards range from $27.30 for commercial grades up to $37.05 for prime grades. 1 So observers here declare it is hard to reconcile the statements i made by catlemen, some farm leaders and others, that OPS ceil ing prices will only cause severe shortages, black markets, and ra- ; tioning at a time when the parity on cattle as of April 1, 1951 aver aged only $19.90.

POI.SIN, Saginaw, Mich., was 17 years old tie was left with a family of eight to support. Two yean pre viously the big crash of ’29 had hit the country. At that time pictures were frequently shown of the starving people in the Ukraine. What more natural than that he should visualize those for whom he was respon sible soon presenting the appearance of thos^ emaciated Ukrainians? 1 Those pictures and his own situation worried him so that hit couldn’t relax. Nor could he sleep at night until exhaustion forced him to sleep. Then, naturally, it was a restless sleep. He was working In a meat market Business was poor at this time and customers few, so he was left to himself much of the time. Added to his other worry, he worried about what he would do if4ie lost his job. Jobs were few and far be tween in those days and in order to get something other than apples to eat, people were selling apples on the street to others who already had apples. So he stayed where he was for 10 years— ten years of a living hell, he says. Eventually he became ill with spastic colitis, and the doctor said the first thing he had to dn was to rid himself of the source of his trouble—worry. If he didn’t he could not hope to get any better. Since nothing remains static, he knew if he didn’t get better he would get worse. He knew too that as long as he remained se much to himself, his worry would continue. So he gave up his job and got one with a crew repairing a railroad frftck. Hr had to help tear up the tracks, replace the ties and then relay the tracks. The ties had to be imbedded in crushed rock. Hard, physical labor, so hard that when he went to bed at night he was so tired physically that h« became as motionless as one of those rocks on the pilo~ and he slept. Busy all day, he didn't have a chance even to think, much less worry. Now he looks back with regret to those 10 years in the meat market when he spent his energy on useless worry.
