Washington, June 1. — As testi

rot sound, he is bound to obtain of con g ress mo ved to get some leg-

advice so that he may correctly even ta ik j n some quarters of a 1

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.

"HOW TO WIN FRIENDS ■*"* 1
Author of
'MPUflNCE KOFIT
&on f t Expend Energy on Useless Worry
^fHEN JAMES W. 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.
