i Thursday, April 3, 1952 LETTERS TO THE EDITOR THE CLINTON CHRONICLE Page Serea Editor The Chronicle: From excerpts of the book, “Mr. President,” just off the press, by William Hilknan, two of South Carolina’s most distinguished citi zens have been attacked. There appears to be some unusual rever sals. In reference to Secretary’ Byrnes as being too soft toward Russia. We heretofore had heard it the other way—as taking a more get-tough policy on Mr. Byrnes’ part. The other carolinian, Bernard M. Baruch (known to many as the maker and adviser of presidents). He, too, was shown no appreciation or consideration for services faith fully rendered to the party and the nation. After contributing lib erally to Mr. Truman’s 1948 cam paign, tout later refusing to comply to demands was villified in the press. On the other hand is the state ment boastfully referring to “Boss” Pendergast of Kansas City, being more dependable than most busi ness men, such would best have been unrecorded. Also, previously recorded inci dents were unmentioned. As the outburst against the Marines being on “police action” in Korea, and the accusations against A. Hiss as -toeing a"“red hearing.^** The Democratic party chairman, Trank E. McKinney, has a difficult task trying to smoothe the path of impressions of the president’s fu ture political intentions, the party chairman was slapped down as by a super man. Unless Mr. McKin ney can perform miracles and has more courage than personal pride, he will give up in despair. It appears that this latest flare of temper terminated from desper ation after the results of the recent- ly conducted primaries in New Hampshire and Minnesota. After being outstripped in both these elections toy a until recently little known Southern senator, Estes Ke- fauver, will, with all this and the present White House occupant tem perament there just had to be an explosion to add to the confusion. In general there appears to be a desperate thrust in support of an over-inflated and wounded ego Hence the outcome, not to run again, the wise decision of Mr. Tru man and the country. E.

According to a forecast of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, meat production this year may be large enough to provide an average of 144 pounds per person as com pared with 141 pounds in 1951. Most of the meat increase will be in beef and veal. Much of the step- up in beef will be in medium and lower grades, although some of it probably will be in the better grades of grain-fed cattle. The amount of lamb and mutton eaten by the average American is expected to go up slightlyrLlif year consumption of lamb and mutton was the lowest on record—only slightly over 3 pounds per person. A little more pork may be on the market in the first seven or eight months of 1952 than in 1951, but pro duction for the last part of the year may be somewhat smaller. Americans will also probably eat more chicken and turkey. Produc- • tion of turkeys for 1952 may exceed the record-high 1951 level, but out put of chicken is expected to be about the same.

Experts Forecast Greater Cattle Slaughter in 1952 In the outlook for meat animals. 1952 may be a pivotal year when new or modified trends in meat pro duction take place, experts report. The present low slaughter rate and large farm inventories are setting the stage for a substantial increase in slaughter in future years. The big question is how soon and what its price effect will be? In all probabil ity cattle slaughter will increase in 1952 for the first time in five years.
