Today’s hearing mainly concern ed the farm plank, a problem tricky enough in itself. A drafting com mittee source said the plank prob ably will favor continued farm price supports at 90 per cent of parity, as in a bill passed in the closing days of Congress. It prob- ably will steer clear of the con- troversial Brannan plan, attacked by most major farm organizations.

Army chief of staff implied strongly Tuesday the Allies are ready to use an atomic weapon, if 0ver necessary, to prevent the Reds from driving them out of Korea. Gen. J. Lawton Collins told a news conference in Tokyo the Un ited Nations Command was pre pared “to use anything except ger m warfare,” but only if the Com munists seriously threatened Allied forces. He indicated he did not con sider the present bittlefront stale mate such a threat. Except for strikes by Allied fighter-bombers on Wlestern Front positions and nearly Pyongyang, the war was relatively quiet. The Eighth Army reported only minhr patrol skirmishes. i Allied troops strengthened their No strike-outs were credited to the aches.

But Francis Biddle, chairman of the politically potent Americans for | Democratic Action, said ‘the heat is certainly not off” the Democrats because the Republicans adopted a noncommittal civil rights plank.' “The ADA will fight for 1948- plus,” Biddle said.

Wharton COUNTY COMMISSIONER COURTEOUS, DEPENDABLE SERVICE where an estimated 600 North Ko- hold on an Eastern Front hill reans were killed or wounded in bitter fighting that began last Thursday. There were no attacks on the position Tuesday. The Fifth Air Force reported a Iqcomotive repair shop and a ce ment plant near the Korean Com munist capital of Pyongyang were blasted Tuesday. Two other build ings were bombed. It was a follow up raid to the massive air strikes against military targets in and near Pyongyang Friday. U. S. Marine and other Fifth Air Force pilots reported destroying 15 Communist bunkers and six gun emplacements on the Western Front. An overcast hampered raids elsewhere in North Korea. Collins’ news conference in Tok yo amplified somewhat his remarks in Seoul the day before. He had said previously the U. N. Command was prepared to use “other means” but only “ir. a pinch.” The chief of staff said that al though atomic artillery had been tested it was not ready for opera tional use because of “two or three technical reasons.”- But he added it would be ready for the battle field “within a few years.” Referring to the recent heavy Allied air raids on North Korean hydroelctetfic plants and other big installations, Collins said the Reds are in for several stronger air blows if they “insist on prolonging the war.

Work is man's great func tion He is nothing, he can do nothing, he can achieve noth ing. fulfill nothing, without working. Someone has wisely said: “The greatest asset of any na tion is the spirit of its pepple, and the greatest danger that can menace any nation is the breakdown of that spirit—the will to win and the courage to work.” Today the hope of this coun- try and the world is WORK. When we get back into full pro duction. with every shoulder to the wheel, all determined to give our utmost in effort—our fear of inflation, as well as for the future of our nation and ourselves will come to an end.
