McGEE’S DRUG STORF Phone No. 1 DRUG STORE A study by Henry Elmer Barnes tells us: “After eight years of the United Nations— here is a little of the record as far as it affects the United States: With a total population of between 155 and 160 million people—we are but one of the member nations of the United Nations—we are committed to, the defense of forty-one coun tries;—bound by treaty or mili tary .occupation to defend by force of arms a foreign popula tion of over 560 millions. Stated another way—the United States, charged with the normal obliga tion of defending our own terri torial boundaries and territorial possessions, is, in addition, also committed to the defense of more than 45 per cent of the in habited area of the world! Through military missions and bases the United States is also involved indirectly in the de fense of nine additional nations, constituting another population of foreigners of over 170 million. There are more than a hundred United States air bases though out the world, located in the ter ritories or colonies of ten na tions. Under the terms of the Rio Pact, signed September 2, 1947, the United States has treaty com mitments with Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rico, Cu ba, Dominician Republic, Ecua dor, Guatemala, Haiti, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, Par* aguay, Peru, El Salvador, Uru guay, and Venezuela. Eleven countries are involved in the North Atlantic Treaty Or ganization, signed April 3, 1949. These nations are Belgium, Can ada, Denmark, France, Great Britain, Iceland, Italy, Luxem bourg, Netherlands, Norway, and Portugal. United States Military Mis sions are in Bolivia, Brazil, Co lombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Guatemala, Liberia, Iran, Tur key, Formosa, Indonesia, Indo china, Korea and Thailand. The United States has estab lished air bases in the Azores (Portugal), Greenland (Den mark), Iceland, Great Britain, France, Germany, Libya, Saudi Arabia, Philippines and Japan. We have occupation forces in Germany and Austria and na val patrols for Formosa and Ko rea. , And all of this—remember— is the score card for the United states as a member of the United Nations! Truman spent $191,081,394,191 in less than five years in the furtherance of this program for Empire—more than the combin ed expenditures of the adminis trations from President Wash ington to and including Roose velt; — and Roosevelt, as you know, had outspent the combin ed expenditures of the adminis trations that had preceded him. There is no indication that the Eisenhower administration is deviating, or is inclined to de viate, from the foreign policies of Roosevelt or Truman.” I think the nations need a for um for the open discussion of world affairs and world prob lems, but I think the present or ganization, known as the United Nations, is a mischief-making affair and likely to involve our nation in all the trials, tribula tions, misfortunes, calamities, ambitions, aspirations of the whole world. I think we should move to reorganize, re-constitute the United Nations so that it may be a common ground of meeting for all nations, for discussion, only, and without obligation. • • • Charleston, South Carolina, looms large in the September Monthly Review of the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond. Dis cussing the development of su burban business, or the trend to ward the locating of enterprises in the suburbs, the Review says: “For the most part, the areas with the greatest population gains from 1940 to 1950 had also the fastest growing markets in the period 1939-48. Norfolk- Portsmouth had the largest pop ulation increase, 139 per cent, and the second largest gain in retail sales, 56.7 per cent. 'Die Maryland and Virginia ring areas of the District of Columbia increased 115 per cent in popula tion and 389 per cent in sales; Charleston, South Carolina, 90 per cent and 574 par cent—the latter the largest gain in the Dis trict—Durham 51 per cent and Baltimore 73 per cent and 311 per cent. • * • I went to Death Valley, Cali fornia, and visited Scotty’s fabu lous castle out in the desert. So I read with special interest a newsy account of new uses for borax, this interesting story com ing from Death Valley. “Often found in nature com bined with sodium boron in the form of borax, in one form or an other, is doing such things as making a washable paint for wallboard practically fireproof. It’s keeping citrus fruit fresh,' making glass fibre more pliant and checking the corrosive effect of anti-freeze in auto radiators. About 90 per cent of the world’s production of white, crystalline borax comes from the rugged desert country northeast of Los Angles, which includes Death Valley. For decades borax has been fa miliar in such household staples as eyewash, tooth powder and soap, while industry has used it in making glass, enamels and glue and in refining metals. Now this ancient material, used by Oriental silversmiths a thousand years ago to help fuse their met al, is carving out a broadening economic niche. Just a few months ago one of the two leading borax producers, introduced its Borotherm a white powder derived from boron that’s mixed into paints and helps wallboard against fire. So far four building materials manufac turers have Borotherm mainly for experimental use at the mo ment, and negotiations are un derway for others. The glass fibre, anti-freeze and citrus aids have all bowed in within the past few years. In glass fibre and anti-freeze, as in paint, borax derivatives are sim ply blended in during manufac ture. Citrus packers wash their oranges, lemons and grapefruit in a borax solution to prevent blue mold decay, which used to ruin as much as one-third of a shipment. Other farm uses are growing fast, borax people say. The larg est producer and a sponsor of re search projects at agricultural colleges, claims its fertilizers, in addition to 'improving the yield and quality of apples, can double the per-acre yield of alfalfa. Some plant foods contain borax to eliminate diseases in sugar beets and tobacco that are caus ed by boron deficiencies in the soil. In steel alloys, tiny quantities of boron help harden the metal and permit lower heat and short- e rtime for tempering. Though use of boron in steel sank back to 35,000 pounds in 1953 from \ 49,000 the year before, that was sitll well above the 30,000 pounds of 1951. Only a few-thousandths of 1 per cent of each ton of this steel is boron. Borax is making significant inriads into the market for car bide abrasives, carbon c o m- pounds that are made in electric furnaces and are widely used in grinding wheels, hones and the like. Boron carbide is the hard est known substances next to the diamond, and that, of course, makes it a formidable cutter and grinder.” And now they are using borax wRh gasoline in order to give greater mUeage. When something so useful may be found in Death Valley, we may hope for great discoveries in our swamps and sandhills. s than one category.” The largest number—384—of separations involving subversion was listed for the army, followed by 260 from the air force, 281 from the Veterans Administra tion and 227 from the Navy. Crop Prospects Improve Slightly In September Washington,. Oct. 11—The Ag riculture Department today re ported a slight improvement in crop prospects in September, raising the total volume to a fie with 1951 for the fifth largest. This big crop is being produc ed despite drought in a large mid-western and southam area and government planting raptric* tions on several crepe. Prospects for corn and wheat declined, but changes in esti mates for most individual crops since Sept 1 were relatively small. While some drought afreas re ceived helpful, reviving rains during late September, weather for the mont hwas mostly dry and extremely warm, the depart ment said. The corn crop, the nation’s No. 1 food resource—vaired widely in quality between areas and even In states. Crops for which increases in prospects, occurred during Sop» tember included sorg hum grain, alfUlfa hay, potatoes, sugar beets and cotton. TiMm ^ G°*666 Only Americas First Choice Truck Gives You The First Choice Features 1,743 Out Of Jobs Due To Subversion ,X- Washington — The Eisenhower administration reported today that 1,743 federal employees on whom it had found information relating to subversion quit or were fired between May 28, 1953, and last June 30. The Civil Service Commission made public the new figures* which have become a hot cam paign issue. The number separated because of information indicating, “in varying degrees, subversive ac tivities, ^subversive associations or membership in subversive or ganizations,” showed an increase of 1,360 since a previous break down last March. All told, the Civil Service Com mission said 2,611 federal work ers have been fired under the loyalty program and 4,315 re signed without a final deter mination of their cases. This total of 6,926 compares with 2,- 427 similar security seperations announced last spring. Vice-President Nixon has been saying that the administration has removed “Communists, fel low travelers and security risks” from government payrolls, “not by the hundreds, but by the thousands.” Democratic National Chairman Stephen Mitchell has challenged the accuracy of Nixon’s state ment and at one point accused him of uttering “falsehoods.” Mitchell’s point was a conten tion that Nixon was lumping ac tual subversives with such per sons as loose talkers or drunks. Today's report by the Civil Service Commission listed 613 cases in which there were alle gations of sex perversion com pared with 194 in March; 2,272 charges involving felonies and misdemeanors, compared with 605; and 3,657 lumped in a broad miscellaneous category, com pared with L045 in that class The agency said the total in its last March. breakdown of categories of de rogatory information in the files exceeded the number listed as fired or resigned “because an employee might have in his file information falling under more All these great advances that mean more work per day... more work per dollar are yours in America's lowest-priced truck line!
