Farm Leader Spurs Food Drive
ALBERT S. GOSS, master of the National Grange, the na-
1\ tion’s biggest farm organization, is a mild-appearing, be
spectacled, little man you might mistake for a professor on
leave from an Ivy league college.
However, Goss does some unprofessional slugging on is
sues that interest him, and although he represents the farmer
he also strongly believes in feeding Europe. Calling on Pres
ident Truman, Goss urged drastic steps to deal with the food
crisis.
"This is an emergency, comparable to a wartime emergency,” the
tarm leader told the President. "So we all must pitch in, tighten our belts
and treat it as such.
"Until it is over, everybody—business, labor and the farmers—will
have to be satisfied with a smaller margin of profit. I am sure you will
find the farmers only too willing to do their part”
The grange leader showed Mr. Truman a colored slide of a
picture of one week’s food rations in the American occupation sone
in Germany, taken when Goss was in Frankfort daring a European
tear last spring. It was enough to cover a good-sized dinner plate,
plus a small loaf of bread—a full week’s supply for one person.
"That’s typical of the countries now asking us for help,” explained
Goss. “Let me remind you that this picture was taken last spring. The
people over there will get even less next spring unless we do something.

Americans Resent Regimentation
T HE democratic way is the voluntary way. There is no-question about
that premise. The American people resent being regimented in peace
time or forced to do anything. During the war they had boys and hus
bands and friends in a fighting war and they stood for some regimentation
in the interests of the common good.
But one cannot help but wish that in such an emergency as
the present food crisis, when the cooperation of every American
is needed to back up the foreign policy of the nation which is
waging a war for peace, the President of the United States
had some of the wartime powers of which he was stripped by
repeal of the war powers act.
A case in point is the sullen .reluctance of grain exchange gamblers
to post higher margins on future speculations when asked to do so by
the President in order to take some of the pressure off higher prices.

H. L PHILLIPS
It’s a Change in the Weather
Red Strength lies in Politics
R USSIA may be weak from a military and economic standpoint, but
she is far from weak from a political standpoint. Her diplomatic
position, which has enabled her to veto world peace plans and atomic
control, hardly can be considered weak.
More than 2,000 American passports for Russia are said to be out
standing. From more than one American, who has visited Russia lately
to zee what the Kremlin restrictedly wishes a visitor to see, has come
the suggestion that economically Russia could not pursue a war of any
duration. Her production is bad.
From the military standpoint, no doubt she could seize certain
Turkish territories and perhaps even Greece without great trouble.
Indeed, she might even try to seize the whole of Europe, although
her ability for military action up to the eastern rim of the
Atlantic ocean can be gravely doubted.
One peaceful chance of solution of this problem has not been men
tioned much in the discussions behind the scenes. If Russia is as ineffi
cient as she has shown herself to be, her destiny will be downward.
She developed only one good gun and one good plane during the war.
Ruthless sacrifice of manpower won the war for her. Only in politics is
she strong. Therefore if an aggressive resistance is maintained to her
by the world and she is allowed to work out her downward destiny in
accordance with her lack of ability—then peace could come without
another war.

equipped with four eyes, two mouths and two noses.
ANYTHING FOR A THRILL . . . Some people will do a lot for publi
city. Take this guy, for instance. He probably has a wife and three
sweet children waiting for him at home. Chances are his ulcers don’t
bother him too much. He has a good job. He has, in short, everything
to live for, but still goes skinning around on this vicious looking
rock. (It’s part of Rg Slide mountain in the New York Adirondacks.)
Worst of it is, he doesn’t even get his name in the papers.

Find Religious
Growth Gaining
Increased Interest Cited in
Church Programs in
United States.
CHICAGO. — Dr. Roy G. Ross,
general secretary of the Internation
al Council of Religious Education,
reports that religious education in
the United States has entered a pe
riod of progress and growth.
Citing increased participation in
church-sponsored programs, he pre
dicts further increases and says:
‘The general ‘climate’ in Amer
ica is much more favorable to re
ligious education than it was a dec
ade ago.
"Our more substantial citizens are
(hocked by conditions which have
resulted from lack of adequate re
ligious training — broken homes.
Increased intemperance and child
delinquency.
Have Bigger Turnouts.
"Therefore, there is a manifesta
tion of interest and concern on the
part of serious-minded parents and
civic leaders such as we haven’t
bad in a quarter-century."
Dr. Ross says there have been
bigger turnouts at sessions devoted
to instruction and character devel
opment since the end of the war.
But, he adds, the gains are "not
learly large enough.”
"During the last two years at
tendance has picked up decidedly,”
oe says. "I foresee a much larger
pickup in the years immediately
(head.”
He submits these statistics on
activities: |
More than two million students'
were released from public schools
tor an hour a week this year so they
could receive religious instruction at'
weekday schools sponsored by Prot
estant churches. The plan was in
effect in 2,200 communities, a num
ber that has been doubled in seven
years.
Youth Work Grows.
About 34 million persons now are
enrolled in Sunday schools.
Some five million children and
young folks attend vacation church
schools, conducted for periods rang
ing up to four weeks during the
summer months.
An estimated 350,000 to 400,000
young people go to 2,500 summer
camps and conferences. The camps
—some denominational, some inter
denominational — combine study,
worship and recreation. In some
camps selected young men and
women are trained for leadership
In their home congregations.
Dr. Ross also reports a rapid
growth of interdenominational youth
work through such agencies of co
operative action as local community
youth councils, the national United
Christian youth movement and the
world youth conference at Oslo.
"Christian education is the only
means by which America can' find
an adequate national faith,” he says.
“As such it is the best antidote for
false philosophies of life, including
those of atheistic communism."
Amputees to Get Better
‘Arms,’ Says Bureau Head
WASHINGTON. — Veterans’ ad
ministration has announced what it
described as the first marked im
provements in artificial arms "since
the Civil war.”
Chairman Robert S. Allen of the
VA’s prosthetic advisory committee
said that three new models, the
products of joint government and
industry research, would be made
available at once to veterans and
civilians through 250 dealers in the
country.
“They will be heart stirring to the
men and women who have lost
arms,” he said. “They are light
weight arms that offer some utility
to the wearers without requiring
them to pay a tremendous cost.”
Veteran amputees will receive
their choice of one of the three
types of arms free of charge from
Veterans’ administration, while the
cost to civilians will be far less than
for old models, Allen said.
He emphasized that the new type
arms were “not revolutionary or
miraculous developments,” but did
constitute great advances in manu
facture and design.
Peruvian Girl is Topliner
Among Women Bullfighters
LIMA, PERU.—Conchita Cintron,
23-year-old Peruvian girl, topliner
among a small select band .of
woman bullfighters, now has 510
bulls to her credit.
Conchita took up bullfighting when
15 and is a favorite in Spanish and
Portuguses bull rings. She claims to
be the only bullfighter, man or
woman, who fights afoot and on
horseback. She says she fights bulls
for the sheer love of it but when she
retires she is going to buy a ranch
to rear bulls instead of killing them.
Too Tiny to Be Weighed at
Birth; Now Hits 16 Pounds
NEW ROCHELLE, N. Y.—Rich

babies ever to survive, weighed an

born two and a half months ahead
of schedule. Doctors kept him in an
Incubator for a month, feeding him

Synthetic Process
Creates Star Gems
Rubies and Sapphires Made by
Man Excel in Beauty.
NEW YORK. — Synthetic star
rubies and star sapphires, some
thing new in man-made gems, have
been developed, it was announced
by the American Museum of Na
tural History and Linde Air Prod
ucts company, majters of the gems.
The star gems are among the most
coveted because there is a pale spot
of nearly white light in the center,
surrounded by streamers shaped
like a star.
One of the star rubies is more than
100 carats. It is bigger than any
known natural star ruby.
These synthetic stones are in
some cases more beautiful than the
natural gems, said Dr. F. H. Pugh,
the museum’s gem expert who con
ducted the exhibit
This does not mean, he explained,
that the synthetics surpass all na
tural stones, ‘fhey do not However,
he declared wearers will be unable
to distinguish between these and the
real thing.
Jewelers, however, will have no
difficulty in distinguishing between
the real and the synthetic, said
Pugh, because on the backs of the
man-made stones they can see
marks, somewhat like rings, that
show the growth stages of the syn
thetics.
Both of the star gems are made
of a very fine, white powder, alu
minum oxide. This powder is col
ored blue for sapphires, with either
cobalt, ditanium or iron. The pow
der is colored red for rubies with
chromium. The gem is made by de
positing this powder in a small
stream in a very hot flame of oxygen
and hydrogen.
Business Executives Now
Travel in Flyin{ Offices
BURBANK, CALIF. — Many
big business executives are using
luxurious private planes now in
stead of the private railroad
cars of other days.
A reasonable attempt has been
made to transfer some of the
comforts of the private car to its
air successor.
Military aircraft which not
many months ago were ferrying
brass hats and bombs to the far
comers of the Pacific are being
converted at the Lockheed air
craft service base here into club
cars for corporation officials.
Bucket seats and bomb bays have
given way to collapsible otto
mans, bars and wardrobes. In
teriors once stripped for action
are now parallel in limed oak
and furnished with curtains, up
holstery and carpeting.
Plushiest of the sky offices con
verted to date is a Lodestar which
boasts a stainless steel galley,
swivel passenger chairs, collapsi
ble ottomans, gold-plated ash
trays and glass holders, bar, fold
ing tables, table lamps, cabinets,
lavatory and wardrobe. The in
terior woodwork is all in limed
oak and upholstery and carpets
are of the finest quality.
Dangerous Ages in Traffic
Are 15 to 24, Survey Says
CHICAGO.—National Safety coun
cil finds traffic accidents more nu
merous in the 15 to 24 age group
than in any other except that of per
sons 65 or over.
In its "Accident Facts," an an
nual statistical yearbook, the coun
cil said there were 34 traffic deaths
among persons 15 to 24 years old per
100,000 population in 1946.
In the 25 to 44 age group, there
were 22 deaths per 100,000, 25 in the
45 to 64 age group, 12 in the 5 to 14
class and 12 among children up to
four years of age. Fifty deaths per
100,000 were recorded in the 65-year
and older bracket.
The high death rate among elder
ly persons was attributed to the fact
that many of them die of traffic in
juries a younger person might sur
vive, and also to the large number
of pedestrians in that age group.
Airliner Conducts Smaller
Plane to Landing in Fog
NEW YORK. — Two business
men in a small monoplane were cir
cling over the fog shrouded Newark
airport with gasoline for only seven
minutes more of flying when the
Newark traffic tower solved their
problem.
The tower directed an Eastern
Airlines plane to lead the smaller
craft to La Guardia field, using low
approach landing equipment which
the monoplane lacked.
James A. Bentley, a New York
management consultant, and his
son, James Jr., an engineer, who
were returning from a flight to Syra
cuse, N. Y., gratefully took the ad
vice, trailed the air liner and land
ed safely at La Guardia field.
