THE NEWBERRY SUN. NEWBERRY. S. C. Returning the Compliment WASHINGTON.—When Gen. Doug- las MacArthur failed of reappoint ment to a second term as chief of staff and sailed to organize the Phil ippine constabulary, he took with him to Manila one of the bright, Dp-and-coming men of the army— Lieut. Col. Dwight Eisenhower. But after some time in the Philip pines, things didn’t go well and Mac Arthur fired Ike. Eisenhower went back to the U. S. to climb to fame and the top command of the Ameri can army. The fact that MacArthur ■red Eisenhower has been denied by MacArthnr, bat it is true. Since then tbe two men hare not been on particularly good terms. In fact, they hare not seen each other since. When Eisenhower finally decided to bow out of the presidential race, therefore, friends close to him say that he got a little extra kick out of inserting the admonition that a mili tnry man should not nurture the ambition to be president of the Unit ed States. For those lines were aimed directly at his old friend and commander, the only military man who aspires to be president—Doug las MacArthur. Marshal Tito’s Rating Here is the latest story going the roand of the diplomatic carps: A Serb was asked: “How do the Serbian people like Mar shal Tito?” The reply was: “Abont 98 per cent for MarshaU and 10 per cent for Tito." Tin Can Shortage Again A significant backstage battle, af fecting every housewife who buys canned goods, has the canning in dustry in an uproar. The jommerce department sum moned canning representatives be hind closed doors recently and an nounced that tin was going back on a wartime basis. This means tin- can production must be curtailed and the manufacture of odd-size cans discontinued. Loudest protest came from the spokesman for Campbell Soup company, who accused the administration of selling the American public short in order to supply containers for relief food, bound for Europe. The industry finally proposed vol untary controls, but the government would not waver, complaining that not a single ton of strategic tin has been stockpiled since end of the war. The army and navy are de manding that emergency reserves •< tin must be built up in case of another Pearl Harbor. The army and navy also demand emergency reserves of oil. There are none today. Win—or Just Show? Memories of Hollywood still are lingering from last year’s raule-dazzle before the nn- American affairs committee. As a result, GOP senators now are planning to make movies of their own — complete with Holly wood stars and animated car toons. They plan to prodnee 25 political films glorifying the accomplishments of the 80th con gress. Smitten with the same movie bag, the Democratic party is baying op 16-mm. movie projec tors to show political films. Econ omy-minded Republicans are not baying any projectors, plan to ask each county chairman to bor row a projector instead. Stone Age Jungle Will Be Explored Scientists to Investigate Primitive Aborigines Of Australia. WASHINGTON. — Scientists of two nations are preparing for a hazardous expedition among the Stone Age wild men and animals of a little known, corner of Australia. They will visit Arnhem Land, a region of tropical swamps and dense forests the size of Maine, in northern Australia east of Darwin. There, despite a long-standing ban against white men, the scien tists will try to get along with and learn something about a race whose members are “true Stone Age wild men" dwelling among “stone age birds, beasts and reptiles.” Announcement of the expedition, a joint U. S.-Australian venture, was made by Dr. Gilbert Grosve- nor, president of National Geo graphic society. The society and Smithsonian in stitution will join with the Austra lian government in carrying out the project. Leader of the expedi tion will be Charles Pearcy Mount- ford of the South Australian muse um at Adelaide. Inaccessible Territory No automobile trails exist in Arn hem Land, which never has been mapped except by air. So the expe dition will approach by sea and work inland up the jungle rivers or more arduously by foot. Only recently have the natives of Arnhem Land—which was named for the vessel of its Dutch discover ers in 1623—been “absolved to some degree of a mythical reputation as bad men, killers and cannibals," the geographic society said. They now are believed to be gen erally friendly, although “extreme ly wary and difficult to approach by strangers.” And though these natives “can be warlike on slight provocation,’’ they are militarily backward. They never heard of the bow and arrow. They use in war the same wooden spears and throwing sticks they use in hunting. The only white men permitted to remain on the fringes of Arhnem Land are a handful of missionaries. Their missions were set up early In this century. A few exploring parties have penetrated inland, but they produced little data of scien tific value. Natives Are Primitive Beings. Because Australia long ago was cut off from the rest of the world, Us natives — animal and human — are among the planet’s most primi tive beings. So the expedition will study mammal, fish, insect, plant and marine as well as human life. The terrain is so difficult that only the nomadic natives, living the same way as did their ancestors of thousands of years ago, “are geared for travel” in Arnhem Land, the society said. First Atom Patent Only a few people know It, but a basic patent for atomic energy was officially registered by six Italians with the U. S. patent office as early aa October 3, 1935. As a result, the atomic energy commission Is de bating how much Uncle Sam owes In royalties to these six patent own ers for use of their basic patent. I The story goes back to 1930 in Rome where G. M. Giannini (no connection with the California bank ers), Emico Fermi, Edoardo Amal- dl, Bruno Pontecorvo, Franco Ras- etti and Emilio Segre were school mates. Together they evolved a nuclear reaction process which they called “process for the production of radio active substance," and for which they filed a patent in Italy on Octo ber 26, 1934. About this time they decided to leave the realm of Mussolini, and all except Amaldi succeeded in reaching the United States, where they again applied for a patent on October 3, 1935. It finally was granted July 2, 1940. As early as 1937, Giannini tried to form a company to produce iso topes, but couldn't find a backer. Later, Fermi joined the U. S. army’s Manhattan group, which produced the atomic bomb, and eventually it turned out that their patent, which no ona would back in 1937, formed the basis for the bomb which astounded the world at Hiro shima. Polar Bear Escapes, Chases Zookeeper to Top of Cage PORTLAND, ORE.—A full-grown polar bear romped for almost an hour inside the Washington park zoo’s main cage room, trapping Supt. J. L. Marks atop a cage after sending four tourists scurrying for safety. The 700-pound beast was lured into its cage with a meaty bone by zoo tender William Clark, who ear lier had outdistanced the bear in several turns around the octagon shaped main zoo building. Clark explained the bear broke a padlock on an outside cage door. The first that the zoo keepers realized the animal was free was when several tourists pointed fran tically toward the main zoo doors. There, Clark said, the big animal was—calmly looking into the build ing. When Clark sought to distract the animal, the bear started to chase him around the building. WCTU Wants to Withhold All Grain From Liquors WASHINGTON. — Mrs. D. Leigh Colvin, president of the national Women’s Christian Temperance un ion, is urging the complete diver sion of grain from the manufacture of alcoholic beverages to production of meat and other scarce foods. In a statement made public by the W.C.T.U., Mrs. Colvin said that distillers and brewers “are being allowed to waste grain at a rate sufficient to produce the equivalent of 3,750,000 hogs weighing 240 pounds each, annually.” “Contrary to what the booze mak ers would have the public believe,” she said, “every kind of grain used In liquor or beer is good for food or livestock feed. Any waste of grain for drink while the nation’s house wives and the people of other na tions struggle for food is unthink able.” ‘Pain Killer’ Developed For Quick Relief Anywhere LONDON. — A “pocket pain killer,” which can be used safely by unskilled people, is described in the Lancet, British medical maga zine. The device is a small inhalator containing “trilene,” a chlorine compound. A plunger breaks the glass and the gas is vaporized, emerging through a nozzle to easa the sufferer’s pain Hjinl I : • BEFORE SHE CAN WALK, HONEST ...

Improved System of Agriculture, Social Reforms Are Major Needs By EARLE HITCH Released by WNU Features. “The small community must be regarded as a cross-sec tion of our common life, with economic and cultural resources which will satisfy all the major needs and cravings of most men.” That thesis, expressed by Dr. Arthur E. Morgan, one of the leading U. S. authorities on the values of small community life, formed the basis of the commu-<8> Rural America At Stake No. 6 In a Series EMPEROR HIROHTTO PRESIDING ... Emperor Hirohito of Japan, who was not always so democratic as he is now, looks lonely and deserted as he attends the opening session of the Japanese diet in Tokyo.

Khrushchev, secretary of the Ukraine Communist party’s cen tral committee, was quoted by radio Moscow as virtually admit- ting that the Stalin regime is com batting anti-Soviet uprisings in the intensely nationalistic Ukraine. nity development plan instituted at Tupelo, Miss. The plan, now in its second year of operation and hailed as a model in revitalizing ru ral communities, has resulted in development of the resources in the area sur rounding Tupelo on a wide scale. The region em braces five popu lous counties, drith a total popula tion of approximately 175,000. Diversify Farming. Most of the agricultural produc tion comes from small family-type farms on which cotton has been the main source of income. But cotton has been hard on the land. Also it has its ups and downs as a money crop. So the small farmers around Tupelo are being introduced to an improved system of agriculture. The land is suited to intensive culti vation, and a general program to build up the land is proceeding. What is being done at Tupelo is worth the notice of small farm com munities everywhere. The best thing about the Tn- pelo plan is this: It is practical. The difficulties as well as the needs have been taken into con sideration, and the goals have been fixed accordingly. The plan does not expect to accomplish everything in a day. It is based on a reconversion policy that is doing two highly desirable things at the same time. It is achieving some immediate re sults and laying foundations for more important results in the future. Interest in the farmers’ problems is not new in Tupelo. The banks, the businessmen and the Daily Journal, Tupelo’s forward-looking newspa per, for years have recognized the importance of making farming pay a good return. Thirty years ago, when the boll weevil did heavy dam age in the cotton patches, the banks began promoting dairying. For years the Daily Journal has been campaigning for better agriculture v The farmers have been urged to look after their soils, and to con sider growing things beside cotton. Recalls Pitfalls of Past. This campaign has had the per sonal interest and a great deal of the time of the Daily Journal’s energetic publisher, George Mc Lean. Two years ago, when McLean returned from war service with the navy, he remembered the troubled times on the farms after World War I and during the depression. He was aware that cotton again might bump up against a declining market. He knew too that mechanization was not far away, and that the small farmers would be at a disadvantage when machine production is fully | established. McLean determined to make a careful study of the whole i farm outlook as it affected the Tu- ' pelo region. He employed, at the expense of his newspaper, a professional farm management organization to make a study of all the problems and what could be done about them. This was undertaken by the Doane Agricultural service of St. Louis, the outstanding agency in the farm management field. The survey was completed and the report filed about a year ago. Get Trained Leader. The report was laid before a meet ing of farm and business leaders, and a sponsoring organization was formed to back a program for build ing up resources of the five counties wjiich had been surveyed. This or ganization became the Rural Devel- NEW HERD SIRE . . .

The Daily Journal furnished the money and a trained agriculturalist was employed to di rect the program, with headquar ters in the Tupelo chamber of com merce. It was realized that the first big job was to get the people fully informed of the project and what it aimed to do. To get out good attendance at meetings, an entertainment program offering popular Hollywood films was presented once a week for eight consecutive weeks in five main communities. The results ex ceeded expectations, as the weekly attendance at the five meetings averaged 1,000. By the time the eight meetings had been concluded, the council had the groundwork well established for the first year’s program. This cov ered three types of farming, which offered several different ways to in crease farm income. To furnish ade quate markets for new farm indus try, home processing was under taken in poultry and certain fruits and vegetables having a known cus tomer demand. In addition to these objectives, the council also adopted several planks in the platform of a community so cial program. These included good health, including a good diet; recre ation, education, the church and the home. No In-Law Either NEWBURYPORT, MASS.—In 1897 John McGuire traveled from Cher- ryfield.
