WEEKLY NEWS ANALYSIS
U. S. Carries Fight to Communists
As Congress Approves Foreign Aid;
Income Tax Cut Becomes a Reality
By Bill Schoentgen, WNU Staff Writer
(EDITOR’S NOTE: When opinions *re expressed in these columns, they are those of
Western Newspaper Union’s news analysts and not necessarily of this newspaper.)
FOREIGN AID:
In Motion
With President Truman’s signa
ture on the $6,098,000,000 foreign aid
bill, the massive, potent forces of
western capitalism moved into ac
tion against Russian communism for
the beginning of a titanic, long
range clash of strength.
To observers in the U.S. this inter
play of forces had all the ingredients
of an epic poem—the power of good
striving mightily to overcome the
power of evil, with the fate of a
large segment of mankind depend
ing on outcome of the struggle.
There was an epic quality, too, in
the manner in which congress, seem
ingly impelled by a strong sense of
urgency, raced the bill through for
final action. The house approved
it with a vote of 318 to 75 after less
than 15 minutes of explanation, and
the senate followed up swiftly with
a .voice vote.
Two days after passage of the
measure President Truman meshed
the gears of the global aid program
by ordering the reconstruction fi
nance corporation to advance 1.16
billion dollars at once. That action
released U.S. dollars, reconstruction
supplies and in some cases arms to
15 European nations, as well as Tur
key, western Germany, Trieste and
China.
The overall $6,098,000,000 aid pack
age includes 4.3 billion dollars for
the European recovery program, 275
million dollars for military assist
ance to Greece and Turkey, 463 mil
lion for China and 2 million dollars
for Trieste. All of it is aimed at
areas where communists are sharp
ening their sword of aggression.
An ill-starred movement in the
house to include aid to Franco Spain
in the bill was defeated before it
had time to do much damage to U.S.
prestige and moral stature abroad.
As the aid started to move, the
situation abroad stacked up some
thing like this:
Russia's seizure of Czechoslovakia,
Its new pact with Finland and pres
sure on Scandinavian nations, the
Soviets’ arbitrary action in Berlin
all pointed to the fact that Moscow
was trying to bring about a show
down in Europe before the Euro
pean recovery plan began to work
effectively.
On the other hand, the rapid pas
sage of the foreign aid measure, the
proposal to return Trieste to Italy
and the stiffening of American will
in Berlin seemed to indicate that
the U.S., while not forcing a show
down, was, nevertheless, willing to
have it as soon as possible.
Few persons familiar with the
situation thought that a showdown
with Russia necessarily meant war.
But it did involve acceptance of a
risk of war. U.S. leaders were will
ing to take that risk on the theory
that the likelihood of a shooting war
is less now than it might be in the
foreseeable future.
REDUCTION:
Tax Measure
President Truman’s veto of the
income tax reduction bill was crush-
ingly overridden by both houses of
congress—311 to 88 in the house, 77
to 10 in the senate—and U.S. citi
zens sat back to gloat over the first
major tax-cutting measure passed
in nearly 20 years.
In his now characteristic “I’d
rather be right than be president”
role, Mr. Truman had stubbornly
affixed his veto to the bill, protest
ing that it mainly would benefit per
sons with incomes of $5,000 or more,
encourage further inflation and sap
the nation’s strength at a time of
international “danger.”
Examination of the new tax struc
ture indicated that the President was
right in his first contention, at least
—that the law would be of greater
benefit to persons with high incomes
than to those in lower brackets.
Reason for that is that 12.6 per cent
of $3,000 is considerably less than
5 per cent of a million. (Cuts in
tax rates as provided by the new
law range from 12.6 per cent in the
lowest brackets to 5 per cent in the
top level )
Most interesting aspect of the tax
cut development was the question of
what motivated Mr. Truman to veto
the bill. He was aware that enough
members of both houses were sup
porting tax reduction in this election
year to override his veto; hence, that
his veto would be a gesture of fu
tility that would place him on record
Is opposing the popular will.
Mr. Truman must have been
aware, also, of the strong possibility
Who’s Mad?
Nobody seemed to be mad at
anybody when Gov. William M.
Tuck of Virginia and President
Trnman met at convocation exer
cises at William and Mary college,
Williamsburg, Va., to receive hon
orary degrees of doctor of laws.
Mr. Truman exchanged a cordial
handshake with Governor Tuck,
vociferous leader of the southern
states’ rebellion on the President’s
civil rights program.
that next ygar congress, safely
through the elections, will boost fed
eral income by reimposing some
version of the wartime excess profit
tax.
In view of these unpretty but in
escapable realities, the President’s
veto of the tax bill simply did not fit
the preconceived pattern of political
action in an election year. Rather,
it looked more like the deliberate
driving of another nail in his politi
cal coffin.
In his veto message, Mr Truman
contended that increased defense
and foreign aid measures might
make it necessary for congress to
raise taxes next year.
“In the case of the income tax,”
he said, “nearly 40 per cent of the
reduction would go to individuals
with net incomes in excess of $5,000,
who constitute less than 5 per cent
of all taxpayers.”
Also, the President continued,
while national income is high every
effort should be made to reduce the
size of the 253-billion-dollar public
debt.
He was, beyond doubt, sincere in
his objections, but they fell on deaf
ears in congress.
APOLOGIA:
From Russia
Even as Russia officially ex
pressed regret over the “unfortu
nate” British-Soviet plane crash over
Berlin which cost 15 lives, plain
people all over the world began to
see more clearly how, although no
nation is seeking war now, a war
could start accidentally.
A pilot of a Russian fighter plane
had buzzed a British plane, carrying
14 passengers, as it was landing in
Berlin. The transport crashed in
the Russian zone where the wreck
age lay for 12 hours before the
bodies were permitted to be moved.
Tension in Berlin eased somewhat
when British officials accepted the
Russian apology and canceled plans
to assign fighter plane escorts to all
air transports coming into Berlin.
The official British account of the
crash quoted eyewitnesses as saying
that the Russian fighter pilot was
"frolicking” when he hit the big
plane.
While the fighter pilot undoubtedly
had not been ordered to harrass the
British plane, it was equally appar
ent that he and his cohorts had not
been forbidden to do so.
Aside from the number of lives
lost, the disturbing part of the inci
dent is that it was, in a manner of
speaking, an aggressive action, an
overt act of deliberate provocation.
And it is just such incidents as that
that world leaders fear might one
day touch off the conflagration.

MODERN MOTORCADE
Cars on Road Hit Historic Figure
Number of passenger cars on the
road in the U.S. today is at an all-
time high, according to an article
in the April edition of “Business
Comment,” bulletin of Northern
Trust company.
This is true despite the fact that
no passenger cars were manufac
tured for private use during the war,
that an estimated average of 1.2
•f
million passenger car's were
scrapped or put into storage yearly
during the same period, and that
postwar production has not yet ex
ceeded the best prewar years, the
bulletin stated.
Latest available figures indicate
a total of 27.5 million passenger cars
registered in the U.S. on July 1,
1947, the article reported.
NEW START:
China’s Chiang
Hopelessly lost in the political and
economic confusion of China, Gen
eralissimo Chiang Kai-shek, leader
of the republic in one capacity or
another since 1927, was casting about
for a new role in the tragedy of the
Far East.
Afflicted externally by Communist
armies and internally by the venality
of black marketeers and corrupt gov
ernment officials, Chiang has been
in the position of a man attempting
to build a house on a pile of soggy
refuse.
Now, however, there was a report
out that Chiang had decided to quit
the presidency of China. But there
also were indications that, far from
going into retirement, he would re
main as Kuomintang strong man by
becoming premier.
A spokesman for the Kuomintang,
China’s governing party, said that
the generalissimo was determined to
free himself from the presidency in
order to lead a “holy war” against
the increasingly powerful Chinese
communists.
According to latest reports, Chiang
was urging that Dr. Hu Shih be
elected president. Former ambas
sador to Washington, Hu Shih now
is president of Peking university.
PALESTINE:
Trusteeship
Studiously ignoring the groups and
individuals who threw up their hands
in horror when the U. S. reversed
its position on partition of Palestine,
this nation went right ahead with its
avowed plan for a United Nations
trusteeship of the Holy Land.
Disclosing some of the details of
that plan, Warren R. Austin, Ameri
can delegate to the U.N., told se
curity council members that the
United States favors sending foreign
troops to Palestine to keep order, if
and when that becomes necessary,
under the trusteeship formula.
Unmistakably implied, although
not stated outright, was U. S. will
ingness to send American troops to
the Holy Land, provided other na
tions would join the parade also.
Another provision was that the num
ber of nations supplying troops be
specifically limited.
Actually, there was little optimism
that the fratricidal strife in Pales
tine or the causes producing it could
be effaced by the expedient of im
posing a U.N. trusteeship.
NUMBER ONE
Public Friend
Carl C. Countryman again wants
to be President of the United States.
With true political ebullience he has
dubbed himself “American Public
Friend Number One” and adopted
a monolithic slogan: “Countryman
for his countrymen; his countrymen
for Countryman.”
That this near-palindromic tongue-
twister is intended to strike sparks
of devotion from the flinty hearts
of American voters is apparent in
Countryman’s frank statement that:
“My campaign must be for over
whelming publicity and an appeal to
the imagination of
the American people.
I have a lot of evi
dence that my slogan,
‘Countryman for his
countrymen; his coun
trymen for Country
man,’ is doing the
trick.”
Countryman is not a
myth. He is not a hoax himself,
nor is he trying to perpetrate a
hoax through his presidency cam
paign. He is just a man, getting
along in years now, who is serving
the sincere belief that he could do
better in the White House than the
political figureheads in vogue.
Countryman opposes communism:
“I want no part nor dealings with
the Communist usurpers, who rep
resent but a small fragment of the
great Russian people.” -
Countryman opposes the military
draft: “The draft is a subterfuge
of incompetence. I favor making
universal military training so attrac
tive that it will be universal or ap
proximately so.”
Countryman’s name will appear on
no primary election ballots: “The
gain inherent in such a course will
not justify the necessary expendi
ture of time and money.”
Countryman likes John Bricker of
Ohio: “If I cannot get the nomina
tion, I am all for Bricker. I should
like to have the ticket Countryman
and Bricker but if not, then Bricker
and Countryman.”
There is a truism which holds that
universally present in the heart of
every man is the belief that he could
play Hamlet and run a newspaper.
Countryman brings that deeply felt
human motivation to the height of
true nobility. For in his heart is
the crowning belief that he also could
be a good president.
New Chemiced Curbs
Many Fruit Pests
Tests Show Fungicide
Effective in Orchard
Characterized as effective against
a wide range of fruit pests and dis
eases, a new dinitro fungicide and
insecticide for orchard use now is
available commercially under the
trade name of DN-289. It is a stable,
clear solution containing eight
ounces actual dinitro-secbutyl-
phenol in each quart and is readily
miscible with water.
DN-289 has proved effective as an
insecticide for use in the dormant
period against a variety of insects
such as rosy apple aphid, currant
aphid, black cherry aphid, mealy
plum aphid and viburnum aphid,
eye-spotted bud moth, cherry case-
bearer, pear psylla and oyster shell
scale on apple and lilac. Promising
results also have been shown in con
trol of San Jose scale, scurfy scale
and the eggs of the European red
mite.
As a fungicide, DN-289 has been
used successfully for control of sooty
blotch on pears.
Amount of the compound required
to attain good control ranges from

lons of water. Aphids are controlled
with one quart while two quarts are
needed to kill bud moths, case-bear

Research workers are conducting
extensive tests to find other Insects
and diseases that may be controlled
with the chemical, which was devel
oped by Dow Chemical company.
Packaging of Poultry
Is New Development
Farmers of tomorrow must be
poultry merchandisers as well as
producers if they are to compete suc
cessfully with the new “broiler fac
tories.” Progressive poultry raisers
must keep attuned to the times if
they are to meet the challenge of
new developments in the industry.
Within a short time the consumer
will have a wide range of selection
for poultry and meat products. This
will necessitate better merchandis
ing on the part of the individual
poultryman.
One of the principal means of
meeting this challenge is for the
poultry raiser to start selling chick
ens under brand names in an effort
to promote his product for the time
when consumers again will be
“choosy.”
To accomplish this, good packag
ing is essential. Modern transparent
Good packaging, as demon
strated by this cellophane-wrapped
:hicken, is good advertising,
packaging of ready-to-eat poultry
will increase sales and profits.
Tests conducted with the same
grade of poultry, half being sealed
in flexible packages, the others with
out covering, proved that demand
for the packaged birds was one to
three times as large as for the un
wrapped ones.
For packaging, cellophane, trans
parent regenerated cellulose film or a
rubber hydrochloride film are avail
able. They are moisture-proof, air
proof, strong, flexible and resistant
to liquid and grease.

LYNN SAYS: f
Make Piecrust
Perfect Always
Don’t roll the pastry too much or it
will be tough. And avoid extra
amounts of flour.
Never stretch the pastry to fit the
tin or it will shrink. Fit loosely to
avoid shrinkage.
To prevent a soggy crust in berry
and fruit pies, place in a hot oven on
the lower shelf to set the crust and
bake it before it becomes soaked
with the filling.
Measure shortening' accurately.
The water displacement method is
good. For every cup of flour, 1/3 cup
of shortening is required. Place 2/3
cup of water in the cup and add
shortening until the water reaches
the top. Saves a dirty cup, too.
Never over-mix the flour and
shortening. It’s best to use scissors
or a pastry blender to prevent heat
ing the fat with warm fingers. Leave
some of the fat in large sized pieces
so these streak through the crust |
and give you the desired flakiness. |

Bacteriological Warfare
Termed Threat to Future
A greater threat to the future is
posed by bacteriological warfare
than by atomic warfare, according
to Dr. Frank Holtman, head of Uni
versity of Tennessee bacteriological
department.
While an atomic bombing might
kill and maim a goodly portion of
the population in a city of 150,000,
as well as destroy the major portion
of the city itself,” said Holtman,
bacteriological warfare might very
easily wipe out the entire population
within a week.
“Such warfare would leave build
ings intact, making that one pri
mary reason the enemy would use
such a weapon. Then Industries,
buildings, mflitary installations and
supplies would be almost im
mediately available for enemy use.
“It used to be said that bacterio
logical warfare was too risky for
a nation to use because It was un
controllable but that is no longer the
case. More Is being learned all the
time about the control of this wea
pon. In considering reports that
Russia is well prepared in bac
teriological warfare, I don’t think
we need take a back seat However,
the developments we have are
definitely military secrets and can
not be divulged.”
Cattle Grubs May Attack
Horses, Veterinarian Finds
The heel fly or grub usually is
considered only as a parasite of
cattle, but new veterinary reports
show that this trouble-maker also
may infest horses.
Heel flies unable to find a cow
sometimes will deposit their eggs on
a horse. These eggs, usually laid
in the hairs just above the hoof,
hatch into larvae within a few days,
bore into the skin and months later
they emerge as grubs by way of the
horse’s back, just as they do in cat
tle. Horses so affected cannot be
ridden, as pressure from the saddle
crushes the grubs and causes se
vere Inflammation.
"Parasitism of horses by cattle
grubs is not common and probably
is accidental” states a bulletin is
sued by veterinary authorities, “but
it is nevertheless a threat that
should be recognized by horse own
ers.”
Grubs found emerging from the
skin should be removed, preferably
by using a suction cup. Grubs also
may be removed by gentle pressure,
but care must be taken not to crush
them.
Elimination of grubs in cattle by
spraying them with rotenone prep
arations also serves to prevent the
spread of these parasites to horses.
Helicopter for Fanners
Agricultural use of the helicopter
is gaining from year to year. Since
delivery of the first duster. May 8,
1947, to the National Cranberry
association, tens of thousands of
acres of field crops and orchards
have been dusted and sprayed by
more than 30 customer-operated,
commercially licensed helicopters
during more than 2,100 hours of
flight. It was not until 1939 that
America’s first practicable heli
copter made its initial flight. Dur
ing the summer of 1946 a helicopter
was shipped to Washington where,
during a three-month period, it
dusted 10 different crops, ranging
from apples to hops.
