THE NEWBERRY SUN. NEWBERRY. S. C. WEEKLY NEWS ANALYSIS Truman’s ‘Non-Political’ Tour Breaks Precedents, Hits Snags; Senate Fights to Recover Aid Slash By Bill Schoentgen, WNU Staff Writer (EDITOR'S NOTE: When opinion* are expressed in these columns, they are those of Western Newspaper Union's news analysts and not necessarily of this newspaper.) ODDS ON SECURITY . . . Seeking to end what he termed a "des perate gamble” with the nation’s security. Sen. Chan Gnrney (Rep., S. D.) (left) opened senate debate on the measure to draft youths aged 19 through 25. Chairman of the senate armed services committee, Gurney here is discussing the draft bill with Senators Leverett Sai- tonstall (Rep., Mass.) and Richard B. Russell (Dem., Ga.). NON-POLITICAL: Trumarfs Tour President Truman's “non-politi cal” swing through the West could be described as non-political only in the sense that Mr. Truman, as a candidate for Democratic re nomination, had jettisoned many of the rules of standard party poli tics. It was a lone wolf fight he was waging—going over the heads of party leaders to talk directly to the people. And most of what he had 'to say to the people concerned the Republican congress and what he ^termed its inaction. In Chicago, speaking before the Swedish Pioneer Centennial asso ciation, he hammered out a plat form upon which he can be expect ed to base his chances for re nomination. It was a platform for "more and better democracy.” From Chicago the President, with his entourage, headed for the heart of the farm belt, Omaha, Neb., and it was there that he was set sharp ly back on his heels. He continued his lambasting of the Republican congress—this time concentrating on GOP farm policies —in a speech at the Ak-Sar-Ben coliseum in Omaha. Fantastically, in the coliseum which has a ca pacity of 10,000, fewer than 2,000 persons were present to hear Mr. Truman talk. This phenomenon was variously Interpreted. Some said the Presi dent's box office appeal had wilted. Others claimed the Nebraska Demo cratic machine had done a miser ably inadequate Job in promoting his appearance. Probably closer to the truth was the plain fact that the “non-po litical” label of the presidential trip had backfired seriously. He made a political speech and had expected to get a crowd of friendly Demo crats to fill the hall for the occa sion. But the White House previously had told the Democratic organiza tion in Omaha to lay off the po litical hoop-la, and the organization acted in compliance with those in structions. Payoff came when no body else showed up to fill the ach ing void which the Democrats cre ated by staying away. It was an unpleasant blow for the campaigning Mr. Truman and one that might produce grave po litical repercussions. But the President was resilient. And in a more or less happy frame of mind he left Omaha on his train and rode away into the setting sun in search of happier hunting grounds. AID SLASH: *Less Recovery’? Sen. Arthur Vandenberg was fighting mad at what the house of representatives had done to his po litical baby, the world recovery pro gram, by slashing nearly a million ■dollars from the appropriations for the Europe-Asia aid bill. On the Republican foreign policy leader from Michigan rested the ad ministration’s hope of reclaiming the appropriations cut in senate ac tion on the measure. Certainly, Vandenberg has a more than usual affinity for global aid program since it was he who labored to steer the Marshall plan to congressional approval last April. What the house had done was to approve a total foreign aid expen diture of $5,980,710,228 to be spread Biggest Eye Scientists and astronomers are tugging at the leash in anticipation of the secrets of the universe which the newly dedicated 200-inch tele scope atop Mount Palomar, Calif- will reveal to them. The telescope’s enormous mirror —almost 17 feet across—will permit penetration twice as far into space as has previously been possible and may solve the ancient problem about life on Mars. out over a period of 15 months. The administration had asked $6,- 533,710,228 as the minimum fund needed for a 12-month period. Secretary of State George Mar shall, fighting hard against the cut, had asserted that the smaller ap propriation would mean putting Eu rope on a relief dole, rather than helping it to its feet But Rep. John Taber (Rep., N. Y.), chairman of the house appropria tions committee, went right ahead and swung the ax. He said the funds his committee proposed were all that could be spent with any degree of prudence. Paul G. Hoffman, head of the Eu ropean recovery program, said he "certainly hoped” congress would restore the cuts. ERP was hardest hit in the fund cut. Whereas congress previously had authorized up to 4.245 billion dollars in 12 months for that 16- nation recovery project, the appro priations bill as passed by the house knocked that figure down to 4 bil lion dollars for 15 months. Other reductions: Assistance to Greece and Turkey was cut from 275 million to 200 million dollars and aid to China cut from 463 million to 400 million. DRAFT: Debatable In the waning days before ad journment of congress the stnate had buckled down to the task of producing action on a limitec. re vival of the military draft. The house was waiting only for the senate to dispose of the ques tion before its members waded into the tricky currents of a similar measure. Legislators in both houses were treading gingerly about on the issue, throbbing with the knowledge that this is an election year and further more there are any number of American parents ready to offer material objections at the ballot box if their boys are called up for mili tary service. In the face of all this the senate, nevertheless, was trying to do some kind of 'a job. Its measure pro vided for the drafting of men 19 through 25 in sufficient numbers to bring the armed services up to their authorized strength. The bill would permit 18-year-olds to volunteer for a year’s training, thus disposing cf a universal military training act for the present. Among the side issues that arose during the senate debate was the old bugaboo of civil rights. After an abortive two-hour filibuster by southern Democrats, the senate voted 37 to 35 to outlaw the poll tax as a requirement for voting in federal elections so far as members of the armed forces are concerned. Actually, it was a minor issue, in asmuch as most of the seven southern poll tax states still have in effect wartime suspensions of the tax for members of the armed services. Under the senate measure the diaft would be authorized for five years, but the program is left flexi ble enough so congress each year could raise or lower both the regu lar and reserve forces to meet shifting world conditions. Drafted men, after completing two years of service, would have to serve in the reserve for five years or, as a matter of choice, volunteer for an additional year in the regular services or two years in the national guard. LATEST: In Bombers Army air force is developing an other new long range jet bomber which will use propellers driven by jet turbines. It is called the XB- 52. The experimental plane repre sents another effort by designers to overcome the high fuel consump tion and resulting limited range of jet bombers but still retain the jet’s high speed. Jet-driven propellers may provide a partial answer. MINE TALKS: More Snags As usual John L. Lewis was min ing the channels of possible agree ment in the latest series of con tract discussions between him and representatives of the soft coal mine operators. The explosive the UMW chief planted this time was a demand that the operators first guarantee wel fare aid for distressed miners be fore they can expect his union to sign a new contract. Thus, the “Lewis situation” in the United States was being brought to the fore again. Already the possessor of enough government injunctions to paper the den of his Springfield, 111., home, Lewis received another one before he would consent to bargain with the operators on a new 1948-49 con tract (The old contract expires June 30.) U. S. District Judge T. Alan Goldsborough issued the latest in junction ordering Lewis to bargain with the Southern Coal Producers association. The' mine chief pre viously had refused to bargain with the association because the 14 mem ber groups were being represented at the contract talks by just one man. , However, Lewis bowed to the in junction and agreed to talk. In the course of this talk one of the first things he did was to call the mine operators “fat cats” and then wave an arrogant club at them with these words: "We assume that you would d*- plore any impairment of your ab normal income after July 1. Such an assumption would seem to be a logical predicate for the making of a new wage agreement before that date.” Briefly, it looked as though Lewis was determined to strike again. De prived of one snag, he ianmediately grasped another. As a result the first round of contract talks was fruitless. Transition Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower, in the manner of all old warriors, probably will remain a soldier at heart till the end of his days, de spite the fact that he has discard ed his military trappings for the cap and gown of an educator. Ike has settled down as president of Columbia university, and that’s the only kind of president he wants to be. he says. GERMANY: New Plan Pivotal point of a healthy and prosperous Europe, Germany long has been under scrutiny by the Al lied powers who have been search ing for a way to return it to the world family of nations without starting another squabble. Zonal partition of Germany per haps has been the biggest hind rance to the formulation of such a plan, and Russia consistently has objected to re-establishing an auton omous German government. Now, however, a new plan was afoot. The U. S. and five other friendly powers — Britain, France, Belgium, Luxembourg and The Netherlands — revealed a scheme for self-government in western Ger many. At the same time notice was served on Russia that occupation troops will remain there “until the peace of Europe is secured.” The plan calls for international control of the Ruhr and for steps toward convening a German con stituent assembly in the three west ern zones “to prepare a constitu tion for approval of the participat ing states." That was the skeleton of a pro gram which might put Germany back on its feet. Reaction in the U. S. was favor able. The state department hailed it as a major step toward recovery in Europe, and it also was regard ed as a body blow to Russia in the cold war. But. although the plan asserted with some vehemence that “Ger many must not again be permitted to become an aggressive power,” there was some worry as to whether France would approve it. Does the decision to go ahead with the political rehabilitation of western Germany to the exclusion of Russia’s eastern zone mean that the defeated nation is finally and irrevocably split? U. S. officials don’t think so. The theory is that although it was Rus sia itself which forced the western powers to act without Russia, the new program does not preclude the participation of the rest of Germany in the new self-governing federation If knd when the people of the Sov iet zone want in. Furacin Is Effective In Coccidibsis Control New Chemical Proves Valuable to Poultrymen Animal health, already in debt to human medicine for some effective help, now must acknowledge further aid from the sarhe source. The thing for which acknowledgement is due is a drug called furacin. Natural source of this drug Is oat hulls, corncobs, bran and similar farm wastes. It is one of the fur fural series of chemicals, some of which are used in trades and indus try. In the very first trial with cocci- diosis of chickens, furacin demon strated that it was equal to the well- known sulfa drugs in stopping losses. Further research proved that the drug is generally less toxic to chickens than the sulfa drugs, and that the growth of treated chickens is not retarded as much as in the case of those which have been treated with sulfa. This chemical is as yet available only in small quantities, and still is high in price. Even so, the amount required to be effective against coc- cidiosis is so small that the cost of treatment is less than with the sulfa drugs. Before long, products con taining this new chemical will be available to poultry raisers on a less limited scale. DDT Emulsion Controls Flies in Poultry House Spraying a 1 per cent DDT emul sion on poultry manure two days before the manure was removed from the dropping boards, which were cleaned once a week, gave 100 per cent fly control at the Hawaii agricultural experiment sta tion. The emulsion was applied at the rate of one pint per 30 square feet of area. -The addition of lime twice a week to the manure before use of the DDT treatment reduced odor and mois ture and reduced the number of flies, but apparently decreased DDT efficiency in the opinion of poultry specialists. All-Time Champion Above is Bess Skylark Orms- by Dora, 2388170, new all-time champion junior four-year-old Hol stein for the United States, being milked three times daily. With her, on the last day of her record- smashing 365-day period, are left to right, three generations of her owners, G. F. Walters, Waterloo, Iowa; his son, Harold Walters, and his grandson, Robert Walters. 2,4-D Formulas Classed In Three Major Forms Since 2,4-D itself is insoluble In water, it is made soluble by treating it with other chemicals. This re sults in the manufacture of many formulations, all of which can be classified as ester, amine or sodium salt sprays. Ester, amine and sodium salt dusts also are manufactured. The ester and the amine sprays are pro duced in liquid form, the sodium salt spray as a powder and the others as dusts. The 2,4-D chemical is used exten sively as a weed killer. Zinc Coating Provides Protection Firom Rust Ten year tests at Indiana indicate that wire having less than a half ounce of zinc coating for each square foot of wire surface had 100 per cent of the surface rusted during the period. Samples having more than one ounce of zinc coating show ed no rusting. Stainless steel and copper clad samples showed no rust ing. Lead clad samples showed a third of the area discolored.

Released by WNU Features LYNN SAYS: Are You Putting Salads Over With Success? Most people will eat salads when they are properly prepared. Check over these tips to improve your salad making. Some fish, fruit and vegetables are marinated, that is soaked in dressing, before mixing with other ingredients and serving to increase their tang and flavor. When mar inating is called for in a recipe, let them marinate for an hour or so. Plan to have all ingredients in the refrigerator a minimum of two hours before making the salad. A good way is to wash fruit, vege tables and lettuce when you buy or bring them in from the garden. Then they will be ready for use at any time. The bowl and plates on which a salad is served also should be well chilled to increase palatability. Salad dressing is tossed into a salad just before serving so the in gredients will remain crisp. Gopher Snake Halts Traffic At Hollywood Intersection HOLLYWOOD, CALIF.—A gopher snake held up traffic at a busy in tersection here. A police officer found that some motorists were snaking it around left end, avoiding the car* that were blockaded by the squeamish drivers who waited for the snake to cross the thoroughfare. “We’ve got to curb this sort of thing,” Officer E. W. Christensen said, as he swept the snake toward the curb. Spinster Names Nine Cats Beneficiaries of $75,000 PHILADELPHIA, PA.—Nine cats that comforted an elderly spinster in the last years of her life were named beneficiaries of her trust fund estimated at $75,000. The will of Mary I. Clay, 72, ad mitted to probate, estimated her personal property at upwards of $50,000 and her real estate holdings at more than $20,000. The will provided for hiring a caretaker to “assume full charge of my pets, and the caretaker shall purchase'fresh chopped beef, lamb for stewing, canned salmon, milk and bread at cost of at least $5 a week.” The trust fund Is to continue In effect for 20 years after which it will be divided equally among three Odd Fellows lodges. Stone Cutter Cleaves Large Star Sapphire Worth $300,000 LOS ANGELES.—Hie story of the cutting of the world’s largest star sapphire, valued at $300,000, was disclosed by the man who per formed the delicate task. Known as the Black Star of Queensland, the giant gem originally weighed 1,156 carats but now is 733 carats in its finished state. It is larger by 170 carats than the previous record holder, the 563- carat Star of India in the J. P. Mor gan collection in the American museum of natural history. “I could have ruined it a hundred times during the cutting,” said Harry Kazanjian as he told how he and his brother, James,' polished the stone. They first heard of it when it was uncovered in a river bed in Queens land, Australia, in a mine in which the Kazanjians have an interest Kazanjian made elaborate draw ings before he began the polishing process. The task was to bring out the six-pointed star of the stone in the exact center. A special set of cutting and polishing tools was used in the painstaking work, which con tinued for days. The stone was cut here and shown in New York. The Kazanjians said the gem is not for sale. CLASSIFIED DEPARTMENT PERSONAL Asthma Permanent Relief Cause known and can be removed.

America’s First ApartmenU The famous cliff dwellings of Mesa Verde national park, Colo.,, represent America’s first apart ment houses, having been built 'fce- tweerf 1230 and 1274. Hundreds of years ago the Indians had to aban don the cliff dwellings when a great drouth struck. The Ute legend is that once the cliff dwellers were animals, living inside the earth. They climbed to the upper world on a giant corn stalk made to grow by the Life Force and the Rain. Up on reaching the surface they as sumed the form of human beings; afterwards they celebrated their deliverance in underground kivas, clothing themselves in skins to re semble their ancestors. When the Indians started building their dwellings above ground, the legend goes, the gods were displeased, withheld the rain and brought on the drouth. Woman Wins Prizes As Spare Time Hobby SPRINGFIELD, ILL. — Some 'women knit and many collect china, [still others prefer to dig in the gar den or play bridge. But Mrs. Homer McLaren of Springfield scoms these long-popular feminine pursuits. She likes “contesting.” In four months Mrs. McLaren has reaped a washing machine, radios radio-phonograph and three $10 prizes for her entries. But then, she’s been "contesting” for 10 or 12 years. Mrs. McLaren, author of numerous magazine articles, also teaches a course in ”tricks of the contesting trades,” at the Spring- field community school for adults. She prescribes her hobby especi ally for shut-ins, hospitalized vet erans, and those who want to forget tjieir troubles. She said: “It can also keep • good many housewives from turning into neurotics and it’s a fine time- killer for commuters.” Mrs. McLaren began entering contests just as a hobby, but she told of one woman who helped sup port her mother and brother on her prizes. The winnings comrf in pretty handy, too, around Christmas time. The whole thing’s so easy, the Springfield woman doesn’t under stand why almost every housewife doesn’t take up the hobby. | She continued: “All you have to do is carry around a pad and pen cil while you do your work. If an Idea strikes you, jot It down.” Mrs. McLaren adds that the idea seems to have caught on among a widen-' ing number of the public. Publica tions are sold listing current con tests and supplying information on; how to become a “winner,” and ! contest clubs have even been formed through the country.
