THE NEWBERRY SUN. NEWBERRY. S. C. WEEKLY NEWS ANALYSIS Russ Reject U. N. Berlin Proposal; Stalin Hits Three Western Powers As Attempting to Start a New War -By Bill Schoemgen, WNU Staff Writer- R :. S NOTE: When opinions nre expressed In these eelnmns, they are those e# Western Newspaper Union’s news analysis and not necessarily of this newspaper*) DIFFERENT COAL STRIKE . . . French troops in battle array march Into the Villiers mine in the St. Etienne area of France as the govern ment seized strike-bound coal mines throughout northern France. Vicious rioting and assorted civil battles preceded the government’s action in taking over the mines. REJECTION: V. N. Proposal Russia wouldn’t play ball with the United Nations on the settle ment of the Berlin dispute. A six-power “face-saving” reso lution for solving the crisis was presented to the U. N. security council and promptly batted down by the Soviets—to the surprise of no one concerned. THE RESOLUTION proposed that Russia lift the Berlin block ade immediately; that the four military governors of Germany begin immediate'' negotiations to implement the Moscow agreement of August 30 for a Soviet-Backed, four-power controlled mark in Ber lin by November 20, end that a foreign ministers’ council be con vened within 10 days thereafter to take up other serious differences over Germany. Russia’s stated objection to the resolution was that it provided for the lifting of the blockade before the currency control went into effect. Previously, the western powers had turned down Andrei Vishin- sky’s counter proposal for simul taneous lifting of the blockade and putting into effect the currency agreement. IN REALITY, this point of dif ference upon which the latest deadlock centered was a minor one, but it served to illustrate the vast gap that must be closed be fore a meeting of minds between the East and West can be achieved. MOREOVER, it has become in creasingly clear that Moscow does not even have any desire to lift the blockade. It is, for them, too good a weapon with which to at tempt to bludgeon the U. S. and the West into granting them fur ther concessions in Germany, in cluding a voice in the operation of the all-valuable Ruhr industrial area. STALIN TALKS: ‘Horrors’ In what is probably the most amazing outburst he has made since the war, Soviet Premier Josef Stalin told the world that the U. S., Great Britain and France are seeking a new war through a “policy of aggression." The accusation, despite the high livel of its source, amounted to nothing more than a repetition of the already stereotyped Russian practice of attempting to turn an opponent’s reasoning back on him. HOWEVER, he added, the “pub lic forces favoring peace” are too strong to permit “the instigators of a new war” to plunge the world again into the “horrors” of con flict. Stalin named Winston Churchill as “the main instigator of a new war” and predicted that Church ill’s “pupils of aggression” would be rejected by the people just as Churchill has been. Although he did not label Presi dent Truman or any other leader as a “pupil in aggression,” the implication was too clear to be mistaken, particularly since the Moscow radio had broadcast a pre diction that Mr. Truman would be defeated on November 2. STALIN accused the U. S. and Britain of twice rejecting settle ments of the Berlin crisis with Russia and said that debate on the Berlin question in the U. N. security council “was a display of aggression on the part of Anglo- American and French ruling cir cles.’’ The British and Americans, the Soviet premier said, declared "null and void” an agreement reached in the Kremlin confer ences August 30 that would have Old-Fashioned, but. .. Toothaches are old-fashioned. That is the opinion of Dr. John C. Brauer of the University of Wash ington school of dentistry, a lead ing authority on children’s den tistry and care of the teeth. Dr. Brauer said few children would experience dental pain dur ing their lives if they practiced preventive measures now known to dental science. Most older peo ple are doomed because of their past habits. lifted the Soviet blockade and ended the crisis. HE CHARGED that the western powers fear “most of all” to reach any agreement with the Soviet Union. “What they want is not agree ment and cooperation, but talk about agreement and coopera tion, so as to put the blame on the U. S. S. R. by preventing agree ment, and to ‘prove’ that coopera tion is impossible.” Stalin’s statement obviously was Issued as a high-powered propa ganda stroke—a move the Rus sians undoubtedly hoped would tip the Berlin scales in their favor. Headliners IN YORK, Pa. . . . Mrs. Walter Sechrist made a wide-eyed an nouncement that her gas range picks up short wave transmissions made by her next-door neighbor, an amateur radio operator, vowed it had broadcast a conversation be tween the neighbor and another op erator in South America. IN SALEM, Mass. . . . Robert C. Carter claimed in a divorce suit that his wife had deserted him a block from the church just two minutes after they were married in 1944. IN HAGERSTOWN, Mo.... Thieves broke into the Potomac Edison building, got away with a specially equipped camera set up to take pictures of thieves breaking into the Potomac Edison building. IN LITTLE BRICKHILL, Eng. . . . Postmaster N. C. Parrott looked down his nose at the man with the gun trying to rob him of his postal receipts, sneered, “The revolver is not loaded, you know.” “Sorry,” said the crushed desperado, slink ing away. IN DURAND, Wis. . . . Frank Weimirski was forced to reassure his customers as to the fact that he still was in the popcorn and soft drink business after he began mak ing deliveries with an old hearse. BLUFFING: In Berlin Gen. H. H. Arnold, wartime com mander-in-chief of the U. S. air forces, turned up in the news with a military man’s hearty opinion about what to do with the Russians in Berlin. “WHY NOT take a motor convoy and push it through the corridor to Berlin?” he suggested. “Perhaps we might have learned something from Gen. George Patton’s tech nique. If Patton were running the show he would take it through.” Russia, he claimed, is attempt ing a tremendous bluff against the U. S. and the western allies, but is “not ready to fight, doesn’t want to fight and won’t fight” if some one should call her bluff. WHAT would the Russians do if an armed convoy did plow through the blockade? “Not much, if any thing,” was Arnold’s laconic esti mate. “It would be a grave and basic error to let the Communists bluff us out in the present deadlock in Germany. “ hey are not ready to fight and they do not want to fight. We should curb the national tendency to be in awe of the Russians, an awe amounting almost to fear. “TIME plays with the Russians. We have the superior power now. They* may have it later. Meantime, it would be folly to let them bridge the gap by bluff alone.” Whether he was right or wrong. Hap Arnold at least had done the worrying U. S. public one favor: By reducing the problem to hard, simple terms of pure action and divorcing it from the intricate realm of diplomacy he made it ap pear more understandable, less overwhelming and less frighten ing. General Arnold, at least, isn’t expecting a war tomorrow. TREATY: On the Way? In view of the existing physical and ideological rift which has di vided the world into two opposing battalions, it has come to seem almost inevitable that the western bloc sooner or later would devise some kind of formal military treaty for the mutual protection of the nations concerned. AND A few days before the elec tion word began to creep out from among “high American souredb" that a military treaty was on the way. The report was that drafting was scheduled to begin soon of an agreement pledging full aid to the five-nation Brussels alliance of western Europe. Results of the U. S. election were in no way sup posed to affect the plan, since both major parties had committed themselves in principle to backing the Brussels alliance. SUCH AN alliance supposedly will link the United States and Canada in formal treaty relation ships with Britain, France, Bel gium, Holland and Luxembourg. From a behind-the-scenes stand point, this will not be a new move. It is highly probable, indeed, that the broad outlines of a north At lantic pact—with some details sketched in—has been in existence for some time. The alliance is expected to com mit the U. S. and Canada to: 1. BUILD up air, land and sea forces of the Brussels powers. 2. STANDARDIZE equipment and training. 3. CREATE a seven-nation uni fied military strategic command under an American commander-in- chief. 4. PLEDGE a guarantee of each nation’s territorial integrity in case of war. 5. GIVE the North American powers the right to establish air, land or sea bases in any of the five other countries. U. S. officials expect that tha treaty will be ready for ratifica tion by the middle of 1949, barring extraordinary events. How con- • gress will react to such ~a treaty is, for the time being, a debatable question. SHIPBUILDING: /Vauy Expands Increasing importance in the minds of U. S. defense chiefs of underwater and air warfare, in cluding consideration of possible attacks across the Arctic, was re vealed in a statement outlining the navy’s post-war shipbuilding program. Vice Adm. Earle M. Mills, chief of the bureau of ships, listed the development of advanced proto types in four major fields as the aim of the Building and conversion plan: “FIRST, aircraft carriers cap able of handling the fast, heavy long-range naval planes developed and .under development since the war; second, high-speed, deep- submergence submarines; third, anti-submarine vessels to combat these submarines; fourth, ships equipped for Polar and picket service.” • Battleships were not mentioned in the statement, nor was there any direct reference to preparations against air attack over the roof of the globe, but the program’s em phasis on polar ships was consid ered self-explanatory. IN THIS phase of the program, two destroyer escorts and two sub marines will be specially fitted for off-shore aircraft detection. One cargo ship and two floating dry- docks for landing ships will be con verted for service in polar waters. The aircraft carrier part of the program includes the construction, to begin late this year or early in 1949, of the yet-unnamed super- carrier of 85,000 tons, designate!) as the CVA-58. Conspicuous First One of the minor sidelights of the late, great election was provided by Mrs. Fannie Rock well of Danbury, Conn. She turned 104 years old on Octo ber 25 and celebrated this chronological attainment six days later, on November 2, by casting a vote for the first time In her life. RED PRICES: Going Up America doesn’t have a capital istic monopoly on inflation. Russia is getting her share of that un comfortable condition, too. Here's what happened in Russia in August: Postal and telegraph rates were boosted 33% per cent Train fares and long distance phone call rates went up in vary ing amounts. In Moscow subway fares jumped 25 per cent and streetcar fares from 50 to 100 per cent Business Principles Required on Farms Operation by Guess or *By Neighbor' Deplored Cash, credit, equipment, soil fer tility and human strength are in volved on the ledger of assets con trolled by the farmer and rancher — assets that become liabilities when management is lacking. Probably 90 per cent of the differ ence between a poor farm or ranch AGRICULTURAL INCOME IN THE U.

Good business principles lead a farmer ahead, whereas one who operates by intuition, by guess or “by neighbor” never gets ahead. Here are a few points necessary to good farm or ranch manage ment: 1 KEEP RECORDS. This as- 1 • sures factual data to use in de termining production possibilities of the farm or ranch. See that yields of crops, production of live stock, cash expenses and receipts are recorded properly. 2 WATCH MARKET TRENDS. • By consistently reading market outlooks or discussions on prices, which reflect the most probable fu ture situations, farmers and ranch ers will have a guide to use in plan ning production. Thus they will be able to have produce ready to sell at the right time to realize the high est price and still have livestock and land more fertile for the following year. 3 PLAN LABOR. Make it tie in • with seasons for care of ma chinery and equipment, time for planting, care of crops, harvesting and'marketing. 4 PLAN THE FARMSTEAD AND • FIELDS.' Make rotations easy, save labor and increase yields by adapting crops to land. Study in Contrasts Long a standby of agriculture in the South, “Sally” views with in terest the “new look” in Georgia farming. Latest figures show a steady decrease in the number of mules used for farm power in this state. Replacing them are jeeps, representing another step forward in farm mechanization. Equipped with hydraulic lifts and numerous other special implements and at tachments, jeeps have speeded up farm operations and eased the work burden for both farmer and mule. Mysterious 'X Disease' Termed Serious Threat “Hyperkeratosis” is the jaw breaking name of a baffling cattle disease now causing trouble on thousands of farms, particularly in southeastern states. Known also by the simpler terms of “X disease” and "double X dis ease,” the new malady has caused serious loss in at least 26 states and poses a serious threat to output of meat, milk and other animal prod ucts. f One symptom of the disease is a marked thickening of the skin. So far, efforts to transmit it and to treat it with drugs have been un successful. Agriculture department scientists are cooperating with specialists of several southeastern states in an intensive study of the disease. \ Portable Elevator Saves Labor and Time on Farm Easily constructed on the farm and powered with a fractional horse power motor, the portable elevator- conveyor saves much back-break ing labor as well as time in the handling and storing of grains. Cost of construction is estimated at about $1 per lineal foot, com pared with $1.85 per lineal foot for ready-made equipment. Cost of op eration also is low. Plans are avail able through rural electric co-ops. Released by WNU Features. By INEZ GERHARD I ORETTA YOUNG is all in favor of Oregon as a pic ture-making background. As a rule stars dread location trips. Working outdoors day after dajr and Irving under condi tions different from those at home usually result in loss of weight, sometimes in sickness. But Loretta was on location in Oregon for six LORETTA YOUNG Weeks for RKO’s “Rachel and the Stranger,” and gained eight pounds. More than once she has dieted in the hope of gaining, but unsuccess fully. Good food, fresh air, and Oregon, that’s the recipe. * Eve Arden, star of “Our Miss Brooks,” has had successful careers in the movies, on the stage, now in radio. But she says that perfection in one medium is not much help in another. The projected perform ance of the stage would look hammy on the screen; the screen’s re strained acting would be dull on the stage. Then in radio/ you’re not seen at all! * Felix Brfessart has never played a role withont a mus tache since early in his career, when his wife threatened to leave him after he shaved his head and face, to play a grumpy old man. In "A Song Is Born” he uses what he calls his “standard’ hair brush mus tache.” “Comedy and tragedy are a hair’s breadth apart, and I use a mustache to bridge that narrow gap,” he says. It has taken Dorothy Malone near ly six years to reach the place she attained in "One Sunday After noon,” opposite Dennis Morgan. Tall, dark, beautiful, she began playing bits and posing for pub licity photos at RKO. * Reminiscing on the set for “Every Girl Should Be Married," Alan Mow bray told how he lost his money aboard ship when coming here from England, years ago. A hotel kept his luggage when he couldn’t pay his bill, so he slept under a tree in Central Park, ate rolls left on trays in the Automat and drank hot wa ter flavored with catsup, till he land, ed a job. * Francis L. Sullivan, arriving in Hollywood for his role in “Joan of Arc,” with Ingrid bergman, car ried a small, perforated box. It con tained Mrs. Sullivan’s pet turtles, brought along so that she would not get too homesick for her country place in England, where she has so many small animals and birds. The Sullivans’ turtles should meet James Mason's cats. New Film Star Jim Mitchell (“House Across the Street” and “Colorado Territory”) told Atwa ter Kent he'd like some ivy for his garden. Kent sent some 2,000 plants —Jim needed about two dozen. Any- body want some ivy? Wallace R. Magill, producer of more than 700 “Telephone Hour” programs starring mu sic’s greatest names, gets along beautifully with even the most temperamental musicians, per haps because he’s a musician himself. He’s the only person who call^Lily Pons “Didi.” It started when, after a bit of clowning, she called him “Mr. Magee.” He came back with “Didi,” his version of “diminu tive diva,” the popular label for La Pons. Lucille Ball of the movies and CBS’s “My Favorite Husband," is very proud of the cranberry glass chandlier in ^her living room. Her mother searched “all over Connec ticut” to find one, proudly sent it to the coast It got broke when it was being unpacked, whereupon the fond parent had to start searching again till she found a duplicate. * ODDS AND ENDS—October teas Baby month on "Road of Life"; Eileen Palmer ("Frances Brent") and Audrey Marsh, who sings the commercials, both had daughters. . . .

Growth ol Baby Teeth When a baby is bom his first teeth are already formed in the gums, although they usually don't begin to come through until be tween the sixth and eighth month. The diet of the mother before the baby was bom determines the health of the baby’s teeth, which begin growing five or six months before birth. The permanent teeth as well as the baby teeth begin to form be fore birth. The baby’s diet affects the condition of these second teeth. Calcium in milk and Vitamin D in fish-liver oil are essential for strong healthy teeth. You can breeze through a good part of your Christmas shopping by simplifying your gift list.
