Pressure‘Out’ in Berlin Controversy;
British Welcome Lilibet’s Princeling;
Farmer Priority Looms in Legislation
-By Bill Schoentgea, WNU Staff Writer-
(EDITOR S NOTE
Western Newspaper Union’s news analyst
When opinions are expressed in these columns, they are those of
--’-itB and not necessarily of this newspaper.!
PRESSURE:
Polite ‘NO’
Sore point in all the Berlin con
troversy continued to be the Soviet
blockade ot the ex-Reich capitaL
The Big Three Western powers still
blamed Russia lor continuation ol
the crisis through perpetuating the
blockade, and President Harry Tru
man had given emphatic evidence
that he planned no further discus
sions with Russia on the subject
until the blockade was lifted.
Following his return from a Flori-
d< vacation, the President went into
a full-dress review of American
foreign policy with Secretary of
State Marshall and W. Averell Har-
riman, U. S. ambassador-at-large
in Europe.
The gravity with which United
Nations leaders viewed the Berlin
situation was evidenced in the ef
forts of U. N. Secretary General
Trygve Lie, and H. V. Evatt, gen
eral assembly president.
THESE TWO made urgent ap
peal to chief executives of the four
big powers—going over the heads of
these nations’ U. N. delegations to
do so—to bring the Berlin dispute to
an end and thus bring about world
peace.
This appeal was without avail.
The United States, France and Eng
land said "no,” politely but firmly.
They declared the issue must re
main in the hands of the U. N. se
curity council until the Russian
blockade is lifted. Russia reacted as
usual, blaming the Western powers
for the stalemate.
Evatt and Lie argued that the dis
pute cannot be settled within the
cramped confines of the security
council and should be aired in the
wider fields of the general assem
bly.
AGGRAVATING the situation
was the coming winter with its con
sequent obstacles to the air lift.
The Russians appeared content to
wait out this phase of American aid
to Germany in the apparent convic
tion, or hope, that bad weather
would so impair air lift efficacy as
to make it negative in the battle for
Germany. _ -
If the situation were to be re
solved by diplomatic means, Amer
ican thought and procedure on the
question would carry top weight
with the Big Three.
Under this setup. President Tru
man's evident intention to spurn
discussion of the problem unless the
Berlin blockade were lifted, would
indicate the United States was pre
pared to continue the "cold war”
with the Russians, and to bet with
the elements that the air lift would
continue to be efficient and that
Premier Stalin and his Communists
would have to come to terms in the
end.
PRESIDENT TRUMAN reiterat
ed that he planned no American
mission of any sort to Moscow.'and
that he and Secretary Marshall
were in accord on all questions.
The President would stand for no
pressuring in discussion of the Ber
lin question, even if it came from
top chieftains in the U. N.
PRIORITY:
For Farmers
The man with the hoe put the “X”
where it counted November 2, and,
as a result, America’s farmers are
to reap a share of President Tru
man’s smashing victory at the polls.
Even now, administration chiefs
are moving to give the nation’s
farmers top priority over labor in
any legislative program coming up
for action by the next congress.
THE FARMER’S reward is to
come immediately—not in the fu
ture—and the outlook is that labor
may have to stand behind the farm
er when awards for a part in Pres
ident Truman’s triumph are to be
handed out in a legislative program.
Best friend of the farmers when
the plums are to be passed around
is Secretary of Agriculture Charles
Brannan. No doubter of where cred
it for Mr. Truman’s victory belongs,
Brannan already has assigned Louis
M. Bean, department economist and
election forecaster, to prepare
charts and graphs to show the Presi
dent that he owes his election pri
marily to the farmers.
THAT ISN”T all that will be done
to insure the farmers a fair return
on their investment in Mr. Truman,
for top level planners are drafting
a new “flexible” price support pro
gram to go into effect early in 1949,
instead of 1950, as would have been
the case under the Republican Aiken
farm bill.
Add to this the fact that Senator-
Elect Clinton Anderson (D., N. M.),
Day of Judgment
Missing Link?
Anthropologists appear to have
turned up another “missing link”
in the evolution of man.
The latest find, discovered in an
ancient Transvaal cave in South
Africa, may provide a clue to the
earliest known of man's ancestors.
The bones of this prehistoric crea
ture, who may have lived a million
years ago, indicate he might have
been a “man-ape” who carried
weapons and built fires.
Hldeki Tojo, former prime min
ister and top war lord of Japan,

by hanging. He is the last sur
vivor of the infamous Hitler-Mus-
solini-Tojo axis.
former agriculture secretary, took a
direct hand in supervising drafting
of the new measure and personally
will introduce it, and it becomes evi
dent the farmer’s happy place in the
administration sun is most assured.
BASIS of Brannan’s contention
that farmers elected Mr. Truman:
if it weren’t for the farm states in
the agricultural west, the 11 indus
trial states on the Atlantic seaboard
that voted for Governor Dewey
would have swung the election Re
publican.
How will farmers fare under the
administration plan? Here’s the
projected program:
To protect the farmer against an
ticipated crop price fall-offs, he
would be given a flexible price floor
that would protect growers, but
would not burden U. S. taxpayers
with an extended permanent sub
sidy of farm surpluses.
PROVIDE adequate storage facili
ties for farmers in .com and wheat
belts to prevent loss of bumper
crops.
Extend reclamation and soil con
servation benefits to more farm
lands and provide an increased rural
electrification for more farmers, this
to be sponsored and paid for by the
government.
This, then, is an extension of the
benefits which farmers may have
felt were imperiled in the Dewey
program, and for which they felt
they were voting when they cast
their ballots for President Truman.
WELCOME:
Infant Rex
For hours the solemn-faced con
stable had kept his vigil in the chill
of the November night. Impassive
in the fact of the huge throngs that
pushed against the gates he guard
ed, he waited for the word.
At last he saw a royal page,
garbed in blue, walk stiffly from a
palace doorway. The page strode to
the constable’s side, bent over and
spoke in a low voice.
THE CONSTABLE’S face lighted,
he walked quickly to the iron railing
against which the crowd was dense
ly packed and declared exultantly:
"It’s a boy!” Then throwing his
head back, he shouted: “A prince
’has been bom.”
To Princess Elizabeth, heir-appar
ent to the throne of England, and her
consort, Prince Philip, Duke of Ed
inburgh, had been bom a son. A-
prince by a special royal decree of
King George VI issued several days
before the birth of the child. Their
young prince was bom just six days
short of the royal couple’s wedding
anniversary, November 20.
THE NEWS that EUzabeth’s child
was a son told the usually stolid
Londoners what they wanted to hear
—that the royal heir was a child
who might someday be their king.
Into a world of crisis and unrest,
an age of a dwindling empire for
Britain, was bom a princeling whose
future as a potential ruler is fraught
with imponderables.
Both he and his mother would be
cut off the line of succession to the
throne should a son be bom to the
king and queen; monarchial gov
ernments, even of the benevolent
type, are fading from the world
scene; the contracting empire’s di
mensions are subject to speculation,
but even were these things non
existent, there is the last and great
est imponderable of them all—the
atomic bomb.
REFUND:
Pay Up
If you’re an ex-GI and figure to
cash in on those service insurance
dividends next year, make sure
you’re square with the Veterans’
administration or you’re likely to
get left in the cold.

part of the checks of two groups
of veterans—those who have re
ceived overpayments for education
cr training subsistence and those
who have defaulted on GI loans.
? Current Events ?
You probably will recall that the
V. S. had a presidential election
(sounds of screaming) a few weeks
ago. It was the biggest upset since
Mrs. O’Leary’s cow kicked over the
lantern in Chicago, and it will take
its place as one of the most unusual
in a long line of distinguished
American elections The subject
merits a few questions which merit
a few answers. Do you know them?
1. Mr. Truman is the first na
tive of Missouri to be elected
President. In what two states
were the largest number of
Presidents born?
2. In this election four south
ern states voted against the regu
lar Democratic party. How many
southern states deserted the par
ty in 1928?
3. Seven vice-presidents have
succeeded to the presidency on
the death of the chief executive.
How many of these, besides Mr.
Truman, were elected to a. full
term as President in their own
right?
4. When does the President’s
term of office begin? And when
do those of senators and repre
sentatives?
5. There are nine men in Mr.
Truman’s cabinet. Other Presi
dents elected recently have had
10-member cabinets. Why the
difference?
ANSWERS
1. Virginia—eight (Washington, Jet-
ferson, Madison, Monroe, William
Henry Harrison, Tyler, Wilson); Ohio
—seven (Grant, Hayes, Garfield, Ben
iamin Harrison. McKinley, Taft, Hard-
2. Five. Texas, Virginia, Florida,
North Carolina and Tennessee voted
Republican.
3. Two. Theodore Roosevelt and Cal
vin Coolidge.
4. President’s term begins January
20, those of senators and representa
tives on January 3.
5. Under the armed forces unifica
tion act of 1947 the cabinet positions
of secretary of the navy and secretary
of war were eliminated and Just one
office — secretary of defense — was
added. •
MILLENNIUM:
Very Unfunny
When a radio comedian backs off
from laughs, the event rates in news
value with the man-bites-dog item.
But there’s method—about $16,000
worth weekly—in Arthur Godfrey’s
madness. Godfrey is the guy who
has ordered his musicians not to
laugh at any of his jokes.
THE RED-HEADED radio comic
explains wistfully that his musi
cians used to laugh at his jokes,
sing with him and “have all kinds
of fun.” But that’s all over now,
Godfrey says.
He adds that union rules provide
that if his musicians laugh at his
jokes, or join him in songs, they
will come under an additional union,
the American Federation of Radio
Artists. And that, says Godfrey,
would mean an extra cost of $800 to
$900 a week for each musician.
His men would sing choruses and
they’d kid each other, the comedian
says, but now “if they open their
mouths to sing they come under
AFRA’s jurisdiction. That adds
the extra salary.”
No Hairshirt Here
A picture of carefree content
ment, President Truman accou
tered himself in casual shirt while
tripping lightly through his post
election vacation at Key West,
Fla. He whiled away the drowsy
hours by formulating the broad
outlines of his administrative pol
icy for the next four years, and
paused for a ritbment to turn
down a proposal for another Big
Four conference at this time.
NEW LIGHT:
From Isaiah
New light and interpretation may
be thrown on the Old Testament by
discovery of the complete scroll of
the Prophet Isaiah. All 66 chapters
of the book, with only a few portions
missing, have been found.
One of the most dramatic Biblical
discoveries of all time, the scroll
was brought to light recently when
four of the oldest Hebrew manu
scripts thus far known were found
in a cave near the northern end of
the Dead Sea.
Scholars date the Isaiah scroll as
early Maccabean, or second cen-
tury B. C., which would make it
the oldest Biblical document yet to
be discovered intact.
THE DISCOVERY of a complete
Isaiah scroll, dating back a thou
sand years before the oldest one
known, promises scholars an oppor
tunity to seek new meaning from
the Bible, and to determine by com
parison the extent that errors may
have found their way into Biblical
manuscripts with the passage of
time.
Bible scholars point out that the
Book of Isaiah, like all of the Bible,
came down to us as the result of
many copyings by scribes who
would make additional scrolls as
the old ones wore out.
Cereal Makers
Offer Premiums
To Boost Sales I STiTOE^SCREENift^lO
NEW YORK.—Getting the small
fry to eat more cereal once was
strictly a parent’s chore.
Today it’s a multi-million-dollar
business.
Junior’s stake in the project goes
far beyond mere nourishment. For
nim, the rewards are premiums that
reflect his up to the minute inter
ests in the atomic age: “Atom
bomb” rings, jet plane models,
pilot’s goggles. All he needs are a
few box tops and an occasional
dime or quarter.
At the same time, the project
means fat contracts for advertising
men and novelty makers; work for
radio actors and comic strip artists;
endorsement payments for sports
stars.
And for the people who make the
ready to eat cereals, of course, the
reward is sales—an estimated 175
million dollars worth annually.
The breakfast food industry has
been using premiums for more than
a quarter of a century. In the early
days, the lures were mostly small
pictures of birds or movie favorites.
Now they reflect the changing
times.
Many Different Premiums
The energetic young cereal eater
And box top collector of recent
months could, with his prizes, fin
gerprint the whole neighborhood,
develop his own snapshots, perform
feats of magic, or set up complete
circuses or frontier villages of card
board.
He could adorn himself with
aviators’ helmets, beanie caps, cow
boy spurs, badges, bracelets and
any number of assorted rings.
One of the rings offered was
called a "pirate’s gold detector."
Another could be used for signaling
at night. An “explorer’s ring” con
tained a compass and sun dial
under a plastic dome and was
identical in principle to the time
pieces carried by military men dur
ing the American revolution.
There were pedometers to tell the
kids how far they walk in a day; a
putt-putt noise attachment f<5r bi
cycles; comic books, binoculars,
sports pamphlets, money belts.
And, of course, the perennial fa
vorites: Bird pictures again, pho
tos of celebrities and fals“ face cut
outs.
Repeat Popular Items
As one premium specialist put it:
“Every other year or so, when the
new crop of youngsters comes
along, we can repeat many of these
things again, generation after gen
eration, as'sure as tjie kites and
skipping ropes that blossom in the
spring.”
So far, however, the No. 1 head
liner for the kids was that atom
bomb ring. When you put your eye
close to the plastic bomb, you could
see a radiant substance inside that
sparkled as if alive.. More than
three million children sent 15 cents
and a box top for that one.
Premium giving is as old as his
tory, Frank Waggoner, a New York
trade publication editor who has
written college textbooks on the
subject, says one of the earliest
premiums on record wq£ a medal
given to natives of Pompeii who at
tended the baths. That would be
about the middle of the first century

Herring Catches for Europe
BLOCK ISLAND, R. I.—The fish
in Block Island sound are feeling
the effects of the European Recov
ery plan.
Millions of herring — left undis
turbed in the past for lack of a
market — are being caught to feed
the hungry abroad. Huge trailers
are carrying the silvery, foot-long
fish to canning factories on the
eastern shore of Maryland and to
Maine.
Carl Johnson, veteran fishing cap
tain, explained they had been in the
sound for years. “But,” he said,
“this is the first year we’ve han
dled them. The large majority are
canned for the new type of lend-
lease for Europe. We’re trying to
knock a couple of billion dollars off
the Marshall plan figures.”
More than 3V4 million pounds of
herring have been caught since the
run started. Large balloon nets
dragged along the shore bottom are
used to snare them. The best place
to find the herring is from three to
nine miles out.
The herring found the sound a
good place to escape whales.
