-WEEKLY NEWS ANALYSIS-
Record Budget Given to Congress;
Acheson Confirmation Predicted;
British Say Israel Menaces Peace
Truman's Flag
PALESTINE:
Toil And Trouble
The British lion was roaring at a
gnat.
In a prepared statement, the Eng
lish government declared that Pal
estine developments are “gravely
threatening world peace.”
Coupled with the dither was a re
port that Ernest Bevin, British
foreign secretary, had offered to
resign because of his Palestine
policy and that Prime Minister
Attlee had refused to accept the
resignation.
THIS WAS instantly and emphat
ically denied.
All these developments came as
Israel formally filed with the U. N.
security council at Lake Success a
complaint that the British were fo
menting an "artificial crisis” over
Palestine by troop movements and
various actions just as negotiations
were about to open with Egypt.
The British foreign office state
ment warned that the security coun
cil has been “losing control over
events” and said it had reason to
fear new Jewish violations of the
cease-fire orders in the Holy Land.
Meanwhile, critics of British pol
icy in the Middle East prepared to
demand that Secretary Bevin ex
plain how it happened that five RAF
planes were shot down by the Is
raelis near the Palestine border.
Britain’s air ministry asserted all
five planes were shot down while
flying over Egypt.
IT COULD NOT be denied that
the situation was difficult. Broken
down to its basic essentials, it is a
condition where one people must,
or have been told they must, give
way to the infiltration of another
people—the Jews moving into Pales
tine and the Holy Land area, the
Arabs moving out. It has never
been a secret that British sym
pathies, for whatever reason, lie
with the Arabs and John Bull looks
with jaundiced eye on the partition
action and the influx of the Jews.
But the United States and some
other nations have sided with the
movement to return the Jews to
their homeland.
It may yet require organization of
a United Nations police force to
settle the affair, but bow that might
be done without British cooperation
is an even weightier problem.
TRAILER DEMONSTRATION
Here is the silk flag which was
presented to President Truman at
his inauguration January 20. It
is held by Lucy E. Notaro,
civilian employe, and Brig. Gen.
Hugh B. Hester, commander of
the Philadelphia quartermaster
depot. The flag was made in the
embroidery section of the depot.
ACHESON:
Should Make It
General belief was that Dean
Acheson would be confirmed by the
senate as secretary of state. Named
by President Truman to succeed
resigned George C. Marshall, Ache
son is certain to be taken over the
hurdles in public hearings on his
appointment.
Protege of Justice Felix Frank
furter and former intimate and em
ploye of Franklin D. Roosevelt, in
timate with and a former employer
of Alger Hiss and a law partner of
Donald Riss, Acheson must inevita
bly be reminded of these facts by
some of his interrogators.
On the other hand, he can point
to a long and distinguished record
of public service in which his loyal
ties have never been questioned.
But in view of the current spy hunt
in Washington and Acheson’s con
nection with some of its principal
figures, it would be little less than
a miracle if his appointment were to
go unquestioned.
According to the record, Acheson
began his state department career
with an attitude sympathetic to
Russia—that is, to the extent that
he believed the United States should
do everything possible to get along
with the Russians. But, since Yalta
and Potsdam, observers report that
attitude has changed and he is now
one of the most deterAiined anti
appeasers.
The ghost of Franklin Roosevelt
will walk and the echoes of the
Yalta and Potsdam parleys will
rustle as the Acheson hearings
progress.
DESTRUCTION:
Nothing to Chance
Destruction would be certain . . .
there would be nothing left to
chance if military scientists per
fect their newest idea of a guided
missile. This would be no “ordi
nary” guided missile.
That’s no fantastic dream of the
men who plan the weapons of war.
A hint of its imminence was con
tained in a “glossary of guided
missile terms” made public by the
federal research and development
board.
The glossary’s reference to the
subject was terse, saying merely
this:
“Guidance, homing, active—A
system of homing guidance where
in the source, for illuminating the
target, and the receiver are carried
within the missile."
Here was the general idea:
A guided missile (it could be a
rocket or merely a pilotless plane)
is fitted with a television set and a
picture of the intended target—^per
haps an aerial photograph of a city.
The missile is launched in the gen
eral direction of the target. When
it arrives at a point when the
pattern of the picture matches what
its television “eye” sees, the
missile “homes in” on the target.
That’s an over-simplified de
scription because thousands of com
plex electronic actuating computing
devices must make instantaneous
and accurate reckonings; link the
“eye” and the “brain” of the
missile to its controls, and relay
back to the base from which the
missile was launched information
on where it is and what it "sees.”
Man’s ingenuity in developing de
structive devices apparently has
not yet reached its zenith. When it
does, those who fear man’s ultimate
destruction by his own hand may
not be altogether given over to mor.
bid imaginings.
Huge Exhibit Planned at Chicago Show
Desirability of life in a trailer
coach will be demonstrated to
Americans when manufacturers
from seven states and three coun
tries exhibit their models at the
1949 trailer coach manufacturers’
association show in Chicago start
ing February 18 and continuing
through February 27. The display
win be housed at the International

RECORD BUDGET:
Asked of Congress
President Truman, presenting a
proposal for the largest peacetime
budget in U. S. history to the con
gress, was greeted with the ex
pected reaction. Democrats ap-
p 1 a u d e d. Republicans instantly
demanded deep slashes in recom
mended outlay. It became evident
quickly that the fight on adoption
of the budget would be carried out
•trictly along party lines.
THE PRESIDENT declared it
would take 41 billion, 858 million
dollars to run the government right
for the next year. And the punch
line was that half of every Amer
ican tax dollar would be spent to
hold back the Communist tide in
the world.
On a party line basis, approval of
the budget was assured, assuming,
of course, that the Democrats hold
fast. The President has a comfor
table majority in both houses and
there should be no difficulty in get
ting his proposal adopted.
But the 41 billfon-plus figure
wasn’t all. Mr. Truman served no
tice he will ask more funds later
to supply arms to non-Communist
nations, a step which would push
the budget even higher.
THE ONLY possible bar to ap
proval of the Truman budget was
public reaction to the plan to finance
with 50 cents of every American
dollar anti-Red activities abroad.
Would the people go along with
American foreign policy and the
theories of policy-makers that such
a step was the only answer to Com
munist menace? Apparently the
President is confident, because of
his victory at the polls, that the
people will support him in such a
move and thus showed no hesitancy
in his budget proposals nor in
making his declaration that he
plans to call upon the American
people for even more money to
stem the Communist tide.
Already thoughts are turning to
the 1950 congressional elections and
congressmen whose senses were not
completely lulled by the 1948 Demo
cratic sweep, may want to sound
out public sentiment on the huge
expenditure program. If that is the
case, public opinion may be the
final factor in its adoption.
CHAIN STORES:
Food Dollar Chart
Despite the prevalence of many
conviction* to the contrary, con
sumers who lay a dollar down on
the counter of a chain food store
gets food that costs the chain an
average of 83 cents.
This leaves 17 cents to the chain
with which it must pay all its in
cidental expenses and 10 cents of
this, or about three fifths, goes out
in wages to employes of the chain.
IN PAYING 17 cents to the chain
the customer thus lays out that
amount for the chain’s combined
wholesale and retail services. After
the 10 cents goes to employes, the
remainder is allocated in this man.
ner: one and a half cents for rent
and maintenance; two cents for
warehousing and cartage; a little-
over one cent for shrinkage, spoil
age and theft, and one-half cent for
advertising. This leaves from one
to one and a half cents net profit
to the chain, less income taxes of
one-half to one cent.
These figures were developed in
the latest in a series of price studies
by the family economics bureau of
the Northwestern National Life In
surance company.
The survey disclosed that in
dividual markups vary widely, of
course, within the store, being
much higher than the general 17
per cent average on perishable
items like fresh fruits and vegeta
bles, and much lower than everage
on very competitive staples like
sugar.
ACCORDING TO tt- study result,
the average food chain markup be
fore the war was 22% cents—a third
greater than today. Today’s far
greater dollar volume per store,
and therefore per employe, is main
ly responsible for the lower han
dling costs per dollar of sales.
Should either prices or total vol
ume shrink materially, however,
the cent or so profit margin per
dollar would vanish rather quickly
and “red ink” would take its place.
Before the war, the farmer re
ceived an average of 40 cents of the
consumer’s food dollar and 60 cents
went for processing, canning, ship
ping, wholesaling and retaining. To
day the farmer gets 53 cents per
dollar and 47 cents covers all the
various steps in processing and dis
tribution.
LONGER LIFE:
Science Has Key
If parents would insure long lives
for their progeny, they must marry
young.
DR. A. I. LANSING of the Wash
ington university school of medi
cine, St. Louis, reported to the
Gerontological society of New York
the discovery of a mysterious
chemical, called X, which seems to
time how fast a human being grows
old. “X” is something that parents
transmit to their offspring and it
is set like a clock, either for long
or short life.
The age clock was found in
rotifiers, but a little human evi
dence was cited. Rotifiers are
microscopic water bugs, swimming
with long lashes that make them
look like whirling dervishes. The
setting of the X-clock in ro
tifiers depend on how early they
mated.
IT APPEARS, Dr. Lansing stated,
that the amount of X stuff in a
fertilized egg sets the clock. When
there is little X, the rotifier lives
long. As parents get older, the eggs
contain more X and life is shorter.
He also said that the mysterious
stuff also regulates growth—as the
volume of X increases, growth stops.
The human exidence is indirect.
Dr. Lansing said. A study by Dr.
Louis Dublin, showed a tendency
for children of young parents to
live longer than those born later.
And, it must be remembered,
humans come from eggs.

FOR A MONTH which is short,
February has more than its quota
of holidays. Just in case you’re en
tertaining for even one of these,
.j've planned a number of popuiai
desserts from which you can take
your choice.
Youngsters and oldsters alike
will enjoy colorful desserts whether
they’re for family dinner or a party.
You may serve them ice cream,
cake or pudding, or pie, if that’s
your favorite dessert, and it’s bound
to be a hit.
Here are a number of top-notch
cherry dessert recipes which may
be used during this month or any
other. Starting with a cherry pie
filing, you’ll find that several other
desserts can be made from it.
Filled cup cakes, cherry sundae
topping or a cherry frozen pudding,
all are made using the same, easy
basic cherry sauce that is used for
pie filling. The sauce may be stored
in the refrigerator for later use or
for quick snacks when company
drops in to call.

'Soil Surgeon' Says
Seedbed-Making Boon
Performs Multiple Work,
Cuts Time in Half
A new, efficient device for pro
ducing finer, smoother seedbeds is
the “Soil Surgeon” now on the mar
ket.
Designed for use in a plowed
field only, the device does the com
bined work of a double-disc, spiked
toothed harrow and a float—and
manufacturers declare it gives the
farmer a finer, smoother seedbed
in half the ordinary time.
The exclusive ..se of the soil sur
geon after plowing does not turn up
dormant weed seeds or plowed-

cleaner growing crop and richer
soil. It levels the ground, fills all

in the soil, thereby making for
quicker germination and a higher
yield.
Sturdy and simple, the soil sur
geon consists of two heavy steel
pans with raised sides, to permit
loading with dirt for added weight.
These may be used singly or bolted
together, depending on the desired
width to be covered.
To the bottom of each pan are
bolted 20 double-edged cultivator
knives, each provided with a bear
ing to permit it to follow easily
and automatically the tractor’s line
of travel. These heavy-duty knives
slice the four and one-half inches of
soil into one-inch strips, while the
action of the pan pulverizes,
smooths and levels the sliced soil
in a way not approached by any
other instrument currently in use
on the farm.
The field should first be worked
in the direction of plowing, using
as many sections side by side as
the tractor can pull with weight
adjusted. The final finish is ob
tained by pulling the soil surgeon
across the line of furrows. The
soil surgeon should also be used as
a crust breaker for all oncoming
crops to mulch and kill small
weeds.
Pacific Island Farm
“Pigs is pigs,” no matter where

Produce from the farms is used

Proper Carburetor Use
Cuts Farm Fuel Costs
A heavy tractor operating under
a load with the carburetor slightly
out of adjustment may bum a half
gallon more fuel per hour. In the
average 50 days a year that farm
tractors operate, the tractor may
bum 250 gallons more fuel annually
than it should.
Proper carburetor adjustment
would save 10 per cent of the total
fuel burned in farm tractors an
nually.
