THE NEWBERRY SUN. NEWBERRY. S. C
Spring Offensive
TF RUSSIA follows the doctrine of
^ the famous German war strate
gist, Count Karl von Clausewitz, as
It has in the past, it would seem
likely that Moscow would order an
attack on Yugoslavia some time
this spring, for Clausewitz taught
that the time to make war is when
you are strongest and your poten
tial enemy is weakest. The moment
your enemy begins gaining strength,
according to the war theory fol
lowed by the Germans and Russians
for the last hundred years, then it’s
time to strike.
A careful, cold-blooded diagnosis
of Russian strategy in the past
shows rather definitely that they
expected the United States to fall
apart at the seams economically
after V-J day in 1946. The depres
sion which even some American
economists expected after the war
was banked on by Moscow to start
unemployment, unrest and riots and
either bring the United States into
the Communist orbit without war
or else make military victory easier
for the Russians. Certainly the ex
pected depression, Moscow figured,
would bring communism to Europe
And there was a time, late in
1947, when this strategy almost suc
ceeded in Europe. This was when
droughts, plus a Communist-inspired
strike of Italian harvest hands, plus
French railroad and shipping
strikes, plus riots and general war
discouragement had certain Euro
pean democracies near the toppling
point. It was at this crucial time
that such American aid as the
friendship trains, followed by a
special session of congress which
voted food for hungry Europeans,
followed by the Marshall plan,
broke the back of the Communist
drive to take over Europe.
Since then the pro-American
democracies in Europe have
been getting stronger while the
Communist movement is getting
weaker. Moscow definitely
missed the boat in those im
mediate postwar years and now
is faced with the quandary of
whether it may miss the boat
again or whether it should cold
bloodedly precipitate a war, for
tbe beginning in earnest of Eu
ropean rearmament under Gen
eral Eisenhower means that the
military advantage now enjoyed
by Moscow soon must pass from
its hands. Unpleasant as the
contemplation of those facts
may be, nevertheless they are
• facts we have to face and no
country need contemplate them
more carefully than the one na
tion which dared to thumb its
nose at Moscow—Jugoslavia.
Tito Knows Russian Traits
When talking privately, the man
who now bosses Jugoslavia is ex
tremely frank about the danger of
an attack on his country this spring.
Tito also expressed the view
that. If the Russians attack, they
will drive through the British
xone of Austria, skirt one side of
Trieste, and advance down the
unguarded Dalmatian coast.
This would cut off all Adriatic
seaports and make It impossible
for the United States to send
military aid to him.
Simultaneously, Tito predicted,
the Bulgarian army would advance
from the opposite direction to cut
off the rail line from Jugoslavia to
Salonika (Greece). He added that,
in anticipation of such an attack,
he had established a series of hid
den forts in the hills along the Dal
matian coast—forts that are well
stocked with food and ammunition
and could hold out for some time.
“I am not worried about an at
tack by satellite armies,” Tito said.
**1116 Hungarians, Poles and Czechs
will not fight. The Bulgarians will
fight better because they have been
promised Macedonia. However,” he
added, ”if the Red army itself at
tacks, that is something else again.”
Tito also expressed the opinion
that Moscow did not want the Ko
rean war to spread and actually had
tried to hold back the Chinese from
taking the offensive against the
U.N. forces there. He based this
view on his own experiences with
the Kremlin; also because the Rus
sians had sent Jugoslav, Polish
and other satellite nationals to work
in China in an attempt to cement
the Soviet orbit through an ex
change of personnel. Some of these
Jugoslavs, he said, had reported
their impressions of Russo-Chinese
relations back to him.
Vigorous in his denunciation of
Russia, Tito said ' We do not pro
pose to become an appendage of
Russia.” Then, to his American
friend he added, with a smile, “nor
of America, either.”
Well-Trained Troops
Perhaps the most important fact
about present American aid to Jugo
slavia is that, in effect, we are buy
ing the support of 32 Jugoslav di
visions. This brings up the all-im
portant questions: are they pre
pared and will tljey last longer than
the Jugoslav army in 1941?
The answers are obviously dif
ficult. However, American military
observers recently have been per
mitted to inspect Jugoslav troops
and consider them well trained.
SOVIET SPY . . . David Green-
glass (hatless), former army
sergeant who worked at Los Alamos
atomic plant, arrives at New York
federal court to testify in trial of
his sister and brother-in-law.
Greenglass testified he gave Rus
sia secret data.
ARMY RE-BUYS GI STOCK ... Soldiers check merchandise in army
truck in Philadelphia as bales of goods are piled on sidewalk outside
a war surplus store for loading on three giant trailer trucks. The goods
were bought by the army from the store. It was hinted that the army is
buying up the stock on a rush order from Washington. This was a re
purchase of stock sold to the store earlier by the army, and the trans
action was very hush-hush. Goods included overshoes, cartridge belts,
garrison caps.

SCANNING THE WEEK S NEWS
of Main Street and the World
U. N. Forces Near 38!h Parallel;
Johnston Wants New Parity Ruling
WHERE TO NOW?- Grim, pipe-smoking Douglas MacArthur took
time out from directing a war in Korea and his duties as top man in
Japan to tell newsmen U.N. forces were insufficient in numbers to hold
a line at the 38th parallel. He pointed out that there are no natural de
fense features anywhere near its immediate proximity.
The general’s statement brought to the front again the question of
what happens now that the Chinese have abandoned their last great de
fense center below the parallel and have retreated into North Korea.
Do U.N. forces advance beyond the line and continue their campaign?
The British government has insisted for weeks, as a political matter,
that the parallel was as far as U.N. forces should pursue the Reds. This
view was backed by a number of United Nations members.
In Washington the situation was put like this: If the U.N. succeeds
In smashing the next expected Communist offensive and the Reds then
continue retreating, how far north should the U.N. forces go?
Prodding, hard-working Matthew Ridgway, commander in Korea,
wanted a quick answer as his troops stood poised along the line. If his
advance was stopped it meant a stalemate in the war and the dirty
business of preparing a defense line on unfavorable terrain. If he was
given the go-ahead signal it meant more of his slow but thorough tactics
of “operation killer.”
MEAT MAKERS-A big man in a pearl-gray ten-gallon hat stiff
ened, turned purple, and brought his polished boots from desk to floor
with a crash: “This is the
most outlandish thing those
fools in Washington ever
thought up,” he exploded.
One of 2,500 ranchers at
tending a cattle raisers
meeting in Dallas, he was
expressing the view of fel
low cattlemen who had just
heard a government plan to
roll back cattle prices 10 to
20 per cent.
That view of the govern
ment’s attempt to hold down
inflation and to regulate
prices was not confined to
his group. The automobile
industry, labor, grain farm
ers, steel, and numerous
others continued their
screams. The cattlemen
were just a little more color
ful.
Cattlemen said a roll-back of prices would force curtailment of
production and encourage black markets. Like farmers throughout the
nation, they argued that production costs have advanced and that in
creased supply will regulate prices.
Said one rancher: “You can’t control what the public is willing to
pay for meat.”
FOOD PRICES—Erie Johnston, the former fair-haired boy of the
movie industry, lately turned economic stabilizer for the government,
sent word to the White House he had found the way to hold down food
prices.
Smiling Eric reported that the “parity extension” provision is the
key to inability to keep food prices in line. So long as he and Michael
DiSalle, the chubby price controller, cannot touch a food price until it
gets above a “parity” that moves in a rapidly ascending spiral, they
cannot control inflation.
This, Johnston said, is the heart of the problem. Unless food prices
can be held and rolled back, there will be no holding wages. And if
wages continue to go up, industrial prices and “parity” will keep on
climbing and the ecenomy will be torn apart.
Johnston has about as much chance of getting congress to repudiate
parity as he would of getting Iowa to stop growing corn. Nevertheless,
he recommended: (1) A change in the “parity exemption” provision of
the present law; (2) authority to use subsidies to hold prices in line;
(3) extended licensing powers; (4) adequate authority to handle labor
disputes.
THE HOT SEAT—The hottest spot in the U.S. the past several
weeks has been the witness chair at the senate crime investigating com
mittee’s hearing in New York. Occupying that seat has been gambling
kingpin Frank Costello and handsome William O’Dwyer, former mayor
of New York, now U.S. ambassador to Mexico.
The committee was trying to prove that Costello controls a gam
bling syndicate that reaches to the Main Streets of America. As for
O’Dwyer, the committee wanted to know if there is any connection be
tween gambling and big-time politicians in New York.
The hot seat really got hot when Senator Tobey, balding and acid-
tongued member of the committee, asked O’Dwyer why such a “promi
nent man” as he should trot to the home of Costello to ask his advice
and counsel.
O’Dwyer said he was carrying out an army assignment, adding,
“They say there’s a lot of it (bookmaking) in New Hampshire.”
“Well, we haven’t a Costello in New Hampshire,” Tobey roared.
“I wonder,” O’Dwyer retorted, adding that Tobey had sent to New
York for campaign funds.
“It’s not true,” Tobey shouted.
“I’m under oath,” O’Dwyer
bristled. “You’re not.”
To which Tobey roared, ‘Tm
not a fourflusher.”
All of which provided 15,000,000
television fans with a spectacular
show, putting soap operas to
shame. What it provided in the
way of facts concerning gambling
in the U.S. is anybody’s guess.
POLITICS-The 1952 presi
dential campaign was again in
the news with a published report
that President Truman made a
deal with General Eisenhower to
make Ike available in 1952.
According to the story, widely
published throughout the U.S., the
President told Ike that one Harry
Truman did not want to be ac
cused of exiling a potential power
ful contender for the honors of
The realities of the Korean war
are shown in the picture of two
waifs, perched on a haystack,
ealmly waiting for U.S. troops in
the background to fire a heavy
mortar. Ask yourself this question:
How would you feel if it was acted
out in the U.S. and the waifs were
American kids?
the White House. The general, in
his usual blunt and straight-forward way, attempted to kill the story.
His statement said “the President has never mentioned to me any
political possibilities of 1952 whatsoever.”
. That should have been that, but rumors persist that Eisenhower
will be available in 1952 to one of the major parties. As things stand
now it would appear he could win hands down.
RENT CONTROL-A 90-day extension of the rent control law was
passed by the house after heated debate. The measure already has been
enacted by the senate. It was sent to the White House where the Presi
dent was expected to sign it without delay. It becomes effective April 1
and expires June 30.
House members pushing the measure argued decontrol would inter
fere with recruiting workers for defense production and lift limits in
defense and military districts.
CROP PROSPECTS
1951 Production May Set New Record
With a break in the weather,^
American crop production in 1951
may set a record, but whether the
peak output is the answer to spiral
ing food prices is the big question,
even for the nation’s farmers.
One favorable trend is the grow
ing number of beef cattle and hogs,
sources nf a major item in the
country’s diet. Cattle numbers are
now at 84,200,000 head, compared
with a low of 78,000,000 in 1948.
Stocks of wheat and corn, raw
material for meat and dairy pro
ducts, are ample and without acre
age restrictions. Winter wheat
planting is up one-sixth over last
year. Indications in the midwest
corn belt point toward another
bumper planting this spring, of
ficials of the department of agri
culture said in a recent report.

So you have to be ready for any
thing—everybody or nobody! And
how better than to hie ypurself to
your favorite butcher and gfet your
self a large half-shank of ham?
It’s a top buy for your money, and

many or as hungry as you feared!
Cook it all at once, and let that ap
petizing aroma float through the
whole house. Or just cook what you
need, and save the rest for that in
finite variety whose name is Ham
Dinner!
Here’s how: Have your butcher
saw off a large shank end, for that
favorite boiled dinner that simmers
away for hours, with potatoes, car-
'void, onions. Cabbage? Not today,
lady, for since the Big Freeze, the
lowly cabbage is scarce and far too
high for the smart budget-watcher!
The rest of the ham you can di
vide and cut yourself, according to
taste and need. You can cut it in
two, bake the half with the bone
for a meal later in the week, and
leave the rest for that Icebox
Raider in the Home. The other piece
you can slice for steaks, or for the
ham of ham’neggs—and there you
have a week’s worth of meals. And
don’t forget, ham is teeming with
proteins, iron and those essential
B vitamins!
BUY OF THE MONTH
Have you ever seen such a wealth
of apples in your grocer's windows?

tops, and the price is low—what
more could you ask in a favorite

Rome Beauties and Greenings for
dumplings, for fritters, for puddings,

tional favorite, Apple Pie!
If you’re in doubt as to the vari
ety, ask your grocer to show you
the name on the shipping container.
Take your choice, lady, they’re right
there for you!
Rustling Goes
Modern; Great
Increase Noted
MILWAUKEE, Wis. — Cattle
rustling has gone modern in west
ern and northwestern Wisconsin.
The same is true in other areas in
the Midwest.
The modern rustler drives along
a country road, sees a sleek dairy
cow in pasture near the road, loads
her onto his truck and speeds away.
This version of modern cattle
thieves was given at the 1950 con
vention of Wisconsin sheriffs. Sher
iff Lloyd H. Thompson of Eau
Claire county noted the increase in
cattle thefts in elaborating upon
the “changing character of crime.”
He reported a number of cases of
cattle stealing in his county and
added that neighboring counties of
Clark, Chippewa and Doublas had
many more. Sheriff Charles N.
Kielholtz of Trempealeau county re
ported there had been a number
of rustling cases in his county, too.
Modern cattle thieves seem to
prefer the rich dairy regions.
The “rustlers” are fast operators,
he explained. Instead of driving the
cattle long distances as in the west
years ago, they practically back
their trucks up to the pasture, lead
the livestock to the truck ramp and
whisk their cargo away.
The cattle thieves take both beef
and dairy cattle, Thompson ex
plained, adding that they frequent
ly take bulls.
Thompson said that it is difficult
to trace stolen cattle to markets.
He suspects that some of the dairy
cattle are taken to other sections
of the country for sale.
