THE NEWBERRY SUN, NEWBERRY. S. C. SCANNING THE WEEK'S NEWS of Main Street and the World Korean Conllic! Is One Year Old; World War May Have Been Averted SOON, IF AT ALL— A few days ago—June 25—the Korean war was one year old. Today, after a year of fighting Communism in battle, the questions uppermost in the minds of most Americans is what are the chances for world peace? Is World War III nearer or more remote? A great many unknown factors and “ifs” arise with such questions. But there is a growing belief in the world today that a general war is more remote than a year ago. This reasoning is based mainly upon two points: (1) The free nations of the world are growing stronger every day; (2) the free world has demonstrated in deeds as well as words it will resist aggression. There is one fact that none of the free nations of the world is over looking. There is the possibility, in the face of the west’s growing strength, that the Soviet Union realizes it must act soon, if at all. To wait would only give the west time to grow so strong that victory for Communism would be an impossibiliy. The Korean war seems to have accomplished several things. It brought to life the west’s lagging plans to marshal military, political and economic resources to meet future aggression. And these moves may have served as a deterrent to ambitious aggressors. TEXAS TOUR— Gen. Douglas MacArthur flew to Texas for a number of official receptions and speeches. For three days he preached his doc trine of a realistic approach to far east problems. He went so far in a Dallas speech as to say “it is fantastically unrealistic to refuse to accept the fact that we are at war—a bitter, savage and costly war.” But the colorful general who has caused more controversy in a few months than many prominent figures do in a lifetime, departed from his main theme to take a slap at the domestic policies of the Truman admin istration. “There are those who seek to make the burden of taxation so great and the progressive increases so alarming that the spirit of adventure, tireless energy, and masterful initiative which ouilt the material strength of the nation shall become stultified and inert,” he said. “There are those who seek to make all men servants of the state.” The departure from the main theme of his speeches since he returned to the United States increased speculation that the general may be plan ning a political career despite his assertion he is not interested in entering politics. The Texas visit has been called a test for future political moves. GRAIN FOR INDIA— The long delayed grain for India bill, lending India $190,000,000 on easy terms to buy to to 2,000,000 tons of U.S. wheat and other basic foodstuffs, was signed into law by President Truman. The bill was subject to months of heavy debate in congress before it was finally passed. Critics argued that India’s opposition to some U.S. pol icies in Korea made her an ill deserving beneficiary. Backers said it had a humanitarian purpose and, besides, it would help line up India with the western world as opposed to the Communist bloc. In the months of debate many forgot the fact that the food purchased by the loan will prevent famine in India. It was the only humane thing this nation could do. I PRICE CONTROLS—By the time this reaches print the defense pro duction act which gives the government the power to control prices, wages and rents may or may not have been extended. In all probability It will have, but it will not contain the broader powers as asked by President Truman. Special interests—the cattle industry, landlords, the building industry and others—have used every trick at their command to get amendments tacked to the act that would be to their advantage. As a result, the house banking committee voted tentatively to knock out two future price rollbacks on live cattle planned by the office of price etabilization. Also, the senate banking committee voted to renew and ex pand the government’s rent-control program. But the senate committee at the same time recommended a raise in some of the rent ceilings. The committee felt that a 20 per cent increase should be allowed in some areas. Many of these areas already had from 10 to 30 per cent in creases above 1942 levels. As for the house vote on beef rollbacks, it was a direct slap at the administration’s beef policies. The vote was in the form of an amendment that would limit future price rollbacks on all agricultural commodities to 90 per cent of prices on May 19, 1951. Whatever its form, the new defense production act will be far from what President Truman asked. MACARTHUR HEARINGS—Any day now the MacArthur hearings will dose. It would be interesting to know what historians will make of the incident and read into the millions of words of testimony. No hearing or debate in American history ever caused so much com ment in the big towns and the home towns of the nation. And possibly no incident in modern history, excepting World War II and the Korean war, received such coverage in the nation’s press. It made good reading in dailies and small town newspapers alike. The debate may have been good for the nation, and certainly, was car ried out in the best American tradition of free speech and thought. But there was one regretable aspect of the hearing. Our potential enemies now know the inner thoughts and reasoning of American foreign policy. Our policies are an open book to the entire world. RESERVISTS TO GO HOME—Home town enlisted reservists—not members of organized reserve or national guard units—are going to be released by the army. Approximately 100,000 will be released in the next six months. There will be no “point system” or other inflexible standards to deter mine the order in which the reservists are released. Each unit will set up its own standards, giving “primary consideration” to maintaining maximum effectiveness. But veterans who served 90 days or more during World War II are to be let out first under the general standards set up by the army. Reservists who have had previous military service other than World War II are to get sec ond priority.

SHOPPER'S CORNER By DOROTHY BARCLAY FRUIT FOR THE FREEZER If RE YOU feasting these days on that fresh, tender rhubarb your grocer is offering so generously— and cheaply? Having rhubarb sauce for the family, rhubarb tarts and pie for company? There’s plenty of it, and it’s cheap for a little while longer—so why not look ahead to the coming winter, and bring the taste of spring into it, by freezing rhubarb while you can get Don’t wait for the really hot weather. Freeze* it right away! You will get the best results if you grab it while it’s young, tender and light red or pink in color. Select, for the freezing, well-formed stalks in solid condition. Trim the stalks, discard ing about an inch below the leaf, and wash thoroughly. Cut the stalks to your taste or the capacity of your carton and pick without sugar, and get on with your freezing"job. Happy day, when you take it out for a winter treat of rhubarb pie! And strawberries! Do you know that the current crop coming more and more into your market, is the biggest in nine long years? So now’s the time to buy them in quantity— the quality you can be sure of—and provide for the future as well as the present, by freezing them as you buy. For freezing purposes, pick medi um-sized berries of solid red color with fresh green caps and stems. Be sure they’re firm and plant-ripened. Wash, hull, and slice your ber ries vertically, for better appear ance and taste, and cover with sugar. A 3 to 1 or 4 to 1 pack is your best bet. That is, 3 or 4 pounds of fruit to a pound of sugar, depend ing on your own or your family's sweet tooth. It’s best to weigh the fruit before proportioning fruit to sugar. Spread the berries in a large flat pan, add the desired sugar, and keep turning the fruit with a pan cake turner until the ingredients are thoroughly mixed, and let the sugar stand on the berries until there’s enough juice to cover, then pack into your containers. If you should use glass jars, be sure to leave plenty of head space. NOTHING WASTED While most of the berries in your boxes will be just what you want for freezing, there might be a few strays that were picked premature ly, and show white spots especially on the tips. Don’t throw them out—. you can use them for jams and pre serves, so that there’s no waste. And while the getting’s good on both rhubarb and strawberries, why not combine the two in jam, a perennial favorite? The proportions of the two are alike—a pound of rhubarb to a pound,of berries. Wash the strawberries, drain and remove caps, and cut the rhubarb in one- inch pieces, not removing the skin. Allow IMt to 2 pounds of sugar to 2 pounds of the combined fruits. Cover the rhubarb with part of the sugar, and let it stand for from one to two hours. Crush the strawberries and mix with the rest of the sugar, and join the two. Heat the mixture slowly until the sugar is completely dissolved, and stir constantly while boiling slowly for 15 or 20 minutes, until the jam reaches the desired consistency. Then pour into hot sterilized jars, and seal them up. And here’s a saving tip which holds good for any fruit-canning or preserving job. The excess juice left over can be frozen for future use as a sherbet! Just pour the overflow in the freezer tray, and place in either top or bottom shelf of the freezing compartment Freeze to the mushy stage, remove from the tray and whip with a rotary beater, and put it back to freeze until firm. Then it’s ready for any sudden call for sherbet or fruit cocktail topping! Rustlers Raid Ranches; Losses Reported Heavy MIAMI, Tex.—The two men who rustled 17 head of Harry Hardin's cattle near Miami were bold and brazen. Their cattle-loaded truck stuck in the mud on Hardin's ranch. They waited until daylight, then fetched a wrecker from town to pun them out. According to garage- men who aided them, they played to the hilt the role of disgusted ranch ers. The two drove off with the cat tle before Hardin knew about it. Consumer’s View P RESIDENT Truman has always felt that he made a mistake in yielding to cabinet advisers in October 1946 when he modified price controls on meat. This is one reason why he has become literal ly a personal crusader against the meat packers and for the consumer in the current battle over price controls. Conferring privately with his con gressional leaders last week, the President really let loose at the big meat packers. "They are worried about losing some of their big profits,” he de clared. “But they have brought it on themselves by inflating prices and squeezing the consumer.” He added that certain vocal elements among the cattlemen do not speak for the livestock industry. “I have some close friends in the business out in my area, which is the biggest cattle market in the world,” Truman continued, “and they tell me that they are not at all disturbed by the government’s con trols on b3ef. “These men came to Washingtor# and talked it over with Mike Di Salle. They want to make, money like everybody else, but they are putting the national interest above selfish interests.” If the anti-price control lobby had its way and all price con trols were abolished, the Ameri can consumer wouldn’t be the only victim, the President em phasized. Many dairy and poul try farmers would be hard hit, he explained, since wealthy cat tle interests could outbid them for feed grains, which are in short supply, t The same feed is required for chickens and dairy cattle as for beef cattle, Truman said, and beef producers would be willing to pay almost any price to fatten up their cattle for market, knowing they could pass the extra cost on to con sumers if there were no controls. “The trouble is we in congress are not hearing from the consum ers on this,” remarked Rep. Paul Brown of Georgia. “We are hear ing a lot from the other side, which is against controls, but the con sumer isn’t saying very much.” “Oh, yes, he is,” responded Tru man. ‘Tm the representative of the consumer.” Marshall vs. MacArthur Real fact about Secretary of De fense Marshall’s trip to Tokyo was that he wanted to be in Korea at this particular time—the rainy sea son—because he "is interested in the morale of tile men. The secrecy surrounding his trip was partly a test and had little to do with the enemy. Marshall has been miffed over the leak of im portant secrets from the Pentagon, and wanted to see whether plans for his trip would also leak. He made the plans more than three weeks ago,’ but told only two or three people. They didn’t leak. It's significant that Marshall visited Tokyo almost immedi ately after General MacArthur left. It’s no secret that the two men never got along well, Mar shall having been a strong Pershing man and the young captain on Pershing’s staff who worked out the strategy for the transfer of file American ex peditionary force from St. Mi- hiel to the Meuse-Argonne front without the enemy knowing it. Military experts pronounced this an amazing job. While Marshall was an unob- strusive 36-year-old captain with Pershing, MacArthur was a spec tacular 37-year-old brigadier general with the Rainbow division. After the war, MacArthur kept in the limelight, first as commander of West Point, later as a brigadier general in the Philippines, then as chief of staff. Marshall meanwhile was only a colonel—despite the fact that he had Pershing’s potent back ing. However, Pershing and MacAr thur weren't getting along well, and MacArthur, not Pershing, was on the upgrade in the army. Both were rivals at one time for the hand of Louise Cromwell, daughter of the J. P. Morgan partner, Edward T. Stotesbury. In the end, she turned down the widower Pershing, mar ried the younger man—MacArthur. Meanwhile, with MacArthur in the saddle, Marshall remained a lowly colonel. It was not until 1938, after MacArthur had been trans ferred to the Philippines more or less permanently, that Roosevelt recognized Marshall's ability.
