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.

World War II. Since the revival of
the project, officials of the Library
of Congress, scientists of the Na
tional Bureau of Standards and
Thermopane technicians of Libbey-
Owen-Ford glass company have
spent nearly four years perfecting
special bronze and glass enclosures
for the job.
When the two historical symbols
of democracy are once safely stored
in glass they win be available for
inspection by the public.

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.
