SCANNING THE WEEK'S NEWS
of Main Street and the World
Allied Officials Again Expressing
Belief Talks On 'Smooth' Footing
HOPEFUL SPECULATION —As the UN and Red Korean negotiators
resumed efforts for a cease-fire agenda at Kaesong (without the “pro
tection” of the armed Communist guards), Allied officials expressed the
belief that the problem of getting something on the agenda would be
quickly solved. There were hints that the talks were going smoother after
the lay-off and the situation was more relaxed.
The man on the American streets, however, was not too full of opti
mism. Those who had followed the criss-cross, tic-tat-toe pattern of the war
and the inevitable breakdown of the initial conferences knew that there
was no available sounding board to gauge the pattern of events in Korea.
Most Main Street citizens approved the action of Admiral C. Turner
Joy, senior UN delegate, in refusing to continue the negotiations until cer
tain Allied rights were recognized. The spark of aggressiveness offered
hqpe that, years hence, we might ask one another who won the war in
Korea.
LET'S CHECK THE RECORD —Administration forces and Truman
backers on Capitol Hill started off the week with an eye to the 1952 elec
tions and a beckoning gesture to the voting public on Main street.
Realizing the pressure from Republicans and anti-administration
forces, the parties-in-power felt it wiser to get everything possible in the
way of economic control bills in order to prepare some manner of check
list for the voting public.
The Administration decided to move quickly for final action on the
new defense-production measure, in whatever form it could be shuttled
through to replace the original law which expired June 30; is currently
in force only through Congressional resolution. The law carries powers
for wage and price control, materials allocation, and other measures.
Party leaders only hoped they would not have to compromise too much
and too often to get the results. *
REASONABLE CEILINGS—The long-awaited Washington explosion
came in the House as the battle over federal authority to roll back prices
opened with loud fanfare. The Administration’s willingness to compromise
went for naught as farm-area congressmen balked like the proverbial
mule.
Before the debate got under way, minority leader Martin and Repub
lican Wolcott (Mich.) leveled charges that the Administration hoped to
load the pending control bill with pet “socialistic schemes ... to sneak
in the thoroughly discredited Brannan farm plan through a system of
so-called production subsidies.”
Administration forces sought the compromise by offering an amend
ment to retain the present 10 per cent rollback on live beef prices, but
forego other farm rollbacks. Farm bloc speaker Cooley (D., N.C.) how
ever, suggested a ban on all farm-price rollbacks—including the one al
ready made on beef. Cox (D., Ga.) went further—seeking to bar all
price rollbacks; on industrial goods as well as farm products.
The hopes of the Administration thus lay in finding a way to woo the
farm-area congressmen and also take advantage of the House Republican
leaders’ promise to help pass a law that will keep prices “within reason.”
UNPROVEN ANGEL—In New York a federal judge gave evidence
that life is becoming tough for Communist leaders in the U.S.; for the
second time in a week, the Civil Rights Congress was outlawed as a
bondsman in federal court.
The dozen-and-two were already out on bond made by CRC, the Red’s
angel, but Judge Ryan held the Congress had failed to show clear title
to bonds; ordered them to find another angel or come back to jail.
MANDATORY SENTENCES—In Washington the House came through
with overdue attention to the narcotics problem, voicing approval of a
bill requiring mandatory jail sentences for narcotics-law violators.
The measure, Senate-bound, provides for one to five year sentences
for first offenders; five to ten years for second offenders; and a 10 to 30
year term for three-time losers. The law would apply to both peddlers
and addicts; should be a strong weapon to fight one of the nation’s grave
problems. Across the country parents, after watching with growing horror
the dope probes and hearings, expressed the hope that here was a strong
to keep the narcotic wolf from the family threshold
AN EYE FOR AN EYE—The United States lashed back at Hungary
for the expulsion of two American envoys from Budapest two weeks ago;
ordered that nation to call home two top diplomats, Peter Varkonyi, lega
tion attachee and Lajos Nagy, charge d’ affaires. Varkonyi was to leave
“immediately,” Nagy as soon as new minister Emil Weil could present
his credentials.
. The move was retaliation for the expulsion of American envoys and
other pressure that had caused cessation of U.S. information and educa
tional activities in Hungary. It marked, however, a new low in diplomatic
relations between the two countries—relations that had seemed improved
recently by the release of American businessman Robert A. Vogler.
AND THE RAINS CAME—As the week began, the most costly flood
in the history of the nation moved East from Kansas City along the Mis
souri river, leaving the gateway to the Southwest strangled with slowly
receding waters.
Residents along a 400 mile waterway counted the damages. 75,000 or
more had been left homeless, 400,000 more otherwise affected. Losses
were estimated close to the billion dollar mark, nearly twice as much as
that in the 1937 Ohio and Mississippi rivers floods.
NO SIGNIFICANCE—Navy spokesmen in Washington declared there
was “no special significance” in Admiral Forrest Sherman’s conferences
with Franco in Spain, although sources reported that the U.S. officer
sought the use of navy bases in Spain for the U.S. Sixth Mediterranean
Fleet.
Britain and France, opposing admission of Spain into the 12-nation
Atlantic Pact, came into the open against the U.S.-Franco ties, said only
the Communists stood to gain anything. Uncle Sam, however, seemed to
be envisioning a limited role for Spain in the future Western defense
efforts. Supply and demand: Franco needs arms and ammunition, Amer
ica wants naval and air bases.

SETTING THE GOAL
U. S. Spurs Record Grain Output
WASHINGTON—The Agriculture
department set out to spur the na
tion’s farmers to a new record out
put of wheat and other fall-seeded
grains with the release of produc
tion goals.
Secretary Charles Brannan set
the 1952 goal for both winter and
spring wheat at 78,850,000 acres.
With normal yields, crop increase
would be 100 million bushels.
The increase would not only
meet all expected requirements for
the marketing year—both domestic
and export, but would also provide
for some increase in holdover re
serve stocks for that fiscal year
ending June SO, 1953. As Secretary
Brannan pointed out, “The goals for
other fall-seeded grains recognize
the need to build up feed grain sup.
plies to aid livestock production.

WANTS SALES TAX . . . Charles

Manufacturers, urges congress to
put a general sales tax at the fac

SHOPPER'S
CORNER
By DOROTHY BARCLAY
GRADE FOR PROTECTION
XT’S TOO soon, ladies, to feel the
^ benefit of rollback meat prices
and price ceilings. But by fall—oh,
happy day!—you will be paying 10
cents less per pound for your meat
—even beef—than you are today!
And meanwhile,
mil your butcher is pro
tecting you by post
ing the grade of
beef, veal, calf, or
lamb and mutton,
yes even of poultry
you buy from him!
He’s showing you
just what you’re paying your money
for!
This expansion of meat grading,
on almost a wartime basis, was
instituted by the OPS to set the
stage for coming price controls,
and to get ready for the allocation
of meat in case of emergency. Only
once before, for a period during
World War II, was this ordered—
that all meat except pork, must
be graded. Ceiling prices are set
up, logically, according to grade.
You all know that purple, ribbon
like stamp with the “U.S.” grade
label, indicating the quality of the
carcass from which the meat was
cut. Those initials on today’s stamp
ing mean that the meat was packed
in federally-inspected plants, or
other plants meeting federal re
quirements. k
The new grades your patriotic
butcher has posted, and that you
will find most useful to know are:
for beef, veal, and calf — prime,
choice, good and commercial; for
lamb and mutton, prime, choice,
good and utility.
Of these, prime is excellent
quality, with a wide selection of
cuts suitable for roasting or broil
ing; choice, a high quality usually
leaner than prime, with many cuts
also adaptable to roasting and
broiling; good, tender meat from
higher quality young animals, pro
viding good economical meat
dishes; and the commercial, meat
from mature animals, less tender
and therefore requiring longer cook
ing than the more expensive grades,
but excellent for quality and econ
omy.
Other meats besides beef, of
course, have similar grading—but
when you think of meat, it means
first of all beef. You and I know it
to be the national favorite, account
ing for 44 per cent of the American
meat diet—about 63 pounds per per
son in an average year.

BETTER TO KNOW
With beef so all-important to the
homemaker-buyer, then, and rep
resenting such a large share of
the shopping budget, it follows that
if the cost of living—and eating—
is to be held in check, beef-price
stabilization is of prime importance.
So these new OPS regulations
are designed to do this, not sudden
ly, but gradually step by step, with
the minimum of dislocation in the
vast beef industry. That’s the rea
son the reductions are spread over*
a long period, thus giving feeders
and others who have bought cattle
at high prices time to move them
out ahead of the later reductions.
The big break will be for you
consumer-buyers, when that happy
day arrives when you will pay 10
cents less per pound than you are
now! Do you know what that will
mean?—On an annual basis, a
saving of $700,000,000 to the nation’s
housewives!
Small Kentucky Town Is
Center of Coal Field
PIKEVTLLE, Ky.—The town of
Pikeville, population 4,500, /in the
eastern part of Kentucky, sits in
the middle of 4 billion tons of known
reserves of coking coal, of which
nearly two billion tons avs con
sidered recoverable under present
mining practices, the United States
bureau of mines reports.
The report is a part of the bu
reau’s survey to evaluate the na
tion’s reserves of coal suitable for
making metallurgical coke. It is
the first of its type for Kentucky.
The Sky Is the Limit;
Firemen Chase the Moon
NEWVILLE. Pa.—The town of
Newville, including Fire Chief John
Bender, was startled by fire alarm.
Bender followed a glow in the sky.
i “Must be a lulu,” he remarked.
They roared through the night
till the glow became a line of flame,
than a semicircle and the chief
called a halt
He had been racing toward the
moon.
Special Interest Senators
T HE PUBLIC was asleep at 3
A.M. when the senate staged its
most revealing debate on price con
trol. Asleep also were many news
papermen.
Yet the speeches certain senators
made at that time—just as price
controls were scheduled to expire
—and the amendments they intro
duced, give the clearest of all pic
tures regarding who pulls the strings
to make certain senators dance.
At about 2:30 A.M. up spoke Sen.
Homer Ferguson of Michigan, his
silver hair more awry than usual.
He had an amendment which would
have increased the price of auto
mobiles throughout the nation.
Ferguson did not mention the fact
that his wife and son-in-law are
heavy stockholders in a subsidiary
of one of the biggest automobile
companies—Chrysler. Nor did Sen.
Willis Robertson of Virginia men
tion it, as Sen. Elmer Thomas was
unkind enough to do three years ago
when he threatened to expose Fer
guson’s family interest in Chrysler
unless Ferguson quit investigating
him.
However, Robertson, alert to
catch the significance of Ferguson’s
amendment, warned his colleagues
that it was “tailored perfectly to
increase the price of automobiles.”
“Then this is a roll-up amend
ment,” snapped Clinton Anderson of
New Mexico. “If we want chaos in
price administration, this is the
easiest way to get it I have ever
seen.”
Then, turning to Ferguson, the
New Mexico senator observed: “It
applies primarily to the automobile
industry.”
“The senator is correct,” ad
mitted Ferguson. “Why should that
industry be discriminated against?”
“The profits of automobile manu
facturers were reasonably good,
were they not?” Anderson shot back,
referring to the fact that most big
motor companies have just cele
brated their highest profits in his
tory.
"Now we come to the secret. The
senators want to fix prices so as to
determine profits,” angrily shouted
the Michigan senator.
Ferguson had reason to expect
his automobile amendment to pass
like other special-interest amend
ments, log-rolled through in the
early hours of the morning. But It
was defeated—with Michigan’s other
senator, Blair Moody of Detroit, vot
ing against it.
Heartsick Senator
One of the greatest speeches of
the inflation debate was delivered
In the senate at about 3 A.M. It was
by a man whose banking firm has
made him a multimillionaire but
who fought vigorously against the
big-business lobbies—Herbert Leh
man of New York.
Though Lehman is 73 years old
and served as governor of New
York more terms than any man in
history, he is new to the senate. And
he seemed hurt and disappointed at
the mad scramble of his colleagues
to vote for the special interests.
Finally he rose, and speaking sad
ly, softly, said:
“What I am about to say is not
going to please my colleagues in
the senate. Yet I must say it. Here
we are engaged in a life-and-death
struggle, a struggle for survival
against the most ruthless enemy la
history, fighting on two fronts, on
the military and on the economic.
“We ought to be engaged exclu
sively in considering legislation to
benefit all the people of the coun
try, legislation to keep our country
on a sound economic basis. Yet,
here I see and hear senator after
senator rise, not to concern him
self with the issues before us, but to
play politics, to blast the Adminis
tration. I ten you, it has made my
heart sick to hear all this. It makes
me feel that we are betraying the
people who send us down here.
“We are about to pass a bill
which is a bad bill, a bill which is
not in the interest of the people
of our country,” Lehman continued.
“I know there is nothing I can say
which is going to reverse the trend
and bring about the ends I and
many of my associates and the peo
ple seek. Deep down in our hearts,
we all know that these eritts are
necessary. Yet some are acting
without regard to what is right
But I hope that we are not going
to be supine or satisfied with what
we have done.
*T assume that what I have said
will not set well with some of my
colleagues,” Lehman concluded.
“Yet I am glad I said it I think
it is something which had to be said
on the floor of the senate.”
Peanuts and Milk
Senators Ed Thye, Minnesota Re
publican, and Warren Magnuson.
Washington Democrat, also pushed
through an amendment to freeze
dairy and peaunt products at their
present high i prices. But Senator
Anders mi objected.
“The bill we are considering is
designed to try to put ceilings on
prices,” he said. “How is a measure
that would prevent prices from
dropping germane to a bill that is
trying to put on ceilings?”
