THE NEWBERRY SUN. NEWBERRY. S. C. SCANNING THE WEEK'S NEWS of Main Street and the World Agriculture Department Considers New Program for the Small Farmer NEW FARM PLAN As a result of a recent survey into the problems of the small American farmer, the Truman administration may come up with a new farm program in the near future more controversial than the Brannan plan and which could becoame one of the major issues in the 1952 presidential campaign. The survey was conducted with the idea of learning what the de partment could do to help the small farmer who is having difficulties because of inadequate land, machinery, livestock and know how. Thousands of meetings have been held in the home towns across the nation discussing crop control, price support, farm loans and other small farm problems. As a result, a major question has developed: should the government buy up land, redivide it into “economic” or “efficient” units, and resell It to low-income farmers? Also, should present crop controls be extended? Brannan believes that if productivity of substandard farms can be increased many agriculture problems would tend to disappear. On the other hand, many farm leaders have remained aloof and have not taken part in the meetings, criticizing Brannan’s methods more than his objectives. Two possible legislative proposals may come from the survey: (1) A technical assistance program for the less efficient farms and farmers, and (2) a farm-loan program designed to help such farmers acquire land, machinery, equipment, livestock and the know how to operate efficient farms. Whatever the final form, any new farm plan, whether it incorporates the government buying and redivision of land or not, is bound to become a major campaign issue. Much of the opposition will come from the farm bureaus who have long resented Brannan as trying to usurp the roles of the private farm organizations and regimenting agriculture. ' *'■ Meeting Place Panmunjom, is the proposed site for new Korea cease-fire talks. Meanwhile, fighting continues on the central front with Allied forces making limited advances. BOYLE RESIGNS—The big question in political circles since William M. Boyle, Jr., close friend of President Truman resigned as chairman of the Democratic National Committee, is whether or not Guy Gabrielson, GOP national chairman, will be the next to go? Boyle and Gabrielson have been under fire as having used their positions to influence the Reconstruction Finance Corporation into granting loans to companies they represented or were connected with. And although Gabrielson insists he will stay on, political observers believe his number is up, too. In his letter of resignation Boyle gave health as his reason, insisting he had at all times conducted himself with “honor and propriety.” He did admit in testimony during the congressional hearing that he accepted eight law cases involving government agencies, at fees totaling approxi mately $158,000, while serving as chairman of the national committee. LESS CIVILIAN GOODS—Defense Mobilizer Charles E. Wilson announced a cut in civilian goods production, effective January 1, that will be felt in the home towns across the nation. The cutback in civilian production, 10 per cent for washing machines and stoves and even more in the automobile industry, will provide steel for the armament program which will hit full stride during the first three months of 1952. The home town that has a school or hospital under construction will get enough materials to finish the project, but there will not be materials available to start new ones. As for farm machinery, so vital to agricul ture and home town economy, there will be enough to support production “at a healthy and adequate level.” MIDDLE EAST BLOWUP There is shaping up in the Middle East an explosion that could be felt in the smallest Americah community. The situation has developed as Egypt has increased pressure in recent weeks to remove the British from the Sudan and strategic Suez. As a compromise, the United States, Britain, France and Turkey have asked Egypt to become the center of an alliance in the area against communism, but the proposal was received cooly by King Farouk’s government. This dispute is important to home town Americans because of the nations interest in Suez, which if placed under Egyptian protection, would be a prize the Russians could take with little difficulty. The British, under present treaties with Egypt, have the legal right to maintain troops in the canal zone which is her economic life-line. She will not back down in her determination to remain in the zone. Thus, if the Egyptian government attempts to remove them by force the British will resist. If the Russians should decide to step in at this point, the world would become involved in World War III. There is a chance that Egypt may accept the west’s proposal of joint defense of the area, but only because she is not in a position to defend herself. NEW DECLARATION- In a major speech last week President Truman again declared American foreign policy is “based upon the hope that it will be possible to live, without a war, in the same world as the Soviet Union—if the free nations have adequate defenses.” And he again offered to “sit down with the Soviet Union” and other nations to work out agreements to relieve mankind of “the horror of another world war” and provide the basis for “a durable peace.” • The President pointed out the central theme of America’s present foreign policy and defense program: “So long as one country has the power and the force to overwhelm others and so long as that country has aggressive intentions real peace is unattainable. The stronger we become, the more possible it will be to work out solid. and lasting arrangements that will prevent war. Our strength will make for peace.” IRAN'S OIL- Mohammed Mossadegh, premier of Iran, who has taken the British-Iranian oil dispute to the United Nations Security Council, told UN diplomats to keep their hands off the dispute and warned “we will not be coerced.” In presenting the Iranian point of view he said there are only two questions open to negotiations: (1) Compensation for British investments in the now nationalized Anglo-Iranian Oil company, and (2) possible sale of oil to Britain. He then made his strongest point: “We will not take action and will not engage in negotiations affecting our internal affairs under pressure. Tp do so would not only constitut# an admission that we are not a sovereign and equal nation, but would eventually be fatal to our fa&depcndence.” , _ The question remains who will operate the huge Anglo-Iranian Oil company refineries. The Iranians do hot have the technical know-how and the British experts have already been sent home. How can Iran sell oil when it can’t produce it? THUMB SUCKING A Natural Habit, Nbted Doctor Says ■'vf < -5 «/ fz y I .W/<'■*/< - %?■ ROUGH SOLON . . . Rep. ▼’at Sut ton (D., Tenn.) tells Capitol news men how he downed an armed thug with one punch after the gun man accosted him in an alley near the home of a friend he was visit ing. When he returned with police the thug was gone. RED RETURNED . . . Gus Hall, fugitive national secretary of the U. S. Communist party who jumped bail to escape prison, was arrested by Mexican secret service agents near Mexico City, and is being de ported back to the United States. Since the beginning of time mothers have tried to stop their babies from sucking their thumbs. It now appears, if one is to be lieve Dr. I. Newton Kugelmass, noted pediatrician of New York, that “thumb-sucking is as normal as breathing” and is not to be worried about until the child is over two years of age. Thumb-sucking usually declines after the second year of life, the noted physician observes. If it per sists after the age of two, he has discovered as the result of intensive studies, “the child feels unloved, unwanted, guilty, resentful or in need of consolation.” What *s the remedy if a child continues to suck his thumb? "Treat the child, not the symptoms,” ad vises Dr. Kugelmass. ANTI-FROSTBITE . . . Korean war veteran, S/Sgt. Thomas Da vies, Dover, N.

Firemen lower a basket containing body of Mrs. Irma Randall, 35, a Brooklyn mother who died in flames after she had rescued four of her nine children. The mother was at home with the four youngsters when the fire broke out and spread quickly up to their apartment 50 feet above the ground. A crowd held a blanket and the mother tossed the children into it. All landed safely, but after the rescue Mrs. Randall’s body lay across the burning window sill.

British oil technicians are shown boarding one of the launches that ferried them from Abadan to the British cruiser Mauritius during the evacuation of Anglo-Iranian company employees from the billiomdollar British-built plant now na tionalized by the Iranian government. A total of 315 Britons were evacu ated with a government order that followed an Iranian ultimatum. DRAFT BOARD WON’T LEAVE HIM ALONE . . . Ernest Houde, Jr., Bridgeport, Conn., has the most persistent draft board in the U.S. He fought in the Korean war, was wounded, came back home and got mar ried. Twice while he was hospitalized in Korea, the draft board pub lished his name as a delinquent with orders to report for induction. Recently, arriving home from a veteran's hospital, he found a notice for him to report for a pre-induction physical. With him is his wife. SUSPENDED . • • Jack Molinas, Columbia University net star, was suspended for one semester for hurling a glass tumbler from a dormitory window on a dare. The tumbler struck the windshield of a car owned by a professor. RUSSIAN PRIESTS FLEE THEIR COUNTRY . . . Five Russian priests who fled Communist Russia are shown as they made a brief stopover in Rome, Italy, in their quest for freedom. From Rome they are go ing to Naples, where they will board a ship for Palestine. Left to right, they are Vladimiro Lindemana, Andreil Krisolov, Ivane Raskcha, Sergei Turanski, and Leseei Kravchenko. They are just one example of the yearning of the religions to escape from thte Communist yoke. New Weapons K ROUND 1946 as our hoped-for friendly relations with Russia were turning more and more sour, Gen. Omar Bradley, meeting with a small group of congressmen, pre dicted: “If the Red army chose to invade Europe right now, they could reach the English channel in 12 days. Nothing could stop them.” Today, this is not the case. The Red army could be stopped at the Rhine. This change Is not because the Red army is any smaller. It still has millions of men, still is com pletely reckless in its disregard for casualties. Nor is the change be cause Eisenhower’s army is more adequate. Though Eisenhower has done a good job, his army is still pitifully small compared with the Russian. The change, therefore, is chiefly the result of one thing—new atomic weapons. Hitherto, the atom bomb could be used only against cities where the destruction of civil ians was such that public opin ion rebelled against it. Now, however, atomic artillery shells and other weapons make it pos sible to confine the deadly de struction of atomic energy to enemy troops in the field. This means that the civilian death toll can be divorced from the atom bomb, and that atom weapons will be used. fihine Is Barrier It also means that the Red army can be stopped at the Rhine or at any large river. Because, to cross the Rhine, an invading army must concentrate at the bridgeheads. And large troop concentrations form perfect targets for atomic weapons. Thus divisions of the Red army, forming to cross a bridge over the Rhine, could be decimated by these new weapons which make the magi- not line look like cemetery hill at Gettysburg. The above fact, under present- day diplomacy, is something we want the Kremlin to know. For Hitler would not have marched into Poland had he^fcot felt cer tain of victory; and Stalin wHl not march into Western Europe If he knows what awaits him. Ike Will Run George Allen, the former White House jester, is now about the closest man to General Eisenhower. It was Allen who acted as liaison between Truman and Eisenhower to make sure Ike didn’t get into the race as a Democrat in 1948. Today, Allen, though a Mississip pi Democrat, says that Ike is sure to run as a Republican. Talking to a friend recently, Allen predicted: “What Ike will do will be ex- act’y what Roosevelt did at Chi cago in 1932. He’ll hop on a plane and fly straight to the convention.” “How’s he going to fly from Paris to Chicago when he’s under orders from his commander-in-chief to do a job in Paris?” asked the friend. “Don’t be foolish,” shot back the former White House jester, “what’s the commander-in-chief going to do about it?” Censorship Inside fact about the President’s long press conference lecture about protecting U. S. secrets was that his immediate advisers didn’t want him to make it. They knew public reac tion would be bad. However, the Defense department. Central Intelligence and others in charge of military secrets urged the President not only to issue his cen sorship order but back it up—in part to keep the military from setting U. S. policy. Time after time, high generals or admirals have barged in on civilian policy or disclosed secrets w’hich caused serious damage. Most important was tbe re lease of the Smythe report on atomic energy by Gen. Leslie Groves. A few hours after the - report was sent to several thou sand newspapers, horrified sci entists protested to the Army that the report contained vital secrets by which an astute sci entist could piece together the know-how for making the A- bomb. Hurriedly, Groves de manded that the report be re called. “That,” replied a member of hii staff, “would be like trying to pm an egg back into a chicken.” Washingfon Pipeline Ex-Secretary of War Robert Pat terson has notified the senate judici ary committee that he has with drawn his endorsement of Miss Frieda Hennock to be a U. S. judge. Since Patterson once sat on the U.S. Court of Appeals, his word counts heavily with the senators. He in formed them that when he original ly endorsed Miss Hennock, he had not realized all the facts now brought out by the New York bar association. SHOPPER'S CORNER By DOROTHY BARCLAY AM/# STItHT % FEATURE GET TO BOTTOM OF IT H OW have your floors stood up under all the extra traffic of vacation-time? The kids tracking in everything from sand to mud to grease? Now that they’re back at school, and you have a minute to look ’em over, how have they taken it? Time to do ’em over, and have ’em new and shin ing for the holidays, isn’t it? Well, then, get to the bottom of it. Discover how beautiful that floor can be under all the varnish and paint of the years! Getting those layers and layers of paint or varnish off is not the back-breaking and disposition-task ing job of yesteryear, lady. Modern equipment for sanding can be rented at your favorite hardware or paint store. Even a new solution which will solve your problem as it dis solves your caked varnish or paint, is spreading over the country, in increasing volume. And you can have all the fun and pride of a creator, by doing your floors your self. The ideal floor is, of course, non- porous, smooth, hard enough to resist abrasive action. Such a floor, properly cared for, and protected against excessive wear, will stay good-looking for a long, long time. Difficult floors call for the use of three grades of sanding paper, very coarse, medium, and fine for the final touches. With the sanding machine you can rent at your store, you, your man, or even the boys, will enjoy the job of taking off the old finish this easy way. Hard wood floors, you say? Sand ’em, vacuum off all the sawdust, and then apply the floor finish your hardware dealer recommends, a penetrating wood seal. This stuff has all the advantages and none of the disadvantages of oil and var nish finishes, for it seals all sur faces against the invasion of dirt and moisture, and resists wear and discoloration. It’s especially good on thresholds, where the traffic is heavy and constant. It dries so quickly, too, that within a few hours a second coat can be applied, and no line of demarcation will show— you’ll never knsw the difference. Now that you have the floor clean, and in its natural state, ap ply the finish you prefer, and then comes the Wax. Your hardware or paint store not only has all kin<js of floor and woodwork wax, but electric.- waxing machines you can rent. These little motors not only seem to run away with you, but run away with all the rough spots, and they’re fun for anyone in the family to work. They will make short work of the job that once caused back ache aft er hours of hard labor. A WAX FOR EACH FLOOR In most waxes there are various types for different purposes. There’s the standard, quick drying type, for instance, for new or renewed wood surfaces. This type pene trates, protects and preserves the wood. Ask your dealer for the flat finish for this purpose, and follow his advice and the directions on the can for its use. In the finishing waxes, there are both pastes and liquids. The liquid is for cleaning and polishing sur faces already waxed, the paste for both the initial - waxing over the flat finish, and for general polish ing. For linoleum, rubber and asphalt tile, a dry gloss is your best buy. Pastes and liquids contain turpen tine and naptha, in too strong doses for the binders in these materials. First of all, wash your linoleum with a mild soap solution and rinse with clean water and allow to dry thorougly before applying the dry gloss. If you want a brighter shine, buff lightly after the wax dries. For whatever supplies you need to renew those beautiful floors, abide by your dealer’s wisdom and experience.
