THE NEWBERRY SUN. NEWBERRY. S. C. SCANNING THE WEEK'S NEWS of Main Street and the World Reds Reject President Truman's 'Foolproof' Disarmament Program DISARMAMENT— No one who heard President Truman’s “fool proof’ disarmament plan and his blunt statement that “if we can’t get security and peace one way, we must get it the other way”, really ex pected the Russians to accept it. The Soviet’s immediate “no”, there fore, had no element of surprise. What, then, it might well be asked, does the U. S. expect to gain by continually seeking disarmament when everyone knows the Soviet has no intention of participating? There are several reasons, but i lit iUPfMSP WmMm mSm President Truman as be appeared as he left on a five—week vacation after proposing a ^foolproof’' dis armament plan to the world. two stand out. In the first place, there is always an outside chance that the Russians might change WMM-. p their minds and some method of disarmament worked out. But more immediate is the “propa ganda” benefits the U. S. realizes by putting forth a definite plan, while the Russians have nothing to offer but their continued talk of wanting peace. By turning the plan down Russia has become branded in the eyes of the world. The President’s speech was broadcast to the world, and es pecially to those nations behind the iron curtain by the Voice of America. The main points of the plan: 1. An inventory of armies and armament all over the world, in cluding eventual disclosure of information about atomic weapons—the number of which is presently top secret in both America and Russia. This inventory would develop into a permanent international inspection system. 2. The negotiation of specific arrangements for reducing armed strength and determining the size and composition of forces which each nation should have. Ultimately atomic weapons would be prohibited. 3. Actually putting the reductions in effect “as soon as that can be done with full knowledge and fairness to all.” KOREA PEACE— Reports from Korea indicate U. N. and Com munist negotiators are in almost complete agreement on a buffer zone. But the question of when to time the cease fire still separates the two on final agreement. The Communists want the cease-fire line indicated and effective immediately. The U.N., however, insists that it become effective only aft er other matters are settled—such as exchange of prisoners—and an armistice is ready for signing. The Allies contend that a cease-fire now would prevent an armistice ever being reached because it would halt the shooting and thus relieve the Reds of any necessity of negotiating the other questions. It would seem that the chasm of distrust that exists between the Communists and Allies is more likely to delay an armistice than the establishment of a cease fire line. The Allies continue to charge the Communists with stalling. CHURCHILL— Prime Minister Winston Churchill was again in the news. In a London speech he expressed the opinion that neither Russia or the United States really wanted to fight and pointed out “it must not be forgotten that ... we took peculiar risks in providing the principal atomic base for the U. S. in Eastern England ... We have every need and every right to seek and receive the fullest consideration from Amer icans for our point of view.” A short time later it was announced that Churchill will visit Wash ington for talks with President Truman. Some observers believe that the London speech was an indication of Churchill’s mood and determination to have a greater say in the battle against Communism. He may even succeed in getting the President to agree to a meeting with Premier Stalin which Truman has not wanted. Churchill will also discuss the possibilities of a U. S. loan to relieve Britain’s critical economic situation. DEFENSE There is a slight possibUity the home town taxpayer may get some relief from high taxes next year. The possibility was brought about by an announcement by Defense department officials of a cut in tiie next military budget as much as $11,500,000,000 below this year’s. Officials said the leveling off in armament outlays earlier than ex pected is due to two reasons. One is that because of long “lead times” in the production of aircraft, tanks, ammunition and other “hardware” for the armed forces, funds already authorized cover much of the sched uled expansion. The other is a growing awareness among military men that unless military demands are regulated and spaced, a “breaking point” in the civilian economy might result in the loss of public sup port for the long-term preparedness program. Since the start of the Korean conflict the Defense department has been given total spending authority totaling approximately $110,000,000,- 000. RUSSIA—Most people in the home towns of the United States have no idea of real size of the Soviet Union. Last week Soviet population figures were released that will startle the average American. The Russians report a total population of 207,000,000 and an annual rate of increase of 1% per cent. In 1940, the Soviet population, includ ing inhabitants of areas annexed during it)39 and 1940, was roughly 193,000,000 persons. The gain to 207,000,000 at present, despite the losses of World War II, implies an average annual population growth over the eleven years since 1940 of about 1,300,000. If these figures are accurate, then the Soviet Union has roughly 60,000,000 more people than the United States. LEGION— The American Legion will ask congress next year for an increase of at least 10 per cent in compensation rates for disabled vet erans and the widows and orphans of veterans, Donald R. Wilson, new national commander, has announced. Wilson said that the Legion recognized the fact that the national economy was undergoing severe strain and “we are aware of an un alterable obligation not to make any undue demands upon that econo my”. But there still exists, he said, inequalities that must be leveled. He pointed to the recently 10 per cent pay increase congress voted to most Civil Service employees and said veterans’ compensations should be increased likewise. Big Three Meeting V. S. Secretary of State Dean Acheson (left) greets British For eign Secretary Anthony Eden (right) as French Foreign Minister Rob ert Schuman smiles approvingly. The big three conference took place prior to the opening of the sixth regular session of the United Na tions. SCHOOL ENROLLMENT NEA Reports School Enrollment Is Up I Elementary and secondary-school enrollment totaled 26,567,374 as of October, 1951, the National Educa tion Association announced in its annual research report. The new figure is an increase of 800,000 over last year. Dr. Frank W. Hubbard, the as sociation’s research director, termed the year of 1951-52 one of lag in school construction, teach ers’ salaries, supply of elementary- school teachers, and financial sup port, “as enrollments continue to increase steadily and the purchas ing power of the dollar continues to decline.” Dr. Hubbard said the school prob lem was further complicated by “man-power conditions, the re straints upon construction through lack of steel. BLASTS CONGRESS . . . Philip Murray, president of the CIO, ad dresses the opening session of that organization in New York, saying that “America deserves a better congress than it had this year and 1952 is the year to change it.” Mur ray was re-elected CIO president. “HOME COMING QUEEN* Miss Clarice C.

But she came to life as she was being carried into the morgue. An examin ing doctor estimated she had been dead for 10 hours. She was rushed to hospital where her condition was called critical. Police said there was suspicion of an overdose of sedatives. Photo shows attendant and nurse caring for Mrs. Butler at emergency hospitaL NOBEL WINNER . . . Leon Jou- haux, French trade union leader, was awarded the Nobel peace prize for 1951. He has been chairman of the Internationa! council of the united Europe movement since 1949. The amount of the cash award is $32,500. SCRATCH ONE SNIPER . . . Marines tighten a ring of death on a sniper located in a thatch-roofed hut in Korea. One marine is peering through the rear entrance while his comrades cover the front. Body of sniper lies with feet across the doqr sill. But some of his Communist buddies may still lurk in the dark interior. This is a sample of the kind of fighting that U.N. forces have had to face in Korea. TEACHER TAKES ADVICE . . . Yankee shortstop Phil Rizzuto gets some advice from elder statesman Bernard Baruch at opening class of American baseball academy in New York. Rizzuto heads a staff of nine major league baseball stars who are instructing 1,200 boys be tween ages of 10 and 18 in daily classes until Feb. 15. The academy’s prime purpose is not to teach baseball, but, through association of the boys with their idols, teach them fair play and sportsmanship. PROF ARRESTED ...

Loot was found in hit: borne. DRAMATIC RESCUE . . . This Is one of the first actual rescue photos taken when the U. S. transport General Hersey collided with the Argentine liner Maipu, sinking the latter vessel. None of the 3,000 U. S. soldiers on the transport were injured and the 80 passengers and 158 crew members aboard the liner were all rescued. A lifeboat, loaded with passengers, stands by as the liner sinks beneath the fog-shrouded North Sea. Babe'in-the-Woods tjEPUBLICANS - for - Eisenhower heaved a big sigh of relief when their proposed candidate finally climbed on his plane and flew back to Paris. During the short time he was here, they estimated that their man had helped Senator Taft pick up about 100 additional delegates for the GOP nomination. "He may be a great general,” mourned one Republican active in the Eisenhower-for-President or ganization, “but he certainly is a babe-in-the-woods when it comes to politics.” What caused Eisenhower supi- porters to tear their hair was the way their man cut the ground out from under his chief backer with the statement that he hadn’t heard from Sen. James Duff of Pennsyl vania “directly or indirectly for a long, long time.” In the first place this was not true. For, earlier In the day, Ike’s own aide, Lt. Col. Robert L. Schulz, had phoned Senator Duff from Louisville. He phoned around Sunday noon, and Elsen- - hower's disclaimer to the press was Sunday afternoon. Second, word was sent to Senator Duff two weeks before Eisenhower arrived that he was coming and to keep November 4, 5 and 6 open. Third and more important. Duff had been waging a steady though quiet campaign to organize district leaders throughout the country and take delegates away from Taft. Last month, for instance, he made two speeches in North Carolina urging Eisenhower for President. Immediately following the two speeches, John Gordon Bennett, scion of the famed New York Her ald editor, went to North Carolina, began the actual work of pledging delegates. Anguished Phone Calls Most essential part of the Ben- nett-Duff sales talk, naturally, had to be that Eisenhower was a Repub lican, had given definite assurances that he would be a candidate, and would not leave his followers out on a limb. Without such assurances, no local politician wants to deal. Imagine their horrified surprise, therefore, when local leaders read in the press that Eisenhower hadn’t heard from Senator Duff “directly or indirectly for a long, long time.” Immediately long-distance phone calls began coming in to Eisen hower lieutenants from various parts of the country. “You said Jim Duff was master minding the general’s campaign,” protested one North Carolina Re publican. “How can he mastermind the campaign when he hasn’t even been in touch with him? You said Duff had assurances Ike would run. But Ike says he hasn’t heard from him. “In view of that,” continued the irate North Carolinian, “we’re get ting in touch with Dave Ingalls (Taft’s campaign manager) as fast as we can. We’ve got to protect ourselves.” What the North Carolinian had in mind was the way Eisen hower rebuffed various Demo crats who wanted to draft him in 1948, making them too late to catch the Truman bandwag on. Truman has never forgiven Sen. Paul Douglas of Illinois, Jimmy Roosevelt, Sen. Olin Johnston of South Carolina and others who plumped for Ike. Republicans know this, and fig ure Taft might be just as vin dictive as Truman. Those are some of the sordid but essential ABC’s of politics which Eisenhower doesn’t understand, but will have to learn. Behind the Peace Besides the genuine desire for peace, two key factors are behind the American disarmament pro posals in Paris: 1. A report from U.S. Ambas sador Allan Kirk, just returned from Moscow, that both Stalin and the politburo are suffering a case of war jitters, think the U.S.A. is ready for war, and that Russia should get the drop on us. Kirk warned that there is grave danger Russia may start war for this rea son; therefore urged the President to be extremely careful about all public statements on Russia—at least until the war hysteria dies down. 2. The effective manner in which Russia has put across the idea that it is the real advocate of peace and that the United States is warmoni gering. War on Piggy Bank The Bureau of the Mint has pri vately declared war on that trusty receptacle of America’s loose change, the piggy bank. It’s all be cause of the shortage of pennies. The government has something like 19,197,534,000 pennies outstand ing and another 175,000,000 were minted during the month of Octo ber. However, there’s still a big shortage, forcing many banks to ration their outlay of pennies. SHOPPER'S CORNER By DOROTHY BARCLAY — LITTLE PIG TO MARKET , T HAT little pig of yesterspring is getting to be a big pig now, and you’ll be seeing him at your fa vorite meat market in greater plenty before the end of the year. Give the little pig about six months to grow fat and sassy, and you’ll soon be feasting on pork and ham throughout the winter and the com ing spring. The U. S. Depart ment of Agriculture, estimating a typi cal, average week in meat production, figures that of 309 million pounds of meat produced pork accounts for 163 million pounds. For several months, pork production has been larger than ^ year ago, and as for the pigs themselves, they grow so fast, you can almost watch ’em day by day. So the tittle pig is born, and the big pig goes to market. Right now, your best buy at your market is in the smoked hams, butts and loins, which lend themselves to so many uses and so little waste. Have a baked ham for your Sunday company—and whatever’s 1 e f t— well, do whatever your creative instinct dictates. There’s minced ham -for- sand wiches for that school lunch box. There are ham croquettes for your luncheon. There are ham cornettes for supper, made with diced ham and either canned or cooked com And there’s that solution to the busy day and the half-filled refrigerator, the casserole dish. CLASSIFIED.

Ham is never wasted. MEAT PROSPECTS Good news for the American meat-eater. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, meat production in the coming year will likely be largei enough foi you to eat 144 pounds, the' equivalent of three extra meals per person over the year. And no one will rejoice more over that news than that hard-working, worry-beset butcher of yours. Most of the meat increase over the year will be felt in the veal and beef departments, where you have felt the tightest pinch for some time now. And the reason you’re going to have more beef is because you have had less. Because the farmers sent fewer cattle to mnrket in the late summer months, there’s been a longer feeding time. And you will have a more plentiful feeding as a result. For these well-fed beeves will be of high quality and well- fattened, when your butcher gets them in for you. While there will be some increase in the luxury cuts that come from grain-fed cattle, the largest in crease will be in the lower and medium grade so easy on your pocket-book, and so delicious when properly cooked. After all, what is more appetizing than a simmering pot-roast, well-browned and juicy.
