THE NEWBERRY SUN, NEWBERRY. S. C. U.S. Isolation IkirOST disturbing development in the U.S.A. to members of the Churchill party has been the growth of isolationism in certain sections British observers who see the Unit ed States during periodic visits may have an advantage in diagnosing popular changes between those visits. At any rate they compare public sentiment today to that just before Pearl Harbor when the Unit ed States also was tom between isolation and international participa tion. This, incidentally, appears to be borne out by the Washington Merry- Go-Round poll of Republican candi dates. At the start of this poll, Taft chalked up his greatest strength in the traditionally isolationist mid west; Eisenhower his greatest strength in New England, the South and the Pacific Coast. The poll, which is still con- tinning, also continnes to show Taft strong in these areas. In fact, the voting runs almost con stant in regard to Taft strength in the midwest, Eisenhower strength in other areas. RFC Chairman Harry McDonald, to be the first Republican head of the Reconstruc tion Finance Corporation in 19 years of Democratic rule, can be counted on to carry on the forth right policies of Stuart Symington. As head of the securities and ex change commission, McDonald vig orously advised GOP members of the RFC not to O.K. the controver sial Texmass loan, warned them that his SEC had not given Texmass a clean bill of health. McDonald, who believes the public is entitled to know all the facts about big financial deals, used to run a Detroit dairy, was supreme potentate of the Michi gan Shrine, got to know Truman because they are fellow shrin- ers, and took a mild shine to Rita Hayworth when she visited In Washington. He is a bache lor. Atomic Artillery Though President Truman has been opposed to exchanging atomic information with England, one so- > called atomic secret, which the Churchill party has been told, is that our much-ballyhooed atomic artillery is not going to work mira cles on the battlefield as some had expected. This is not exactly a secret, for the American public will be told the news later—namely, that atomic artillery, while by no means a dud, has been a military disappointment. In other words, while a lot more powerful and deadly than conven tional artillery, the new atomic shells will not wipe out armies over night. Most significant result of the re cent Nevada blasts was that ani mals staked behind near-by shelters easily survived atomic artillery and baby A-bombs dropped from fighter planes. This convinced U.S. observ ers that troops in trenches or be hind clumps likewise could with stand an atomic raid. Thus, in rugged terrain, atomic artillery would be no more effective against troops than heavy artillery now in use. This means that the atomic bomb could not stop the Chinese Communists In Korea. By hol ing up In caves or lying low be hind rocks and ridges, they conld take terrific atomic punishment. Shell for shell, however, atomic artillery would pack 100 times the wallop of TNT, would sweep clean 7 any military targets sticking above ground. The new A-bombs also would be most effective in retarding a Rus sian invasion of western Europe by bombing troop concentrations and transportation centers along the in vasion route. Both B-29s and fight- •r-bombers are already being di verted from the Air Force’s tactical and strategic commands for a spe cial atomic air arm called retarda tion command. Atomic raiding along the invasion route would be most effective against air bases. One atomic bomb could wipe out an air base, flatten parked planes, and level operations buildings. ^ * Note—Our most powerful atomic bombs will probably be used to blast factories and military bases. It has been computed that one such bomb packs more explosive power than all the ordinary bombs so far dropped in a year and a half of Ko rean fighting. Washington Pipeline Stanton Griffis is retiring as ambas sador ta Spain chiefly because of ulcers. Also he has written a book which Cass Canfield of Harper’s is crazy about. It’s the Griffis Mem oirs, beginning with the days when he sold snake oil at country fairs... Colonel Benjamin Thurston, who says he helped organize Eisen bower’s headquarters in Paris, has making speeches in Maine if NATO PRESIDENT TRUMAN SCANNING THE WEEK'S NEWS of Main Street and the World Truman's State of Union Speech Termed Friendly, Conciliatory STATE OF THE UNION —Was it a wiser or politically minded President who delivered the state of the union message to the second session of the 82nd congress? Was his conciliatory and friendly mood dictated by the fact that 1952 is an election year, or was it an effort to consolidate the majority behind the defense program and the nation’s foreign policy? These questions have been in the minds of every Ameri can since the President’s speech. For the first time in five years, President Truman, who is beginning to show the strain of his years as chief executive, did not go all-out for welfare-state legislation. He made it clear, however, that he was not abandoning any of the things he has advocated since 1946. Rather, he would have the country cone trate its full efforts to defense and keeping economically seund. In this respect he said the stabi lization law was shot full of holes at the last session and “it will be one of the main tasks before con gress to repair the damage and en act a strong anti-inflation law’’. As for defense, he warned that the situation in Korea remains danger ous and that “the Soviet Union is increasing its armed might.’’ The world still walks in the shadow of another world war, he said. But his approach to taxation, compulsory health insurance, civil rights, and other controversial is sues was so amiable that it left many Republican critics speech less. In fact. Republicans, who ob viously were all set for a field day of criticism, found little about which to demonstrate. The main criticism, when it was all over, was the charge that the speech was just a rehash of past messages. Generally, Democrats praised the message. But from the opposition came such statements as: “The same broken record . . “The President’s speech could be charac terized as follows: spend more, waste more, socialize more, give more away, control more, talk more, and blame the other fellow for all the ills of the United States and the world.” The fire and stubborn fight of the Truman of old was so obviously lacking that it seemed almost apathetic to many home towners who heard the address. PRODUCTION —Production of civilian goods for the second quarter of 1952 has been cut back sharply. Defense Mobilizer Charles E. Wilson announced the government has ordered home building slashed by 23 per cent for the months of April, May and June. Automobile output was slashed by 7 per cent and other consumer goods using scarce mate rials were tripamed 10 per cent. This is the general picture for the second quarter: Construction—Home building, now at a rate of 850,000 a year, will be slashed to a rate of 660,000. Only factories vitally needed for defense production will be built, and little material will be available for office buildings, stores, and other commercial construction. Autos—The industry will get enough copper and aluminum to make 800,000 cars and enough steel to make 900,000. Civilian Goods—Most consumer goods. Including refrigerators, stoves, washing machines, television sets, and radios, will be cut by about 10 per cent from the first quarter. Railroad Equipment—Freight car production will be reduced about 14 per cent below the 20,000-car output for the first quarter. Roads—Only the most urgent road building will be permitted. Ships—Allotments to the Maritime Administration will be increased. TAX EVADERS—The Treasury department has launched a new policy that should receive wide approval of the average home town tax payer. The Treasury will no longer let tax evaders escape criminal prose cution if they voluntarily confess their fraud and pay up. The department also took steps to speed up its prosecution of tax evaders, including: (1) Reducing the number of conferences with tax payers about their cases, although taxpayers still will be heard when necessary to develop actual facts; (2) The only persons who can repre sent taxpayers in these conferences must have duly certified powers of attorney to speak for the taxpayer. The new policies are expected to reduce the lag in prosecution from an average of 292 days to about 100, it was estimated by the Treasury department. PEACE TALKS—The Korean peace talks remain deadlocked over the question of whether or not the Communists be allowed to build air fields in North Korea during an armistice. The Reds insist that any ban on rehabilitation of combat airfields would infringe on North Korean sovereignty by interfering in internal affairs. On the other hand, the United Nations says it will not make a peace that gives the Communists the right to build up military forces and installations for further aggres sion. At home, Gen. Omar Bradley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, reports he is hopeful for a workable truce in Korea, but there is one price we won’t pay—appeasement. CLEANUP—President Truman’s long awaited plan to clean up graft in government is under way, although it drew considerable fire from Re publican critics. The President dropped his plan for a special commission and handed the job to Attorney General McGrath. Republicans immediately began their criticism. The general charge was that “a whitewash is coming’’. The President did not indicate how extensive the clean-up measures will go. A number of administration leaders are known to want action which would remove the corruption in government issue as far as pos sible from the approaching presidential election campaign. Truman first asked Federal Judge Thomas F. Murphy of New York to head a cleanup commission. Murphy withdrew before his appointment could be announced officially. What caused him to change his mind has not been made public. One of Russia's newest twin jet planes is depicted in this drawing, re leased by Aviation Age. The trade and technical magazine said it was either e twin jet fighter, night fighter, or ground attack aircraft, recently developed by tjhe Red air force. Its exact designation is not known. THE NATION'S SCHOOLS Rearming Brakes U.S. School Gains The nation’s schools are again facing a serious crisis, brought on by four major factors: increased enrollments, inflationary costs, lack of building materials and an acute teacher shortage. Educators, however, contend that the nation’s economy - is strong enough to support the defense pro gram and the schools. And they in sist that schools are the first line of our defense. A recent survey revealed that 3,500,000 elementary and high school children—one out of eight pupils in the public schools—are suffering an impaired education because of in adequate facilities. An estimated 400,000 boys and girls are not getting a full school day—some are attending school on triple-session schedules. “DEAR PHIL” . . .

SHOPPER'S CORNER By DOROTHY BARCLAY FULL SAIL AHEAD C ALL ’em what you will—post holiday, pre-inventory, clear ance or inventory, there are sales going on you can’t afford to miss. Now’s the time to restock your home, your children’s wardrobes, your man’s clothes-locker, and, yes; your own clothes-rack. For your stores are advertis ing all manner of bargains in things you need. The reason for all this is that the manufacturers are slashing their in ventories and clean ing house, to prepare for the next seasonal surge. And retail stores all over the country are buying those stocks, and offering them to you at prices well within the budget. .So hunt those bargains, lady, but call ’em good buys rather than bar gains. Avoid those crowds around certain counters, where it would take a football-player to grab first choice. Make out your list, with the ads on one side, and the needs on the other. Jot down what you, or your home, or individual members of your family need with one hand; with the other, study and compare the ad for those same things. Check place, price, and make your shop ping plans accordingly. On that list, be sure to mark sizes and pre ferred colors, to save both you and that popular clerk time and trou ble, when you do get near the counter. If it’s draperies or cur tains, or sheets, jot down measure ments. And then, fully armed with all the necessary information, go to town, and good buying! That man of yours getting low on socks? You’ll find wool hose in all sizes and colors at drastically reduced prices at your store—just watch those ads for sales. Under wear? The finest broadcloth shorts, plain and fancy, are on your store- shelves for the asking, and a low asking-price at that! Slacks, in sizes to suit all the men and boys of your household, are slashed in price, just when they need them to start the r early spring. And sportcoats, wool-lined and rayon- sheathed, are down ’way below what you paid for that Christmas present. The chldren wearing out those snow-suits and corduroy pants? Get ’em new ones, at almost two for the price of one. If you’re an early bird, you’ll be lucky in finding ’em in every size you need.

Most woolen snow-suits, says this authority, have a cotton outing flan nel lining. Because of the different shrinking of the two materials, one must be equalized with the other. Use lukewarm soft water and mild soap. Squeeze the suds through the fabric, and avoid rubbjng, whicn tends to shrink and harden the wool en material. Rinse well in water of the same temperature as the wash water, and squeeze the water out gently, without twisting. If you have a mechanical wringer, by all means use it And, to little Mike’s great admiration, the pressing job is already begu^u Marina Mustaches in Korea Get Careful Attentions WITH THE FIRST MARINE DI VISION IN KOREA —Marines In Korea sport thAmost luxurious mus taches this side of an early Amer ican melodrama.
