THE black markets in meats have been roundly
i demned illegal evasons of the rationing system
and as unpatriotic obstacles to the effort.
But the black markets more than that.
They also the potential source OF serious cpl
demic easily spread by the consumption of unnspected
pork
The disease is trchnosis, caused by parasite the
trichina, which infests swine.
Pork sold in the black markets is not inspected by
the government
1t is slaughtered clandestney, stored in uncean
places and sold regardless of its condition.
Such meat is quite likely to contain trichna and no
tell its presence at glance.
No purchaser Furthermore, tell whether the pork
has been properly inspected
DIRK is not very welcome item IN the endlease ship
i ments we send abroad:
Our foreign friends afraid of trichna with very
good reason and from long experience.
But pork is being sold literally to Americans and
some of il comes through the black markets.
There is only dependable precauton to take.
Trichna is highly resistant to smoking, picking and
even decomposition of the meat.
But it is readily killed by thorough cooking.
All pork. no matter how prepared should be cooked
a long time, through and through.
No cut of pork should show pink places, which mean
insufficient cooking
PROTECTION against trchinoss should properly

handle only properly inspected meat.
And then, the protection is not adequate unless
the pork is thoroughly cooked

about. He spoke OF political
unity AS a primary assumption,
but the prospective use Of the

tarily does not itself justify
such an assurance.
These factors are just as apt

Certainly if rivalry is TO he

at home but chiefly abroad.
What I would consider more
important than Wilkes views
is what Mr.. Stain thinks about
the future use of the plane and
its political effect. And those Of

Packer Says He Is Loser
Every Time He Kills Steer
BY WESTBROOK PEGLER

DILL TOVREA. one of the
Il largest independent meat
packers in the country who for
merly packed about 90 per cent
of the meat for the soldiers in
Arizona and. IN normal times,
supplied about 25 per cent Of
the civilian demand, has re-
duced his volume TO IS per cent
of normal.
OF that reduced amount, 40
per cent now goes TO the army,
which one way and another, has
large and hungry forces in the
state, and the rest TO the hotel
and restaurant trade. He sends
no meat whatever TO the retail
butcher shops.
He formerly killed about 1,200
head a week.
Mr.. Tovrea curtailed his Oper-
ationS in rather spectacular
way. He telegraphed the Arr
IONA delegation in Washington
that he was losing about $50 a
head on his kill because there
is a ceiling on his prices but no
ceiling on the price Of cattle on
the hoof and ran double-truCk
ads in the leading Arizona pa
pers explaining his position TO
the public.
I SENSE that the public does
Il not clearly understand and
the same goes for me although
l have interviewed two indie
pendentS in Arizona and one Of
the big national packers IN
Chicago, but l do detect some
skcpticiSm concerning Mr.. Tow
rea's losses.
One-fourth of his normal kill
would be 800 head a week now
and at the rate Of $50 a head
his loss would he $4,000 a week.
II is a little hard 10 believe
that he would continue 10 take
that loss Just to keep his hand
in.
The explanation may be, how
ever. that he has other interests
which would help him to stay in
action. He processes cottonSeed
and makes lint for explosives
and cottonseed meal and eX-
tracts for oil for shortening, and
he also buys and fattens range
cattle.
In this phase Of his opera
tions, he gets the benefit Of the
unrestricted price Of meat on
the hoof which he complains Of
in his role Of packer.
THE cattle on the range in
l. southern Arizona, and in
Sonora, Mexico, is terribly sorry.
Scrawny stock, somewhat worse
than usual just now because Of
the drought last year.
The poor hruteS arc weak and
bony from undernourishment and
il is necessary 10 ship them 10
grass 10 put enough meat on
them to make them worth
killing.
Mr.. Tovrea says there is A
lot Of offhand Slaughtering by
thieves on the trails off IN the
desert and some OF the cowboys
have resumed carrying guns, but
there have been no reports Of
any shooting between the cow
hands and ruStlerS.

TO THE EDITOR:
On APRIL 26 Mrs. F. r. Nc
~ Farland of Huntington
Woods replied to my letter
appearing in the April 9 edition
asking the question why the
original square mile site for the
new Detroit airport, situated in
Oak Park and bordered by the
Eight and Nine Mile roads and
Shaefer and Wyoming roads,
was changed to well-populated
square mile site bordered by
the Eight and Nine-Mile roads
and Dequindre and Ryan roads7
She suggests that the reason for
the change resulted from the
objections of residents of Palmer
woods, Ferndale. Huntington
Woods and Hazel Park.
This hardly can be the logical
explanation for the change, be-
cause surely this new site Is just
as approximate to these COM
munities as the original site
, selected, and Hazel Park prac-
tically borders on the new site.
The original square mile site
is situated in Oak Park. and the
village had no objections. This
original site was selected after
nearly year and half Of
study by a committee of air Of
fetal experts appointed by De-
troit.
In the original square mile
area over 20 per cent OF the
land was owned by Michigan,
having reverted 10 the state for
nonpayment Of taxes. and this
state land was offered 10 the
city as A gift. and the balance
of 30 per cent owned by private
owners constituted nearly all
vacant property.
On the original site the WPA
would have graded the new air.
port at small cost 10 the city.
and now after wears of wran-
Cling there is no more WPA and
the city will have 10 assume the
entire cost Of grading.
The new airport If il had been
located on the original site
would have been used exclus-
lively by commercial air lines. so
that landings and takeoffS would
have been less than 20 per day
All expert opinion clearly shows
that an airport used exclusively
by commercial air lines i'm
proves the surrounding area.
and in NO way is il detrimental
10 any adjacent residential area,
The announced new square
mile site contains over 400 pri-
vate property owners and is
we'll developed so that condem-
nation costs 10 Detroit will be
sky high.
Detroit would be well advised
10 relocate the new airport back
TO the original site.
Once again ] wish 10 ask why
was the original site moved 10
a new location7 J. F. NJ.

One World
Neorness Doesn' I Make
Unity. Necessarily
BY PAUL MALLON

WASHINGTON, May s. - A
w substantial number Of CON
slant readers took pens in hands
and lahbcd same into me for my
column crlticizlng Wendell Will
klo'S faSt-SellinG book "One
World "
The amount Of critical mail
was As heavy as | ever have
received in protest against a
column. some saying II was the
only column with which they
had disagreed so sharply in
many a year.
Generally, they pointed out,
Mr.. Willkie advanced no wild
new notions Of postwar, but
merely set forward a reasonable,
restrained accounting of his
experiences in flying around the
world in 40 days. and he con-
cluded that the plane had
brought the nations Of the world
together a physical fact which
should guide us IN arriving at a
postwar plan.
what could I find In MIR.
Wilkes hook TO protest." my
friends asked.
THE basic idea the fundamen-
l. tai principle II set forth, the
premise that Mr.. Willkie adopted
when he wrote the book; the
reason for writing it; namely,
the conclusion that nearneSS
makes oneness Mr.. Willkie has
deludrd himself and obviously
also deluded a great number of
my good readers.
Distances never have had any,
thing 10 do with unity. You may
have lived next door to two
neighborS for 20 years, barely
spoken 10 one and have become
close to another-but not nearly
so attached as To a friend who
lives on the other side Of town.
or perhaps one in Canada or
Labrador.
Oneness is made out of some
thing more spiritually SUBJ
stantial than distance. 1t comes
from similarity of ideals. habits,
customs, methods OF. living.
Therefore, Mr.. Willkie has
erred grievouSly in his primary
idea He is just plain wrong in
his tnitia | assumption that
whereas this was many worlds
before, The plane has made it
one world. 1t is the same old
world. and, as distances have
had nothing TO do with the
establishment of our inter
national friendships. they will
have nothing to do with it.
We like people who like us.
who share our views, hopes, and
expectations, and we will always
continue TO like such people and
dislike others. regardless Of how
fast a few can fly back and
forth.
MIR. WILKES error is
I'1 grievouS, because if we now
base our hopes of peace on a
false assumption we will not
only be disillusioned sadly. but
we are likely to have more inter-
national troubles as a direct re-
suit. perhaps. even war. Only a
thoroughly realistic peace can
be a lasting peace.
The plane, 10 be sure, will
bring new commercial and mill
tary factors into the postwar
world. Some say it may be pos
sible for A debutante TO order a
gown straight from Paris by a
mail order catalog for a week
end party.
Many people certainly will fly
to England in eight hours. A
great many people will use the
plane for passenger service in
stead Of boats, and il is possible
commercial travel will eventu-
ally develop TO an extent not
known before.
From a military standpoint, il
will also be necessary, for our
protection. 10 acquire bases
throughout the world from
which. we may intercept pos
sible air attacks on us.
