bulls usually have large horns. The
horns vary widely according to
breed and sex. and there is consider

They pull heavy drays and the best

These bumped creatures are very
different from the cattle known in
Europe and the United States. They
never seek shade Goodness knows
one would think they would like to
retire from the direct rays of the

stand knee-deep in the water.
However, the Brahman cattle in
America have been bred with other

and characteristics of American cat

health is generally better.

unless he happens to be very near
his house. If he thinks he haSn't t
already been seen he trusts to lying
stretched out fiat on the ground in
the hope that he will not be seen.
If he Is surprised by foe whom he
thinks he has the least chance
against he trusts to his teeth and
claws and fights. for there isn't a
drop of coWardly blood in Digger.
But If an enemy against whom he
has no chance suddenly appears he
trusts to his claws, his great stout
claws, and his wonderful ability to
dig. You see Digger the Badger be-
lieves In doing we'll whatever you
can do. So because he can dig he
has made himself the best of all
diggers.
When he saw that Farmer Brown S
Boy was between him and his house
and had seen him he wasted no time
in trying to run. which he knew
would be quite useless. He knew it
would be of little use to fight. There
was lust one thing to do. and that
was to dig himself out of sight. My,
nv, my how he did make the sand
fly! If those stout legs of his couldn't
move fast enough in running they
could in digging. Yes, sir, they GER
tainly could move fast then. The
sand flew out behind him in cloud.
Farmer Browns Boy gave a whoop
and ran forward. but by the time
he reached Digger the latter had
nearly disappeared and the sand was
pouring out of that brand-new hole
st rate that meant that in a
iiffy Digger would be quite out OF
sight. In fact there was nothing
hut his funny short tail left above
ground when Farmer Browns Boy got
there and that was disappearing at
a rate that left no time for thinking
Farmer Browns Boy didn't stop
to think. He wanted to see Digger
close up, and there was only one
way to do it, and that was to pull
him out of that hole he was digging
so fast. Farmer Browns Boy leaned
over and grabbed that funny short
tail.

He didn't have the least doubt In

Id Rather Be Rioht-

ator George has succeeded in hay
ing food prices hiked.
The first step was to kill subsidies,
which might have cut food prices
back. But Congress can't stop there.
What's the good of killing subsidies
If food prices remain where they
were afterward? The second step is
now under way. Senator George
wants "readjustment of ceilings"
which will "equalize" prices, mean
ing raise them. Aren't higher prices
a change on the home front?
No, those you can change. That
doesn't count, so long as you keep
your hands off'n that old drugstore
o. mine.
Move In for Kill.
These sentimentalisms about not
changing anything on the home
front while the boys are away are
merely kind Of camouflage. Con-
gressional commandos wear those
phrases on their hats, like branches,
as they move in for the kill, intend
ing to bring about the most serious
of changes.
If the boys abroad do not want
anything changed, it is pretty clear
whom they ought to be sending
their V-mail to.
The administration is, almost
pathetically. trying to hold on, to
keep things from changing, while
the would-be changers move in to
alter everything, under the slogan
that they are against change. They
are against change, and, bang! there
goes another agency, maybe the one
which financed the purchase of the
farm Of the father of a soldier boys
aunt.
1t would seem like fairer ball to
pause until the soldier boys come
back before making those changes.
1t is grotesquely unfair to do all this
while pretending merely to be wait
ing for a trolley car on dear old
unchanged Main street.
Evening star., 1943-07-01

though that meant a serious change
on the home front.
There might even be a soldier boy
or two serving in the fond belief
that there is an Office Of War In
formation functioning back home,
and he might be distressed to find
that all that had been changed while
he was away.
One wonders whether brother, in
the services, is concerned about
sisters ability to buy ice cream
down at the corner drug store near
ly so much as he is concerned about
mothers ability to buy anything at
all, what with rising food prices.
Want Food Price Books.
But there is Senator George, and
also Herbert Hoover, and also Sen
ator Taft, all arguing, in various
guise, against food price control,
and their voices really join, and the
burden of their song is that food
prices must rise.
Won't food price rise be a seri-
GUS change on the home front?
Doesn't it conflict with the opposi-
ton promise not to change any
thing on the home front while the
boys are away? The sentimentaliz-
ing about dear old Main street, how
it mustn't be changed by the bu-
reaucrats, is a kind Of obscurantist
cover for q legislative blitz which
aims at much more serious changes.
We are shipping the boys out right
along now, and most Of them are
leaving under the impression that
this country intends to control the
cost of living. Is all that going to
stop while they are halfway over
seas?

recent retirement of Chester
Davis as food administrator.
They wondered whether there
was q concerted move on the part
of the New Dealers now to elimi-
nate Jesse Jones-frequently q
thorn in their sides.
The charge that Vice Presi-
dent Wallace flung at Secretary
Jones was no minor one. He
claimed MIR. Jones deliberately
had fumbled and mismanaged
the building in this country of
stock piles of strategic war ma
terials-and that he and his aides
had prevented the Bureau Of
Economic Warfare, by failing to
give promptly the RFC funds re-
quired, from getting these neces-
sary materials.
Flare-up De2lored.
This latest f1are-up Of pickering
between these agencies of Gov
ernment, in the opinion Of some
Senators and Representatives,
was unfortunate, giving as it does
a definite picture to the country
of division in Washington-and
in the innermost circles Of the
Governmental q time when
unity IS needed.
1t has been no secret that for
months Mr.. Wallace and Mr..
Jones have not gotten along. But
the point was made by members
of Congress that their differences
should have been settled, with
either the President or War Mo-
bilization Director Byrnes as
umpire.
One important Democratic
leader in the House, while pri-
vately expressing regret that the
row should have been dragged
into public view so vividly, said
that it might be a good thing for
the country to have these differ
ences thoroughly aired and the
problem correctly solved. He was
not willing, however, to say
whether a resolution introduced
by Representative Wigglesworth.
Republican, of Massachusetts,
calling for an investigation of the
whole controversy by the House
Rules Committee, should be
adopted.
The Massachusetts, member, in
presenting his resolution, called
attention to the charges made by
the Vice President that Secretary
Jones had obstructed the acqui-
sition of critical materials re-
quired for the war and had i'm
peded the delivery of essential
materials to Gen. Douglas Mac
Arthur in Australia.
Cartel Influence Seen.
Division of authority, bung-
ling and incompetency cannot be
allowed to continue on the home
front without undermining the
war effort" Mr.. Wigglesworth
said. Obviously this is true. But
unless there is some kind of an
investigation, and all the facts
brought out, the American peo-
pie will remain totally In the
dark, and distrustful. Mr.. Jones
has said he would welcome a con-
gressional inquiry, and it would

This Changing World

q fairly sizable Allied force Is
poised for an invasion of the
Mediterranean islands and pos
sibly Southern Europe itself. In
support of this contention, it has
been reported that the Nazis are
withdrawing large forces from the
Soviet front, but the Russians
deny any such withdrawal.
So far as Is known here. the
Russians do not subscribe to the
theory Of the Axis jitters. They
believe, according to reliable re-
ports, that this war Of nerves
would have been far more devas-
tating on the German people had
Allied invasion barges and troop
transports been sighted in Chan
mel invasion ports.
Whole Front Inactive.
So little do the Russians believe
In the stories Of wholesale with
drawals from the eastern front
that instead of hitting the Nazis
now, they have been fairly mac
tive on the entire 2,0O0-mile front
for at least three weeks.
We know the Russians have
their entire striking force con-
centrated at the front, with the
bulk of it on the Kharkov-Lenin-
grad sector. A Russian attack II
that area at a time when the
Nazis are pulling out no fewer
than 10000 men would be logical
from a military point OF view.
Yet nothing is happening.
Competent American observers
also are skeptical about the re-
ports. They believe the Nazis
are moving some troops to South
ern Europe from the general re-
serve pool in the Reich and that
satellite divisions, mainly Hun
garian and Bulgarian, are being
shifted, since the Hungarians are
no longer needed on the eastern
front.
Grumbling Clear.
The Russian grumblings at
their associates strategy are be-
ing clearly heard in Washington
and London. The Russians ap-
pear willing to give our strategy
the benefit Of the doubt and wait
and see what it will yield. But
they are frank in saying that as
far as they are concerned the
maximum benefit will be clearing
the Mediterranean.
The Russian leaders are frank
ly worried about food conditions
in Russia. They told us so in
plain words at the recent food
conference at Hot Springs, Va.
Although large quantities of food
instead Of arms and ammunition
are now being dispatched to Rus
sia, they will barely suffice If Rus
sia must continue to feed the mil
lions of soldiers at the front.
There will be little to spare for
the industrial workers and moth
ing for the non-combatant pop
ulation.

least satisfactory to the Soviet
military leaders.
They do not want the war in
Europe extended into 1914 and
possibly longer.
Judging from the disposition OF
the Soviet troops, the Russians
hoped that their Allies would
start an invasion of Western
Europe at the same time they
were opening an offensive against
the Nazis. Italy and other re-
gions of Southern Europe then
would fall into the Allies lap
like ripe plums, the Russians felt.
There seems to be no doubt
that Premier Stain and his chief
military advisers reckoned on
major Allied offensive In the
west this summer. The Russian
forces were to ward off any ma
jor Nazi assault by placing in the
battle line everything they had
and, after the failure of the Nazi
offensive, the Red armies intend
ed to start a counteroffensive
and synchronize it with the ad-
vance Of the American-British
forces from across England.
Never "Sold" on Drives.
In the view OF the Russians,
such military strategy would have
brought the European war to a
successful conclusion in less than
a year. The Soviet strategists
were never sold" on the African
and Mediterranean campaigns.
They are said to have argued
since before the invasion of
Africa that both operations,
while spectacular In nature,
would not hit the heart of the
Reich soon enough and would
detract large Anglo-American
forces from their main field of
operations across the Channel.
The publicity services OF the
United States and Britain are
accenting the importance Of the
operations in Southern Europe
and the Mediterranean. It is i'm
