Because malaria was intensively studied for years the Army knows how to cope with it in parts of the world where it is impossible to drain swamps and fight mosquitoes Because China needs food the program of agricu- tural research and rural reconstruction is carried out as if there were no war Because cultural values must be preserved libraries and museums are sup ported and the social sciences encouraged.
 Despite the it is astonishing how much the Foundation has succeeded in accomplishing. There no slackenng of effort where science still be practced Research in what is still called pure sci ence is regarded not luxury but as necessity. The sum of S8,227,367 is trifle at time when more than that is spent in hour of war, yet it does much to keep the lamp burning and to pre- serve cultural pattern which it would be difficult to re-esabsh if research in the natural and social sciences were completely ignored

PROGRESS INTERRUPTED

Because of the war the 2o0-inch telescope can- not be completed Physicists who devotng their lives to probing the secrets of the atom have abandoned their cyclotrons to improve death dealing weapons. Mathematicians who once constructed new relativisc universes solve problems in balliscs Biochemsts who studied the chemical process of the body and searched out new vitamins and hormones deal with the problems of nutrition. Progress has necessarily been interrupted to wage which is struggle for cultural survival.
 What this interruption means is apparent in the present report of the activities of the Rockefeller Foundation which for many years has encouraged research wherever there distinguished scientists and good laboratories The appropriation for l942 of $8227 867 was $l 100000 less than for 1941 so that work in the natural sciences of necessity cur tailed There is regret in the report yet an un- grudgng acceptance of the cause for which the war is fought and clear declaration that long time pro- ects must be continued far that is possible for the sake of the next generation.

Man-made Atlantic Islands
CNew York Times)

Man-made steel islands stretching the At lantic each complete with hotel repair shop, radio station. fuel tanks storage rooms and other neces- sares of aerial transport-newspaper readers must have rubbed their eyes and asked questions when they read the advertisement recently in which Ed ward R. Armstrongs seadrome was described. Was this an engineers romance? What will happen in a storm? When MT Armstrong first projected his dar ing structure over thirty years ago he well of the difficulties that had to be surmounted. And that they have been surmounted the Governments s encouragement of ten years ago and the endorse ment of engineers testify. Models leave doubt that in the toughest storm seadrome will rise and fall no more than foot, that waves will pass through buoyant support without breaking, and that the maintenance of stability is assured
 Two decades ago Mir Armstrong located his ar tifical islands 400 miles apart Now he doubles the stages because planes are large, fast and safe. With war transports and bombers travelling several thousand miles a single charge of fuel, with clip pers flying directly to Europe, with 150-passenger planes in sight that will have a range of at least 75O0 miles, the public must wonder whether the seadrome is not already outmoded. The problem of payload is still paramount If passengers willing to stop at islands every three hours MT Arm strong has the solution. His best chance is the cargo plane designed to carry payoad of high intrn- sic value Not that the freight steamer will ever go the way of the windjammer but that the cargo plane offers attractive transatlantic future if it must wing it's way to Europe on single heavy charge of fuel Even in these passenger carrying days the islands of the Pacific well Bermuda and the Azores, have their uses-natures stepping stones. For business MT. Armstrong's care fully developed design is much than Jules Verne dream in blueprint form. The fact that an building company ready to construct it speaks for itself

land, and labor involved. Here are the conclusions:
 l. Hogs will return more calories per unit of livestock feed than any other type of livestock. Whole milk from dairy cows is next in value.
 2. But dairy products return more protein than hogs do, o1 than any other livestock product And protein is a more critical item in the diet than calories.
 3. In terms of labor cost, dairy products are the most efficient eggs are second. while cattle ano hogs tie for third place
 4 In terms of land cost, dairy products yield more proteins pel acre than any other animal pro- duct.
 The final conclusion is that "oul best utilization of labor, feed, and land would require further empha- sis upon dairy production and or complete utilization of dairy pro- ducts"

LESS HOGS, MORE cows

Few people realize the extent of the Washington control over the production and consumption of the nations food supplies.
 By dispensing benefit payments, or by withholding them; by estab- fishing price floors and price ceil- ings; by rationing some foods and not rationing others; by removing some foods from civilian markets entirely, the Government sits like an engineer before an instrument panel.
 A twist of this valve will bring up the production of pork, and a turn of another will alter the eat ing habits of the entire nation.
 The twists about to be made are in favor of higher production of dairy products and lower produc- tion of hogs. Hog numbers have been increased greatly, but h c animals are eating us out of grain.
 Washington experts therefore have made a study of what they call the "nutritive contribution" of different types of livestock products, considering the expense of feed,

 At the same time, German night raiders struck back in reprisal, causing an alert in London and some damage.

DoUBLE-sHIFT sTIMsoN

Secretary of War Henry Stim- sons backing and filling on the Kilday bill, which would give fathers deferment priority over single men and married men with out children, has left the young author of the legislation, Represen- tative Paul Kilday of Texas, slight ly bewildered.
 All in all, the Secretary of War took three different positions.
 When the bill was before the House Military committee, Stimson condemned it as unavoidable. Later, in a letter to the House Rules committee, he took Position No. 2. He averred that the War Depart ment would have no objection" to the measure if the Military Com mittee interpreted it properly.
 Specifically, Stimson took excep- tion to a Military Committee re- port construing the bill to mean that ALL single men and men without children should be 'in- ducted" prior to fathers. He point ed out that because of shifts in population and other factors, no SelectiVe Service director could be sure that every single man in a State had been called up, which might bar the inducing of fathers needed in the service.
 If the phrase, called for in- duction" with respect to single men and husbands without chil- dren) were substituted, Stimson said this would not preclude the induction of fathers and the legis- lation would be satisfactory. The House Military Committee promptly made the desired change in a sup plemental form, stating: There fore, it will be seen that the com nlittee Is in agreement with the War Department as to the proper construction of the bill"
 However, Kilday and the com mittee were due for a rude awaken ing about six weeks later when the Senate Military Affairs Committee voted to shelve the father-defer- nnent bill It developed that the adverse vote was inspired chiefly by letter from Secretary Stim- son. This was the third different position he had taken. This time he stated that the bill couldn't be administered without seriously re- ducing the orderly flow of men into the Army in the proper mum bers and with the appropriate qualifications"

HOROSCOPE "The stars incline
 but do not c0npeW
TUESDAY, JUNE 15

This is not an important day in planetary direction Routine work should engage women of all ages. It is not an suspicious date for making any decision, especially if it relates to domestic affairs.
 HEART AND HOME: Attention to attire is advised by the seers as most important, for they warn that inclination to forget beauty culture will be prevalent among girls who are doing hard work Working clothes that are comfortable will be worn when not needed, the stars indicate, and slacks will be more numerous on the streets than for ferly. Informal dress influences manners, the seers declare, and they urge that old conventions be observed.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Sales of sporting goods and camping mat erials will be brisk this month when vacation days are enjoyed by thou ands who overcome gas limitations. Trailers will gain popularity among families of workers who seek rest and recreation. Large amounts of money will be spent in escape from the constant. contemplation of war needs and war results. In many small country places merchants will profit.
 NATIONAL ISSUES: tain signs are read as presaging Nazi gestures toward a premature peace that will gain supporters in the United States where former isola- tionists will intrude in discussion of postwar plans. Unconditional sur render will be firmly demanded by the United Nations, astrologers de- clare. but there will be much dis cussion of possible leniency, de- spite heavy losses inflicted by the enemy and wholesale treachery as the code of Hitler.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS Marked improvement in shipping and transportation is forecast for next month when United Nations will make great progress in over- coming the submarine menace New underseas craft will be em- ployed by the Allies in epochal con- flict that will hasten the defeat of Hitler. The next fortnight is to make history in battles of such scope and ferocity that all pre- vious war records will be broken.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year oi advancement, but strange exper- fences are indicated for both men and women.
 Children born on this day prob- ably will have talent for the arts Ability to succeed in music, litera ture or in dramatic interpretation may be expected

Repository for Bonds

The fact that nearly 1000 war bonds were
cashed last month is ascribed chiefly to their
owners need for cash to meet income tax
payments. This can be determined by noting
the number cashed in this month and in May
If it is not materially reduced, it will be
wrong to claim that income tax payments
caused SO many to be certified for cancellation.
Instead it will indicate that many persons
are buying bonds either because it is expected
of them, with no intention of waiting for the
maturity date, or else have no place to store
their bonds and, being afraid of theft convert
them into cash as soon as may be.
1t is surprising how many men carry their
entire resources in their pockets This is
right enough as long as these resources con-
sist of money, provided the pocket is but
toned But when it comes to bonds some
place else is to be preferred. Rather than
have them become dogeared or stolen it is
possible that many men turn them into cash,
and so lose their interest earnings and de-
prive the Treasury of the money when it is
most needed for prosecuting the war.
II this is true, and it well may be, there
obviously is need for public repository for
war bonds.

No Reason for Hysteria

There are signs of public hysteria over
food shortages which are not justified by
the facts. Only if there is complete break
down of food production can there be any
genuine threat of famine, and we are assured
that, whatever mistakes have been made in
the agricultural program, there will still be
enough to eat.
But it is inevitable that additional restric-
tons will be instituted with the purpose of
curtailing all unnecessary buying. and closer
supervision to prevent any form of boarding
If any doubt this, it is only necessary for
them to consider that with the greatest Of
all invasions not far ahead and that all sup
plies for all Allied armies taking part therein
must be carried across water, to realize what
and reserves. There will be no way for any
Allied force to subsst ION the land' in Eu-
rope. Hitler has seen to it that despoiled
Europe has no independent agricultural pro-
duction The Nazi armies take all but tiny
fraction of all crops and herds in the lands
Of their conquests.
Whatever the Allied expeditionary forces
eat, no less than all their equipment, must
be transported to the scenes Of forthcoming
combat. And it is essential that the forces
upon which will fall the task of completing
Hitler's downfall shall have an abundance
of food the bulk of which will have to come
from the United States. This country's pro-
duction will be taxed to meet the need
even if there is set up competent and
adequate land army to work the farms and
care for cattle and dairy herds.
Surely, it is little enough to ask Of the
people on the home front that they arrange
their food consumption in accordance with
the available supply without grumbling. Think
what would be our lot if the invasions should
fail, and instead of defeating Hitler we were
conquered and had to endure what is happen
ing in Europe now under his aboninable rule.

Raymond Clapper Says:
FDR Sharply Conscious
OF Failure OF Wilson

this Government and other govern
ments can agree upon, but by
what two-thirds of the American
Senate will agree to.
In practical terms, that means
that the Administration must have
a program that will have the sup
port of senators like George of
Georgia, Tydings of Maryland and
Vandenberg of Michigan-to sug-
gest types that I have heard men,
toned by some friends of the Ad-
ministration. You have to fl n d
something that will carry tn m
along.
The great value of the Ball-Bur-
ton-Hatch-Hill resolution is that it
brings that fundamental question
to head We had been getting
the cart somewhat before h e
horse. What will two-thirds of the
Senate vote for, in the way of
recommendations now? That is the
important thing for everybody to
know, both here and abroad.
The Administration will have diff
ficulty in talking turkey with for
eign governments unless it n
show that Senate sentiment sup
ports its general position.

On With the War

1t appears that just about everybody in the
United States has his own separate and in
vincible plan for postwar security and hap
piness for all, and that everybody is equally
ready to fight for his plan at the drop of hat.
In the Senate alone there are seven resolu-
tons dealing with international postwar prob
lens. Outside Congress scores of others have
been advanced
AS people we are intensely, vitally con.
cerned with the shape of the world after
totalitarianism shall have been defeated-and
We are little less interested in the shape of our
own nation, judging from the internal post
war plans now flooding the mails from every
mist and a publicity man.
This is all to the good. It demonstrates
that the public is wide awake to the fact
that there are pressing problems to be solved.
1t brings the democratic process to bear upon
producing solutions. 1t assures that everv
angle will be explored, every possibility sug-
gested, every flaw exposed.
Eventually, out of such free-for-all discus
sion, consensus will become apparent-a
majority public opinion arising out of the
will of the people themselves and not as
usually in the past, imposed from above by
few professional thinkers
The number and variety of the ideas Of
fered makes it seem doubtful that any spe-
cific, detailed commitment made now would
reflect the considered popular will of one or
two or three years from now.
The problem of how to create and preserve
world peace has confounded the best minds

Pandora's Box

When Pandora opened the box, she had no
idea what was going to fly out at her. But
Germany packed her own trunkful of woes.
While the Nazi hordes seemed invncble it
may have looked like smart business to ac-
cunulate 60OO0 900 war prisoners and con-
script laborers in the Reich. Now comes the
day of reckoning.
It is the British and Americans who are
opening Hitlers Pandora's box AS one in
dustrial center after another is devastated
by tons of huge bombs, Germanys unwilling
guests-hungry, cold and bitter-escape to
prey upon their enemies.
Uneasy rests the head that sought to rule
the world.
