Beverage Purchases

OF the 80 billion dollars that con-
sumers spent for goods and services
in 1913, six billion dollars we're ex-
pended for alcoholic beverages, the
department of commerce revealed.
This brought expenditures for liquors
up to SAG per person, compared with
$50 in 1912 and $26 in 1889.
Despite the record expenditures
for alcoholic beverages, however,
less liquor was actually drunk, price
increases accounting for the rise.
Less than IA million gallons of hard
liquor we're consumed in 1943,
compared with 88 million gallons in
1912. Wine consumption dropped be-
low the 1912 level of 112 million
gallons.
Total beer consumed increased
during 1913, however, chiefly be-
cause of a rise in demand from 10
million to A million barrels of the
bottled type.

SOLDIER VOTE:
COMPROMISE Bill

In an effort to give servicemen
overseas every chance to vote and
yet protect states rights in super
vising elections, congressional con-
ferees drew up a compromise bill.
Under the bill, servicemen over
seas from states with no absentee
voting laws could use the blank fed
eral ballot with only the names of
the political parties designated if
their governors approve, or, service
mel from states with absentee vot-
ing laws could only s the federal
ballot if they fail to receive their
state ballot by October /.
So far, 20 states are reported to
have adequate absentee voting laws,
while nine others are considering
such laws or about to convene their
Legislators to take up action on the
issue.

Alaskan Troops Pass Up
Dinner; Puppy Missing

BETHEL, ALASKA.-The misad-
ventures of a white malemute puppy
recently had this snowbound garri-
son on the Kuskokwim river in a
turmoil. The pup, one of a litter OF
five born under the mess hall, wan
dered away from his mother and

The mess crew under Sergt. Earl

dinner and began organizing search
parties, while the troops who ar
rived for dinner charitably decided
finding the pup was more impor-
tant than eating, and joined the

COLLEGE EDUCATION:
Would Change Titles

Claiming that professors titles do
not always reflect the real achieve
ments of their holders, President
Robert M. Hutchins of the Univer-
sity of Chicago proposed abolishing
all teaching distinctions like profess
sor, associate professor, assistant
professor and instructors, and call
ing them all merely members of
the faculty.
Hutchins' proposal was his latest
in a long list of changes he has rec
commended for streamlining higher
American education, the most noted
one adopted so far allowing students
to complete an ordinary four year
course in two years.
Under Hutchins' latest plan, nei-
Their present salaries nor jobs would
be affected by classifying all teach
ers merely as members, but some
complained that in hard times when
compensations would be stabilized,
they would not be able to Offset
economic loss by obtaining more
prestige through higher titles.

about disposition of northern Finn

AGRICULTURE:
Corn Ceiling Sticks

Shortly after OPA had advised the
Chicago Board of Trade president,
Philip O'Brien, that the $1.16 price
ceiling on corn would stick through
1914, the War Food administration
announced ALLEGATION of wheat for
food, feed, alcohol, export and lend
lease would begin before June.
In testifying before a senate agri-
culture subcommittee, O'Brien advo-
Gated a Sl.45 corn top to relieve the
drain on wheat for feeding hogs,
since price supports On pigs make it
more profitable to fatten them than
sell grain on the market.
O'Brien's statement that the
try was consuming more wheat than
it produced was substantiated by
department of agriculture statis-
tics which show that over one bill
lion bushels of the grain disappeared
in l943 against harvesting of $50
million bushels

ARGENTINA:
OueU Revolt

Turbulent South American politics
took another dramatic twist with an
Argentine army officers attempted
revolt against the new government
of ultra-neutral Gen. Edelmiro Far
rell, which ousted ex-President Pc
dro Ramirez because his regime
was inclined toward a declaration of
war against the Axis.
Because the powerful "Colonels'
Club of army chiefs was behind the
move to replace Ramirez, however,
the rebellious officer found himself
standing alone, with no indication
that his 1000 troops were painting
for action. After marching from the
capital of Buenos Aires, the rebels
surrendered Internationally.
Argentina's swerving back toward
a strict policy of neutrality after the
Ramirez governments wavering
away from it, revealed that coun-
try's insistence on maintaining it's
complete political independence,
linking it up with its sister republic
of Bolivia to the northwest.

Although war has not come to Ire

Shannon flows, with lack of materials
contributing toward the closing of
many industries.
Recruitment of 10000 Irish for
work in Britain, and enlistment of

army have helped relieve unemploy-
ment in the country, however. Even

WOOL:

Although the nation now has ade-
quate supplies of wool for clothing,
the two-pants suit with a vest is
still forbidden by the War Produc-
ton board. The reason is the short
age of manpower, since it takes
more work to make those extra gar
ments. It's the same with pleats in
women's dresses, but insufficient
rayon goods for Innings is another
reason given.
Imports of wool from Australia
were not halted by the Japanese
navy, as was feared. Between 500
and 600 million pounds were brought
in last year and in 1912. This, plus
a domestic crop stimulated by a sub
sidy of Is cents a pound has resulted

Mr.. Anderson told his listeners of
the three major methods of remov-
ing water from the Colorado which

would be by construction of tun-
mel I39 miles in length which would
empty into the headwaters of the
Verde River and later be diverted
to a storage point behind one of the
lower dams of the Salt River pro-
ject: gigantic pump project
wherein water is lifted from Lake
Havasu behind Parker dam to a
highline canal and fed into the Salt
River project and through 72-mile
tunnel from a dam to be construct
ed at Bridge Canyon emptying into
Bill Williams river.
Colorado river water would be
brouaht to the Casa Grande valley
through a high canal and into q
reservoir site we'll above the
Ashurst- Hayden diversion dam as
well as a second route entering the
Gila above the present diversion
dam and bridge above Sacaton.
