Investment
Monopoly TO
Be Examined

NEWSWEEK of September 3
says: THE long threatened invest
ment banking monopoly inquiry,
which was slated to be touched off
last year, is about to begin. In
few days the Jusice Department will
ask subjoenas authorizing it to
comb files of some 1900 leading cor
porations to determine whether
monopoly by certain investment
banking groups has existed in the
financing of the companies. 1t is be-
lieved it may take some months for
small army of lawyers and inves-
tigators under Assistant Attorney
General Wendell Berge to go
through the material and decide
whether to present the case to a
grand jury as civil or criminal ac-
ton"

New Films TO
Aid Ore Hunt

Slower airpIanes and faster
color film are expected to play
a mighty part In new discover
les of needed minerals after the
war, particularly in the western
states. The mining industry is
turning eagerly TO study of
these possibilities as well as to
new adaptations and the ad.
vances In standard geOphysical
methods.
Aerogeology is now new science
but its application has been linn
w. S. Levings of the Colorado
School of Mines and others is not
the discovery of actual deposits
but to give the trained geologist
the lay Of the land; to indicate the
presence of likely formations for
closer exploration on foot.
Most traditional mineral discov-
cries have been on outcrops of
igneous rock. When such rock
formations are not visible on the
surface but are blanketed under
up to several hundred feet of over
burden, their continuance under
the plain may often be traced from
the air far out from the mountains.
In such observations, slight varia-
tons in color are likely to be of
major importance. Much soil is only
the decayed surface of rock that is
still in place underneath. From the
air, bands and streaks of soil shades
may often suggest to the trained
eye the presence of rock of different
kinds far beneath. So may patterns
or bands of different or differently
colored vegetation.
Planes most too fast for complete
inspection by eye. Even observation
from the slow flying planes and
helicopters of the postwar period
will require as an adjunct the use of
photographs for further study. AL
though black and white films may
reveal underlying geological struc
ture, and patterns and gradationS OF
shade on the ground that cannot be
seen in ground exploration, the
best of them cannot show the vita
color differentials, And before the
war the fastest color film was toe
slow to take sharp pictures.
Thus the wartime development
of color films with speeds I'm
dreamed of as recently as 1910 viii
add UNNECESSARILY to the stature o
the science of aerogeology. Geolo
gists reason that after study of tn,
color photographs of the future
color variations and gradations il
vegetation or soil may fairly shriel
to their trained senses of a minera
deposit or the presence of a forms
ton additionally associated with
mineralized area underneath.-DeI

pOTSDAM PARLEY
GETS UNDER WAY

At the edge of war-Wracked Berlin,
what well may be the most momentous
gathering in history is under way. Gath
cred there are the government heads OF
the three major powers of the world. 1t
is not an innovation. There have been
previous historic meetings of these pow
erS.
But the other parleys had to do with
war policies The war was raging. 1t
was very present thing. The Axis pow
ers were pitted against the rest of the
world. The leaders met to expand plans
for victory. Never was there any doubt
that the Axis would be crushed Italy
fell and then Germany within the scope
Of time covered by these meetings plans.
Now the third member of the warning
powers is crumbling. The Potsdam par
lev, of course, will consider that much of
the war program.
Outstanding is the fact that the Pots
dam meeting is a fOrerunner OF parleyS
and conferences and conventions which
will have to do with peace Are the vic
torious nations as ready and as united
to bring about strong peace as they
were to forge the tools for victory in the
war?
When the meeting ends will the lead
ers have accomplished the single purpose
dominating the world? 1t is regrettable
that there is not the disposition to take
the public into full confidence and tell
the world Just what they expect to talk
about at the current meeting. And more
regrettable is it that the decision has
been made to keep the procedures of the
parley in the dark. But even so, there
is a full measure of confidence IN the
three leaders.
1t is encouraging to note, however
cautious the Big Three has been in re-
vpaling anything official as to the
agenda, that newsmen and other Observ-
ers on the ground feel certain that the
top topic will relate to Russia's plans in
the Pacific That Moscow has been in
conference with China leaders has be-
come known. But the chief interest lies
in Russias relations to our war with
Japan.
Of almost equal importance is the
need to arrive at a complete under
standing as to territorial claims and
seizures as the aftermath Of the fall of
Germany.
The worlds attention will be divided
sharply the next few days between Pots
dam and the Pacific.

AFTER ALL DOES HITLER
MATTER ANY MORE?

Undeniably, as to the world outside OF
Germany, it would have been better had
it been possible to have captured Adolf
Hitler He would have been tried and
executed, Of course. But long before the
fall Of Berlin and the surrender, the
fuehrer had lost the fanatical leadership
he exercised and had fallen into dis
repute with other reich leaders, and what
was of greater import, he had lost the
confidence (if that is what it was) of the
German people. There is much of docu-
mentarv evidence of all this.
On the other hand, had he been cap
tured and executed he would have be
come a martyr and upon that flimsy
notion the Germans would have waited
only for another of his kind to lead them
in the wrong direction again.
He died a coward's death. He created
the Germany that went through the war,
but he finished wrecking his own crea-
tion when he choose the route out.
Hitler left one powerful lead for the
reconstructionists to follow. He proved
that the Germans as whole not only
willingly act, when ordered to act, but
that they must have some sort of leader
powerful enough to give commands and
orders. In this popularity the Allied

HELP FOR EUROPEAN FARMS
(New York Times)

Announcement by the United Nations
Relief and Rehabilitation Administra-
ton that five European nations will re-
ceive $4,000 heifers, cows and mares IN
the next year and half points to one Of
the major problems in re-establishlng
normal farm operations in areas raw
aged by the Germans. The temporary
c0nquerors followed deliberate plan Of
starvation for overrun peoples. Live
stock of all kinds as we'll as crops were
ruthlessly requisitioned and sent to Ger
many. The extent of losses of farm
livestock is seen in the UNRRA state
ment that the $4,000 animals going to
Europe represent l per cent Of the estl-
mated number destroyed in Poland,
Greece, Albania Yugoslavia and CZechO-
SlOvakia.
To those who question the policy OF
United Nations assistance in restoration
of farm activities, there is d practical
and convincing answer. Experts on the
scene say that the food problem of the
coming twelve months period will be
more acute than at any time during Ger
man domination. This is logical, because
livestock and seed supplies are at the
lowest ebb since war began. If the power
of democracy has helped liberate long
suffering peoples, then the power of de-
mocracy must help these peoples restore
more normal conditions of life. Millions
of tons Of food will be shipped in the
coming months A decent realization OF
the duties of man to man requires 1t.
But shipments of livestock will do dou-
BILE duty. The animals will help restore
farm operations and serve as reminders
to many that democracy is interested IN
a good way of life for human beings.

In the days to come when Californians
and their visitors are renewing their
knowledge of the colorful history of the
Golden State by visiting its historic land
marks, Columbia, ghost mining city of
the famed Mother Lode, will be one Of
their "musts."
Gov. Warren in signing the measure to
make Columbia a state park in ceremOn-

the hope that it can be so restored and
preserved that it will attract not only
tourists and those in search Of recreation
but school children from every part Of
the state.
The Legislature has appropriated for
this purpose $4,000 which Will be
matched by similar amount to be raised
by Californians. The ghost city which
once had hopes of becoming the state
capital will thus be revived to keep green
the memory Of the stirring gold rush
days.
But as the governor remarked the plO-

Of more value to California than all the
