$50 Buys -Four
Pounds OfPork
Or One Lipstick

PAGE IL ahrd abr dtaord odd
When four pounds of pork sells
for $3.50, il sounds like black
market price on an ultra deluxe
scale. Ii happened. Not in Ameri-
ca. however, but in China.
In report received this week al
Community\War Chest headquar-
teTs a letter from Miss Lu Hui
Ching, dean of women at Yenching
university, was quoted. Upon re-
celving two lipsticks from a friend
in America. Miss Ching wrote:
Il sold the lipsticks for $500
tChinese). Half of the money /
spent buying some eatables for
students and the other half | used
to make pork dish for the women
faculty. Seven hundred and fifty
dollars may sound like aN lot Of
money. but il will buy only four
pounds Of pork"
Considering, however. that Miss
Ching exchanged a lipstick\ for
four pounds Of pork. it sounds like
anything but black market Actual
~. an American dollar can be ex-
changed for 10 Chinese dollars and
will buy a great deal more than 20
American dollars.

engaged in long-range escort for
Fifteenth Air Force heavy bomb
ers to their targets in Axis-occu-
pied Europe. Often there comes a
special mission for the Fighter
group to perform. and Lieutenant
Jefferson was called on for one
such.
This particular mission was 10
fly escort 10 huge transport planes
going into enemy territory 10 re-
patriate American pilots who had
been forced down there. Upon ar
irving at the designated place. the
prearranged signal that was ex-
pected from the prospectively res
cued pilots was not forthcoming
Sensing something irregular inn
mediately, Lieutenant jefferson
and his flight signaled that they
were going 10 investigate. They
peeled off and dove down 10 make
"grass-cutting buzz" Of the vi
cinity.
There was apparently no oppo-
sition offered, so the flight made
still another sweep Of the area.
This time they were rewarded by
cheers and by the sight Of hum

effected the rescue successfully.
Playing For Keeps

had once more run interference
for the winning team, only this
time the game was for the lives Of
hundreds of stranded Americans.
At the time of the actual mission,
none Of the fighter pilots who pro-
vided the escort knew the I'M
portsnce OF their assigned task
Later. however, after having been
commended for their performance,
they came 10 know how much they
had aided in the repatriation OF
many Americans.
After the mission Lieutenant
jefferson said: Nothing has ever
been so vivid in my memory as

RED EARS FOR HAROLD!

Alaska is not alone in its wailings over the land hoardng policies of Secretary of the Interior Ickes
 A recent Congressional hearing held in Salt Lake City on Utah land withdrawals by the Department of Interior brought storm of criticism against which the Department, it is reported, offered sorry defense.
 According to summary of the hearing in the Mining and Contracting Review, "The consensus of those who attended the hearing is that the Depart ment of the Interior made weak showing and that on the strength of the evidence Congress will take action to correct the abuses of statutory provisions practiced by Ickes and his various subordnates."
 Witnesses stressed the fact that there exists no executive right to confer withdrawal power upon De- parment subordinates and that the intent of Congress was that each withdrawal must be executive with drawal, considered and executed by the President himself
 The hearing was principally concerned with an order holding in reserve 2100OO out of 30OO000 acres previously ordered set aside and for which, upon inquiry, the withdrawal order mysteriousy "dsap- peared"
 Jewel Wofsohn, appearing on behalf of the Ickes organization was forced confess that the 2l0000 acres were continued in the withheld category "in the interest of pending legislation (Bankhead-Hil Bill which many informed persons consider plan to create government monopoly in phosphate and potash for fertilizers the time preserving the monopoly" vested in producers at Carlsbad, New Mexico) One witness pointed out protection of the Carlsbad "monoply' by providing for purchases over and above governments production from Carlsbad supplers t provided the bill were enacted.
 All in all, the hearing developed such severe and effective but seldom brought to bear upon a government bureau-with the Department of the Interiors rebuttal falling devastatingly flat.
 Witnesses and others participating in the hearing made such statements We tired of having withdrawals made by every Tom, Dick and Harry

On the "Level'
Cincinnati Enquirer

Every once in while somebody in Washington or the realm of diplomacy or political or soclo- economic circles uses uncommon word or ropes an old one in new meaning and thereafter you encounter it with nauseous monotony.
 We won't cite many examples-were trying to forget most of them But just to show you what we mean five or six years ago somebody troted at brisk pace across the international with that horid word "intransgent" on the end of leash. We're not sure but we think it used to snap at the heels of the Finnish Government. Anyhow it refers to an irreconcilable element or an uncompromising party Obviously it was handy thing to sic on anybody who didn't agree with you We'll sir, for matter of three or four years no Serious Book Public Utterance was complete without judicious sprinklng Of intran- sigent" and intransigence;" in some of the intel lectual magazines the sprnkling became veritable downpour It was ended only when the argument deologies moved from the level o dscussion to the level of sbood-letting.
 "Ideology"-that was another Print shops and manuscript mmeographers undoubtedly kept 1t stand ing in type so much it in vogue It was sort of verbal fraternity pin of the inteigensia casual mention of theological differences usually sufficed to prove that you knew what was going on ln the worlo ever though, of course, you didn't.
 And "level"-that's the current vogue, unless an- other one has come out since we last dared look. When Roosevelt Churchill and Staln began their little tete- etes someone referred to Allied conferences at the highest level" When Foreign Secretaries and such began to participate, they promptly became meetings "at the Cabinet level" Since then it's been just too bad It's been perhaps the most overworked word at the San Francisco Conference-which is say ing something
 The other day we received piece of publicity concerning hotel arrangements It suggested that hotel managers "familarize themselves with govern mental agencies at the local level" They meant we venture to say that hotel managers should get to know the local Federal boards and commissions. As ii, we suppose, they hadn't already.

Which Half Is Bigger?
(New York Times)


 Soviet Russias zone of occupation in Germany is said to cover something than half Of the pre- Hitler Reich though the precise Allied zone boundaries have not been officially published The interesting thing will be to see how the German population IS distributed against German area. Russias eastern half is the more thinly populated part The region is predominantly agricultural
 By far the larger urban population will fall under American and British control Of the ten largest German cities six will apparently be in the western zones and four under Russian controlBerlin Leipzig, Dresden Breslau. But nasmuch as Berlin, though situated in the Russian is supposed to be uder joint Allied control the urban ratio leans heavily in favcr of the western Allies.
 The task of the western Allies in their separate zones will be difficult than that facing the Rus sians concentrated urban population may involve less leg work for the occupation authorities but the urban temper is less uncertain quantity than the rural state of mind, and urban problems are much more complicated. If for instance, remnants of the Nazi regime have plans for going underground the chances are that they will hide in the cities where the opportunities for secret propaganda are better and where in the opportunities for physical conceal ment better.

to go along with the plan of a land army invasion. However, Ar mold recommended an all-out air assault before the invasion to re- duce the enemy's ability to fight.
 Unfortunate fact is, however, that because of the shipping shortage it will be extremely difficult, if not impossible, to do both. If an all- out assault is to be made it would be necessary to give the air force all essential shipping priorities and thus delay an invasion by troops.
 This conflict in opinion is just another indication of the unsound- ness of the present Army set-up wherein generals in the air forces

AIR VS. LAND

On April this column told how Army advocates of big land army and peacetime conscription had got busy about three months ago and drew up plans whereby the air force would be reduced to the same size it was in le36-about l8,000 men. This would make 1t one of the smallest air forces in the world, with few modern planes and little money for experimenta- tion.
 On tlie same day this column was published General Hap Arnold by pure coincidence, submitted a violent protest against this skele- toilized air set-up. Arnold used language which only he can use to warn that the U. s. would be ir for disaster if we did not keep a big air force and allow money fol developing new types of planes
 As a result, the old-line Army boys beat a nasty retreat. A new plan, increasing the air corps 50t per cent lover 1886 is now proposed It would give the air force around 100000 men. However, the bras: hats still want big land army oi a couple sof million conscripted men
