Coincidental with the gradual
coming out upon the local beaches
of the ladies-and some few gents
as the warming sun extracts
more and more of the chill from
the early spring breezes, I note the
subject of anthropometrics is up
again.
There is, too, some relation. A
very definite relation.
And the relation causes me to
pause to reflect once again, as
have ever Sc many times, upon
what amount of reasoning a lady
of, say, size a uses when she in
sists upon strolling out upon the
beach in slacks. AS you probably
knew before I. a size A is slightly
less than once around bushel
basket. Now, do you have to strain
very hard to imagine how pair
Of slacks would look draped
around a bushel baA,sst?
This is a very touchy subject
with me. One that sets me into
one of my cranks. There is no
couturier this SIDE of and includ
ing Paris who will defend more
staunchly than I the smartness of
a slim, svelte and Willowly figure
in slacks. But slacks were made
for the trim figure and the trim
figure alone. Whether you consider
it a pity, a trick of Nature, or
what not, slacks were definitely
not made fer the opulent figure.
And when I see one of these fig
ures in slacks 1 always wonder
whether she has ever taken a peek
at herself in the mirror with the
slacks on.
The same thing applies to some
of the notions in bathing suits I
have seen already this early. 1t
also takes a trim figure to wear
some of the scant numbers l have
noted, clinically, of course, on the
Wrightsville and Carolina strands.
And while o.. this particular peeve
and it is definitely a peeve! i
continue to wonder why people,
men and women, have such a pro-
nounced tendency to disregard all

parade themselves down to the
sea, or just sit down on the sands

"He Is Risen"

Not since 1889 has Easter had such
deep spiritual significance. For the
Christian world, the Resurrection
means more to the people of the earth,
weary of war and the needless mortal
sacrifices of war, since that little group
gathered at the Sepulchre to find the
door open and Christ risen.
The world has not found it's way
back to peace. The aftermath of the
battle finds nations quarrelsome, with
many ugly spectres abroad. There is
physical suffering in famine-stricken
lands, with unrest everywhere; but
Christ's sacrifice on the cross which
eliminated His ministry, point the way
to the peace He came to bring humani-
ty and the bliss of spiritual life in his
triumph over death. But neither is
attainable without mortal consent and
cooperation.
The Right Reverend H. st. George
Tucker, presiding bishop Of the Episco-
pal church, in his Easter message,
says:
Easter this year comes at a pro-
clamation of Christian ideals needs to
be supplemented by a demonstration
Of the power to carry them into eff
feet. 1t is not our ability to repeat
Christian formulas but our capacity
to live in accord with them that will
win men to faith in the Risen Christ.
This capacity is produced not by our
own striving, but is the gift of God
Goods bestowal of power through
the Risen Christ is not made once for
all. 1t is g continuing reinforcement
through which our own lives approach
ever nearer to the divine standard of
perfection. AS He calls us to new
tasks He qualities us for their per-
formance. Surely on this Easter we
must be conscious of the fact that God
is summonlng His church to fulfill a
responsibility immeasurably greater
than any which He has assigned to us
in the past. Not only is it worldwide
in scope, but it's fulfillment involves
problems which have hitherto baffled
us -. Shall we not then on this Easter
seek those things which are above
where Christ stitch on the right hand
of God? At such a time as this we
realize only too clearly that we are not
already perfect, that our present lives
are an insufficient witness to a. power
adequate to meet the worlds needs.
Easter assures us, however, that He
who raised up Jesus will enable us to
walk in newness of life. The problems
that confront us may from our human
level seem impossible of solution. Yet
Easter reminds us that the Resurrect-
ion which we celebrate proves the
truth of our Lords pronouncement.
The impossible things af men are
possible with God'."

rect link between this and the
Iranian crisis.
AS American officials view the sit
uation, if UNO's pledges of security
for all nations mean anything at
all they mean that Russia has no
right to maintain an army in Iran
beyond its agreements with the
Iranian government.
This is the critical point of the
forthcoming test in the Security
Council. If Russia persists in its
course, what can the council do to
force change, if anything?
The case is viewed also as an
equally important test of Russia s
Intentions to work within the UNO

In relation to this issue, such in
cidents as that centering about Mr..
Rossow are considered by Washing
ton officials to be important only in
as far as they indicate the tensions
and dramatize the conditions now
existing in Iran.
Mr.. RosSoW, who Is accredited to
Iran as an American vice consul
and thereby entitled to diplomatic
considerations, was held by Soviet
sentry at a command post on the
outskirts Of Tabriz approximately a
half hour until his identity was
established.
What he was doing and whether
he was recognized Immediately as an
American, the State Department did
not say. However, it reported that
after his identity became known the
Soviet consul general expressed his
regrets and blamed the trouble on
the sentry's misunderstanding.

Dollar Steamship Lines
Suit AGAINST u. 5. Reversed

The Court of Appeals today re-
versed and remanded to District
Court suit brought by the Dol
lar Steamship Line of California,
seeking to permanently enjoin the
United States Maritime Commits
sion from selling certain stock, and
seeking return of the stock.
The Government contended that
the suit in effect was against the
United States, which had not con-
sented to being sued, and that the
complaint failed to state cause of
action.
District Court had granted a tenn
porary restraining order preventing
sale of the stock by the commission,
pending an appeal of the case.
The suit against the Maritime
Commission sought to prevent sale
of 2,386,243 shares of American
President Line Stocks. The stock
was represented as being worth So
100000 and the Dollar interests
claim, through Attorney Clinton M.
Hester, that it was turned over to
the Maritime Commission as addi-
tional security for Indebtedness by
the former Dollar Steamship Line
of Delaware, now the American
President Lines, Ltd.
The Indebtedness, according to
the plaintiff, amounted to $500 900,
but they claimed that this sum has
been fully paid, and a return of the
stocks is sought.

On Anacapa she might we'll have

contained precious emergency ra-

In front of these surprising dis

Anderson Urges Cut
lin Grain for Cattle
To Help Feed World
BY The A.soe;o,.d Pr.ss

INDEPENDENCE, Mo-, Mar. 1s.-
Secretary Of Agriculture Anderson
today called on farmers to 'sacri-
flee" by feeding livestock less grain
and put it. on the market now for
the starving peoples of the world.
. Mr.. Anderson, in an address for a
farm bureau meeting in President
Truman's home county, said it still
is profitable to feed grain at higher
prices.
But, he added, "the farmers sac
rifice in doing the right and humane
thing now may well be bread upon
the waters, flowing back in the form
of continued strong demand for
farm products throughout the criti-
cal period Of reconversion."
Mr.. Anderson appealed to farm
families to assume a triple re-
Sponsibility-''to save food as all
other consumers do, to conserve
livestock feed and to produce the
food called for in the 1916 pro-
duction goals"
Urging every American to cut
his or her bread consumption at
least three slices a day, Mr.. An
derson pointed out that latest re-
ports show:
The world this year is producing
IL per cent less food per person
than before the war, and that in
Europe. where wheat production is
36 per cent below prewar figures,
the difference is 20 per cent.
In an interview at Kansas City
last night, Mr.. Anderson brought
his opposition to the Pace farm
price bill squarely into the open
by his contention that its enact
ment would lead to imitation and
wreck the whole stabilization and
lprice control program"
Mr.. Anderson made his de-
partment's first public pronounce
ment on the measure, which would
require inclusion of farm labor costs
in figuring farm parity prices.
The Secretary said enactment of
the bill would bring a new round
of wage demands" and while if
would bring higher parity prices
now it would produce lower ones
| in periods Of depression because
farm wage rates go up further
and down further than prices paid
interest and taxes"
