BREAD AND FLOUR
 SHORTAGES TO CONTINUE

WASHINGTON Bread and flour shortages for at least another year was the forecast handed American housewives this week despite the start on harvesting another of the nations bumper wheat crops.
 The Agriculture Department re- ported considerable improvement in bread and flour supplies are exepect- ed in another month, but hardly to the extent needed to meet all dom estic an fdamine relief demands be- fore the 1947 harvest.
 The bread scarcity in a number of major cities meanwhile Verged on the acute stage, and an Associat- ed Press sot survey also disclosed the same to be true for meat. Soap, butter and cooking fats ranked next on the list of increasingly hard-to- get items.
 The outlook in the cities covered seemed to be that these shortages would grow worse before the situa- tion improved. Harvesting of the new wheat crop promised to ease the bread-flour picture, but complex uncertainties made the prospect dubious or any big improvement in the supply of meats, butter or fats
 In it's June cro report issued this week, the Agriculture Department said the third consecutive billion bushel wheat crop and the third largest crop on record was indicated by conditions prevailing on June l.

i steamship business. says that it has i been many years since the rate 1 uedule has been analysed and l agerhauled as 10 individual com aodiy ratea and that the present l schedule Of base rates is out of date, and that he would have a study mado for VISA if directed 10
 do so. Thus it is apparent that VISA should re-write the entire schedule
 while 1t still has control and get the Maritime Commission to author
 ize same. The rate on some common ities should be lowered, the rate on some should be upped All items
 should be adjusted one way or tbe other 10 get maximum revenues compatible with the development Of Alaska and that means without any increase in the average overall freight rate.
 According to Mr O'Conners tesi- mony, in connection with which he qualified as an economist who had made a study of the Alaska prob lem, other efticiencies could be in- trodueed such as the palleting of case goods, etc. This refers to bind ing items onto a board into aggTe- gates Of several units such aa 20. eases of milk, and thus cut dowl on handling costs. Many other ideas were suggested as worthy or exploration and possible adoption These included re-yaluing the fleets lowering charter hire as now paid by VISA to the companies, extending railway mediation principles with notifications to the maritime trade, with compulsory arbitration, and requiring performance of collective ly bargained contracts as to both management and labor Of course, some of these advances would cal for legislation by Congress. 1t was also indicated by the evidence that to get efficient service at low rates the method of requiring certificates of convenience and necessity might have to be extended to the Alaska waterborne trade.
 On the subject of new ships, the evidence as to the financial con ditiOn of the carriers and the cost of operating new ships was such us to show that the respective comp anies either cannot or will not pro vide money for new ships, aItnousn they all say Alaska neeus new sutps. Therefore, Congress wall have tO pe prevailed upon to provide the mon ey or the ships and set up suitaDie way to operate them at reasonaDie rates if 1t wants to keep Alaska on the map. Such new ships should gel carefully planned for economlcaI g5- eraUion on the main routes. Some al the older bottoms could still De used for out of the way stops.
 When we talk in terms of gettIte all appropriation from Congress- Ill the form of a ship subsidy or any other kind of a subsidy, it is ap-I parent that the struggle has just commenced. The appropriation re- gently passed by the House for VISA covers only to December 31, 1946. This means that the problem will have to be resolved by December 1946. Because of this time element, l spoke against any further contin- uance of the case and it was eon- cluded as far as hearings are con- cerned. Briefs will now be filed and the examiners report rendered to the Maritime Commission. We will strongly urge that no order for a rate increase be entered pending continued operation by VISA and ap propriate action by Congress.

In Poultney, when a lad, Horace
Greeley set type in a small print
shop. Salmon P. Chase lived and
studied law at Randolph. Peacham
was the boyhood home of Thaddeus
Stevens. Eugene Field, with rec
objections of his boyhood in New
fame, based several of his poems on
local life in Vermont. Few states
have produced so many notables in
all lines of endeavor as hardy,
mountainous Vermont.
Samuel Champlain, French ex-
plorer, was the first white man
known to have seen any part Of
Vermont. When coming from Can
ada, in 1909, he went up the long
lake that bears his name. The first
settlement in Vermont, though short
lived, was also by the French, when
Captain La Motto built fort and
shrine on Isle La Motto. In 1890,
Capt. Jacobus de Warm established
an outpost on what is now Chimney
Point. In general, however, Ver-
mont was no-man's land in the
18th and 18th centuries, mere
passageway for French and Indian
raiding parties seeking the English
farther south and east.
From the earliest days, Vermont
gave attention to primary education.
The University of Vermont was
chartered in 1871. Other institutions
for higher education include Nor
witch university, Mortified, the Sec
ond oldest military college in the ma
ton; Bennington college; Middle
bury college; St. Michaeps, Win
sooki; Trinity, Burlington. There
are three normal schools and two
junior colleges in the state.
One of the browning features of
Vermont is the province of the
Green mountains. Here are found
the highest peaks-Killington, FL
len, Lincoln, Cancels Hump, Mans
field and Jay. The physical geog-
graphy of the state is diversified,
however, with the Vermont lowland
on the west and much rolling coun-
try eastward. The states geology
is complex and extremely fascinat-
ing.
Vermont is nicknamed 1.-THE
Green Mountain State" It's motto
is Freedom and Unity" The state
flower is the red clover; state bird,
hermit thrush; state song, "Hail,
Vermont"

Vermont is pre-eminently dairy
state, with beef, milk, butter and
cheese as important products. 1t is
also well suited to diversified farm
ing and fruit growing. Many sheep
are raised there, and it was in Yer
mont that the Morgan horse was
developed. Both in quality and
quantity Vermont leads all maple
producing states with normal
yield of about 40 per cent of the
total. The $4,000 bearing apple
trees in the states orchards yield
a product of notable quality.
In industry Vermont is noted for
lumber and lumber products, WOOL
en- mills, paper-making, marble,
granite, slate, lime, asbestos, tale,
soapstone, kaolin, ocher and other
products. Steel squares were in
vented in Vermont and are still
manufactured at St. Johnsbury.
In recent years growing num-
Der of writer's and artists have
made Vermont their permanent
homes. Others spend a part of the
year there. Dorothy Garfield Fish
er, who loves her Arlington home,
is one of the states authors. Robert
Frost, the poet lives in SALISBURY.
Chester A. Arthur was the first
native Vermonter to become Presi-
dent of the United States, later fol-
lowed to the White House by Calvin
Coolidge of Plymouth. Adm. George
Dewey, Levi P. Morton, John Deere,
John B. Mansfield, Stephen A.
Douglas, John c. SAKE, Joseph
Smith, Alphonso Taft, Brigham
Young and many other figures in
history were born In Vermont.

likely to be involved once more in
a discussion of who'll play "Am-

it after all. Right now a vote for
Paulette Goddard is registered. In
"Kitty," which has a somewhat
similar story, she proved that she
could do right well by the role.

 Ironically, these first efforts to extend the right of voting among the Negro population of the South have had precise the opposite of the intended effect In Georgia something like 100000 Negroes voted. Did they help achieve the continuation of a truly pro- gressve State regime? On the contrary the calculated campaign of bigotry waged by Talmadge probably brought two white voters to the polls for each of the Negroes, and think it is reasonable to assume that many a Georgian who thinks Talmadge is a charlatan in other respects looked him brake upon too precipate a change in the Souths political system. There is little question but what the same thing true in Mississippi with Rankin Tn sequence, the real position of the Negro in both Georgia and Mississippi has been made It has been charged that Talmadge intends to head the Georgia Bureau of Investigation with official of the Ku KluX Klan.
