a record rate. Nobody could say
what the record was.
The Trumbull's misery began
months ago.
| When she was at Houston, Tex.
last August, crew members were jit-

Capt. Fleming said then that he
was inclined to believe that the cat
overheard could have been the
cause.
The skipper has never permitted
in his a years at sea, member Of
his crew to whistle aboard ship
But crew members didn't know what
to believe when the messboy COM

troubles were reported. Oh Jack

Capt. Fleming said the recent
trouble started before the Trumbull

One man was stabbed when men,
bers of the crew began fighting
among themselves. And between
Venice and Gibraltar, two others
were stabbed.
Police here said they were told

taboo, lay at anchor in the calm Of
Baltimore Harbor today as the
Coast Guard prepared an inquiry
into her innumerable troubles, cli-
NAKED by a threat of murder"

stories were unfolded of supersti-
ton and ill luck that plagued her
Old salts shook their heads.
"They called her a jinx ship-and
that spelled nothing but heap OF
trouble" veteran mariners COM

was sparked, perhaps, when some
one whistled" or when "a live cat
was thrown overheard"

Violence and fear repeatedly rode
with the Trumbull as she crossed the
Atlantic from Italy, with weeks OF
shipboard trouble which her master
said included gun fights and stab

AS the ship rode at anchor in the
harbor here late Saturday, the mas

Palestine Potato

WASHINGTON, July 19-tNEA)-This is proba- ply monkeying with buzz-SaW, but here goes The point is, you have to take these great big foreign policy problems and fit them into something you're familiar with, close to home Only then do involved issues begin to make sense,
 Take for instance this matter of what to do about Palestine.
 It so happens that Maryland is the American state closest in size and population to Palestine Yer mont and New Hampshire may come closer in shape, but they don't have nearly many inhabitants, Palestine covers 10000 square miles and has 1600 GOO population. Maryland's is 10000 square miles, and its population is 100000.
 Now supposing some high monkey-monk com mission from the United Nations came along and said to the people of the great Free State Of Mary land: "Lookit! You people down there have got to take in another 100000 immigrants, quick. The Rus sans have just confiscated the property of lot of Germans in Austria and told them to get out. They want to come to the American zone in Germany but there isn't room So they want to come to Mary land. Get ready to take them in"
 You just imagine how much of a blow-u there would be in Baltimore if anybody tried to put over anything like that the State of Maryland Yet that is just about the formula the U s. and British governments now propose to work on Pales- tine
 Palestine is in the news again. No That's wrong Palestine hasn't been out of the news since the end of World War I-since the days of the Crusades- since the beginning of the Christian era-since the days of Moses. It is the worlds oldest story the worlds oldest problem,
 It has never been solved before, and you can bet your last inflated two-cent nickel that it isn't going to be solved now even if President Truman has just

The Political Elite

shrewd observer American political trends, James A. Farley, recently made the omnOus observation that Il have uneasy feeling that the belief is spreading that people capable of governing hemseves that the problems today complex that the citizens large must of necessity be detached from their difficulties The concept of the political elite is growing
 Why this should be is mystery. Not only have lately the horrible results of the ultimate in central zed authority but comparatively small doses gov al-Wise is demonstrated failure Here country local and national governments have long nerfered with production and distribution o necessities food Dsruptve political activities in retail distribution prior to the stand out today noth ing than ridiculous political medding which hndered rather than helped the of good service
 It is hard to believe that few short years the efficient elements of the distribution industry were accused in legislative halls of being because of the philosophy they epoused of high volume sales at minimum prices It is incredible that than 20 states actual y passed punitive laws deliberately aimed at crppng certain interests while it touch and go issue in Con- gress. Was this sample of detaching the people from their difficulties when five years later government begging for production distribution and fighting to hold the line prices? Our present difficulties will multiply hundredfod if the people don't stop looking government for miracles We forget that prerogatve of the political elite is suppression of the individual citizen.

 It isn't going to be solved because this is merely another attempt to solve it by the same means that haven't worked before By force. By dlctatlon By arbitrary rule repugnant to everyone save the immigrants who would be shoe-horned in
 From World War I on this was exclusively British hot-potato Being completely fed up on 1t is, doubt exactly what makes the Britishers talk the way they do. Anyway, the British sucked the United States in this shortly before the end of World War IT. So half of it is now U S. hot-potato
 This be ssi5 with full sympathy for the poor homeland It also be said with no thought of re- gious intolerance. It needs to be said however, to emphasize mans stupidity and inability to deal with fundamental conflicts.
 If this oldest of history's problems can't be solved by peaceful means how in the world can some of the newer be satisfactorily taken care Of?
 Millions of dollars have been spent propa- ganda, on newspaper ads, on literature on organizing societies to organize drives to do something about Palestine Apparently, these millions have been spent in vain Ii all this money and effort could have been collected in pile, it could have bought and paid for a section of land for every would-be immigrant Even the Arabs must have their price.
 That is not a, facetious observation either. The United States Government in it's short history has purchased Louisiana, Alaska, and the Virgin Islands from other governments. There has never been ans question of title since
 It is dollar diplomacy, you like but it is cheap than fighting continual wars which must inevita- bly be the lot of Palestine If present polciN are pur sued

New South Ahead
by Th0n1as Stokes

That privileged status became most roSeate just when It erumbled under the Civil War. Lovely those who never had it-theugh they fought for it-beeause they thought they might time achieve it. It took the South long time to come out from under the magnolas and the honeysuckle.
 The second step has taken long time, too, which get away from that state of mind left by the crumblng of dynasty But the South is well along this second step now, anyone who grew up in it's traditions always when he returned in these last few years.
 IL is like coming out of a showing of Gone With the Wind" and walking down the street and seeing Negroes voting in large numbers like any other eit The first time such scale since the sos when the white primary" invented in this very state to stop Negro voting because cheap politicians exploiting ignorant Negroes for purposes that had nothing to do with their welfare.
 The Negro has come long way since the sos, even if not far as he might have come with more encouragement Georgia decided that he Is entitled stand on his feet politically, with some dis sent, of course Over 150000 Negroes registered 70 vote in Tuesdays primary, which something in- deed There you have real change
 In the cities and small towns, labor organizers carrying a renewed campaign to enlist work CTS in unions so that they may win by organiza- ton some of the good things Southern gentry can give them. Only 10 years ago they were beaten up and driven out of towns which now are accepting them-accepting them not always exactly with open arms, but acquiescing and no longer using the lash and the constables nighstick and the deputy sher- ifs gun
 It is good to come home again to what begins to look little like the New South that the orators used to promise-though many of the orators did not mean exactly what find. It is good, despite the bitterness and the dark spots, and the demagogs that still rant.

Mairsey doats and fiddle lamsie divie may be gibberish to some peo- pie but it reminds me that wool growers in Michigan used to get a poor crop until somebody discover ed that the soil, drinking water and everything grown on the soil in that region was deficient in iodine, When they corrected this deficiency-by feeding iodized salt or adding minute quantities of iodides to the water or the soil, the sheep began to grow wool.
 Iodine deficiency in soil, water, feed in Montana. formerly caused the loss of a million young pigs a year. When the animals get insuf- flcient iodine pigs are born hairless, have thick pulpy skins, large necks, little vitality Numerous such cases occurred also among sheep cattle and horses, until the ranehers and breeders learned to provide stock with a suitable iodine or iodide and to feed iodine or iodide regularly to the soil.

Yes, some cod liver oil, too Then I moved to northwest Oregon five years ago. continued raising chickens but noticed they had no pep and many died of after I had raised them to maturity and I had to kill many sick ones They had little enthusiasm for feed and wouldn't come when called.

People living in California on locally grown food may not need supplementary iodine so much as Oregonians do, but I tell the world that it can never do any harm, in California, in Oregon, or anywhere else, to supplement the regular diet with the minimum daily require ment of iodine which nutrition an- thorities now believe is essential to maintain vite, and that is the a.

Sound-Dollar Statistics

There lot of interesting figures statistics float around these bearing with them fearful wonder fu implications Follow them in the confidence that figures don't lie and you may possibly find yourself in the midst of half truths and erroneous conclusions.
 For example there is the Bureau of Labor Statistics figure showing that the American factory workers in June at high of SLOT hour, S426l week Then there the New York Stock Exchange an- that earnings of 475 leading American com panies averaged 35 less in the first quarter of this year than in the period of 1945 Whats no o those companies had losses after taxes.
 We just some heads wagging those amounts and percentages For it might to those heads that and richer the expense of industry which provides obs creates jobs and through research expansion and higher efficiency the standard of living and national prosperity.
 Or could to those wagging heads that radical government trying to regiment production force busl to the wall and bring about standardization of basic industries. Or # might that conservative high wages and thus force abors thinking and voting ward the right.
 What the for loss after taxes of the 110 companies? Strikes reconverson, increased labor costs OPA regulations other factors? It would be interesting to know-necessary, too, unless wanted to risk plex diagnosis the basis of one symptom.
 It may that of the various statistics hurled at today deliberately calculated to msead But it may be suspected that their incomplete information often from the habit of thinking of the dollar entity of unchangng vae rather than in terms of what 1t will buy in its relation to other dollars of other days.
 Maybe that is short-sighted thinking But right now there is for cheer in that habit of thinking For long the dollar remains in minds as concrete thing value in itself to be reckoned and sought after pretty solid ground-and long way from runous imitation.
