food products in interstate commerce.
In Lexington, KY, the Federal Dis

$4,000 fines against eight tobacco
firms while fines of $4,000 were sus-
pended against 16 others charged with

The tobacco firms declined to argue
their pleas and asked that judgment
be fixed on basis of the decision in
three other cases tried five years ago.

Surplus
Time Is Money


One Of the biggest postwar Jobs IS
unloading mountainous StOckplleS OF
war material which the natiOnS mass
production lines speWed out in be-
wildering profusiOr. Time during the
war meant the difference between
victory and defeat. Time during recon-
version means money saved for tax
payers and industry
The War Assets Administration i;
the burgeoning federal agency Charged
with diSpOSing of this war equipment
which cost 80 billion dollars to builu.
To get rid Of it by June, l947, WAA
plans to spend more than half bill
lion dollars-S545. 100000.
WAA may not be able to spend mon
cy that fast, but it plans to shoot the
works on the theory that the faster the
sale, the bigger the net return to tax
payers.
WAA now has a working force OF
$4,000 plans to take on 10000 more. 1t
has far outstripped OPA with its $4,000
workers and is moving toward the
magnitude of such old line depart
mentS as Agriculture, the Post Office
and the Treasury But by next June,
WAA should be a dwarf again, its per-
sonnel pruned as rapidly as sales goals
are met.
Half a dozen new Spcedup policies
are being tested to get goods of the
surplus shelves and cut red tape. On
items badly needed in civilian econ
omy, WAA has set disposal target OF
10 to 80 days, compared with the re-
cent average of 70 TO 90 days
In building materials, WAA is fixing

The Premier Speaks

From the Kremlln, Premier Joseph
Stain made one of his periodic bows
to western custom by answering a
list of written questions submitted by

When Stain makes one of his COM
paratively rare public pronounce

Russia listens.
The most important man in Russia
reiterated his belief that the world is
in no real danger" of a new war. He
spoke reassurlngly of cooperation be-
tween the wartime Allies, declaring
he did not believe Great Britain and
the United States could create a capi-
talist encirclement of Russia "even if
they SO desired"
Premier Stain said he did not be-
lieve the atomic bomb as serious a
threat to peace as certain politicians
imagined.
Atomic bombs are intended for
intimidating weak nerves." he de-
clared, but they cannot decide the
outcome of war since atomic bombs
aren't sufficient for this purpose"
