 Now, regardless of the small gains the ETA has made over the ANWU it seems to us that the recent strike which against the cannery owners yet held up shipping and thereby also was strike against the shipping lines, lost great deal for the ETA in good will from Alaskans
 The strike was supposed to be against the can neres but the result that small and large busi- ness men all over Alaska lost money and time as a result of the lack of shipping. In Juneau alone, thousands of dollars lost. Fcod supplies in many cities almost hit bottom We don't think the ETA has anything about at all Because it is this sort thing which reflects against all union organza- tons and which will eventually unless common sense
 used by labor leaders result in legislative curtament of the privilege to strike.

Famine in China
Cincinnati Enquirer

The famine which now is sweeping large sections of liberated China is cid story in that section of the Far East For generations the Chinese people have faced pei iodc shortages of foodand those short ages have taken untold millions of lives; brought untold suffering and sorrow Today history is repeat ing itself and America-as she has done in the past is taking steps to alleviate the situation Even now tons upon tons of supplies moving by land, sea and air into the several provinces most seriously affected
 China,s ancient food difficulties stem from two main causes One of these is lack of transportation. The other is poor soil. Both, in time may be inn proved But the process will be lengthy one. Still China must take certain steps if she is to bring her people even small of security from famines and certainly in this advanced stage of civilization this should be possible
 In large districts of China the people live season. to-season existence Unlike Americans, they lay aside no great of foods take up the slack when bad production years come They always are close to the bottom of the barrel when harvest time rolls round and when harvests fail the Chinese must eat the bottom of the barrel.
 Lack of adequate transportation makes distribu- ton much more cumbersome than it is in the United States When crops fail in area, the citizens have small opportunity to bring in produce from some dis trict where crops have been plentiful Many provinces are without railroads. Few highways worthy of the name can be found in the interior districts. As this written American relief experts finding it neces sary to fly food into suffering communities because no other transport is practical or possible
 Before China establish security from famine, she must so improve her soils that larger and better crops are possible and she must improve her trans portaton systems that available supplies be eff ficently distributed Until such steps are taken her periods of suffering will continue Assistance which goes to her from friendly neghbors help tide her over but it never can solve the basic problem of Chinese food supply

4 On the wool side, one of the most effective back-stage opera tors is Arthur Besse, president of the National Association of Wool Manufacturers. Besse comes from an old New England family, be- longs to all the best yacht clubs, IS treasurer of the North American iacht Racing Union and does his lobbying on blue-chip basis. His field is among New England con- gressmen
 One Senator he cannot sway, however, is Charley Tcbey of New Hampshire. The Besse family, re- presenting the wool manufacturers, and the Tobey family, representing the wool workers. have been on the opposite sides of long standing feud, and Tobey will lead the floor fight to protect OPA.
 Best job Arthur Besse pulled was to get a postponement of a Civil Ian Production Administration or der shifting wool manufacturers

HOROSCOPE "The stars incline
 but do 9lOt compel"
TUESDAY, MAY T

HEART AND HOME
 Those with limited incomes and the inevitable problems that ac- company penury will find tk,e stars kindly disposed to their eff forts to improve their situations, if they will persist and refuse to ac- cept defeat.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS
 Unprecedented demand for their products and an increasing flow of new bor-saving machinery to their fields promise the farmers of this country the greatest era of pros perity they have ever known. Farm ing will grow more and more at tractive to many young men who are willing to work hard and long for commensurate returns in cash and satisfaction.
 NATIONAL ISSUES
 Powerful moral forces will com bine in a campaign to drive near pornographic publications from the nations newsstands. A great relig- ious group will te one of the prin- cipal participants in the drive to enforce higher standards of decency in the picture magazine field.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS
 Anti-Franco sentiment will in- crease despite the attitude of many that what Spain and the Span iards do is strictly their own busi- ness. Francois record and a grow ing suspicion that trouble may be brewing within the borders of his country which will threaten the peace and welfare of the world will inspire vehement criticism of the man and his government. Denials that Nazi scientists are using Spain as a workshop for experiments in new and terrible instruments of warfare will not qulet the fears of some that such operations are now in progress
 Persons whose birthdate this is are promised by the stars: A year of interesting activity including a new and profitable business con- nection.
 Children born today will be in dependent and self-willed, but they will use these traits to reach the high goals which are within their reach.

Jacobs chiefly represent the big textile mills which have accumu- lated cotton and want prices in- creased. Other mills which are short of cotton don't enGluse over increases.
 Most powc11,.. rcrsonage behind Blake and Jacobs is Charley Can- non of Cannon towel fame, probao- ly the wealthiest cotton manufac- turer in the country. Cannon has about one years supply of cotton already on hand, purchased at be- LOW parity which was B cents a pound. With the price of raw cot ton now around 29 cents he can make about IA cents profit for ev- cry yard he sells. The higher the price, the more his profit. No won der he opposes price ceiling for cotton!
 It was Blake and Jacobs who helped push Senator Bankhead into his alleged probe of the clothing shortage, probe which didn't go anywhere near the basic funda- mentals. Bankhead let his friend Charley Cannon ramble on for hours, saying little, while experts like Professor Gardner Ackley of the University of Michigan were cut short with this query from Bankhead:
 We don't want any testimony trcm you. You know nothing about economies"
 Prof. Ackley, of course. was only one of the top economists of the country and chief of OpA's textile pricing division. Senator Bankhead, however, was only interested in proving one point for which he had called the hcaring-the futility of OPA.
 3. Another cotton lobbyist is Claudius Murchison, president of the Cotton Textile Institute, form CT University of North Carolina professor, and former official of the Commerce Department, who, however, restraints his activities Murchison represents many mills which do not have large supplies of cotton on hand and would lose money if they had to buy raw stocks on higher-priced market. Blake and Jacobs. in contrast, re-. present mills with large stocks of cotton and previously acquired.

COTTON IS STILL KING

Of these organized hatcheters of
 price control perhaps the most
 ramified lobby is that conducted by
 cotton-with some side help from
 wool Most people have the idea
 that the cotton lobby is supported
 by cotton farmers, but just the op-
 posite is true Southern cottcn
 farmers, now own cnly about per
 cent Of their harvested crop Long
 ago the great bulk was sold and
 is now in the hands of spectators,
 so that farmers will profit almost
 nothing frJin price increases. Even
 the con ng ccttcn crop unharvest- ed has been largely bought up.
 However, using the "downtrod-
 den farmer as their battle cry,
 lobby 5,s did such an effective job
 for the cotton and wool industries
 tha. their bosses should increase
 their already lush salaries Here is
 the lobbyist rollcall
 l. William Jacobs of the Cotton
 Manufacturers Association; also
 president of Presbyterian College, Clinton, s. C., and close to the Cannon Mills. Jacobs is a charm ing. versatile gentleman who is even vice-president of the U. s. Lawn Tennis Association, and real ly knows how to win friends and influence people.
 Despite his soft-spoken charm, Jacobs did not hesitate to lay down an implied threat to Govern ment officials in March that un- less the textile industry was guar s.nteed price increases, textile man. ufacturers would not produce cloth.

from the guns.
Resembling elongated bazookas

cannon use a new theory of recoil
absorption which reverses the usual
principle of building up chamber
gas pressure to launch the projec-
tile, Army officers explained.
Gases are allowed to escape by
means of a choke ring located in
the breech of the weapon, eliminat-
ing the jarring recoil which would
normally smash back from the dis
charge of such large projectiles.
Heavy recoil and counter recol
mechanisms, tail pieces and crew
protection devices usually used on
mounted field pieces are thus elm
mated.
