latively small. They compared
with $4,000 last Saturday.
Buying again was based partly
on hopes of ceiling boosts or elm
nations. Easing Of international
tension through the Stain inter-
view was helpful but brokers sug-
gested this, as in the Friday ses-
sion, was minor influence. Many
customers held aloof or shortened
accounts to await next weeks meet
ing of the UNO security council.
Doubts regarding earnings and
dividends continued as restraint.
The Associated Press 60-stock

CHICAGO GRAIN

CHICAGO, March 23-P)-Grain
futures prices moved ahead today
despite somewhat strong resistance
at times, particularly in oats.
Commission houses generally
were on the selling side, while 9TH
er interests who felt their short
positions over the weekend would
be none too secure in view of trade
gossip emanating from Washing
ton, were strong bidders to cover
commitments.
The most compelling of the
Washington rumors was that the
House Food Investigating COM
mittee probably soon would recon-
mend another advance in ceiling
prices of all grains in the hope Of
relieving scarcities in commercial
channels and increasing the acre
age of grain paintings.

Protocol on Whales

WASHINGTON, Aug. 15-(NEA)-H you have the dog days feeling that romance is dead and Wash ngton is very dull place indeed, you'll be cheered to know that just before Congress adjourned the high and mighty Senate Foreign Relations Commit tee approved and the Senate ratified without dis senting vote, new international protocol on pelagc whales.
 pelagic whale is one that lives in the ocean. Land whales and flying whales aren't covered by the protocol
 Somehow the front pages overlook these impor- tan things, but don't be deceived by this particular protocol It doesn't prescribe the etiquette for monies of state when whale meets whale does it dsgnate which spoutS first
 Seriously, this whaling protocol is treaty It drafted last fall in London by representatives of the U S.. U. K, Australia, South Africa, Canada, Denmark, France, Mexico, Netherlands, New Zealand and Norway These, plus Russia and Japan are the leading whaling industry countries of the world.
 Remington Kellogg of the State Department, Dr. Ira N. Gabrieson of the Fish and Wildlife Service Dr. Hilary J. Deason, leading American authority whales and half dozen other experts represented the U. S. Government.
 The conference called by the British. Whaling was practically suspended during the When the last shot had been fired the British Food Ministry amended to permit the British to catch whales What they wanted more whale oil, so they could make margarine they could increase the British butter ration.
 Behind this proposal was the fact that Britain and Norway were the only, countries that had any factory ships left These factory ships equipped to haul, the whale right up on deck, cut it hp in chunks and render it for ofl with minimum of lost time and fat The British had three of these ships, the NorwegianS six.

DANGERS OF BUTTLING

 It cost the Earl of Warwick $76- odd the other day to get his treeas- ured butler back, but even so the nobleman should consider himself fortunate. There was the case of the humorous author you know. But that is getting ahead of the story before we start it.
 The Earl's butler was a bettor who was better buttling than bet ting. While the Earl was away the butler would play-the horses. One day he tried to raise money on the Earls diamond studs. got caught and had to appear in court. But the Earl came to his rescue. The Earl pointed out that. after all, the butler got them out of a very old vest. He made other ex- cuses for the butler, according to reports from London. The court caught on" and imposed a fine instead of jail sentence. The Earl paid, and got his butler back

 The moral? It is this: If you want to keep a f1rst-class butler, it is better to be an Earl than a humorist.

It the British Food Ministry's idea that if the 1887 restrictions could be taken off whaling, they and the Norwegians could do whale of busi- ness But the Norwegians, who know about whale biology than anyone else, said that this bad plan.
 The worlds whale population has been declining steadily in the past 100 years due to unlimited hunt ing. If whale stocks to be maintained, whaling would have to be rationed
 It takes four years for whale to reach legal size and have calf. In spite of the fve-year whaling holiday, though, when the Norwegians got back to the Antarctic last winter they found that the whale population had not gone up,
 The U. s. delegation supported the Norwegians and opposed the British. In a-nght session, big Doc Gabrielson and his colleagues drew up protocol of their and put it before the confer reached.
 The number of whales that be taken this season, beginning Dec. and ending next April T, cannot exceed l600O blue-whale units Section four of the protocol says that one unit equals one blue whale, two fn-black whales, two and one half hump-back whales or six sci whales.

WASHINGTON-The time worn political strategy which consists of playing up what is called outsde interference" is being exploited in primary campaigns this season more than in past years.
 It has been emphasized particularly with regard the South but 1t Is by means confined to that section.
 Outside interference defined in the political lexicon is when some organization outside
 state dares say something about the personalities and issues in a state election, either from distance visit to that state.
 It is outside interference" for example, when the President raises his voice against member Of his own party, though the member is from the Presidents native state where the President several times has been elected to public office The issue, too in that case, national For the member of Con- gress from MT. Trunans Missouri, Rep Slaugh- ter, trying block the Presidents legislative program which affects the people of the whole nation
 It is 'outside interference" when people in other parts of the country, political writer's magazine writers or others have something to say about Sen ator Bilbo of Mississippi for instance. This, despite the fact that what Senator Bilbo does in the Senate affects people all the country. Furthermore, po litical reporters who Senator BboS activities daily probably know good deal more about the Senator and his influence the affairs of the ton, well the affairs of the people of the South and his own Mississippi than do most people who live in Mississippi.

FIRST CHLORINE, NEXT MAYBE FLUORINE IN CITY WATER, SOON EVERYBODY WILL BE
 DRIVEN TO DRINK"
Waterbury, Conn. Aug, IA, l946

Aug. l4, l94o To The Editor,
 Waterbury Democrat,
 Dear Sir:
 I see by tonight's Democrat that city officials are considering adding fluorine to the city's water.
 Our drinking water is now so full of chlorine that I am frankly sur prised that there is room for any other ingredient to be added. With chlorine now and fluorine to come perhaps, the life of one who has forsworn strong drink becomes too horrible to contemplate. Perhaps however, city officials are thinking of adding vanilla flaVoring next tC make the whole mess potable or maybe they'll vary the flayoring- orange in January, red raspberry in season, green corn during August apple juice in the fall, etc.
 We have a suggestion for our city fathers and we think it's a good one. Why not forget about the chlorine and the fluorine and just try giving us good old H20 in the tap to drink?
