WASHINGTON, Oct. 4-The State Department recently leaked out plan by which the United States to Russias collaboration with Germany during the Nazi-Soviet pact period. The documents, of course, are packed with dynamite. They show Hitler and Stalin in active collaboration prior to 1941.
 However as soon as this information leaked out,
 olotoy sent word to- British Foreign Minister Bevin that if the United States published these papers, Russia would publish certain documents of its own The documents list the sums which Hitler paid to some very important Englishmen.
 Although London will deny it, the Foreign Office is now hoping that the State Department keeps its mouth shut.
 A lot of people both in and out of labor worried for fear Phil Murray will resign as head of CIO. It has been Murrays wisdom that has kept the extremists in the CIO. in check.
 However he isn't getting any younger is in poor health, and wants to resign at the November C.IO. convention in Atlantic City If he does, the CIO. will split into various pieces For that reason many friends are imploring him to remain and the present plan is to re-elect him unanimously
 Lamppost hangings for dctators becoming too fashionable in Latin America
 That was the conclusion of Argentine Dictator Peron who was returning to his palace from late party, when he noticed the headlights of an auto mobile playing lamppost directly in front of his home. On the lamppost was a big sign saying Reserved for Colonel Peron."
 As Peron'S drew to halt, the automobile whose headlights shone on the sign, dashed away. Peron took several shots at the sign himself, sormed into his palace and told aides he could lick any man in BuenoS Aires.
 In the Fall of 1941, just before Pearl Harbor, a group of isolationst Senators conducted smear investigation of Hollywood movies which fell flat for two reasons-the Pearl Harbor attack and Wendell Wikies brilliant defense of Hollywood Leader of the anti Hollywood Senators was Gerald Nye of North Dakota. His secretary-a clever young man who was always on hand to help Nye in his campaign to divide the American people Gerald (Spike) Movius.
 Hollywood will now be interested to know that Eric Johnston president of the Motion Picture Asso citation of America, is taking Spike Movius on his goodwill tour of Europe for American movies. 
 Last Christmas President Truman cOurageOusly ordered the State Department to provide visas for the entry of than 10000 displaced from Europe into the United States. However nine months later the gentlemen of the State Department have only handed out 40OO visas.
 Result: President Truman who has just got wind of this may crack down the State Department and demand the firing of the obstructionists.

NUTRITION FIRSTHAND
(Hartford Courant)

That local vegetarian who is &C., cepting the local meat shortages with equanimity is probably right in believing that the present famine is not going to produce lot of con- vertS to vegetarianism. Instead it is more likely to produce a ravenous desire that will lead honest citizens to snap at the first piece of red meat they lay their eyes on. However, there is one minor point on which there may be some dispute. This non meat eater is quoted as saying that he prefers to get his nourish- ment firsthand, before the COW eats and digests it." Actually, in eating vegetables he is getting his nourishment second hand, for the vegetables themselves have done the primary job of extracting nourish- ment from sunlight and soil. Not until he has perfected the process of photosynthesis can he be said to be getting his nourishment first hand from the suns rays.
 But do not scoff at the vegetar- ians. They seem to do nicely on their herbivorous diet. Some, like George Bernard Shaw, actually per- form on a high level of physical and mental efficiency. We can admire their fortitude and high-minded- ness, however, without wishing to abandon our own desire for large T-bone steak, medium rare, served with a garnish of mushroom sauce but stop, why should a man tor ture himself in this manner?

in August and September. From then livestock prices start going down. reaching their low point along in January then starting Up again.
 Fall is when pad weather and the end of grass drive the cattle off the range About third of them go to the feedots for three to six months fat tenng. Two -thrds-the better anmals-go directly to market
 too Corn is harvested beginning in October and this year there is whopping big 3,400 000 buShel crop waiting to be cut That means end to the feed shortage which limited pig production from 1914
 The big crop should lower corn prices Low prices should mean lower livestock and meat prices, well larger number of pigs raised for saughtering next Spring.
 Lifting price ceilings cattle and pigs letting the prices up-shOuld bring more animals to market this Fall The higher price and the abun- dant should also encourage the feeders fatten more animals faster
 On the other hand, keeping the ceilings on should De only an incentive to the stockman to carry their animals the Winter, keeping them off the market because they knew price ceilings coming off June 30 and the prices then will go higher
 If price controls had been kept on right straight through and if the farmers had known that controls were going to be kept on, all the arguments be- ing advanced by Truman, Anderson, OPA Admin iStrator Paul Porter and others would be true But when Congress permitted the controls go off during July and August they ruined price control for good
 It is difficult to how putting the controls back on can possibly remedy the situation Taking them off for 60 days and then trying to put them again would be worse. It's this off-agan- again policy that wrecks all the perfectly good and sound arguments that be made for price controls in times of threatened inflation
 Price control on livestock, however, is no longer just an economic issue. It's in politics right up to the tip of its ears
The Waterbury Democrat., 1946-10-04

WASHINGTON, Oct. A. (NEA) - Secretary of Agriculture Clinton F. Anderson had better watch out President Truman has just endorsed one of his speeches in full and for any Cabinet member-aS Henry Wallace discovered-that's bad
 What Secretary Anderson said was that the livestock and price ceilings going to stand The President backed him up. All the arguments they advanced were intended to show why price con trols should be kept on, and how everything was going to be all right if they were
 Meat is now the number one political issue of the campaign way ahead of Henry Wallace and foreign policy The administration line on meat seems to be that if meat prices be held down until after election, there won't be any wage increase demands and strikes until after election, and therefore the Democrats will have better chance to win the cleo ton.
 It's good argument if it works, but in this pres entation there has been effort to find out what might happen if price controls meat were now taken off. That's horse meat of another color.
 Nearly everyone must admit that if meat price controls taken off, there would be an imme- diate rise price It should be fairly obvious how ever that price controls taken off when there is short supply of meat animals, prices will way up. If controls taken off when there is bigger supply of meat animals the prices shouldn't go quite high, at least they shouldn't stay high for so long 8 time. Timing is, therefore all-important in meat price decOntrol
 When the argument is made that the July August meat price holiday cleaned out the livestock supply. it is correct far the feedlots concerned But it does not cover the animals on the range or the farms and not disposed of to the feeders They're unknown quantity.
 Agricultural Economics has tap shows that the season when most livestock come to market is Oc- tober to January. The figures also show that live stock prices have always reached their annual peak

 OPA seems to have few friends which is natural m this area But it's former friends find 1t hard to defend because of the confusion thrown about its operations for which, of course OPA Is not entirely to blame Congress must share the blame. OPA ap- pears often in the guise of pr.ce-increase agency to which it's reply is that it is only carrying out the mandates of Congress But few people out here, Ii any, can understand the final confusing form of that legislation.
 For that reason and because nearly every Con- sressman, at one stage another voted on almost every side of the issue and thus explain his posi- tion in any way he choses it that any potency the issue might have had for Democrats has been drained away.

NO CRIME WAVE, BUT
(Hartford TimeS)

While there has been no crime wave" in Connecticut such as some police authorities have forecast would be a natural sequel to the end of the war, there have been crimes enough.
 One of the great needs in this State is a more effective probation system. Another is the elimina- tion of the county jails and substi- tuition of truly correctional institu- tions. Both these desirable inn provements are held back by poli- ticeS.
 One of the most disturbing fea- lures of the situation in this State is the number of sex crimes. Pre- vention of these offenses is more

SAY RESISTANCE AND YOUR QIIACKERY DEFIES EXPOSURE

The common cold, says one of my colleagues, is not cleaN&ut disease, for other infections in the body start with symptoms resembl- ing the common cold.
 That makes it pretty soft for us doctors-when patients come with symptoms resembling the common cold" (by the way, it would take a lot of wind out of my sails, or would you call it hot air, if as many as three doctors of standing were to get together some time and agree on just what are the symptoms of "the common cold") when patients come with such symptoms we can guess it is or it iSn't-and our guess is as good as the guess of the pa tient any time.
 The good colleague goes on to say:
 "The common cold is highly con- tagious. The infection is spread to susceptible persons in the first 25 to 48 hours. Resistance varies
 from person to person, and it
 varies in the same individual
 from time to time throughout
 the year"
 If I thought I had my colleague on spot my delight was momen- tary. Useless to butt my head against the Great Wall of resist ance."
 Not only has no physician of standing, or no medical scientist dared to write definition of "the common cold" but no health auth ority can or will define resistance and this, children, is challenge to all of my medical brethren ano to the health authorities of the country.
 How my good colleagues knows that resistance varies" as he SC kindly explains, is mystery he will never divulge, am sure-fol the simple reason that he doesn't know thing about it.
 No physician can determine ol even guess, any better than you Aunt Harriet can, in any instance whether an individual has or ha! not "resistance"- if that means i'm. munity against whatever respirator! infections he chooses to regard a. ""the common cold"
 All this medical double-talk abou resistance" is sheer hokum. Hal the time when the doctor or healtl authority beats his gums about Ire sistance" he does so innocently, sin cerely, because he has been brough up and educated, if education is tn, right word for it, to believe sucl hokum medicine, even in thes days when we docs put on "sci entific" airs, is still shot througl with medieval fallacies, and it i an unhappy, disillusioning expert ence for a doctor to find himsel eventually constrained to relinquisl any of these traditional theories il the face of newer knowledge. An, half the time the doctor pratin about resistance" does so expressl to befuddle his customers and keel them from realizing that he prac tices qackery A quack, says Web ster, is a person who professes ski. or knowledge in any matter c which he knows little or nothing So say any doctor who gives yo that hackneyed line about "reSis Itance" is one

The first time hours meant any
thing to them in our sense was when
I used a bell to ring time for school
and church services" Miss Andre
explained.
The aim of the Ministerial Asso-

Tagging sales and leases OF $4,000, :
100000 worth of wartime indus
trial properties raise the prospect
that the Government will remain
in the real estate business for years,
officials reported last night.
They cited the advent of rockets,
jet propulsion and the atomic
bomb as a major factor. Private
operators appear reluctant to bid
for surplus plants for making ira
ditional types of explosives and
ordinary aircraft engines because
of uncertainty over their future.
The War Assets Administration
set next July / as the target date
for uquidating a good part of the
Job, but officials expressed doubt
that the goal would be met.
Part Of the dif1lculty is the tre-
mendous size of some Of the Gov
ernment-owned plants and the fact
that many were designed and
equipped for war speciality produc-
tion-TNT for instance.
The 'for sale" sign Is up on
properties ranging from tool sheds
to the Big Inch-Little Big Inch
