 PROFIT MARGINS

NOF. &Os AS4O To the Editor
 Waterbury Democrat:
 Let's put an end to the old fash- toned hbg-tying ad persecution of the chain store or super market. It doesn't require an armful of government statistics to prove that chain store prices are considerably lower because they operate on a smaller margin of profit and pass the saving on to the consumer. l am not employed by a chain store and my only interest is in helping to ease the burden of inflated prices on all commodities. Before and dur ing World War II there was a great hue and cry over the plight of the small business establishment. Well, 1t appears that small business prospered for the business failures during the war and up to the pres- ent day have been very few in number.
 Far sighted business men can see that this present slump in business is a normal result of greatly de- creased income on the part of the consumer and it behooves the re- taller to go back to the days of the reasonable mark-up if these intend to operate profitably. Be- ware-the consumer is shopping. This is imperative with an income of $35 to $40 per week.
 Nor is increased wages the answer to the living problem, because neither industry nor the individual employer can hope to compensate the worker for the rise in just plain essentials. Liberalized credit may mean a shot in the arm for most businesses, but this is certain to create distress later when. the in- dividual finds he is unable to meet his periodic payments.
 One sure way to combat these ridiculous prices is for the house. wife to make daily rounds of the stores and buy at the lowest prices. She must also discontinue telephone shopping and by all means buy a household scale. This type of strategy will have the effect of stimulating competition . and re- ducing prices
 The OPA under the guidance of Chester Bowles served a useful purpose, but it is fitting that these controls are lifted. Thils puts the burden directly on the consumer and you can be assured that the law of Supply and Demand" will eventually have to be reckoned with.
 If the local bistros can offer you a drink of whiskey (name brand) for 25c this is an indication that they see the necessity of cutting

countries--the U. S., United King dom, Venezuela, New Zealand and South Africa-supported the Austin motion. Three opposed = France, China and Soviet Russia. Ukraine and Belgium announced they were abstaining.
 Manuilsky, who decided maybe he made a mistake, suggested that the vote be taken over and perhaps those who abstained might vote diff ferently." But Spaak siad q am forced to oppose myself that sug- gestion.
 Then vyshinsky said he was of- fering his joint committee resolu- tion as an amendment to the American motion. After som e squabbling over property, Spaak put 1t to a vote and the Russians were beaten 4 to 3, with four abstaining.
 Good Fellowship Prevails
 VyshinSky said how about Gen. eral Shuts original motion to de- lete the complaint from the agenda. Spaak ruled that, in effect, it had been withdrawn by Shuts.
 Finally, Spaak agreed to a Rus sian suggestion that everything that happened at the meeting be passed on to the Assembly so that 1t could make its own mind up. He ad- jourfled the proceedings and Wy shinsky, grinning happily, shook hands with Austin, who was grim hing too.

UN Steerino Unit Hurdles Agendo Snog : General Shuts
 Started Debate
 On lndio Pleo

Flushing, N. Y, Oct. 25-(UP)- The 14-country United Nations General Assembly steering commit tee, whose job it is to pilot its 51- nation parent organization, was re- f1oated today after running itself aground on parliamentary reefs. The trouble started when white goateed Prime Minister Jan Chris tian Shuts of the Union of South Africa asked the committee to de- lete from the Assenbly's provision al agenda India's complaint that South Africa was mistreating In- dianS living there.
 There followed a lively three-hour debate and each suggestion for solution drove the committee deep CT and deeper into trouble.
 Afraid of Laughing Label
 There were arguments before votes were taken and there were arguments afterward.
 It finally led the suave British Representative Sir Hartley Shaw cross to make the tart observation that the whole procedure threat ened to make "a laughing stock" of the committee.
 In the chair was Paul Henri Spaak, General Assembly president who had couple of ideas of his own.
 At the outset, 1t appeared that everyone present-except the poker faced General Smuts-agreed that the committee had no authority to delete anything from the agenda.
 Legal Angles Evolved
 But Sir Hartley, fresh from the Nuremberg trials where he sat as Britain's representative on the In- ternational Tribunal, suggested that there was quite tricky legal prob- lem involved-that the issue in- yolved the question of LIN interfer- ef1ce in the domestic jurisdiction of a country, namely South Africa He moved that the committee rec ommend that the Assembly refer the question to it's legal coi1mis- sion for advice.
 U. s. Delegate Warren R. Austin after whispered huddle with his advisers, said there were two points involved-one political, the othei legal Therefore, he moved, the Assembly should be asked to turn the matter over to the two cotn- mites dealing with those problems. This brought Soviet Representa- tive Andrei Y. Vyshinsky up with another motion. Recommend, he said, that the matter be considered by the two committees at a joint meeting.
 
 Sir Hartley said in that case he 1 would withdraw his motion and Delegates Became Hungry It was getting late. The dele gates had missed their dinner. Ukranian Representative Dmitri C. Manuilsky observed that some at- tention should be given to ''culin- ary considerations" So Spaak called for vote on Atistin's two- committee resolution.
 A show of hands was asked. Five

Forum to Feature Films OfBikini and Ryukyus

Lowell Thomas, Jr., will present his latest lecture "A Flight Around the World at the Second Church Forum Sunday night at 7:30. He will use 2,600 feet of colored film, This is the third illustrated motion picture lecture that Lowell Thomas Jr., has created. His first was on his South American experiences. The second was the story of moun- taineering in Alaska, and now the third, flight around the world at the dawn of the atomic age.
 Thomas, Jr., has done more than his share of travelling when you consider his age, even in these days when so many young men had war assignments in all parts of the world. Twelve weeks after he was born, 23 years ago, he crossed the Atlantic in laundry basket. When he was 12, on crutches, with a leg broken in ski jumping, he travelled over Europe and was in London for the Coronation. At the age of IS, he went with the Navy on a 35,OOO- mile voyage around Cape Horn. His job was to act as assistant to Com rnander Bonney Powell, the head cameranan who was filming the expedition for all of the combined newsreel companies.
 This was the voyage of the three heavy cruisers, San Francisco, Tus- caloosa and Quincy, the first U. s. Fleet Unit to round Cape Horn since the digging of the Panama Canal. On this voyage Lowell made the entire motion picture record in color and also took the 'still' pic lures, a collection of which was given 8 special display at the New York Worlds Fair. Then in 194O he accompanied explorer Bradford Washburns, who is to be at the Sec ond Church Forum on March g, as & camerarnan on a mountaineering expedition to Alaska.
 In 1942 he and group of other Dartmouth undergraduates or ganized a special Dartmouth air squadron and petitioned the Chief of the Air Forces to allow them to commence their air training before the time when they otherwise would have been called into service The end of World War II found Lowell training French pilots for De- Gaulle's Air Force, instructing them in the handling of B-25 Mitchell Bombers. In May he was called back into the Air Force for special service and made a flight around the world with Assistant Secretary of War for Air Stuart Syminton.
 This film which he will show Sun- day night includes visits to Hawaii. the Marshall Islands, at the time of the atomic bomb tests; the Philip pines for the celebration of the birth of the newest nation; the Marianas, the Ryukyus, Japan, China. Siam, India, North Africa, Greece, Italy and the return flight from Europe to America. The Bi- kini pictures which are the photo graphic climax of the film, appear at the end.

 Extremely Low

Boston, Aug. 19-UP)-Only one ffve thousandth of one percent of perishable food shipped to Amer ican troops during the war was lost due to Spoilage or bad quality, the president of the American Veterin- ary Medical Association said today.
 Dr. James Farquharson paid trib- sSe to the Army Veterinary Corps in World War II for it's work in safeguarding food supplies.

 LOSS of perishable foods receiv- sd." he said, including those in re- mote foreign areas, amounted to only one five-thousandth of one per- cent"
 Farquharson said, however. that the U. N. R. R. A. had falle far below those standards as many responsible duties and positions were assigned to men whose background, draining and experience did not jus 6fy the appointments"

Berlin, Aug. 19-CUP)-Lt.-Gen. Lucius D. Clay disclosed today that equipment from German war plants in the U. s. zone had been sent to Russia within the last two weeks in an apparent reversal of the suspen- sion of such shipments.
