A Bow to Connecticut
(New York Sum

Figures published by the Department of Com show that in 1945 Connecticut was second only to New York among the States of the Union in average per capita income; New York $1595 Con- nectcut, S1499; and, national average S1150 This computation includes and salaries, income from businesses and farms dividends interest, net rents royalties and other items such veterans benefits and dependency allowances
 Connecticut has obvious tangible resources on which to base substantial incomes. Among them are the insurance companies of Hartford the industrial field of Bridgeport, the holdings of executives who
 live in it's picturesque suburban areas Yale University is in this State.
 There is however, in addition, that perhaps more intangible flavor of Connecticut which has for so long invited writers and artists to it's midst More than thousand homes date back century and half. To this wealth of historical association must be added the stone walls, pleasant pastures streams and lanes which mplant inner satisfaction in the minds and hearts of thOse fortunate enough to dwell among them

WAR-DEVELOPED ASSETS

Elsewhere in today's issue of this newspaper the local IL S Employment Service manager points out that since VJ day total of 6 service veterans have been able to make use of skis gained in the course of their training for war to secure and hold peaceme jobs.
 USES Manager Gissberg refers especially to the example of Alaska Coastal Airlines which has found place in it's organization for IT veterans and their acquired training In the ranks of the firm S pilots alone names of several Juneau youths who learned their flying to guide great bombers other war craft are to be found. Harold Bloomquist, Bud Brown, Jim Hickey but three examples.
 That Alaska Coastal has been alert to secure mutual profit from the training of these youths is not surprising AGA itself learned much from time experience derived when it. along with every one of the nations arlnes, called upon to stretch its resources beyond all previously considered limits to answer unmagined demands of service
 That war training has enabled the company to turn to provision peacetme service with confidence in it's abilities and willingness to undertake increasing responsibilities With newer improved equipment pro- viding added means the company is constantly ex- banding its service, Just yesterday announce ment from the Nations Capital that the Juneau pany being considered for permanent certificaton as mail carrier three major Southeast Alaska routes.

ject of a red-hot tug-of-war across the Rio Grande It is seriously af- fecting our good-neighbor policy.
 On June 5, following receipt of report from Agricultural attaches at the U. s. Embassy in Mexico City, Washington officials abruptly closed the border to shipments of steers from the Northern Mexican States of Nuevo Leon and Chihua- hua. Dread hoof -and-mouth disease was spreading through these cattle raising regions due to the impor- tation of 327 stud bulls from Brazil, which proved to be infected.
 Inspectors of the Agriculture De- partment were sent into the affect ed areas to investigate and to ad- wise the breeders on control mea- sures. They recommended that all the Brazilian bulls be removed to Swan Island international quar- antine control station off the coast of Honduras, for examination.
 The cattlemen prepared to com ply, but then an embarrassing sit uatiCn arose. It was learned that the Swan Island Station, taken over more than eighteen months ago by the U. s. Department of Agriculture, was still not equipped to handle the work required in this case. Instead the bulls were shipped to Sacrificios Island. in the Gulf of Mexico.

cut was largely due to Senator Brien McMahon's lukewarm sup
 port. McMahon voted Tor Bowles, but wouldn't go out and beat the bushes for votes. Result: The Dem
 ocrats are sure to lose Connecticut
 in November. Secretary of War Patterson spend two hours a week attending lectures on atomic en- ergy-along with other War De- partment officers. {. . It is strongly suspected that there is little poli- tics in the beef shortage. The big cattle ranchers, the midwest feed lot fatteners and the meat pack CTS are staunch Republicans, and if meat doesn't go to market for the next few weeks, the psychological effect on the November elections will be important-perhaps decisive.

An Amazing Pharmaceutical Triumph
lNeM York sum

One tantalizing question for the class on foreign trade is What American commodity lately has been sold abroad in quantities than double those consumed in this coountry?" The answer is "peni- cilin!" recent estimate discoses the astonishing probability that export sales in July were about ten times the exports of all American drugs in average month of 1938 Of 48666 900 Oxford units of Am ercan penicillin shipped abroad in the past eight months South American markets have received almost half Revealing this and related data in Foreign Commerce Weekly Mark Merrell writes that there few United States products exported in quantities larger than those sold in the domestic market and none that sells at twice the of sales home"
 MT Merrell observes that the United States Office of International Trade in approving millions of vals of penicilln for export, keeps domestic supplies at more than adequate levels from month to month Such trade is convincing evidence that phar- maceutical manufacturers in this country-who were, indeed, the first in the world to promote research on mass production of the drug-have overcome the innumerable technical problems which faced them only three years when under the War Production Board output large scale started here. Theirs has been triumph of applied science that makes possible mcalculable benefits to human life.

HOOP AND MOUTH SPREADS

Meanwhile, the issue had taken on continental proportions. The governments of Colombia and Ven ezuela, which had also been author izing sizable imports of stock from Mexico, temporarily suspended all permits for such traffic. Ranch men in Chihuahua and Nuevo Leon, who had been operating on a slim profit margin, due to OPA price ceilings in the United States, were faced with disaster. Transportation problems made it impracticable for them to ship to Mexico City
 Now, those two South American countries have lifted their ban on Mexican cattle; but the U. s. em- bargo remains. Strong political pressure from both sides of the border has failed to have it taken off, although some Department of Agriculture officials are apparently trying to talk down their colleagues own orders.
 On September II, an Agriculture Department spokesman who asked to remain anonymous stated that the lifting of the embargo was in the bag" Yet veterinarians of that agency's livestock division now de- clare flatly that 'so long as one case of hoof of-and-mouth disease re- mains in Mexico, the border will stay closed to their cattle
 More than half million head of livestock are involved in this explosive situation. Some Mexican cattle breeders are charging open / ly that the whole affair is man. euver designed, first, to keep them out of the American market dur ing uncontrolled prices, and now to prevent their breaking the black market in meat.
 The Agriculture Department de- nieS this. Hoof -and-mouth disease would ruin U. S. herds, but just as it took no chances with Argen- tine meat, it will take no chances with Mexican cattle.

PAUL PORTER'S SLOGAN

When you are boss of anything as unpopular as the OPA, you need a sense of humor. Fortunately, tall gangling Kentucky raised Paul Por- ter has one.
 Some time ago he was attending a dinner given by Undersecretary of State Dean Acheson in honor of Herbert Morrison, a leader of the British Labor Government. During the dinner, Morrison turned to John Snyder and said:
 I've come over here to find out how the American Government op- crates. Won't you be good enough to tell me about the duties of your department?"
 Snyder obliged with a dry and factual resume of his duties. Then Morrison asked the same question of Paul Porter.
 Well you see, over here, MT. Minister" replied the OPA boss, we operate the government on slogans Mine goes hack to the war of 1872.
 You wouldn't remember much about that, but our hero in that war was old Hickory Jackson; and in the battle of New Orleans when the redcoats were battering away at our cotton bales, Jackson ordered his men:
 Elevate them guns a little low CT.
 That's my slogan and my job, MT Minister" concluded Porter. T elevate them prices a little lower
