Old Johnny's Ghost Is Walking
Cincinnati Enquirerl


 At this season of the year, we like to think that the ghost of one John Chapman wanders the highways and byways of Ohio, smiling with qualification at things he sees there Everywhere he goes, from the shores Lake Erie to the placid waters of the Oho the wrath passes apple orchards filled with luscious fruit On every roadside market he sees baskets piled high with produce of the orchards John Chapman, back in the early days wandered trails where now the highways run He known to white settler and Indian alike, Johnny Appeseed."
 A zeaot Johnny Appleseed To him this par ticular fruit was the to all problems He saw it as source of food medicine and commercial devel opment. Everywhere he went throughout Ohio and Pennsylvania, he distributed apple seeds from his pouches to pioneer farmers At every stop he planted few seeds, just to make sure the land would blossom with fragrant wbe and pink blossoms in future April
 Johnny knew his appes-and his country-well. He selected for his efforts of the finest apple raising terrain in America. While Ohio boasts a variety of agricultural products, her apples rank high the list In flavor they among the best in the land They grown in every Ohio county
 Most have forgotten John Chapman these many years But few particularly in this part of the Middle West, have forgotten the curious, cratic Johnny Appleseed especially in April when the blos- sons come and in September and October when trees harvest which the little in the buckskin jerkin believed be the greatest gift of God bestowed on mortal

 Since his emi-diplomatic mis- sion to South America, where he inspected the navies of various countries, Halsey has had little to do. Privately, the tough little skip per hankers to take that job as vice president of Pan American Airways, which is still open to him.
 As the boss of Pan Am'S West Coast operations, Halsey would double his present income, which is about $130,000 year, counting longevity pay. However, he isn't in terested in the extra money. His sparkplug temperament craves ac- tion, in or out of the Navy. And life is becoming very dull in his spacious office at the Navy Depart ment.

MEXICAN MEAT BAN

So much friction has been kicked up by the U. s. embargo against Mexican cattle and hoof -and-mouth disease that President Truman has taken the unusual step of writing a personal letter to the President of Mexico about it. In his letter Truman backed up the Agriculture Departments embargo and denied that it was inspired by U. s. cattle men who want to avoid Mexican competition.
 Truman told the Mexican chief executive that he believed the ban was entirely justified as precau- tionary measure against the threat of hoof and mouth disease, adding that it would be rescinded only when officials of the Departments Animal Husbandry Division were satisfied no danger exists.
 Cause of all the trouble is some breeder bulls which Mexico import ed rom Brazil
 Real fact is that more than year ago, when Mexican stock rais- CTS were arranging to purchase the Brazilian bulls, the Agriculture De- partment warned Mexico that entry of the animals might bring U. $. embargo on all Mexican cattle. Of- ficials explained that disease con- trol in Brazil was inadequate and that several epidemics of the dread hoof -and-mouth malady had been recorded there during the past two decades.
 This warning was ignored. One hundred and sixteen Brazilian bulls were cleared through the Mexican quarantine station on Sacrificlos Island, in the Gulf Of Mexico off Veracruz, and brought to the main land. A lew months later, the Mex jeans placed a second order for 327 additional bulls.
 On June 4 of this year, while that second shipment was enroute to Sacrificios, the Agriculture De- partment banned all Mexican cattle from entering the United States. Agricultural attaches of the U. $. Embassy had reported that num- Der of the original bulls from Bralil showed symptoms of being hoot- and mouth disease carriers.
 theoretically, the second lot of 327 bulls has been held intact on Sacrificios, pending exhaustive tests by a joint commission ol U. $. and Mexican government veterinarians Officials say the truth is, however, that nearly score of these ani- mals have already found their way to the mainland.
 These are the facts which led the

RUSSIA WANTS PEACE"
 SMITH

Ambassador Beetle" Smith has sent a confidential memo to the State Department saying he believes Marshal Stalin was sincere in his recent statement that peace be- tween the major powers is likely during the coming years.
 Ambassador Smith pointed out that the Russian five-year plan is aimed more at the reconstruction of Nazi-devastated areas than at an armaments program for world ag- gression, and expressed belief that Russia might consider proposal for general world disarmament if advanced by the USA.
 The Ambassador also reported that the Russians desperately need manpower for reconstruction and would like to use part of their 4,000, 0,000-man army for that pur- pose.
