STAMPEDE SLATED
ON BUFFALO MART
5000 Housewives Set TO
Rush For Ceilingless
Luxury Meat

MINNEAPOLIS, Oct. 49, UD -
An estimated 5000 housewives
readied themselves Sunday night
for a buying rush Monday when,
at noon sharp, without regard for
CPA ceilings, 10 1000 pounds of meat
goes on sale here. It's Buffalo
meat.
Police were ordered to stand
guard and keep order when the
meat-hungry women begin the
rush.
The choice. granted bison, cut
from 80 head of buffalo from the
private herd of Charles A. Ward,
president of Brown & Bigelow Co.,
st. Paul. will be sold at two Witt
Market House stores, one of which
is in the downtown district.
The markets will sell the meat
at prices up to SITS per pound for
choice crown roasts. or nearly two
and a half times the ceiling on top
graded beef. There is no ceiling
on buffalo, a luxury product.
The animals have been cut into
prime roasts, pot roasts. and club,
porterhouse, T-bone. rib and cube
steaks, tenders and ground meat.
The meat will be sold on a first
come. first served basis.
For the past week buffalo"
burgers" have been served at the
two stores. Customers said they
we're fine and asked for more.
Warren Witt, manager Of the
stores, bought the meat from Ward
last week when Ward decided to
sell on the open market because OF
the present meat shortage. In past
years Ward always has sold his
buffalo meat to a Chicago hotel.

government. No man, however
big, can administer the office of
President as the personal enter
prise of himself and his cronies.
The less he is a big man, the less
he can rely upon lunches and
chitchat: the more he must fall
back upon the organized decision
Of a staff and OF his responsible
advisers.
Since Mr.. Truman's troubles
have developed out of his press
conferences, 1t is but natural that
he should be hoping to cure his
troubles by reforming his press
conferences. There is little doubt
that he ought to reform them. AS
now conducted they are as IN
satisfactory as they are dangerous.
The President is frequently asked
questions which he is unprepared
to answer. He may catch the point
of the question. Or he may miss
the point. He can then give no
answer. Or he a make a quick,
guess. Or he can give the wrong
answer. This system is bound to
produce the results it SO frequently
does produce: not information and
understanding but confusion and
CONSERVATION throughout the world.
Yet the remedy is clearly indi-
Gated. On the one hand the public
must know what the government
is doing, and the press must be
enabled to report it. On the other
hand the President cannot supply
that information offhand in an
to questions tossed at him
Unexpectedly out of a crowd of
newspaper men, especially when
there will always be some more
interested in heckling him that in
reporting him. The remedy is to
make it a rule that on matters of
high policy, touching foreign af-
fairs, the armed forces, govern
ment finance, questions should be
submitted in writing, and answer
ed when the President has had
time to have prepared a coasid-
cred reply.
There may be some who will say
that Mr.. Truman cannot do this
without c%onfessing that he is less
able to cope with the press than
wal President Roosevelt. But in
fact he is less able, and it will cost
him less grief to admit 1t than to
deny it. Moreover, as one news
paper man who has been to Presi-
Dental press conferences over a
period of thirty years, l should like
to say that even if Mr.. Truman
could initiate Roosevelt. he ought
not to try.
Roosevelt's conduct of press con-
ferences became, as time went on,
more a form of personal recrea-
ton that a means Of public edit
cation. AS he got his exercise in
the swimming pool, so he exer-
cised his wits in his press confer
ences. Less and less came out Of
them which gave substance to the
freedom OF the press. More and
more they degenerated into persi-
flaee by means of which the Presi-
dent, who was nearly always the
victor, would win for himself a
few more days Of freedom from
the inquisitiveness Of the press.

COPS Dewitt
Tells How FEPC
Aids Many Groups

Edward J. Dewitt, candidate for
Republican nomination to Congress
from the 4th district, spoke at the
Halle Q. Brown community house,
Thursday, June 6. q,
Dewitt, a veteran and a st. Paul
attorney, stressed the Importance
Of the +. f. p. c. He stated that
he regretted that the present com
mittee's activity was to be termi-
mated on the Both Of June Of this
year.
Discrimination was defined by
Dewitt as meaning any action di-
rected by the employer against an
employee, as in the case of refus-
ing to hire a member of minority.
Early and unwarranted dismissal
and unequal pay for equal work
were stressed as phases OF dis
elimination by Dewitt.
Dewitt said that the Fair Employ
ment Practices committee had been
particularly beneficial to the Ne.
gro worker. Eighty per cent OF
the cases considered by the COM
mittee, dealt with discrimination
against the Negro. Jews, Seventh
Day Adventists, Jehovahs Witness
es and Roman Catholics were also
before the committee for consider
alton. National groups such al
Mexicans, Italians, Germans, Chi
nese and Japanese were also aided
Minority groups should MAKE
every effort to keep their gooC
qualities before the public and they
should take an active part in thu
operation of their government,
continued Dewitt.

Germ Sprays and
Atom Bombs Are
KeYS to Future

NEW YORK-Aeeording to a re-
cent Associated Press dispatch
from Washington, information has
leaked out that this country has in
its possession, "A germ spray re-
portedly capable Of wiping out
large cities and entire crops at a
single blow far more deadly
than the atomic bomb" The dis
patch goes on to report that,
"Sketchy details OF the frightening
germ weapons were provided by
members Of the House Appropria-
tons Committee. Having seen evil
denee of the high destructive power
Of the atomic bomb which sets off
chain reactions that are devastat-
ing, it is difficult to imagine any
thing more terrible, yet one mem

And there you have the pat

existence, we have forgotten that
the emphasis is not on life, but
ON death-quiek and certain
death. While we wonder what
the teIeVisiOn sets Of tomorrow

we can hurry from one part Of
the country 10 another, the men
who are IN a position to know the
truth about the future are pre-

Der Of people in the quickest pos

The puny efforts Of our scientists
and medical men to check or wipe
out the disease epidemics that are
plaRuing our Rhettos and blighted
communities are ridiculous in the
face Of this evidence that our ma
ton is better equipped to create
more death by disease in five min

civilization can manufacture in q

chief business Of the Republic, it
is fooIhardy TO sit tight and hope
for a miracle that will provide a
more abundant life. The nation is
gripped in q panic Of fear. Even
those men who make the rules are
fearful Of one another. Though
they are, all Of them, Of the same
racial strain, and dedicated to the
principle that, in the final analysis,
only certain Christian white men
are created equal, they don't trust
each other to maintain the superior
ity Of the breed. They are fight
ing among themselves, and are call
ing each other hard names. Yet
they can get together long enough
TO prepare instant death for those
who dare to disagree with them,
whether at home or abroad.
The atom bomb loosed its con-
tinuing force at the time when our
lawmakers had decided that this
nation was not to be committed to
a policy guaranteeing a right of
employment without discrimination
or prejudice to any Of its citizens.
The germ spray weapon makes its
advent into our national confusion
coincident with the re-birth Of the
cOwardly Xu KluX Khan ganRster
rule. II is an indication that we
are afraid-scared as hell Of great
numbers Of our own citizens, and
most Of the big powers Of the world.
We are in a killing mood, and we
hope to God that by parading our
frightening WEAPONS the other fel-
low will get scared, too, and lay
off.
Well, II just so happens that no
one is going to get scared except
the evid-dOeTs. They are destined
TO remain in a state Of perpetual
fright, and every show of honest
courage will send them trembling
into their laboratories to cook up
another potion Of death to bolster
their Bringing souls. The white
sheets and burning crosses Of the
Ku Klux Khan will become fun
eraI regalia should the Khan try
to defy the law and the rights
Of those whom they fear and con-
sequently hate.
For all of our Wanted strength,
we are a weak nation, for we are
afraid Of what amounts to our
shadow. We have come from the
wholesale slaughter at home. How
ever, having little confidence in
ourselves, we also cook up q mess
of deadly germs just in case one
or two Of the foreign nations de-
eide to take a poke at us while we
are enjoying ourselves at a lynch
ing bee.
The United States has set the
pattern for the future with its
atom bomb and its germ spray
Now, Just as we have been trying
TO figure out q way to control the
men who are daily sitting in the
halls Of Congress and spewing out
poison about half Of the citizens
Of the nation, all we have to do Ii
figure out a way to control them sc
they won't destroy US.
