HIDE AND SEEK CONTINUES

Latest game of Senatorial hide a'1o-seek took place when the Mead committee visited the Army's air base at Greensboro, N. C., where in order to give an impress sion of intense activity, CHS were put to work on Sunday, their day off. Prior to this, CHS had been working only few days week.
 But the prize game of hide-ard- seek occurred last spring when, as the war neared it's close, Gen. Gurus Lemay, head of the 20th Ar Force reported that his B-29's had run cut of primary targets in Japan. As a result, several aides 10 Secretary of War Stimson ad- vised cutback in bomb produc- tiGn.
 The matter came to the atten- l.5n cf the Mead Committee, when it discovered s,lat the Air Corps had produced and shipped a large quantity of obsolete bombs to Europe although Eisenhower's staff cabled they weren't needed. So the Committee called Brig. Gen. Kenneth s. Royall to testify on the entire bomb procurement pro- gram. When General Royal re- turned to the War Department, he was jubilant Walking into a meet ing of the Procurement Committee, he said
 Well, we certainly fooled the Senate"
 What do you mean?" asked an- other officer.
 Well, they only asked us about type of bomb which they claimed was surplus in Europe. I convinced them from the records that there vas no surplus of this type.
 What had happened was that the Senators asked about a bomb weighing five pounds more than the bomb which actually was sur pl;;s. They didn't think to ask a3out the other types of bombs.
 Why didn't you tell them about inc other kinds that we do have surpiuses of?" asked Royall's ques- tioner
 They didn't ask us and why

SUNDAY. JANUARY 27


 Conflicting aspects mark this day which is favorable to meditation rather than any form of activity. There is a good sign for mental vis- ion.
 HEART AND HOME
 Importance of thrift in the home should be emphasized lest imitation be encouraged Any lessening of prosperity in the United States will te tragic for the whole world which depends on the resources of the na- tions, astrologers declare.
 BUSINESS AFFAIR
 It is well for all persons to be careful of their resources. Stability in trade and commerce may be as- sured in l949.
 NATIONAL ISSUES
 Many persons will advocate soft peace for our defeated enemies. Cer- tain church groups will preach for giveness. Clever propaganda will circulate in novel channels.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS If the stars are rightly read, Ger man strength has not been complete ly eliminated. Dangers persist through great cartels or other sec ret organizations in which both American and British business men are interested.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year of beneficial changes. New careers will be start ed.
 Children born on this day will be lovable and magnetic in nature and brilliant in mind. They should be carefully educated.

should we tell them? They're only looking for publicity anyhow"
 General Royall is now Acting Secretary of War
 OLD OLD STORY
 Senators did not know until months later that they lost out in this particular game of hide-and- seek. When they heard about it, ore Senator remarked:
 That's like the story of the raiiroad watchman who was guard Ing a crossing where a train hit an automobile At the trial he stated under cross-examination that he had been waving his lan- tern to warn the automobile. After the railroad won it's case. the watchman's attorney asked if he was nervous while being questioned.
 Only once," replied the watch man. "'If that fellow had asked me if the lantern was It,, we'd have lost the case"
 Note-More serious Senatorial op- inion is that if some of these things hadn't been hushed up, they would have been corrected at the time instead of accommodating pent- lp steam.

every week prices are dropping as
tonishingly.
During the war, it took ten times
as much money to run my house
and take care Of my family as be-
fore the war;" Madame told me.
ut is now down to five times as
much, and I think when it gets to
three times that will be about what
is expected to be normal
"Of course, the prices have been
very hard on the poor people. You
had to buy things on the black mar
ket because they were not avail
able otherwise. You still have to buy
on the black market, if you want
things" she went on
For example, butter on the black
market is roughly 50 pound while
it has been as high as So a pound.
The official price is around 60 cents.
Real silk hose bring around So on
the marche noir whereas the official
price is about 81. There has been
only one shoe ration during and
necessary to buy shoes on the black
market. For an ordinary pair of
women's shoes, the black market
price would be between S35 and
$40, whereas if you wanted a pair
of stout walking shoes that would
last for some time, you probably
would have to give the equivalent of
$50. Cigarettes command the usual
fantastic price that they do in all

is black market street in Brussels
where anything may be had from
American uniforms to potatoes. And
clothing coupons can be bought on
the streets.
1.-THE black market has been help
ing to bring prices down." Madame
Van de Ven said, and then went on
to explain: 1.-The Belgians are in
dividualists. They must be active
even outside the law. When it
was said no goods could be pro-
duced, people buying on the black
market created such prices that the
government was forced to do some
thing to increase the supply so as
to bring prices down. Because goods
are coming on the market, the price
of textiles has come down 60 per
cent since New Years and the gov
eminent is taking steps to close up
places that are selling above the
official price"
In the food line, the scarcest item
is potatoes, with meat running sec
ond. Just before the elections, a
new list came out which slightly in
creased the ration for fat, meat,
and coffee and, of course, there was
a suspicion on the part of many peo-
Browning chief. [volume] (Browning, Mont.) 1941-1953, 1946-04-26

pie that this step had a direct con-
nection with the elections. If you
don't deal on the black market and
stay within the ration-here are
some of the allotments:
As in other European countries,
bread and potatoes are an impor-
tant part of the Belgian diet. Just
under pound of bread a day per
person and twenty pounds of pota-
toes month are the ration. Three
fourths Of pound of coffee month
per person is the coffee ration and
about two pounds of fat which must
include margarine, a butter-spread
which contains cheese and butter.
Oranges are rationed to two and
one-ffth pounds month and dried
fruits and raisins less than one
fourth pound. The cheese ration is
less than quarter pound per per-
son per month. Miners, who are so
essential to Belgium's economic re-
covery, are given extra points, Of
course.
As for clothing, 100 tickets are
allowed for a period A woman's
tailored suit would take 80 points,
and an ordinary slip would use up
points. However, it is possible to
obtain lingerie in certain stores
without coupons if you pay extra
francs, or you can buy clothing on
the streets of Brussels.
"But Belgium is doing very WE'LL"
she asserted.
Madame Van de VEINS husband is
an importer of refrigeration and
wood products from the United
States. They have a 15-year-old
daughter, Jacki, and a nine-year-
old son, Johnny. A lordly camache
poodle, named Jeep, completes the
family. Jeep, born on the day of
liberation, has brown hair clipped to
leave rufus about his feet and head
and wears a German iron cross.
Yes, the Van de Veins think Bel
GUM is doing very well.
And that is the impression you get
everywhere. One business man pre-
dicted to me that if conditions con-
tinue to improve, this little country
will be back to normal by the end
of the year. Already coal production
is up to rs per cent, and steel 60
per cent. The textile mills are get
ting under way.
But Belgium must have imports
especially from the United States.
And in order to buy American
goods, she must have dollars. Bel

hall. Spratt and Dick came in with
Brian, who had glass-topped box
of specimens under his arm. "This
is Mr.. Kessler, Brian" Spratt said.
He wanted to meet you so he could
know the whole Herlong family"
How do you do sir" said Brian,
all in one word, and held out his
hand. Fortunately Kessler was sit
ting down instead of leaning on his
cane, and so could give him hand
shake. Brian stood uncertainty, one
foot curled around the opposite an
kle.

Kessler, land I asked him to tell
you I should like to see some of

the case?"
Brian nodded. Butterflies. Want
to see them?"

Cherry said simultaneously, "You
don't know what you're getting into,
Mr.. Kessler." Paying no attention to

ported raw materials into goods for
sale abroad. She has plenty of
goods for internal consumption, be-
cause the outbreak of the war found
her plentifully stocked, and the Bel
gians were able to hide much of
their supplies from the Germans
which they are now putting on the
market. But Belgium must have
export business.
Before the war, Belgium was a
land of low prices and low wages.
When the cost of living began to ad-
vance 10 times above normal, wages
were raised 80 per cent in order
to make existence possible. But
at that point the government decid-
ed that only a vicious spiral of in
iatlon was in progress, so it put
a halt to wage advances and start
ed working on price decreases. AS
a result, Belgians themselves tell
you that the price drops in as short
a time as two weeks are "aston-
ishing."

No, the Van de Veins do not live
In an average Belgian home, be-
cause greater material advantages
than many Of their countrymen
know have provided them with a
modernistic house, in the Holly
wood sense, with expenses of glass
and chrome, salons, a breakfast
room on the second floor, a library,
the decor and furnishings bespeak-
ing trend toward the ultra-smart.
AS I sat talking to Madame Van
de Ven, could look across the cof-
fee table with its bowl of narcissi
In the center, to the salon with
chairs and divan covered in clipped
wool, bowl of scarlet tulips on the
table, to the dining room with its
full-wall landscape in oils. It was
in this setting that Madame Van de
Ven talked about living conditions
in Belgium as she knew them dur
ing the war and now.
"You can get anything you want
in Belgium, if you pay for it," she
told me. THAT was true during the
occupation as well as now-although

Poppy seeds must be sown in the
open ground as soon as the ground
can be prepared. If sown late,
failure is likely to result unless
seeds are carefully watered and
shaded.
Sweet peas should be staked as
soon as seeds break through soil
