ectual leaders In the contemplation of this exciting dea-and exciting is the word to describe hopeful program in this of pessimism-the two articles by Harold C. Urey Nobel prize-wnning physicist of the University of Chicago and Bertrand Russell one of the worlds greatest living philosophers illustrate that idea
 There is striking parallel in the conclusions of Dr. Urey and Bertrand Russell
 Dr Urev is scientist whose studies contributed greatly to the conquest of atomic power. Like many atomic scientists he feels compelling obligation 10 de- vote his wiCdom to studying means of controno this monster from the laboratories The idea he adv9n"eS is not There has for instance been considerable n- ernational movement in this direction since the puhi- cation in 1889 of Clarence K. Streits Union Now But in his proposal Dr. Urey brings the idea up to date in terms of the atomic crisis.
 The interview with Bertrand Russell is significant in that, approaching the problem from different direction, the great philosopher comes to virtually identical conclusion-hat civilizations principal hope lies in the union of free peoples.
 Against the Communist conspiracy to line up total taran bloc against the nations of the free west-ex- posed by present developments in eastern Europe-a federal union of the democraces may be dictated not by logic but by self preservation.
 For in the background the bomb that obiterated Hiroshima and Nagasaki is still ticking.

While The Atomic Bomb Ticks Away

 ALMOST TWO YEARS have ticked away since an atom bomb from the Superfortress Enoa Gay dissolved Hiroshima in one cosmic puff Suddenly and with no notice but the high drone of departing airplane city the size of Denver had become fatened waste Sixty per cent of the people had been killed or seriously n ured Three days later it happened to Nagasak Those were the only atomic bombs dropped in anger But they may not be the last Most certainly, if the world cannot find way to con- tro this internal power war will come again and next time 1t will come not with two bombs but with thou sands World War Tiff the otalitarians have by that time developed the bomb too-may mean the end of western civilization In the words of one grim jest: World War W will be fought with bows and arrows" It is against this awful probability and the failure to reach an agreement with Russia that the idea of pre- serving freedom through union of the western democ- racies has been advanced by many political and inte

 They included bright-faced young scientists who somehow in the midst of the frivolity had man. aged to pick up enough stuff to set the boundaries of science for ward a hundred years.
 More than one-fourth million of those boys and girls did not come back. We have remembered them for little while. We have, re- ceived the living with love and gratitude. Not very lasting, how ever; not lasting enough to see that they all got jobs, decent op- portunities, decent homes.
 And now the Honeymoon be- tween the generations is really over, and again we hear dark and worried criticisms of the manners. morals, frivolity and the probable sad destiny of the younger gener- ation.
 It looks now that we shall fail to avert the next war, too, and the then younger generation will have to go into it for us. Until then, will 1t be open season on them?

tBY Roscoe Fleming) : Worry About the Elders.
 Not the Kids

Again we are being. asked what the younger generation is coming to? Again we hear from the elder generation that the younger gener- ation is all wet, washed up, nc good. We are told the kids don, know from nothin'. They are friv- olous. They like to dance, and to drive souped-up jalopies. They have no responsibility.
 Not long ago there was a five year recess in such remarks, while the younger generation went out and won for us a worldwide war which we of the elder generation had had twenty-five years tc avert, yet failed to do so.
 They included kids that oui supposedly universal education system had somehow skipped, SC that the army had to teach them their three R's.
 They included boys and girls from high school, where thei, frivolous conduct had worried

Food Prices
(NeW York TimSe)

ALTHOUGH PRESIDENT TRUMAN continues to give maJor emphasis to the deSiraby of reductions in industrial prices what happens to food prices will largely determine the extent which the pressure of higher living costs will be relieved This is necessarily so because the rise in food prices has accounted for about |O per cent of the increase in living costs since the beginning of 1946 In this connection distinctly encouraging trend has developed during the past few weeks It will be recalled that earlier this year sharp rises in the price of hogs and grain products led to wide spread fears that cycle of price increases was der way It IS clear that such conclusion was pre- mature.
 All the indexes of wholesale food prices reflect de- cline The Dun and Bradstreet wholesale food price n- dex which covers thirty-one foods has dropped from S61O on March Is to $602 of April 29 decline of about 10 per cent The comprehensive United States Bureau ot Labor Statistics wholesale price index for foods has declined from about I'll in March to 1903 for the last week in April The sensitive price index report ed daily by the BIS has declined from peak of 422
 939 equals 00) March IT to approximately 36O as of the most recent date
 That the decline has been widespread is shown bv an examination of price trends for different types of foods The futures price for wheat has dropped from $3 OO to about S25O Similar declines have been recorded for other grains Butter has declined from 77 cents pound early Tn March to 62 cents pound Lard has fallen from 3312 cents pound to 23 cents pound Flour which was S7 85 hundred pounds has declined to $6 75 Hogs have dropped from $50 hundred pounds to under SPA
 The rise in the official consumers price index in March was due largely to sharp rise in retail food prices, which in reflected the rises in wholesale prices which had taken place earlier this yea he com pete reversal of these earlier rises in whole ale prices will probably be reflected in lower retail prices if past eXperlence any guide continuation of these trends Will go Tar to help correct the unbalanced price relation ships which have been causing much concern

NEW REGULATIONS AUTHORIZE SALE OF SMALL TRACTS OF PUBLIC LANDS

 federal public land in the United States and Alaska suitable for home, camp, cabin, health, conva- lescent ,recreational or business sites, will be made availble for purchase after one years tenancy under government lease by new regulations of the department of the interior announced by Secre- ,ary J. A. Krug today. At the same time the secretary issued orders for the handling of these and cer- tain other types of public land ne gotiations by field offices of the bureau of land management, thus providing Speedier service 10 the public through the saving of time hitherto consumed in the refer ence of such matters to Washing ton for action.
 Marking a major step in the de- partment's liberalized program for maximum beneficial use of the federal domain by the public un- der conservation safeguards, the new regulations and orders em- body important changes in policy and procedure in the adminiStra- ton by the bureau of land man. aoement of the small tract act of 1888. This act provided for the sale or lease of not to exceed five acres of the public land to any one ap- plicant for the purpose indicated but sale of the lands had not been provided for under departmental policy until the new rules were approved by Secretary Krug, However, no lease will be offered and no sale authorized prior to the classification by the Govern n?snt of the land as suitable for such disposal.
 A separate act passed by Con- gress in 1914 gives war veterans 90-day preference right in the filing of applications for small tracts whenever additional areas of public land are, through the lifting of prior withdrawal orders or other administrative proceed ures, made available for disposal under applicable public land laws. This priority period begins on the G3rd day. after the area has been made available for such disposi- ton.
 The filing of an application con- fers no right upon the applicant to settle upon, use or occupy the land and all persons are warned not to make such settlement and no. to use or occupy the land prior to the issuance of lease. Any such unauthorized settlement. use or occupancy constitutes trespass.
 Briefly summarized, the amend ed regulations provide for the new lease forms containing an option for purchase of the federal lands under the small tract act. This op- tion to purchase lands which have been classified for lease and sale would permit the lessee to apply for purchase of the land at the ex- piration of one year from the date

 Just to spell it out, our younger generations are invariably bright CT, healthier, more basically in- telligent, and better prepared for an inevitable heavier burden of responsibility, than their parents were.

 It is planned to bring the fic- tion department of the library up to date, and to discard all ob- solete books. Book purchases, which will be financed by terri torial funds, will not exceed $500 annually.
 The high school already has an excellent list of periodicals in it's files, according to Carl Smelling, school superintendent. The library is now subscribing to 28 periodicals and four news papers.
 There are at present 2,441 books in the high school library.

season IS Short.
 The Chisago has been tested in Minnesota for the past four years, as well as in Alaska, but possibly will be available on the market in Alaska before 1t is produced commercially in the states.
 The infant development in the potato world is the result of a lhree-Way cross. Chisago's moth CT parent is the Irish Cobbler crossed with Seeding, 13-1. That potato was the result of a cross between Russet Burbank and Katahdin.
 Farmers interested in further possibilities of Chisago are asked to call at the experiment station. A small quantity of seed is still available there. Several Valley farmers also have a few bushel of Chisago seed available.

 Taxing powers then stem from the city council. which must
 approve the school budget.
 The meeting ended with a general discussion of the sub ject. Walter E. Huntley, repre- sentative from this area in the last legislature, said there was need for some type of action. MT. Huntley said that bill was introduced at the last legislative session which would have de- prived Palmer of its high school, if passed. He stated, there is no doubt in my mind but that bill is going to come up at sub sequent meetings of the legisla- ture."
 It was pointed out that the Valley has the fifth largest school in the territory, but is doing nothing to aid in direct financial support for that school. Some communities which have school population of only 40 or 50 pu- pills are bearing a part of the burden of school expenses.
 Biggest problem facing Palm CT is how to collect taxes once they are levied. Seventy-five per cent of the land in the area is still owned by the government, and most of the personal prop erty is covered by a chattel mort gage held by the government.
 Ii was suggested that tuition
 might be charged. but ii was
 agreed that this plan was no
 solution to the problem. The
 burden of financial support of
 the communitY's educational
 program must fall on the com
 munitY as a whole and not on
 parents alone. the P-TA was
 told.
 Mrs. Charles Schaefer, P-TA president, announced at the con- clusion of the discussion that further information on the sub- ject may be available at the De- cember meeting. An attempt is being made to schedule C. c. Caldwell, superintendent of An chorage schools, as guest speak CT at that meeting. MT. Caldwell is expected to discuss some of the problems faced by the An chorage independent school dis trict.

 It was suggested that a public hearing be planned before fur ther study continues. The mat ter was taken under considera- ton by the study committee, but no action was taken at the We'd nesday meeting.
 It also was reported at this meeting, that the Valleys new fire truck will be in Palmer next Monday. The truck is com pletely equipped with freight ing material, and has 200-gal- lon water tank and bumper.
 The city of Anchorage hasn't fire truck as complete lY equipped or as good looking as this one is" Jack Maze. spokesman for the Volunteer Fire Association. told the Chamber.
 MT. Maze said an organization meeting of members of the Vol unteer Fireman's Association is planned for next Tuesday eve ming at 8 o'clock in the Legion clubrooms. All Valley men are urged to attend, for specific fire fighting duties for volunteers will be assigned.
 Negotiations are now under way for purchase of a second fire truck from the army, and that equipment should be deliv- cred here soon.

INCOME OF WORKING PEOPLE

THE real income in purchasing of the working peo-
pie is going down steadily while profits, dividends and
high salaries going up That is the situation shown by
the latest report of the u S. Treasury department Here
the facts:
Income taxes paid by working people through with
holding from their weekly paychecks declined sharply dur
ing the first half of 194 In other words the total amount
paid labor declined for the tax rates the last
year.
At the same time, the highest payments showing a
sharp increase from the bigalary group There is
only conclusion: they have increased.
Meanwhile the tax receipts show that both profits and
dividends They at an altime high and are
mounting month by month.
Meanwhile special congressional committee composed
chiefly of reaconary Republicans and Democrats is getting
ready to suggest that the next Congress reduce the income
tax rates for the big fellows slash the tax profits and
dividends but keep the tax rate the little income folks
about is. AT the time they would hand the work
ing people additional levy in the form of sales tax
top of everything else.
1t adds up to this the working and waste
their time they look to reactonares for just and fair tax
laws The tories determined to make the little people
carry most of the load while they reduce the rates for the
benefit of the big fellows hat is the kind of Congress
have because the workers did not register and did not
to the polls and vote for their friends in the last election
Any way you look at it, Brother, it's fault!
