expansion of any section of the
nation. John H. Kraft, president
of the Kraft Foods Company de-
clared here.
Mr.. Kraft spoke at a produc-
ton conference of plant managers
and fieldmen from Kraft plant
in the company's Southeastern
Division. w. H. Harvey, division
production manager, is presiding
at the conference.
Tracing the history of dalrylng
in Southern states, Mr.. Kraft
told the men that cheese pro-
duction in three states alone
Alabama, Mississippi and Ten
nessee-had jumped from four
million pounds in 1923 to so mil
lion pounds in 1945.
In those three states, total
milk production in 1945 was
more than five billion pounds,
he declared. This means that
more than one hundred and fifty
million dollars was paid to farm
ers in the three states for milk.
dramatically the South has
great advantages for milk pro-
duction over any other section.
There are Southern areas where
lush pastures afford grazing for
dairy cows II months Of the year.
In other sections pastures are
green for 10 months, compared
with six and seven months IN
the North.
Breed programs now operat-
ing in many Southern states, un-
der direction of the colleges OF
agriculture and the extension
services, are further raising the
level of production per cow, a
gain lowering the cost Of pro-
ducing milk
World needs for milk are eN-
banding. he said, and forecast
that in years TO come American
farmers would be called upon to
produce more and more milk
for shipment in powder form to
other countries. Much Of the IN
creased need, he said, can come
from Southern farmers. with re
sulting economic b z n e l t S
throughout the region.
He stated that his company has
definite plans for expanded oper-
ations in Southern states in years
to come. Several Kraft plants
have been enlarged and moder-
nized to permit greater and more
efficient production. he said, and
when building materials become
more plentiful, plant operations
at other points will be enlarged.
Emphasis was laid throughout
the business sessions Of the COM
pany conference on the need for
cooperation between plant men
and dairy farmers, to insure IN
creased efficiency in milk pro
duction and continued high quail
ty in milk supplies.
The plant representatives out
lined programs going on in each
territory to raise production per
COW by better pasture and feed
ing programs. The progress Of
artificial breeding in various
states was related and sugges-
tions made for further expansion

Admiral William H. P. Blandy, COM
mander in chief of the Atlantic

experiments at Bikini, had made a
speech in which he revealed how
our Navy is busy at work on atomic

raiser for the main drama, which
is expected to be staged within the
next few weeks.
In order to counter the deter
mined efforts of the Communists
to take possession of the French
government, Premier Paul Ramadier
decided to give up his Office and
intrust the reins to another man.
1t is probable that a new cabinet,
headed by the aged Leftist Socialist
Leon Blum and assisted by the
moderate Socialist Paul Reynaud,
will be formed in the next few days.
Blum Not Man of Action.
Such a combination would not
change the situation materially. Mr..
Blum is an idealist and not a man
of action. He is extremely sensi-
tive to criticism and fears partic-
ularly accusations that he does not
live up to the tenets of socialism.
He is less likely than Mr.. Ramadier
to take drastic measures to put an
end to the political strikes which
threaten ruin to France.
Mr.. Reynaud Is younger and
stronger man. But, teamed up with
Mr.. Blum, he is not likely to be In
position to respond to the Com
munist challenge.s
At best the new French cabinet
will be another stopgap device, the
existence of which will depend on
how intensively the Communists
press their offensive. The blasts
against Mr.. Blum and Mr.. Ramadier
in the Moscow radio broadcasts indi-
cate that these two men are as un-

acceptable to the Comintern as Mr..
Ramadier himself.
There is no question of any po-
litical organization which has sub
stantial representation in the Ma
tional Assembly asking Gen. Charles
deaGaulle, Frances only strong man,
to take over the government. He
remains a dark horse on whom a
part of the French people depend
for strong methods against the in
stigators of crippling strikes and
internal disorder.
Gen. de Gaulle has found an un-
expected number of followers, as the
recent municipal elections demon
strated. Even members of the Com
st-dominated General Confed-
Grafton of Labor (CGT) voted for
him, as was the case in Marseille.
They did so with impunity, because
the ballot is still secret in France.
But the same men who indorsed
the wartime resistance leader did
not dare defy the formal orders of
the Communist headquarters to
strike in that Red city" and its
environs.
Coup Could Aid De Gaulle.
1t appears to most observers
foregone conclusion that Gen. de
Gaulle cannot become Frances
Premier except by coup d'etat.
Whether he will decide on such
drastic step, which inevitably will
involve violence, remains to be seen.
But the former chief of the Fight
ing French has behind him an
illegal" force of former Maquis and
resistance fighters-young men who
fought the Nazis in the underground
from 1910 to 1945.
Many Of Gen. de Gaulle's men are
unsavory characters, thugs and other
such elements, who might be used
successfully against the organized
partisan forces of the Communist
Party. Moreover, if it came to open
war against the Communists, it is
believed that large part of Frances
organized military force might fol-
low Gen. de Gaulle rather than a
weak and undecided government.

MS warm per- AS
sonal regard for Mr.. Arnall and
praised his public career; about the
nomination he, too, was wary.
The Arnall camp realizes that 1t
has to buck Washington with its
many hopeful candidates and also the
Presidents tendency to pick first his
intimate associates for all the jobs
that are lying around. So they have
been quietly canvassing his pros
poets in substantial number OF
States, hoping to pick up a frame
work on which they can build.
Ask for Second Choice.

expectation that Mr.. Truman will
offer the delegates handpicked
choice, they ask for second choice
commitments to Mr.. Arnall should
the White House nominee fail to
make the grade. They insist they
are doing very well, too.
The Arnall claims are based on his
liberal record, his excellent personal
ity and his campaigning skill. His
friends believe he has the same
political appeal that caused Mr..
Roosevelt to pick Mr.. Wallace in
1910 but without Mr.. Wallace's
disabilities. They point out that
he has avoided the radical fringe
and showed exceptional ability as
Governor. They think him a
natural with labor and minorities.

Why let a potential enemy know

the chance of either being a copy

What makes the whole thing even
slllier is the fool secrecy which the

The Army and Navy air groups
have all sorts of classifications re-
garding security. There are top
secret, middle secret, nearly secret,
highly confidential, yours truly con-
fdential. just plain confidential and
half hundred variations of restric-
tions. I would be willing to bet
that while the Navy blabbers about
the atomic submarine, if you went
to Washington and tried to find the
average girdle size of the WAVES
you would be told that such in
formation was restricted or secret.
I would also bet that the Air
Force, while utterly free with in
formation concerning jet jobs. would
refuse on the grounds of security
to give you the middle name OF
some sergeant. When I was serV-

grave believing that the rules were

It could happen that the Repub-
lican leaders and their Democratic
pals will recognize this fact. When,
having been caught off base politi-
cally, they unloosed their cries Of
rage and anguish, they undoubtedly
expected to hear a sympathetic
echo from the press and public. But
that isn't what they heard. They
heard, for the most part, serious,
sober discussion of the Presidents
proposals. They discovered, to their
surprise, a disposition on the part
of the people. to face the facts. It
is possible that the politicians will
take their cue from the people and
do the same.
Big Issue to Be Prices.
BY general agreement the big
issue has come to be prices. If they
are not brought down the party held
responsible will pay the penalty at
the polls. If they are brought down
the party given the credit will be
rewarded. It is as simple as that
almost. The question of who caused
the high prices has been pushed
aside by the question of who will
do. or try to do, something about
them,
Until few days ago the two most
vocal of the Republican candidates,
Taft and Stassen, were engaged in
reciting the record, chapter and
verse, to prove that the Democrats,
led by Mr.. Truman, were really re-
sponsible for the sudden abandon
ment of price controls. They may
have had reason to think they were
convincing the people and that By
next summer they would have Mr..
Truman in a high-priced doghouse.
Mr.. Truman's speech Monday de-
stroyed that prospect. He switched
the issue from who was guilty IN '46
to who'll be guilty in '48.
It is hard to believe the Repub-
lican leaders, when they have cooled
off, will continue to fight for the
privilege Of being found guilty. 1t
is easier to believe they will decide
to give the President the controls
he asks for and thus get prices out
of politics before the 1948 campaign
warns up. At least, it would be
easier to believe this If you could
also believe the Republican leaders
are able to break the grip Of the
National Association of Manufac-
turers, the National Association of
Real Estate Boards and other such
special interests.

ceilings on and the rationing of
articles that are in short supply and
which basically affect the cost of
