That's That
 By BRUCE GUSTIN

When it comes to helping to feed European people, why not send them some of our surplus food? Wheat isn't the only thing that they can use. Recently a dis patch from Greybull, Wyo., stated that bean elevators in the Big 'Horn basin are accepting beans for storage only and are not buying them because there is no market for beans. Why isn't the govern ment buying these beans and send ing them to Europe if there is such dire need over there for American food supplies?

The Crystal Ball Shows
(By Palmer Hoyt)

(By Palmer HOyt).
 EVEN AS WESTERN EUROPE sits and waits for the United States Congress to consider the Marshall plan the effects of participation in the "Stan pan are be- ing felt in eastern European nations which declined participate in the European recovery program
 Actually there is no "Stan plan,' but the negative attitude forced upon eastern Europe gave rise to belief that the Russians would take some positive action to aid their satellite countries they abstaned from the pro- gram of general European recovery.
 Immediately after the Paris conference Soviet dipo- mats buSed themselves with formulation of trade treat ieS These agreements made between Russia and her SattelteS and the satellites further signed ments among themselves To date those treaties have not borne much fruit The latest announcement which from Hungary revealed that the Sovies expected several million dollars worth of Hungarian machinery but this did not specify what the Hungarians would receive in return.
 Recently the Czechoslovakian government must have doubted the wisdom of it's refusal to cooperate with western Europe. The government announced 20 per cent cut in the Czech bread ration for the month of Mo- vember Cuts in other food rations made and the amount of wheat flour in bread was drastcay sashed
 While the Marshall plan is yet nothing but idea and list of requirements, such must strengthen in the minds of Europeans They do know that as yet the nonparticpating nations have received nothing from Russia. But this news strengthens so it places larger burden on the United States for aid must be definite and if advantage to be taken of the Soviet default to it's satellites.
 In the bare Marshall proposal there hope for Eu rope When 1t is finally approved and carried out there will be than that Meanwhile the people of eastern Europe are watching They should mediate on the events of recent years, and the aid policies of both America and Russia if they the answer to their own future

Taxes

(ROcky Mountain NeWS)
 REPUBLICAN LEADERS of Congress have agreed with President Truman that there should be leg isation in the special session.
 This makes Most ofthe special sessions will be devoted to foreign aid, and not much could be done about taxes in short time
 But the tax problem cannot be avoided in the regular session starting in January. The taxes pay and how they laid and the amount of money the government spends at home and abroad all affect directly our prices living standards and the health of our eco- homie system
 They are of general pattern and should be consd- cred as whole In the past have tried unWsely to deal with these matters separately and piecemeal with the result that have let nflationary pressres deve op that strain and threaten economic system
 That system is the goose that lays those golden eggs which feed the governments big spending appetite and support the 258bilon-doar public debt Competitive private enterprise has it's faults but it also is the only system in the world today that fnc toning in big way, producing the goods the world must have in this postwar crisis.
 For sake and the worlds, we must keep our eco- homie system lusty and expanding Which is why we cannot for long ignore taxes.
 Levies and laws that gum up the works of econo mic machine are unwise They prevent the risking of capital to build and expand industries jobs produce goods at lower prices, and in the end larger revenues
 There many such levies and laws in our present jerrybuit tax structure We'll have to say about them when Congress gets around the general renova ton job.

Mrs. Auguste Nikolaus,
 39 Hallgartenstrasse, Frankfurt am Main, Germany

September 18th, l941. To The Town Mayor of Nome, Alaska.
 Dear Sir,
 The appalling food-cond tions in our country induce me to direct request for help to you dear Mayor, with my heart full of con- fidence, because I am not such a lucky person as to have relatives or acquaintances in the States.
 You certainly are we'll informed about the critical situation over here, and I may refrain from en- larging on this subject at this iuncture.
 am a poor German woman, who lost everything by the events of the dreadful war. Now I am es- pecially deeply in sorrow about my II year old daughter Ursula, because she is more than 20 pounds underfed and very weak and in a constant danger to con tract t.b. As the food rations in Germany have lowered to a crit;- cal point, she has no possibility to recover. It is a sad fact that we hardly can live on the rations we actually get. Owing to an unusual dry summer, we are even now vir- tually out of potatoes, which con- stitute the bulk of Germany'S skimpy diets.
 Much is done by your generous nation to overcome our present bad situation, and we all in Ger many are deeply touched by :he good will and collaboration you people show toward us. This spirit has been created by your good pioneers of the past and devel- oped by the following generations to its present high standard. Now it is coming to the rescue of all Europe.
 No doubt, you, dear Mayor, have an understanding for the agonizing feelings of a mother, who must witness the slow fading away by hunger and misery of her beloved children and therefore show an understanding for my entreaty to you.
 l would feel much obliged to you, if you could arrange any thing in that direction, even if it is only small help. We really ap- preciate anything. Should you, however, not be able to accom- plish my request, can very well understand that you'll be other wise claimed, engaged and ob- liged to help, I would be extreme ly thankful to you, dear Mayor, with all my heart, if you might have the kindness to recommend me and my address in the circle of your friends or citizens, who are able and in situation to help.
 I assure you that nothing could be more welcome tidings than the accomplishment of my request. For your kindness I shall always consider myself in your debt.
 Very sincerely yours,
Jackson advocate. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1939-current, 1947-10-11

General Lee
Charges False

Washington, d. c. - Charges
made by Robert C. Ruark, news
paper columnist, against Lieuten-
ant General John G. Lee, COM
manding general of the Mediter-
ranean theater, were found by Ma
jor General Ira T. Wyche, the Ar
my Inspector General to present a
wholly false picture of the con-
ditions in that theater.
The report of the Inspector
General, made public last Friday
concerned charges made by Mr..
Ruark in a series OF articles in
which he described General Lee
as a "rank-conscious, luxury and
pleasure loving commander who,
with his staff subjects the enlist
ed men of his command to out
rageously brutal and abusive trea-
tment to a degree comparable to
that practiced by the Germans on
inmates of concentration camps.
A good percentage of the troops
under the command of Lee and
their dependents, mostly officers
wives and children, were colored.
General Lee, however, had won a
reputation among the colored
troops and colored people in the
United States because he had been
responsible for giving colored
troops a chance to fight shoulder
to shoulder with the white troops
in the European theater.
The Inspector Generals report
admitted that there had occurred
few isolated cases of maladmin-
istration and probably miscarriage
es of justice, but said General Lee
had not condoned or fostered any
of them.

political campaign promise by the

there was large demand for
them," he explained.
Then realizing that Along The

the Maine green back, the yellow
back or the diamond back, Mr..

out the fine distinctions among the
different species.

the diamond back, they are "a

grow to over seven inches across

Whereas, the others grow te
about 600 to 100 pounds" he

CONTROVERSY AGAIN - Just
when We were beginning to
believe that the residents of the
Port City and the Lower Cape
Fear region had agreed that the
trout was the finest eating fish
found in the adjacent waters, we
|received a negative vote.
"Along the Cape Fear has
had a lot of letters as of late
from different people about the
best eating fish around these
parts" Mr.. Charles Mallard OF
Maffitt Village writes.
'Most of them seem to think
that trout is the first in this and
1 will agree.
''But, as for the best thing to
eat that comes out of salt water,
of which we have plenty, it is
the common sea turtle" he al
lows.
FIELD EXPANDING - N o W
since Mr.. Mallard has entered a
turtle in the best eating fish

the contest to include all types Of
seafood.
'"There are several different
species that live and raise around
these parts" Mr.. Malard re

Greek-Turkish aid program.
Although O'Daniel criticized
wasting our substance upon alier

would vote.
Instead he lashed out at the
"prodigal sons OF the new deaP'
who he said have associated wit
''pinkos. reds and all other breed

Moreover, he said, he has
