Europe Requires Production Aids For SelfsuppOrt

WASHINGTON,-(P)-A secret government study concludes that Europe, to be self-supporting, must raise its production higher than pre-war level and will re- quire help to do so.
 Top government researchers concerned with international ec- onomicS for European recovery proposed by secretary of state Marshall. They used informa- ton which has been assembled by the state and other depart ments concurrent with the l6-na- tion conference in Paris on the Marshall plan.
 Qn Paris today, a food and ag- riculture subcommittee of the conference estimated some $2l,- 90O,OOO,O0O will be needed from the United States by these Euro pean nations in the next four years to spend abroad for food or the means to produce it.
 The report is primarily a sur vey of what is the problem, rath- CT than an attempt to propose solutions, but it reaches numh- Der of conclusions.

Howard Hughes recently

Howard Hughes recently demonstrate
ed a simple, inexpensive radar set which
warns a pilot flying in conditions of
poor visibility that he is heading for
a mountain or similar obstacle. Such
a device, of course, has long been need
ed, as the record of mountain crashes
indicates.
But we hope that the dashing Mr..
Hughes was just showing off when
he demonstrated his new instrument
for he was picking up the mountains
ahead on his radar scope at a distance
of 500 feet. At the moderate airplane
speed of 100 miles an hour, this would
give the pilot a wink less than two
seconds to pull up or over and avoid
a crash.
Clearly Mr.. Hughes has a good idea
here. But even to the non-flyer it might
seem to need a few refinements.

ones here, are thinking of plans,
immediate and ~long-range, to enlarge
their facilities and otherwise i'm
prove themselves to keep pace with
the tremendous public demands upon
them.
Because of the great role they
have in the continuous program to
better health standards, they must
maintain a progressive attitude and,
whenever possible, transmit it into
constructive action. Most have done
this in the past, often under severe
handicaps.
Now relief is on the way for the
overcrowded conditions in North
Carolina hospitals. The last legisla-
ture passed measures necessary to
make possible, on the part of the
state, more hospitals and more doc
tors for the c~itizenry. Nurse recruit
ment campaigns will be conducted to
properly staff these new institutions
in order that adequate medical care
can be provided for every North
Carolinian in need of disqualification.
But the success of this program
will depend on the public's sincere
interest and desire to work with it's
hospitals in helping them achieve
their aims. And Hospital Day and
Week make available a fine oppor-
tunity to emphasize this cooperation,
so necessary to the common cause of
better health among more people.

Vandenberg And Dewey

This weeks Gallup poll, devoted to
opinions of Republican voters on their
party's leading presidential possibili-
ties, brings out the interesting but not
startling fact that Senator Vandenberg
is we'll ahead of Senator Taft in public
esteem.
Mr.. Dewey, as usual, is first. MI.
Stassen, only n openly declaring
himself as a seeker of the nomination,
is listed second, his usual position in
most polls. Then come Senators Van
denberg and Taft.
DR.. Gallup's opinion samplers on this
assignment did not try to get a relative
ranking of the men. Instead, they
asked all what they thought of each
of them. The list also included Bricker,
Warren and Saltonstall among COP
presidential material for 1913. But it
is easy to see the difference between
Mr.. Vandenberg and Mr.. Taft in the
minds Of the Republicans. And the way
they look upon them is, we believe,
similar to the public trend.
Forty-nine per cent of those ques-
toned regarding the Michigan senator
were favorable to him, only 81 per cent
were so inclined toward his contempor-
airy from Ohio. But Mr.. Vandenberg's
"unfavorable" listing was but 10 per
cent compared with 81 for the other
gentleman.
The reaction is not unexpected.
Both are the party's most prominent
leaders in the upper house. Mr.. Van
denberg is a specialist in foreign policy;
Mr.. Taft has a comparable role in
domestic affairs. While the Michigan
lawmaker has shown great wisdom and
ability in handling his important assign
ment, especially in cooperating with the
opposition party, such cannot be said
for Mr.. Taft. The public recognizes
this with the result that while Mr.. Van
denberg has grown in it's eyes, Mr..
Taft has become smaller. In addition,
it is obvious that the former is taking
far less interest in his future political
fortunes than the latter.
Mi. 'V%andenberg's immediate task is
to help establish permanent world
peace.
Mr.. Taft's first job, because of the
position of his party, is to help assure
continued prosperity at home.
There is little doubt about the COM
parative degree of ability and determi-
nation, as well as resultant success,
each has shown in meeting his RESPONSE
bilities. We believe the Gallup poll
measures it quite accurately.

NEW TASK FORCE
FORMED BY ARMY
TO TEST WEAPONS

weapons and equipment this sum-
mer in the Arizona desert near
Yuma - where the temperature

guns, mines, radio sets and other
equipment function in extreme
desert conditions.
The Task Force is assembling
at Fort Knox, KY. 1t will include
800 officers and men from Fort
Knox, and detachments from Fort
Benning, Ca, Fort Bliss, Tex,
and the 9th army at the San Fran
