Income Disparities

Real income" of wage and sal.
ary earners continues to drop, while
farmers income still is rising, ii
has been revealed by monthly In.
vestors Syndicate survey Of purchas-
ing power. Real income" is the re.
lationship of revenue to the cost Of
living.
Wage and salary earners now
have only about SO cents of buying
power for each dollar year ago,
while farmers have approximately
$1.09.
At the same time, the biggest
cause Of the wage earners' problem
is the sharp rise in the price OF
food. The average family now pays
more than $1.31 for the same amount
of food that dollar bought year
ago. It also pays $1.06 for each dol
lar on rent, $1.18 to the 1946 dollar
for clothing and $1.23 for miscellane-
Gus expenses.
''This continued divergence be-
tween farm and city buying power, I"
the survey pointed out, indicates
that a serious unbalance may
threaten the stability Of our econ
omy. A close balance is essential" !"

RECOCNITION:
Playing Safe

Not as a gesture of approval, but
rather as a means of keeping in
formed of internal developments did
the United States grant full diplo-
matte recognition to the Commu-
nist-dominated government of Bull
garia.
Robert A. Lovett, U. S. acting
secretary of state, said that the ac-
ton meant neither that this country
approved nor condoned certain Ee-
cent actions of the Bulgarian gov
ernment."
Although he did not say so, Lovett
obviously referred to Bulgaria's ex-
ecution of Nikola Petkov, leader Of
the opposition to the Communists.
Previously, recognition of the Bull
garian government was withheld on
the grounds that the pro-Soviet re-
gime had been elected unfairly, but
now the U. S. felt that it was more
important to have an embassy in
the country to protect American in
tereStS there.

SAME AS IN 500 I'D.

DR.. Thor Heyerdahl, 32-year-old
Norwegian enthnologist and zoolo-
gist, had theory that the first Poly
nesians were blue-eyed blondes who
floated over to their Pacific is
lands from South America on RATS
in about the year 500 A. D.
What he did about proving that
theory now is history. He and a
party of six men built themselves
a primitive raft of bamboo and balsa
wood, climbed aboard and set them
selves adrift at Callao, Peru.
Exactly 101 days later the scien-
tific group drifted ashore on their
raft, the Kon-Tiki, at Raroia reef
in the Tuamotu archipelago, center

LITTLE HOPE:
Less Coal

There is little or no hope spring
ing in the collective breast Of off,
cial Washington that the coal short
age this winter can be averted.
Current estimates place coal pro-
duction as running several million
tons a month behind exports and
domestic consumption, principally
because of the coal car shortage.
This has resulted in winter stock
piles depreciating instead of grow
ing, as they normally would.
It was hoped at first that some re-
lief would come when winter wealth
er stops or curtails road-building
and construction, thus permitting di-
version of sand and gravel cars to
the coal fields. However, a railroad
spokesman said the diversion of
such cars would do nothing but off
set a normal 10 per cent drop in
railroad efficiency in winter.

motors, oars or sails. Their only
means of propulsion on the 4,3OO-
mile trip had been the Humboldt
and South Equatorial current.
That, said DR.. Heyerdahl as he
landed in San Francisco en- route to
Norway, provided ''indubitable
proof of the veracity of his theory.

ney demonstrates it could have been
done around 500 A. D., when the

Dispensing of NeIUs
Is Vital to u. NJ.

The longer I serve, covering these
meetings, the more I realize that
the most important of all the
groups, not excluding the delegates
themselves, are those which serve
to dispense the news and informa-
tion concerning the United Nations.
It would be impossible, of
course, for enough people to
visit the sessions to affect pub
lie opinion greatly. But many of
the people who do come go back
with a message which stirs
great interest in the Organiza-
ton in their communities. Proof
of this interest was contained
in the report of the secretary
general, Lie, when he said that
information had been sent out
and other steps taken in cooper
alton with thousand meetings
in the past year.
But more important than any
thing else are the actual reports of
press and radio direct from one or
the other Of the two headquarters,
or as a result Of the many inter-
views with members of the perrna-
nent secretariat.
Here is what they've done with
radio alone:

NEW FIGHT:
Recalls YaLtd

In the u. N. another scarehead of
possible failure and collapse Of that
organization arose as the U. S. and
Russia plunged into a new skirm-
ish.
The issue: Which nation shall sue
ceed pro-Russian Poland on the Sc
curity council. Poland has represent
ed eastern Europe and the Slav bloc
for two years. Russia wants the
Ukraine, which, although an inte-
grail part of the Soviet Union, have
a separate U. N. delegation. U. S.
contention is that the Ukraine is not
a sovereign nation, therefore does
not rate separate status.
In the background of the affair
was the Stain Roosevelt Yalta
agreement which gave the Soviet
Union three votes in the United Ma
tons. Russia proper, the Ukraine
and White Russia each has one.
How the U.S.S.R. came to get
three votes probably happened
something like this: Both the
Ukraine and White Russia, intense
ly nationalistic, did not like to lose
their identities by being merged
with greater Russia. The Communist
politburo, therefore, as a sop to
their nationalisn, granted the two
territories a sort of nominal inde-
pendence.
At Yalta, then, Stain told Roose-
velt that he wanted the Ukraine
and White Russia to be repre-
sented in the U. N. for internal
reasons" F.D.R., being an old poll
tician and sympathetic with Inter
nar' difficulties, agreed.
Thus, the stage was set for one
of the most serious battles yet to
develop within the United Nations.
Arizona sun., 1947-10-17

that under the present structure Of
the United Nations, where unani-
nous agreement on the part Of the
major powers before major steps
could be taken, is required, the only
force behind the whole idea Is the
force of public opinion.
AS this is being written, the ques-
ton of the report of committee on
tele-communications is being dis
cussed. The plans envisioned by the
men on the United Nations who
realize the Importance Of strength
ening the opinion-forming force Of
the organization, are not too gran
dose to be practical but they do in
volve expenses which make their
completion uncertain. Nations of the
world are all feeling. the pinch Of
poverty and there is a strong move
to cut expenses.
A part of the tele-communica-
tions plan was q radio network
which would dispense objective
world news for all the world.
To show you how well the meagre
efforts along those lines already
have succeeded, I was, told by
the radio liaison division that
even the Russian reporters who,
as you know. work for news
papers which are under strict
censorship, which permit no
news which doesn't suit their
needs, have begun to ask for
items issued by the United Ma
tions because they are so fair,
SO objective that no one could
accuse them of containing prop
aganda for any one nation.
The men on the staff of the United
Nations are not all perfect. There
are a number of weak sisters. But
on the whole, it is surprising to see
how the majority of them has been
able to develop worldwide view
point, an attitude whose whole pol
icy is based on world understanding
and the perpetuation of peace.

the debates for listeners in 16
countries.
The French, Spanish, Chinese and
Russian sections of the radio divi-
sion also are preparing to broadcast
adaptations of one of the u. N. pro-
grams which will be offered in
transcription to stations unable to
relay the original broadcast.
The two services most widely re-
layed, because of the high quality

other United Nations bodies, inter-
views with delegates, background
talks, recorded excerpts from
speeches in debate and short fea-
lures.

ism increased at the current session
and it became clear that confidence
in the United Nations was being
undermined, the importance of the

are shocked, frightened and dis
couraged to find that those same
nations which created the United
Nations so openly disagree. He
called for a rebirth of the "San
Francisco spirit" the spirit which
we all felt in those hopeful days
when the United Nations was born.
A colleague of mine, most re-
strained and thoughtful commenta-
tor (Pauline Frederick. with con-
siderable experience here and
abroa0 told me something which is
worth repeating. She was interview
ing Eleanor Roosevelt at luncheon
at Hyde Park. Whatever you may
think of Mrs. Roosevelt's domestic
politics you must know in what high
regard she is held as member OF
the American delegation to the
United Nations.
= My colleague asked her if her
heart weren't heavy over the
world situation today. haven't
her exact words here, but Mrs.
Roosevelt replied in the mega
tive. She said we had expected
too much too soon from the Unit
ed Nations. And then she went on
to point out what SO many of
the delegates have said, name
Iy, that faulty and Ineffective
as the United Nations may be,
it is far better than nothing.
How many times have 1 heard
that from even the most cynical
of the reporters and observers
here!
AS the New York Times re-
marked in a recent editorial, lit
cannot be stressed too often that
the struggle brought to a head in
this session of the general assembly
is not against the Soviet Union but
FOR the United Nations. The most
striking thing, the editorial added,
is ''the determination of the United
Nations (that means the member
nations) to survive.
One strange phenomenon sOtich ap-
pears to persons not too tOeU acquainted

Urge Food Conservation;

DIATETICS:
Waste Less

Lips that sincerely frame the
words flood conservation" will not
touch such sturdy edibles as meat,

Charles Luckman, head Of Presi-
dent Truman's citizens food COM
mittee, opened the widely heralded
waste less" campaign by calling on
the American people to cut their
consumption of those three items,
thereby effecting conservation Of
grain for Europe.
At the same time, it was disclosed
that stop-gap aid for Europe this
winter may run as much as 300 mil
lion dollars-22O million more that
Mr.. Truman had estimated earlier.
The appeal for Americans to cut
down on the amount of foods requir-
ing grain feeding was couched in a
five-point program which, if fol-
lowed, will eliminate the traditional
race for the last chop on the platter
it won't be there.
Those FIVE diatetic command
ments were: II Buy cheaper
meat cuts) q Don't serve too
much; 81 Don't overlook meat;
~ Use leftoVers; 81 Save wheat
in all other possible ways.
In the future was the possibility
that a voluntary program of meat

of bread loaves would be put into
effect.

Fred O'Brien, Jr.. Eagle center,
intercepted a MeGill pass on the

the Pascagoula Warriors were
marking time, after being rained
out of an outing with Picayune on
the coast.
Taking the ball on the opening
kickoff, the Rebs Fingered a re-
lentless ground attack to roll from
their own % to a touchdown,
picking up five first downs on the
way. Game Captain David Eidt
Buzz Radcliffe and Gene Niece
hee alternated in handling the
ball with Radcliffe in charge at
the payoff. An aerial attempt
for the extra point failed.
Another first-period Rebel score
was set up by Tackle Fred Schlee
who covered a Tiger tumble on
the Moss Point 40. A 81 yard
pass from Foster to Eidt struck
pay dirt. Ralph Thompson's boot
for the point was good.
Midway of the second quar-
ter Halfback Bubber Kaiser inter
cepted a Moss Point pass, and
Natchez took possession on first
down, after the ball had been
placed on the Natchez A, after a
clipping penalty. Three ground
plays and a completed pass plac-
ed the oval on the Moss Point
25, and a rs yard money pass
from Foster to Claude Porter net
ted the third Natehez touchdown.
A kicking attempt at conversion
was blocked.
In the third period, five Rebel
running plays carried the pigskin
from the Natchez 30 to the Moss
Point goal line. Foster plunged
from the six for the score. Thomp-
sons kick for the point was good.
Another pass interrogation, this
time by McGehee, started the
Rebs rolling on their last trip to
pay dirt late in the final period.
Three ground plays carried the
ball from the Natchez 35 to the
Moss Point 80. There Foster
cooked his arm for a pass to
Thompson, who was downed on
the Tiger 20. After two incom-
plete passes, Foster slashed to
plete passes. Foster slashed be-
tween right end and tackle to
score. Again Thompson's kick
was good.
Moss Point was held to a net
gain of q yards rushing by an
