INVITATIONS:
Grain Battle

Three Of the nations major grain
exchanges, smarting under Presi-
dent Humans accusation that their
speculation" is responsible for pre-
vailing high prices of cereals, have
carried the attack into the enemy
camp by requesting special con-
gressional investigation by the joint
committee on the economic report.
The request was made by the Chi
cago board of trade, Kansas City
board of trade and the Minneapolis
grain exchange in a letter to Sen.
Robert Taft (Rep., o. and Rep.
Jesse P. Wolcott (Rep., Mich.), CO.
chairmen of the committee. Taft re-
sponded Immediately with a prom
Use of further hearings.
Countering Mr.. Truman's repeat
ed charges that gambling and specu-
lation by grain exchanges have
boosted food prices higher, the ex-
change officials commended that the
real cause of the rise in grain prices
is the administration "extraordi-
nary and ever increasing purchases
OF grain and flour for export" Adj
ministration "bungling and lack of
planning also were cited by the
grain officials.
Wherever the truth may leland
it probably is somewhere midway
between the government and grain
exchange viewpoints - it should be
recognized that a force akin to a
minor economic law is operating in
this particular controversy:
Normal government reaction,
whenever grain prices shoot above
what is considered a safe level, is to
lay the blame on the grain ex-
changes, charging them with ma
nipulating prices through specula-
ton. That has occurred often
enough in u. S. history to bear out
the theory. Grain dealers, of course,
invariably blame the situation on
over-exporting.
From that standpoint, at least, an
investigation at this time should
shed some new light on the long
standing controversy. It might even
provide some real information on
why prices are so high.

HUGHES AND CRIES:
Inquiry Renewed

Howard Hughes had just barely
Struggled his monster plywood flying
boat back into its berth after max
ing tentative, mile-long fight in it
over Long Beach harbor when the
reopened congressional inquiry into
the now celebrated wartime air.
plane contracts threw a fresh
shower Of sparks around the mil
ionaire sportsman and industrialist.
Elliott Roosevelt, former air force
brigadier general, was brought into
the proceedings again because Of his
insistence that Hughes Fill photo
reconnaissance plane be put into
production for the army during the
war.
A new issue was introduced in the
form Of a purported "tax def
ciency'' Of almost six million dollars
on the books against Hughes and his
companies. Sen. Homer Ferguson
(Rep., Mich.), chairman of the war
investigating subcommittee, was
quick to point out, however, that
mo crime or fraud" was involved.

BIC FOUR:
PeSsin1iSn1,

With the inminence of the most
vital international occurrence of re-
cent months-the Big Four foreign
ministers meeting in London on No.
vember Is - the mood surrounding
the coming conference was predom-
inantly one of pessimism.
That there was much justification
for such pessimism, no one doubted.
When the chief representatives of
the U. S., Great Britain, France and
Russia come together they will
tackle the tough, deadlocked prob
lens of writing peace treaties for
Germany and Austria.
Deputy foreign ministers, in Lon
don to dispense with preliminaries
before Marshall, Molotov, Bevin and
Bidault put their heads together,
said the powers were as badly split
as ever on major issues.
1t the conference fails, as it is
very likely to do, the u. S. will have
to face the question of whether or
not it wants to conclude separate
peace with that portion of Germany
outside the Russian-occupied zone.
Such treaty, not involving the So
viets, probably would precipitate
final split between this nation and
Russia.
Nevertheless, sentiment has been
rising in the U. S. favoring such an
action if the Soviets refuse to CO.
operate in Strengthening out the
problems of Germany James F.
Byrnes, former secretary of state,
advocated that course, as have
other responsible officials.
The corollary to that proposition
is that the U. S. then must follow
through by keeping itself strong
militarily and economically, prov
ing to the rest of the world that it
has embarked on definite policy
course and that that course is the
right one.

BIPARTISAN:
De,Uey's Idea

Gov. Thomas E. Dewey Of New
York may not yet be candidate
for the Republican presidential
nomination, but he continues to act
suspiciously like he intends to join
Messrs. Taft and Stassen in the ring
at any given moment.
In his most recent public pro-
nouncement, Dewey gave a broad
endorsement to the Marshall plan
for aiding Europe, urging prompt
and effective help for free nations
abroad but demanding that it be ad-
n1inistered on a business-like basis
under genuinely bipartisan direc-
ton"
Thus, he remained on reasonably
safe ground politically, but at the

throughout the war. With the COM
ing Of peace, he was made the u. S.
representative on the European SUI
pervisory council; and in 1916,
President Truman named him per-
manent u. S. representative on the
United Nations economic and social
council.
But his health began to fail, and
he resigned his post last December
to return to private life and to write
his memoirs. Early this month he
had finished the first book.
Then, in his home at Concord,
N. H., at the age of So. John G.
Winant put .32-caliber Belgian pis-
toll to his head and pulled the trig-
ger.

RUSS SEEK DOCTORS:
For Red Zone

The Russians are staging an In
tensive recruiting drive for physi-
clans and surgeons to serve in the
Red zone of Germany, issuing their
appeals wherever they can establish
contact with the Western zones.
A Soviet survey of medical re-
sources has revealed that so many
doctors, nurses, chemists, labora-
tory technicians and other person.
mel have fed westward that hospi-
tails cannot be stated adequately.
One probable reason for the short
age is that many doctors who nor
mally would be practicing in what
is now the Red zone still are re-
tanned in prisoner-o f-war camps in
Russia, according to reports.
First official call to German doc
tors to return was timed to coincide
with the revelation of dissatisfaction
by West German doctors with the
state of public health as a result Of
hunger and privation.
The Russians say there is a medi-
cal shortage because the Western
zones lure doctors away from home
to serve 'smonopolist capitalism

the sums allocated to France and
Italy.
Approximately $50 million dollars
Of the total appropriation would be
earmarked to take care of the obli-
cations Great Britain has failed to
meet in her zone of occupied Ger
many. The British say they will be
unable to carry out their half of the
bargain in Germany because Of
their inability to get dollars to spend
for supplies in the United States.
It all made for a confused and
complex picture which well could be
ikened to the fantastic distractions
that pass for modern art-a tumble
of weird forms largely incompre-
hensible to the eye of the average
beholder.
But the interim relief, intended
only as an oxygen tent to keep de-
mocrary in Western Europe breath
ing through the winter, was only
part of the problem for congress. On
top Of that, 1t will have to consider
the six or seven billion dollars to be
requested in connection with the
long-range Marshall plan for even
tual recovery Of 16 European ma
tons.

He did not mention, but probably
was thinking, that such a scheme
would offer less chance of admins
trative fumbling than if the pro-
gram were to be steered by the
arbitrary dictates of a single
agency.
Specifically, Dewey proposed a
six-point program covering terms of
U. S. loans and methods under
which the Marshall plan should
operate.

Scientists to Explore Bottom of World in HeIcopter

Burgers Oasis" 300 = square =
mile, barren, rock-strewn area on
the Knox coast of the Antarctic con-
tinent, will be explored by a group
of scientists operating from a hell
copter this winter.
The region deserves the term
'oasis' only in that it is an ice-free
region existing in a land otherwise
covered with massive layers of gla-
cial ice.
Since its discovery by 1t. Cmdr.
c. E. Bunger last January, the
oasis, largest ice-free area south of
the Antarctic circle, has been the
subject Of much dispute. This win
ter's expedition, led by Cmdr. G. L.
Ketchum, will travel aboard navy
icebreaker to within fight distance
of the oasis, which has at least 10
open-water lakes.
It was first described as being To-
Gated about 20 miles inland from the
coast, with an elevation of about 200
feet and entirely cut off from the
sea.
Since then, however, analysis of
water taken from one of the lakes
has shown that it is "salt sea water

NO RELIEF:
Food Shortage

Whatever the year 1948 brings to
the American people, it won't be an
increase in the food supply.
Latest department of agriculture
prediction is that food supplies on
the U. S. home front will shrink
even lower next year, while retail
food prices will remain high for
most Of 1913.
Those forecasts supplemented a
report by Sir John Boyd Orr, direc-
tor general of the U. N. food and
agriculture organization, that world
supplies of bread cereals are 10 mil
lion tons short of the amount needed
to maintain even the present mea-
ger rations in many lands.
When that figure is compared with
the two million tons of grain which
the U. S. food-saving campaign is
expected to make available, the true
scope of the food shortages becomes
apparent.
There is no hope that the present
shortage will end with the 1948 har-
vest" Orr said.
Meanwhile, the agriculture de-
partment estimated that u. S. con-
sumers would have more sugar,
cheese, butter, bananas and dried
food in 1913 than in 1947.

JOHN WINANT:
Man of Principle

John C. Winant often said he was
not interested in politics and politi-
cal jobs, but in principles, and as
man of principle in public offices, he
held determinedly to that philoso-
ply
Although not a native of New
