the Nazis' infamous Mauthausen
prison, convicted by an American
military court for the slaughter Of
more than 100000 persons of all ma

largest mass execution in the his
tory of American war crimes prose.

HOUSING:
Unfounded Hope

Popular belief that any substan-
tial reductions in the cost of new
housing will occur in the near fu-
ture is not founded on realities.
That assertion was made by
James c. Downs Jr., president of
the Real Estate Research corpora
ton, who explained that besides
being geared to a high national
debt, housing costs, like prices of
other hard goods, are directly af-
fected by the large demand for
American capital and production by
other countries.
The housing shortage today is
worse than year ago." he said,
"and it will continue to grow pro
gressively worse for some time"
He pointed out that increased
earning power has put a greater
number in the market for new
homes, but at the same time build
ers are afraid to start new con-
struction because of high costs. The
theory that prices would drop kept
many persons from buying or build
ing homes last year, Downs said.

Rough on Rats

Cats, so often thought of as being
good for nothing except purring in
a chimney corner, are regarded by
the American foundation for animal
health as the farmers best friend.
The more kitty eats-if she fol-
lows diet in which rats and mice
are the staple foods-the more
money she makes for her owner. A
Woodworking cat with an uninhib-
tied appetite will turn in a prof. of
about $40 year for a farmer, the
animal health foundation estimates.

Target Of much criticism from
certain elements in congress, the
measure was opposed principally
on the grounds that it represented
a national course which eventually
would render the United Nations
meaningless.
Mr.. Truman, however, defended
the plan with the contention that the
United States, in extending aid to
Greece and Turkey, lis helping to
further aims and purposes identical
with those Of the United Nations"
He added that 1--WE intend to
make sure that the aid we extend
will benefit all the peoples of
Greece and Turkey, not any partic-
ular group or faction The bill en-
powers the President to provide the
Turks and Greeks with financial aid
and military equipment for the pur-
pose of keeping the gates of the
Near East closed to Communism.

AUTO OUTPUT,
Up This Year

There is reasonable chance that
production Of cars and trucks will
reach the five million mark this
year, according to recent an
nouncement by the automotive in
dustry.
The prediction was made notwith-
standing the fact that the scarcity
of sheet steel which has held back
passenger car production for the
past year is expected to continue
for several more months.
However, trucks and other nom
passenger units will make up a
larger than ordinary part of this
years total output.

HEMISPHERIC:
Into the Breach

President Truman has urgently
repeated his last years recommen-
dalton that the U. S. set up pro-
gram for blanket defense of the
entire western hemisphere in the
light of world Developments
The legislation he asks would pro-
vide the United States with author
ity to arm, equip and train the
armies, navies and air forces of all
nations in the western hemisphere.
Nations receiving equipment would
be required to pay for any new ma
terials manufactured specifically
for them.
Mr.. Truman did not specify what
world Developments he was re-
ferring to, but pointed out that they
"give still greater Importance to
this legislation" now.

IT'S WONDERFUL:
Long Time Peace

Announcing the immediate aboli-
ton of capital punishment in Rus
STA, Soviet authorities explained the
move on the grounds that it was
made possible by Russia's growing
strength, the peoples patriotism
and the certainty of peace ''for a
long tirne.''
Said the Moscow radio: "The in
ternatlonal situation during the
time after Germany's capitulation
and Japan's capitulation shows that
the cause of peace can be consid-
cred secure for long time in spite
OF attempts by aggressive elements
to provoke war;"
Meanwhile, Herb rt Hoover
looked on the other side of the mask
to charge Russia with attempting
to bleed the United States through
relief channels and blaming her for
the economic paralysis of Japan
and Germany.
He declared that futher relief will
remain necessary as long as the
Soviets continue their obstructionist
tactics and demands for repara-
tons, thus blocking peace treaties
with the two countries and keeping
their economies paralyzed.

Income Tax Slash Likely for 1913: Knutson

Rep. Harold Knutson (Rep.,
Mimi, original advocate Of the 100
per cent across the board" income
tax reduction plan, is holding to his
contention that congress will vote
an income tax cut this year.
Further, the chairman Of the
house ways and means committee
"sees no reason" why another slash
shouldn't be made in 1913. The Re-
publican program calls for more
tax cuts, Knutson declared.
He said that prospects Of making

POLIO MENACE:
Not Too Bad

Although it is yet too early to
know definitely what course the dis
ease will take this year, the infan-
tile paralysis situation in this coun-
try appears considerably better
than in 1916, according to public
health service officials.
Last year total of approximately
Is, 900 polio cases marked that
twelve month period as the second
worst in history. The worst was 1916
when 27,363 cases were recorded.

payments on the national debt will
be better II taxes are reduced now
than If high tax rates and heavy
tax burdens are maintained for the
purpose Of making a very large
payment on the debt in one year.
Major task facing the country to-
day, he emphasized, is the "rnain-
tenance of jobs, income and well
being for the many by preserving
and promoting the economic mo-
tives and incentives of the few"

the reduction 'directs a sharp cut
at the interests Of the American
farm family and the general well
fare" Anderson said that the
greatest harm" would be to the
soil conservation program, the
farm price support program and
programs designed to help veterans
and low income families become
better established.
The 80 per cent cut would elirni-
nate the Agriculture Adjustment
administration by July !, 1913. Cur
rently, the AAA is carrying on its
basic program Of promoting soil
conservation on 100000 cooperat-
ing farms by paying farmers for
following practices intended to in
crease soil fertility and, hence, to
increase production. The proposed
fund slash would mean that farm
ers this year would be paid about
SO per cent Of what they previously
had been promised.
In answering the criticism, the
house appropriations committee
said that its recommended cuts are
"selective" and ACKNOWLEDGMENT
on actual farm needs.

NO POTATOES:
Wheat Is Cheaper

A paradox In potatoes, whereby
thousands of bushels of the tubers
have had to be destroyed in this
country because starving Europe
refused to take them, was described
to the international emergency food
council by John w. Gannaway of
the department of agriculture's po-
tato branch.
Because spring potatoes rot so
rapidly unless refrigerated, the only
way they could be shipped to Eu-
rope would be to dehydrate them.
The U. S. offered to give the pota-
toes to European countries for the
cost of dehydration.
Gannaway said the offer was
turned down because foreign gov
ernments can buy American wheat
for six cents pound.
The situation was outlined by
Gannaway as an explanation of
why the u. S. destroyed $4,000 bush
els of potatoes, costing the govern
ment $4,000, this spring.

No Boredom Clause?
With typical movieland vervs,
four Los Angeles theaters have had
an insurance policy written by
Lloyds Of London to cover possible
accidents to patrons from "over-
enjoyment" of a motion picture.
Under terms of the policy, $40, 600
will be paid If a patron dies Of
laughter; $500 if he breaks leg or
rib while laughing, and $3.50 if
patrons jaw locks from laughing at
the picture.
The policy apparently does not
pay off for anything as simple and
harmless as going into a case Of
Mysteries.

possessing remarkable strength.
Because it is waterproof it may be

CHANCES ARE when you have
headache that your brain is swol-
len. That, at any rate, is the opinion
Of DR.. Broda o Barnes Of Kingman,
Ariz., who bases his belief on an
eight-year study of the headache,
an ailment he says brings one out
Of every seven to the doctor. He
says that fatigue plays a major role
in starting headache, and he
backs up his swollen brain" theory
with this reasoning: Swelling of
the feet is quite common during ex-
cessive fatigue and it seems rea-
sonable that the brain also should
swell, causing undue pressure in
the rigid Uranium, with pain re-
sulting."

U. sual1y it is the mana cement that is to blame it may be the marlle t but certainly not ourselves. You get a little miffed be- cause your produce was turned down and so you show them by selling sonewher else. Sure you get a little money in your pocket at the time that uouldh't have been there if you hadn't t--but in the long run you lose.
 If a number of poonle start ping the same thing you did, you hurt your market to the extent that they cannot get the best prices for the produce they have on hand to sell. Some day you will need the assistance Of your co-op in moving your produce and you will find the market ruined. Tho ruined it--why you did. You are well acqua inted with the quotation, we must all hanO to- cether or we shall all hand separately" This is just as true today as it ever was. Perhaps the Co-op isn't getting the top prices that you feel they should. Top prices are built up over a period of time in which the merchandise hand1e5 by a concern has proven that they had a super- for product--that it is dependable and
 just what the producer says it is. No st of us are fami1 jar with Land o'Lakes butter for instance. This butter usually sells a little higher than other butter.
