Grains, which are basic factor in
all food costs because they are fed
to meat and dairy animals, are sub
stantially higher than under OPA
controls. In Kansas City, where the
record breaking billion bushel wheat
crop is just beginning to arrive, win
ter wheat is selling for $2.18 to 1922
bushel against former ceiling of
$201. In Minneapolis, spring wheat
sold for $2.74 to $284 against ceiling

Prices of some commodities seem
destined to rise even higher! Mems
worsted suits, which had a ceiling of
$40, now sell for $47.50 and the cloth
ing trade says the fall line of suits
and overcoats will be priced even
higher
Meanwhile financial analysts re-
ported the securities market moved
downward during the first half of
1947, despite a good June recovery.
Long term security transactions were
among the lightest in several years.
Commodities, on the other hand,
scared. Bonds trailed with shares.
Stocks developed considerable ir-
regularity in June's last week as
widespread coal mine walkouts fol-
lowed the overriding of the Labor
Bill veto and threatened production
in heavy industry, including steel and
motors.
Government Surplus
A bright spot, however, was the
government surplus reported by the
federal government at the end of its
1946-47 fiscal year. Totals for all but
the last five days in June show a
surplus of $1,142, 1926, 900, but experts
said that despite influx of June tax
receipts, an interest payment of
more than $5O0,O00,000 on the $751;
700,000,000 national debt would bring
the final balance we'll below the
$1,250,000,0O0 surplus forecast by
President Truman two months ago.
The surplus is the first since 1890
and only the 74th in the nations
history. Treasury records reveal there
were 83, years in which the govern
ment operated in the red compared
with "a in the black.

A One-Mon Show?

A One-Mon Show!
Intimation by British foreign Of
flee spokesman that Britain is dis
satisfied with some aspects of Ameri-
can policy in Japan Sharpens a
growing disagreement over funda-
mental policy between Gen. Douglas
Macarthur and virtually all nations
involved in the occupation.
Representatives of several nations
have claimed previously that Mac
Arthur is too independent as Allied
supreme commander and is running a
predominantly American occupation,
minimizing foreign participation.
British and Soviet officials have
criticized MacArthur's reform pro-
gram as incomplete, too strongly con-
servative and too lenient toward GER
tain japanese.
Some nations, including Britain,
China and Australia, say Macarthur
is trying to soften" reparations and
grant Japan higher industrial level
than desirable.
On the other hand, Gen. Macarthur
is frankly impatient with information
al indecision. He contends privately
that U.S.-dominated occupation of
Japan has prevented the disharmony
existing in Germany.
Macarthur also points out that the
US. is footing the bill for keeping
Japan on an even keel economically
and contends other powers want a
voice in affairs without paying for it.

First Anniversary Reflections

FIRST Anniversary Reflections
One year after the first Bikini atom
bomb exploded (June 80 US. time,
July l Bikini time), scientists barred
some of their conclusions about man.
kinds most terrific force.
Atomic weapons are works of ev-
luton, rather than revolution, de-
clared R. Adm. w. S. Parsons, Navy
director of atomic defense, predicting
that development would be slow. He
felt that at least for the coming gen.
Grafton, control of the sea would con
tinue to be decisive.
Baby Atom Bombs
A War Department scientist fore
cast that atomic wars of the future
may be fought with bombs of the
size used in the Bikini tests rather
than the greater bombs some strate-
giStS have been envisioning.
DR.. r. E. Lapp of the War Depart
ment General Staff's research and de-
velopment division, cited two military
reasons why present-Size A-bombs
are likely to be used. One is the fact
that two small bombs can do more
damage than one bomb twice the
size. The other is that one bomb is
enough for most military targets now
conceived.
At almost the same time, DR.. Albert
Einstein and the Emergency Commit
tee of Atomic Scientists he heads de-
clared that efforts at international
control of nuclear energy have failed
and that new approach is necessary
to prevent war which could come
by 1855.
The scientists, who issued an "Ap-
peal to Reason" when they organized
in May, 1946, said they hoped a year
ago for a pattern of international
atomic control which could be ap-
piled to other spheres of international
concern.
"These hopes" they said, have
come to nothing. 1t is imperative that
the American people understand this
failure"
Last Hour Before Midnight
The scientists said it was not for
them to suggest what specific meas
ureS should be taken, but stressed the
urgent need of awakening Americans
to the realization of the deadly aNer-
native to peaceful control of atomic
energy
"AS we approach what may be the
last hour before midnight, the chal-
lenge is plain the committee said.
America must be prepared to
mobilize her vast resources on an
adequate scale to help the peoples OF
the world lift the levels of their eco.
nomic life. All peoples would be ex-
pected to make reciprocal sacrifices
to achieve great ends.
But Americans should understand
that there is no easy path to the ac.
compliShment of these great objec.
tiveS, that, in the long run, the crea.

Presidents special board of inquiry,
declared that if the new limitations
had been in effect May 20, the plane
which crashed at LaGuardia Field in

The plane smashed after failing to
get into the air.
The safety boards interim report
dealt largely with the first of three
disasters which took lat lives in little
more than two weeks. The other two
occurred at Port Deposit, Md, and

Basic recommendations of the safety
board which have been accepted by
the Civil Aeronautics. Board include:
Calculated runway lengths should
be shortened 300 feet from actual
lengths to give the pilot more lee
way in his takeoff run in deciding
whether his plane should be brought
to a stop.
Permissible weight should be re-
duced by fixed formula when the
weather is hot, increased when it is
cool, because of varying density of
the atmosphere.
Lighted windsocks should be
placed at the end of each runway to
give pilots last-second direction.
Besides calling for revised takeofi
formulas, the board noted that a re-
design of the gust-lock on the De-
planes is being made. This equipment
normally keeps planes from wind.
gust damage to control surfaces while

to release for takeoffs means the plane

TUNE 80 was an unusually sig
j nificant date this year. On the
first anniversary of the end of
federal price controls, Americans
found prices higher and goods
more plentiful than a year ago
when people lined up for meat and
nylons. 1t was also the first anniver-
sary of the initial Bikini atom bomb
test.
June 80 wound up fiscal year for
the federal government, its first with
a surplus in IL years. 1t also was the
halfway mark in a crucial year with
the nation almost but not quite over
the hump of reconversion. Stock
taking was the order of the week.
Living costs in general have under
gone sharp increases, surprising in
many instances the highs of the
1919-20 postwar period.
Market and retail supplies are more
plentiful than year ago in many
lines, but livestock on farms is lower
and so are cold storage stocks of many
foods. Such commodities as steel, oil
and lumber still lag far behind re-
quirements.
OPA ended year ago when Presi-
dent Truman vetoed as inadequate a
Congressional bill extending the price
fixing agency: OPA subsequently was
revived, but only as ghost of its
former self and was inferred by de-
grees as ceilings, were removed from
one commodity after another. Final
burial came in December when its re-
naming functions were transferred to
other agencies.
Up % Points in Year
The Federal Bureau of Labor Sta
tistics reported that its basic COM
modities index for May was 1853 on
a 1859 base average of 100.
Throughout the war and until a year
ago, the index advanced 1873 points
In the past year it went up 22.5
points.
Specifically, meat in general is 522
per cent higher, beverages sos, fats
and oils 58.6 and sugar 31.6 per cent
higher.
The Associated Press wholesale
price index of 35 basic commodities

The Prohibition Party, which polled
less than is per cent of the vote in

" HOVER, the us. Army chief
of staff, told an economy-minded
Congress that the Army he leads
is a poor second" to Russia's.
The general, who will step
down next year to become president
of Columbia University, testified that
as professional soldier he was con-
vinced that House slashes of $435, ,000,-
600 in military funds would take us
we'll into the danger zone"
While the War Department does not
consider war during the next IL

said, it does not exclude such

Less Pressure for Peace

pressure for peace than it did when
it was the worlds most formidable
fighting force" he said "The inter-
action of world affairs takes place
in the shadow of military power"
Relative to armies of other world
powers, Eisenhower said he ranked
the US. Army second only to that
of the Soviet Union.
However, it is a poor second" he
added.
The American Army, he said, was
far flung and thinly deployed, COM
posed primarily of young, inexpe-
rienced volunteers.
This is summary of his estimate
of US. military strengths
