FARM MACHINERY:
Prices Trimmed

Although demand is expected to
exceed supply "for months to
come" International Harvester
company has reduced prices on 1853
items of farm equipment. More
than half the company's customers
will benefit, spokesman said. Re-
auctions range from to 1873 per
cent, or in dollars from $3.50 to $500.
Lower prices have been announced
for 1913 farm machines, 16 models of
industrial tractors, IL models of
motor trucks and IL other miscel-
laneous articles. The program will
cost the company about 20 mil
lion dollars this year, it was stated.
New prices became effective March
10.
Typical of reductions are new
prices of the Farmall-H tractor,
down SIPS, or 1915 per cent; the au-
tomato pickup hay baler, down SIS,
or Al per cent, and the sef-pro-
PEELED combine, now $122.50, or 3.4
per cent lower.
Trucks were trimmed $50 to $500
In price, depending on size. Esti-
mated overall reduction on indus
trial products amounted to about
3.5 per cent, officials stated.

BRITAIN:
Floods Ne,v Peril

Melting of the thick blanket of
snow that brought great hardship to
Britain has swollen streams to flood
stage. Many thousands of people in
southern England are being forced
out of their homes by rising waters.
Some rivers already have passed
the record high marks of 1894.
Community kitchens are being set
up to feed refugees. Troops, Ger
man war prisoners and volunteers
are struggling to save water puri-
flying stations, gas and electric
plants, and other essential services.
Others are sandbagging bikes and
river walls.
1T is our worst disaster in 300
years." declares Miss Phoebe Gus
ten, mayor of the Thames river town
of Caversham.
Snow still is hampering transpor-
tation in five counties of northern
England. These regions will have
to cope with floods later.
Agricultural losses are already
immense, and prospects are for
even more staggering damage.
Tens of thousands of sheep and cat
tie are drowning in the Midlands
regions. It is estimated that three
million farm animals died over the
winter, killed by snow and cold.
Most of the spring wheat crop is
ruined. The potato crop in the fen
lands is considered destroyed.
Planting of early crops is far behind
schedule. In country that has been
on short rations for seven years,

DRAFT EVADERS:
FBI Hunts 0,l78

Ending of selective service has
forced a change in the department
of Justices handling of draft evad-
ers. Heretofore the departments
policy was to turn such men over to
the army for induction. Since the
armed forces no longer want them,
they will have to face conviction
and sentence in federal courts, says
]. Edgar Hoover, director of the de-
partment's Federal Bureau of In
vestigation.
FBI agents everywhere have been
furnished with descriptions of 9,179
men who are wanted for draft eva
sion. Many of these failed to regis
ter, or employed one of the many
lodges with which the FBI is ia

U. S. FARM REPORT:
Fiue-Year Rise

Value of farms in the United
States increased by one-third, on
the average, and value of produce
doubled between 1910 and 1945, the
census bureau reports. Number Of
farms declined, and size of farms
increased during the five-year pc
Rod, as was generally known.
Total worth of the nations farms
rose steadily to $46, 1886, 1925 ,560 in the
five years covered. Present values
are considerably higher. The aver
age farm in l945 was 194.8 acres,
compared with ia acres five years
earlier.
Market value of produce in
creased from $7,813, 644, 900 to S19,-
1903, 1872, 1000. Number of people on
farms decreased sharply but the
bureau says it has no figure for 1910
exactly comparable to the 1945
total, when there were 1855, 488
listed as farm dwellers. Tenant
farmers dropped from 1851, 271 to
1858, 421 in the five year term.
Other changes, as summarized in
the report, were these:
Farmers are using more ma
chinery. More farms are operated
by farmers and fewer by tenants.
Fewer farmers engage in off-farm
work."

talked in his sleep. That was bad
enough, but couldn't understand
what he said. So I asked him. He
said:

Korea. I was born there. When

The agreement was that the two
nations would set up a unified pro-
visional government and lure the
Koreans back into democratic life.
Then things began to eventuate.
Roosevelt died and he couldn't tell
Stain that democracy" meant one
thing to Americans and something
quite different to MARKHAM schooled
Russians. Oh, quite different.
But regardless of academic def
nitions, this has happened, accord
ing to General Hodges own state
ments: The Russians have drafted
Koreans in their zone into an army.
They have set up Communist
regime in their sector.
We haven't done so well with our
brand of democracy in our sector.
Not because of lack of good inten-
tons nor of the efforts of General
Hodge ESQ his enemies admit) but
due to lot of things including the
spectre of the past which has har-
assed the Koreans. They like Amer
lea. But all they have got from us in
the past is vague promises. Other
nations beginning with Japan took
them and tore them. They have
faced a historical array of broken
promises from the great nations.
Koreans thought they were prom
ised independence sin a few days"
after American occupation. That
misunderstanding was due to the
fact that the Moscow agreement
was translated by a Korean who
was possessed of more native opti-
mism than knowledge of the Eng
fish language. From then on, the
Americans attempting to abide by
their understanding of the Moscow
decisions have tried in vain to get
an agreement out of the Russians
which would be the basis of uni
fed Korea behind unified provi-
sional Korean government.
Today Korea has become one of
those explosive areas where two
ideologies meet; where the two
great empires left in the world (the
U. S. and the U.S.S.R.) face each
other for better or for worse. Mel
Their thinks it should retire and
allow Korea to erect a government
which would take its pattern from
the other.
What's going to happen now? We
are going to get a little tougher with
the Russians, and if we can be re-
leased from that ambiguous agree
ment will let the Koreans in our
zone set up their own provisional
government. They already have a
parliament of their own, but Gen
eral Hodge has a veto and he will
keep it until we see some kind of a
coalition, free from Communist
pressure-or any other kind of pres
sure, of which there are a lot.

ATOMIC ORE:

UNI ores, the raw materials for atom

sion has issued new and very strict
code. Death is the penalty for ma
jor violations of the rigid regula-

the radioactive ores.
The code sets up a licensing sys-
tenn specifying that no one, unless
licensed by the commission, can
transfer or export from the United
States" any material that contains
as much as 1-20th of one per cent
of uranium or thorium.
After April l, anyone not licensed
who obtains 10 pounds or more of
raw uranium or thorium must report
it to the commission within 80 days.
Use of uranium in ceramics, photo
graphic supplies and other industrial
products is practically forbidden,
since no further supply of the metal
will be allowed after April /.

PARAGUAY:
Civil Var

So serious is the rebellion in Para
quay that President Morinigo has IS
sued a war decree to mobilize the
full powers of the government. Reb-
els now are holding large sections
of the little South American coun-
try. Government officials state that
the revolt is Communist-inspired.
They further charge that Commu-
nists in neighboring Uruguay and
Bolivia are giving every assistance
to the rebels.
The war act gives the government
power to draft men, property and
money, and to suspend any laws.
The preamble declares that it was
issued in accordance with enter
national agreement signed by this
country for defense of the continent
against subversive movements of a
totalitarian character"
According to news from Brazil,
the insurgents have won control of all
the Paraguayan side of the Para
guayan-Brazil border by capturing
the towns of Bella Vista, Pedro Juan
Caballero and Captain Bado.
Paraguayan government reports
say that some of the rebel forces
have deserted and surrendered to
government troops. There were 9TH
er stories, denied by the govern
ment, that some infantry, artillery
and naval units had refused Or

were being paid compared to dog
catchers and garbage collectors
and bartenders (not as much). I
mentioned it on the radio. Most
people complimented my stand for
higher remuneration for education.
(Of course we couldn't expect to
pay as much as we pay for liquor
to redden our noses or the women
pay for cosmetics to redden their
lips).
But what shocked my New Eng
land soul was some of the letters on
the "other side":
From a teacher of "long and
varied experience:
"The most important teachers in
the world are the mothers and
fathers, who are now earning wages
less than the teachers in a great
many cases. Lack Of adequate pay
for them IS the greatest cause Of
education failure-and failure 1t is
because it does not aid properly
those who need it worst"
From a California teacher who is
"almost in despair over the situa-
ton:
''The school cannot substitute for
the home; it can only supplement
it. You can't teach children who
have had no home training; you
can't even teach those who have if
your whole time and strength are
consumed by those who haven't.
Most parents will pay whatever
they have to pay for parking sta
ton for their children and will ask
no further questions. More and
more of the parking attendants are
unwilling to deal with such children
at any price"
From a Pennsylvania mother:
IF monetary remuneration were
the only consideration for our serv-
ices in this life-would there be
nurses, doctors, welfare workers
and ministers? Yet they abound in
love and kindness and tolerance"
From Virginia man:
''There is an adage to the effect,
you get just about what you pay
for The point is, when the school
teacher does his job as well as the
street cleaner or garbage collector,
he will be paid accordingly; but as
long as the educators are content
to have the street cleaners do their
job better, the educators should not
complain that the street cleaner is
better paid"
