Warm Weather Endangers Task Force Frigid


 Task Force Frigid Headquarters, Alaska (P)-Wary aerial watch is being kept daily on the army's ice bridge across the frozen Panama river as warmed weather threatens the only vehicular link with task force frigid's bivouac area.
 Temperatures have moderated greatly from the winter lows of 60-70 below zero and recently have ranged from 8 to 35 degrees above.
 The ice bridge, built by spraying water during the bitter cold on layers of trees and logs, is the only arterial connection between the task force base camp at Ladd Field, Fairbanks, and the area where artillery is being tested and small mobile columns have begun Cross-country operations.
 To insure safe crossings observa- ton flights are being made daily over the bridge by It. Isidro S.

RECOGNITION:
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 &C.
ton meant neither that this country
approved nor condoned certain re-
cent actions of the Bulgarian gov
eminent"
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.

SECURIT RISKS:
No Peace of Mind

Communism, particularly since
the revival of the Comintern in nine
European countries, is taking its
toll in the U. S. by undermining the
American peace of mind.
That obvious fact has been given
added significance by the state de.
partment's disclosure that sum.
mary dismissal faces state depart
ment employees who are ''habitual or
close" associates Of persons even
believed to be" Communists.
In plain language, that is a re.
versal Of a fundamental principle Of
Anglo-American law-that a man is
judged innocent until he is proved
guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.
In fact, the state department, in a
security principles" document re.
Gently made public. says specif.
cally that if there is a Reasonable
doubt" about a workers loyalty the
department will be given the bene-
fit of the doubt and the person will
be deemed a security risk"
While idealists could bubble at
length about abridgment Of "con-
stitutional rights" few would deny
that the state department simply
was playing it safe in the face Of a
manifest danger.

SOIL
DepLetion?

Hard cash isn't the only cost in
volved for American taxpayers in
the governments program to export
q half billion bushels of wheat and
feed grains annually to Europe.
The invisible price which this ma
ton is paying is the possible deple-
ton of the soil on which
future food supply depends.
During the war years, only about
half Of the nitrogen taken from the
soil was replaced, according to re-
cent studies. Only about half of the
phosphorus removed was put back,
and less than one-thirtieth as much
potassium was added in the form Of
commercial fertilizers as vas re.
moved by harvested crops.
Those facts denote a trend which
ultimately might lead directly to
untold acres Of sterile soil incapable
of producing the food in the amounts
necessary for maintenance Of the
American standard of living.
Already. the heavy drain on the
mineral supply in the earth has
reached the point where yields on
many soils depend on the fact that
minerals r being replaced con-
stantly.

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.

the coal fields. However. a railroad
spokesman said the diversion Of
such cars would do nothing but off.

IMPOSSIBLE
Depression

Considered opinion Of Alfred p.
Sloan Jr.. chairman Of General Mo.
tors. is that it is not possible for an
other serious depression to develop
within the next two years.
Basing his prediction on the
heavy goods industry in general and
the automobile industry in particu.
lar, he said. I'VE could sell all we
could possibly produce for the next
two years. and other producers are
in the same shape"
All the U. S. has to worry about,
he opined, is "a minor recession.
perhaps. involving certain adjust
ments in prices and production
where they are out Of line"
Infation-harried cynics might add
that if a recession occurs in the
same proportion to which prices
and production now are out Of line.
it will be, not a minor one, but q
humdinger.
Pointing out that industries are
not hesitating in making invest
ments to rehabilitate plants and in
crease capacity, Sloan said, You
can't have an industrial depression
when the capital goods industries
r busy"
Which. taken all in all, is a heart
ening reinsurance at this time.

oftener than that.

SIX MONTHS
HowLongNoM Meat?

Amid a certain amount of
weeping and wailing and less
gnashing of teeth than usual,
President Truman's program
involving meatless Tuesdays
and eggless Thursdays lum-
bered tentatively through its
first week.
Even the most ardent optimist
could not call this phase Of the food
conservation drive to help Europe
al instantaneous success; however,
it might improve with time.
And it was in the handwriting OF
the wall that there would be con-
siderable time, for administration
experts predicted that the days OF
voluntary self-denial would last for
at least six months.
President Truman himself has set
the dates for the interim emergency
aid to Europe campaign-from De-
cember l to March 31-although
that time limit was imposed spe-
officially for the raising of $50 mil
lion dollars in cash. Regarding the
food conservation aspect, Charles
Luckman, head of the citizens food
committee. said Our only idea is
to do the job until it is done. No
time schedule has been Set"
Secretary Of Agriculture Clinton
Anderson was a little more definite.
He pointed out that conservation to
save grain might be necessary until
the winter wheat crop, now being
planted. begins to come in next
June and July. Then he offered a
faint hope with a hollow ring:
"Meatless days are not in the pic
ture indefinitely" he said.
