0ne-Armed Austrian
Thrills Wimbledon
By the Asseeiated Prs,s

WIMBLEDON, June 27.-The big
gest surprise at the Wimbledon
championships is a one~armed
Austrian, Hans Redl, who pur-
sues tennis fame today with his
doubles partner, Jacques Sanglier
of France.
They are scheduled to meet J.
Brichant and Philippe Washer of
Belgium in a second-round tussle,
with Redls unorthdox service the
big attraction.
An unknown who never played
at Wimbledon before the war when
he had two arms, Redl made VIM
bledon sit up and take notice. At
first he was regarded as novelty.
But yesterday, when he swept
into the last 16 in the mems singles,
it became apparent he is a great
tennis player, gallantly overcoming
a wartime wound that might keep
lesser men on the sidelines.
Starting the fifth day OF the
championships, Redl survives in two
of the three events to which he was
invited by Wimbledon to enter
when the Austrian Lawn Tennis
Association again was approved.
He has been beaten only in the
mixed doubles.
Geoff Brown, fifth-seeded Aus
tralian, today became the first man
to reach the quarter-flnals when he
defeated Pierre Pellizza of France,
6-3, 60, Is, 6-3.

must be greater emphasis. We must play
up what we are doing now and what we
have done to relieve hunger and hardship
in Europe.
We must make it even palmer that the
refusal of Russia and her satellites to par
ticipate in the European recovery program
was Moscow's idea, not ours. We must
dispel the idea that we are seeking to
dominate Europe, or to stuff the capitalis-
tic system down unwilling throats, or to
make war.
National modesty is no longer a virtue.
The people of Europe must be shown the
contrast between cur generous but largely
unpublicized aid and the niggardly Rus
sian contributions which have been bally-
hooed out of all proportion. It may go
against the grain of Americans, individual
ly and collectively, to blow our own horn.
But that type of information service seems
indicated under present circumstances.

nockets is above par and setting a good
table is a prime consideration of house
keepers. They say we are eating better
food and more of it than before the war.
However, they add there is one exception.
The national grocers association, which re-
Gently met in New York, heard reports that
the American housewife is beginning to try
to stretch the food dollar, with result that
sales of high priced products, such as
bakery products, preserves and meats, are
slipping. Lower priced substitutes -
spaghetti and cheese, for example-are in
growing demand, and left-overs are being
more carefully preserved for later meals.
This is something that needs encourage
ment. Increased production and over
stocked shelves will tend to lower the food
price scale, but surer way is in sales
resistance.

Food Prices Going Up

Agricultural Department Secretary An
derson proposes to increase grain cultiva-
ton in 1948 by nine million more acres
than this year and reduce meat production
from 1856 pounds per person in 1917 to 143
pounds next year. Mr.. Anderson believes
this is the best way to meet the REQUIRE
ments of hungry nations abroad as pro-
vided for in the Marshall plan.
AS this program is only now announced
it cannot materially affect forecasts that
the price of meats, dairy products and
grain foods will go even higher next wear
than they have been in 1947. But it is in
teresting and may be significant that this
prophecy is made by Mr.. Anderson's own
economists in the Agricultural Depart
ment. They do not take into account the
possibility of government controls and per-
haps it is as well they do not, considering
the f,1rore President Trumans proposal for
them in his message to Congress has
stirred up.
They justify their forecast on the ground

Preparedness A National
Duty

Twice in our history we have been at
tackled on our own soil by foreign Toe.
Twice we have been victorious. Without
adequate army, arms, munitions, supplies
or training we have humbled a mighty
foe.
But times have changed since the Revo-
luton and the War Of 1872. There is no
assurance we could repeat in event OF an
other foreign attack. Warfare is no longer
the primitive affair of those conflicts.
In the present unsettled state of inter-
national relations it behooves us, therefore,
to prepare for any emergency. For if an
other war is started the United States in
evitably would be the first objective to be
assaulted. With our huge natural and in
dustrial resources and wealth, the power
that could conquer our land would soon be
able to rule the world, and we Americans
would be the first reduced to serfdom The
liberty for which our fore fathers fought
would be succeeded by actual slavery.
We have no thought Of rafting the sabre,
but the fact is self-evident that by demo-
bilizing our military forces so rapidly after
VJ-Day we lost our potency as leading
world power and laid ourselves open to
attack The militancy which the Soviet I'm
ion has practiced since the last fighting
war ended probably would not have de-
veloped if we had kept our Army, our
Navy, our Air Forces which then were
the most powerful in the World-not nee
essarily at their highest level when Japan
surrendered, but at least up to a standard
that would be a perpetual warning to any
nation with conquestitorial ambitions.
We might even believe that the Russians
would have been reluctant to use the veto
would we see them spreading discord
throughout the world so aggressively il
they had known a great military force was
on the job ready if necessary to enforce
peace.
| No one may accurately forecast how this
Foreign Ministers Conference in Londor
will turn out, but there is little reason tC
think that it will pave the way to peace
The Russian foreign commissar has al
ways succeeded in the past in blocking any
peace agreement, however preliminary
There is no reason to suppose that he viii
be less successful now. The United Ma
tons, in it's chief undertakings since the
San Francisco conference which brought il
into existence, has proved unequal to it:
task fact that makes any thoughtful
person envisioning the world future trem
BILE.
However greatly we desire to live al
peace with all peoples, it is obviously oul
duty to see that we are ready to NEE
any eventuality ahead with adequate mill
tary strength
Today, as much as when it was frs
uttered, it is true that eternal vigilance is
the price of peace, but to vigilance must
be added preparation, not necessarily fol
war itself but to prevent war.

Time To Blow Horn

Several congressman who opposed t h e
State Departments Office of Information
and Educational Exchange, and who voted
to cut it's budget by more than half last
summer, have now changed their minds.
These are men who recently toured Eu-
rope, and who returned with the demand
for some sort of propaganda agency to off
set the stream of anti-American lies and
vituperation that the Russian propagan-
dists are pouring into Europe.
This does not necessarily mean that the
legislators were shortsighted or dead
wrong in their earlier opposition. Condi-
some of the strategy of former Assistant
Secretary of State Benton and some of the
tactics of his assistants were open to criti-
ciSm
There was nothing wrong with Mr. Ben
toms basic idea. 1t was his laudable in
tention to fight distortions with dispassion-
ate truth, and to sell American democracy
to the semi-slaves in Europe by such
means as the Voice of America broadcasts,
publications, libraries and travelling art
Exhibits.
But that was last spring. At that time
Mr.. Benton's principal target seemed to
be Russia. But the Russian people, who
most needed to hear the truth about Amer
ican life and policies, were and are al
most hopelessly insulated from the truth
The Russian people who are 35 and un-
der have been fed from the cradle on the
anti-capitalistic dogma of Marx and Lenin
The older ones have had steady diet OF
such propaganda for 80 years. Few Rus
slams have radios on which to hear the
American side of the story. And it is con-
ceivable that even those who listen to II
may simply put it down as false propa
ganda.
Furthermore, the picture has changec
since Congress last considered this State
Department information bureau. The Sow
ct government has tightened its grip or
the Balkans There is now Marshall Plar
to be explained and defended, not behlne
the iron curtain but in the countries await
ing American aid. Communist propaganda
has now been stepped up to high pltch
National pride is being appealed to: I'M
threat of American imperialism and los
of sovereignty is dinned into western Eu
rope ears and minds day after day.
What is needed now, it seems to U.s.
more forceful presentation of the Amer
lean story. There must be the same scru
pulous regard for truth as nows out m .nef

will probably be necessary to
keep the first two under alloca-
ton control for some time.
World output of tin this year
will probably be only half of pre-
war production. ALLEGATION con-
trolls are considered necessary
to make sure that Gamers get
enough tinplate to pack perish
able foods. Europe alone would
take so per cent of U. S. tinplate
production if controls on y. S.
production were not in effect.
There is only one antimony
mine in the U. S. and its pro-
duction is limited. China used to
be the big. supplier, but
its mines are not back in full
operation. Mexico and Bolivia
are now the principal suppliers.
Antimony is used as an alloy in
making storage battery plates,
bearings and type metal. These
essential industries must be sup
piled.
Cinchona bark and it's
products are used in treatment
of malaria and heart disorders.
Principal prewar supplier was
1ndonesia. The revolution dis
rupted the supply, and controls
are necessary until imports are
back to normal.
Control over imports of scarce
commodities may, at first, look
silly, but it makes sense. 1t is a
protection for domestic consum-
ers as well as a necessity for
taking care of foreign require
ments. Three groups of items
are now under import controls.
They are fats and oils, rice and
rice products, nitrogen fertiliz-
ers.
If import controls on fats and
oils and rice were removed, the
flow of available supplies into
the U. S. would be so heavy that
foreign countries which need
fats, oils and rice for
food might suffer.
The same is true of nitrogen
fertilizers. The U. S. has always
imported nitrogen. If U. S. i'm
port controls were lifted. Euro
pean countries might be depriv-
ed of part Of their supply. Every
ton of fertilizer allocated to Eu-
rope means 10 to Is less tons of
food for the u S. to supply. The
U. S. Army, in fact, has been
exporting U. S. fertilizers to
Germany and Japan to cut down
food exports.
The governments power to
control exports and to control
imports and ALLEGATIONS on the
aforementioned commodities is
due to expire with the Second
Decontrol Act on Feb. 20, 1948.
That's why the president wants
these powers extended, and en-
larged to meet new crises as
they arise.

of the two zones are to be multi
piled more than seven times in
five years. On the other hand,
imports, which are now running
at is billions a year, are to rise
only to 2.3 billions, or only about
half. Maybe this can be done.
But it is certainly big order
to expect this region, which is
deficient in food and raw ma
terials, to receive only a small
increase of imports while it pro-
duces gigantic increase of ex-
ports
And when we ask where these
exports are to 60, we have to
fall back on a highly theoretical
estimate of what these zones ex-
ported and imported before the
warm the year 1886. The esti-
mate is highly theoretical be-
cause the statistics for 1886,
which officially we regard as a
normal year, cover the whole of
what was then the German
Reich. 1t takes some tall guess
ing to figure out the share of

Christmas Seals

With but little more than month until
Christmas it is fitting that public attention
be directed to the annual Christmas Seal
campaign which for more than a quarter
century has contributed materially to the
reduction of active tuberculosis throughout
the country.
Here, in Wilmington the Junior Cham
Der of Commerce has already started its
drive for sale of tuberculosis bonds, an eff
fort this energetic organization has made
for several years with outstanding success.
Shortly the New Hanover County Health
and tuberculosis Association will start its
mail campaign for sale of seals.
Through these two campaigns it is hoped
that necessary funds for the Associations
activities during the coming year will be
forthcoming The goal is only $4,000
Surely, when it is remembered that tu-
berculosis makes no distinction between rich
and poor, but fastens upon persons of all
ranks indiscriminately, the people of Will
mington will not hesitate to contribute to
a project which promises to close their
own doors to a killer
1t is hoped to make X-ray pictures of
everybody's chest in New Hanover county.
Only by this means will it be possible to
discover victims of this dread disease
which in the formative period is not even
suspected. Only by this means will it be
possible to save perhaps hundreds of lives.

berculosis victims to arrest the disease

Truman And Controls
BY PETER EDSON

WASHINGTON, - Blu 8 mess
leaders are already lining up in
opposition to one of the more
controversial items in President
Truman's 10-point anti initiation
program. This is his request to
Congress for more authority to
control inventories and make al
locations of scarce commodities,
which basically affect the U. S.
cost of living or industrial pro-
duction. Opposition to this re-
quest is based on a belief that
it means a return to black and
gray markets, and still higher
prices.
Practically all wartime con-
trolls over priorities, ALLEGATIONS
and imports are gone. What few
controls remain are now under
the Department of Commerce.
In a practically unnoticed report,
which Secretary Averell Harri-
man has just made covering
third : quarter operations under
the Second Decontrol Act of
1947, the score on these <rera-
tons is given in great detail.
It is one of the most Informative
and one of the clearest govern
ment reports ever issued.
1t will take some brand-new
legislation to bring back inven-
tory control. During the war,
practically all scarce materials
were under inventory control,
but particular emphasis was put
on steel, copper, zinc, lead,
aluminium and rubber. Of these,
steel is the one item over which
government economists seem
most concerned today.
Congress may therefore be
asked for authority to exercise
controls over specific products.
Or, it may be asked for au-
thority to exercise control over
any material in scarce supply,
but only after public hearings
have been held to establish the
need for making fair distribu-
gton of available supplies to es-
sential users.
In asking for additional con-
troll authority over inventories
and ALLEGATIONS, the Department
of Commerce has no idea of try
ing to police the three million
business establishments in the
United States.
There is an additional reason
for wanting to keep inventories
down now. Buying for inventory
keeps supplies off the market
and SO tends to make scarcities
worse and keep prices alb
normally high.
At the present time, ALLEGATION
controls are limited by law to
three groups of commodities -
tin and tin products, antimony
and cinchona bark and it's qui-
mine and quimdine products. It
