GONE of the Hollywood luminaries, stars

hundreds of art classes have been formed

process of formation.

the progress that some of the art students

One thing the pictures illustrate is that
the stars are more modest than their press
agents. At any rate few of their versions of
themselves could be called fattering. Space
did not permit the reproduction of more
than few of the self-portraits received,
but nearly all were either literal, photo
graphic representations, or outright carl
catures To be sure, the question re-
mains whether the caricatures are
deliberate or merely the result of
artistic limitations.

As diversion, the stars all agree, paint

quite few lesser talents. And all par

Farm production, at today's high
level, takes only two-thirds as
much human labor as would have
been required in 1920 for an equal
volume Of production.
Reporting on advances in farm
technology, the department of agri-
culture has estimated that with 1920
methods. tools. crop varieties and
livestock practices, farmers would
have to put in about 80 billion hours
of work for this years farm pro-
duction. But because of the tech
biological advances during the past
q years, the job will take only
about 81 billion hours in 1947.
Actually, farmers now are pro-
ducing about a third more and are
doing it in about 10 per cent less
time than during World War I.
Work, moreover. is more evenly dis
tributed through the year. More
machines, higher yields per acre Of
land and per head of livestock and
better farming practices are prin-
cipally responsible for the gain.
Differences exist among the vari-
GUS farming areas Of the nation.

MAD ON:
Miners Out

LET the senator's mine COAL" was
the cry of many Of the 10000 soft
coal miners in 10 states as they
staged a general exodus from the
pits just "a hours after the Taft
Hartley labor act went into effect.
Acting to avert possible national
calamity, the justice department
Immediately launched an investiga-
ton to determine whether an injunc-
ton can be brought against John

ers union.
The Taft-Hartley act contains a
provision authorizing the govern
ment to seek an Injunction to halt
national emergency strike, but the
President would be required to name
board of inquiry to report to him
first. That would take days, perhaps
weeks. Justice department attor-
neys were attempting to determine
whether an injunction could be
brought without using the new law.
However, it was not Immediately
clear whether the miners had
walked out of their own volition or
had done so upon the instigation of

PARADOX:
Food From Greece

A ridiculous paradox wherein the
people Of Greece, to whom the Unit
ed States is sending money, food
and military aid, are shipping pack
ages Of food to this country has been
revealed by customs officials.
Following a disclosure that from
100000 to 10000 pounds of meat
have reached the United States in
small parcels in recent months,
Harry M. Burning, collector Of
customs for the port Of New York,
acted to ban so-called gratitude"
shipments of meat to individuals in
this country from friends and rela-
tives in Greece.
Government authorities in Wash
ington have attributed the mysteri-
Gus food movement to a Commu-
nist-inspired hoax which has spread
the belief in Greece that the United
States is suffering from a food
shortage.
Dimetrios Papatsonis, Greek di-
rector of customs in Athens, adj
vanced the contradictory that the
packages were tokens of gratitude"
for parcels received from the Unit
ed States. He said the meat might
be salami and pastourmas, consid-
cred delicacy and sent for that
reason.

STILL ALIVE:
ReUiUe Tax Cut

Chances for an income tax slash,
which appeared to have gone glim-
mering when President Truman
vetoed the Republican sponsored
bill calling for a four billion-do1lar
cut, rose again as the Republicans
suddenly began a concerted move
to repass the measure.
Representative Knutson (Rep.,
MIMI, chairman of the house ways
and means committee, re-intro-
duced the bill, and Speaker of the
House Joseph Martin (Rep., Mass.)
said 1t would be taken up by the
house ''at the first favorable oppor-
tunity."
The regenerated bill, revised only
to make the tax cuts effective Jan
uary l, 1913, instead of July l, 1947,
is believed to have a better chance
OF survival this time because of the
changed effective date.
Tt was reported, too, that some
Democrats who voted to sustain
Mr.. Truman's veto of the original
bill have changed their minds and
would support the revived measure.
Senator George Dem., Ga.) added
his support with the statement that
he would back the new bill if it
comes up with much more conf
dence than the previous BILL

Deadlocking the situation is the
now commonplace fact that Russia
and the western powers remain di-

issues with regard to an atomic
treaty.
Andrei Gromyko, Soviet deputy

sion that Russia never would agree
to any atomic control plan in which
the large powers had no authority
to veto the punishment of violators.
The United States, on the other
hand, is insisting that the veto must
not be used to assist countries or
individuals in escaping punishment
for atomic crimes.

FLOODED I OUT:
No Bumper Crop

Experts who recently predicted a
three billion bushel corn crop this
year were hastily revising their es-
Inmates in the light of continuing
torrential rains and widespread
foods which have transformed
much of the Midwest into a soggy
mass Of mud.
Damage has been particularly
heavy in Iowa, extending from one
end of the state to the other. Flood
ing of river bottom lands is only
part Of the loss.
Thousands of acres Of crops have
been washed out, and the loss is
considered irreparable. It is too late
to replant with anything except for
age crops and possibly buckwheat
If seed is available.
On upland farms, ponds and lakes
overlooking their boundaries also
will cut seriously into corn yields.
All in all, a bumper corn crop is
considered extremely unlikely. even
with a favorable growing season up
to October.

believe that the governments grain
export program should be re-exana-

High Farm Production Requires Less Work

livestock yields and labor require
ments; but greater mechanization
and increased yields is the trend in
all areas.
Most farms throughout the nation
have two peak labor seasons-spring
and early summer, when the land
is prepared and planted, and fall,
when harvesting takes place. Since
1920, the amount of labor needed in
the spring has been reduced great
ly, and the trend is toward a shift
to bigger fall harvest labor load.
