FUEL:
Shortage Worse

That old bugaboo of the armed
services-aviation fuel shortage-is
cropping up again more hastily than
ever, Col. G. H. Vogel of the army
navy petroleum board has indicated.
He said that it CLOCKS almost i'm
possible" for the armed services to
obtain as much fuel as they need
during the first six months of 1948,
and that training may be %curtailed.
There seems to be little hope of
meeting full military requirements,
Vogel added, and the services may
have to accept gasoline of lower
octane rating than they would like to
use.
Although the army and navy have
contracted for enough fuel to carry
them through the rest of 1947, stocks
are still so low that there r some
restrictions even on certain phases
of flying regarded as essential, he
revealed. Diesel fuel, motor gasoline
and a number of special fuels also
are scarce, Vogel said.

TOUGH AGENDA:
No DOdging

United Nations general assembly
proved at least one thing in the first
week of its current session-it isn't
going to dodge any issues.
After riotous preliminary sessions
in which they heard the U. S. and
Russia fay each other verbally and
U. N. Secretary General Trygve Lie
call for an end to feuding, the dele
gates voted doggedly to take on the
entire list of tough, almost insoluble
problems standing as a barrier to
world accord.
Among the items admitted to the
agenda were the partition of Pales-
tine, peace in the Balkans, independ-
ence of Korea and Marshalrs pro-
posal to reorganize U. N. machinery
to hold a tighter rein on the turbu-
lent peace.
Soviet delegate Andrea Vishinsky's
resolution calling on member ma
tons to take criminal action against
warmongering propagandists was
whole-heartedly admitted to debate,
probably because it will provide a
chance to null over the concept of
freedom of the press.

NAZI GOLD:

The U. S. treasury has no inten-
ton of redistributing its Fort Knox
gold to destitute European coun-
tries, but there is no objection to
passing out the gold stolen by Hit
ler's armies during the war.
And that is precisely what is going
to be done to help tide Europe over

shall plan can take hold.
About 165 million dollars, half of
the total amount looted by the

France and Italy are due for the
largest shares, while other claim

phasized in a state department note
to Yugoslavia that her Exceeding

Yugoslav troops had been forcing
a number of incidents all along

POTATOES:
Government STEM

Remember all those potatoes that
the government had so much trouble
with last spring? Up to its ears in a
surplus of spuds, the department OF
agriculture finally burned, buried or
abandoned them, beset all along the
line by a good deal of wrathful criti-
cism.
Currently, the government still is
buying potatoes under the price
support law and still is wondering
what in the world to do with all of
them.
So far in 1947, II, 46O, 900 bushels
have been purchased at a cost of
Sl2,273, 900. They are being disposed
OF IN these various ways:
Gifts to schools, hospitals and
similar institutions; sold to make
industrial alcohol; sold for export;
sold for dehydration; sold for flour;
sold to make starch.
Losses, including those destroyed
last spring, amounted to CAB 900
bushels. There is a superabundance
of 1,761, 900 bushels still in storage.
Potato support prices average out
to maintain a retail price level of
about 5 cents a pound.

HARD TIME:
Taft's Tour

Way out west, where pickets are
pickets and carry insinuating signs
to prove it, Sen. Robert Taft of labor
law fame was finding the going a
little rugged on his political junket.
But in Seattle, labor stronghold of
the Pacific Northwest, he was treat
ed to new heights of heckling. Physi-
cal pain was the senator's lot, too,
when a jittery chauffeur, unnerved
by milling demonstrators, slammed
a car door on his hand.
The labor element was, in short,
downright inhospitable. M a S S e d
pickets booed Taft enthusiastically
as he entered Seattle's Eagle audi
forum to deliver his address. Inside
the auditorium there we're more
boos, mingled with Republican
cheers.
"Eat less" cried some of his voci-
ferrous critics in the audience.
Undaunted, Taft made his speech:
1--WE r proud of u Republican
record in congress-" he said, to a
motley accompaniment of more
boos and cheers. He characterized
the Taft-Hartley law as a "bill of
rights" for union members, and
called upon voters to render "grati-
tude" to congressional hackers of
the act.
Wilbur Zundell, president of the
Young Mems Republican club of
Seattle, had a word for the senator's
tormentors: Communists" he
said, adding that a Communist dem
o%nstration was expected when Taft
took the rostrum.

accused of being a Communist. He
is the brother of Gerhart Eisler, No.
l agent of the Kremlin in the u. S.
Eisler and his wife finally were
issued visas in Mexico City to cover
their entrance into this country. He
has taken out naturalization papers
and is a song writer in Hollywood.
In 1926, Eisler told the committee,
he had applied for membership in
the German Communist party, but
had dropped out. A department of
labor report made in 1888 said of
him: "The evidence establishes pre-
p~onderantly that Hams Eisler is a
Communist"
Mrs. Roosevelt's attitude toward
the affair was lackadaisical. The
note to Welles on behalf of Eisler
was strictly routine, she said, add
ing that she neither knew Eisler o
remembered the note.

FOOD PLANS:
Conservation

1t wasn't hard for President Tru.
man to figure out: Europe is in des-
perate need of food from the U. S.,
but the U. S. will leave itself wide
open for eve greater price spiral
ling if it boosts its exports much
higher.
The answer, he told a special press
conference, is food conservation by
all Americans. 1t is not a matter of
eating any less, he said, but of
wasting less.
In line with that, he announced
the setting up of a citizens food COM
mittee to develop a food %conserva-
ton program in the nation. Charles
Luckman of Cambridge, Mass, pres
ident of Lever Brothers, was named
president.
Regarding Europe, Mr.. Truman
said the food and fuel situation there
is too critical to allow time for de-
tailed study. Thus, apparently in an
emergency frame of mind, the Presi-
dent called together congressional
leaders to discuss possible steps
that could be taken Immediately to
aid the starving continent.
If possible, he said, he would not
call a special session of congress
if stop-gap aid for Europe could
be pushed through. without resort
ing to that step.
Americans could start preparing
for a heavy barrage of food con-
%servation propaganda.

American Music

America has only one type of
music that it can, without fear of
contradiction, call its very own; and
that, says Bernard Wagenaar,
Dutch-born composer, is the cow
boy song.
aside from cowboy songs, there
is no genuine folk music in this
country" Wagenaar asserts, and
they are "hardly the background for
serious music in the larger forms
which could form an authentic
American style.

A japanese agricultural expert

three times average. Pumpkins,

Then who are these people talk

are simply Americans who know

free. They say that the indeflnable

important as sewerage system.

A city's Future
l HREE years ago, trio of Mil
waukee citizens sat down to lunch
together. The one who ran a de-
partment store began talking
about the future of their city. A
strange time for that converse
ton: Milwaukee and its people
booming, money being made hand
over-fist, everything booming,
everybody prosperous. But the
three men talked about the civic
plans that had been made and dis
cussed and pigeonholed to accu-
mulate cobwebs.
They talked about the kind of
city their uniformed children and
friends would be coming home to.
And they were ashamed: they
knew America. Other cities were
ahead of them. They realized that
they had to create a reason to keep
their young people home and at
tract new citizens.
Out of that talk came the
Greater Milwaukee Committee.
Citizens who knew they had a
stake in the city asked to join. Its
link to other civic enterprises was
the city centenary in 1916; the
states in 1913. They wanted the
