Late in the war, when it was diff
cult to go far from Washington, an
other summer White House" in
Maryland was established. It was
given the name "Shangri-la." The
President himself named it jokingly
when, because of security reasons
during the war, its location had to
be concealed. It was discovered,
thanks to a slip of the tongue on the
part of Mrs. Roosevelt, and because
absurd stories were written about
the tremendous amount of money
which had been expended on it-as
matter of fact it cost very little to
convert-it was thrown open to the
press.

Usher, was such a place,
The next year Coolidge repaired
to the Black Hills of South Dakota
where he lived in a spacious lodge
among the trout streams, guarded
by troop Of cavalry and making a
long, twice-weekly journey to Rapid
City to attend to affairs of state and
interview the press.
The next year he again went to
Wisconsin and on an island in lake
% miles southeast of Superior, lived
in Cedar Lodge, making necessary
a 56-mile trip three times week.
President Hoover, when he took
office, almost Immediately went
down into his own well-lined jeans
and for $4,000 bought "Rapidan,"
another mountain stronghold in the
Blue Ridges. When he left Office he
promptly decided the tract to the
commonwealth of Virginia, hoping
perhaps, other presidential camp
fires would burn there. But his sue
cessor chose otherwise.

dollar pool" I have seen the pool.
It is less than 20 feet across. Polly
wogs wiggle in it, rocks green with
years Of moss, surround it. It has
been there a long time and I doubt
if anyone ever had the temerity to
bathe in it, although 'Shangri-la"
was deserted boys camp when it
was taken over. 1t sits high on a
mountain top beside a splashing
trout stream surrounded by thick
woods.
Today there is one overstuffed
chair in the corner of the solarium
that somehow always seems to get
turned around at a certain angle.
Turned that way, side table is
within easy reach, a push button
and a hand telephone with an ex-
tension number on it. Lift it and the
answer comes, white House." It
connects directly with the switch
board at 1900 Pennsylvania avenue.
1t gives me a rather strange
feeling to look at that chair
empty-and realize what mes
sages went over the telephone
beside it, what words were die
tated while the long cigarette
holder moved nervously to the
ash tray on the table at its arm.
President Truman has not used
''Shangri-la" very often but when
he goes there next he and Mrs.
Truman will find a retreat which
gives them more privacy than prob
ably any other spot on earth.
Tucked away in the deep woods is
a new, little cabin, just big enough
for two. No guest room, no parlor,
just a cozy cottage with a neat,

serves.

Under the stimulus of the two
dollar wheat, buffalo grass is being
turned over at an unprecedented
rate, and the prediction is that
when it quits raining the dust bowl
will stage a savage comeback.
The West again has become
paradise for spectators who are
buying up land for SIS to $25 an
acre and planting it in wheat. One
good crop will pay for the land and
leave them a good profit besides.
Suitable primarily for grazing, the
land normally is priced at from 81
to $40 an acre.
Suitcase farmers" roll in with
their tractors, plows and drills, put
in a wheat crop and then leave until
it is time to harvest the grain. No
one stays to check the inevitable
wind erosion.
The current world food shortage
offers some justification for expand
ing the wheat crop, but it would be
difficult to maintain that rational
outlook if resulting dust storms
caused a recurrence of the mass
ruin and exodus from the dust bowl
of the 1930s.

Ever since the days of Buchanan
almost every President has seen fit
to flee the banks of the Potomac
when Washington weather begins to
lure the mercury to the top of the
tube.
Although the United States army
began being hot weather host to
chief executives in Buchanan's time
and continued to do so into the
regime of the dashing Arthur, it
was because Lincoln lived at the
cottage" just within the Eagle
Gate of the Soldiers Home (now
well within the city of Washington
proper but once a distant suburb)
that this summer White House be-
came famous as the Lincoln Cot
tage.
When Grover Cleveland became
president, however, and shortly
thereafter took a bride, he felt that
it was improper to live on the army
in the summer months So he
bought a place of his own called
Red Oak on a high hill in the capt.
tai now known, in honor of his short
domicile there, as Cleveland Park.
It was a plain farm house when he
bought it but it soon blossomed into
a comfortable home.
Then Washington was a town
of some 175,000 people (1886) and
Cleveland had an unobstructed
view over the whole panorama
down to the Potomac itself.
When he was defeated he sold the
place. When reelected he bought an
other.
That effectually ended the SOL
diers' Home tradition and it was
really not until the time of Presi-
dent Taft that working" summer
headquarters was set up. Other
presidents took vacations - Theo-
dore Roosevelt "went home" to his
beloved Sycamore Hill on Oyster
Bay with a secretary or two. Presi-
dent Taft went to Beverly. Mass.
When President Wilson went
to Cornish, N. H., it was for rest
and recuperatiOn. In 1916 he
chose the imposing Shadow
Lawn in New Jersey and by
that time war was impending
and his staff went with him.
President III d ing didn't
want to "get away" He wanted
people, lots of them, around
him-alsO 81 cards.
President Coolidge, too, it was
said, didn't know what to do with a
vacation but he made as geographi-
cally varied selection of summer
White House sites as any president

which went on the rocks this time,
deepening the rift between Russia
and the western powers.
Conflict arose over two main is
sues:
1. Soviet Foreign Minister v.
M. MOlOtOv opposed any plan
by which the great powers
could impose an economic pro-
gram on the smaller nations of
Europe, while British Foreign
Secretary Ernest Bevin, backed
by French Foreign Minister
Georges Bidault, wanted to
draft a broad scheme for re-
construction of all Europe.
2. MolOtov placed his entire
emphasis on the American aid
aspect of the Marshall plan, but
Britain and France primarily
stressed q self-help program for
Europe.
j Result is that Great Britain and
France probably will 60 ahead with
out Russia on western European

of self-help, at the same time hop
ing for American credits and sup
plies.

FAVORABLE FORECAST
Downward Price Trend Seen

The bank warned, however, that
a combination of contingencies such
as bad weather and substantial
deterioration of domestic crop pros
poets could upset its forecast.
After examining the factors in
volved in the present rise as COM
pared with those in the price jump
following World War I, the bank
said, "since the all commodity
wholesale price index has not IN
creased as much this time as in
World War I, it is likely that the de-
cline in the price level will not be
as severe during this correction
period as it was in 1920-1921."
The bank cited number of fac
tors to support its view. A collapse

in farm prices does not appear i'm
minent in the near future, it said.
Food prices, although below recent
highs, are supported by high level
of employment and national in
come. Prices of many manufac-
tured goods have risen only mod
estly despite greatly increased
costs of labor and materials.
Furthermore, it is pointed out,
the greatly increased supply of
savings and liquid assets may pro-
vide some support for the price
level. The business inventory situa-
tion, moreover, does not appear
comparable to the excessive none
tary speculation following World
War I.

agricultural scene with gush of
warm air and sunshine, prospects
appeared reasonably good for a
fair-sized crop of corn in Minnesota
and South Dakota this year.

rest of the corn belt, a long period
of favorable weather conditions is
most essential The frequent, heavy
rains must stop in order that satu-

nesota and South Dakota is about
equal to that of last year, but heavy
losses have been incurred as re-
suit of excessive rain. Most observ-
ers agree that while the growing
corn crop is two to three weeks be-
hind last year it still has time to
stage a comeback, given favorable
weather.
Such a shortened growing period,
however, may result in reduced
yields. Also, growers in the two
states are reported to have turned,
in the past year, to planting corn
requiring a shorter growing period
than formerly. Therefore, while the
corn may mature relatively earlier
than formerly, it will do so at the
expense of a smaller yield an acre.

what the United States Department
of Agriculture says on this subject:
ut is Just as safe to keep canned
food in the car it comes inf the

is to empty the food into another
container. Cans and the food in
them are sterilized in the canning
process, but the dish into which
the food might be emptied is far
