more than 1000 persons in and
around the city in series Of raids

IT COULD BE WORSE

Shortages of petroleum products
in the Middle West, although accen-
tuated by the action Of major oil
company in rationing gasoline to
dealers, probably will not develop
into a serious crisis, according to-
an article in the July issue Of
Business Comment" published by
Northern Trust company of Chi
cago. Supplies are not expected to
fall below 10 per cent of the current
demand.
When supplies are 80 to 100 per
cent Of record high demands, cause
for alarm is not warranted, the
article said. Main problem is to
spread the available supply equi-
tably over shortage areas.

VETO ATTACKED:
Movement AfOot

Evidence is growing that there is
under way in the senate a quietly
organized bipartisan movement to
reduce or eliminate the veto power
through which Russia has blocked
virtually every important United
Nations program.
Still in its early stages, the move
ment is interpreted as a reflection
of strong apprehension in congress
that the United Nations cannot con-
tinue to function under existing
rules.
The group, which is aiming to hit
Russia on it's nos, is said to be con-
sidering a plan along these lines:
To draft, for congressional action,
a memorial to the United Nations,
proposing that a convention be
called to amend the U. N. charter.
Under the charter itself, such a
convention would take place auto
matically after 10 years Of opera
ton, but this senatorial group feels
that 10 years is too long to wait.
Advocates of the plan believe that
congressional recommendation
that the charter be amended would
have great influence in putting the
question to votes before the U. N.
general assembly and security
council.

FARMERS PROSPER:
ASSETS, Income Up


Both farm assets and farm in
come have expanded tremendously
since the outbreak Of World War II,
according to a late report released
by the National Industrial Confer
ence board.
Total assets increased about 80
per cent from 53.7 billion dollars at
the beginning Of 1910 to 101.5 billion
dollars six years later. Gross income
from agriculture shot up 124 per
cent over the same period.
That income, plus government
payments, totalled about II billion
dollars in 1910 and only little less
than Is billion dollars in 1915. Virtu-
ally all the gain was registered
by income from agriculture. Gov
eminent paym ents were not
changed during the years covered
by the report. Cash receipts from
farm marketings rose from 8.3 bill
lion dollars In 1910 to very con-
siderable 20.8 billion In 1915.
Real estate was by far the largest
item among farm assets, rising
from 1915 billion dollars In 1910 to
56.6 billion in 1916.

first prince consort since Queen Vic
toria's husband, Prince Albert Of
Saxe-Coburg. He cannot become
king, but probably win be given a
dukedon shortly after the wedding.
King George is expected to ask
parliament to increase Princess
Elizabeth's income and perhaps give
her husband a special allowance.
In the meantime, even the royal
family is troubled by the housing
shortage, and the princess and her
husband probably will start their
married life in way familiar to
everyone-by moving in with her
parents In Buckingham palace.

BETRAYED:
Mine Pact

Rep. Fred A. Hartley (Rep., N.
-, co-author of the Taft-Hartley la
Dor act, has charged big business
and big labor with betraying the
public in negotiating the latest John
L. Lewis coal mining contract.
Hartley's attack followed shortly
after southern coal operators fol-
lowed northern and midwestern op-
orators In signing soft coal con-
tracts with the 400, 000-member Unit
ed Mine Workers.
He told the house that sat least
one clear violation Of the law was
contained In the contracts, referring
to the section providing for a
"checkoff" from the miners wages.
The Taft-Hartley law, he said,
permits a checkof only for union
dues, but the contract calls for a
checkof Of initiation fees and union
assessments. Hartley added that
other sections of the contract ''vio-
late the spirit and intent of the law"
Noting that the contract afforded
a prime case history of the evils
Of industry-wide bargaining" he
said that there was evidence Of
"collusion between the mine opera
tors and the UNIV with the inten-
ton of violating the law"

Now He Tells Us

Science has delivered a mortal
blow to another dime novel action
sequence.
Prof. Philip c. Rutledge. North
western university engineer, says
it's simply impossible to sink over
your head in quicksand. He says
sand and water combined have a
specific gravity Of between 1.8 and
2 and specific gravity of human is
.95. Therefore. you can sink in only
up to your waist.

NAVY RESERVATIONS:
Alarming Rate

Higher pay and a more satisfac-
tory home life are the two main
lures which have drawn the most
bright and capable young career
officers from the navy and army
into civilian jobs at what is called
IAN alarming rate" during the past
year.
In the last 10 months more than
LOO naval officers have resigned
commissions won at Annapolis to
take higher paying civilian jobs.
During the same period, the army
lost only 259 West Point officers via
the resignation route, but they are
men whom the service can i'll afford
to spare.
The bug has even extended to the
Federal Bureau of Investigation
whose agents, numbering 5000 at
the end Of the war, dropped off to
5000 by the beginning of 1947. The
total now is back only to about
3,400.
One of the main reasons cited for
the wide difference between army
and navy designations is worry
among the younger naval officers
over drastically reduced appropria-
tons for the department and the
unification bill now before congress.
Some navy men believe unification
will hinder their careers.

On the day preceding the
