FED UP:
With Russia

To his Chicago audience, it sound
ed as though U. S. Secretary of State
George Marshall was full up to here
with Russia's obtuse and exasperat-
ing tactics in the field of interna-
tional relations.
He made it clear that the state Of
active resentment of the Soviet Un-
ion, to which Americans have been
goaded by the obstructionist actions
of Russian leaders, can in no wise
be interpreted as warmongering.
Thus, Marshall charged Russia
with blocking European recovery
and waging a deliberate anti-Ameri-
can propaganda campaign.
''1t is time to call a halt to such
infiammatory practices" he said.
The U. S. refuses to "stand by and
watch the disintegration Of the inter-
national. community to which we be-
long,"
It was one Of the most angry de-
nunciations yet made against Rus
sia by a high U. S. official, and
there was a distinct possibility that
it was reasonably accurate redec-
ton of the temper of the times. Mar

FOURTH ESTATE
Editors Polled

Americas weekly newspaper edi-
tors, the still, small voices from
the grass roots, would make Har-
old Stassen of Minnesota their per-
sonal choice as the Republican pres
idential candidate in 1948, accord
ing to a straw poll conducted by
Publishers Auxiliary, newspaper
publication devoted to the weekly
field of journalism.
At the same time, with laudable
objectivity, the editors expressed
their belief that Gov. Thomas E.
Dewey of New York would be the
one to receive the COP bid.
President Truman, as virtually
the only conceivable Democratic
candidate, was chosen by the edi-
tors for that party's nomination.
They also conceded overwhelming
ly that the Democratic delegation
would give him the nod at the ma
tional convention next year.

Investigation of the application Of
the atom to agriculture has been
given impetus By the estimate of
William w. Waymsck. member of
the atomic energy commission and
Des Moines, Iowa, newspaper pub
Usher, that radioactive isotopes may
be instrumental in increasing farm
production in the U. S. by 240 mil
lion dollars in one year. Over Pc
riod of 10 years, such an increase
would pay for the two billion dol
lars spent on developing atomic
energy during the war.
Value Of the isotope to agricul-
tural research is similar to that

Not only did the atomic bomb ex-
plosions at Hiroshima and Nagasaki
reveal the presence of a new and
terrible war weapon, but they also
may have ushered in an era Of
greater progress and prosperity for
the American farmer.
Researchers at Oregon State col
lege in Corvallis currently are con-
Quoting experiments which they be-
lieve may add millions of dollars
worth of produce to the nations
yield in agricultural products.
Key to that expanded production
is the radioactive isotope, by-prod-
uct of nuclear fission, which is be-

into every field of natural science.
