sun spots affect weather conditions

the farm. A poor crop, he added,
would hit the market, and a bad
market would strike business In
general. And then bad times, he
concluded.
The professor gave him a passing
grade, not because of the startling
thesis but ON the strength OF the
students literary gem.
Twenty-four years have passed
since the Japanese American pen
ned his thesis, but. today. the stu
dy of sun spots is still fresh dis
covery among scientific business
experts.
The Japanese American, II may
be said here, stumbled into his
thesis because he believed In the
Bible.
In Chapter Al of the Gensis IN
the first book of the Old Tesla
ment, Joseph explains a dream
which Pharaoh had.
Seven lean and ill-favored kind
came after seven empty years Of
corn blasted with East wind. They
shall be seven years of famine. !.
Behold, there shall be seven
years of great plenty throughout
all the land of Egypt. and there
shall arise after them seven years
of famine. -"
If business, like history, repeats
itself, we are in a critical period.

pleased to report that under the

local NvC has already taken the
first step toward making that
dream a reality. The rattle drive
held early this summer has, we un-

which has been banked In q spe-
cial fund. Plans are also under
way to increase that fund to an
even more respectable amount,
come winter or next spring. Mean
while, NvC officers are looking In
to all the possibilities and locations,
and perhaps it might not be as far
off as one might imagine, before
the organization proundly opens the
doors of its new clubhouse.
Present plans seem to be to COM
mence operations on a modest
scale, with expansion to follow in
the course of time. On the other
hand, If large enough fund could
be raised, the initial clubhouse
might be a much more ambitious
affair. The consensus seems to IA

NvC recently publicized q resolu-

The average Nisei veteran probably
doesn't feel that the opportunity to
gain citizenship through naturali-'

persons who we're parents Of men

INDUSTRY REACTS - When

debated by Congress, organized
labor raised q hue and cry
against it throughout the land.
Union leaders seemed to have
convinced the average worker
that it would lead to all sorts

DEFINITIONS:
Long Felt Want

Rep. Forest A. Harness (Rep..
Ind.) suddenly became ware of a
long felt want for an accurate and
distinctive definition of a couple Of
much-used words - propaganda"
and Information"
His concern stemmed from the
fact that he is chairman of a house
expenditures subcommittee current
ly investigating government publ
city and propaganda; hence. he felt
impelled to explain to Secretary Of
State Marshall that he has no inten-
ton of interfering with spreading
proper information, only with ''un-
lawful and improper influencing Of
legislation for propaganda.
Thus. the need for definitions.
which Harness phrased this way:
CONFORMATION: The act or
process of communicating
knowledge; to enlighten.
PROPAGANDA: A plan for
the propagation Of a doctrine
or a system of principles"
Just how, if at all, the subtler
types Of propaganda a be sharp
ly and Immediately distinguished
from information, and vice versa,
Harness did not say. The definitions
were his grandchildren, and the &C.
curate application of them appeared
likely to become his headache.

Budget Reuiew

ord treasury surplus next June of

hurt Republican feelings by telling
the nation that congress trimmed
the l947 budget estimates by only
is billion dollars.
His mid-year budget review esti-
mated tax receipts this year at
SAL .667 .000, 600, which is 81 billion
dollars more than any previous
forecast.
Mr.. Truman made his announce.
ment coincidentally with a bureau
Of labor report which indicated
that the U. S., far from being in
for a business depression, can look
forward to a period Of prosperity
continuing indefinitely"
The present jolly outlook for the
state Of the budget is based upon
an expectation Of continued high
prices, taxes, incomes and employ
ment, all of which preciudes a de-
preston.
From the Republican point Of
view, however, the Presidents bud
get review was a snide attempt to
play politics. Sen. Styles Bridges
(Rep., N. H.. chairman Of the sem
ate appropriations committee. said
the new estimate of greater tax re-
ceipts proves that the nation was
robbed of a tax reduction by pure
y political vetoes."
It was q sure sign that the Re-
publicans would renew their tax re.
duction fight when congress recon-
vened in January. Equally GER
tain appeared to be the probability
that the President would meet such
q measure with another veto.

New York August 10 - Con-

for the cratic production that
has kept prices high.
With steel on an ALLEGATION

vailing in n~on-ferrous metals,

many lines still have no aSSur-
ance of sustained material sup

example,, has contributed di-
