Oakland, Calf. - Meet the
bull ant of the Antipodes.
He" may be a lady, but grows
to be an inch long and charges
like a bull at anything threat
ening his nest. which is in Aus
tralia.
If the Department of Agri-
culture has its way, this ant
will never break up an Ameri-
can picnic.
Australian Naturalist Ellen
Clark, of Box Hill, near Mel
bourne, has arrived with LOO
of these ants, with which she
sat up on the 5000 mile flight
across the Pacific.
The idea is to compare the
ants with the less belligerent
ants of America. Miss Clark
has been studying bull ants for
a year and is cooperating with
the American Research Insti-
tute.
Most bull ants. she explains.
are not really bulls at all. Most
are heifers,a or seXually imma-
ture females who do all the
work and fighting.
The male of the species,
known as Myrecia, is no great
shakes. He flies only on his
honeymoon, then dies. His Wild
ow, however, tears off her own
wings and devotes her life to
laying eggs. eight to 10 in a
batch.
Miss Clark soon will have to
take these ants back to Austria
liza by plane. The Department
of Agriculture's Bureau of En-
tomology and Plant Quaran-
tine is out to see that no Aus
tralian bull ant. sexually imma-
ture OF not. gets loose in this
country.

Truman. Congress Battle
For Control of Air Policy
Special to Central Press

Washington.-A bitter, thin
Unveiled contest for control of
American aviation policy is
seething between President
Truman and the COP Congress.
The astonishing technical rev.
olution in air power arising
from World War ii made man
datory a recasting of future
United States policy in military,
commercial and civilian flying,
with the emphasis on develop
ment of new winged weapons.
Senator Owen Brewster (R)
Maine, who would be known as
aviation's No. l congressional
discipline, initiated legislation
to create a committee of legisla-
tors to frame this all-important
policy.
At the point of passage, Mr..
Truman jumped the gun and
named a five-man civilian COM
mission to write the aviation
ticket. A few days later, a To-
member joint congressional
board was named.
One group will report to the
president; the other to Con-
gress. What happens next jan
uary-When both finish their
work-no one is willing to
guess.
The aviation industry is hap
ny. Its leaders say the more
study, the more recognition for
the role the flying machine is
destined to play in Americas
future.
No truce on Training-Com-
pulsory universal military train
ing will be one of the hottest
issues facing Congress when it
reconvenes January 6.
For the first time a bill has
been reported favorably by a
committee and is now on the
House calendar. Rep. Walter
G. Andrews (R), New York,
chairman of the House armed
services committee and a
staunch supported of UNIT,
will press for action.
The legislation must first
clear the House rules commit
tee. If it does that, it can be
called UP whenever the leader
ship states it for action.

Coal Contraet-The new labor
contract between John L. Lew

coal industry will be closely
watched by labor, management
and lawmakers. The labor UNI
ions will watch particularly the
effects of contract provisions
shielding the UNIV from string
ent regulations of the Taft-Hart-
ley bill.
What Is Willing and Able?"
Lawyers and lawmakers will
scrutinize that portion of the
contract which declares that
the pact shall be effective only
when the miners r willing
and able" to work. Undoubted-
ly, there will eventually be a
court Interpretation of the
willing and able clause.
Joseph Padway, AFL gener-
al counsel. recently pointed out
that Interpretation of the clause
as meaning that the contract
automatically lapses at any
time the miners declare them
selves unwilling or unable"
to work is open to question.
Padway said such an inter-
probation might imperil the
rights of miners to the 20-mil-
lion-dollar welfare fund, be-
cause it would mean that, with
the contract ineffective. the
UNIV men were no longer "em-
ployes."
The welfare fund is jointly
administered by the union and
the industry. Final interpreta-
ton of the clause must come
from the courts.

School Systems
Faces Biggest
Task This Year

Already bursting at its seams,
the u. S. school system will
have a bigger job this fall than
ever before in its history. Edu-
Gators cite these factors in
creasing the school load:
/. A bulge in the American
birth rate that started in l941
will put increasing numbers of
children in primary grades.
2. Veterans will continue to
use government benefits to re-
main in the classroom.
3. Appreciation of the bene-
fits of education has been slim
ulated in Americans until in

l. Salary scales which have
become too low because of
sharp increases in living costs.
2. Sharp reductions in the
number of people taking teach
er training just at the time
when more teachers are need
ed.
3. Deterioration of school
buildings and facilities during
the war years.
4. Sharply increased build
ing costs, curtailing repairs, e
placements and additions just
at the time when the need is
greatest.

A proposal to stagger the ira
ditional three-months' vacations
so that the schools can operate
the year around has been wide
ly discussed.
But educators do not pretend
that measures so far adopted
will meet the emergency fully.
DR.. Studebaker says the en-
Urgency calls for hectic ac-
ton" But he insists that the
country can meet its education
al needs on the same scale that
it met its war needs so that
every child can be given a
first rate education.

Growth Predicted

fall, but is expected to contin-

missioner of education, esti-
mates that in those six million
additional elementary school
pupils in the country, about a
million more in secondary
schools and a half million more
students in colleges.
The drive to meet the emery
ency situation has long since
started throughout the coun-
try. At least A state legisla-
lures have made major adjust
ments in school laws. Many

RUSSIAN ROULETTE

Russian roulette, in case you do not
know, is an interesting gamble with death.
The player takes a revolver, removes all
the bullets except one, puts the gun to
his temple and pulls the trigger.
If luck works we'll the gambler lives.
If fate loafs on the job the lone bullet ex-
plodes and the victim falls to the floor.
In few instances he RECEIVERS; in most he
dies.
In Washington last month a grocer
gave his friends demonstration of Mus
covite courage. The pistol fired and he
was rushed to the hospital. After few
weeks he recovered from the effect of
the slug in his noodle.
We can't recommend this experiment.
A man silly enough to make the test de-
serves bullet in the brain.

PROFITS ARE SHRINKING

Those who still believe that people in,
the food business are getting rich out of
current high retail prices should have at
tended recent conference in New York
where grocery manufacturers, wholesal-
ers and retailers discussed the facts of life.
Sales of high-priced items, it was al
most universally reported, were slipping.
This meant that profit margins were de-
clining all along the line-there is very
little fiat for anyone in inexpensive
staples. AS one retailer put it, "Our profit
margin is so damn little now it's still mar
rowing" And a representative of the Ma
tiOnal Association of Food Chains said
that the systems he represented were OPP
Grating on a narrower profit margin
than ever before.
The consumer naturally looks at price
initiation almost solely in the light of what
it is doing to his budget and his living
standards. He knows h a bag of gro
ceries costs more than twice as much as it
did before the war, and he becomes sus-
picious that manufacturers and stores are
profiting heavily at his expense. The truth
is that initiation hurts everyone. Every
body engaged in food business, from the
farmer who grows it to the retailer who
sells it to you, is being squeezed by high
err labor costs, higher supply costs, higher
taxes-higher everything. And there's
nothing they can do about it. Remember
that next time you shop. Gripe at infla-
tion-but don't blame it on your shop
keeper or the professors or any other
group. It's not their fault.
