ARMING THE ARABS

America is discovering that giving away or lending money
is a very complicated business. An example of this compica-
ton was presented last week when Senator Bridges, New
Hampshire Republican and Chairman of the Senate Appro-
priatons Committee, questioned whether ERP aid earmarked
for Britain, is enabling the British to carry out their military
commitments to the Arab States.
These commitments, Bridges pointed out, include an s
million dollar annual payment to King Abdullah Of Trans
Jordon for his Arab Legion- Legion which has been in the
forefront of the sanguinary fighting against the new Jewish
State of Israel for possession Of Jerusalem.
ERP Administrator Paul G. Hoffman quickly agreed to
investigate and submit a report to Congree. Both the investi-
cation and the report will be welcomed by the American
people.
Obviously, it would be the height of irony for America,
which is pumping billions Of dollars into Europe to maintain
peace, to discover that part Of that money may be going into
Arab pockets to support a ~fedgeling war against the newest
member Of the family of Nations.
The immediate question raised by Bridges, of course, is
part of the larger question whether the United States should
use recovery funds to force political concessions from receiv-
ing countries. Congressional opinion apparently is strongly di-
vided on this point.
But on another pont-whether American dollars should
be used by any receiving Nation, either directly or indirectly,
to aid the military fortunes Of other-Washington' answer
will certainly be an unadorned negative. ERP aid is intended
to bolster world peace, not undermine it.

WASTEFUL FUEL


A fuel which has some 10000 uses, and which IS capable
of substantially relieving the strain on our tue OIL faclhties'
is LARGELY going to waste. That little known fact IS the sub
Iect of a recent article by Japmes Z. Pew OF the Sun vi
Company. ,.u,
factors which are beyond the control OF producers, MI. Pew
states, about Al per cent of all the gas that IS produced with
crude oil in this country is now wasted
The reasons for this are various. Most important has
been the attitude Of the Federal Power Commission. 1t has
followed a policy Of such rigid control that time after time
there have been interminable and costly delays IN approving
agreements for the sale Of the gas, even though both buyer
and senor were willing. Further, the FPC has insisted on such
low prices for gas at the well-head that in many instances it
has discouraged the production Of gas for market, and has
made it economically impossible for drnlers to search for new
sourses.
save in time Of war, hould any government agency have the
authority to block the transportation and use OF natural gas
for any legitimate purpose? And why should not the owners OF
natural gas reserves be permitted to have their gas trans
portated to market where it may compete on a fair basis with
other fuels? A wider use of natural gas in industry, according
to Mr.. Pew, would save hundreds of millions of barrels OF fuel
oil for conversion into other products. In this day, when
there is a ready and expanding market for every form OF
energy, all should be utilized to the limit.

MOST FOR YOUR MONEY

In periods of high business activity, such as the present.
the profit statements Of large industries often create a mis-
leading impression. The casual observer sees only that this or
that company has made millions. What he doesn't understand
In many instances is that profit is almost always a very small
part of the money taken in by any industry-and that the maj
ority of our industries provide US with goods and services at
an almost unbelievably low profit" cost to the individual con-
sumner.
The meat packing industry is a good example. Cattle
hogs and sheep originate on the farms and ranges Of the coun-
try. But it's a far cry from meat on the hoof to steaks and
chops for the dinner table. The animals must be transported.
processed and redistributed before they are ready for local
retailers. 1t is the responsibility of the packing industry to
see that this complex and vital service functions smoothly
for American consumers.
In 1947, o. leading meat packing companies, which do
more than 20 per cent of the countrys commercial meat bus
mess, made an average profit of about an average rofit of about
1T cents on each dollar of sales. That was around 3/5ths of a
cent less than they made in 1916. The figure covers the sale
not only of 1meat, but also a long list of by-products such as
hdise, soaps, oils, glands for medicine, etc. Translated into
profit per pound Of meat, the packers profit averaged but a
fraction of a cent on all meat sold.
Thus does free enterfrise combine peak economy with
peak efficiency and servie. Its objective is to give us the
most value for the least cost, in order to do the greatest vol
umn of business. This is the secret of the great growth Of
American industry and our high standard of living What we
consider necessities a large part of the world looks on as lux
uries. t a

HOLDS ONE-MAN SHOW
A group Of paintings by FL
lis Wilson, gifted colored Am
erican artist, will be exhibit
ed in a one-man show at the
j. B. Speed Museum in Louis
Friday, July 2 for the period Of
a month.
Many of these paintings
come straight from a highly
successful exhibit given Mr..
Wilson at a 81 tn Street art
gallery, center of New York
City's art activity, last month.
Wilson a graduate of the
Art Institute in Chicago, is a
two time Guggenheim award
winner, having received the
award in 1914 and, again in
1916, for his powerful and his
understanding portrayal of the
Negro people. His work are
in oil and combine a dynamic
use Of color with a simplicity
of line. The New York Times
worte of his work: His in
lines invest his figures with
almost heroic PROPORTIONS and
great simple dignity. =.
Said Carlyle Burrows Of the
New York Herald Tribune:
His coloring combines sem
suousness with taste and it at
tains a high ointin the fore
ground of his Dying Nets .
The elemental strength inl
his bold and simple forms is
readily felt.
This artist had held several
one-man shows-at the Bar
net-Aden Galley in Washing
ton, d. c., at the South Side
Community Art Center in Chi
cago and in other cities throu-
ghout the country. But this is
not his first show in the State

Congress Vetoes Housing

Over 100000 families are
living doubled up. More than
100000 dwellings have eli
Their no running water or no pr
vate flush toilet. All in all it is
estimated that over 13,5OO,0OO
new housing units are needed
to house the people adequately.
Less than IS per cent Of the
new housing needs have been
started by private builders.
The prices of these new houses
have risen approximately 100
per cent since 1889 and only
9 per cent of veterans could
afford to buy them. Rents in
new houses are far above the
average workers means.
In order to keep the prices
of existing houses and rentals
as high as possible the real es-
tate lobby has fought against
new now-cost housing. And the
80th Congress,-the good fr-
lend Of big property interests
has cooperated by killing a
housing legislation which won
Id provide Federal subsidies
for low-cost housing.

WV Petition

VFW Petition
With a total of over $4,000
Nebraska signers, the Veter-
ans of Foreign Wars on Thur.
July lst, formally filed with
Secretary of State Frank Mar
sh, in initiative petition to
place a World War II state
bonus bill before the voters on
the November End ballot.
r. A. Lowe department adj
~jutant Of the VFW, signed the
affidavit accompanying the
signed petitions. 1--WE feel that
an issue Of this much import
once can be most democratic
ally decided by the people
themselves in the election in
Move nber. That is our pur-
pose in placing the issue on
the ballot through the petit
ion"
Meanwhile, Larry ]. Gau-
CHEN, IS year old newly elect
ed department V F w COM
mander at North Bend, stated
this monring that "In placing
this issue on the ballot for the
Nebraska voters, the Veterans
of Foreign Wars is carrying
out a mandate of its Encamp-
ment held June a of 1o47 at
Hastings. At that time, the
veterans voted to get issue be
fore the public. That job is
done and now the people all
by themselves must decide the
question.
William T. Gleason, dep
uty to the Secretary of State,
disclosed that the VFW affid
avit reported a total expend-
iture of 1924 in obtaining the
$4,000 signatures.
Lowe reported that mo
paid petition circulators were
employed. The entire job was
done by volunteer workers in
our 100 WV posts through
out the state.
1900 signers were requir-
ed according to Gleeson. He
said that the law requires 7
per cent Of the qualified vot-
ers in the state who voted at
the last general election.
Lowe explained that in Dec.
and January of this year, the
VFW conducted polls among
World War ii ex-servicemen
in VFW posts throughout Ne
braska, "and the record indie
ated that these veterans favor
the adjusted pay by a 90 per
cent majority" .... ~.
Deadline for filing the pet.
itions was fixed at 100 D. m.
July 1st, four months before
the election date, November ..
1t was estimated that five or
six hundred more signers wo-
uld be delivered before that
| time.
The VFW bonus bill propo
sed that the State of Nebraska
give adjusted pay to veterans
based on $1,000 per month for
domestic service and $500
per month for foreign service
during World War III. How
ever, Lowe pointed out, "a
maximum Of $4,000 per. vet
eran for stateside service a III
S35O.OO per veteran for forei-
gn service, has been written
into our proposed bill"
To finance the program, a
five year period from 1949 to
1858 is proposed. During this
time to. raise the funds for the
payment to the 10000 Nebr.
World War II veterans, a 8

IS to a
BY COLLIE ]. NICHOLSON

Grambling, La (special) -
The Grambling Tigers gave their
cousins from Barksdale Field the
extra base treatment Wednesday
and it proved so potent the home
town delegation romped off with
q sparkling 1874 victory.
Greatly aggravated by a par
OF ferst-inning triples by Ben
Gipson and Earl Smith and their
own daffy doings, the air base
tenants were exposed to a 1S-hit
attack that never abated and
placed them in a most embarrash-
ing situation. In all, Grambling
sprayed the outfield with seven
extra1base blows, all of which fl
cured prominently in the scoring.
The Tigers hoped on Eugene
McNeal for four runs en- the
opening inning, one in the third
three more in the fourth, two in
the fifth and added the final pair
on scratch singles in the sew
enth.
Barksdale garnered its runs
in two big innings. A pair OF hits
produced a lone tally the four
tn and three additional bingles
coupled with a trio of Tiger er,
rors, enabled the Jets to register
three more in the fifth.
Mackie' Freeze was the winning
hurler, posting victory number
three for the season.

his short lead, waves those long
arms and sets sail with the first
motion from the mound.
He's tried it 6S times this year,
so he's been caught only three
times. Twice, he was too hasty
and took off before the picher's
motion. Only once has catcher
thrown him out from the plate.
