|LANDON:
| Big Medicine

ALI M. Landon, the Kansas
budget-balancer who might have
been president of the United States
if Franklin D. Roosevelt hadn't de-
feated him by landslide in 1885,
has come out publicly in favor Of
Gen. Dwight Eisenhower for Presi-
dent in 1948.
Landon was known to have joined
forces with Roy Roberts of the KAN
sas City Star to push the Eisen-
hover bandwagon. In Chicago to adj
dress Kiwanis meeting, Landon
said, ''The Kansas delegation to the
Republican national convention will
be for Eisenhower. That, coming
from the shrewd former governor
Of Kansas, was strong political
medicine.
II don't think any Of the politi-
clans in my state will get out of line
on that. I think / know what the
generals social, economic and po-
litical views are. He hasn't said
anything to me about the presidency
directly or indirectly but it's my
guess he will make his views known
when he leaves the army and they
will be all right"
Meanwhile, it was announced that
Eisenhower was scheduled to take
over his scheduled position as presi-
dent of Columbia university next
June Just about two weeks before
the Republican national convention
is supposed to convene.

FODDER:
Spuds for Cattle

A New Jersey cattleman, Eugene
K. Denton, has a theory that might
go long way toward easing the
grain shortage.
His idea is to feed cattle raw po-
tatoes instead Of grain.
Experimenting with 20 yearlings
purchased especially for the pur-
pose, Denton fed them on special
diet, based on ground potatoes, salt
and molasses, for Is days. The
steers, which averaged 667k pounds
when the experiment began, showed
an average gain per steer of IA
pounds a day or 25A pounds per
steer for the test period.
Prof. William Ljundahl of Rutgers
university department of animal
husbandry called the experiments
success.
Denton made public this simple
formula: To every 100 pounds Of
freshly sliced potatoes add one
handful of regular salt and one gall
Ion of molasses water. The molasses
water is prepared by adding one
pint of molasses to one full pail Of
water.

OIL FOR MIDWEST:
Lake Water1vay Route

Advocates Of the Great Lakes-St.
Lawrence seaway plan are insisting
that the Midwest oil and fuel short
age would not be as serious as it is
today II the proposed waterway
were built and operating.
With congress making ready once
again to vote on the project, the
acute threat of underheated homes
and idle factories in mid-America
this winter highlights one of the po-
tential new uses for the seaway: To
relieve the nations over-taxed rail-
roads. --
The Midwest fuel oil shortage is
caused by demand which has grown
bigger than the present capacity of
railroad tank cars and Midwestern
refneries, industry surveys point
out. But there is no shortage of
ships to carry oil from overseas
sources of supply.
Cheapest oil coming to the United
States today is arriving from South
America and the Near East, but the
only way for waterborne oil to reach
the Middlewest would be through
seaway connecting the Great Lakes
ports with the Atlantic by means of
a st. Lawrence passage.
A similar situation is arising with
relation to iron ore, as Minnesota
and Michigan ranges give out. Iron
ore of the future appears likely to
come from Labrador, Cuba, Brazil,
Sweden and other areas abroad,
thus indicating definite need for
seaway to the Midwest.

HIGHWAYS:
High Costs

Although postwar vehicle traffic
has zoomed beyond the most liberal
expectations, the nations highway
improvement program is tagging
because of the high cost of road
building.
That is one reason why Rep.
George A. Dondero (Rep., Mich.)
chairman Of the house public works
committee, believes that congress
will extend the federal highway aid
program when the time comes.
Americans will have driven 400
billion miles by the end of this
year as compared with 200 billion in
1899, according to an estimate by
the public roads administration.
That means greater wear and tear
on battered roads and highways that
were used heavily, with minimum
maintenance, during the war.
Deficiencies in the highway trans
portation system Of the nation can
be met only by vastly increased
funds, experts point out. The cur
rent three-year 1.5-billion-dollar fed
eral highway aid program won't
handle all Of the needed improve
ments, largely because Of increases
in costs. Of road building materials,
equipment and labor. since it was
adopted in 1945.
It is estimated that wartime
street and highway depreciation
amounted to about two billion dol
lars and that putting them back in
shape will cost FIVE times that
amount.

HONEY, 6 FLAVORS:

A beekeeper named E. c. Close of

he said, he has Unanswered his bees
into turning out honey in straw

flavor is colored appropriately.
Close keeps his bees in electri-
cally heated glass hives with the
temperature rigidly controlled. A

from a glass container into trough
for the bees; and along with the

the real secret behind producing COL

He adds food coloring to the syrup
to get the right colors for the straw

favors. The chocolate and maple
favors, for some occult reason,
need no additional coloring.

HEMISPHERE
Defense Treaty OK

This is, as Sen. Arthur Vanden-
berg (Rep., Mich.) told his fellow
senator's, "a significant moment to
demonstrate the solidarity Of this
hemisphere.
And with the knowledge Of that
certain fact uppermost in their
minds members of the U. S. senate
voted u to / to ratify the inter-
American defense treaty agreed to
by 81 American republics at the Rio
conference last summer.
The hemisphere agreement for
mutual defense Of nations in the
Americas embodies three main
points:
I In case Of armed attack from
L. outside the hemisphere, all ma
tons have the automatic right to
meet the attack with military force.
= If attack occurs inside the
80 hemisphere, American nations
may 60 voluntarily to the aid of the
victim, with consultations to follow.
J If attacks occur both inside the
Os hemisphere and outside the Sc
curity region immediate consulta-
tons will be called.
Overall design of the treaty, then,
is the expressed determination to
bring the full force of western hem
isphere nations to the defense Of
any one of them that may be at
tackled.
Virtually unanimous approval Of
the treaty by the senate was good
indication that congress was fully
aware of the cardinal principle of
successful foreign relations that
Dickenson County herald. [volume] (Clintwood, Va.) 1939-195?, 1948-01-01

commitments abroad are worse
than useless unless the nation forms
strong and lasting alliances to sup
port those commitments. The hem
ispheric treaty had in it the markings
of good foreign policy.
Meanwhile, President Truman
had some thoughts on how inter-
American defense could be adj
vanced from theory to the realm
Of actuality. He proposed to con-
gress that the Panama canal be
converted into a sea-level water
way (see map). and that a unified
command be established in the At
lantic area with Adm. H. P. Blandy
in authority over army. navy and
air forces from Iceland and Green
land to the Caribbean.
The vital concept of national Sc
curity. it appeared, was shaping up
into competent, realistic program.

CRISIS ENDED:
France Wins

France, as nearly as could be as
certained in these times of mercu-
rial events, apparently had broken
the threat Of immediate economic
disaster and was making ready to
stage a comeback.
Major focal point Of the crisis
the Communicated strikes of more
than a million French workers-had
been dissolved by Premier Robert
Schuman. #
The Communist controlled gen.
eral confederation Of labor (CGT)
had yielded to Schuman's ultima
tum and ordered nearly million
workers still on strike to return to
their jobs. The action climaxed a
spreading back-to-Work movement
on the part Of the workers them
selves.
With its strike front disintegrated
by new stringent laws, Communist
leadership accepted Schuman's "fi-
nal" offer - a $3.50 bonus living
allowance for all workers who re-
turned Immediately.
While it might be too early to pre-
dict with certainty, it appeared as
though the breaking Of the nation
wide strike marked the end of the
direct Communist menace to the
French government. At least it was
serious setback for the Reds.
Supporting the theory that Com
munist power in France is on the
wane was the fact that, on the same
day the strikers agreed to return to
work. the Soviet Union broke off
trade talks with France aimed at
bringing sorely needed grain into
the country from Russia. The Rus
SLAMS also threatened to terminate
the 1914 Franco-Russian alliance.
This was taken to mean that the
Russians do not intend to do any
thing to aid France If the Commu-
mist party there has no chance Of
success in it's efforts to take over the
government.
On the other side of the political
balance, Schuman's achievement in
breaking the strike was believed to
have postponed, perhaps for months
the return to power of Gen. Charles
DeGaulle and his extreme rightist
party. Rally Of the French People.

THE FLEET:
lust in Case

With the Palestine situation at
fever pitch the U. S. navy was cast
ing a nautical eye in the direction
of the Mediterranean and making
preparations to increase the fleet In
those waters If conditions reach a
crucial enough point to justify such
action.
Reports say that new units stand
ready to be sent to the area which
has been cracking with tension
since the Palestine partition. And
the navy may redeploy Its present
forces In the Mediterranean to bring
a concentration of ships to Palestine
in an effort to discourage the
Arabs from declaring holy war.
So far the U. S. role in the Holy
Land troubles has been limited to
an embargo of arms shipments
there and to the Arab states Of the
Middle East.
It is a delicate situation for both
commercial and political interests
of this country. American oil inter-
ests In the middle east are uneasy
over the Arab-Jew clashes, and
from the political point OF view
there is the danger that Russia
might move troops to Palestine,
ostensibly to keep order, but actu-
ally to grab a strategic toothold
there.
