will ultimately gain acceptance however thin its merits it is necessary to point once more to the real responsibility for failure in the United Nations to reach agreement ill the immensely important ques- ton of control of atomic energy.
 MT. Gromyko suggests again that the fault lies with certain influential circles" in the United States which he claims really do not want agreement The actual facts
 l. That of the fifteen nations which have been represented thus far the United Nations Atomic Energy Commission, only Soviet Russia and Poland oppose American control plan which all thirteen other nations have accepted
 g. That the Soviet alternative to the American proposal provides neither for international operation of atomic plants (which is the cornerstone of the Acheson Iientha repor for abolition of the veto in so far control of atomic energy is concerned (which is the cornerstone of the Baruch plan).
 g. That the Soviet alternative would require this country destroy its existing atomic weapons before it had received assurance that similar weapons might not be made by other nations and used against us
 Confronted by the fact that Soviet Russia has not won single convert to it's own proposal except its puppet Poland, MT. Gronykc, still operating on the theory that sufficient reiteration will away stone continues his effort to place elsewhere responsibility for failure which lies squarely at the door of Soviet Russia, and there alone.

Mental Bankruptcy
Cincinnati Enquirer

Described a playwright, actor and producer, Harold J. Kennedy of New York told some people here the other day of the futity of improving radio programs and motion pictures until the mentality of the average American is improved" It seems to us after mature reflection that our Eastern visitor has the thing backward and is guilty of the same ratlonalizng that which the radio executives and movie tycoons like to practice.
 Radio and motion pictures probably two of the greatest educational mediums conceived by man. So far they have done little or nothing, during the score or of years ill which they have been an influence to raise the American public's alleged mental age of 135 years. Indeed it would appear to have been to their interest to keep the public at that mental age and perhaps to lower it if possible. Moving pictures differ from radio only in that they are theoretically medium of entertainment whereas radio has certain of the functions of public utility and such fulfills at least the minimum requirements New ertheless radio in part at least has become bank rupt mentally that has restored to hiring its public to listen by offering inducements in cash and prizes Miss Hush2
 If tests surveys could De made they would be far likely reveal that it is not the American public whose mental age 13la but of the people who are running the movies and radio. No matter how shrewd they may be, they still appear to be blind to the moral issues involved in their treatment of the medium from which they derive such enormous profits

Various people have acted on this suggestion and so effectively that some of the Communist news papers in Europe are yelling Un- clel" They want the letter bar rage to cease.
 Most effective inSpirer of letters has been Generoso Pope, the Ital- ian-American newspaper publisher in New York, who has organized letter writing clubs and commit tees among Italian all over the USA. He estimates that perhaps 100000 letters have now been written to Italy alone. No wonder the commie press is howl ing! Equally effective letters can be written to Poland, Yugoslavia, Czechoslovakia-t countries just inside the Iron Curtin.
 These are some of the real weap- ons of peace. Whether the State Department is voted new propa- ganda funds or not, individual Americans can automatically en- list in the peoples army for peace by getting busy in all sorts of ways to build up American friend ship.

OUR BLANKET PRIMARY

Both political parties in Alaska are wondering what effect Alaskas blanket primary law will have upon the April elections Those who favored the measure, which adopted after an overwhelming referendum vote in favor of it. argued that it's effect would be to give voters better choice of candidates and eliminate undesirable candidates who might ride into office on a straight party vote.
 Under the new law the voter no longer has to ask for a Democratic or a Republican ballot and then vote only for Democrats only for Republicans The voter will receive one ballot with the candidates of both parties listed together and may vote for both Democrats and Republicans We believe that good many voters will be voting for the best in the field regardless of party utilization, and this will mean better men and women elected to office.
 For in looking the list of those who have filed for office it impossible to how any sensible voter will be able to pick full slate from either party

Yankee imperialism" said Mar shall.
 T remember showing some American films when I was in China" he added. One was a pic ure calledd State Fair about a typical farming community in the Midwest. I showed it in court yard one night to some Chinese Government officials. They were simply amazed that American farmers could work such vast tracts of land, produce so much, and still have time to relax and enjoy themselves.
 Chinese farmers have to work practically all the time to eke an existence out of their little patch es of land. We've got to help them and others to raise their standards In doing so, we promote world peace and understanding.

WHAT'S IN TAX BILL

Some CongreSSmen are Just a little dubious as to what 1t was they voted for when the tax bill sailed through the House of Rep resentatives the other day. For instance, in the closed door session of the Ways and Means Committee which preceded passage of the bill, unique debate took place regarding the provision for joint income-tax returns by man and wife:
 This part of the bill stated: The combined normal tax and Surtax under section II and subsection tB) of this section shall be twice the combined normal tax and Surtax that would be determined If the net income and the appli- cable credits against net income provided by section 25 were re- duced by one half"
 To explain this complicated legal jargon the committee called in tax expert Middleton Beavan He tried brayely to reduce this lan- guage to simple English, but only got more snarled up than ever.
 Finally he shugged his should CTS and gave up.
 We'll have an example worked out in the report" he said.

PRIZES TO FARMERS

One of MarShall'S callers, Greg ory Dozier, young rancher of Texarkana, Arkansas. suggested that, under the Junior Chambers plan, prizes might be awarded to young farmers who have made im- portant contributions to agricul- ture in other countries. But the big inducement, he said, would be trip to the United States.
 Say, for instance, 10 youths in a small farming community in Italy are competing for the trip" ex- plained Dozier. "The whole com munity will get into the spirit, and better production is bound to result. This ties right in with your efforts, under the Marshall Plan, to help others help them selves.
 However, our main objective is to promote friendship and better understanding between farmers of the United States and other coun- tries. The Junior Chamber is con- yinced that its plan will accom- plish them"
 T think you have a great idea" !" responded Marshall The State Department is going to give it some serious thought"
 Note-The Junior Chamber off cials also got a favorable response from the Agriculture and Interor Departments.

PEOPLES ARMY FOR PEACE

Last December this columnist tossed out the idea that one good way to get behind the Iron Cur tain and win friends for the USA was to write letters to relatives in Europe.
 Relatives are inclined to believe what their kinfolk say. And if word comes by letter that the USA isn't all that the commie radio says it is, that it isn't looking for war, and would chiefly like to see e. stable, prosperous United States of Europe. then those rela- tives are likely to believe the true facts.

orange. Using a sharp knife, care
fully remove all the orange pulp
(save to be used for something else,
like fruit cup). Using the sharp
pointed knife, cut out eyes, nose and
mouth, as for halloween pumpkin.
Two notches in the top part will
make the eyes when the top is
placed back on. Fashion the nose
and mouth in the bottom half of the
orange. To serve, fill the oranges
with chocolate pudding, or any dark
colored dessert mixture, for con-
trast to oranges. Place the tops of
oranges back on and serve on plate
with ginger snaps. Cider or ginger
ale makes a nice accompanying
drink.
