the necessary tWo-thlrdS senate vote
at the special session. The house
does not vote on treaties.
BUMPER CROP EFFECT
This years expected bumper
grain crop. by the way. is giving
Democrats one of their main
talking points in urging ratifica-
lion of the wheat treaty.
When the U. S. department of
agriculture came out with it's recent
grain crop forecast, Secretary
Charles F. Brannan's first reaction
was that the news Should make red
faces among the Republican mem
bers of congress who killed the in
ternational wheat agreement at the
last session.
Brannan declared that without
the treaty the prospective wheat pro-
duction made the future of wheat
exports uncertain. It's now a ques-
ton, he said, of whether this coun-
try can continue its present high
level of wheat production or must
reduce the wheat production goal
next year.
Latest estimates of USDA's crop
reporting board indicate this years
harvest of major grains will total a
record of $500, 100000 bushels.
This includes a wheat crop of
1900, 600, 900 bushels, a little short of
last years record; a record-smashing
corn crop of $500, 000, 900 bushels, an
oat crop of 1,400,0 900 bushels and
a barley crop of 307, 000, 900 bushels.
Slightly different views from those
of Brannan are presented by former
Under Secretary of Agriculture Nor
ris E. Dodd, now secretary-general
of the United Nations food and agri-
culture organization.
Gin order merely to catch up with
where we were 10 years ago-when
the situation was bad enough-the
world has to produce enough addi-
tional food to feed more additional
people than the whole population of
the United States" Dodd said.
INTEREST IN LOANS
Another thing those expected
record grain crops are doing is
attracting attention again TO
government loan
ments.
With prices for most farm prod
ucts above the parity or "fair price"
scale for the past few years, farmer
interest in government loans for
agricultural commodities has been
largely academic.
But now with bumper crops in
sight, loan notices from Uncle Sam
have picked up circulation.
Right now, the 90 percent of
parity loan policy will take care of
wheat, corn, cotton, peanuts, rice
and other commodities specifically
covered by this legislation.
The real squeeze, if we get big
crops and the law is not changed,
will come in 1850 when the 90 per-
cent guarantee expires and is re-
placed by a much lower flexible
price program.
USDA has already announced that
the 1913 corn crop will be supported
at 90 percent of the parity price on
Oct. 1. This will vary for different
sections but will probably average
about $1.45 a bushel.
RURAL COSTS UP
Montana farmer-stockman., 1948-08-01
RURAL COSTS UP

Rural living costs have re-
gained their all-time peak previ-
ouslY reached last January.
Although there has been a season.
al reduction in clothing costs, other
commodities bought by farmers for
family maintenance have increased
and the rural living cost again has
reached 272 percent of the 1904
average, the same as January.
The index figure is now 8 percent
higher than in June, 1947.

ELECTION:
Czech STYLE

There was no establishment any
where over the fact that Premier
Element Gottwald's Communist
dominated government received a
sweeping majority of votes in
Czechoslovakia' first election since
the Communist coup.
Voters had just one slate of cam
didates to scan and they either
voted for them or no one. Figures
showed that the governments slate
had received 1872 per cent of the
total vote.
However, the ministry of the in
terror announced that 770,70 Czechs
had issued mute protests against
the Communist ticket by turning in
blank ballots.
After it was over the plain peo-
pie of the country settled down to
wait for developments and wonder
how Gottwald would use the cleo
ton victory. Many thought he
might use it as a lever to pry Presi-
dent Eduard Benes from office.
Besides opposing the single-ticket
election, Benes is known also to
have disapproved of the new Czech
constitution which the Communist
ruled parliament adopted last
month. Whether he would take the
required oath of allegiance to it
was q matter of doubt.
One story being C r Gu e d
claimed that Benes would resign
soon, and that grave Ill health"
would be offered as the excuse.

VOICE.:
BeLittLing

Voice of America broadcasts,
which have never received a full
measure Of congressional approval,
sank to an even lower level OF
disesteem because of a series Of
ill-starred programs beamed to
Latin America last winter.
The scripts in question, denounced
by senator's as sabotage, SANDER
and libel Of the u. S., first attra cted
attention in March during house
appropriation committee hearings
on the Voice of America. In the
sample script that the committee
wanted to look over were some i'll.
chosen remarks about Wyoming.
Stout-hearted Wyoming congress
men shrieked in anguish. Other
scripts were examined, and Sen.
Homer Capehart (Rep., Ind.) fin
ally aired the whole thing before
the senate.
The legislators shuddered as they
heard Capehart read from the
scripts such excerpts as:
New England was founded by
hypocrisy and Texas by SIM
'Nevada's two main cities COM
pete with each other because PEG.
pie get married in Las Vegas and
divorced in Reno"
The programs were handled by
the National Broadcasting company
under contract with the state
department. Rene Borgia, the man
who wrote the scripts, was fired.
and Alberto Gandero, Borgia's su-
pervisor, resigned.
Some Indication of the seriousness
with which the government regards
the unfortunate broadcasts was pro-
vided when President Truman him.
self instituted an investigation Of
the situation.

President Truman's choice of
Charles F. Brannan to succeed
Clinton Anderson as secretary of
agriculture has received the whole
hearted approval of the national
farm organizations.
They consider the 44-year-old
former assistant secretary of agri-
culture "a friend of the farmer"
One of the bases for this feeling
of harmony is the fact that Bran
nan and the farm organizations con-
cur in thinking that the prewar
parity law is badly outdated.
Such crops as soybeans, for in
stance, have attained a much great
er Importance since the law was
passed but still have no satisfa Glory
price fixing basis. Other farmers,
including cattle and dairy produc-
ers, claim their parity scales are
out of line in this postwar period.
Ideas developed by Brannan to
help remedy this situation have
been largely adopted by the lead
ing farm groups and are incorpo-
rated in bills now pending before
congress. Unless congress acts by
the end of this year the law guar
anteeing farm prices at 80 per cent
of the fixed parity rate will expire.
Serving quietly. as assistant Sec
rotary of agriculture for the past
four years, Brannan has made
himself the backbone of the ad-
ministration's drive to enact long
range farm program.
Thus, the farmers think a lot of
Brannan because he has demon
strated that he is looking out for
their interests in realistic, level
headed fashion.
President Truman, it appeared,
had made a good choice in putting
Brannan at the head of the de-
partment. Almost everybody was
satisfied. and that, in an election
year, was a most desirable situa-
ton for Mr.. Truman.

ATOM PLANE:
For POsterity

In August of 1915 B-29 super
fortress named Enola Gay became
the first airplane in history to carry
an atomic bomb to a target and
release it to destroy a city.
So, in the natural order of things,
it has been decided to preserve the
Enola Gay for posterity.
Right now the plane is sitting in
dusty oblivion on Davis Monthan
field near Tucson, Ariz., and has
nothing about it to suggest any kind
of immortality.
But the Smithsonian institution
has plans to rescue the Enola Gay
and store it in wartime Douglas
DC-4 plant at Orchard airport near
Chicago. 1t will be housed there,
protected from the elements, until
the institutes projected national
air museum can be built.
There are no plans to display the
BIG in Chicago. 1t is a simple
matter of storage, and historic
minded persons may not see the
atom bomb carrier for a decade.

PAY HIKE:
NeaU Formula

When General Motors corporation
averted threatened strike of 1885,
600 auto production workers by Of
fering an 11-cent raise based on a
cost-of-living formula it probably
set a precedent which will be fol-
lowed in settling other industrial
labor disputes.
Under the agreement, described
as an entirely new approach to
the living cost problem" GIN pro-
duction workers get an Scent cost
of-Iving increase and a Scent pay
boost based on annual industrial
efficiency improvement.
Terms provide that wages be ad-
justed up or down each three
months to conform with fluctua-
tons in the consumer price index
OF the bureau of labor statistics.
It appeared to be a sound plan
and one that might be followed to
good advantage by other industries.
Biggest flaw in the scheme was the
fact that General Motors might
have to pass the cost-of-1iving raise
on to the public, which step might
have the eventual effect of nullify-
ing the benefits Of the raise to the
workers.
Significance of this adjustable
eost-of-living wage formula can be
seen in a review of the rise in
prices since 1910. The cost of iv-
ing today is SO per cent higher than
In 1910. Using 1910 as base year
which is what GIN and the United
Auto Workers did in arriving at
their agreement-living costs now
are at 1869 per cent.
Divide 1869 into 100 and the result
10 SO. Those figures, applied to
consumer purchasing power, mean
that o dollar, in terms Of what 1t
will buy. is worth only SO cents to-
day In comparison with what 1t

FAILURE:
No Peace

1t was difficult to say who would
suffer more from the Arabs rejec-
ton Of U. N. truce plea for Pales-
tine - the Arabs themselves, the
Jews or the United Nations.
Probably the Jews came off to
better advantage in the world coun-
ellis of public opinion. inasmuch as
through their willingness to accept
truce they now can appear in the
role of a nation which has been
wronged and is forced to fight a
war that has been thrust willy nilly
upon it.
The Arabs simply brushed aside
the idea of a truce with the con-
tention that they could not halt the
shooting war until the state of Israel
is abandoned and the Jewish army
demobilized. There never was any
question in the minds of Arab lead
ers about the truce. 1t was literal
ly unacceptable to them. Their
position was stated definitively by
the Egyptian premier. Mahmoud
FANNY Nokrashy Pasha. who said:
There never will be founded a
state called Israel, or any other
name, as long as the creation of
that state relies upon the theft of
Arab land. the determination of its
Arab owners and the sacrifice of
moral principles of its Arab neigh
bors."
Nevertheless. the Arab refusal
was a bitter blow to the U. N.
security council. 1t had been or
ganized for the express purpose of
resolving just such disputes as this
one in Palestine.
There was little doubt that the Sc
curity council had been rendered
toothless and impotent on the Pal
estine issue by the U. S. attitude. or
rather lack Of attitude.
What position the United States
would take as an individual nation
with regard to the Palestine war
was not clear either.
At conference with Chain
Weizmann, Israeps president, Pres
ident Truman promised that the
U. S. would provide financial sup
port for Israel in the form Of q
loan of about 100 million dollars.
Further, he limited at the possibility
that unless the Arab states cease
fire the U. S. might provide arms
for the Jews.
Day after the conference. how
ever. Mr.. Truman dismissed Weiz-
mann's plea for a loan as some
thing that could be handled by the
export-import bank, and he COM
pletely ducked the Issue OF raising
the embargo on agras shipments to
