RESENTMENT AGAINST HIGH PRICES
(ROcky Mountain NeWS)

(Rocky Mountain NeWs)
 There is quiet movement afoot among COngreSSmen to tackle the high cost of living next January by short enng the props under farm prices next year. instead of waiting until 1850 when the socalled Aiken Plan goes into effect according to the Wall Street Journal
 Under the plan proposed by Senator George D. Aiken RVt) series of flexible price supports would be set up, ranging generally from 60 to 90 per cent of parity depending the supply of particular crop The pres ent support level is mandatory 90 per cent for most important crops.
 It is evident that the government stands to lose millions of dollars this year and next by supporting farm prces-and keeping the cost of living high.
 An estimated 15 million dollars will be spent bolster ing this years egg crop and several times that amount will be eaten up by the potato-support program Hun dreds of millions will be tied up in loans wheat, corn and cotton which could turn into big losses for the tax payers.
 President Truman did not submit this problem to the special session of Congress, and there dspos ton the part of Congressional leaders tackle it on their own initiative The reason of course was that both the Democrats and Republicans were courtng the farm vote.
 But there to be chance for some remedial ac- ton in January since farm organization lead becoming concerned They fear that the reaction against high prices may result in the loss of of the governmental gains farmers have made in recent years.
 It may be recalled that organized labor got out of hand and had to be brought under control The organ zed farmers have high priority for the next major op eration.

A NEW BALANCE OF FEAR" IS WHAT WE NEED
 (The Denver Post)
 When Hector McNeil British delegate told the United Nations the western powers would keep their atomic because we all fear Russia he put his finger the key to the European crisis.
 But what is this fear? Why should the 270 million highly civilized and technically proficient people of western Europe and the 150 million equally civilized and talented people of America fear Russia? With sklls immense industry and particularly with the high development of our military science, surely not afraid of defeat
 No, are not so much afraid of losing war to an opponent whose science and technical energies shackled by despotic system of government. What afraid of is war itself.
 Only the Japanese of Hiroshima and NagaSaki know so well do holders of the atomic bomb the terrible fury of an atomic In such war, with out bomb stockpile and with vast atomic industry, would hold the blue chips.
 But, even if the atomic bomb is actually an absolute weapon-one which would end war against an "atom- less enemy in few months time-such a conflict would be unspeakably horrible More than three years after Conventional war; still seeking to- re- pair the human social and material wreckage We know that the damage of an atomic would be immeasurz ably greater We know that the victors would be losers
 We don't want war And especially the people of Eu- rope, whose home cities would be the keliest atomic battle-ground, don't want There lies the fearful d- lenma of the western peoples
 For while we have this deep aversion to blood shed and terror, even though confident of strength if should this feeling does not appear to be shared by enemy in the "cod war" Russia, png provocation upon provocaton, acts lessly indifferent to the consequences.
 The Berlin blockade and the aerial heckling of lifeline planes by the Russians not the acts of try which wishes to avoid This is what us: This machinelike imperviousness of the Kremln to prospect which fills the rest of the world with the deep est foreboding.
 It raises variety of questions Does Stalin for exam ple judge that fear of is such that will to crate unceasng parade of aggressons Does he think Russia and her foreign fifth columns strong that they safely face the possibility of if by some miscaculaton he should step too far? Or is San actu ally seeking to provoke us into war?
 These grave possibilities, and must be taken into account in the development of western policy They in vove at bottom two things First, aversion to war second, serious misudgment of our position by Russia.
 We have protested to the Russians their repeated vio laons of other peoples rights and have warned them of the limit to patience This apparently has been unavang. We must take far stronger action and for fo1, in

Peter had blasted about three
O'Clock, and it would have taken
at least fifteen minutes for the
powder smoke to clear out. The
air was clear now. How much
time did he have before the gen.
eral underground blasting began
at 3:45? Right now, all over the
mine they might be lighting fuses
that would shake the earth, fill
the mine with powder smoke and
sulphur fumes that could choke
a man to death in a matter of
minutes.
Panic brushed along his spine.

gases came, this time there'd be
no escape.

Peter grinned and leaned against
the wall near the edge. "Scared?"
Resentment rose in Dan. He
turned slowly. Ten feet Of fuse

Not yet - not
A sudden sharp, deafening vham
reverberated through the stope.
The tunnel floor trembled. The
mist and cigarette smoke danced
between them. Then unexpected
thunder cracked beneath their
feet. Dan knew he was falling. He
heard Peter scream. Then he
knew nothing. :.
Pain licked at his head. Some
thing tore at his middle. His crop
ing fingers found the smooth leath-
er of his safety belt, then the
rough, wet hempen rope. Duly he
realized he must be hanging some
where down the sidewall.
'PErERr His voice was a croak.
The only sound that answered
was the slow. spaced drip of water.
Peter had no rope. Dams stom-
ach suddenly revolted, and he was
sick.
There was glow in the dark
ness just below him. Hands trem-
bling, he pulled in on his lamp
cord.
At least he had a light. He
found niche and dug his toes in
to ease his waist, then shone the
light around. There was no ladder.

He'd have to climb the rope. He
hooked the lamp onto the bib of
his overalls, and looked upwards.
The groan came just as he was
beginning to climb. For a second
it paralyzed him. Then he dug his
toes back into the niche and
swung the light around again.
Dimly, through the mist, he saw
a ledge about ten feet to one side,
and higher than himself. Peter
was sprawled half on, half off it.
The groan came again, and Dan
knew he'd have to climb out for
help.
Suddenly he paused, shifted the
air. His fingers darted to his watch.

His watch was a mess of broken
glass and tangled springs. How
