WOO WOO:
Wedding

Henry J. Topping clutched his
fourth bride to his flowing necktie
and burbled into her starboard ear:
This is forever"
Lana Turner inclined her fabulous
1y coiffed golden head. beamed a
smile replete with bliss on her third
husband and whispered:
Eyes, darling"
And so they were married-the
Hollywood glamour queen and the
millionaire tinplate heir.
The wedding was simple affair,
distinguished only by such exoti-
cisms as carved ice statuary of the
bride and bridegroom and love birds
kissing, a 50-foot flower trellis,
Holsters flown from Boston, roast
pheasant and caviar. There were no
hummingbirds' tongues and only IA
guests.
Topping was the epitome Of COM
posure throughout the ceremony, but
Miss Turner, giving way to severe
case of nerves, trembled and swayed
like a rose in the south wind as the
Rev. Stewart P. Maclennan pro-
nounced the words man and wife"
1t was great script, perfectly ex-
ecuted. There was just one dis
cordant note, and that was intro
duced by Airline Judge. from whom
Topping lately had been divorced.
''Wait till Bob hits her in the eye,"
she said. ''Wait till she shows UP at
her studio with great big sinner"
Meantime, the Toppinss'- honey
moon was just starting.

up militarily alongside the recently
formed union of western European
nations, and whether the Communist
party should be outlawed in this
country.
They could become decisive issues
in the presidential campaign. In
deed, Harold Stassen already has
introduced one of them by coming
out bluntly in favor Of outlawing
Communists in the U. S.
Vandenberg said, "We are sui
cidal fools if we do not root out and
destroy any treason at home which
may dream of bringing world revolu-
ton to the United States"
The Michigan senator only limited
at U. S. military alliance with
western Europe, but his remarks
hardly could be misconstrued.
What Vandenberg didn't say is that
while the U. S. has no formal or Off
cial role in the union Of western Eu-
ropean nations, American aid and
support, military-Wise, of that union
almost inevitably is implied.
For neither England, France, the
Netherlands, Belgium or Luxem-
bourg, singly or together, could so
much as pretend to oppose military
aggression by Russia. To be effec-
tive at all the union must have the
assurance that it is backed by U. S.
military strength.
Whether or not this nation will
grant that assurance will come to
be towering question in the public
mind soon.

SMASHER:
For atoms

To expand further the constantly
widening fields of atomic research,
a gigantic new cyclotron will be
built at the University of California
at a total cost of nine million dol
lars.
In announcing the project the
atomic energy commission said the
new cyclotron-commonly known as
an atom-sma sher-would be 20 times
more powerful than the 4,90O-ton ma
chine currently in operation at the
Berkeley institution.
David E. Lilienthal, Acc chair
man, provided hint as to the kind
of long range planning for peace the
commission is visualizing when he
said that the new cyclotron "serves
notice to the world that it is the in
tent of the people of the United
States to be pre-eminent in the de-
velopment of fundamental science of
all kinds
Engineering already is under way
on the huge atom-splitter, but it will
take five years before it is COM
p1eted. Conceived as 20 times more
powerful than the most powerful cy-
clotron now operating, 1t will pro-
duce atomic bullets ranging in force
from six billion to 10 billion volts.

FOOD PRICES:
Logical

Not that it makes it any easier
to pay. the grocery bill, but the rea-
sons why food prices are so high
are no mystery.
U. S. has been. channelling food
and resources into foreign countries
at a rate and volume never before
approa ched. Also, every American
able to digest solid food is eating II
per cent more than he did before the
war.
Finally, until just recently, con-
sumers have been spending their
money on food because there was
nothing much else available to buy.
Those conclusions were reached by
University Of Wisconsin economists
after an investigation into the causes
of current high price levels.
Center of the whole spiral are
grain prices.
Strong exports of corn and wheat
caused an upswing in prices on the
commodity markets. More expen-
sive grains cause prices of flour,
bread, ham, pork loin and rib roasts
to 60 up.
In their analysis the Wisconsin
men said, Food prices bring de-
mands for higher wages. Higher
wages increase the price OF most
manufa ctured goods and the price of
all services.
Agricultural products rose faster
than non-farm goods, but now the top
of the farm boom has been passed,
the economists concluded. The farm
er's net in 1913 will be less than
that Of 1947. His prices are falling
but his costs will stay up.
