Rash Optimism
Washington Post

Some of the optimism recently expressed by Sec retary Anderson about the improvement in world food supplies seems to be contradicted by report from his own department The March 1 issue of Foreign Crops and Markets discloses that of the first of principal exporting nations the lowest in recent years-123 million short tons, compared with 134 million year ago. Moreover, these figures include the augmented crops just harvested in Argentina and Australia without which the situation would be much worse In other words, the recent improvement in grain supplies elsewhere is more than outweighed by the shorter crops in the United States and Canada
 What these figures emphasize is the imperative need continued caution in of grain To be as far as current conditions be relied an index the prospect for material relief in the world food shortage during the latter half of 1948 But the situation is still touch and go up to June 30. Were it not for Russian grain exports for example several European countries would now be in desperate plight But Russian exports are at best imponderabes which cannot be counted upon Moreover, relatively small amount of grain make "a lot of difference when it comes to the question of holding the line cutting the bread ratons-a problem European nations still may have to decide
 Thus great deal still depends American ex- ports through the balance of the crop yearand any amount of wheat we can ship abroad and above the 450 million bushel minimum goal we have set may have a tremendous influence European stability. Our emphasis still must be grain conservation If false optimism should lead to squanderlng Of grain that in turn prevented from making it possible for Europe to bridge the gap, then we certainly should have nothing to be exuberant about

ANTI-TRUMAN REVOLT
 SEETHES

Democratic Chairman J. Howard McGrath hightailed it up to New York last week in vain attempt to stem the angry outbreak of New York State Democrats against President Trumans renominatlon bid. Inside fact is that McGrath walked into burning holocaust.
 New York City's powerful Dem ocratic organization has been vir- tually riddled by the Wallace for ces, and when McGrath walked into state chairman Paul Fitz- patrick's hotel room, you could have cut the gloom with knife. However, he entreated the boys not to desert the ship. He also scold- ed Congressman Arthur Klein for having denounced the Presidents switch on Palestine.
 You're lucky" replied Klein, that the papers didn't print ev- erything I said about Truman"
 What else did you say?" asked McGrath.
 Klein's reply made it easy to understand why the newspaper censored his remarks.
 At that point ex-Senator James Mead of New York walked into the room.
 When are you going to get that guy off the ticket?" he asked Mc- Grath point bland. We haven't prayer of carrying this state with him on it.
 Mead had just refused to ac- cept Truman appointment as Federal Power Commissioner. McGrath and Democratic pulp licity expert Jack Bedding tried to ease the pressure by pointing out that Truman's St. Patricks Day speech had increased his pres. tige. But the conclave of Demo- crats only laughed.
 Net result of tho meeting was general agreement that nothing Truman can do will possibly save New York for the national ticket New York Democrats have decided hat if Truman is the candidate, they won't even mention his name unless forced to. To tie themselves to Truman politically would be like jumping off Brooklyn Bridge with a ton of rock tied to their feet.
 Note-This week Congressman Klein will call on all Democrats to begin a drive for a new Demo- cratic candidate

NATIVE SERVICE MAKES GALL FOR
 MORE TEACHERS

The annual call of teachers to come to Alaska was again issued today by the Alaska Native Ser vice. Dr. George Dale, ANS Edu- cation Director, said that the Ma tive Service has about 35 teaching openings in 30 Alaska stations this year.
 AS a lure, the Native Service points to the many advantages of teaching at isolated Alaska sta- tions. Dale declared the possibil- ities for amateur photographers, and lovers of outdoors is unlimited.
 Man and wife combinations are preferred. Both of the members may or may not be qualified teach CTS, but ANS can find job to- gether for the two of them, if in- terested.
 Although beginning teachers re- ceive only $2,710 annually, Dale pointed out that opportunities are excellent for saving money on the job because of the isolated loca- tions. Tn addition, he said, only nominal charges are made for liv- ing accommodations. The non teaching member of the family would receive $1,350 annually.
 The salaries include transpor- tation paid to and from Seattle if the applicants remain on the job for at least one year Teaching applicants are required to have four years of college education and to be a graduate.
 The openings are routine and rep resent only about twenty percent oI the ANS teaching staff, Dale said.

He has told Truman that the only thing Stalin, Molotov ct al really understand in the present psychol- ogical war of nerves is that Amer iea means business.

Mr.. Ascough said the members,

The members acted despite the
efforts of two National union repre-
sentatives who urged acceptance of
the agreement, Mr.. Ascough said.
Instead, they voted to discuss a
separate agreement with the COM

The local said the proposed ma
tional agreement contains no
changes from the old contract that
would better working. conditions.
Disapproval also was voiced con-
cerning the wage provisions.
The members said they had not
