ever may happen to the Moscow
government.
From the strategic point Of view
Berlin Is . severe headache. But
we are there on the basis Of a
formal agreement and cannot
afford to let such agreements go
by default, simply because Russia
no longer wishes to respect them.
Any sign of weakness on our part,
Western policy farmers say, will in
crease rather than diminish the
likelihood OF immediate war. A
firm attitude conceivably might give
the Red dictators some food for
thought.
Meanwhile. all reports from be-
hind the Iron Curtain indicate that
the u S. S. r. is making preparations
for the final showdown. In recent
months most OF the Ukrainian and
White Russian divisions between
the Elbe and Vistula Rivers have
been replaced by Mongol and other
Asiatic troops, who are far more
hardy and far more ruthless than
the Russians.
Haryests Rushed.
The Russian government Is
pressing its people to rush the mass
harvesting of grain by all available
methods. Since July combine
harvesting has begun in 40 prov
inces, regions and republics. Ac-
cording to q broadcast from Mos
COW:
The U. s. s. r. Ministry of Agricul-
ture has instructed all its organs to
take additional measures (meaning
greater pressure by the political
police for the promptest prepara-
ton of all machines for harvesting
and transport. Strict supervision
is to be made of the harvesting so
that 1t will be completed as soon as
possible without loss at every COL
lective farm"
The broadcast further enumer-
ated dire punishments for all
slackers and "saboteurs," that is to
say all those who may try to put
away a little more than the quota
allotted by the government to all
farm workers.
This is in keeping with the
estimates of a number of American
military men, who have predicted
that the Soviet will not start any,
thing until after the crops have
been completely harvested.
1t is noted that for the first time
since the end Of the war-at time
when the crops are more bounti-
full than at any time in the last
10 years-the Russian government
has adopted such urgent and dras-
tic methods to stockpile its harvest
as soon as possible.

For another thing, they dis

to compromise faded. This was
shown most clearly in the Resolu-
lions Committee where the signifi-
cant conflict of the convention
occurred. The rat race around the
hotel corridors, staged by the pro-
moters Of various impossible or un-
willing substitute candidates, fur
nished the spectacle-a hilarious or
depressing spectacle, according to
your own sympathies-but the i'm

we'll justified, to say that platforms
mean little; that they merely offer
set of promises to the voters to

successful party may choose after

exceptions to this rule. The Demo-

of 1896. for instance, produced q
positive and unequivocal platform

the party earnestly believed. 1t

split the party, but the party lived

Maybe their fears will be justified
The Southern delegations have
been talking tall and it may be that
they are actually prepared to walk
out and organize their own concep-

remains to be seen. The important
thing is that a group of average
delegates, given the responsibility
to make the decision, had the
courage to face their responsibility
regardless of the consequences.
This may not win the election
But it is even more certain that
evasion Of the issues would not win
it. The Democratic Party never
has won when it tried to be the

West and Midwest sectors more
nearly share the interests and as
pirations of the pivotal States than
they do those of Dixie.
Hence yesterdays votes on the
civil rights plank of the platform
in which the big States, the West
and Midwest took the party down
a path which the South swears II
cannot and will not tread.
The winners have risked losing
the solid South on the gamble that
the New Deal programs OF Franklin
Roosevelt are the wave of the future
and will again, If not this year
carry their party to victory.
The dead President shaped this
historic convention.
-Four times he had led his party
to precedent shattering success
with the kind of liberal appeal
represented by the civil rights pro-
gram.

Never once had he needed the II

These are the considerations
which gave the dominant coalition
the courage to renounce, If that

The terms Of their gamble are
simple: How much was the pro-

Only time, plenty of time, can

The first immediate effect is, OF

In the States they control, the re-

against President Truman. It Ger.

capped successor to Roosevelt.

man, who must remain anonymous
for the present, is known for his

ment, his great experience in world
crises and his unique contacts, even

Pushing for Showdown.
Respite the efforts OF the Western
powers to avoid a tragic break, 1t
appears that the U. S. S. r. Is work
ing toward a final showdown. The
rejection by Moscow of the Allied
notes demanding that restrictions
on communications with Berlin be
lifted prior to resumption of dip
lomatic negotiations on peace
treaty for Germany was not unex-
pected.
Some wishful thinkers in WASH
ington believed that repeatedly diff
ficult internal conditions in Russia
and the satellite countries would
make the Kremlin more amenable
to reason.
The opposite appears, however, to
be true. The warmongers in the
Kremlin apparently are convinced
that the hysteria which would be
created by a crusade against the
western capitalist imperialists'
would mend whatever damage has
occurred In the Soviet wall during
the three years of relative peace.

In Berlin are quietly taking neces-
sary steps to have the planes trans

New S4,OW,0W Train
Bedins Runs Friday
By the Assoeiatsd Press

By the tSSoetofeo EVSs3
NEW YORK, Sept. 1.-THE New
York Central puts q new $4,000, 900
display in its front show window
next week.
The railroads front window" is
its famous New York Chicago extra
fare train, the Twentieth Century
Limited. And the new window dress
ing is an array of 80 cleaning new
passenger cars from the shops Of
STANDARD Car Manufacture
ing Co.
They are aimed at maintaining
the prestige of what for 46 years
has been one of the worlds best
known trains.
The first Century" made its ini-
tial run June Is, 1902, on a 20-hour
schedule. Some features Of the
train, which carried 27 westbound
and II eastbound passengers, remain
as fixtures. 1t provided barber serv-
ice on board; 1t also carried prefer
ential mail.
The entire fve-car original train
cost $115 ,0O0-just about the cost of
each new sleeping car about to go
into service.
Here are features of the new cars
for the train which New York Gen.
tral spokesmen say offers "a quiet,
conservative elegance"
For passengers comfort: foam
rubber mattresses: circulating ice
water, in all rooms; private, fully
enclosed toilets in all bedrooms; all
fiuorescent lighting; electro-pneu-
matte brakes and devices to remove
virtually all play in couplings be-
tween the cars. ...,...
For convenience: pneumatically-
operated doors that open at touch;
inter-car dial telephone circuit, per-
mitting passengers to order service
from q distant part Of the train, and
. fu1i-length s4-seat diner whose
completely electrified kitchen is In
an adjoining car.
The club car contains, in addition
to q lounge, q barber-valet shop with
shower facilities, and a train sec
retary's Office.
The new train also boasts the
worlds longest stretch of train radio
telephone service. Over the 435-mile
New York Buffalo section, the Cen
tury" traveller can be connected by
phone with any place in the world
where the operator is on speaking
terms with the Bell System.
Simultaneous christenings will be
held Wednesday in New York and
Chicago. Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower
is to participate in the New York
ceremony. Thursday the trains will
be placed on public exhibition in both
cities. Then, on Friday, the long
gray streamlined cars will serve their
first paying passengers.

promoting better farming such as the
Schlossnagles are doing. They will be
competing with 46 other Garrett
county farmers for the title and
award of County Farming for Bet
ter Living Winner, 1948." The coun-
tvs winning family will be selected
by the Garrett County Farming for
Better Living Council after the COM
peting families turn in their COM
pleted booklets in October. Recog-
milton will be given to the winners at
dinner for all the families who
complete the years project.
Acting on the advice of the Farm
Security supervisor, the County Agri-
cultural agent, the Soil Conservation
technician and others, Mr.. Schloss-
nagle began a recognition program.
He had his farm marked out for con-
tour cultivation. He applied generous
applications of lime and fertilizers to
all crop fields and pasture acres. He
introduced new grasses and clOvers
into his seeding mixtures. He clipped
his pastures at least twice a year.
When the county agent, John Carter,
ran a series of oats variety tests Oh

his farm last year, he was quick to
see that the Clinton variety was what
he wanted to plant, because it did n It
lodge when the heads got heavy with
grain and the yield was better.
As the pastures and crop fields
were improved, an improvement was
made in the dairy herd. The four-cow
held has now increased to % cows
and heifers, five of which are pure
bred Guernseys. BY breeding to the
proven sires in the artificial breeding
cooperative, the herd is building up
fast until all the cattle will soon be
purebred Guernseys.
The new silo built last year is
partly full of grass silage. A new
machinery shed and combination
garage and manure shed is under
construction to hold the large amount
of machinery on hand. The interior
of the cow barn has been completely
realranged and stanchions installed
New poultry houses were built. Nov
about 400 layers and 1000 broilers are
produced annually.

Returns From Tour
of Poultry Area

w. Blair Simmons, owner Of the
Grange Supply Center, Mt. Lake
Park. returned from a tour Of several
days through the poultry sections OF
Eastern Pennsylvania, New Jersey,
Delaware and the Eastern Shore of
Maryland Pete Lohr, Deer Park, ac-
companied him. They report seeing
thousands of white leghorns in Penn
sylvania and New Jersey and some
very fine poultry farms and hatcher
les.
In Delaware and the Eastern Shore
most everyone seems to be raising
broilers. Many houses are several
hundred feet long. As many as 10000
birds are cared for by one man.
Their broilers are sold at around II
weeks old when they average B. 3A
pounds each. The price is SO to 4Oc
per pound. Replacement chicks are
scarce with growers waiting 3 or
weeks for delivery.
An enjoyable visit was had at the
Indian River Breeding Farm and
Hatchery in Delaware. This is the
home of the new breed known as the
Delaware New Hampshire hens are
mated with the Delaware males to
get light feathered broiler chick.
Some outstanding results are achieved
with this new cross.
Mr.. Simmons believes that con-
ditions are more favorable in Garrett
County for broiler production than in
the areas visited. Extreme heat and
high humidity often cause the Shore
poultrymen severe losses as well as
retarding fast growth.
Large. quantities of Matching eggs
are trucked in to the hatcheries from
the New England states at prices as
high as SIPS per dozen. Garrett
County poultrymen could take ad-
vantage of their market with some
cooperative action. New Hampshire
and Crosses are the kind in demand.
The poultry business seems to be a
very profitable enterprise throughout
the sections visited, judging from the
appearance of homes and farms.

1t would be hard to convince the
CLARK Schlossnagle family, whose
"Chic-Dair" farm is in the Hoyes
community in Garrett county near
Fliendsville, that good farming does
not pay. There is money in farming
and they have proof of it.
About nine years ago Mr.. and Mrs.
Schlossnagle and their young son
moved to their newly purchased 80
acre farm. With the aid of a Farm
Security Administration they had the
farm paid for in five years. Today
there is evidence of prosperity. The
buildings are well-painted, two new
buildings are under construction; a
silo was built last year. and the fields
are laid out in a systematic arrange
ment of alternate contour bands of
grass and grain.
The Schlossnagles were among the
first farm families to enroll in the
Farming for Better Living contest
when it was initiated in Garrett
county last spring by group of in
terested agricultural workers, civic
club representatives and progressive
business leaders for the purpose of
