Taft Vs. Eisenhower On UNIT

 WE HAVE YET to meet the American who would op- pose Senator Tafts argument that this country must maintain air supremacy to be
 Nothing Mr. Taft has said in recent years has found more of us in his corner.
 We cannot agree however, that strong air force and universal military training incompatible. We can- not accept his judgment that the training of future M-Day forces has little military value.
 The weight of evidence is against him. Leaders of Army Navy and Air Force united in their insistence this nation must have trained manpower if it is to de- fend itself They unanimous that universal military training alone supply that manpower.
 The Compton Commission, in its report to the Pres- dent cited six essentials to an intergraed national curity program-a strong, healthy and educated popu aton co-ordinaed intelligence service scientific stockpng, striking air force and universal military training No part of that program, it said, had purpose effect except part of the balanced structure.
 A few years ago, three ground-crew men could keep combat plane in the air Today it takes Is to maintain jet-propelled plane. Those must be trained There must be pool of replacements Only by training them the scale contemplated by the Compton Commission be know that air force ready to meet aggres sion-anywhere, any time.
 Senator Tafts statement followed, quite by coin cidence, by General Eisenhowers final report Once again, the retiring general of the armies that UNIT is essential

Soviet ana ySiS of current American economic trends correct They waiting to what happens next and while waiting are keeping their fingers crossed.
 There can be question whatever that the nfation ary spiral that has had the United States in its grip dur ing recent months has had deleterious effect on the economy of western EurOpe
 High prices for American products which Europe has badly needed has increased the rate at which the tons abroad have had to dig into their dollar
 decline in commodity prices would therefore be welcomed by EurOpe well as by American consum- CTS, helpful development. Nobody be at all sure however, that the present decline is than tenn porary phenomenon, merely recoil before new rise Nor anyone be that deflaon may not get out of hand and set in motion forces that may prove mpos sible to control
 What should not be forgotten, despite the precipous nature of the price decline in commodities is that de- spite this decline prices still mountain high in pre- war terms The reduction in the retail price of bread flour lard soap bacon ham, vegetable shortening eggs butter and beef have only brought those prices back to about where they were last summer.
 The psychological impas of the price drop has far been much greater than the economic. As whole the American people do not quite know whether, in the words of Horace Walpole they ought be ringing bells or wrnging their hands and some doing both.
 It is fair assumption that given the governments economic power prices will not be allowed to fall to- seriously low levels
 Sooner later the price support law would begin to come into play. Pegging is mandatory with respect to twenty major crops, when they fall below parity" prices.
 wore important IS the 1act that baSlcally the factors which, in 1920 and 1929 made for depression lacking this time But this does not take into account the possibly serious effects of a panic.
 More than is imperative for Americans to keep their shirts More than is essential that we re- consider position in the light not merely of our own needs but of the worlds needs Not the least interesting and significant effect of the commodity price drop was that while few members of Congress see in it reason for holding back many who have been hesitant on the subject are beginning to ERP in new and friend Tier light.

the government mostly through a system of "syndicates," which con trol most of his life.
 Theoretically, the economic syn dicate system is very democratic, but in practice control is in the hands of picked personnel, who are closely associated with the Fa- lange party, the only legal party.
 There is a national delegate who is appointed to office. He has a national secretary and four vice secretaries, who are supposed to | be elected, but are actually ap- pointed. These vice secretaries are ncontrol of most aspects of daily life in Spain.
 First there is the vice secretary of social order. He handles the or ganization of all syndicates-and labor relations.
 Second is the vice secretary of economic order, in charge of the agrarian sector, industry and va rious services"
 1 Third is the vice secretary of works, under whom come such problems as recreation, public building, public health and en- couragement of craft development. 1 Finally there is the vice secre- tary of administration, who han dies the problem of operation of 1 Syndicates.
 This all extends clear through the organization, through prov inces, comarcals and local organ izations, which control the indi- vidual workers and employers. | AS the Spanish government sees it, the syndicates are just about mother and father to the people. : They take the place of employers organizations, labor unions, and social groups. The peoples" dele gates to the cortes are chosen through them as we'll.
 There is a syndicate for prac- tically every kind of work, al : though nobody seems to know how many syndicate members there are in. Spain. For economic purposes Spain is divided into twenty-two trades and businesses, each of which has a national syn dicate. Within these syndicates there are three branches-employ- ees, employers and technicians, and each of these elects officers who meet with the others.
 If, in small Spanish town, the employees of printing firm de eide they are not getting proper treatment, they complain to their elected reprsntative. He takes it up wit hthe employers and tech nicians' representatives. It nothing is decided, the problem is turned over to the local social order sec retary, and if he can't decide it he turns it over to state legal author ities.
 Besides this, the national syndi- cates are supposed to have sixty siv representatives in the cortes; one employer, one employee and one technician representing each of the twenty-two national syn dicates.
 There are supposed to be free elections in the local cells. Then there are supposed to be elections among the representatives for To- cal. comarcal, and provincial au- thorities. But according to one

Apricots are here! This favor
lite Washington fruit is once
again at its plumb tangy best,
swinging into the parade of Wash
ington fresh fruit.
Because of their versatile use
and delightful flavor, Washing
ton apricots are favorites with
homemakers for adding a bright
note to canning shelves - as well
as to winter meals.
Best news of all is the ease
with which Washington apricots
may be canned. Either the hot
pack or cold pack boiling water
bath method may be used.

before storing in a cool, dry,

In freezing apricots the syrup
used should be cold, so make it
first and let it chill while you are

No more appropriate season
can be hit upon for getting your
fryers into the freezer locker. Lo-
cal flyers are now at their best
/. mature enough to be meaty
and economical buys. With indi-
cations evident that meat prices
will continue to rise, wise home
makers in Benton County should
consider seriously this opportun-
ity to get plenty Of poultry into
the locker. Fryers next winter can
come into the luxury class as a
main dish and will prove as eco
momical as many other meats
you can serve.
Mr.. Malstrom of the Roza told
me that many Roza housewives
were finding the 2 pound coffee
cans good containers in which to
freeze poultry. I. Fryers can be
packed in 2 pound can covered
with water which will eliminate
locker burn due to drying out of
the bird in the locker. Covering
poultry or fish with liquid does
much to eliminate possible locker
burn since the skin is very tender
on these two items.
