Products from forest, mines and
agricultural lands have pushed Min
nesota to the front in iron ore, but.
ter, barley, flax and clover seed.
The state ranks among the leaders
in production of chickens and tur.
keys, oats, milk, sweet corn, honey,
beeswax and raw furs. 1t ranks
third in livestock and livestock
products, corn, buckwheat and rye.
Beans, peas, wheat, potatoes and
other crops make added wealth anG
income.
In manufactured products, Min.
nesota is fast becoming leader in
the garment field. Other products
are linseed oil, food preparations,
meat packing, flour and feed, cleo
trical goods, malt liquors, paper
and pulp products.
A natural recreation state,
Minnesota's tourist and vaca-
ton business has become its
third biggest industry. Every
year visitors from other states
and from other lands come to
Minnesota in ever increasing
numbers. The land of 10000
lakes (there really are more
than 11,0OO is where beauties
of the earth and air and water
are blended in harmony.
In Minnesota the mighty Missis-
sippi starts as a mere trickle but
becomes a mighty river before it
leaves the state. If you like quiet
cabin on the shore of shady lake,
Minnesota has it. Whether it is a
rugged north woods trip with pack
and canoe or a hammock near the
golf course, Minnesota provides it.
Northerly Outpost.
The most northerly post Office in
the United States is Penasse, MINI.
In fact, the most northerly point in
our vast country is Lake of the
Woods, projection of Minnesota
along the western shore of Lake
Superior. From the Canadian bor-
der to the Iowa line, and from Lake
Superior to the Dakotas, Minnesota
has a variety of scenic, recrea-
tional, historical, industrial and
agricultural sights to see. Yes, Min
nesota is really big, but the splendid
roads and the interesting points
along the way make the journey
pleasant.
With "a lake for every mood"
and stream of every size, Mime
sofa is veritable fsherman's para
disc. Among the fish are muskel-
lunge, trout, large mouth bass,
Graphic, sunfish, Great Northern
pike, wall-eyed pike, perch and
small mouth bass. The muskellunge
gives many sportsman a hard
fight for a half-hour or more, and
the Great Northern pike is dyna-
mite on hook and line! Whether
the fisherman is an expert or
novice, there are fish for him to
catch in Minnesota.
Scenic Attractions.
Some of the states best scenery
has been preserved for public en-
joyment in state parks and in state
and national forests. There are wa
terfalls, rushing streams, placid
lakes, bold canyons and rocky hills.
Among its famous beauty spots are
Lake Itasca, source of the Missis-
sippi; the Dalles of the St. Croix,
and Superior national forest.
minnesota has been richly
blessed with a bountiful share
of natural resources" said Gov.
Luther W. Youngdahl recently,
and added: eve welcome the
opportunity to share our good
fortune with you"
In Minnesota, Paul Bunyan myths
could come true!
Browning chief. [volume] (Browning, Mont.) 1941-1953, 1948-01-02

Minnesota built upon those tall
tales, made most of them come
true, and is today "a Common
wealth of People on the March,"
And in the main, Minnesota people
are descendants of those pioneers
who knew Paul Bunyan. They in
herited from their sturdy progeni-
tors the thrift, the hardwood, the
high purpose and the faith in their
land that has accomplished so much
through the years.
First Settlers.
French explorers first penetrated
what is now Minnesota to establish
forts and trading posts to carry on
an extensive fur trade with the In
dians. Later, control of this trade
passed into the hands of the British,
who dominated the entire region
until after the War of 1872. Fort
Smelling was established in 1919,
and through treaties there were
cessions of land by the Indians to
open the eastern and southern sec
tons to settlement. Territorial gov
eminent was established in l849
with St. Paul as the capital.
Besides American settlers,
there were many Germans who
came to find new homes in
free land. Later came the stur-
dy Swedes. First the southeast
and middle sections of the state
were settled, then the south and
west, and finally the northeast,
still the most sparsely in
habited.
Healthful State.
Aiding the development of Min
nesota is the climate. Seldom, in
deed, do extreme Temperatures pre-
vail for more than a day or two at
time and the state always has
been free from destructive storms.
The rainfall is % inches in the lower
Red river valley, % at the Twin
Cities, Rainy lake or Lake Supe-
rior, and "a inches in southeastern
Minnesota. The elevation of the
state, averaging 1,275 feet, coupled
with its fine drainage and the dry
ness of its atmosphere, especially
in the winter, contribute to make it
one of the most healthful regions in
the world. At the Twin Cities, for
example, the death rate is only 10
per 1000 annually.
Only IL states in the Union are
larger than Minnesota. 1t has 10000
square miles of land and 1900
square miles of water. The state is
partly prairie, but much of it is
rolling hills. Its elevation ranges
from 600 to 1900 feet.
Productive Soil.
Minnesota's chief wealth is its
soil. With the exception of some
rocky land in the northern part,
great deal of which is being re-
served for permanent white pine
forest, there is scarcely any land
that is not productive now. And that
which is not yielding a crop now
will be as soon as it can be reached
with either ditching or clearing.
The prevailing soil is black loan.
The heavier soils produce all the
varieties of grains and grasses. The
sandy soils grow clovers. potatoes.

ChuHenoe in Korea

If hostile words and gestures are to be
taken at anything like their face value,
grave crisis will confront the American
occupied zone of Southern Korea on or
before May 10. That is the date set by
the United Nations Temporary Commis-
sion for the election of delegates to a
legislature which would inaugurate
native government The Commission came
TO this decision after a survey of the
Korean situation, thereby affirming the
recommendation previously made by our
own occupational authorities
This decision, however, encountered the
bitter opposition of Soviet Russia, which
had consistently blocked all efforts to
implement the Russo American agreement
made at the close of the late war to
establish an all-Korean native government
and the restoration of a genuinely inde-
pendent Korea. Instead the Russians have
Sovietized North Korea, set up a puppet
regime and army, and instigated their
agents in South Korea to disrupt the
American zone by systematic sabotage and
intimidation. The Soviet aim is clearly to
force us out of South Korea and then unite
the country in Moscow's own pattern, as
a dependency of the Soviet Union.
When the United Nations Assembly.
against Russian opposition, sent it's Com
mission to Korea, it was boycotted by the
Soviet authorities and refused admission
10 the Russian Zone. 1t could therefore be
predicted that Moscow would take strong
measures to combat the South Korean
elections. Its tactics took the form of a
Soviet-sponsored "All-Korea Joint Political
Conference" which opened last Friday in
Pyongyang, capital of the Russian Zone.
In brand-new auditorium festooned with
Communist banners and graced with
gigantic portrait of the Great Stalin,"
delegates from all North Korean political
parties, plus representatives from anti
American groups in our zone, cheered
fiery speeches and unanimously voted
resolutions pledging resistance to the
South Korean separate elections which
must be opposed and defeated at any
cost" The Conference declares itself pre-
pared to adopt measures to smash the
sinister plottings of American imperialists
to ruin our country and our people" It
likewise endorsed the Soviet Govern
ment's righteous proposal demanding that
foreign troops leave Korea at the earliest
possible date
All this indicates a direct challenge to
both the American occupational author
tiles and the United Nations. And it should
be noted that the Communist campaign
of terrorism and intimidation in South
Korea is already being stepped up by
sabotage, assassinations, and attacks on
native police stations Since there is no
likelihood that the u. N. Commission will

More on Radio in Transit

To the Editor Of The Star:
Just Working Secretary" in a letter to
your paper, questions the legality of the in
stallation of radios in our streetcars and
buses. She states: There surely is some law
against it, or should be-"
Yes, there surely is a law which. with the
proper application of logic and common sense.
does apply to situation of this kind. That
is the law which became effective last Septem-
Der penalizing the sounding of loudspeakers
out of stores In the downtown section, on the
ground that 1t was an imposition on the public
and the neighboring residences. If the people
who move through our downtown streets are
annoyed by such noise, what may be said of
those shut up in crowded streetcars and
buses, who already are subject to almost in
tolerable conditions?
Riding on a Mt Pleasant car the other
day and having to listen to a radio for about
ten minutes got of sooner than necessary
just to get away from it. During the time
had to listen, I heard no music, soft, sweet
or otherwise. but only news, weather reports
and commercials. That will be the general
practice, once they get started. The story
Of the sweet music is only an entering wedge
to obtain the consent of the public.
Installation of radios on streetcars and
buses is violation Of the rights Of the citizen.

A Chance to Aid the Planners

The comprehensive transportation survey
planned by the District Highway Depart
ment in cooperation with Federal, Mary
land and Virginia authorities Is essential
to the orderly development not only of
Washington but of the whole Metropolitan
Area. Since the controlled expansion of
this rapidly growing community is of vital
concern to every resident, the fullest
measure of public cooperation should be
given the undertaking.
There have been numerous similar
studies in the past, but the wartime
changes in population trends, mass trans
portation requirements, traffic and park
ing needs and business progress have
rendered all of the old surveys obsolete.
without up-to-date information on these
matters 1t is impossible to make proper
plans for highway extension, parking
relief, public transportation and the like.
To proceed blindly on the basis of out
moded data is to risk mistakes that would
be costly to the taxpayers and difficult to
correct in the future.
Since every citizen has direct stake in
the future of the area, there should be no
reluctance on the part of any one to
supply the information requested by the
survey staff Not every one will have the
privilege of aiding in this project. Because
of the magnitude of the task of inter-
viewing everybody. only sampling of the
inhabitants will be taken. Thus, only five
per cent Of the householders in the
Metropolitan Area will be visited by the
surveyors in their study of travel habits
of residents. And about two out of three
motorists will be stopped at thirty-four
stations located strategically around the
area in the search for information regard
ing transient travel. Only about 10 per
cent Of the commercial vehicles will be
affected.
The prospects are that all who are
temporarily inconvenienced by this new
traffic survey will be more than compen-
stated for their trouble by the benefits
which ultimately will accrue to them and
TO the public generally. A few minutes
devoted now to assisting in the planning
of Greater Washington will help to save
time, money and trouble a few years
hence.

Free Enterprise Ideal
To the Editor of The Star:


To the Editor of The Star
A letter by Harry Stark, carried in your
columns April 19, has been cause of reflection
on my part for several days, and finally have
concluded that he is rejoicing Uncertainty
not deploring-the similarity of two Com
munist aims and certain straitened cir
cumtances in which American democracy finds
ITSELF
Said circumstances are % the soak the
rich" tax schedules, and (2) the trend towards
increased Government control as we'll as pri-
vate monopoies, with the resultant multiplica-
tion of salaried jobs and destruction Of
independent business. These unfortunate
happenings in the United States believe he
views as accomplishments.
But I wish to point out that the greatness
of the United States is in no small part due
to men of means whose wealth could not
have been accumulated under soak the
rich" program. The John D.. Rockefellers,
father and son, are responsible, through their
endowments, for more, real basic health and
happiness around the world than Communists
could achieve in 600 years, at the rate they
have gone in the last quarter-century. Andrew
Carnegie is forgotten name to some, but
his library buildings, among other benefactions,
still stand throughout the country.
AS for Mr.. Stark's concern over salary levels,
average performance of salaried workers, and
so on, 1t is fairly evident that he overlooks
the fact that careers in small businesses, trad
ing, building, farming, fishing, numbering, and
other free enterprises, as well as the pro-
fessions, are still, thank God, the ideal OF the
vast majority of Americans.

@. Why have the tides in the vicinity of
Stuart, Fla, been running 20 much higher
than usual since last fall? B. r.
A. The Coast and Geodetic Survey says that
records from its primary tide stations show
that, during the period in question, both high
and low waters were somewhat higher than
their seasonal average along the whole South
Atlantic Coast Of this country. This probably
resulted from a rise in sea level in this area
rather than from coastal subsistence. AL the
causes which may contribute to such variations
in the mean level of the sea have not been
evaluated. but differences in prevailing Winds
barometric pressure differences in salinity,
and reflections arising from the oceanic cir
culation may be important factors.
