RECORD BUDGET:
Asked of Congress

Asked OF Congress
President Truman, presenting
proposal for the largest peacetime
budget in u. S. history to the con-
gress. was greeted with the ex-
pected reaction. Democrats ap-
plaud e d, Republicans instantly
demanded deep slashes in recon-
mended outlay. It became evident
quickly that the fight on adoption
of the budget would be carried out
strictly along party lines.
THE PRESIDENT declared 1t
would take Al billion, 858 million
dollars to run the government right
for the next year. And the punch
line was that half of every Amer
lean tax dollar would be spent to
hold back the Communist tide in
the world.
On party line basis, approval OF
the budget was assured, assuming,
of course, that the Democrats hold
fast. The President has a comfor-
table majority in both houses and
there should be no difficulty in get
ting his proposal adopted.
But the Al billion-plus figure
wasn't all Mr.. Truman served no.
tice he will ask more funds later
TO supply arms to non-Communist
nations, a step which would push
the budget even higher.
THE ONLY possible bar to ap-
proval of the Truman budget was
public reaction to the plan to finance
with so cents of every American
dollar anti-Red activities abroad.
Would the people 60 along with
American foreign policy and the
theories of policy-makers that such
"a step was the only answer to Com
Enunist menace? Apparently the
President is confident, because Of
his victory at the polls, that the
people will support him in such a
move and thus showed no hesitancy
dn his budget proposals nor in
making his declaration that he
plans to call upon the American
people for even more money to
stem the Communist tide.
Already thoughts are turning to
the 1850 congressional elections and
eongressmen whose senses were not
completely lulled by the 1948 Demo-
cratic sweep, may want to sound
out public sentiment on the huge
expenditure program. If that is the
case, public opinion may be the
final factor in its adoption.

DESTRUCTION:
Nothing to Chance

Destruction would be certain q.
there would be nothing left to
chance if military scientists per-
feet their newest idea Of q guided
missile. This would be no ''ordi-
nary" guided missile.
That's no fantastic dream Of the
men who plan the weapons of war.
A hint of it's imminence was con-
tanned in glossary of guided
missile terms" made public by the
federal research and development
board.
The glossary's reference to the
subject was terse, saying merely
this:
Guidance, homing, active-A
system of honing guidance where
in the source, for Illuminating the
target, and the receiver are carried
within the missile"
Here was the general idea:
A guided missile Git could be a
rocket or merely a pilotless plane)
is fitted with television set and q
picture Of the intended target-per-
haps an aerial photograph of a city.
The missile is launched in the gen.
eral direction Of the target. When
it arrives at point when the
pattern of the picture matches what
its television ''eye" sees, the
missile 'homes in on the target.
That's an cver-simplified de.
scription because thousands of com.
plex electronic actuating computing
devices must make instantaneous
and accurate reckonings; link the
"eye" and the brain" of the
missile to its controls, and relay
back to the base from which the
missile was launched information
! on where it is and what it Sees"
Mans ingenuity in developing de-
structive devices apparently has
| not yet reached its zenith. When /,
does, those who fear mans ultimate
destruction by his own hand may
not be altogether given over to NOR.

LONGER LIFE:
Science Has Ken

OCtCItCO IL UO my
If parents would insure long lives
for their progeny, they must marry
young.
DIR. A. I. LANSING Of the Wash
ington university school Of medi-
cine, St. Louis, reported to the
Chronological society Of New York
the discovery of mysterious
chemical, called x, which seems to
time how fast a human being grows
old. "X'' is something that parents
transmit to their offspring and it
is set like a clock, either for long
or short life.
The age clock was found in
rotifiers, but a little human evil
dence was cited. Rotifiers are
microscopic water bugs. swimming
with long lashes that make them
look like whirling dervishes. The
setting of the X-clock in ro-
tifiers depend on how early they
mated.
1T APPEARS, DR.. Lansing stated,
that the amount Of x stuff in a
fertilized egg sets the clock. When
there is little x, the rotifier lives
long. AS parents get older. the eggs
contain more x and life is shorter.
He also said that the mysterious
stuff also regulates growth-as the
volume of x increases, growth stops.
The human Evidence is indirect.
DR.. Lansing said. A study by DR..
Louis Dublin, showed tendency
for children of young parents to
live longer than those born later.
And, it must be remembered,
humans come from eggs.

PALESTINE:
Toll And Trouble

The British lion was roaring at
gnat.
In a prepared statement, the Eng
ish government declared that Pal
estine developments are "gravely
threatening world peace"
Coupled with the dither was re-
port that Ernest Bevin, British
foreign secretary. had offered to
resign because of his Palestine
policy and that Prime Minister
Attlee had refused to accept the
resignation.
THIS WAS instantly and emphat-
ically denied.
All these developments came as
Israel formally filed with the u. N.
security council at Lake Success a
complaint that the British were TO-
menting an artificial crisis" over
Palestine by troop movements and
various actions just as negotiations
were about to open with Egypt.
The British foreign office state
ment warned that the security coun-
Gil has been losing control over
events" and said it had reason to
fear new Jewish violations of the
cease-fire orders in the Holy Land.
Meanwhile, critics of British pol
icy in the Middle East prepared to
demand that Secretary Bevin ex-
plain how it happened that five RAF
planes were shot down by the Is
raelis near the Palestine border.
Britain's air ministry asserted all
five planes were shot down while
flying over Egypt.
TT COULD NOT be denied that
the situation was difficult. Broken
down to its basic essentials. it is a
condition where one people must,
or have been told they must, give
way to the infiltration Of another
people-the Jews moving into Pales-
tine and the Holy Land area, the
Arabs moving out. 1t has never
been a secret that British sym.
pathies, for whatever reason, lie
with the Arabs and John Bull looks
with jaundiced eye on the partition
action and the influx of the Jews.
But the United States and some
other nations have sided with the
movement to return the Jews to
their homeland.
It may yet require organization Of
a United Nations police force to
settle the affair, but how that might
be done without British cooperation
is an even weightier problem.

ACHESON:
Should Make 1t

General belief was that Dean
Acheson would be confirmed by the
senate as secretary of state. Named
by President Truman to succeed
resigned George c. Marshall, Ache
son is certain to be taken over the
hurdles in public hearings on his
appointment.
Protege of Justice Felix Frank
furter and former intimate and en-
ploye of Franklin D. Roosevelt, in
innate with and former employer
of Alger Hiss and a law partner of
Donald Hiss, Acheson must inevita-
bly, be reminded of these facts by
some of hts interrogators.
On the other hand, he can point
to a long and distinguished record
of public service in which his loyal
ties have never been questioned.
But in view of the current spy hunt
in Washington and Acheson's con-
nection with some of its principal
figures, it would be little less than
miracle if his appointment were to
60 unqueStioned.
According to the record, Acheson
began his state department career
with an attitude sympathetic to
Russia-that is, to the extent that
he believed the United States should
do everything possible to get along
with the Russians. But, since Yalta
and Potsdam, observers report that
attitude has changed and he is now
one of the most determined anti
appeasers.
The ghost Of Franklin Roosevelt
will walk and the echoes Of the
Yalta and Potsdam parleys will
rustic as the Acheson hearings
progress.

CHAIN STORES:
Food Dollar Chart

Despite the prevalence of many
convictions to the contrary, con-
sumers who lay a dollar down on
the counter of chain food store
gets food that costs the chain All
average of 83 cents.
This leaves II cents to the chain
with which it must pay all its in
cidental expenses and 10 cents of
this. or about three fifths, goes out
in wages to employees of the chain.
IN PAYING II cents to the chain
the customer thus lays out that
amount for the chains combined
wholesale and retail services. After
the 10 cents goes to employees, the
remainder is alocated in this man.
ner: one and a half cents for rent
and maintenance; two cents for
warehousing and carriage; a little
over one cent for shrinkage, spoil
age and theft, and one-half cent for
advertising. This leaves from one
to one and half cents net profit
to the chain, less income taxes of
one-half to one cent.
These figures were developed in
the latest in series of price studies
by the family economics bureau of
the Northwestern National Life In
surance company.
The survey disclosed snat in
dividual markups vary widely, of
course, within the store, being
much higher than the general II
per cent average on periShable
items like fresh fruits and vegeta-
bles, and much lower than everage
on very competitive staples like
sugar.
ACCORDING TO the study result,
the average food chain markup be-
fore the war was 221z cents-a third
greater than today. Today's far
greater dollar volume per store,
and therefore per employe, is main
ly responsible for the lower han
ding costs per dollar Of sales.
Should either prices or total vol
ume shrink materially, however,
the cent or so profit margin per
dollar would vanish rather quickly
and ''red ink" would take its place.
Before the war. the farmer re-
ceived an average of 40 cents of the
consumers food dollar and 60 cents
went for processing, canning, ship
ping, wholesaling and retaining. To-
day the farmer gets So cents per
dollar and Al cents covers all the
various steps in processing and dis
tribution.

ist party organ of France to hail the
administration program as definite
ly socialistic. Most of the rest of
the French press took about the
same view, even to the somewhat
lonely, pro-capitalistic Figaro which
said the message was "close" to
socialism.
The same view was taken by the
left-wing press in other European
countries-Qm not counting the
Communists who merely rang the
old propaganda changes). However,
the independent M nc h e S t r
Guardian, long known as the rock
of liberalism and likewise as an
outstanding voice in British jour-
nalism, took different tone. The
Guardian always has been exceed
ingly we'll informed concerning the
United States and probably under
stands America as well as any
foreign newspaper. 1t said:
''Mr. Truman'S program is an
indication that socialism is not
the only path for the left. Its
goal might be called the insur-
ance state. Its method the de-
liberate shortening of the odds
against the weak. But without
abandoning the basically in
dividualist way of life which is
accepted as characteristically
American"
Comment from the extreme right
in this country, in congress and out,
chose to see Skipper Truman chart
ing a course for the Ship of State
which veered far to the left of cen
ter, in fact headed straight for the
rocks on which free enterprise, in
dividual initiative. in fact all phases
of capitalism, would be sunk with
out trace.
That, however, was not the opin-
ion of the majority Of the Repub-
lican party, and, already signs are
showing that it isn't the intention of
the majority of the Democrats to let
such a catastrophe overtake us,
even if they think the Skipper would
be willing to risk it, which they
don't believe he is.
The alarmists point to the rather
startling suggestion on the part of
the President that the government
study production with view is
offering loans to the steel, and other
industries for expansion of plants
and increased production.
If the companies refuse to Co
operate, it was suggested the
government-owned steel plants
would be erected. That does
sound like a long step toward
naturalization of industry. But
other observers, both those who
consider the idea fatal to free
enterprise and those who be-
ieve in such gOvernment-run
ventures as the Tennessee Val
ley Authority, consider it more
of threat than a promise.
In that connection the recent con-
troversy behind the iron curtain
which has finally leaked cut in
specific and detailed form is inter-
esting. One document consists of
reports of three-day conference
of Soviet economists held last May,
the other is study of Russian
economy during World War II, by
a member of the all-powerful polit-
buro. Both documents attack the
theories of Eugene Varga, interna-
tionally known Russian economist
and former director of the World
Institute of Economics in Moscow.

WHY DO EGGS HAVE

might suggest that they r getting
green feed which belongs to the
mustard family, such as water cress,
fan weed or mustard.
If this occurs when the birds are
housed, then the only thing that I
can think of, is that there are seeds
of some of this mustard family IA
the grain which you are feeding.
The only other thing which might
cause favored OF smelly eggs is that
you are using some sort of a fly

a musty odor in the house. There are

WHEAT - Prices probably will
work slightly higher in late fall and
early winter. Sales by producers
probably will remain light. Gov

ment countries has been taken thus
far. Mill buying probably will be
substantial.
Any further advance is likely to
be small, however. Selling by pro-
ducers holding wheat without a loan
viii increase as prices rise. Export
buying probably will remain consid-
erably below the rate needed to
reach the early season goal of 49,
000, 600 bushels.
D~evaluation has given Canada
and Australia an advantage in sup
plying foreign flour markets. For
eign needs are much less acute than
IN the last two seasons. Selling at
least part of ones holdings appears
advisable whenever prices equal to
the loan value and storage payment
can be obtained.
SEEDS-With aggregate supplies
of grass and legume forage seeds
rather light, prices probably will be
mainly steady in late fall at current
high levels. Growers with surplus
stocks probably can safely hold for
q while. Dealers are reluctant TO
build up stocks of some seeds be-
of high prices, however, and
advances may be small.
DAIRY PRODUCTS - Any fur
Their seasonal gain In prices in the
next month or two will be quite
small. Production is not declining
as rapidly as usual during the fall,
due to heavy feeding and close selec-
ton of COWS and good pastures in
some leading dairy districts.
EGGS-Prices are starting a sea-
sonal decline which probably will
continue irregularly until late win
ter. Top quality eggs are still scarce
but medium and small egg supplies
are plentiful at present prices. AS
supplies increase, lower prices will
be necessary to move them into con
sumption.
Farmers had slightly more layer:

POULTRY-Prices probably viii
remain near recent levels for thu

farm chickens probably will begin
TO decline, but output of commercial
broilers will increase after declining
for several months. While the chick

TO operate profitably.
Turkey supplies will increase rap
