PEARSON FAST ON TIPS

Possibly you do not agree with everything Drew Pearson says in his Washington Merry-Co Round but you must agree that he is fast his tips
 For instance, last Monday, special from the Bell Syndicate Inc. quoted Pearson saying: | Dr. Edwin C. Nourse, Chairman of President Tru- mans Council of Economic Advisers, has rendered his resignation to President Truman effective Nov. l. This is the climax of 3year battle between Nourse and the other two members of the council John Clark and Leon Keyserling, in struggle over |, the role which the council should play in support of the administrations economic program
 Nomse has consistently held that the council should remain aloof from any promotion of the Fair Deal has felt that if the council got into this cam pagn, it's objectivty would be jeopardzed.
 Clark and Keyserling, the other hand, have maintained that it the councils duty to fight for the program outlined by the President Not only is 1t the councils duty advise the President on economic policy they maintain but to push the legislation they recommend
 Presidential Adviser John Steelman has drawn up a list of candidates to replace Dr. Nourse which includes such prominent economists Winfield Riefer Economic Adviser to Chairman of the Federal Reserve Board; Edward Mason Harvard Economist; Calvin Hoover Duke University professor; Theodore Schultz of the University of Chicago; and Dewey Anderson of the Institute of Public Affairs.
 None of the news associations carried any stories about the proposed resignation until Thursday when there was double shot in the Associated Press dis patches to The Empire the first stating that when told that Dr. Edwin G. Nourse, resignlng Chair man of the Economic Advisory Council had said he was unhappy deficit financing, the President said he was just unhappy, as who isn't.
 Then the second item as follows:
 President Truman has accepted the resignation of Presidential Economies Adviser Edwin Nourse with blandly- -worded expression of thanks. Nourse hao been chairman of the threeman council which adVlses MT. Truman on economic matters Notnmg Ill the letter referred to Nourses recent criticism of govern mental policy.
 If mipht also be inferred from the above Pearson snecial and two tR stories that anyone who openly opposes the President goes out

 Begin Soon, Hope

WASHINGTON, Oct. 21. -lR- Senator Magnuson (D-Wash) said yesterday he hopes President will set in motion soon machinery for a joint American Canadian survey of a railroad to Alaska. The Senator said after a White House visit MT. Truman expects to sign next week legislation authori-
 zing the President to negotiate with
 Canada for the survey.
 He told reporter he hopes the President will direct the State De- partment to open negotiations with
 Canada immediately. He said he believes the survey could be com pleted within one year.
 Under study will be proposal to build a 1,40O mile railroad from Prince George, B. C., to connect with the Alaska Railroad. Magnu- son estimated it could be built for $20O, 100000. The Army estimated several years ago the cost would be $112,O00,000.

TRUMAN ON FARM BILL

President Truman hasn't given up on the Grammar farm program, despite the kicking around it re- ceived from Congress. It will defin- itely be the farm plank of the Dem ocratic party's 1850 campaign, Tru- man recently assured National Farmers Union boss Jim Patton. F-kt7s zoe CTtTd i4platform-B-
 The current battle over farm legislation has had at least one good effect" the President told Patton. Tt has served to smoke the boys out into the open. We know how they all stand, including some we expected to support us"
 The President named no names, but obviously referred to Senator Clint Anderson of New Mexico and Senate majority leader Scott Lu- cas of Illinois The latter, though keeping out of the headlines, help ed to lead the fight against the Brannan income-subsidy program in the Senate
 T think it's time we took the whole lair deal program once more to the people-not only the Bran nan farm program and the nomi- nation of Federal Power CommiS- sioner Leland Olds. but everything else Congress has scuttled, advised Patton. After all, it's the people themselves who have been victim ized by this skullduggery."
 Truman agreed.
 "The combination that fought the Olds nomination was about the toughest lobby I've ever seen," he remarked. You're absolutely right.

 lR-Mollie Whitebear wants to go to Hollywood hut the 19-year-old Nome Eskimo girl is afraid to fly

 So she has suggested that Morton
 Tahlor, her Brooklyn Radio Ro- meo,' travel down the Alaska High
 way with her by dog sled. Tahlor now is in Alaska to keep a Saturday night date he made with Mollie by long distance tele- phone as one of the zany stunts on the Truth or Consequences radio show. The bachelor from Brooklyn didn't know he was hook ed up with Nome when he made the date, as instructed.
 Tahlor says he knows nothing about dog teams, except he would hate to deliver mail to a house ! that had a set of 'em. So Mollie has
 offered to do all the driving on the four week trek.

CANADIAN GOUGE

While prices of most British and Canadian goods have come down as result of the pounds devalua- ton, the Canadian newsprint com- panies, which usually operate as a cabal, have flatly decided not to re- duce prices to American newspap- CTS.
 This means that the highest newsprint prices in history will continue.
 It also means that the profits of Canadian newsprint companies will continue at their highest peak, while American newspaper profits are off considerably. Between 1945 and 1948, for instance, Canadian newsprint prices zoomed from $5850 a ton to $l00 per ton, with profits almost trebling.
 Profits of such big companies as Abitibi shot from $10,l01,512 in l945 to $25 5,237,584 in 1948, while Consolidateds profits increased from $1O,539,451 to $25,116,345.
 Meanwhile the operating profits of typical cross section of American newspapers dropped 54 per cent.
 The interesting fact is that when the shoe was on the other foot, the Canadians immediately put it on. In 1946 when the American dollar was begged at $1.l0 as against $1.00 for the Canadian dol lar, the same newsprint companies jumped their prices by exactly ten per cent. But now that the ex- change has been reversed, they re- fuse to drop their prices propor- tionately.
 Note-Of course it was the news papers which yelled loudest for the end of Chester Bowles' OPA an6 the price controls which kept news print at its low l945 price. However it's the small papers representing the backbone of a free press which get hit hardest in the present price gouge.

who later gave T-men affidavits that they never received the checks. Instead Hardy and Davison forged the endorsements, cashed h e checks and deducted this as eX- pense.
 However, when the Treasury and Justice Departments finally caught up with them, the two Virginia asphalt kings appealed to powerful Senator Harry Byrd, plus other Virginia politicians. A series of conferences followed The Jusice Department listened patiently, but stood pat.
 Last July the incometax case Of the two men who gypped their government on war-contract taxes was sent to U. s. District Attorney George Humrickhouse in Richmond for criminal prosecution.
 This writer, querying Humdrick- house in July, was told there would be no delay in prosecuting the Hardy -Davison case. It would come before the first grand jury in July.
 But when MT. Humrickhouse was queried this week, he was evasiye. The autumn grand jury had been in session for some time, but he said he had no immediate plans for presenting the case. In July he had said he was quite familiar with the case. But on Oct. IT, he talked as if it was something he had never heard of and devoutly hoped would be forgotten.
 Note-Mr. HumrickhouSe was ap- pointed to his key job as District Attorney through the powerful Byrd machine of Virginia.

Moscow Wants Showdown-In

Moscow Wants ShOwdOwn-In- telligence reports from the Balkans indicate that Russia plans to in- filtrate Bulgarian, Hungarian, and Rumanian troops into Yugoslavia to start a revolution against Tito. Moscow would then trumpet this to the world as a revolution by Yugoslav patriots and would march across the border A top Ameri-
 can diplomat just returned from the Balkans reports that Moscow is determined to force this show- down soon--partly because it now has the atomic bomb, partly be- cause it is convinced the United States will not fight to defend Yu- goslavia The above facts are chief reason why all American Ambassadors from behind the Iron Curtain countries have been sum- moned to meet in London.

Enders Voorhees,, who really runs U. s. Steel, wouldn't budge.

President Truman was on the
program for an afternoon speech.
Oscar Cans, Cuban Ambassador
to the United States was elected
chairman of the conference yes

he stressed the far-reaching effects
the FAO's policy decisions would
have on the worlds undernour-

failure to gauge the nature Of the
problems attached to the present
food situation might mean a
worsening Of the general economic
disequilibrium existing today"
Dodd Proposal Praised.
DR.. Cans called the proposal Of
Norris E. Dodd, FAC director gen.
eral, for creation of an interna-
tional commodity clearing house
"a very bright effort" to solve q
global economic problem. But he
said he doubted that agreement
on the proposal could be reached
at this conference.
Representatives Of SO nations
are conferring through the FAC
on how to feed the world better,
by routing surplus food into areas
of need and by increasing produc-
ton where 1t now is too small.
Sir Hubert said plans to extend
technical assistance in underde-
veloped areas have been given
added Importance by President
Truman's proposal last January
for such aid.
The deputy director added that
"even If all goes WELL" funds for
an expanded program Of provtd-
ing "know-how" probably will not
be available before the middle OF
next year.
In the meantime, he asked an
FAC committee to make available
100000 for preparatory work.
Scales Down Plan.
Mr.. Dodd scaled down his pro-
posal for setting up an interna-
ttOnal commodity. clearing house.
8 Originally. IL ives proposed that
such an agency be created with
a. SIS, ,000, 100000 capital most Of
which would come from the Unit
ed States. Mr.. Dodd revised this
figure down to 81 1,00o, ,000, 900.
The plan would provide for the
bank TO facilitate transfer Of foods
from surplus to shortage areas.
Whether the scale-down in
financial plans would result in
their acceptance by the United
States remained indefinite. United
States officials have taken cogni-
zar1ce Of what they view as a
growing disinclination Of Con-
gress to vote further large sums
for foreign aid programs.

in addition, these crops are
either plowed under as green
manure or fed back into the
land through animals, the hui
mus content and the crop
growing properties of the soil
are not only maintained but
really increased.
Accordingly, many of the more
alert farmers in each community
are following the practice of uti-
lizing for animal food most of the
crops grown. BY moving their
livestock in rotation around the
farm, there is sufficient distribu-
ton of natural fertilizer to main
tain and increase from year to
year the supply of humus and
produce the vigorous. bacterial
life so necessary for profitable re-
suits.
Of course, not all legumes can
be pastured, since some land must
usually be set aside for hay. When
alfalfa, for example. is used for
this purpose, the soil is not only
rested, but nitrogen and other
food elements are gradually add
ed. On other fields not in the re-
guiar rotation, crops may be al
ternated year by year, including
Eegumes.
