WAR WITH WEST NOT INEVITABLE;
 WARNING GIVEN
(By the Associated Press)

The Communist world, celebrat- Ing the roth birthday of Prime Minister Joseph Stalin, was told war with the west is not inevitable.
 Communist leadership took the occasion to insist again that Com plunism and capitalism can CO., exist in one world.
 Georgi Malenkov, Deputy Prime Minister and considered a possible successor to Stalin, thumped out the peace keynote in Pravda, the official Communist party organ. The theme often has been raised by Moscow and has been greeted ty the west with extreme caution.
 In harmony with the peace theme, the Supreme Soviet Presi- dium set up new annual interna- tional Stalin peace prizes. The idea seems to rival the Nobel peace rrize which is valued at about S21 ,000. However there will be five

NEW RULES IN BASEBALL
 ANNOUNCED
By JACK HAND

NEW YORK, Dec. 23-tR--Life will he safer for infielders in 1850 if the new baseball rules are en- forced.
 The rules committee officially adopted the new code last night after nine months of strenuous et- fort. The rough stuff around second base came in for plenty of atten- tion.
 Interference hy base runner was interpreted in simple, direct terms that place a heavy burden on the umpire. The ump always had to call interference. but now his attention is directed to the rule in specific wordage.
 "A batter is out when a preced- ing runner shall, in the jndTmPnf of the umpire, interfere with an infielder." tke rule will read.
 That's about the same as in the past. However, c new iaterrTetativt paragraph hrs been aAdad. u gons lisa this:
 The objective Of this rule is tc Lenalize the offensive team for de- liberate, unwarranted and unsports- manlike action by runner in leav- ing the baseline for the obvious purpose of crashing the pivot man on a double play rather than trying to reach his base"
 Shortstops and second basemen who have been hurtled through space by football-minded runners probably will get some relief.

This Years Meat Supply

AS of the early part of March, retail meat prices
in the Chicago area, which are generally typical
Of the country as whole, down an average
of 20 per cent below last summers peak levels
Some popular cuts were down much more-round
steak, for instance, was being offered at 80 per
cent less than at the high point
Supply and demand did that A heavy supply
Of meat came to market, end at the same time
there some slackening in consumer buying.
The meat had to be moved and lower prices were
the inevitable result AS interesting byproduct
of the change, one of the biggest meat packers
took substantial operating loss for 1948
At present, there mas been something of a re-
versa in the trend Of livestock supplies and PRICES
are expected to level out However one need
fear a meat shortage. Last year, the average
American at 146 pounds Of meat. This year, it is
estimated. he will account for 145, made up of so
pounds Of beef 9 pounds Of veal, 72 pounds of
pork and pounds of lamb and mutton. A decline
in available supplies Of beef, veal, lamb and NUT
ton will be made UP by increase in the amount
of pork
The American dining table will continue to carry
its share Of the good things Of life, and meat is
one CT them. The price must pay, when mea-
sured against the average increase in dollar in
come, will be fair and reasonable.

Plenty Of Cars In Czechoslovakis

There's trouble in buying in CZechosla-
vakia, where theautomobie industry has been ma
tionalized and like practically all other enterprises
is run by the state. All you have to do is walk
into an agency and PUNK down the money.
The only catch is the price The available car
two docr sedan, mosts more than 415,OO0 crowns
which is about $500. The sum represents 50
months Of the average workers pay. The car &C
cording TO an AP dispatch, is considerably small
er than the 1888 Chevrolet" If you have ration
permit proving your need for car, other than
desire to own one, you can get it for about $4,000
That is an excellent example of how regtmented
economies, which have abolished all competition
and all free enterprise produce goods for the
people. There is no need to improve quality e.
duce pflces-the customer takes what the govern
ment offers him or does without Absolute mono
poly prevails Only the "elite" class office hold
er has sufficient income or political pull to live
beyond a subsistence level
In TINS country, by contrast, every producer
must face The competition of many other producers
every enc o1 which is out to get more business
This can only be done by pleasing The customer
On the retail level regardless of the kind of goods
lnVoIVeu' tue competition is particularly intense
INTENSE Will every merchant and dealer looking
Tor ne" ways to bring the customers in We get
oettef sooes' anG a more varied selection We get
them AZ price which competition holds to the
lowest possible level. And those goods are within
the reach Oh the millions, not of just the few.

ground floor shops. What would have happened
If the gods of fortune had looked the other way,
IS easily imagined-there might have been an
other tragedy comparable to the Illinois hospital
fire, and the Chicago and Atlanta hotel
catastrOphes.
Do we want to take chance luck being
with us? Do want to work on the theory that
maybe we'll escape unscathed if fire strikes?
That is what millions of us do, and sometimes
it works But when it doesn't work, people die
horribly.
We can't prevent every fire, but the experts
say can prevent the great majority of them.
On the part of the community here must be
modern wcll-enforced building codes, inspections
etc. On the part of the individual there must
be with such obvious causes of fire as
shocking materials heating plants and cleo
hrical equipment. Then we won't be Frusting
j blindiy to luck.

Chalk Another Win

When the House passed the Illinois FEPC bill
last week we colored Americans one more
victory in quet for social political and econ
omical equality
But we must not allow the glory of this tri
umph to intoxcate us to deter the function OF
our civil responsibilities toward winning absol-'
ute Iteration The attic is not yet over it is still
going strong, and the passing Of this bill should
should spur us OH rather than appease our in
sistence upon all our civil liberties. AS loyal
members CT the race and true Americans it
should be our expreed duty to adhere to our de-
termination to win complete freedom.
Some Of us might be inclined to sit back SNUG
in the comfort Of cur commonplace and exclalm:
"Well, at long last we've won the fight for equal
opportunities in employment. Our future IS Sc
cured!"
It isn't by long shot Remember-the FEPC
bill is a law which has been Instituted against
te viii and desire of many people. But now thai
it has been officially decreed-they must COM
ply with its demans.
Our real campaign will cease, and our war will
Terminate only when economical EN- apclpatlon
for the Negro-and minority groups-s the heart
fet desire CT EVERY AMERICAN citizen, and
not that OF those who vote in favor of it, tdone.

Destroying The Highways

Every motorist has personally seen the damage
done 70 our highways by heavy commercial We
hicleS. He has also personally paid part of the
bill for maintenance and repairs through higher
taxes than would have otherwise been necessary
Thomas H. Macdonald, Commissioner of Public
Roads, recently said, eff we accept the principle
that highways are provided to serve the publics
interest whole, PROFESSIONALLY follows that the
cost of building and maintaining them must be
held at the level of true economy This involves the
limitation of axle and wheel loads to those for
which the highways designed: The highway
user does not wish to pay for new highways
to replace those destroyed by excessively heavy
loads :. The heavy truck operator is or should
be, concerned, because most certainly he will be
held accountable for whatever damage these
trucks do :"
What makes this particularly important is the
tendency of states to egalize heavier and heavier
axle loads. Mr. Macdonald, who is one Of the
foremost experts on the subject, is convinced that
be authorized. Yet there has been an alarming
increase in the number of vehicles in use with
heavier loads ranging up to the terrific figure of
29 900 pounds. You don't need engineer to ex-
plain to you what carriers of that weight do when
they pound over our roads.
There has been remarkable growth in the
number ard size of commercial trucks using public
highways Measures which will protect the roads
from excessive deterioration under such traffic
must be adopted to protect all taxpayers from
heavier levie3 for the highway funds.

~; PARALYSIS"
By GEORGE S. BENSON
President OF Hording College
SedrcY. ArkGnsos

On MARCH IA, at the direction
Df one man, our nations coal pro-
iuction was choked off. More than
100000 coal miners were asked to
leave their jobs for two weeks to
be followed by $1,000 railway en-
ployees whose jobs depended upon
transporting coal.
The cause for this paralysis to
large section Of our economy
was not any grievance about
working conditions, pay, pensions,
DR. vacations. 1t appears, however,
to result from personal dislike of
one man for another. In response
TO the presidents appointment
IF DR.. James Boyd as director of
:he us. Bureau Of Mines, John
[. Lewis ordered his United Mine
Workers on a two-weeks layoff.
Excessive WITHIN his field,

! sesses the nearest APP
proach to dictatorial powers Of

scene. He has defied presidents
and congresses, crippled produc-
lion in the face of economic crises,
and f1outed the war effort by
strikes in wartime. BY directly
controlling the output Of basic
Industry, he holds power to
strangle our entire economy with
prolonged strike.
+! With this spite" strike Lewis
has encroached upon two basic
fundamentals Of our democratic
progress: ~ The right of gov
eminent to make appointments
rec Of pressure, and (2) Freedom
% work. This action presents a
zeal danger signal to the Ameri-
IAN public. 1t shows what can
happen when irresponsible leader

'ampage. The implications are
