Can we reduce corn picker ac-

Members of the 200 F. F. A.
chapters in the state believe they
can. The Redwood Chapter, un-
der the leadership of Mr.. EN-
mons, adviser, has been studying
the efficient operation of the
corn picker, and they are deter
mined to eliminate corn picker
accidents in the Claibourne-
Redwood school district.
Here's the plan:
The F. F. A. boys will survey
the community for corn picker
operators. The boys will then
contact each operator, soliciting
his cooperation. A fact sheet, op-
orators guide and decal will be
discussed and left with each op-
orator. The operators guide will
contain information on Eff
ciently Operating the Picker. II

Emergency of Finances

said. Rather, it is one of finances.
The large number of polio cases

it goes into action. "The mere
suspicion of polio is enough to
bring aid and assistance from this
fine organization" he said.
A large portion of the funds
contributed during the emer-
gency drive will pay back money
spent for care fo polio victims
who contracted disease earlier in
the year and who now have re-
covered. Other portions will pay
for the continued care of those
who suffered crippling effects.

For the Birds

Now comes the bold look for men with
Its purple shirts and orange ties. its wild
striped socks and matching hatbands
With the first breath of spring while male
birds were bursting forth in brilliant
plumage and seductive song human males
were told they should burst forth in the
bold look
Although none of the hucksters for the
bold look have mentioned 1t. the principle
behind this recent trend in mems clothing
seems to be that man, like his counterpart
In the bird world should assert himself
as the attractive member of his species
that he should rebel against the drabness
which has confined him since he gave up
satin breeches and lace jabots and that he
should set things back as nature planned
them.
It Is all very well for the cardinal TO
flourish large red crest and rich black
chin ruff while his female companion
remains buffy- gray color, or for the
rose-breasted grosbeak to sport a bright
red bib against his pure white chest leav-
ing his wife to look like brown sparrow.
1t Is all right for the indigo bunting to
be indigo and the purple finch to be pur.
pie while their wives remain nondescript.
But the human male to strive to be more
colorful than the female Is sheer madness.
The birds have managed to outshine
their wives and keep them content with
the plan of superior male attraction, but
man long ago gave up his mastery in this
field. To enter the arena of sartorial at
traction today, men would have to 60 far
before they could match fiower-pot hats,
polka-dot shoes and fiuorescent bathing
suits.
The bold look is outlandish, but it only
takes men half the way since. so far, 1t has
confined itself mainly to accessories and
shirts. To outdress the women would mean
not simply purple shirts but purple suits
and shoes, and perhaps a garland of
flowers around the old felt hat The whole
idea Is absurd and should be left where
1t started-with the birds

HOSPITALITY Costs Money

There is good reason for the larger cam
paign goal set this year by the creater
National Capital Committee. Hospitality
costs n1oney-and Washington's reputation
for hospitality will be put to supreme
test during the Sesquicentennial ceieora-
tion next year. Since the Nations Capital
lacks the official "city greeters" depart
ment which other large cities have, the
Job of welcoming and aiding visitors 1aiis

mittee. That Its responsibilities Will be
greater In a sesquicentennial year Is
obvious.
During each of the two past years the
committee has been able to DO gooo
lob on q budget of $4,000. This year,
however, the group Is asking the business
men of Washington for $4,000, largest
goal in GNCC history. Part OF this increase
will be used to expand two services for the
benefit of Sesquicentennial visitors. These
are the District Information Center and
the Housing Bureau. There Is no other
agency equipped to render this type OF
essential public service.
Furthermore, many organizations Will

The Case of Henry Wallace

The exchange between CHAIRMAN Con
nally and Henry Wallace when the latter
appeared before the Foreign Relations
Committee to oppose the North Atlantic
Pact was not as funny as 1t was intended
to be.
Senator Connally began by saying how
pleased the committee was to nave rs
witness the former Vice President ana
former Secretary of Commerce. Mr.. WAL
lace reminded him that he had also been
Secretary of Agriculture, and Senator
Connally turned to the stenographer and
asked him to include that in the record.
All of this is true enough, OF course,
but it is also true that Mr.. Wallace came
very close to being President OF the United
States, and that, far from being funny,
is O chilling reflection for any one who
listens to the line that Mr.. Wallace Is
following today and has been following
for some time past
His main theme Thursday was that the
Atlantic Pact is not an instrument OF
defense but a military alliance for ag-
gression against Russia. BY Its terms.
and in words that are as clear as words
can be- the pact provides quite the con-
trary. 1t can become operative only In
event of an act of aggression against one
of its members But this means nothing
to MIR. Wallace. When he sets out to argue
his fayorite thesis-that somebody in this
country Che never names narnes) wants to
wage war on Russia--he does not hesitate
to distort words and invent meanings. He
will seize upon any fragment OF truth and
twist it to his own purpose. Thus, ne says
fatty, and without shadow OF proof, that
the State Department--again he names
no names-held up word OF the Russian
offer to lift the Berlin blockade for fear
that If this were known 1t would block
the North Atlantic Treaty. And, again,
he suggests that it was American military
men (no names) who killed the Berlin
settlement that had been agreed upon
last year in Moscow, when all OF the
evidence is that this was done by the
Soviet military commander.
There is nothing to be gained, however,
from arguing with Mr.. wallace, for he is
hopelessly lost in the theological mists that
have engulfed him. But there may be
some advantage in remembering how long
1t took most of us to find this out.
A study of the case history OF Henry
Wallace ought to be rewarding. For more
than twelve years he was powerful figure
in Washington-twice cabinet officer and
once a Vice President. In 1914, at the
Democratic convention, he came danger
ously close to winning the nomination that
would have placed him in the White House
and put this country's destiny in his hands.
Where would we be today II Mr.. Wallace
and not Mr. Truman had become President
of the United States on April II. 1s45?
This is something to think about as our
present officials are weighed in the scales
of public opinion and as we listen to some

Greek Rebel Peace FeeIer

A statement maze by q member OF the
Greek rebel regime is interesting, not
merely In itself, but also because Of the
circumstances under which 1t was given
out
Miltiades Porphyrogenis, cabinet mem
Der OF the Free Democratic Government
Of the Greek Mountains" appeared in
Prague, Czechoslovakia, last Tuesday, and
announced that, under certain conditions,
peace negotiations would be possible with
the "Monarcho-F -Fascists" Of Athens.
This Is not the first time that the Greek
rebels have indicated a willingness to
discuss terms. The difference Is that,
previously, they have demanded a prior
withdrawal of the American mission and
British troops from Greece, together with
other conditions which would have left
the National Government virtually de-
fenseless and were therefore obviously
unacceptable.
This time, the offer seems more reason
able. It suggests the appointment OF
United Nations mediator similar to DR..
Ralph Bunche In the Palestine dispute.
And it suggests new parliamentary elec-
tions supervised by U. N. commission,
provided it be not composed exclusively
of Western representatives, and provided
that an interim regime be set up In Greece
composed of nonpolitical personalities
acceptable to both sides. Mr.. Porphyro-
gems went on to say that he had wired the

reasons behind this seemingly more mod
crate attitude. Recent events do not
indicate that the Greek rebels are
militarily at the end of their resources.
Supplied as they are from bases in Albania,
which gives them sanctuary, they still
seem capable of making plenty OF trouble.
If sheer necessity be ruled out, the
inference is that the maneuver Is political
in character. And we may be very sure
that the move originated, not with the
rebels themselves, but with the COMM
form; which, In turn, is motivated by
Moscow. Indeed. MIR. Porphyrogenis sig
