FARM SURPLUS:
May Hasten Subsidy

The Administrations farm eX-
perts weren't being too subtle in
movement to hasten payment of
direct subsidies to farmers. They
were pointing out in the capital
that an over-supply of pork and
milk expected within the next two
months, may require President
Truman to ask immediate authority
for such action.
SEC RETARY Y of Agriculture
Brannan said he already had dis
cussed such a proposal with the
President. At the present time the
government is committed to sup
port prices of those commodities
by buying any surplus and taking
it off the market. This is supposed
to keep the retail price up.
Farm legislation passed by the
Both congress authorized direct pay
ments to farmers for pork and
milk, but this law does not go into
effect until January /, 1850.
Meanwhile, the agriculture secre-
tary said consumer prices on pork
and milk probably would fall if the
ADMINISTRATION was allowed to make
lirect subsidy payments to produ-
GERS.
DESPITE much sentiment to the
contrary, Brannan said his depart
ment has had a ''quite favorable"
reaction to the proposed farm pro-
gram which, briefly, would let farm
products find their own price level
through supply and demand, with
the government paying the farmer
the difference in this and the sup
port price in cash.
Congressional critics of the farm
program declare it's cost will run
into billions of dollars and that it
will benefit neither the farmer nor
the taxpayer, because, in the end,
the farmer and the taxpayer will be
paying additional taxes to finance
the program.

AID BILL:
Has Truman Okoy

/ A bill to give 5.58 billion dollars to
the European recovery program
over the next Is months-with one
billion available at once-Was
signed by President Truman.
MR.. TRUMAN, as is a quaint
capital custom in such matters,
signed the bill with several pens

himself, was moved to observe jest
ingly that ''this will probably look
like a forgery, but it really isn't
The bill which Mr.. Truman signed
allots more than one-eighth of the
entire budget of the United States
to foreign aid.
Mr.. Truman, ever a meticulous
man, carefully wiped the points OF
the pens, handed one each to seven
witnesses to the signing, and kept
one for Sen. Arthur Vandenberg,
who was unable to attend.
THERE WAS a check and bal
ance in the bill, however. With the
billion dollars to be made available
at once, aid could be kept flowing
to the Marshall plan countries OF
western Europe until congress votes

|CANCER:
| Progress Seen

The men in white who wage an
unceasing battle against cancer
caught a glimmer of hope-they
felt sure they had discovered, as
they put it, "what is for all prac-
teal purposes a simple, cheap and
reasonably sure blood test for can
GER"
THE ANNOUNCEMENT was
made with the customary caution
and restraint of the y11en who work
with test tubes-''reasonably sure"
was how they described the test.
But if they had made such a dis
covery, it was a great stride for
ward toward victory over the terri
BILE disease.
According to the announcement,
comparative studies at the Uni
versity of Chicago of the blood
serum Of cancer patients and nor
NAL and other non-cancerouS indi-
viduals had revealed significant
differences that led to the state
ment Of the new cancer blood test.
Report of the university findings
was made by Professor Charles B.
Higgins, who 10 years ago origi-
mated a new treatment for pros
tatic cancer which has kept more
than 25 per cent Of the victims
alive and well for more than eight
years.
DISCUSSING the new test, he
said that tests on almost 300 indi-
viduals-equally divided into cancer
patients, apparently healthy per-
sons, and patients with non-cancer-
Gus diseases-proved positive for
all cancer c9es, negative for all
normal persons and negative for all
others tested, except those with
lung tuberculosis and massive
acute infections.
Inasmuch as tuberculosis and in
flammatory processes can be read
lily diagnosed, it was explained, the
test was not expected to confound
cancer with other conditions.

Rural Housing Off

According to Senator Fear 3D.,
DELI some of the nations worst
housing conditions still exist in
rural areas-a conclusion familiar
already to many, many Americans.
The senator's statement was made
during a hearing by a senate COM
mittee on the multi-billion-dollar
housing bill pending in congress.
There has been little talk of rural
needs in discussion of the housing
problem to date, although that need
is as pressing, almost, as any other.

OASI COST:
In Billions

American taxpayers in covered
employment would have to dig into
their pockets to the tune of 3.75
billion dollars by 1855 to finance old
age and survivors insurance under
the proposals advanced by Presi:
dent Truman and his administra-
ton.
BY THE YEAR 2,000-when the
program is expected to hit its peak
the proposed cost would have
mounted to approximately 13 bill
lion dollars.
This estimate, made by the Re-
search Council for Economic Sc
curity, Chicago, is based on re-
port from the advisory council on
social security to the 80th congress.
Of labor force of over go mil
lion, OASI now covers about 35
million, or roughly three out of five
jobs. Coverage is now limited to
persons employed in industry and
commerce. It is proposed that the
system be extended to cover the
entire labor force.
In presenting both sides of the
question, the councils report in
-cludes full page of pros and cons.
Each side might be summarized
as follows:
ON THE ONE HAND, if en-
ployees of commerce and industry
are entitled to this protection, why
not employees on the farm and in
the household? If the goal of the
system is to provide even mini
mum of subsistence, benefits must
be raised now to keep in step with
living costs. An adequate OASI
system will reduce substantially the
heavy burden of old age assistance.
On the other hand, opponents of
the proposed extension point out
that of those excluded, the majority
are either protected by other
systems or are able to provide for
themselves, while the lowest in
come classes are employed too
irregularly to earn insured status
under any program. If the cost of
living is valid reason for raising
benefits now, then logically the
whole system should be geared to
the cost of living, fluctuating down
as well as up. The bigger the
system, the better the promises of
bigger and better pensions.

CHURCHMEN:
UN Asks Facts

The United Nations wasn't heed
ing protests of Hungary and Bull
garia against its consideration of
the trials of Cardinal Mindszenty
and Protestant churchmen. Instead,
the UN invited the two Soviet
satellite countries to tell their
stories of the Imprisonment of the
Cardinal and other clergymen.
THE RUSSIAN delegation indi-
Gated the two nations would disre-
gard the invitation, since both Hun
gary and Bulgaria have contended
the trials were internal matters and
no business of the UN.
The world organization, however,
voted 30 to Z to put the church
cases on its agenda and to go on
with a full discussion of them.
u. S. delegate Benjamin v. Cohen
argued the committee should delay
inviting any nations or churches to
send spokesmen until it decides
how it wants to deal with the ques-
ton.
Russia's Jacob A. Malik indi-
Gated the two Russian satellites
would reject such an invitation and
accused Bolivia Of violating the UN
charter by seeking to invite re-
igious organizations.
To the casual observer, the entire
matter was even less than tenn
pest in tea pot. Whatever the UN
might find as result of rehashing
the convictions Of the churchmen-
what could UN do about it? The
force of UN in world peace reten.
ton efforts has been so meager as
to cause critics to begin comparing
it already with the old League OF
Nations which died of impotency.

Men Who Found Kathy
Remembered by Mail

The men who dug for little
Kathy Fiscus, 3-year old who
died in a California well shaft,
were being remembered all
over the nation.
More than 1900 letters had
been received by the Kathy Fis-
Gus rescue fund from virtually
every state in the union. Mayor
Clark E. Bell, San MarinO,
chairman of the fund committee,
said the first envelopes opened
contained $1,020-an average
contribution of $50.
Donations ranged from 10
cents to $50. 1t was pointed out
that If the average continued, it
would mean total of more than
$1,000 for the men who worked
for So hours to reach the child
who fell to her death 81 feet
down the well pipe.

BOND DRIVE:
Plan for Security

Kickoff speaker at the opening
of the Opportunity Bond Drive" !"
in which the government hopes to
sell one billion, 40 million dollars
worth of us. savings bonds to it's
people, President Truman keyed
his remarks to the need for nation
al security.
HE PICTURED the bond drive as
providing another opportunity for
purchasers to assure security for
themselves and their country.
Among other things, the President
said:
1--WE know that we cannot have a
sound and secure nation unless Sc
curity is the common possession of
our people. Farmer, factory work.
er, banker, merchant, school teach
er, housewife-all are buying Sc
curity for themselves and each
other when they buy savings
bonds"
He added that ''every bond they
have bought has given them much
more reason to feel secure about
the future-their own and their
country's."
THE PRESIDENT said the kick
off dinner was to honor three mil
lion volunteers in the bond sales
program, and declared they would
be joined by another 250,000 news
boys who would ring the nation S
doorbells, bringing the message OF
the Opportunity Bond Drive into II
million American homes.
Top question plaguing bond Off
cials was the recession in employ
ment, lower prices and less con-
sumer cash interfering with the
bond drives reaching its goal.
