Higher Food Prices In Prospect

WASHINGTON, (P) - Higher food prices-maybe the highest ever-are in prospect for next year, the agriculture department said today.
 The department predicted that food prices, which have risen through most of 1850 with fair ly sharp upturn after the out break of war in Korea, probably will not go up much more before late winter.
 But in a report on the national food situation the department foresaw reinforced pressure" on prices in the spring and declared:
 Accelerated consumer demand for food. unless checked by anti inflationary measures or other de- velopments, could push food prices by mid-year up to and even above the record level of the sum- mer of 1948."
 While food supplies somewhat larger than this years are expect ed, the department said the in crease likely will be insufficient to keep pace with greater consumer demand for food.

Will Transfer Some Antitrust Cases To Other Courts
Continued from Page One)

Continued from Page One) mutual agreement between the governments battery of five attor- neys and seevral defense counsel for transfer of the Healy River Coal Corporation case to Fair banks. The government had op- posed the transfer but came to an agreement without a court ruling on the motion. Atcions against several Fairbanks liquor dealers were transferred to the interior city without opposition several weeks ago.
 Liquor and meat cases involv- ing Ketchikan dealers had also been transferred without opposi- ton to the southeastern Alaska City.
 The latest action leaves four of II cases in Dimond's court. They involve price fixing cha g es against Anchorage taxicab, liquor and cleaning establishments and and similar actions against certain Seward liquor dealers.
 Although upholding the valid ity of the 10 criminal indictments, DiuOn6 instructed oOVernnent attorneys to list the witnesses who appeared before the grand jury in each case where an indictment was returned.
 The criminal indictments had been challenged by defense attor- neys on grounds that the sigma lures of witnesses did not appear on the indictments as proper en- dorSement.

HERBERT HOOVER EXPLAINS THE STATE OF THE MINING INDUSTRY


 (Rebrinted from The Daily Alaska Empire)
 In statement prepared for Burt B. Brewster's Min ing Review Herbert Hoover tells the state of the ferrous mining industry in the Pacific and Moutain States.
 Because the conditions to which Mr. Hoover points in his statement pertain pertlnenty to Alaska mining industry we reprint 1t here
 Gold production at time of AlaskaS greatest resources has fallen from about 28 million dollars worth in 1941 to under million dollars in 1949 The difficulties surrounding gold mining in Alaska sim liar to those outlined in Mr. Hoovers statement.
 And no town in Alaska is aware of the injury resulting from the closing of mines than Juneau with it's once great Alaska Juneau mine imperative since 1914.
 Here is Herbert Hoover's statement from The Min ing Review:
 The number of nOn-ferrOuS metal mines in the MOun- tain and Pacific States decreased from about II 000 in 1885 to 2,300 in 1949
 This is appalling degeneration in vital part Of the national economy
 The reasons for this degeneration common knoWl edge to the whole industry. In the main they are:
 l. considerable part of this degeneration has been the result of national expenditure taxation and controls which undermine the supply of venture capital and ad venture enterprise in the nation whole The effect of these forces violent tO the nOferrOuS mining industry than to any othr.
 2 The whole structure of the industry is ignored by the powers that be- In the long view and in it's totals, this industry is losing business That s the total costs of equipment technical staff, labor and supplies put into is than the total value of the output It is kept going because it is jackpot industry, where the occasional winner keeps people working at it. It s therefore, an industry of the utmost venture type
 g. The structure of the industry is roughly in three parts
 First is the prospector who makes the original find He must spend infinite hardship, time and energy in the search
 Given find-which is probably lOO-to-1 shot to lose-he is dependent upon the second stage, which may call the stag tn preliminary operator who puts in capital for further development and equipment He undertakes probable 20-to-1 shot.
 The third stage where large capital is required for equipment, especially in large deposits of low grade or of difficult metallurgy Even this stage is prob ably 3-to-1 shot to lose.
 4. The average profitable life of successful lures is definitely limited The average is probably not than ten happy days.
 5 All along this line, stage by stage taxation and gov ernment regulations step in to do violence to give Encouragement. The preliminary operator" is throt tied by the SEC. in securing capital which has usually to be done by selling stock interest in corporation. If the preliminary operator develops successful mne then he is confronted with the voracious double income and corporation tax which may take from 30 per to 80 per cent of his profits The depletion and depreciation allowances are on the average too little

ANCHORAGE (P)-After argu- ments in the anti-trust suits here yesterday, the government an- nounced that federal judge George w. Folta would come from the Southeastern Division in mid-No- vember to help Judge Anthony Dimond with an unprecedented number of cases here. :-....
 In the last fiscal year here the Third Division court disposed of 607 civil and l33 criminal cases, almost exceeding the combined total of TAP cases for the other three Divisions.
 The docket still is growing, with new cases filed exceeding the record number in the year just closed.
 AS of Sept. 30, the 618 cases pending exceeded the 348 in all Alabama Districts and the 309 in Maryland.

shots against his Some of the larger panies do deal with the prospector they write off their bad shots against their good oneSbut the large companies do not take much initial risk The sum total is that the market for the prospector finds has diminished that he is becoming a scarce person.
 G. The answer to all this is that A. the SEC. should leave the prospector and the preliminary operator wholly alone in their seeking venture capital When people buy their mining stocks they know that they are taking risk and do not need guardian. The SEC. does. The SEC does not seem interested in Reno and Las Vegas which gambles produce national wealth. B: The prospector and the preliminary operator should be allowed to average their losses with their years C. They should be given not depletion and de- preciation allowance, but total freedom from taxes until they get their capital back After ths they should join the ranks of taxpayers.
 Even the large companies need more depletion and depreciation allowances, the average life of given mine is too short for recovery of development and equipment within the present allowances.
 believe if the present level of taxes and controls had been in operation for the past fifty years there would scarcely be two dozen large producers in action today This risky business is built of largely out of blowing the profits. But the government by double taxation takes from 30 per cent to 80 per cent from successful enterprise.
 S. There are other by-products of all this lack of n telgence in taxation and regulation The prospector and the preliminary production is coming mainly from the large companies However, they must con- stantly get mines to replace the exhausted with the crowding out of the prospector and the
 preliminary operator, the companies being starv ed for such sources of ore.
 Today we realize the prophecies which many of the industry made fifteen years ago. Some so per cent of the number of mines have disappeared in this 15 years We are being driven to imports for metals And parallel Government is giving subsidies under the Marshall Plan to develop foreign mines
 The national consequence of all this is the mining in dustry is seeking government subsidies in some form But government subsidies recreate the prospector and the preliminary operator?" His is not the sort of spirit that can be created by bureaucracy.
 vital industry in IS years should be some shock to the nation

Our military Slumst Abroad

Last year, after f1rsthand inspection, the
Joint Chiefs of Staff described the military hous-
ing situation in the Pacific area as critical"
Congress promised to do something about it.
How far that promise has been fulfilled can be
inferred from the Joint Chiefs reaction to a
second inspection of Pacific bases General
Bradley, jos chairman, best summed up the
impressions of his group when he referred to
some of the housing for troops as military
slums"
General Bradley aimed his criticism specf-
ically at quarters for enlisted men and their
families in Alaska, Guam, Okinawa, Kwajalein
and parts of Japan. General vandenberg, Air
Force Chief of Staff, said he was mortified" at
what he saw, adding: "We talk about slum clear
ance at home, but find conditions for troops in
Alaska and elsewhere much worse"
Tt is hard to understand why conditions such
as those pictured by the Joint Chiefs have been
permitted to develop and to remain uncorrected.
The situation in Okinawa and Guam has been
aggravated, it is true, by typhoons which repeat
edly have damaged or destroyed the wartime
Quonset huts which serve as living quarters for
our men. But conditions in Alaska cannot be
blamed on storms although the weather makes

words. The words would mean nothing
to him. He might get to the heart of
the music. After all, music is the one tie
we have with birds. They were the first
music makers. Some of their song pat
terms, while elementary are exactly the
same as the themes great symphony
composers used. Their singing is part
of them, not an education in our sense.
They sing because nature sees to it that
they sing. Singing, with them, is mat
ter OF light and heat. The season, as
exemplif1ed in heat and light, is their
all. Mankind can understand this, and
has taken a part in it, too because man
kind is veritably part of nature. In
all our talk of "a" bombs and "H"
bombs we should never forget that at
bottom these terrible things are mani
festations Of the animal world If SER
pents could be physicists, such bombs
would delight them. When we make
such bombs, we are not exemplifying
man at his best, but at his animal level,
despite all the brains that go into their
making. The search of the centuries for
an above-animal level for mans exist
ence strikes new low in the urge to
create and to use such things. Some
how, man must get to a higher level Of
life. 1t is the level told Of long ago.

The Stockholders Approve

The overwhelming vote by the stockholders,
in favor of the Bethlehem Steel Corporations
pension plan for its employees tends to refute the
notion that the people who have invested their
money in this industry are hostile to the people
who work in it.
OF those voting, 1929 stockholders favored
the $100-a-month pension plan, and only 2,423
were against it. Eugene Grace chairman of the
board, said this means that $3.50 per cent of the
concerns outstanding stock was voted in favor
of the pension plan, and mere 26 per cent
against it.
It is true, of course, that the stockholders
were confronted with what amounted to an
accomplished fact. But it is not unreasonable
to infer from the result of the vote that the vast
majority of the Bethlehem investors want to
share the profits of the concern on an equitable
basis with those who actually produce the steel.
If this is correct, it encourages hope for an i'm
proving, rather than a worsening relationship
between these two key segments of our free
enterprise system.

This and That

The man from Fessenden street
seemed disappointed when we told him
that there was nothing new about a
cardinal singing in February.
We forgot. for the moment, that it
was new to him!
Redbirds out our way had been singing
that cheer, cheer, cheer song for weeks
on end. but down in the city 1t was
something extra.
It is similar to that one about the
squirrels walking on telephone wires.
There is scarcely week goes by, the

up and tell in an amazed voice how he or
she has just seen this sight.

AS gently as possible one explains that
it is an old, old story. Yes it has been
written up-many times. Many times.
The disappointment is plain. But
what can one do? It is impossible to
write everything more than thousand
times!
The song of birds is always new, of
course. It is not song that grows stale.
Unreasonable spells of weather set
most of the birds to singing.
The cardinal calls; the song sparrow
breaks into new vocal life: the old mock

thinks it is spring, too, and begins to roll

Lesson In Sportsnoonship, Moscow Style

M ost Americans, in their happy ig-
AA norance. are inclined to think of
sport as harmless thing-perhaps even
as a good thing. But most Americans
do not listen to the Moscow radio. They
fail to understand, therefore, the real
menace that lies concealed in what they
always considered pleasant and
healthful pastime.
If, for example, they had heard re-
cent Russian broadcast beamed at the
Germans, they would have learned that
sport-or what passes for it in this
benighted country-iS nothing in the
world but an imperialist plot by mon
archo-fascist warmongers to lure Amer
ican youth into martial frame of mind.
The Russian broadcast in question was
based on an article in the 'Komsomol-
skaya Pravda," in which the eminent
Bolshevik journalist Zaslavsky discussed
THE Militarization of u. S. Sports
The broadcaster first noted that Gen.
Eisenhower has made sinister observa-
tion to the effect that, in the recent war,
every good soldier turned out also to be
good sportsman.
1.-The bourgeois press in Western
Europe published this statement as
though it were a revelation" said Radio
Moscow. But the idea of the United
States militarist is not new 1t was ex-
pressed much earlier and with even
greater candor by the former Hitlerite
sports leader, Carl Diem, who stated that
war was the handspring of all sports"
AS Moscow sees it, the Wall Street
crowd has been trying to persuade
America that the "Marshallized coun-
tries" will do all our fighting for us. But
the capitalist bosses know this won't
happen. Therefore, they are doing what
they can to see to it we have good
homegrown army available.
Lately" said the broadcaster, United
States sports journals and periodicals
have more and more frequently urged
the young Americans to get out on the
sports grounds. The Senators as well as
the generals. the businessmen as well as
the men of science, advise American
youth to engage in sports.
There you are. What more proof could
any one possibly ask that we are out to
dominate the world?.
Sports, according to the Moscow radio,
are designed to eradicate things like
