48. The political outlook for 1851
will be completely dominated by
jockeying for position in the pre-

Congress time will be spent on
international problems: but either
war or peace could come early in
1851, which could make many of
the above forecasts useless.

For the first time in history,
breeders of Guernsey cattle in
Mississippi have access to artifi-
cial breeding. This was brought
about on November LIST when the
Agriculture Department of the IL
linois Central Railroad purchased
registered Guernsey for the Mis-
sissippi Artificial Breeding As
ISOLATION. This sire, Wey Acres
Levity Kasper, will be stationed
at Mississippi State College, at
Starkville. L. H. Higgins, State
Dairy Specialist said that the H.
linois CentraPs purchase of this
bull would complete the number
of bulls needed to start artificial
breeding of Guernseys in the
state.
The Durant news. (Durant, Miss.) 1882-1985, 1950-12-28

Higgins also pointed out that
Wey Acres Levity Kasper was one
of the great bulls of the Guernsey
breed. His sire was Carnation
Levity Prince, a name that is
known in all Guernsey circles. His
dam was Estelle's Royal Kate, also
another well known family OF
cows.
p. r. Farlow, General Agricul-
tural Agent for the Illinois Central
states that the purchase was made
from the nationally known re-
search farm Of Ballard and Bal

Vaughn, local agricultural agent
in Mississippi, made arrangements
for the purchase and loan to the
Association.

More Deficit Financing
After June 30. 1851

81. The first half of 1851 may
actually see a budget surplus as
a result of high national income
7nd increased taxation. Later. if
Congress goes along with the Ad-
ministration's plans for huge re-
armament, a federal deficit will
arise during the last half of the
year.
49, AS a result of the preceding
prediction, money supplies should
not begin to rise until after bu-
siness has turned down. Increases
at such a time are not likely to
have much effect on prices.
30 Government bonds will be
held tightly between the floor Of
federal reserve support purchases
and the ceiling of federal reserve
anti-inflation sales. Under such
conditions. price changes should
be negligible.

Bobson Predicts
Continued from Front Page
Taxes Will Be HIGHER

is. The burden of federal taxes
both corporate and personal, will
be increased again in 1851. State
and municipal taxes will remain
high.
II. There will be an excess pro-
fits tax in 1851. These excess
profits taxes will be milder than
those in force during World War
II; but they will be inflationary
and retard efficiency, economy
and incentive.
IL. There will be heavy pressure
for increased federal "sales taxes
to discourage purchasing of lux
ury and certain non-essential
goods. Congress will see the val
ue of some such taxes as an in
flation road block.
10. States and municipalities
will again be under pressure to
find adequate sources of revenue,
Further increases in such taxes
can be looked for next year with
additional cities andfor states
adopting sales taxes.
20. Despite renewed efforts to
increase the long-term capitol
gains tax above the present Is
per cent figure, rates will remain
unchanged.
Domestic Trade Will Be Less
81. Credit curbs will cut into
the demand for automobiles and
household equipment. Compile
tons of fewer dwellings will also
act as a damper on furniture sales.
%. Falling demand for hard
goods should mean a sterilization
of the public's spending for food
and lower-priced soft goods.
%. The trend forecast in No. %
will mean decline in department
store volume, but I predict rise
in the sales of variety chains and
of drug chains.
Foreign Trade Outlook Fair
"a. Barring new war develop
ments, I look for continued shrink
age in our exports during 1851
Imports, however, should rise fur
Their. Total foreign trade should
not be much changed, but the ex-
porters will be on the short end
of this business with the import
ers gaining.
Is. It will become more difficult
to convince Congress that addi-
tional heavy credits should be
granted abroad except for war
supplies.
g. AS was the case this year
many domestic manufacturers will
feel increasing competition from
foreign merchandise. The cry for
increased tariff protection will be
heard again in the land.
q. Business and financial fore
casts for next year are NOT based
on the thought that World War
III will start in 1851. Russia is
certainly heading for war, but we
do not believe she now wants il
in Europe. She will be satisfied
to have her satellites continue
taking unexpected jabs at us
while the Politburo boys hand out
the soothing syrup. But we NAV
see another episode like "Korea'
in 1851.

Real Estate Activity
Will Decline
80. The real estate outlook for
1851 will be strongly affected by
curhs on mortgage credit. Much
of the recent boom was the re-.
suit of easy credit, almost no.
thing down and small easy pay
ments for years hence.
40. New home construction will
suffer greater decline than other
lines. Non-essential commercial
Al. The coming decline in new
building will throw wet blanket
over speculation in vacant subur-
ban lots.
AZ. The scare caused by the Ko-
rean-Chinese War and fears of an
early outbreak in other sections
will adversely affect the demand
for big city real estate. Lower
business volumes and the draft
next year will also curtail such
demand.
40. Small sustenance farms
should hold up well in price as
demand will be spurred by those
seeking refuge outside the biz
cities. Demand for large com.
mercial farms. however, should
weaken as the year progresses.
"a. The swing back toward rent

Exhibit Shows
Indignation In
Services

WASHINGTON (ANP)- Presi-
dent Truman's order for complete
Indignation in the armed forces
was no mere gesture, according to
Secretary of Defense Louis A.
Johnson last week.
Johnson made his remarks at
the opening of a special exhibit of
photographs of Negro service men
in the Pentagon. The secretary
said that time will show that the
job is being done and added"
| hope intelligently."
The exhibit was arranged from
photos taken by "Our World"
magazine. According to John P.
Davis, publisher of the magazine,
the pictures are intended to show
that equality of treatment in the
armed forces is not entirely a
hoax.
Davis was presented to Secre-
tary Johnson by James G. Evans,
civilian assistant to the secretary.
In presenting the exhibit, the pub
Usher declared that it was an ex-
ample of democracy in action in
a free nation"
The more than 800 photographs
were taken in 10 installations of
the Army, Navy, Marine Corps,
and Air Force. The pictures show
various phases of life in the SER
vices, training as well as recrea-
ton; Negroes and Whites to-
gether.
Open to the public, the exhibit
will remain inthe concurse of the
Pentagon for a week.

Natures Children

shell, they creep on all fours toward
the water. This is perhaps re-
verting to prehistoric days when
these birds were four footed reptil
liam creatures, millions of years ago.
Even in the water the chicks
swim toward their parents in the
same way, with wings and beak
awash only their heads held proudly
high above the surface, as though
teasing the frantic parent.
After the parent has disappeared,
it may come up a hundred feet
away with an explosive bob, then
swim about shipping at objects to
fool an onlooker before coming up
in a mass of vegetation held fast
in the water by aquatic stems. This
is likely to be the next, though from
all appearances it is another collec-
ton of rotting vegetation. Upon
returning, the bird removes the
blanket" pushes it to one side,
then settles gently on the warm
white eggs.
In observing the water-witch you
discover there Is no seeming fright.
The idea is to keep your attention
fully occupied. This is done by
diving, temperance, aquaplaning
or some other tactic as though en-
deavoring to attract your attention
so you will leave or give chase.
AS a rule these noisy and visible
performances are of short duration.
Then the marsh appears to be de-
serted. If you watch closely, ser
pentine head will poke above the
surface of the water, the body grad
ually following so slowly that not
sound is heard. When she looks
about after settling on her nest, she
appears to be mildly satisfied,
though alert as ever.
