Harry's Whistle Stop

Whether you agree with Presi- dent Truman or not, any fair minded political observer will agree that when Harry gets out among the folks, it does something both for him and for them.
 He is like Antaeus who got new strength every time he was thrown to earth, and whom Hercules could not vanquish until he held him over his head away from the earth
 Likewise Harry Truman is strong est when he gets away from lis palace guard of cronies and sticks close to the earthly people from whom he came and to whom he belongs They give him almost a spiritual lift, and he in turn gives them a political hit as far as his popularity and the Democratic party are concerned.
 This, of course, is something for the Republicans to worry about.
 However, in these days of new and fiendish poison gases, there is also something else for all of us to worry about-namely, the wave of neutrality that is sweeping Western Europe.
 Carefully nurtured by the Com munist party and by the Moscow radio, many Europeans have come to believe that the U. s. A. is the worlds worst warmonger and that Western Europe is foolish to get in the middle of a clash between the U. s. A. and the '. s. SIR.
 Propaganda Is relatively cheap It costs little to send radio waves into Western Europe, or send Com- munist speakers among the rahks of labor. The Marshall Plan Ets us billions annually and has done a great job in rebuilding Europe But we have received little crcss.4' for [, because we haven't acc M panied it by the proper sales cam paig1.

Russians Have Secret, Too?

Russians Have Secret, Too?
 The Army is now using goats, rabbits and rats to experiment with Tabun and Sarin at Dugway Prov ing Ground in the barren Utah desert. The gases are invisible and difficult to detect, though Army scientists who have gotten a whiff of escaping Tabun say it smells faintly like Juicy Fruit" chewing gum.
 The Germans turned over 200- pound and 5o0-pound Tabun gas bombs to the U. s. Army after V-E' Day-hombse a~,ifef1 had never been used for fear of retaliation though captured German docu- ments show that propaganda min ister Joseph Goebbels urged that Hitler resort to Tabun in the last, desperate days.
 German officers handling the Tabun bombs were deathly afraid of them, warned that they might explode if left in the sun too long.
 Inasmuch as the Russians took over German war secrets, it is safe to assume that Russians have been experimenting with Tabun and Sarin in the same way we are doing.
 .Note-Dr, Albert Speer, former Reichminister of Armament, tolG allied authorities he had planned kill Hitler with Tabun by filter ng it into his ventilating system. But Hitler built protective chim- ney around the ventilating funnel before Dr. Speer could carry out his plot.

last three quarters of 1851. When
the results are in. the figures on
requirements for the three metals

and public producers.
Large Aluminium User,
| The power industry is estimated
to use 10 per cent of the Nation S
total aluminium supply. The NPA' S
order of Monday. cutting non-de-
fense use of aluminium back by
I35 per cent beginning January /,
did not apply to aluminium trans
mission cable, wire, or bus bars
used by the power industry if the
equipment was on hand or if sup
pliers had accepted orders for de-
livery in the first quarter of next
year.
Presumably the copper order the
NPA is preparing will make the
same provision.
The power administration an
nounced yesterday the appoint

with a New York engineering firm

| Steel Allocated for Ships.
Today the NPA allocated 10000
tons of steel monthly to build IL
new Great Lakes ore carriers and
other cargo vessels. 1t said the
ships would support the planned
expansion OF steel producing
plants.
The agency also broadened its
ban on the construction of amuse-

prohibited list.
AS now defined, the ban applies
to golf courses, yacht basins, ten
mis- courts. race tracks and SWIM

of more than $4,000 in any 12-
month period.
| Originally the construction order
permitted the rebuilding of any

The definition of amusement de-
vices was expanded to include
merry y-go-rounds and similar de-
vices, whether fixed or removable.
! The definition of exposition
building was clarified to prohibit
only those used for "recreational,
amusement or entertainment dis
play purposes" This presumably
would exempt county and State

for educational purposes.
