FOOD SUPPLY:
More Than Enough

As prices continued to climb, the
government began a campaign o.
telling the American people there
Is more than enough food in this
country and that boarding Is selfish
and unnecessary.
President Truman stressed thai
point in a recent speech and the de.
partment of agriculture repeated il
with a statement that the nations
food supply is so plentiful that price
increases are unwarranted.
The departments report stated
fatty that with high production pros
poets and large storage stocks, sup
plies Of food for civilians in this
country are expected to continue al
the same high level as in past
years.
There has apparently been some
speculative buying and price in.
creases in food In recent weeks sub
stantially similar to those occurring
In 1889, which receded as soon as
consumers realized that food sup
plies are adequate" the report
said.
But the increases in prices, de.
spite the report, caused a number
Of repercussions on the home front.
An immediate investigation into
supply, demand and cost was in.
dictated by some government
sources. American housewives add.
ed their voice to the turmoil. More
than one retailer found his displays
ignored and demands for price con-
trolls and even %rationing were being
heard in some quarters.
The government reported COM
modities on which stocks we're high
included dairy products, eggs, poul-
try and potatoes. Fruits and veg
etables were termed ample. Total
meat output in 1850 probably will
be slightly larger than last year,
the report said.
Many believe any campaign the
government might launch for vol
untary rationing is doomed to fail.

TRUMAN:
Report TO Congress

President Truman in his message
to congress on the Korean situation
called for $40, 600, 600, 900 down pay
ment on a vast mobilization drive to
win the war and combat any Red
aggression elsewhere in the world.
He left no doubt in the minds of
Americans, and the world in gen.
eral, about the situation when he
said:
1.-THE free world has made it
clear, through the United Nations,
that lawless aggression will be met
with force. This is the significance
Of Korea and it is q significance
whose importance cannot be over
looked.
ST shall not attempt to predict the
course Of events. But I am sure that
those who have it in their power to
unleash or withhold acts of armed
aggression must realize that new
recourse to aggression in the world
today might well strain to the break
ing point the fabric of world peace.
1--WE will not finch in the face OF
danger or difficulty"
He recommended anti = initiation
controls, a swift stepping up Of wal
production, additional huge sums to
arm none Communist nations and a
sharp boost in taxes.
He authorized the calling OF re-
servists and guardsmen, along with
free use Of the draft law to build up
fighting units. Secretary Of Defense
johnson was authorized to call units
as needed.
A summary of the steps asked Of
congress: SD.
Remove all statutory limits on
size Of the armed forces.
Provide $40, OoO, 900, 900 additional
military funds; details to be sup
piled later.
Authorize q priorities-and-alloca-
ton system for materials for on
essential purposes; prevent inven-
tory boarding; authorize seizure Of
materials needed for the fighting ef-
fort.
Authorize government loans and
loan guarantees to spur defense pro-
ductionS.

LIVING COSTS:
Continue to Climb

To the average American, the
man who has a definite income
within which he must live. a new
and serious worry has appeared.
Prices have continued to climb
since the beginning Of the Korean
war, not as fast as the first DAYS
after the opening Of the conflic'. but
a steady upward spiral that Is be-
ginning to cause hardship for those
with low incomes.
The creeping advance widened out
through the list of goods, clothing
and food. Only a few items essential
to Americas standard Of living re-
manned at the level Of the first
frightening days Of the Korean con-
flict.
The experts believe the American
people are bringing the increases
upon themselves. Consumers still
crowded into stores to stock up on
goods they remembered as scarce
In the last var. Department store
sales scared "a percent above the
same period of last year. The great
est gain was SO percent IN Dallas,
Texas.
Sugar, coffee, cocoa, flour, lard
and eggs were reported higher
throughout the country. The price
of meat climbed rapidly In some To-
calities, although wholesale prices
were reported to have fallen since
the opening Of the Korean conflict.
Observers pointed out that by
boarding, Americans r creating
a demand. In turn retailers are TAX
ing advantage Of the demand and
Increasing prices for quick profit.
It was the old story Of quick profit
and greed and the selfishness OF a
minor group Of individuals causing
hardship on the public generally.
AS compared to prices a week
before the conflict began, tin was
up Is cents a pound. wheat up 1874
cents a bushel, rubber up liz cents
a pound, eggs up 8 cents a dozen,
lard up Az cents a pound, and hogs
up "a a hundredweight.
This trend, If continued, can mean
price controls will become neces-
sary. It may mean, also, rationipg
of food, clothing and vital indus.

KOREA:
Reds Advance

Far four weeks Americans had
picked I'D their morning newspapers
and read about the Communist adj
vances In Korea. Now, as the nth
week of the conflict began, the Reds
continued to make advances, but
not with the ease Of the early weeks
of the invasion.
The military picture in Korea was
not bright by any means, but at
fbe same time, it was not so hope
less as it seemed a few days ago.
The Communists had advanced
into Yongdong, about 20 miles south
of fallen Taeion, on the central
front. Along the western coast, the
Commies advanced south to Mokpo
On the southern tip Of Korea. On the
northern front that touches the east
coast. Yongdok, captured by Ameri-
can forces. was retaken by Red
troops.
North Korean troops had captured
two-thirds Of South Korea and were
continuing steady pressure upon
American and South Korean troops.
The line was slowly being pushed
back toward the main American
supply port Of Pusan.
According to U. S. military ex-
merits. however, the picture had It's
brighter side. They pointed to the
number of reinforcements that have
reached Korea, the telling blows OF
the u. S. air force on supply lines
and tanks, and the success OF the
new 3h-inch bazooka against Red
tanks.
Gen. Douglas Macarthur. COM
mander of United Nations forces IN
Korea, made the statement that the
Communists have lost their chance
for victory.
A new view Of the conflict has
been taken by the Pentagon. At
first the Korean affair was looked
upon as a minor fight which this
country could take care OF In SIX
months. That estimate has been re-
vised sharply upward
There is no lack of optimism over
the eventual result, but there is a
clearly defined desire to discourage
any thought of a swift victory. In
fact, some military authorities re-
port it may be next spring before an
offensive can be launched and as
many as 200, 900 men may be used
in 1t.
A general summary Of the situa-
tion would seem to indicate the pic
ture has many unpleasant features,
but is not entirely hopeless.

SENATOR TAFT:
Pow as We Go

Sen. Robert Taft Of Ohio, who has
preached economy and a balanced
budget to the Democratic admins
tration for years, caused a mild
wave Of shock among many legis-
lators when he proposed slapping
taxes on everybody Immediately to
pay for the Korean war.
The senator said the Russian
threat is clamping a ''semi-mili-
tary'' condition on the us. at a
permanent" extra cost Of $40 to
$40 a billion a year.
"Since this is not a temporary
condition but one that may continue
indefinitely, we should tax the peo-
pie for the whole cost. said Taft.
He observed the condition may last
perhaps 10 or Is years..
Many observers believe tn a t
pressure is building up on congress
for quick and drastic tax boosts to
carry the defense load.

New Lake Erie
District Planned

The Ohio Wildlife Council,
meeting in Columbus last week,
created new Wildlife Conserva-
tion District to increase the eff
cheney of the Division of Wildlife
field administration.
The new district will include
the water of Lake Erie and will
be designated as District No. s
with headquarters in one of the
DIVISIONS present buildings at
Sandusky.
A supervisor is expected to be
appointed from the ranks of the
game protectors. The Council in
dicated its wish that additional
law enforcement officers might
be appointed to handle routine
lake duties to assist those al
ready assigned to lake patrol thus
relieving the officers in adjoining
counties who have been serving
in dual capacity for many years.
The details of organizing a
workable plan was referred to
the Division Chief, Lee Reach, and
his staff subject to approval at
the June Council meeting.
In 1881 the State was divided
into seven districts, each with APP
proximately II counties, for law
enforcement administration pur-
poses. In 1889 district offices
were established in each district
to serve as a working headquar-
ters for district supervisors and
all other personnel assigned to
that particular area including the
game protectors. The primary
purpose of the plan was to decen.
tralize administrative operation
for greater efficiency and econ
omy.
The Divisions Lake Erie man.
agement activities has been under
the direction of Lake Erie activ.
tiles supervisor and certain main
tenance matters have been hand
led by the field force of Districts
2 and 3. Until May 18th, Dor
Waters, of Elmore former Con
servation Commissioner, was gen
eral supervisor. His resignation
rendered previously became eff
fective on that date.
The motion to create the new
district was made by DR.. Pau
Sears, Oberlin, and seconded b.
DR.. Ben Talbut, Toledo, and re
ceived unanimous approval by tn,
eight Council members present.
