is trying to turn them into colonial slaves of new imperialism"
 And the President left for the Russian Politburo a bold and blunt reminder that the United States will not stop short of war to resist aggression and preserve free way of life"
 MT. Truman flew back to Wash- ington shortly after delivering his major foreign policy speech last night in the War Memorial Opera House where the United Nations charter was born five years ago.
 He left San Francisco's Interna- tional Airport at 1:15 am. EST. on the last, eight-hour left of a IA. .400-mile round trip flight during which he talked with General Douglas Macarthur on Wake Is- land about what. he said, were the dangers which still face us."
 Partnership With World
 What we want is partnership for peace with all the world" MT. Truman told a cheering audience. He said We want peace but it must be a peace founded upon justice. That American policy is as old as our republic and it is stronger today than ever before in our history. And with Gods help we intend to keep it that way"
 The crowd applauded vigorously as the President declared We are increasing our armed strength be- cause Soviet policies leave us no other choice"
 Now Up To Russia
 If the Soyiets really want peace," MT. Truman continued, they can prove it ''by living up to the United Nations charter" "by joining the rest of the United Nations in calling upon the North Koreans to lay down their arms at once:" by iift- ins the Iron Curtain and permitting the free exchange of information and ideas" and, finally, by joining with the LIN to establish system of collective security which will permit the elimination of the atomic bomb and the drastic reduction and regulation of all other arms and armed forces"
 Common Defense
 MT. Truman declared that until the Soviet Union does these things we are determined to build up the common defensive strength of the free world
 What the United States did for Korea, he said in effect, it stands ready to do, in conjunction with the United Nations, for any peaceful country that finds it's borders yio- lated and its freedom attacked.
 We hate war" the President de- clared, but we love our liberties. We will not see them destroyed"

FARM CENSUS

Farmers throughout the ma
fion are going TO have a new
kind of visitor sometime during
the month of April. He will be
the census taker. April is the
month that the bureau of CEN
sus is taking both the decennial
population count and the agri-
cultural census which is taken
every five years.
For the agricultural census farm
ers will be asked to answer approx
mate1y 800 questions, ranging from
the number of acres they operate to
the number of days they worked off
their farms, if any.
The population count is expected
TO confirm bureau estimates that
there has been a sharp decline in
farm population since the 1910
census.
Only last January, the bureau es-
timated that the farm population
shrank 100000, or rs percent,
from April, 1910, to April, 1949,
when the total was placed at 28,-
258,OOO.

AzEz9 Controls in USDA Budget
Keeping in Toueb VIII Washington

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Appropri-
ations requested for USDA by
President Truman in his budget re-
port to congress include funds to
cover costs of operating possible
rigid production controls next year
on such major crops as wheat, corn,
cotton, tobacco, rice and peanuts.
Rigid marketing quotas are in
effect this year for cotton. to-
bacco and peanuts. and the re-
quest for funds 10 include the
other o m m les lays the
groundwork for overall cover
age.
USDA officials, however, empha-
size that the fact that the agency
has taken the precaution" to set
up a. budget for control measures
does not necessarily mean controls
will actually be imposed or needed.
The decision on whether quotas
will be extended next year, they say,
must await the output of this years
crops and an appraisal of market
prospects for the 1851 crops.

2 BILLION MORE SUPPORT

BILLION MORE SUPPORT
An additional $4,000. 600. 600 in
borrowing authority is being
sought for the Commodity Cred
ii Corp. the government agency
which finances farm price sup
port activities.
Except for a $750,000, 900 reserve,
the present borrowing authority is
expected to be exhausted when price
support operations are complete on
1949 production.
The estimate for 1850 production
is $4,000, 100000, the amount of ad-
ditional borrowing authority which
is being requested.
Already $4,000, 900, 900 of the pres

AND MONTANA TOO


While attention presently is
cenfered on New York state and
Michigan. all the other states
which protect butter against yell
low oleo. are on the oleo indus
trY's time table.
These include Connecticut, Della
ware, Idaho, Illinois, Iowa, Mime
sofa, Montana, Oregon, Pennsyl-
vania, South Dakota, Vermont,
Washington, Wisconsin and Wyo-
ming. These states, along with
Michigan and New York, now ban
the sale of yellow oleo.
The other two states which have
protective legislation are North Da-
kota, which, while not barring yell
low oleo, imposes a 20 cents a pound
tax, and Utah, which has 10 cents
a pound tax.
Several of the states which pro-
hibit yellow oleo also tax the sale
of the uncolored product.
Wisconsin has a Is cents pound
tax; South Dakota, 10 cents, and
Idaho and Iowa, 5 cents. North Da-
kota also taxes uncolored oleo, the
rate being 10 cents a pound-or half
that imposed on colored oleo. Utah
has 10 cents a pound tax on un-
colored.

relief organizations.
Agencies receiving the surpluses
must make sure that the products
will not get back into regular chan
nels of trade to compete with the
price support program.
LAND AND OWNERSHIP
Here are some facts for
thought from a recent USDA
publication. farm Land Own
ership in the United States:
Only one out of four persons own
ing farms is under AS years of age.
Six percent of all farm land is
owned by federal, state or other
units of government, and percent
is Indian lands :. IA percent of the
farm land is owned by business and
professional people.
OLEO BATTLE IN STATES
Now that the senate has
joined the house of represent
atives in voting TO repeal the
federal oleo tax while at the
same time rejecting protective
amendments offered by dairy
state members. the oleo indus
try is pushing forward its inva-
sion of states where yellow oleo
is outlawed or taxed.
The first skirmish in this battle
was fought long before congress
acted. 1t was fought in 1948, and
won incidentally by the oleo indus
try, when Ohio repealed its restric-
tions.
Now the battle scene has already
been shifted to big New York state
and Michigan, the prizes among the
states where yellow oleo is banned.
Bills are now pending in the New
York legislature removing the ban
in that state. Michigan votes next
November on similar proposal.
New York state, with its nearly
100000 population, and Michigan,
with nearly 100000 are the giants
among the 18 states which protect
butter against yellow oleo.
Their combined population of TO-
100000 is more than one-third of
the 55,000,000 total population of
the 18 states.
So the stakes in this fight, while
at state rather than national level,
are tremendous.

care of polio patients.
 6. To lay plans for community participation in the event of a polio epidemic.
 At this point two questions were asked from the group:
 l. Question: What happens to money raised on an army post?
 Answer: Ordinarily 50 per cent of the money raised in a local community goes to the National Headquarters and 50 per cent re- mains in the community. How ever, 10 per cent of the money raised on an Army post goes to the National Headquarters, and 50 per cent of that sum is re- turned to the local, official chap ter. 50 per cent of the money raised on the base at Elmendorf Field or Fort Richardson would be returned to the Anchorage Chapter.
 2. Question: Will the money be used only for those patients who are in the acute stage of the dis ease?
 Answer: No, the Foundation guarantees treatment as long as it will benefit the patient.
 Orin Kimball stated that Kodiak had organized local polio com mittee when the outbreak started in Alaska This group raised $2,000 which it sent to the Ma tional Foundation. MT. Altenberg said that $1,000 of this would be returned to the Anchorage Head quarters.
 The general meeting then ad- journed, and the executive com mittee met to elect officers, as follows:
 Chairman, Mrs. Dorothy Cham berlain, Anchorage; vice-chair- man, Mrs. R. Atwood; secretary, Miss Norma Fucker, Anchorage; treasurer, Mrs. Sophie Erickson, Spenard.
 At the next meeting of the ex- ecutive committee it was planned ot appoint a medical advisory committee, a chairman of wom- ems activities, and a campaign manager.
 There being no further business the meeting adjourned at 1915 pm.

ton basis. Right now, there is available to the Territory of Alaska $29,OO0 which also will be distributed on a population basis.
 MT. Altenberg hoped that the people in the meeting would or ganize local chapter so that this money could be transferred to it.
 Anyone wishing to join could belong to the local chapter. An executive committee elected by the chapter members would con- duct the business of the chapter as long as there were seven mem- bers present at any meeting.
 A motion was made and carried to accept the charter organizing a chapter of the National Founda- ton in the Third Division with headquarters at Anchorage. The following persons were elected to the executive committee:
 Diana Page, Valdez; Mrs. D. Chamberlin, Anchorage; Miss Florence Eby, Palmer; Miss Nor ma Fucker, Anchorage; Mrs. Sophie Erickson, Spenard; Mayor Loussac, Anchorage; Sidney Rood, Spenard; John Gibbons, Kodiak; :; Don Goodman, Anchorage; Orin Kimball, Kodiak; James Norene, Mt.

I11G alley IGSlOSIlLS 1ldlIlGu LO tIlG executive committee of the re- gently formed official chapter of the 1nfantile Paralysis Association for the Third Division, gave a de tailed explanation of the work ings and purpose of the chapter at the regular meting of the Mata- nuska Valley Health Council. The other two committee members from Palmer, are Dr. Lee L. Nc Kinley, and the Rev Victor Ali sen.
 To secure funds to fight infan- tile paralysis, commonly referred to as polio, there must be an off cial agency through which the National Foundation works loc- ally. Miss Eby's comprehensive report is printed as follows by the FrontierSman so that the com munity may be informed on how to fight the dread malady.
 "On the evening of Dec. 12, 1850, approximately 30 people rep resenting several communities in the Third Division of Alaska met in the studio of radio station KENI to consider the organiza- ton of an official chapter of the National Infantile Paralysis Foun- dation.
 Mayor Loussac of Anchorage opened the meeting at 8:30 pm. by introducing West Altenberg, regional director of the National Foundation from New York City.
 MT. Altenberg outlined briefly the history of the National Foun- dation, as follows:
 The first President Birthday Balls were given in 1884 to obtain funds to support the Georgia Warm Springs Institution in which President Franklin D. Roosevelt had a personal inter est. The money collected from the balls was sent to the President at Washington. Many people throughout the United States ob- jected to this procedure, and in 1885 70 per cent of the funds were left in the local communities and 30 per cent was forwarded to the Presidents committee for the study of infantile paralysis. In 1888 it was decided to establish a national foundation which would function in the field of re- search.
 The proceeds from the first March of Dimes campaign in 1888 were turned over to the newly formed National Foundation. There were adverse reverbera- tions to this procedure, also. Many communities wondered what to do with the funds which had been left in local areas. The National Foundation decided the answer was to organize local chapters. This was done, and at the time there are 2894 such chapters in the United States.
 The National Infantile Par alYsis Foundation laws require mandatoriallY that any funds allocated by them for local use be in the hands of local. legal entity. such as a chapter grant ed charter 10 receive and dis
 burse funds. When the polio
 outbreak occurred in Alaska
 this year no such official chap
 ter existed. so Dr. C. E. AL brecht. commissioner of health
 for Alaska. was appointed as a
 temporary agent 10 receive funds until local chapters were formed. An official chapter has been organized in Southeastern Alaska. and pr. Altenberg hoped two more would be orga- nized. one in the Third Division and one in the Second and Fourth Division.
