Handy Farm Ideas

A. F. writes: 81 had broken disk
on my tandem disk harrow, and had
no wrench large enough to fit the
large square nut on the end of the
disk shaft. So used a leaf from an
old car spring and welded on two
pieces of heavy scrap iron about 8
inches so it would fit the big square
nut. The long spring gives me plenty
of leverage, and now keep it handy
for future use. 1t took only few
minutes and small amount of weld
ing rod to make it."
Note by L w. D.-Most farmers
should have large pipe wrench for
use on well pipes and this would
have done the trick. However, this
shows the importance of having a

In 1910, 1000 tractors and about
100000 horses and mules did the
heavy work on American farms. In
1949 about 100000 horses and mules
and about 3,5OO,O00 tractors, develop
ing 100000 horsepower, did the
work. This shift to tractors has re-
leased for other production 59,000,000

stand too low, so 1 removed the col
lar or plate at the top of the stand,
welded four 10-inch strips of 2-inch
angle iron at the corners of the stand
and welded the plate to their upper
ends so as to increase the height
about 10 inches. This makes the
height about right. Squares of old
tire casing under each leg helps keep
the stand steady"
Note by I. w. D.-Having to make
eight YIELDS on the four pieces of
two-inch angle iron adds consider
ably to the cost. Why not bolt the
stand on heavy wood block 10
inches high and fasten the grinder
directly on the plate, or block OF
concrete could be used instead OF
the wood block. This could be bolted
to the floor or adjustable lag screws
could be used to level the block if
you do not want to bolt the stand
down solidly. Seems like very good
idea.

regular troops and a force of
100000 British-led constabulary-
in the drive to smash Communist

military source said today.
The regulars include $4,000
British and Gurkhas, $500 Malays
and about 1000 locally enlisted
personnel. Previous figures for
regulars published here listed
1900 British and Gurkhas.
Against them are 5000 to 5000

might get even more troops in
the possible diversion of some
forces which had been earmarked
for Korea.

Europe to assume that because
the United States took the lead
ership in building the defense
force that most of the added cost
will come from the American tax
payers.
OF tremendous Importance IS
the decision by the United States
and Britain to press for higher
speed timetable which would put
at least 20 heavily armed divisions
in the field by June, 1851. Experts
assert this would wipe out the
period in which danger of war
would be greatest, when the Rus
slams had enough atomic bombs
to think they could prevent a
Icounterattack by one devastating
blow, and there would still be vir-
tually nothing in front of them
in sweep to the Atlantic.
Reserve Army Included.
This is part of a plan including:
l. A hurry-up to create this
initial" force. later to be aug
mented to a strength of some SO
divisions ready for quick action.
2. A reserve-army system new
to most allies. in which a large
number of divisions would be
trained and alerted to report to
a given spot for a given job in
case of trouble, so they could be
rushed into action within 48
hours.
3. An American overall COM
mander to plan. organize and
carry out the defense of Europe.
The United States opposes split
ting authority among a staff in
which one nation would control
ground forces, a second sea forces
and third air forces. There
could be German divisions but no
German Army or general staff.
Once the military experts say
what is needed, there will come
tumbling over each other a cas-
cade Of tremendous problems, re-
quiring a degree OF international
teamwork and realism, a sense
of urgency and a willingness to
sacrifice, never before attained in
peacetime.
Impossible" Decisions Necessary.
Having decided what we need,
where do we get it?
Who raises the troops and in
what proportion? How much
equipment is required, who is best
equipped to supply it for least,
and who pays for it in what pro-
portion?
How quickly can we acquire it?
How does the impact of greater
defense spending knit into the
Marshall Plan and European re-
covery? What steps are necessary
to achieve maximum speed in
building defense without starting
an imitation which could bring in
the Reds through the political
back door?
The answers will involve some
impossible" political decisions.

Search Resumed for Ship
In Distress Off Arqentia

ST. JOHNS, Newfoundland
Oct. 23.-Planes and ships re-
sumed the search today for the
former Canadian freighter North
Voyageur, which disappeared off
Newfoundland yesterday after
sending brief SOS. Little hope
was held for the Is persons be-
lieved to have been aboard. '
Two United States Navy planes
and a Coast Guard ply plane
joined two Coast Guard cutters in

sci, believed to have gone down

Earlier, the Marconi radio said

in what quantities, and where?
Two countries of Europe-Bel-
gium and Italy-are crying for
orders.
Conversion Needed in England.
In England, where the cardinal
tenet of the labor cabinet is full
employment, at least / million
workers must be converted" from
their present manufacturing jobs
to arms production. In France,
where chronic low wages have
strengthened communism, there is
an acute question of whether all
Frenchmen, or only some, will be
required to kick IN their tax
shares.
Defense budgets are tough to
handle in any country, including
as some of our allies might note
more keenly, the United States.
They force cabinets to consid-
er cutting down popular social
services. usually highly desirable
and often almost necessity to
beat back Communist efforts to
discredit government.
Before Korea, defense budgets
seemed to many Europeans quite
futile because, no matter how
much Belgium or Holland or Italy
or even France or England spent,
they could not possibly stop a
Russian invasion unless backed by
such team as the United States
is now heading.
There is one exception to this
general attitude, Canada. The
Canadians, led by Foreign Min
lister Lester B. Pearson, former
Ambassador to Washington, have
already appropriated $500 million
and are making equipment avail
able to the Allies on a mutual aid
basis.
But in Europe. where the total
defense budget was running, be-
fore Korea, roughly SIS billion a
year overall, compared to a
United States total already above
$50 billion, and soon expected to
reach $40 billion, our Allies-in
advancing programs already
proved to be too small-have felt
that, "of course" the United
States. as chief promoter of the
mutual defense system, would
shoulder a large proportion of
the increase.
Looking at what seems to most
Europeans the limitless wealth
and strength of America, top off,
cials in each capital advance what
seem to them more adequate rea-
sons why, as they make greater
effort, American dollars should
finance it.
Part of Gigantic Trade.
In France they point to the
costly war in Indo-China, the
urgent need for housing and
other social measures, and the
danger of throwing a stable and
moderate third force" cabinet out
of Office if taxes go up or are
toughly collected. In Britain,
there was keen disappointment on
the top inside when the United
States refused to pick up in lump
$500 million of the added s1.2 bill
lion being added to the arms
budget for a three-year period.
This is all part of a gigantic
trade. 1t was negotiated at the
recent foreign ministers meeting
IN New York. The United States
undertook completely new de-
parture in its policy, committing
itself to the leadership of the de-
fense of Europe against aggres-
sion. Without this, as Europeans
know, the continent would be at
the mercy of the Red army.

1t was learned, however, that
the aluminium order either will
include restrictions on civilian use
or that another order will be
issued shortly afterwards cutting
down the amount of the metal
that may be used in civilian pro-
duction or. perhaps, cutting it off
entirely from the manufacture of
some products.
The orders the NPA has been

per were planned initially only as
means of spreading military pro-
duction evenly through the indus

indicated that when plane pro-
duction really begins to roll it
may take about 80 per cent of the
total aluminium output.
Spending Hits Peak Next Year.
It is one of a number of steps
NPA has in the works which
look forward to expansion in the
defense program. 1t was learned
that William H. Harrison, NPA
administrator. has been informed
that defense spending. now at the
rate of S18 billion a year, will
reach a rate of S22 billion in the
first quarter of next year.
The expected level of spending
at the rate of $50 billion will be
reached in the second quarter of

Now the military experts must
decide how Western Europe would
be defended, and what would be
needed in arms and men, and
where they will come from.
Tactical Air Strength Needed.
This will, Of course, require q
tremendous increase in tactical
air strength to erase the over

of the Russians in this field, and
huge orders for the most modern

Once the strategic plan of de-

of equipping it, which so far has
moved ahead with large but spo-
radio orders, can be pulled to-

To West Europe Quickly
BY the Associe,ed Press

The United States probably will
be able to dispatch quickly a sub
stantlal part Of any air strength
it pledges to North Atlantic al
lies at forthcoming European de-
fense talks here.
There are indications the build
up of United States Air Force
strength in Europe already is well
under way.
The explanation is that the Air
Force. unlike the Army. has not
been compelled to put virtually all
its existing strength into the Ko-
rean war.
The guess has been that even
tually the United States may pro-
vide from 5 to 10 of the 10 to
30 army divisions of the combined
Western European defense force.
United States Army officials have
been working feverishly to find
some way to provide the first of
the divisions.
They have considered, among
other proposals, plans for sending
over a newly organized combat
unit, like the 4th Division, recently
converted from a training into a
tactical outfit. Such a division
would be brought up to full
strength with volunteers and
draftees who would be trained
while on duty in Europe.
The Navy is in somewhat the
position of the Air Force. Even
though it has built up the 7th
Fleet in the Far East from an
original handful of craft to a
force that comprises much of
the total 400 United Nations war
ships, it has an ample stockpile
OF vessels and is getting the men
