No Food Shortage
President Truman
Tells The Nation

Washington (LPA)-There is no
prospect of any food shortage in
this country at any time, President
Truman asked the reporters of his
July 13 press conference to tell
the nation.
He seconded Agriculture Secre-
tary Brannan's charge that any IN
crease in food prices would result
from profiteering, not from any
scarcities. To start boarding is
foolish, he said.
Under consideration by the top
government officials, the President
said, were all home-front aspects
of the war. These, questions
brought out, included possible con-
trolls over materials and produc-
ton, manpower controls, rationingi
industrial mobilization, and tax in
crease proposals.
At the proper time, if these steps
appear necessary, the President
said, he would make his proposals
and orders public. The fighting in
Korea is still police action, it will
be continued until the North Kor-
can forces are pushed back to the
38th parallel, and he is hopeful
about prospects for success, he
said.
On Capitol Hill, Sen. Burnet
Maybank Cd, Sc told LPA his
Banking and Currency Committee
does not expect any price or pro-
duction control legislation from
the White House unless the Korean
situation worsens or armed conflict
breaks out elsewhere.
A controversy is growing over
whether industries like steel should
be rapidly put under compulsory
production controls, since they're
operating at peak production now
and new military buying will COM
pete with civilian orders for steel.
Rep. Emanuel Celler Cd, N.Y.,
whose House Monopoly Investigat-
ing committee has done search
ing probe of the steel industry, on
July 13 warned that "in my view
private ALLEGATION systems are vio-
lative of the antitrust laws when
they are arrived at by agreement
between producers" If a system
of steel ALLEGATIONS is found neces-
sary, he proposed that "they will
have to be under authorized gov
ernment permission which may re-
quire legislation, and any such
ALLEGATION program must be safe
guarded so as to avoid long run
monopolistic effects upon the econ
omy."
Commerce Secretary Sawyer and
Treasury Secretary Snyder are un-
derstood to support voluntary
controls policed by the steel indus
try itself. But, warns Celler, "even
when adopted as temporary exped-
tents, such schemes have a tend
ency to fasten themselves upon the
economy after the emergency has
passed. They operate as private
barriers prohibiting the formation
of new enterprises. In the long run
they substitute an economy of scar
city-with private restraints of
trade-instead of a free and COM
petitive economy with full produc-
tion."
President Truman said he ap-
proved of Treasury Secretary Sny-
der's action in asking the Senate
tax-writing committee to stop work
on a 1850 tax bill which might cut
federal income slightly.
Sen. Walter George Cd, Ga },
chairman of the Senate Finance
Committee, said he thought any
new taxes or tax rate increases
could wait until January, when the
S2nd Congress will come into Of
flee.

Mount Vernon School, Alexopdria

The Carlyle House in Alexandria
was built in 1852 on the site of
an old fort. AS you walk in the
door. you see the grandfather
clock and a showcase with old
muskets and swords in it. Then
you see the blue room in which
the governors met and decided to
tax the Colonies to pay for the
French and Indian War.
In the next room, you see a toy
stagecoach that George Washing
ton gave to the Carlyle children.
Downstairs, we see the kitchen,
spinning rooms and the dungeons
where Indians once were i'm
prisoned. On the second floor are
the bedrooms of the Carlyles, La
fayette and Braddock as we'll as
a spare room. These rooms have
closets like modern bedrooms. In
the attic we find the maids room,
children's playroom, mammy's

has resulted.
The Land of the Somalis con-
tains about one-third of a million
square miles. Years ago, it was
split up between Italy, Great
Britain and France. 1t is hard
to say whether Italy will get
back the part lost during World
War II.
Sometimes the Somalis are
called "the Irish of Africa" They
do a great deal of laughing, and
are given credit for good sense
of humor. When they have money,
they spend it freely.
The population of Somaliland is
less than 2 million. Some of the
people live in villages and small
cities, but many spend their lives
wandering about with herds of
cattle and focks of sheep. They
also raise ponies in large number.
A Long Coastline.
The coast of Somaliland borders
the Red Sea, the Gulf of Alden
and the Indian Ocean. The coast
line is more than 1900 miles long,
but it has only a few small ports.
The trade of Somaliland is
mainly in animal hides, ivory,
cattle, myrrh, gum Arabic and
frankincense. In late years, Ital-
ian settlers have raised crops of
cotton, sugar cane, rice and corn.
Jibuti is the only good seaport
of the French part of Somaliland.
1t is close to the strait between
Africa and the southern end of
Arabia. Sometimes the spelling is
given as "Djibouti," but the other
spelling is correct and more SIM
pie to handle.
Jibuti Is Important.
Jibuti has population of about
II 900. 1t is important because
goods from Ethiopia pass through
it on the way to the sea. 1t is at
one end of a railway leading from
the capital of Ethiopia to the
coast.
French Somaliland is less than
one-tWentieth as large as the part
which used to 60 under the name
of Italian Somaliland. It would
have almost no Importance except
for the capital, Jibuti.
France obtained full control of
this little colony IS years ago.

Just Between
Ourselves
Philip H. Love.

If your folks observe Shrove
Tuesday by eating pancakes, per-
hapS you'd like to know the origin
of the custom.
Before the English church broke
with Rome, the day before Ash
Wednesday was a day of "shrift,"
or confession, in preparation for
Lent. In every town, when church.
bells tolled, housewives began max
ing "snrlving cakes" or flapjacks.
Soon as the cakes were ready, the
women hurried to the church to be
"Shrlven," or abSolved of their
sins.
After the separation from Rome,
the English continued to observe
Shrove Tuesday. but it gradually
became a day of merry-making
rather than sorrow for sins. AS
its religious meaning dimmed, it
came to be known as Pancake
Day"
The spirit of the day is indicated
by this 18th century Jingle:
Great A, little A.
Today is Pancake Day!
Toss the ball HIGH,
ThroD the ball lOiU,
1h0Se that come tier
May sing heioh-ho!
Housewives turned their pam
cakes by Tipping them into the
air and catching them in their
sklllets. Throwing the pancake"
became a popular household sport,
one OF number of diversions that
came to characterize the day.
When the pancake bell" rang.
boys and girls began romping
through the streets, chanting
Pancake Day, Pancake DAY,
Cue US holiday or we'H run duay!
GroWnups quit work and Joined
IN the fun. Games of shuttle
cock, battledore and football
sprang up; travelling actors staged
special plays.
Pancake day still is observed
with holiday spirit in Great Brit
ain and her dominions. In the
English village of Olney, in Buck
lnghamshire, for example, house.
wives still go into action in the
kitchen at the first ringing OF the
pancake bell. At the second ring
ing, they gather at the village
pump, and when the bell peals
the third time, they start run
ming toward the church, frying
pans in hand. The rules require
that they flip their cakes three
times while running, and the first
one to reach the church wins a
prize-a kiss from the bell
ringer.
The boys of Westminster
School, London, celebrate in a
different way. At II am, a
verger of the abbey walks
solemnly out of the kitchen, fol-
lowed by cook bearing a huge
f1apjack. The cook flips the cake,
then tosses it into the crowd Of
boys, who go after it as If It
were a fumbled football. The lad
who comes out of the tussle with
the biggest piece of cake wins a
fash prize.

Woodrow Wilson High School
The househy is a perfect creature,
Freedom is his only teacher.
He shows no courtesy to a king,
But just alights on anything.
Strike at him with your hand,
To him its just a command.
To step out of the way of being
hit
He lights upon the back of it.
One can never change his mood,
AS a matter of fact, he's consi-
dered rude.
Unlike us and our daily work,
All he does is sit and smirk.
But to one of his achievements,
Your attention do call.
AS we can only walk on the floor,
He's able to crawl on the wall!

Land Is High.
Most of Somaliland is half a
mile OF more above sea level. This
keeps the place from being so hot
as it might be, but the ther-
mometer goes up too high for COM
fort. Often the afternoons are
more than 100 degrees above zero.
The wild animals of Somaliland
are almost the same as those of
Ethiopia. They include the ele-
phant, the black rhino and the
leopard. There are many leopards
in some of the river valleys. The
name WEBB Shebeli' means
River of Leopards."
Among the other animals are
balloons, jumping shrews and wart
hogs. The dero and the dikdak are
two kinds of antelopes in Somali-
