thcr reduce milk production,
thereby duplicating the shortages
that existed during World War
II. Such change also would
doubtless increase the cost of
feed grains which is a large fac
tor in the cost of producing milk
5. Substantial increases in the
cost of tires, gasoline, motor
trucks, milk bottles and practical
ly all other equipment and sup
plies have been noted within the
past two months. Over all, these
increases have amounted to ap-
proxinately 1870 this year.
6. Under the terms of the E.S.A.
Voluntary Price Standard plan,
dairy companies are permitted to
adjust prices to reflect these cost
increases as long as their total
profits or profit margins before
taxes are not above certain spec
flied levels. Since my unjustified
price increases would be subject
to possible roll-backs, no dairy
companies are expected to raise
beyond the level of absolute nee
essity.
The changing conditions in the
field of dairy products are best
illustrated by the Government it
self. During most of 1850, the
Commodity Credit Corporation
purchased millions of pounds of
butter, cheese ard milk powder
to support farm prices. Within re-
cent weeks, that situation has
been reversed, and the Govern
ment has now. sold all of its
cheese, practically all of its butt
ter and much of its milk powder
back to the trade. Government
stocks of these products no long
er have a depressing effect on
commercial prices.

The EXTENDED NECK

The short session Of Congress.
which opened last week will be
little more than a preliminary
slxirmish in preparation for the
soming Big Show
OF one thing we can be reason
ably certain: the 82Hd will hardly
go down in history as a tranquil
Congress. Storm signals already
have been hoisted. The insistence
of President Truman on his full
domestic program will arouse the
ire of Southerners and strengthen
their coalition with Republicans.
However, it must be kept in mind
that all coalitions are unnatural
amagamations.n In the final a.
nalysis, the Southerners are
Democrats. There are over all
party considerations, questions
of patronage, etc, that must be
weighed carefully. The coalition
viii be effective at whatsoever
point Southern interests are di-
rectly challenged. This combina-
ton should block Civil Rights
bills, as it has in the. past. The
combination also should be able
to defeat legislation calculated to
strengthen labor interests. But
it is by no means assured that
the Southerners will ''go along
on foreign policy or federal re-
form measures sponsored by Re-
publicans. And their interest in
Red infiltration is at somewhat
less than fever heat. This is in
dicated by their lack of enthu-
siasm for the Republicar-instigat-
ed campaign to expose Com
munists and fellow-travelers sup
posedly infesting the State De-
partment.

Forecasts Boost
I'm Prices For
Dairy Products

Additional price increases for
milk and dairy products appear
unavoidable despite voluntary
price standards suggested by the
Economic Sterilization Agency
and the desire of the dairy in
dustry to hold the line, it was
forecast today by o. E. Ander-
son, Executive Secretary of the
Ohio Dairy Products Association.
Conflicting Federal policies ard
regulations, as well as certain
economic factors beyond the con-
troll of dairy companies, may force
these increases, Anderson pointed
out
In explaining this situation, the
following points were made:
/. Under the Defense Produc.
ton Act passed by Congress car
lier this year, ceiling prices on
farm products cannot be set at
less than parity. Parity is STAN
dard calculated by Congress 10
give farmers an income equal to
other groups of citizens. No dairy
product has reached a parity level
as yet; and milk is still selling at
an average of approximately &c
per quart below prices that pre-
vailed in most of Ohio in 1948.
2. Ten major cities in Ohio OPP
crate under Federal Milk Market
Orders. These Orders set manda-
tory prices that dairies must pay
for milk. These prices are based
on the prices of butter, cheese,
milk powder or evaporated milk
and have been increasing rather
rapidly during the last 2 months.
Thus, milk dealers find about 500
of their operating costs rigidly
controlled by Government edict
Because of competition for milk
supplies, dealers in monk Federai-
Order markets find it necessary to
pay similar prices. TBe
3. Milk production has drop
ped sharply throughout Ohio dur
ing the last month. This is due
to adverse weather conditions and
a continued decline in dairy cat
tie population. If this trend con-
tinues, as in all probability it will
until next spring, the prices paid
to farmers doubtless will continue
to increase. This upward trend
could continue until the price
paid farmers for milk reaches
the parity level set by law.
A. Prices of meat animals al
ready have passed the parity
level. Farmers, therefore, may
find il more profitable to turn
to beef cattle and hogs in many
sections of Ohio. This would fur

often have despaired of ever
reaching his diamond goal and
a sore-arm climax in 1949 which
forced his retirement from the
game, apparently for good.
The near-fictioral episodes, and
the build-up to what looks like
the happy ending, relate a Merri-
we'll comeback during the past
season which placed him right on
the brink of a bright baseball
future in the big leagues.
Between the pages lies a war
time experience in his life story
which the 26-year old Redleg
would like to forget. Jim fought
his way with the Seventh Armor-
ed division through France, Bel
giun, Holland, and the Ardennes
into Germany where he fell into
enemy hands in 1914. The NaZi,
retreating under Allied pressure,
marched Jim ard his fellow pris-
oners practically from one end of
Germany to the other until Black
burn finally dropped from ex-
haustion and was interned at Sta
lag Alb. There his toenails were
forcibly removed with pliers and
he underwent various forms of
violent physical treatment until
liberated by the American 69th
Division early in 1945. 1t appeared
a certainty at that time his base
ball career would be an unfulfill-
ed dream.
But Blackburn refused to ac-
cept the verdict and in 1916 he
was pitching with the Reds class
A team at Columbus, S. c., in the
Sally League. His performance
with that club during the next
three years was creditable and
Jim was working his way up the
hard way. He was recalled by the
Reds midway in the '48 season
and it must have seemed that his
life's ambition had been realized
until the arm ailment forced him
to retire from the game in 1949
and he faced the discouraging pro-
spects of making another come
back.
But come back he did! When
his arm felt strong as ever in the
Spring of 1850, he was placed
under the wing of AL Vincent,
skipper of the Reds Tulsa club
in the Texas League who has
groomed many a bright apprentice
for the parent Redlegs.
Blackburn toyed with a slider
in Spring practice and, with an
assist from Vincent, developed the
pitch as the season progressed.
But that's not all Vincent devel-
oped in the youngster. Al orce
again exercised his. great talent
for boosting his players conf
denee and in Jim's own words
he really made me feel I was as
good as any pitcher in the league.
And as subsequent events proved,
he was.
"Al used TO let me run my own
ball game" Jim continues. When
/ wanted to throw my slider, I
moved my infielders and just
knowing Al had that much con-
fiderce in me gave me a mental
boost.
The final chapter of The Black
burn Story is yet to be written
but the odds are heavily in favor
Of the chances of its being a typ
ical HOLLYWOOD hannu ending.

MANY ISSUES
TALKED OVER
BY TRUMAN
Discusses Excise Profits Tax
Korean Situation
Meetings on Peace

WASHINGTON. Aug. 10 - R -
President Truman said today he
would accept an excess profits tax if
voted by Congress, but added that
such controversial proposals should
be put off until the next Congress
meets.
He conceded that an excess profits
tax-which he has not asked for
would be voted eventually. But he
said he preferred it to come when
Congress is over the election filters.
He repeated that he had asked
for tax increases which he believed
could be enacted quickly and that
an excess profits levy is very con-
troversial.
The President also told his news
conference that Jacob Malik, So
Wet representative on the United
Nations Security Council, is con-
Quoting a filibuster on Korea, and
it is a filibuster against the Rus
sins themselves principally.
Optimistic on Korea
Replying to another question, he
said he is optimistic on the Korean
military situation. He said he is
taking his advice from US. military
leaders and he is as optimistic as
they are.
A reporter remarked that Gen.
eral Douglas Macarthur had COM
planned that defeatists and appeas-
ers are working against him. The
President said he had not met any
one of that sort yet and empha-
sized he and Macarthur are in COM
plete agreement.
He said he put Macarthur in the
Japan job and also made him Com
mander in Chief of the U.N. Forces
in Korea, and is satisfied with what
he is doing.
Peace Conference
The President once more rejected
the idea of meeting of heads OF
state on the question of peace.
Asked whether the US. would ap-
prove high level" meetings II
Trygve Lie, U.N. Secretary General,
took the initiative, he replied that
this had not been put up to him
yet and would comment when and
if it is.
A reporter putting this question
quoted Lie as saying the real crisis
would come after the Korean war is
ended and that high level meet
ings would be necessary to work out
a solution.
The President said he would favor
ANYTHING that would contribute to
world peace.

CONTROLS
TO TRUMAN
BY HOUSE
Measure Passed, Sent 70
Senate Wages, Prices
Rdtioning Included I

WASHINGTON, Aug. 10-R-T The
House passed today bill giving
broad authority to President Trli-
man to start rationing and clamp
ceilings on prices and wages.
The home front controls bill went
to the Senate. already debating g
similar measure. s
1t contains more power than the
President asked, but no more than
he has indicated he would accept.
The roll call vote on final passage
was 1888 to IL.
Presumably Mr.. Truman would
make no immediate use of price
wage-rationing controls. as he didn't
ask for them originally.
He could be expected to apply
first the sections of the bill he did
request, those, for instance. provid-
ing for production priorities for de-
tense contracts, and for channeling
scarce materials into defense cham
nels.
The House okayed the bill after
six days of wrangling and legislative
flip flops.
The House bill would empower
Mr.. Truman to:
l. Put ceilings on wages and
prices. either separately or jointly
whenever he wants. Wages would
be stabilized at the levels of May
24-June "a this year. In pegging
prices, the President would have to
give due consideration" to levels u
that period.
2. Order rationing of anything he
thinks ought to be rationed, and
at wholesale or retail levels.
3. To allocate scarce materials.
4. Require top priorities for de-
tense contracts.
S. Requisition materials or equip
ment for the defense program.
6. Make defense production loans
up to total of $4,000, 000,0 600.
7. Control credit, with some re-
strictions.
All authority would expire next
June 80.
