PERISHABLE FOODS A PROBLEM

The present farm price support program has been bitterly criticized because of the burning of Irish pota and the huge surpuses that have been built up in dried eggs.
 When it was plain that the present plan creating chaos the suggestion made by Secretary of Agri culture Charles F. Grammar that some plan should be adopted in connection with the pershable products of agriculture
 Mr. Grammar proposed that the producer be allowed to sell his perishable products in free market for whatever price he could get The Federal Government instead of buying up the supply at guaranteed price, would pay the producer the difference between the market price and predetermined level of support
 The advantage of such plan, when applied to per- ishabe products, is that it would eliminate storage problems and the creation of surplus that must be given away destroyed In addition, the price of per- ishable products would be lower the market, thus enabling consumers to buy them more freely.

SMUGGLERS VALUE GOLD

When the United States devaued the dollar and be- gan acquiring most of the worlds gold there ex- perts this country who speculated upon the possib ity that eventually would have all the gold and it would have no value anywhere alse.
 This time is not in sight Recently, customs agents arrested two men who apparently engaged in gold smuggling They had on their persons, hid- den in brief cases shoes and around them gold worth approximately $750OO in this country at $35 ounce However, the officials pointed out that in the foreign black market the yellow metal is bringing from two to three times it's price in the United States.
 Last year. something like $37 900 in gold bullion disappeared from the United States. Customs agents have been very active in recent months looking for the smugglers In September four arrested about to leave the United States by arpane with $5OOOO in gold in their luggage In London last month three men arrived planes from New York and were discovered with 62,000 worth of gold bars in their baggage.

Santa s:: ;;: COWBOY A,x.x,..,v,.. By LUCRECE HUDGlNS
By lUCRECE HUDClNS

"Please, sir," said Bucky in his most polite voice. "I am running a race to save Santa Land from the Jindians."
 "Oh," cried the giant. q have already met the boy you race. He could not cross my walls of fire and I have imprisoned him for ever. If you can cross the walls you will win the race. But if you do not cross them you, too, shall be my prisoner"
 "Show me the walls!" cried Bucky eagerly.
 The giant pointed behind him. There stood three walls, one be- yond the other, each one higher than the one before. The first wall was a flaming blue, the second a jagged edged yellow. and the third was a scorching red with tongues of flame licking at the sky.
 Without a word Bucky charged at the wall of blue. Up and over went Fellow in a jump that car ried them over the wall.
 But the second wall was higher. Over the top went Fellow, but the heat of the flaming color burned Bucky's cheeks and the jump was made with no room to spare.
 They came to the third wall, Up, up rose Fellow while Bucky chung to his back and made a mighty prayer. The horse leaped clear, though his skin was scared and his mane singed from his neck. ~
 Still they had leaped the three walls and were safe. Bucky shout ed happily and galloped on his way. But suddenly he wheeled in Fellow and came to a halt.
 There beside him lay Lone some Boy and his horse. The, giant had tied them up with ropes of colored light and left them there to die.
 "'I have as good as won the race!!" thought Bucky. And San ta Land is saved!"
 He started to ride away. But there was no joy in his heart. "ItS no kind of race like this," he told himself. So he leaped from his horse and ran back to Lone some Boy. ,!
 "I'll unite you," he said. And we'll finish the race fair and square,"
 Next: The End of the Race)

CHAPTER TEN THE GIANT OF THE LIGHTS

HE GIANT Of HE LIGHTS
 Bucky galloped his wonderful horse toward the Northern Lights. But no matter how swiftly he rode he never seemed to get closer to the great shafts of spark ling color.
 At first the lights seemed to be at the endge of Santa Land but Bucky passed far beyond Santa Land and still the lights lay far ahead. If you have ever set out to find the end of a rainbow you know how it was with Bucky Though the rainbow seems to end of the other side of town you may travel all days long and never find the pot of gold that some people say is buried at the rain bows end.
 Fast as Bucky went, the Jindi- an boy had gone faster still, for he was nowhere to be seen. It was wild and lonesome rid for the little cowboy.
 Through the whole long day he rode the horse that never seemed to tire. But Bucky tired and final ly fell asleep on the horses back. When he awoke it was night and he was surrounded by tongues of flaming light that darted at him, cracking fiercely like lightning. He was in the midst of the North ern Lights!
 The horse shied from right to left, reared on his hind legs, whinnied shrilly in fear and as- tonishment.
 "On Fellow" shouted Bucky, snapping the reins. Keep on!'
 And the horse tore on through lIlS 1OI CSI u 11SlIIS. u "oS 1AAC OS- ing on a merry go round in a scary house during thunder storm. Curtains of bluish-green pink and yellow lights fluttered everywhere. Spurts of light rose like whiffs of smoke.
 Buck thought only of urging Fellow on faster. But suddenly a giant of many col0rs stood in his path.
 "Who goes there?" roared the giant. Bucky's blood. ran cold to see the awful creature with pur- pie face, green ears and orange hair. Tn his hands the giant held one hundred strands of color that sizzled and cracked and coiled across the sky.

If Forced From Korea; U. IN. Will Return To Fight
Continued from Page One)

of the long-range struggle "to up- hold the values of peace and jus tice and freedom"
 Beyond stressing the tremen- dous odds the U. N. forces face, MT. Truman made no assessment of the Korean situation.
 And against the talk of a pos sible evacuation of the troops there, some of the best informed officials are saying it is still too early to predict what will actually happen or that the U. N. forces will have to get out of Korea en- tirely.
 MT. Truman and Prime Minis ter Attlee reviewed the situation Monday with Gen. Omar Bradley chairman of the Joint Chief of Staff, in the first of their crisis talks. Bradley is reported to have told them that evacuation plans are ready if they have to be used.
 In his address to the conference on children and youth, the Presi- dent said that the intervention of Chinese communists in Korea had greatly changed the situation confronting this nation. Then, in a sentence interpreted by some officials as his first move to pre- part the country for bad news news of a military diater in Ko- rea-the President added:
 "No matter how the immediate situation may develop, we must remember that the fighting in Ko- req is but one part of the tremen- dous struggle of our time - the struggle between freedom and communist imperialism"
 MT. Truman and Attlee reached no agreement in their opening talk yesterday but diplomatic in- formants reported they were moving toward an agreement that Western Europe is the place to offset communist victories in the Far East.
 As far as the present military situation is concerned, it is un- derstood that the President and Prime Minister dealt with three alternatives and found themSelvs facing a choice between complete and partial defeat in their initial analysis.
 The idea of establishing and holding a line across the Korean peninsula appears almost, if not entirely hopeless.
 There was still some belief on the part of American leaders, however, that it might be possible again as it was earlier this year to maintain a foothold on Korea. This would be justified if there was reason to expect a new build up of U. N. forces capable of deal ing with the Chinese communist masses and so far there is no evil dence such buildup is planned.
 The other possibility which bigger with each days news of new Chinese communist successes on the battlefield is complete military defeat for the U. N forces.

LONDON, Aug. 25.-The Mos
COW radio reported today that
Russian Baptist leaders, in a pro-
test to the United Nations Secur-
ity Council over American action
in Korea, had labeled President
Truman "pseudo-C Christian"
The Baptists called for support
/ of Russia's August 4 proposal to
the Council that foreign troops be
recalled from Korea. Two similar
appeals. also heard over Moscow

government and the head of the
Armenian Church.
The Baptists' message, signed
by the chairman and general sec
retary of the All-Union Council
of Evangelical Christian Baptists
of the U. S. S. r., declared:
Our indignation at American
hostilities against the Korean peo-
Iple is increased by the realization
that these actions are being COM

tive of the American Baptist
Church.
