Free Enterprise In Action

In recent review of last years corporate earnings
issued by the National City Bank of New York. this facua
observation is made Total volume of retail and whole
sale trade only slightly below the record level of 1948
but profit margins of most chan department. and special
ty Stores well wholesalers squeezed by high
operating costs
That simply that the stores haven't found it
possible to make keep with And
the obvious question u.s. why can't merchant SIMPLY raise
his selling prices to take of change in his costs?
The point is that that is easier said than done. And
one of the main why that should be true is the
competitive situation. Retailing is about perfect an
example of the workings of free economy be
imagined. The stores-big and little ones-chain-
owned and individually in constant compet-
ton for business The consumer the mass, decides
whether any store shall succeed wind up under the
sheriff's hammer He take his trade wherever he
pleases So the inevitable result is that every merchant
tries to sell little cheaper to make his advertising and
displays little compelling, to do something else
that will win him consumer favor and patronage.
Under these conditions several things happen Profits
bound to be extremely modes-competition to
that Service is bound to be good-competiton to
that too And Misrepresentation and shady practices
at absolute mnimum-once more, competition does
the trick.
The retailers you patronze living examples of free
enterprise in action.

Shoe Industry Has
Nothing New In
Last Half Century

Lady, your Spring shoes may be
nothing but toe and four-inch
heel, or merely a laced-up buckle
and you'll still be style conserva-
tive.
Nothing that the shoe industry
has dreamed up in the last half
century can match the footwear
of our ances tors, who really
stepped high and wide, if not hand
some, according to William H.
Dooley, writer for The World
Book Encyclopedia, and author of
the book, History of Costume"
Dooley reports that the peak of
shoe fashion in the 130O's was the
"crakow," which had toe so long
and pointed that it required chain
to hold it up so the wearer could
walk. Pointed toes had been re-
garded as a mark of distinction
from early Roman times, and the
aristocratic Frenchwoman of the
17OVs favored a slipper with a
sharply pointed toe, and slender
heel that threw her foot up to
nearly a 60 degree angle.
Two centuries earlier, in the
reign of Queen Elizabeth of Eng
land, a little model called the
"duckbill" featured wide soles--
the wider the better. A law finally
was passed to limit the width to
five and one-half inches. It was at
about this time that members of
the wooden shoe set literally Gift
ed themselves by their bootstraps."
Their footgear had iron rings at
tached, to that the wearerS could
use them to pull their feet out of
the mud.
The shape of the human foot had
very little to do with the creations
of cobblers of the Middle Ages.
Emphasis was on decoration and
unusual effects-and let the corns
and bunions come where they may.
And while our ancestors may
have known which way they were
going, they couldn't tell one foot
from the other-not from looking
at their shoes, that is. Right and
left shoes did not become popular
until the 1850s.

Carver Demonstration Second To None

Many of us who fortunate enough to be present
at the coorful pageant the Masque of the Yellow Moon

Friday Evening at the Montgomery Stadium should have
been happy and satisfied with the part played by
boys and girls Of Carver High School,
Their brilliant demonstrations really something
to be proud Of Surely who fought to do away with
Carver after witnessing last Friday nights performance
have acknowledged to themselves that after all it
better improve the school where is than to wait
for ntegration which they realize by is probably
far into the future
We forced to admit that Carver is fast becoming

of through prejudice either lack of interest have

Grass Becomes Human Food

Something like one-haf of the total land of the
nation-nearly billion acres-is in range land and
pasture Most Of this would be almost entirely unpro
ductive if it not for livestock growing The meat
animals the grass which the range lands produce
and so through the alchemy of nature this otherwise
useless becomes steaks and chops and roas and the
rest of the meats we buy.
Here is particularly striking example of the livestock
industrys contribution to the country. And in addition
the animals approximately 85 cent of all
grain crops Millions of of commercial by-products
such sugarbeet pulp and ol-seed cake, go to them
The point is that livestock growing helps the whole
to waste into food for people, by restoration of the soil
and in various other ways. Finally when meat animals
list of valuable byproduc made of horns and hoofs and
hair and other nedble commodities, in addition to the
meat.
Looking at the matter from the viewpoint of farmer
and rancher meat animals constitute agricultures largest
single source of cash income The market always there
day and day out ready to pay the going price The
livestock industry benefits everyone

Friday. August II. 1850

Pohang, No. U. S. supply base on the east coast of South Korea, fell in flames today to a ferocious communist assault, and the Reds brought their artillery within range of the American airstrip, six miles to the south. CPS battled hand-to-hand with the invaders virtually on the rim of the strip.
 But on the central sector, Gen. MacArthur's headquarters an nounced, all communist bridge heads across the Naktong River save one have been wiped out, easing the threat to Taegu, key inland U. s. base The one bridge head, however, still posed a mighty menace The communists had poured some 5000 infantry soldiers into it, despite heavy air and artillery attacks, attempting to expand the salient near Changn- yong, 29 miles southwest of Tae- gu.
 Despite the black developments on the fighting fronts in South Korea and the deterioration of the international situation, President Truman will not seek passage of a universal military training bill at this session of Congress-, the White House announced. The an- nouncement said he felt pressure for it at this time would interfere with other vitally needed legisla- ton related to Korean War needs.
 Loss of Pohang by the Ameri- cans and South Koreans took away the east Korean base where the U. s. First Cavalry Division made the first amphibious landing of the war. It had been second

 Inland on the central front an American staff office" called the Reds Naktong River bui1dup the greatest massed concentration per mile on the whole l4O-mile battle perimeter. The Red Fourth Divi- sion stroke desperately to enlarge it's bridgehead across the Naktong on the southern flank of the com munist line. Ae least two Red regiments, possibly 5000 men, crossed today, supported by tanks and some heavy artillery.
 On the Chinju front in the south Red troops slowed down their re- treat and struck back at the Americans, whose main positions were six miles from the commun- ist base. On the southern wing of the U. s. attack, the Reds made two co-ordinated attacks backed by heavy artillery fire. Behind the advance. Red troops trapped in 100-square-mile area by the june ture of U. S. columns fought des- perately to beat their way out and suffered heavy casualties.
 In the air, U. s. navy carrier pi- lots Wednesday and Thursday strafed 20 enemy troops concen- trations, destroyed tanks and blew up five bridges. Marine fliers gave support at Chinju and reported a heavy toll of enemy infantry and installations.

 Farther north on the river 900 enemy dead were counted after South Koreans drove another Red force back across the river. The Reds own artillery fire was re- ported turned on them to make them fight ahead.
 A gamble by the U. s. 9th Army commander, It. Gen. Walton H. Walker, was paying off. In order to launch the drive in the south he had thinned out the Naktong River line, and spread five South Korean divisions across the north ern front. He concentrated power for the offensive which drove the North Koreans back to Chinju, and Pusan, the main American supply base, was safe again.
 Hundreds of Reds retreated so fast toward Chinju that they abandoned quantities of arms and equipment. The U. s. Fifth Regi- mental combat team spurted 13 miles to join forces with the 35th Regimental combat team, closing a pincers on a 100-square mile area in which remnants of two Red battalions were trapped. Meanwhile, to the south, U. s. Ma rines plunged down peninsula and entered Kosong, securing the shores of Chinhae Bay.
 Once again Allied fighter planes lashed the enemy along the fronts with rockets and machinegun fire.
 Seventy Superfortresses from Japan and Okinawa pounded North Korea's rail and oil center of Wonsan in the most powerful strike to date in the Korean War. The big bombers did spectacular damage at the Chosen Korean) Oil Refinery. The raid, which dropped 625 tons of bombs on the targets, did extensive damage to the communist war potential" the Far East air forces command an- nounced.
 Other Allied bombers and fight CTS hit wide assortment of mili- tary objectives including rail yards, bridges and communica- tions behind the Reds lines.

 At the edge. of the air base-al- ready abandoned by the Mustang fighters which had been taking off at 10 minute intervals in sup port of ground troops-the CTS fought for their lives against a surprise envelopment, but com- munist mortar fire crept steadily ahead.
 Black smoke columns poured from Pohang, burning from the fierce battle. The fall of the city was announced late Friday night, Korean time, when Eighth Army headquarters said no friendly troops were left inside the port. Fighter planes from other bases ripped into the enemy in defense of the strip they had to abandon.
 On the central front along the Naktong River, the Reds put thou sands of troops across into their salients and weer reported build ing up four or five divisions-pos- sibly 10000 men-for power blow at Taegu, key base for de- lending United Nations forces.
 On the southern front the U. S. 9th army reported North Korean Reds were abandoning the Chinju base. This report seemed at vari- ance with others that the Reds weer digging in west of the base for a fanatical stand against the creeping advance of U. s. marines and -doughboys.
 At Pohang, 55 miles north of Pusan, the main American supply base, Red forces held a ridge only BIZ miles from the runway from whence Mustang fighters had been taking off every ten minutes for rocket and strafing blows at the enemy.
 The Pohang battle was a wild one, started by mountaineering Reds supported by guerrillas- perhaps 5000 men in all.
 The seriousness of the situation was indicated by the arrival there of It. Gen. Walton H. Walker, U. S. 9th Army commander, and Maj. Gen. Earle Partridge, U: s. 5th Air Force commander, who flew over the battle zone in small ob- servation plane.
