95 Percent of Farm
Homes Have Electricity

With almost 95 per cent of today's
farm homes now having electricity
an increase of more than so per
cent in 10 transformers today are
running the city cousins close race
in equipping their places with every
thing from coasters and trimmerS
to thermostats and television.
A recent study of the buying hab-
its of the American farmer showed
that electric ranges. dishWashers,
refrigerators, laundry equipment,
clothes dryers and coasters, and
automatic heating systems we're be-
coming standard items in most
homes served by rural electrifica-
ton systems. More than 100000
families installed thermostat-con-
trolled heating systems from l947
through l949
The study also indicated a close
relationship between electrification
and general home Improvement on
farms. For example, approximately
$10,000,000 was spent from July,
1947, to December, 1913. alone for
farm-home modernization.
Approxim ately 100000 OF the
100000 occupied farms and almost
100000 of the occupied rural
dwelling will soon have electricity.

Propaganda Hurts

Reports from behind tn e iron
curtain indicate that one reason for
the seizure of AP correspondent
William Oats by Czechoslovakia
was that American propaganda
through the Voice of America and
Radio Free Europe is hurting.
When the Commies want to get
something out of the U.S.A., their
crudeSt but most successful tech
nique is to seize an American citi-
zen, and hold him as a hostage
until we come across with the ran
som money.
The reported ransom money in
Czechoslovakia is to curtail the
Voice of America and Radio Free
Europe, both really hurting the
Communist government. In fact,
the Voice of America has had the
Czech government in state of jit-
tiers.
Before Foreign Minister Clemen-
tbs was purged, the voice made a
categoric prediction that he and
eight other top Czechs would be
arrested. For weeks, the voice
pounded home this prediction, Civ
ing the exact names of the prospec-
tive victims The Czechs listened
but were skeptical.
Then suddenly Clements was
arrested With him were ar
rested four of the eight others
the Voice of America had
name d. All Czechoslovakia
seethed at the news. The ac-
curacy of the Voice of America
was commented on everywhere,
and its listening audience has
double d. More than ever,
Czechs are tuning in on the
voice to see who will be purged
next.
Note-Despite the state depart
mcnt's remarkable propaganda job,
| the budget of the Voice of America
and other propaganda projects has
been slashed to ribbons. Congress-
men who have been doing the slash
ing have been invited to come to
the state department briefing room
and get the story-much of it con-
fidcntial-of what the department
is doing. However, only two or
| three have bothered to get ac-
quaintcd with the activities of the
agency whose work they pass upon.

Dressy General

When this column told how Gen.

force in the Caribbean, had sent
his plane all the way from Ecuador
to Panama to get his dinner jacket
for a dinner given him by the
Ecuadorian defense minister, the
US. air force queried Kiel, wanting
to know if the Pearson story" was
accurate.
Gen. Kiel replied that he had
sent plane back from Ecuador to
Panama, but that he had not sent

However, officials of the defense

Oregon Showdown

OREGON MAY be the show down
~ state where General Eisen-
hover finally makes up his mind
whether "to run or not to rum
and on what ticket.
The situation in Oregon was out
lined to 1ke's political chief-of-staff,
Sen. Jim Duff of Pennsylvania, the
other day by Robert Let's Jones,
publisher of the Salem, Ore, Capital
Journal. Jones pointed out tn
Oregon has primary ruling
whereby any person can be en-
tered in the race by a petition Of
1000 whether the can
didate wants his name entered or
not.
Thus EisenhoWer's name could
be entered in the Oregon presiden-
tial primary by 1000 of his friends,
entirely without his consent, and
as a means of testing out his polit-
ical strength.
The Oregon primary has an
other interesting angle, Jones
explained to Senator Duff. The
state attorney general has
ruled that no candidate can run
unless his party affiliation is
known, thus Eisenhower would
be forced, at that time, to be
stamped either as a Republi-
can or a Democrat.
Since the Oregon primary is May
16 and since all names have to be
filed ninety days in advance, the
showdown for Eisenhower would be
sometime in February.
Note-It's a good bet that Ike's
friends-and he has a lot in the
northwest - will toss his hat into
the ring through the Oregon pri-
mary.

Macarthur Report

President Truman is pressing
Democratic senators to write a re-
port on the Macarthur investiga-
ton. They had planned to forget
about a report, because they feared
a majority would not agree to
blasting Macarthur. However, the
President believes Chairman Dick
Russell of Georgia is honest enough
to accept the evidence, which most
observers consider to have been
clearly and overwhelmingly against
Macarthur.

direction of the village.

They approached the place where
Peter Harcourt had climbed the
fence the night before. Bates
clamped on the brakes and the
car skidded to a halt. Out" Ben

HARcoURT stood up and threw
down his screwdriver as Benbow
came up with the prisoner.
"When?" he said to Redhead.
Wouldn't you like to know"
"Yes.'" Harcourt jumped down
to the track. He took the hand
cuff from Benbow and snapped it
shut on a link of chain hanging
down from the side of the car be-
side him. There you are and
there you stay" he said. "You

which he so greatly despised. Har-

DEATH AT ATTENTION
Continued from page thirteen

If you want to answer the ques-
tions, wave your hand. We shall
be watching you with field glasses.
Redhead opened his mouth and
words poured from his lips; dreary,
blasphemous words. Harcowt and
Benbow left him to his blasphemy
and hurried away across the pas
ture in the sunshine.
When they reached the village
Bates was waiting for them in the
garden of the public house. He had
put a table and two chairs close to
the hedge so that they could sit
and watch in comfort. He had
cooked breakfast. 1t was laid

James Benbow poured two cups
of tea with luxurious deliberation,

police would never handcuff a man
to a train that might explode and

but neither you nor ! are fanatics.
The man looked to me like a born
martyr. / think he's the kind that
would keep his mouth shut even
ifhe were sure he was going to die"
lHE loaded minutes ticked by.
James Benbow, thinking back to
his own emotions during the long
night that had passed, imagined
what Redhead had to be feeling
and wondered. ITO be blown to
pieces must be about the quickest
death that could be devised" he
said, lighting a cigarette and pour
ing himself a third cup of tea. Il
wonder why it's so beastly to
contemplate"
Harcourt answered authorita-
lively. He was specialist in the
subject. Il think it's the. thought
of mutilation. Violence. Being
blasted into eternity. Most of US
want to die in bed with our boots
off; to have time to think about
it." He glanced toward the rail-
way where the figure of the sabo-
teur was just distinguishable to
the naked eye. That poor devil
must be sweating it out!"
A bleakness came into Benbow's
eyes. Let's not be sorry for him,
he said coldly. 1T is not his fault
that he failed to kill hundreds of
sailors and stevedores. He's going
to get off too lightly as it is. In
wartime we could shoot him, but
in this lukewarm contest we are
conducting at the moment we can
not. A police state would be less
scrupulous and more logical"
HARCoURT smiled wryly, then
gestured toward the thing under
the rosebush. Like me to go and
pop it back?" he asked.
Benbow smiled in return; a
tired smile full of self-knowledge.
