A new beauty is all ready
for it's coming-out party
Photographs by Brodley Smith

nv MONDAY, in San Francisco,
" a glamorous new member of
the rose family will make its debut.
The exclusive preview on this page
shows why the newcomer, called
Pink Magic. is considered sure bet
to be the belle of the ball at the
National Rose Show.
A result of hybridization. Pink
Magic is the creation of famed
Indiana rosarian Joseph H. Hill.
1t took Hill seven years Of Cross
pollenizing and cultivation before
the new beauty was ready. What
makes it so unusual besides the deli
cate color. is the large blossom and
definite. lasting fragrance.
HE parents of the new rose are
Snow White" and a sport of the
popular red rose, Better Times"
Twenty years ago Hill made one of
the greatest coups in rose-growing
history by introducing Better
Times" to replace the memorable
American Beauty, then dying out.
Because Americans are great rose
buyers - so million a year in New
York alone = it's safe to say that
Hill has another floral smash hit on
his hands. M. :. |.

port markets in the United
States but he did not consider
that the time was yet ripe for
this. For the most part, local
demand could not be satisfied
in the territorial and tourist
markets of the area and, more
over, the state of development
had not yet reached the high
level required for successful
marketing in the United
States. Unit prices in the Brit
ish territories, especially, were
high due to low labor produc-
tivity, poor methods of prepa-
ration, inefficient use of labor
and to certain other artificial
causes like high import duties
on materials used in the indus
try. A further important pre-
judicial factor is the very high
north-bound freight between
the Caribbean and the United
States as compared with the
southbound: $1.2O-70c US. per
Gu. It. northbound as against
35c US. southbound. There
was undoubtedly a good mar
ket in the United States, parti-
cularly for basketry as a result
of loss of supplies from China,
and there were good prospects
for developing a market for
fibre products if the unfavor-
able factors mentioned above
could be overcome.
In regard to basketry, an in
teresting development h as
been the recent revival of Ca
rib basketry in Trinidad and
Dominica. This was being
stimulated by an order placed
by the Alcoa Company with
the Tourist Board of Trinidad
for fifty satchels per week.
Distribution in the United
States could best be developed
by the fostering of active local
markets. These would serve to
attract buyers from the United

ton, Vice-President of the Ma
tional Council of American
Importers and a Member of
the Advisory Committee on
Imports to the US. Depart
ment of Commerce, on the in
vitation of the Chairman brief
ly addressed one of the Com
mittees of the Caribbean Com
mission now meeting here on
the possibilities Of the develop
ment of handicraft (cottage)
industries in the Caribbean.
Mr.. Leighton's talk was based
on his observations made dur
ing a tour of the British ter
ritories of the area arranged
under the auspices of Develop
ment and Welfare Organiza-
ton.
He pointed out that there
were certain contradictory fea
lures characterizing the pre-
sent stage of development of
handicrafts in the Caribbean.
There was good local demand
and also possibilities of limited
export but there are shortages
of materials and neglect to de-
velop the use of other more
readily available materials.
The most advanced territory
was Jamaica. There the fbres
in use were in good supply but
techniques were at a relative
ly low level of development:
the loom was not utilized nor
were articles such as rush rugs.

due concentration on hats and

an awakening of the creative

These latter were very respon

of new ideas.

WAR AGO, THE GRIM
PROSPECT WAS 4
HEADLONG RETREAT
TO THE PYRENEES
BY DANIEL DE LUCE
and
GEORGE BoULTWooD

WITH ALLIED FORCES IN
! GERMANY R-If Russia suddenly
! attacks. Allied commanders be-
heve they are strong enough now
| TO hold on the Rhine
A year ago, the grim prospect
was a headlong retreat TO the Ply
reneeS and the Brittany Peninsula
The idea that most of Europe
would have to be lost to Russia
before it could be saved is now
out of date.
| A massive buildup of Allied
ground forces in Germany has been
carried through, peacefully, in 1851
Troop strength has more than
doubled.
] The United States, for example,
had only 10000 combat electives
here at the start of the year. Now
there are 100000. The British are
we'll over 100000.
In the months Immediately
ahead, the big Western weakness
| in Germany is not on the ground
but in the air. The Russians have
more and better warplaneS here.
! In ground combat capability, the
Allies have reached parity with the
Soviet Army group in East Ger
many for the first time since 1945,
This was possible because no fresh
divisions were sent by the Krem-
lin to Gen. VASTLY ChuikOv. How
ever, some of his old divisions,
which were at 10 per cent of their
size on paper, have been increased
to IS per cent.
Of some 80 Soviet divisions in
East Germany, eight are artillery,
engineer and anti aircraft which
would be termed corps or army
troops by the West.
The IA strong Allied divisions in
West Germany, plus their corps
and army support. are considered
a match in size and firepower for
the % Soviet infantry and armored
divisions opposite them.
The Allies have more men in
Germany 100000 to RuSsia's
$40, 900. But the ratio of combat
personnel is figured at / TO /. be-
cause fewer Soviet troops, proper
tionately, are detailed TO supply
tasks.
Current intelligence indicates no
activity afoot to reinforce Chuikov
with more divisions in the near
future. A buildup is almost certain
to be noticed Immediately for mill
tary information seepS quickly and
accurately out of east Germany.
No Soviet divisions are stationed
in Czechoslovakia. Yet this would
seem to be a prerequisite for
real drive westward. Only Soviet
training mission is active there.
Presumably, too, the Russians
would bring second invasion wave
to Poland, before starting a big
show. This has not materialized.
Judged by its record in the last
war, the Soviet Supreme Command
would be most unlikely to launch
a deliberate Western attack until
over 100 divisions were forward in
Germany and Czechoslovakia. 1t
never dabbled with half-measures.
II deteStS stalemateS.
Some Allied officers call 1852
"RuSsia's year of decision. The
high ranking opinion goes this way:
They can't wipe us out now with
what they already have in position.
AS late as last summer, they could
have done just that - with scarce
ly an hours advance warning.

Let The People Suffer
TT is NOW freely admitted :

TT is NOW freely admitted - even by Paul
Il Blocks Blade and Times that Toledo
workers suffered enormous losses in wages
as result of our recent gas-shortage lay-offs.
In our estimation this loss in wages must run
well over million dollars. How much of
beating business and industry took will prob
ably never be known.
Nor can we ever estimate the cruel and in
human suffering that SO many of our people
had to experience because the Gas Company
failed in its obligation to community.
Gas Company officials, and those who sup
port them, may argue that all this loss, all
this suffering is the result of an "Act of God"
That is not true. 1t is the result of the negli-
gence and indifference of Gas Company Off
cials for the welfare of our people Mr. Ludwig,
Gas Company vice president, and everyone
else knows full well that these gas shortages
- recurring periodically, year after year
could be eliminated by simply improving their
service and storage facilities But that would
the fat profits of the Gas Company utility. So,
nothing is done. Profits come first, people and
their livlihood poor second
Our city officials must be aware of this
situation. The people must make them correct
this intOlerable and inhuman situation They
can do it and they know it,
AS for Paul Blocks Blade and Times -
well, how much proof must the people have
to realize that they care just as much for the
welfare of our people as do the Gas Company
big shots?
