OPS set next March as the target N
writing up to 500 regulations that will
cover almost all of the nations indus
try.
Prices and Taxes
In the meantime, it appeared Ger.
tain that price increases will follow
excise tax boosts included in the new
$5,69l 100000 tax bill passed by Con-
gress in the waning hours of the 1851
session of the 82nd Congress.
There will be higher taxes on motor
vehicles-passenger cars, motorcycles,
trucks, and buses, ali going up three
per cent of the manufacturer price.
There's a new 10 per cent tax on a
variety of household appliance
clothes driers, door chimes, dishwash.
ers, floor poliShers, electric garbage
disposal units and lawn mowers. You
can also figure on paying more for
golf clubs, bowling balls and tennis
racquets-the tax is going up from 10
to is per cent on them.
Dollars and Cents Ceilings
Price stabilizers also have to wrestle
with the long controversy in Congress
over changes in the Defense Produc-
ton Act in their efforts to reduce
prices. Specifically involved is the
Capehart Amendment which directs
OPS to allow manufacturers addi-
tional cost increases in figuring their
new ceilings.
OPS aides said some of the upward
adjustments made heretofore in prices
were necessary to correct inequities
resulting from the general freeze or

The Choice
There is common talk around Gen.
Matthew B. Ridgway'S Tokyo head
quarters that should the armistice ne
gotiations prove finally fruitless, U.N.
troops will push to the line in Korea
along the narrow waist running east
across the peninsula from Pyongyang
to Wonsan.
Heavy Notifications would have to
be installed on the line, but it
wouldn't be the only case of a politi-

der issued last January" They added
that they hoped OPS is done with
rolling forward" prices.
Price adjustments upward are not
likely to disappear entirely. Some will
be necessary to allow fair prices as
required by law.
Dollars and cents ceilings will be
4the aim in the new price revisions. If
these are not practicable, OPS can use
a straight freeze of prices at some
suitable base period, a modified freeze
that would lend itself to adjustments,
or a formula-type regulation which
would set ceilings on the basis of some
markup over certain cost elements.

by sheer force. This tactic, which
worked so well against the Chinese
Nationalist, has proven complete
failure against U.N. fire power.
The Reds have recently broken
their armies into small units.
Heavy Artillery Toll
On the U. S. First Cavalry Division

Second Infantry Division was fighting
to take 'Heartbreak Ridge" the Reds
singled out one unit at a time and
tried to wipe it out. This was almost
successful both times, but the injured
units were quickly replaced and holes
in the U.N. line were plugged.

TKTHILE the Soviet Union this
wv week continued series Of
atomic tests, the U. S. set off q
baby, A-bomb in Nevada that ap-
peared to usher in a new age Of
nuclear weapons.
The White House declined to 60 into
detail about the Russian blasts In an
nouncing Soviet atomic explosions,
Press Secretary Joseph Short has con-
fined himself to terse, matter-of-fact
statements. He has used both the
term bomb" and the word Tex
plosion" but has refused to indicate
If use Of the two words was inten-
tional.
Desired Data Obtained
Despite the lack Of specific informa-
tion, most observers believed the So
Wet Union has made considerable
progress in her experiments with
atomic bombs The United States has
made a point Of informing the free
world of every Russian blast.
DR.. Alvin c. Graves, who heads the
scientists working on a small A.
weapons program, said this week that
desired scientific data has been OBJ
tained' in the latest u. S. atomic
tests.
Pocket A-BOmbS
To some observers at this weeks
Nevada experiments, the blasts looked
like pocket versions of the original
explosions at Alamagordo, N. NJ, on
July is, 1945.
Judging from DR.. Graves remarks,
the tests apparently show that the
u. S. is making headway on tactical
atomic weapons such as artillery
shells with atomic warheads.

White House vs.. Congress

Wnlfe rloUSe VS.. congress
BY the time it concluded its $780,
O00,000,000 1851 session, the S2nd Con-
gress had given President Truman a
fairly rough time on domestic issues
but had proven cooperative in the
Held of international affairs.
The sEendingest congress in peace
time history (the United States not
being formally at war in Korea)
hiked taxes $5,691, 100000 instead of
$1000O,0O0,OO0 as President Truman
requested. AS Congressman left Wash
ington, there were reports tnat the
President would insist on some taxes
next year. Congressional sentiment
then will probably be strongly op-
posed.
Presidential SetbackS
Taxation wasn't the only field in
which the President Jared poorly with
Congress.
He got far less than he wanted in
economic control legislation. He got
nothing at all in the way of compul-
sorry health insurance. He and some of
his top government executives got a
lot of criticism from congressional in
vestigations that ranged from the fir
ing of General Macarthur to the
workings of big league baseball. Two
Illinois judicial nominations which
President Truman made without
agreement of Sen. Paul Douglas 3D.
I'D were blocked outright in the
Senate. twenty-five other presiden-
tial appointments for government
posts were left without Senate con-
firmation. The Presidents civil rights
program was ignored.
Congressional Cooperation
In the field of national defense and
international relations, the Presidents
program of military and economic aid
to non-Communist nations was con-
tinued, although Congress cut slightly
more than a billion dollars from the
original $8,500.0O0,00O project re-
quested by the White House.
1t also went along with his request
that the draft law be extended, with a
lowering Of the induction age and an
increase in the period of forced serv-
ice. Congress compromised on Uni
Versal Military Training, approving
UNIT in principle but deferring its
actual operation until later act.
the Truman Administration suf-
fered its share of setbacks from the
82nd Congress, but some oldtime
Washington observers were ready to
call it a draw.

he WS) This WEEK
A: How Strong Are the Chinese Reds?

a u. S. colonel stood in the val
Alley north of the Kumsong
River in Korea. Near him, tanks
of his regiment sat low in the
grass, their cannon and machine
guns blowing smoke and flames
as they fired into Red-held hills
ahead.
Overhead, American planes circled.
Suddenly they tipped their noses
downward and, machine guns and
rocket-launchers squirting fire,
screamed in on Chinese emplace-
ments.
''ThoSe Chinese are fighting hard,
but think we've got them on the
rum" said the colonel.
He expressed a sentiment that
gained ground rapidly this week
among U. S. Eighth Army officers.
Many of them believe the Commu-
nists are incapable Of mounting an
other major offensive IN Korea no
matter how the cease fire talks work
out. They say this is the reason the
Reds have been willing to offer and
accept compromises in the armistice
negotiations.
Many Still Die
Veteran Red troops, however, still
holed up in bunkers as a biting wind
whistled across the front. They made
the fighting bitter for American in
fantrymen who were forced to move
up and exterminate them one by one.
United Nations soldiers still scattered
when Communist mortar fire opened
up. Many died. In the air Red jets
still appeared in force. But a sudden
change in Communist battle tactics
indicates that they are badly hurt.
U. S. officers say the radical changes
in Red fighting tactics of the past
month have convinced them that the
Chinese Communists have given up
all plans to try for another break
through with the human sea wave
Of troops that failed them last April
and May.
Then the Reds massed a hundred
thousand troops in one sector and
rushed them, wave after wave, into
one position, hoping to break through

Science
Virus Against Virus

' - ~ Ststt~A tAsee
Lifelong protection against certain
virus diseases, including epidemic
iaundice, measles and polio may be
possible in the future.
DR.. Joseph Stokes, Jr., University
of Pennsylvania pediatrics professor
says such protection may come from
injections Of active viruses following
doses of a protective substance found
in human blood and called gamma
globulin.
DR.. Stokes emphasized that the Va.
lidity Of such an inmunization tech-
nique remains to be proven. Its possi-
bilities have been suggested by the
apparent" success Of new studies on
human outbreaks Of epidemic hepas
tits, a virus-caused liver disease usu.

on animals offered further support.

Appointments
Jessup and Clark

JSSSg QHQ GloFk
The President this week declared
that charges against Ambassador
Philip c. Jessup "bordered on fraud"
and he gave the former Columbia
University professor a recess appoint
ment to the U. S. delegation to the
United Nations.
President Truman charged that the
Senate decision to pigeon hole his
nomination Of Jessup was based in
part on partisan politics" Scoffing at
fears expressed by some senators that
the American people have lost conf
dence in Jessup, the President said:
''The American people make their
judgments on the basis of facts and
performance"
Wave Of Protest
There appeared to be little likeli-
hood of a recess appointment for
Gen. Mark w. Clark, whom the Presi-
dent has named as U. S. ambassador
to the Vatican.
In the absence Of such an appoint
ment, Clark could not take over the
Papal post until the Senate approved.
That may mean the whole matter of
actually senoing an ambassador to
the Roman Catholic Church state will
be held up for months. This would af-
ford time for the assessment Of the
wave Of protest touched of by Presi-
dent Truman's decision to establish
diplomatic relations with the Vatican.

Each year many anglers who
are willing to travel several hun
bred miles for better fishing in
quire concerning the accommoda-
tons and angling possibilities of
certain areas, but this seasons
letters indicate an unusual inter
est in the quality of the guides.
While this is new trend, it is
a sensible one, for no other single
factor can so thoroughly spoil an
otherwise pleasant fishing trip as
a surly or incompetent guide. With
the increased number of wander
ing anglers, and the correspond
ing increase in the demand for
guides, it is not surprising that
this occupation should attract a
certain number of incompetents,
The average angler of some ex-
perience, fishing strange waters,
does not require a guide to tell
him show" to fish, but "where" to
fish, for on a large lake or river,
or in sounds and along the oceans
coast, there are certain to be some
sections that are more productive
than others. Many anglers employ
a guide primarily because he is
equipped with boat or canoe, and
can thus provide them with trans
portation to and from the good
fishing areas. The novice angler,
of course, expects the guide to be
capable of advising him on the
best methods and practices as we'll
as showing him where to fish.
In many of the popular resort
fishing areas the hotel or camp
operator insists that his guests
employ a guide, and in addition
to the guides pony, from which
he gets a kickback, he charges for
the use of a boat or canoe and in
some instances an cupboard mot
or. While this is not true of all
such operators, the majority fol-

GARDEN TINE
By ROBERT SCHMIDT

When can / move my daffodils
or jonquils? This is almost per-
ennial question after the bloom.
ing season. 1t is best to move them
after the foliage has turned yell
low and begun to die. While the
foliage is green, the plant is stor-
ing food materials in the bulb for
next years bloom. After the fol-
iage has turned yellow, the bulbs
may be dug, divided, and replant-
ed at once or dried and stored in
cool dry place for fall planting.
Dahlias that have been allowed
to remain in the ground over win
ter should be dug now and divid-
ed. They may be replanted i'm
mediately or may be kept and
planted later. Even if you wish
only one plant, they should be di-
vided and the extra divisions CIV
en- away. The "eyes" or sprouts of
the dahlia are formed on the
crown or base of the stem-not
on the roots themselves. In divid-
ing them, care must be taken to
get at least one eye or sprout with
each root or division. 1t is not nee
essary to have more than one
sprout and one root. 1t has been
my experience that it is best to
wait until May to plant dahlias.
Earlier planting will give you nice
early blooms but they will not do
as well in the fall when they
should be at their best.
/ am continually being asked,
Elbow do you grow such big dahl
las? ?" The first essential is to
plant the large varieties. Cultur-
al practices will improve size to a
certain extent but you can't grow
big flower from a small variety.
Large dahlias are fine for shows
and for the garden but for house
decoration there are many lovely
small and medium sized varieties.

You have recently received a

These are recommended stand
ards. The middle standard on the
front page will be made for you
by the Swan Quarter Agriculture
Boys upon request.
DR.. H. w. Jordan, Chairman
N. c. Highway Commission in a
recent letter states:
"The location of rural mail
boxes along the routes on our
highways is a major problem to
the State Highway and Public
Works Commission in the main
tenance of the roads and high
ways and for the rural carriers
serving these routes. The should
ers of the roads must be moved,
The. bitches pulled out and the
boxes must be located where the
carrier can drive by and serve
them without undue difficulty.
Following several Division
Meetings, a Statewide meeting of
the Highway Commissioners and
Engineers, together with Post
masters and representatives of
rural carriers in the State was
held in Raleigh to undertake to
solve this problem. 1t was the
opinion of this group that it would
! be desirable for mail boxes to be
mounted on a portable base in
order to allow them to be easily
moved out of the way of Highway
workers and machines. and then
replaced in the regular position.
The recommended manner for ac-
comprising this is to use a 4x4
