Kenaf Fiber.

Keep your eye on kenaf fiber. 1t
is new to the Western Hemisphere
and proving to be most salts
factory substitute for jute. Weavers
are manufacturing this new fiber
into handsome rugs and carpets,
into durable burlaps, bagging,
cables, twines and cords.
Cuba has spent about $40 million
in bagging for her vast sugar ex-
port. Now Cuba is growing kenaf
with great success, having enough
for her own needs and a surplus
for sale.
Kenaf offers potential benefits to
the Western Hemisphere. One very
important reason comes from hav-
ing additional needed fiber sources
close at hand. Jute comes largely
from India and Pakistan. Their
jute output has greatly decreased,

This is particularly true for over

Food Costs Not Up
Comnared To Wages

The retail cost of the family food
supply is not as high as it was ten
years ago, compared to wages. So
said Director George M. Worrilow
of the University of Delaware Ag-
ricultural Experiment Station and
Extension Service in a recent talk
to a group of farmers and wage
earners. He went on to point out
that the food bill now takes a
smaller part of the average wage
than it did before the last war.
''The aevrage weekly earnings of
workers in manufacturing indus
tries was $22.42 from 1885 to 1888.
BY 1850, it had jumped to $5S.45.
At the same time, the retail cost of
farm food products for the average
family of three for a whole year
went from $341 to $645. Wages
have gone up more than two and a
half times" said Worrilow, while
the cost of food is up not quite two
times"

lilies OF KENT COUNTY

He also pointed out that the
farmers profits have gone down
considerably in recent years. "Since
1947," he said, average farmers
costs have gone up, and their net
income gone down. 1t has resulted
in a loss of purchasing power of 80
per cent for the American farmer" "
THE farmer" Worrilow conclud-
ed, "is not to blame for the high
cost of living. He too is paying
bigger bills than he ever did before.
At the same time, however, he's
producing more food, of higher
quality, and he's doing it at a low
er comparative cost to the consum-
er than ever before"

 The ice, Wilson said, is 38 inches thick beneath the. tripod and his forecast for breakup time in the Panama is late in April or early in May. The breakup time in the Panama is late in April or early in May. The break up should be fairly early this year, due to the low water and the amount of snow on the ground.

Root Cellars Can Be Converted 10 Bomb Shelters, Commissioner Says

twenty root cellars that can be converted into bomb shelters for 5000 residents are being planned for the Anchorage area, according to Clyde G. Sherman, Territorial Commissioner of Agriculture.
 Sherman said the program has been inaugurated by the depart ment of Agriculture with full CO., operation of the Armed Forces in Alaska"
 The commissioner reported in the current issue of "The Alaska Farmer" territorial farm publi- cation, that the shelters will be built by farmers in the Fairbanks, Palmer and Anchorage areas. h. terest of Kenai Peninsula dwellers in building the shelters is being ascertained.
 These root cellars are pri- narilY of benefit 10 the farmers as vegetable storages." Sher- man stated. "At the same time they would render valuable as- Astance 10 any group of needy people in case of emergency due 10 fire or bombing attack.
 Ten cellars will be con structed in the Fairbanks area and 20 more in the Anchorage and Palmer areas" the comnis- sioner reported.
 Arrangements have been made with the military organi- zations of Alaska 10 cooperate in furnishing all the salvage lumber and steel oil drums available. A D-e caterpillar
 tractor will be furnished by E1mendorf and Ladd Air Bases 10 excavate for the cellars"
 Most of the combination cellars shelters will be built in side hills, according to present plans.
 Recommended size is 36 by 60 feet" Sherman stated. This would store 175 to 200 tons of po- tatoes and furnish warm shelter for 300 people in case of emer- gency.
 Steel oil drums will be used by some farmers in the construc- ton of the walls, which will be four barrels high Farmers who cooperate in the program will be expected to furnish all the native timbers and other materials which cannot be supplied by us- ing salvage lumber. ~
 Although all assistance pos sible will be given, farmers should be prepared to furnish cost of ma terial for the roof and labor for the entire project"
 Sherman indicated the urgency of the program by advising par ticipating farmers to get neces- sary poles cut and hauled before start of spring farm work.
 Prints of recommended storage lelters and building material lists are available at the Farmers Home Administration office in Anchorage or Agricultural Exten- sion office in Palmer.

Constantine Brown:

= Generalissimo Franco has
notified the United States in
directly that Spain is willing
to join the United States in
defense of the free world.
Ell Caudillo does not seem
particularly interested in be-
coming a member of the North
Atlantic Treaty Organization,
but hopes that Spain can come
to an agreement with this coun-
try for defense of the Western
world against Russian imperial
ism.
This unofficial offer was con-
tanned in a speech made in De-
troit today by SPANS Ambas-
sador, Jose de Lequerica. who
stated that Spain is prepared
to resist the Communist aggres-
sors and to contribute the nee
essary military force which. in
union with others, will create
such a mass of dynamic force
>. that they (the Reds) will be
little inclined to carry through
their plans"
Coming shortly after Gen.
Bradley's public statement in
Paris that we would very much
like to see Spain. Turkey and
Greece included in the defense
setup Of Western Europe, the
speech of Ambassador Lequerica
becomes highly significant. Like

covite imperialism. Yet the
Madrid government is assuring
us that it will not need a single
American soldier to help de-
fend that country.
1--WE will not ask for Aneri-
can soldiers" the ambassador
said. although it is easy to
foresee the spirit of comradery
between our soldiers and those
Of the United States"
The Spanish government
seems surprised that Western
Europe is insisting on being
helped with manpower to defend
herself against the potential
Soviet onslaught. This is evi-
denced in Mr.. Lequerica's state
ment that "some may be sur
prised to see a continent like
Europe, with nearly 800 million
inhabitants outside the Iron
Curtain. asking for American
troops but there may be
some psychological reasons
which may have to be taken
into account"
The Spanish Ambassador evil
IDENTIFY was thinking about the
moral shot in the arm which
the presence of American troops
in Germany may give the war
weary NATO nations, which
have fought two fullf1edged wars
since 1941 and some of which
are still fighting for their
Colonial empires, which are
threatened by Moscow through
her puppets.
Ambassador Lequerica. of
course, mentioned the fact that
Spain needs help desperately to
rearm and modernize its forces,
which are estimated by Ameri-
can military observers at some
500,0 900 men, strong and we'll
disciplined.
For political reasons Spain
has not been permitted to re-
ceive any Marshal Plan assist
ance. Her economy is in bad
shape, because she has been
politically and economically os-
tracized for the last IL years.
Last September, over the OBJ
jections of the White House
and the State Department, a
loan of $65 million was ap-
proved by Congress. But up to
Evening star., 1951-06-06

now only one-third Of that
amount has been granted by the
competent American agencies.
Because of droughts which
have prevailed in that country
for the last three years the
economic situation has deter
iorated. The administration re-
Gently permitted S. million
worth of wheat to be shipped to
Spain. But in order to make
full use of Spain's potential
assistance in the life-and-death
conflict which may break out
any time, Spain needs desper-
ately machine tools to manufac-
ture some of her own war
materials.
The Spanish Ambassador also
mentioned the need for pre-;
paratory contacts for an even
tual common military action"
1t is generally known that the
French and British govern
ments will not agree to have
anything to do with the Madrid
government, insofar as these
military contacts" are con-
cerned-at least for the time
being.
The Spaniards hope, however,
that the American Government
will see its way clear to have
some of our top-ranking mill
tary officers visit Spain, inspect
personally the Spanish army
and recommend to the Gov
ernment in Washington the
types of equipment-military
and industrial-which should be
sent before it is too late.
In the $6-billion package sent
by President Truman to Con-
gress for military assistance to
the NATO and other nations in
Europe and Asia which receive
our military support, nothing
was earmarked for Spain. This
is logical. since we have just
