Labor was especially bitter about the 10 per cent wage formula as
recommended by economic sabIizer Eric Johnston. The union leaders
we're not pacrled when Johnston exempted from the wage ceiling all
costotivmg escalator clauses in union contracts written before
January Is.
These grievances were serious enough in themselves, but there
seemed to be other motivating facts behind labor's revolt. Hidden behind
the curtains of petty disagreements was the fear If a labor draft during
the present crisis. the same fear that labor struggled against during
World War II.
In the interest of mobilization and the wen-being Of the nation, peace
between the administration and labor has become a pressing, desperate
need.
HOUSEWIVES DISASTER has been said by critics of this
country that the United States is ruled by women, that UT economy and
way Of life centers around the wives. sweethearts, daughters, sisters
and mothers of the nation.
An example of the womans influence o the nations economy was
reflected in the meat markets Of the nation when housewives distaste
OF costly cuts Of beef caused some real price rol-backs.
A nationwide canvas revealed that prices we're cut from 10 to Is
per cent o the more expensive cuts Of meat And in every CASE the
pricecutters declared housewives lack of relish for high red meat prices
was the main reason for their action. There was evidence. too, that
more 8 q. The agricultural department Is on record IS saying prospects

Meanwhile, the agriculture department had other interesting Stats.
tics for the general public, namely, farmproduct prices climbed to q
record level in February. The figures revealed that prices paid farmers
for all their commodities was 25 per cent higher than the old record set
in January. 1916. and about 26 per cent above the level prevailing before
the Korean war.
only nine major products were selling at o. above pariy-the price
standard declared by law to be equally fair to farmers and those who
buy their products. The products above parity were beef cattle. veal
calves. lambs, sheep, cotton, cotton seed, wool, rice and soybeans. Such
products IS wheat corn, peanuts. potatoes, butterfat, milk. oats. barley,
rye, haxseed. grain sorghums. dry beans. citrus fruits, apples. sweet
potatoes. chickens. and eggs were bringing less than parity prices.

that all cooking utensils and
tableware are scrubbed clean in
order to remove any invisible,
radioactive duSts. Food and

If it was an air burst, don't

Be careful of drinking water

But even if the water contin-

poses unless you have received
official information that the
city system is safe. This is not

but because of other dangers
like typhoid that can come from
damaged water systems. If you
have to use city water before
you get official information, boil
it. Boiling won't remove radio
activity, but the chances that

WATCHFUL WORLDS deputy foreign ministers of France,
attempt to work out IN agenda for a bigfour conference, a watchful, but
pessimisic world waited for announcement of first results.
Considerable doubt existed al to whether OF not even a n agreement
n n agenda could be reached among the four nations. The Soviet Union
powers with rearming western Germany. On the other hand, the United
States announced it would direct the discussion to the vast buld-up Of
arms in the Soviet Union and its eastern European satellites, and argue
that those arms are the basic cause of the worlds ills.
1t was believed doubtful, therefore, that the big four could even
agree o a list of subjects about which the bigfour could talk with any
hope of success.
1t was also reported the United States would try to put the settlement
of al Austrian peace treaty O the agenda, an achievement long sought
by this government, but continually blocked by the Soviet Union.
Even If the deputy foreign ministers coulo eacn reen on a n
agenda, there exists little hope that the bigfour can reach any settlement
of the worlds ills that will materially decrease the possibility of open
conflict in the immediate future.
SPRING OFFENSIVE The threat of a big spring counteroffensive by
the Chinese Communists still hung over the Korean front as United
Nations troops continued their push northward. Heavy movements

south into Seoul and the Reds stepped up night mortar and artillery fire
from the old South Korean capital. There were also indications that a
new Chinese division may have been moved into Korea In preparation
for the expected offensive.
Frmtine observers pointed out that the Chinese have switched from
night to day operations, usually a sign Of desperation. There was no
indication, however, that either side could chop out a clear-cut victory
that might terminate hostities. It remains a battle of Chinese manpower
VS. American frepower.

Card Trick Gave
General Smooth
TV Informally

WASHINGTON, D. ca card
trick enabled Gen. Dwight D. Eisen-
hover to give one of the smoothest
television performances on record
when he reported to the nation on
his European tour recently.
The technique was first used for
John Barrymore, who haL a great
profile, but couldn't remember his
lines. The movie studios would
print his part on blackboards and
Barrymore would read his lines
as he went about his acting bust
ness.
The plan was modernized and
perfected for Gen. Eisenhower. In
stead of blackboards, his speech
was printed on big cards, about
three by four feet. The lettering
was over two inches high and the
lines were widely spaced for easy
reading.
Smooth Performance
People who saw this Eisenhower
"show" on their TV screens rated
it n of the smoothest perform
ances on record. It looked as If he
had either memorized his report
or was making it up as he went
along. It was smooth and even. No
stumbling. Every sentence perfect.
Most viewers thought it was ex-
temporaneous.
The TV audience, of course.
couldn't see the big cards. They
rel below the cameras. and he
seemed to be looking right into the
lens-and the home-every minute.
This gave the viewers the impress.
sion he vas addressing each n OF
them, personally and individually.
Eisenhower is far sighted and
could read the cards without the
glasses he uses for close work. That
eliminated the reflections which mar
the TV appearance Of spectacle
wearing men such as President
Truman.
There were from 100 to 100 hand
lettered words on each Of the q
cards. It took three men all after.
moor to make them. A number had
to be made over. as Eisenhower RI.
vised his text up to the last mo-
ment. Two army officers stood with
the cards. and moved them as he
spoke to give an even delivery.
Method VIII Be Copied
Words that the general wanted
to emphasize were spelled out in
capital letters. like this:
WESTERN Europe Is the cradle
Of our civilization; from her orig.
inally we drew u strength, genius
and culture. BUT OUR concern In
Europe is far more than senti-
mental. OUR OWN security is di.
rectly involved"
Such cards aren't the only meth.
cd of getting the text before the
speaker for easy reading. Manu-
script pages can be photographed
on microfilm, then projected on a
viewer. Or. it can be put on a tape.
and the tape run through a pro-
jecting machine like brokers use
to watch stock market transactions.
Eisenhower's appearance was so
successful, however, that political
s%pellbinders will undoubtedly copy
his technique. Which means that
we may develop a run Of far sighted
politicians.
