Negro sSymphony

Short Symphony by Howard
Swanson, 42-year-old composer,
which was given its radio premiere
on CHS Radio, has been voted the
best new orchestral work perform
ed in New York between October
1850 and the end of 1851, by
the New York Music Critics
Circle, in it's annual awards.
The work was broadcast on CHS
Radio by the New York Philhar-
monic-Symphony, conducted byDi-
mitri Mitropoluos on Sunday, Dec
ember 3, 1850.
The honor to Mr.. SWansoncomes
with double weight, becauseEurope-

The Short Symphony is the first
of his major works to be broad

songs had been performed in pub

Sweet Tooth
Soldiers Denoted

TOKYO, Jan. II (INS)- PFC.
Linwood w. Smith, who was a
corporal in the honor guard until
he ate some candy he found on
Gen. Matthew B. Ridgway's desk,
leaves Tokyo for outlying Camp
Drake tomorrow for reassignment
to a less glamorous army unit.
Smith, Fl, of Fredericksburg,
Va, was ordered transferred from
the honor guard by his company
commander without prejudice or
formal charge, an army official
said, but merely "as a matter of
common sense"
Two other honor guard soldiers
who ate some of Ridgway's candy
which Smith gave them were re-
duced one stripe but kept in the
honor guard company.
The company commander, Capt.
James @. Andrews of Dallas, Tex,
however, transferred them to other
duties. They no longer stand guard
at the Dai building supreme head
quarters, but are on duty at the
embassy where Ridgway lives.
The two men, reduced from Pfc.
to privates, are John w. King, 81,
Of Roam Mountain, Tenn, andHer-
bert @. Branch "a, of Starbuck,
MINI.
The three men were caught up
on the army regulations which for
bids eating or smoking while on
guard duty.
Alone on the sixth floor of the
Dai Ichi building one night last
week, they had free access to
Ridgway's office and that's where
Smith found the box of candy
all gift wrapped and ready fol
presentation to one of Ridgway'S
official guests.

COLUMBUS, Jan. IL GNS)-
The addition Of another wing Of
1000 men and officers early this
summer will double the compli-
men of Lockbourne Air Force base
and make it headquarters for an
air division to be commanded by a
major general.
A SIT million building program
is now under way at the base to

Jobs for $50 more c%ilivilan work

Col. Joseph J. Preston, command
ing officer of the DIST Strategic

new wing probably will not have
jet aircraft, but will be a BIO

necessary to operate tactical

LIVESTOCK DEMAND

To those who say such an in
crease is not possible. il Is
pointed OUT that total U. S. farm
production has increased by one
third in the past is years. There
is no reason now TO believe that
this rate of increase cannot be
continued through methods still
unknown.
A large part Of the increase needed
will be in livestock numbers. The
department figures that we will need
to increase beef cattle numbers in
1875 by the equivalent Of the number
on farms this year in Texas, Okla
homa and Minnesota.
We will need as many more sheep
and lambs as are now on farms in
Montana, Wyoming, Nevada and
Utah, and as many more hogs as are
grown in Nebraska and Iowa. We
will need as much more milk as Is
produced each year in Wisconsin.
Michigan and New York.

no SUPPORT INCREASE

Congress and Secretary Bran
nan have just about agreed NOT
TO increase price support rates
this year. Brannan. in a recent
visit TO The F7ill said he did NOT
favor an increase. Congressmen
told him that they were NOT go-
ing to change the law to require
higher supports. Probably that
is the way the matter will rest.

ported there were "a, 179, 900 head Of
cattle on farms. Now it says the fig
ure really should have been 82,025,-
600.
The Jan. 1, 1852, number of cattle
on farms is estimated at $1,000, 900
head, an increase of a little over
100000, but still the largest num-
Der on record. Early last fall the
department predicted cattle num-
bers would reach 91,OOO,O0O at the
start Of this year.
Montana cattle numbers increased
from 1881, 900 to 100000 during
1851, the board reported. The aver
age value per head increased from
$182 to $205 and the total value from
$342, 342,ooO to $4s1, 1885. 900.
Montana hog numbers increased
from $4,000 to $4,000, but the aver
age value per head dropped from
1890 to $31.1O per head. Montana
sheep and lamb numbers rose from
1,716,000 to 1861, 900 and the total
value from $54, 507, 900 to $62, 702, 900.

estimates il can get on what

lions will be S. 10. is. 20 and IS
years from now. Recently 4
study group made such an esti-
mate.
Taking census bureau figures
showing that the net U. S. popula-
ton gain per day is 7,4OO persons,
the forecasts predicted a total pop
ulation of more than 10000, 900 per-
sons by 1875. What then, they asked,
would that mean in increased de-
mand for farm products?
To feed that many more people If
would mean that we would need to
set five plates at every table on
which four plates are set today. To
do that, if the rate of production per
acre remains unchanged, we would
need 65,OoO,O00 more acres in food
production.
Land officials, however, figure
that we have no more than 15,OOO,-
600 additional acres that can b.
brought into cultivation profitably

lem, they say, is to find ways o
making each acre produce more
USDA research men have been pu

Senate May Reject
S46 Billion Ceiling
On Military Spending
BY the Associoted Press

The $46 billion ceiling imposed
by the House on military spending
may be rejected by the Senate.
A Senate Defense Appropria-
tions subcommittee agreed infor-
mally yesterday to eliminate a
House-voted amendment which
would freeze spending for next
year. President Truman said the
House move would wreck the mill
tary buildup.
Military officials requested $50
billion for the year beginning
July / and the House authorized
1852 billion.
But the rider, sponsored by
Representative Smith, Democrat.
Of Virginia would mean the three
services could spend only a total
OF $46 billion from this amount
plus funds carried over from past
appropriations.
Future Orders Pledged.
Chairman OMahoney said the
Senate group agreed with the ad-
miniStration's contention that the
amendment would mean reneging
on past appropriations. These
have been pledged to pay for mill
tary equipment ordered months
ago and scheduled for delivery
next year.
Mr.. Smith said his intention was
to force economy in military
spending, not to delay the build
up.
Secretary of the Air Force Fin
letter cited the spending ceiling
as one factor slowing down the
air buildup. Mr.. Finletter testi-
fed last night before a House Ex-
penditureS subcommittee.
He told the group the House
Appropriations Committee had cut
$500 million from proposed new
aircraft procurement, which is in
addition to the regular Air Force
budget.
Announcement Due Today.
The committee was to announce
its action on this and other spe-
cial appropriations later today.
The Air Force had requested over
SIT billion in addition to its regu-
lar budget. which totalled $2O,-
752,412,912 when the House fin
1shed it in April. The Senate still
has to act on the defense budget.
Mr.. Finletter said even before
the $3.50 million cut the Air
Force had trimmed its budget
right down to the last airplane. -
And he went on to say:
If war comes, the assignments
the Air Force will receive will
entail very heavy losses
Normally, planning includes
enough reserves to replace con-
templated losses. But Mr.. Fin
letter said that, under the present
program, requirements would not
be available until heavy produc-
ton got started.
The statements were made dur
ing testimony on a subcommittee
report criticizing some military
supply practices and proposing
legislation to centralize military
buying.
