Higher U: 5. Tariffs
Will Help Red Trade,
Soviet Press Believes
BY the Assoeiofed Press

MOSCOW, April 25.-Items in
the Soviet press today illustrated
the Russian belief that increased
United States tariffs will help to
force non-Communist countries
into trading with the Reds.
The frequency of such publi-
cations in the Moscow press re-
Gently has attested to the Russian
interest in American tariff pol
icies.
Some speakers at the recent
Moscow international Economic
Conference said United States tar
|iff policy makes it hard for other
Western countries to enter the
American market. Trade with
Eastern countries, including China
and the Soviet Union, they said,
does not involve that obstacle.
The Russians, noting that many
nom Communist countries have
llong-stading dollar deficits, view
increased United States tariffs on
some Western European goods as
Ia further American action which
inevitably will drive West Euro
|pean traders to Eastern markets.
Pravda reported that a British
memorandum on tariff increases
was sent to the United States Gov
|ernment. The paper expressed
doubt it would have much effect.
1t also reported briefly that Will
lard Thorp, United States Assist
amt Secretary of State for Eco
nomic Affairs, had expressed fear
|of the consequences of restricting
European imports.
The Russians already have
noted sharp reaction in England,
Belgium. France and other coun-
tries to United States tariff raises
and took it as further evidence
Western Europe will find it i'm
possible to end dollar deficits by
increasing exports to the United
States. They believe these coun-
tries will be forced to restrict their
dollar imports sharply and turn
to the East both for markets and
essential raw materials and foods.

Eisenhower Is Captive

Republican Presidential Nom
inee Dwight D. Eisenhower was
pictured today by Western DEM

plot the West.
Senator Murray of Montana de-
scribed Gen. Eisenhower as tom
Dewey's candidate" He based
that charge. he said. on the stand
taken by Senator Dirksen of Illi-
nois in opposing the nomination
of Gen. Eisenhower at the Repub-
Ilican National Convention and
criticizing Gov. Thomas E. Dewey
of New York.
Statement by Murray.
In q statement late yesterday
after a talk with President Tru-
man at the White House. Senator
Murray declared:
'"The general, after all, is Tom
Dewey's candidate. Mr.. Dirksen
said so and he should know. To
us farmers and Westerners that
means just one thing-control of

policies by those same Eastern in

the G., o. P. vice presidential
nominee, Senator Nixon of Cali
fornia. He accused Senator
Nixon of wanting to return the
country to its pre-New Deal
status when "the devil took the
hindmoSt."
He criticized Senator Nixon for
having voted for the tidelands oil
bill, dealing with claims of coastal
States to ownership of oil-rich
submerged lands. The bill was
vetoed by President Truman. SEN

measure would take millions of

Army medical artist. He i'm
mediately searched out a
wood-block artist, Hiroshi
Yoshida. Teach me-" the
major urged, "how to make
wood-block color prints"
Yoshida referred Maj. Hack
to a wood-block cutter. The
cutter referred him to a wood
block printer. The printer
referred him to another
printer. The major realized
he was getting the run
around.
He knocked on the door of
the artist, Yoshida, once a
week for a year. He received
no encouragement. Then, one
day, Yoshida showed him a
proposed advertisement for a
wood block exhibition. The
ad had been phrased in die
tionary English, comparable
to the English that the own
ers of a japanese nutS-and-
bolts factory used when they
erected a sign proclaiming:
The Screw Works"
Maj. Hack helped Yoshida
rephrase the advertisement.
Yoshida said, Next time, you
bring art work." The major
said to himself, MY shoes are
no longer toes-out at this
house."
He spent the next six
months learning color analy-
sis. A japanese wood-block
artist analyzes the picture he
wishes to reproduce to decide
the colors he needs. He plans
one woodcut for each color.
He may plan two woodcuts
or 80, gaining range and sub
tlety as he increases the
number.
Then a Japanese cutter
carves the proper design on
each block. A hair-line that
the artist planned must be-
come a tiny ridge on a block
of cherry wood. Each swirl
of color must be duplicated
precisely In wood.
Next, a japanese printer
brushes the proper colors on
the blocks and presses his
specially-made, moistened pa
per to each block in turn. AS
he rubs the paper against the
blocks with his bamboo
covered barren, he can vary
the intensity of the colors by
his pressure.
Some authorities can Japa-

Hack knew only color analy-
sis. Fortunately, a master
cutter lived on the route be-
tween the majors Office and
his home. Maj. Hack started
dropping by every other eve
ming. The master cutters
eyes would brighten on seeing
the bottle of sake under the
majors arm. AS they drank
the warm wine, beads of
perspiration would pop out
at the tip of the craftsman's
nose. When the third bead
appeared, the major would
steer the conversation to
wood carving.
Still, he made little prog
ress. His second Christmas
in Tokyo. he and Mrs. Hack
invited the master cutter and
other japanese friends to
spend an American Christ
mas eve with them, complete
with tree and presents. Two
weeks later, the master was
teaching the major the art
and saying, "You will be a
No. l American CUTTER"
The master cutter required
Maj. Hack to hold an egg
against the handle of the cut
ting knife. If the egg broke,
1t proved he was not using a
delicate touch. For economy,
the cutter furnished only
rotten eggs. After breaking a
few, Maj. Hack brought his
own eggs,e fresh ones.
Before he left Japan last
year. Maj. Hack saw his
prints hanging in Japanese
exhibitions. Some Japanese
viewers thought they were
seeing a new school of wood
block printing. Maj. Hack
explains that he gives the
faces of his subjects more
characterization than the
japanese do.
In Washington, he is a
medical artist with the Armed
Forces Institute of Pathology.
He spends many off-duty
hours with his cherry-wood
blocks. 1t requires about eight

Marketing Of Feeder
ICuIves to Continue
Ito Increase in Va.

Production and marketing OF
feeder calves in Virginia likely
will continue to increase in 1858
despite the rather severe price
decline which occurred this fall.
Agricultural economists at VPI
point out that Virginia farmers
and producers in neighboring
States have increased their
marketings of feeder calves faster
in recent years than any other
type of cattle.
The decline this fall coupled
with lower average weight Of
calves resulting from the severe
widespread drought, was a double
dose of economic trouble for Vir-
ginia producers.
Experience in 1852 points up
sharply the fact that local buy
ing demand is an important fac
tor in establishing going" prices
at feeder calf sales. However,
the decline in feeder calf prices
was not restricted solely to Vir-
ginia, but occurred all over the
Nation. Two sharp breaks in
prices occurred. The first was
about the time the drought
reached it's height. The second
occurred after large numbers be-
gan reaching the market and it
became known that the winter
wheat pastures in the Great Plains
area were hurt worse than was
originally believed.
Feeder calf prices in the fall
of 1853 likely will average about
10 to Is per cent below 1852, the
economists believe.
No appreciate increase in veal
calf marketings or slaughter is in
prospect for 1853. Therefore, the
price outlook for veal calves is
steady.
In general, the outlook for
slaughter cattle prices in 1853 is
that they will be moderately lower
than in 1852. The better grades
likely will adjust downward. Fed
cattle prices may take more than
a normal seasonal decline in the
late winter and spring of 1858
when the effect of increased
numbers in feedlots is reflected
in larger marketingS.

the point where he furnishes
flowers to Washington florists
shops.
The hybridizing of an orchid
and DR.. McPeak has several white
ones of his own creation-is a
long, slow process.
First. the flowers are hand
Ipollinated and the hybridizer
must wait about 13 months for
the seed pod to form.
The seeds, almost microscopic
is size. are planted in sterile agar,
very much like blood culture is
grown. In about a year they
terminate, and in two years, if
all goes well, the small seedlings
are ready to transplant into flats.
Beyond the Average Gardener.
Then, after about six more
years, the hybridizer may get a
bloom, thus finding out for the
first time what his new flower is
to be like. That is eight years in
all.
DR.. McPeak does not advise the
average home gardener to try
them. Orchids can't be grown
satisfactorily, he said, in the aver
age house.
