Russia Makes
For Food Aid

BERLIN Mt-S0vlet Russia coun-
tered Americas food offer to East
Germany today with the promise

Ivictuals and cotton for the hungry

aid proposition payable in manu-
featured goods.
The Russian agreement, an ex-
tension of a previous East German
Soviet trade deal, was made public
just one day after President EiSen-
hover renewed q Today old U. S.
offer to send Is million dollars
worth Of American food to Ger.
many's Soviet zone with no strings
attached.
The East German Communist
government and Soviet Foreign
Minister VIM. Molotov had angrily
rejected the American offer as a
propaganda maneuver" and said
the East Germans didn't need food
relief.
The Communists announced the
lstepped-up Russian shipments
would include 1000 more tons of
cotton and 81, 900 more tons of food
stuffs -27 900 tons Of butter, $500
tons Of fats, 10000 tons of vege-
table oil, 5000 tons Of seed oils,
10000 tons Of meat and $500 tons
Of cheese.
Under the East German govern
ment's trade treaty with Moscow,
announced in April, grain was the
only food item Russia supplied the
hungry satellite. That was before
the June II East Berlin riots fol-
lowed by slowdowns in East Ger
man industry as workers demand
ed more food and better working
conditions.
Today's announcement of the
Russian food offer also admitted
the East German government had
been forced to cali on Moscow for
help several times" to ease food
shortages.
The White House said last week
that the American offer s"still
stands regardless of any Soviet
rejection of that offer or any Soviet
allegation that the people do not
need food"
The United States went ahead
shipping the food to Germany.
Eisenhower wrote West German
Chancellor Konrad Adenauer that
the u. S. offer twas motivated
solely by humanitarian impulses
and that the food is available If
that government wishes to permit
its entry into the Soviet zone of
Occupation"
The original Soviet. East German
trade deal called for Russia to
supply rs million dollars worth of
grains, cotton, wool, ferrous and
lnonferrous minerals, iron and man.

modern agriculture machinery and
other goods.
The East German workers were
to produce for Russia electro

ton materials industry, testing

consumer goods.

CHICAGO. Jan. %. -. Mrs.
Magdelena Sterling has learned
that one can't get rid of old
bear bones by just tossing them
into the trash can.
Long after she had put the
remains of bear haunch into
her refuse container. and out of
mind, she had to explain to the
police. the coroner, newspaper
men and the neighbors yester-
day what they were.
Her daughter, Mrs. Sophia
Chvosta. AZ, was summoned to
the Cook County Morgue to
identify the bones and reclaim
her mothers garbage can, which
had been removed from its West
Side alley site. s''..S
Three neighbor youngsters
spotted the skinned and de-
nailed left hind leg of the bear
in the can while playing yester-
day. The leg looked human.
They told an older boy and he
called police.
Within minutes, police squads,
county officials, news photogra-
pliers and reporters arrived, and
a neighborhood crowd collected
around the trash can. More
policemen and detectives came.
They started a house-to- house
canvass of the neighborhood.
Back yards and other trash
cans were checked.

It was about then that Mrs.
ChvoSta went out on the back

asked, whats going on?"
A policeman told her that part
Of a dismembered body had been
found in the trash can.
"Oh!" said Mrs. ChVosta. "It
couldn't be the leg of a bear my
mother threw away just the
other 'day?"
Later, she told reporters that
Mrs. Sterling had received the
leg from friends who had killed

MI. Greer's editorials:
I am not in the least surprised
that Mr.. William N. Greer, owner
and operator of radio station
VISTA, has joined Mr.. Jackson in
dedicating himself to me removal
from office as Governor. For
many months now Mr.. Greer has
made many unwarranted attacks
on my administration, particular
ly in connection with the sale OF
our power facilities to the Virgin
Islands Corporation. This sale
was successfully completed last
week. Mr.. Greer at one time pub
Iicly characterized the sale, which
was authorized by our Council
and by the United States Con-
gress, as a "million-dollar swim
die" These attacks came at the
time when the transaction was al
most completed. It was at the
time when no reasonable person
would have attempted to tear
down all that had been done to
solve our power problem. But to
one intent on confusing issues and
creating chaos, t apparently
looked like a splendid opportuni-
ty for a public denunciation. Later
on, in the presence of several busi
nessmen, Mr.. Greer apologized to
me at Government House and
admitted that he had not sought
nor did he have the facts which
were available at my Office on the
sale of the power facilities at all
times.
Yet he again proceeded, in
spite of his voluntary offer to
make a connection over the radio,
to denounce the Administration
on this same matter from time to
time, as you know. He ever went
further and attempted to take a
straw vote on the peoples deci-
sion in regard to the sale of the
power facilities. He also wanted
a straw vote on the peoples
choice for Governor, but he has
strangely failed to announce the
results Of the poll.
Mr.. Greer, at another time, pub
lic1y charged that / had ordered
fees to be paid to the Municipali-
ty for the use of the new bulk
head, which he claimed wa
owned by Mr.. Robert Prann, the
contractor. He did this in spite OF

not even be in existence.
BECAUSE OF totally unpredictable character of

DANGER SIGNAL

DANGER SIGMA
PERHAPS H MOST dangerous and ominous news to
come out of the cold war is that Russia will try nine doctors,
mostly Jews, Of so treating two Politbuo members, Andrei A.
Zhdanov and Alexander S. Scherbakov, that these two died.
The accusation is that these doctors were spies for the west
ern countries, and particularly for the Joint Distribution Com
mittee, a Jewish organization which aids European Jews.
THE NEWS is dangerous because Of what is says in the
pattern Of relationships. It has been known for some time that
condition in the satellite countries are far from satisfactory,
and there is fear that if these conditions continue, and al
lowed to mount, these countries, particularly Czeckosloyaka
and Poland may be difficult to keep in utter submission.
NEWS is dangerous because a totaitarian govern
ment is committed to constant forward movement IN com
plete subiugation Of its people while. diyerhng their attention
from the true condition. The propaganda machine IS there
fore.turned on full blast at foreign conditions, and when this
has worked long enough with the saturation point in sight
then scapegoats must be found to blame for all the talhngs
at home. Long before Hitler, the Cars of Russia did that, and
during the thirties, Hitler used the Jews to blame tor all ad-
verse conditions within Germany. AS a result SIX millions died
in German prisons, with the most deadly and incredible tor
lures being perpetrated. One German woman, head OF one
Of the prison camps, even had lamp shades made OF human
skin.
THE NEWS is dangerous because the situation in Rus
STA itself may be 50 delicate that neither Stain nor his aides
can trust anybody any longer, and the doctors must be
warned that only the most complete allegiance will be tolerat-
ed. But over and above that, history has shown that Persecu-
ton Of internal minorities is usually the sign that the attention
Of the masses can no longer be distracted from their condition,
and the next desperate move may come in the form OF armed
attack on what is considered the most vulnerable spot.
IT'S TO BE NOTED that in linking American and

the firms born since 1945 made out?)
It's the first time in history this sort OF
information ever has been available about US
And it's utterly fascinating stuff-guaranteed
to puncture holes in hoard of Impressions
III wager you didn't know that
There are 4.0l4.000 firms in operation in
our country today, the highest number ever
and comparing with 3140.200 businesses in
existence at the end of 1914.
OF the total full three-ffths have been
born or have been sold since World War II:
in short. only two-f1fths OF the entire total
predate the war.
Half of the businesses now in existence in
America are younger than four -and-a-hal
years old.
Half of the firms born in the postwar years
have lived less than two years Putting it
another way they were sold or were liQuidated
within "a months; putting it still another
way there has been only a $3.50 chance in
this period that new firm would last two
years under the same management.
The worst survival record has been chalked
up by firms in retail trade. Less than SIS
per cent of these have survived their first
year and only one-f1fth have reached the
age of five years.
And IS per cent of all operating businesses
at the last survey date had less than four
cllPIOycS ~ SuUSCdHLldl pOTLlOn OF CQeSe very
small firms were operating with no paid
employees
Not all the deaths have reflected failures
Or, in the inturiatingly stilted language of
the Commerce Department economists, lack
of probability has by no means been the
only reason for the sale or liquidation of a
business.
Illness of the owner has been a prime
factor. Or his retirement. Or his decision
to go into another business or to work for
some one else. These also have been major
factors.
But of course, failure to make profit has
been key cause of the deaths or transfers
And that's why the death rate has been
greatest among the young-with the least
experience and capital.
We think of ourselves as a land inhabited
by such industrial giants as General Motors,
DUPONT, U. S. Steel And let's not fool our
selves. These are the dominant firms. the
great powers.
But that's not the only map of industrial
America. This other map is accurate too.
