NEW YORK H-The outlook for
eating this coming winter is pretty
good today.
Prices Of most foodstuffs are
down--at the farm level-to about
where they were before the start
of the Korean War sent them
scampering upward. Large sur
pluses of many of the primary
foodstuffs tend to keep them stable.
The chief upward pressure on
food prices at the grocery level
comes from the creeping rise in
costs of preparation and distribu-
ton.
Drought or disease or tropical
hurricanes have cut some crops
in some sections, but shortages ex.
list in very few commodities.
Storms hurt the apple crop in the
East. Rains cut into the onion
crop in the Southwest and on the
West Coast Unreasonable hot wea-
Their took a toll of lettuce in Cali
fornia.
But the story in general is one
of plenty. And when major crop
has been cut this year by weather
or governmental planting restric-
tons, there is usually a stable
follower from previous years On
which to fall back.

WASHINGTON, R-once again
the Allies have taken q big gamble
on Germany.
Unless the Russians manage to
upset the applicant - and they're
trying hard, though without much
immediate chance of success - the
15-nation agreements signed over
the weekend at Paris mean:
/. West Germany becomes an al.
most free and not-quite-so sovereign
nation less than 10 years after all
Germany was at war with both
Russia and the West, then allies.
2. West Germany - the stronger
half of that split country - comes
into the Western defense setup, and
will supply IL divisions.
3. The Allied occupation of West
Germany ends - as such. This
doesn't mean American, British
and French troops will go home. 1t
means they'll stay in Germany,
but with German consent.
All this is just what the United
States wanted at this stage, and a
lot more than it thought it would
get only a couple of months ago,
when the more ambitious European
Defense Community fell apart be-
fore it got started.
The Paris arrangement is just
about what the Germans wanted
too. Chancellor Konrad Adenauel
was so eager for it, in fact, tha'
he gave in to the French on the
Saar question to get their agree
ment on the Paris pacts.

rearm even under the limitations
agreed upon at Paris.
This is a gamble the Allies took
once before, and tragieally lost -
in the war of 1939-45. The West let
Germany grow strong enough to
fight that war out of % indecision
and apathy, and ca hope that Ger
many would act as a check On
Communist aggression.
The result, as six years of bloody
history record, was war with Ger
many, not a checkmated Russia.
And in the wake, Russia emerged
a far more powerful threat than
before.
Putting guns in the hands of the
Germans again is a calculated
risk, and one that American politi-
cal leaders on both sides of the
fence agree should be taken. Re-
arming Germany was first pro-
posed by the last Democratic Sec

ent leaders know that. Hence they
lined up In the Vests system of

know 1t too. Hence they agreed-at

So much for the present. But
what's to stop some other set Of
German leaders from going on a
Hitlertype rampage in the future?
Well, the Germans themselves,
for one thing. They promised al
Paris not to start any new war t.
get back lost territory. And the

Tight Clamp Is Held On Cons
After New Mo. Prison Riots

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. B -
Officials maintained q tight dis

In the latest outbreak - a food

Warden Ralph N. Edison told re-

the men seem relaxed, but he
added, "Just one silly kid could

The riot started In a dining room
where 500 to 600 inmates were be-

Q. Do whales spout wateri II. p.
Mefford, Homestead, Florida.
A. No, whales do not spout water,
although this idea is widely be-
heved. Since whales are air-breath-
ing mammals of the order Cetacea,
taking in any quantity of water
into their lungs would be fatal TO
them. However, in the Arctic and
Antarctic where whales are COM
monty hunted, the spout" Of a
large whale can be seen for quite
some distance, hence the we'll
known whalers' cry of ''thar she
blows!" This is because Of the
white cloud of mist resulting when
the hot breath of the whale is sud-
denly expelled. In the smaller por-
poises, which belong to the same
order, an enlarged section of the
nostril passage allows any water
taken in accidentally to collect
there instead Of passing into the
lungs. This collected water may
then be expelled with an explosive
snort. A porpoise blowing his
nose" will likewise produce a size
able stream of mist.
