WHY NOT FORM A WORLD FOOD BANK?
From DEMOCRATIC DIGEST

proposal by w. Kerr Scott Democratic candi-
date for the U. S. Senate from North Carolina for
creation of a world Food Bank has attracted con-
siderable attention in that AS the Winston
Salem JOURNAL commented, such bank might
play very helpful role in the effort to alleviate hun
ger in famine dispose of American crop sur
pluses and stabilize world economy
A similar proposal has been made by group of
10 Democrats and five others already in the Senate
led by James E. Murray of Montana, who introduced
a resolution calling on the Administration to draft
an international Food Reserve" as they called it.
and present the proposition to the United Nations
In the House, the same measure is sponsored by Lee
Metcalf,, Democrat of Montana.
The purpose of international food reserve or
food bank is obvious: Supplying temporary surpluses
to countries suffering shortages and hunger AS
shifting crop conditions would cause surplus and
deficit countries to change POSITIONS the central N
agency would keep any extra foodstuffs flowing
into empty stomachs
The Democratic Senators suggested relatively
simple method of operation: Nations "depositnp''
surplus commodities would get credit on the banks
books Hungry nations withdrawing" commodities
would pay for them in their own currencies which
would then be loaned back to them for technical
development projects along the line of President
humans famous Point Four. This latter feature
was designed to help break the bottleneck of un-
foreign currency and cause more stable
1000 production around the world.
AS Senator Murray stated at the time reserves
OF food and fiber will not merely be economic relief
measures but such reserves are undoubtedly of
even greater Importance to all consumers in this

THE TINKERERS ARE TOYING With

From the MILWAUKEE JOURNAL

Senator Hennings (D-Mo) had reason to warn
his colleagues the other day that they were getting

barely failed the Senate this year and undoubtedly
will be renewed in 1866
The Senate has just approved amendment that
would arbitrarily fix the Supreme Court at its pres
ent size.
President Eisenhowers suggested amendment,
turned down by the Senate, would have bestowed
the voting privilege in all states at IS.
The Senate last year approved equal rights
for women amendment.
A Senate subcommittee has just favored
amendment to let the President veto parts of an
appropriation bill.
Concern about internal Communist conspiracy has
led to proposal to expand the meaning of treason

WHICH PAGE DO YOU Read?
Big COP Dailies Jubilant In Editorials
Job Layoff Stories Are Another Matter

Ever since unemployment started to increase unde
the present administration most Ohio papers have
been beside themselves trying to cover the whole
thing up.
You could hardly blame them in way. After all
20 years is long time to wait for Republican Presi
dent.
The editorial page is an interesting page to read
these days because is here that the papers really
ignore the facts The papers coumnists also join in
the campaign.
We noticed recently that the Cleveland PLAIN
DEALER was doing dandy job of ignoring the facts.
One of its columnists, Philip Porter, wrote a column
in which he pOked fun at what he called the "prOph-
cts of doom" for their warnings about the anemic
state of economy. Porter pOked fun because he
said such dire predictions were only echoes
They were echoes now because things fine and
looking better, Porter wrote
One editorial entitled "The Recession Recedes as
sured its readers, Calm optimism over business pros
poets is sweeping the country"
But in the news columns which are based primarily
on fact, the PLAIN DEALER reported-on the same
day Porter's "everything is rosy column appeared
that akron began to feel the pinch of poor relief
today when city councils finance committee ap-
proved transferring $4,000 into the relief account
This marked the first time since before World
War II that the general fund tapped for poor
relief"
And this one from Mansfield, Ohio: with county
relief rolls growing here Richland County Commits
sioners today announced plan to put able-bodied
but JObeSS men to work on county work crews The
relief-roll workers will earn up to S. day, which
will be credited on their grocery and rent bills.
In short the editorial writer's fly in the face of the
facts printed in their newspapers While they
are attempting to put rose-colored glasses on their
readers their news columns are printing the true
facts of the case.
Now that the one-party press has a Republican
President just can't admit that business and people
aren't we'll off as under the Democrats
people started to believe such things, they might
elect Democrats to office. So the papers must
do their best to protect the new team And they do
it by constantly reassurng their readers that times
have improved since January 1858.
The only trouble is that many of their readers
may be looking at such editorials and columns as they
stand in line to collect their unemployment checks

L1DL Will IGCGMt appointments
made III the Virgin Islands.
Mr.. Totten writes in part as
follows.
The recent appointments
Of top executives for the Vir-
gin Islands by President Eisen
hover is not acceptable to the
native people, who reside in
the islands, and is wholly re-
garded as unfair, unjust and
insulting to the 10000 or more
natives, who reside on the
mainland.
The Organic Act provides
that consideration be given
to natives with ability, cultur
al background, and other nee
essary qualifications for top
executive posts in the Islands.
The appointments made who'll
" ignore the request Of the
Legislative Assembly Of the
three islands and definitely
proves that the present adj
ministration is merely interes-
ted in satisfying the needs Of
political droneg with utter
disregard to the many diverse
problems affecting the Virgin
Islands and their people. It is
therefore, my duty as Presi-
dent Of the AVICA to inform
you that the native people,
who reside on the mainland
in cooperation with those,
who reside in the islands CON
slider the policy Of your organ
ization as unfriepdly. It is a
backward step toward the
progress Of the islands, calcu-
lated to deny them the auto
nomy they have enjoyed these
many years.

Giles also treated himself to

Later that day, Giles met Lam

On Monday. Giles decided not

Lands informed him they had

and newspapermen) were down

Giles and Lands hit on a
plan for taking it down to the

Service said Miss Chase accom-
panied William (Billy) Giles, a
neighbor of Lands and Govern
ment f1ag-pole painter, to Balti-
more and spent a number of the
bills.
Miss Chase was held in $1,000
bond on a charge Of stealing
United States currency from the
engraving plant. She was
charged as an accessory after
the fact and hearing continued
until January 20.
Miss Chase was held in Dis
trict jail. along with Lands and
Giles. Nelson and Patterson were
in the Hyattsville jail.
The latest arrests accounted
for all persons the Secret Serv-
ice has named as suspects.
Whether more will be implicated
was not known. but Mr.. Baugh-
man indicated he believed about
$35, 900 of the loot had been
spent. which would require quite
bit of spending over the short
period before the crime was dis
covered.
Three Automobiles Involved.
Part of the spending, however,
may have included three auto
mobiles. Lands paid $1,000
down on a $4,000 car but used
"old" money in the transaction,
Police said both Nelson and
Patterson are believed to have
purchased cars over the week
end.
Congratulations on apparent
solution Of the case came from
Treasury Secretary Humphrey.
But in doing so he also ordered
the Secret Service to review Sc
curity measures at the engraving
bureau.

be completely perfect" he said,
but prompt and thorough in
quiry might develop some rec
concentrations which would help
to prevent any further similar
difficulties. This would be not
only for the protection of the
Government but to protect our
employees by the removal of
temptation wherever possible.
