easier. and farm living more con-
venient
In the decade after 1910, the num-
Der of farms with electricity doubled;
combines and corn pickers more than
tripled; milking machines quadru-
pied; crop yields per acre and live
stock production per animal unit rose.
Now the farmer asks, what's ahead?
Crystal balls may be a bit clouded
for 1854, but they clear up remark
ably well when the experts look to
1860. By that time, it is predicted. the
population of the United States will
have increased to about 177,000. 900.
To eat as well, in 1860, as the nation
Is eating today will require an addi-
tional 2,o00.000,oo0 pounds Of meat;
SOC, 100000 dozen more eggs; about
5,000,000,000 pounds more Of whole
milk: several hundred million more
bushels Of feed grain, and correspond
ing increases in requirements for
fruits, vegetables and other foods.

hand was played. Mr.. Dale and
Mr.. Muzzy had already held two
big hands. On one they had
set Mr.. Champion 800 points on

Mr.. Muzzy won the opening

other is to cross-ruff. Through

plest forms.
At trick two he led a second
diamond. Mr.. Champion won
with the jack, cashed the ace of
clubs and led another club to
dummy's king. Now Mr.. Muzzy
came to his hand with the ace
Of hearts, led a third diamond
and ruffed 1t with dummy's
eight of hearts.
Mr.. Abel overruffed with the

Muzzy took the rest, cashing
another round Of trumps and
parking his last diamond on the
second high spade from the
board. Thus, he barely made
four-odd.
As you see. II he had set up
dummy's spade suit by ruffing
out one round, he could have
made six-odd on the hand

monds on the set-up spades.
Mr.. Champion was sore be-
cause Mr.. Dale had soft-pedaled

EYE OPENER - Marlene
Dietrich's first break insthe
theater came when she
landed q job as an extra
in q Max Reinhardt produc-
ton. She appeared In only
one scene. She and three
other extras. all dressed in
evening attire, sat at q table
in q corner.
Miss Dietrich was deter
mined to make herself
noticed, despite the unim-
portance Of her role. She
ordered an evening gown
with a neckline that was
daringly low.
Reinhardt. an old hand
in the theater, saw through
this stratagem. He changed
her position at the table so
that she sat with her back
to the audience.
During the remaining re-
hearsals Miss Dietrich tried
no more tricks. Reinhardt
had nipped her plan in the
bud. However. he had not
reckoned with the ingenuity
Of Miss Dietrich, who was
still determined to draw at
tention to herself.
On opening night the
critics and the audience had
eyes only for her-and she
had taken her first giant
step forward IN her career.
After the final rehearsal
the actress had gone to her
dressmaker and had had o
huge slice Of material cut
out from the back Of her
dress.

A balanced FEDERAL budget seems /
a long-term project indeed-if not
a political mirage. In discussing at
his press conference the need to
postpone the reductions in the cor
pOratiOn and excise taxes auto
matically set for April 1st, Presi-
dent Eisenhower said that expen-
diture had been cut to what was
considered the safe minimum.
According to Congressional lead
ers, the new Administrator budget
request will be for sixty-three bill
lion dollars, which would entail
deficit of three billions, even if
the present corporation and excise
tax rates are maintained. The Fed
eral spending-money for 1856 is
about the same as that for the fiscal
] year ending next June.
Democratic leaders, who are
again the wheels" in Congress, are
reported as generally favoring the
Administration program as revealed
to them in White House Confer
/ ences. But there is at least one dis
1 senter Virginias Senator Harry F.
Byrd, who still, consistently and
vigorously opposes the idea Of
spending more than you have.
Some time ago the Senator
4 pointed out that: "The 275 billion
dollar debt which we now owe is
equivalent to the full value Of all the
land, all the buildings, all the mines,
al the machinery, all the livestock
everything of tagible value-in the
United States. We are mOrtgaged
to the hilt."
In a more recent statement to
the press, Senator Byrd said, Il
regard Secretary Humphrey as one
of the ablest men who ever guided
the Treasury, but I am disappointed
in his statement that there is no
prospect of balancing the budget
for the fiscal year beginning July
1, 1855"
Mr.. Byrd pointed out that this
will be "the 23rd deficit year in the
last 26" during which time we have
increased our debt from Is to nearly
ESQ billions. He points out that we
are enjoying the greatest pros
perity in our history, that we are
not at war, and asks: eff we car
not balance the budget now, wheI
can we balance it? Are we on q
chronic deficit basis?"

Washington Letter
Our UN.DOing

WWA gAN~DOAAAa
The sole obstacle in the path Of
the ''One-worIders, so far as
Americans are concerned, is the
Constitution of the United States.
And just how vulnerable this noble
document is, without the buIWark
of a Bricker Amendment, is seen
in the recent four-to-four tie in the
Supreme Court on the authority Of
the UN Charter whether its pro
visions have the force of law in our
fOrty-eight states, and on the citi-
zens thereof.
"This is the first case" says the
magazine Human Events, to reach
the nations highest tribunal where
(says the Chicago Tribune) the
issue has been directly raised
whether such a treaty can super
sede the Constitution. Senator
Bricker, with the Overwhelming
support Of the American Bar Asso-
citation, has been insistently urging
that the Constitution be specifically
amended to prevent this from
happening, that if it isn't so
amended the door is open for de-
stroying the Constitution and the
nations sovereignty in a world
government by a mere treaty
The magazine goes on to point
out that only three Justices Of the
high court held in 1852 that Presi-
dent Truman had the power under
the UN Charter (but not under the
Constitution to seize the nations
steel mills, and that "the inter
nationalists have picked up one
vote on the high court since 1852
and need only one more Justice" tC
