THERE'S A MORAL

While wait to learn the outcome of the big British butter deal under negotiation, might reflect its possible object lesson to Congress and the American people,
 The sale of forty million pounds of that Govern ment surplus to Britain would be at the world price of butter which is about AZ cents pound compared with the present reduced price of 63 to 69 cents at home. Obviously, if Americans could have bought this butter for 47 cents at the time it made, there would have been no mountainous surplus lot of American children mg ght be better-nourished
 To say that can't make and distribute butter for AZ cents pound answer Nor is any answer to make butter to sell at 80 to 90 cents when people won't or can't pay the price. But somewhere in be- tween there is price at which this traditional spread can again become profitable item of trade-to the farmer the creamery, the retailer and the consumer instead of wicked rancid sacrifice the altar of politics.
 We think that is part of what Secretary Benson means by flexible supports" And we think the peo- pie, who had to pay in taxes for butter they didn't get to eat, will be looking for such changes.

Landing Gear Fails In Boeing's New 4Jet Transport

SEATTLE, R-The Boeing Air plane Company's 15-million-dollar 4-jet tanker-transport plane was crippled bird Saturday, resting on two engine nescelles, it's left land ing gear crumpled and the wing flap torn and bent.
 The landing gear buckled under Friday evening as the giant, 65- ton ship was being runway-tested at the Benton Airport southeast of Seattle.
 The craft came to a quick halt as it tilted over on its left wing engines and the landing gear rammed up through the flap. Sev- en fire engines roared up but not a drop of fuel was spilled and the danger was over in seconds.
 Company officials said none of the primary wing or airplane structure was damaged but that the accident would delay sched- uled flight tests by several weeks. It had been hoped to take the big ship up yesterday.
 The plane, dubbed the 707, is the first of its type built in Amer ica for possible commercial air line use or as an Air Force tanker. Fifteen million dollars have been spent in developing it in the air plane company's attempt to in wade the jet transport field now dominated by Great Britain.
 Company engineers said after the accident the landing-gea as sembly had been designed in a manner to keep it from rupturing the main wing supports or fuel tanks in event of failure due to excessive loads in landing.
 This built-in saftey feature, they said, prevented much more seri- ous damage than occurred in Fri days crack-up.

A revolutionary new 1eoprene-
nylon tarpaulin material that
may prove a money-saving ant
practicable substitute for some
farm buildings Is being intro
duced by the Dupont Co.
It is only one-third as heavy
as No. 3 treated canvas duck,
and has a tear resistance four
to six times greater. It has al
ready proved In tests that 1t has
twice the life expectancy of duck,
and this is expected to go higher
than three times that Of the
canvas. judging from the con-
dition of the tarps being used in
the field tests.
Sixty Of these "Fairprene"
tarps have been used by a freight
trucking firm on their fleet for
varying periods. up to two years.
Others have been In use by
trucking lines using open-top
trailers and by city pickup and
delivery trucks.
All Of them report that the
new tarpaulin material is light
and easy for one man to handle.
