against Reich take upper hond.
Nineteen hundred fifty four is
hardly half behind US, but it Is al
ready marked as a year Of Commu-
mist thrust and free-world parry.
The Red thrusts have been power
full and the Vests parties have been
uniformly puny.
Not even Washington's fun-loving
American Legion guests could soften
the impact of this suffocating real
lzation last week.
On Monday, just as Legion fes-
tivities were reaching their peak.
news broke here that the French
National Assembly had killed the
European Defense Community,
American backed fundamental Of
free world defense. even before its
advocates had had chance to
speak. Coming as 1t did on the heels
of July's Red victory over France in
Indo-C China, the event clearly
marked the summer of 1854 as
turning point.
Americas allies were pivoting
sharply away from her lead. They
weren't lining up with the Kremlin,
to be sure, but they definitely were
heading for middle ground. This
in itself is an estimable victory for
the Communists.
Defeat of EDO also focused an un-
usual amount Of resentment on
France. In West Germany it was
both widespread and official. Old
European animositieS were reappear-
ing and the goal of European unity
faded farther into the background.
Peril Of NeutroIism
All the statesmen of Europe turn
ed again, weary and exasperated,
to the search for new ways Of TAX
ing West Germany into the anti
Communist defense system without
risking a revival of Nazi-type mill
tarism. They professed to be hope
full but it was not at all sure they
could keep themselves from drifting,
in time. into a state of frustrated,
backbiting neutralism.
The same drift, already well de-
yeloped in Asia, was the cause of
another conference in Manila, to
which five non-Asiatic powers and
three Oriental nations sent repre-
sentatives last week. Meetings open
tomorrow. The aim will be to stop
the side toward neutralism in
Asia. But it was a foregone con-
cluSion that the treaty to be written
there would be merely another weak
parry to the strong Red thrust at
Wet Nam and other countries in
Southeast Asia.
India and Indonesia, the second
and sixth most populous countries
Of the world. have rebuffed unofficial
invitations to Manila, and are lead
ing what is left of free Asia into
the stagnant neutralist pool. Ameri-
ca has tried to tell them that there
is no place to hide against COM
munism, that the sane reaction is
active opposition. But only the
Philippines. Thailand and Pakistan
have listened. They want even
stronger military commitments than
America does.
These three will join the United
States, Britain. France, Australia
and New Zealand in the Manila
talks.

It was q confusing spectacle In the
Chamber Of Deputies as the vote was
taken. The issue ,Dns not to ratify
the EDO treaty. which provided for
the association Of West Germany
with France. Italy. Belgium. the
Netherlands and Luxembourg in an
international army under the North
Atlantic Treaty Organization. The
issue tDGs to postpone the EDO de-
bate sine die, meaning in this case
Gas every one was well ALVAREZ. In
eternHn1.
When the results became known,
nom Communist opponents Of EDO
sang the "Marseillaise." Communist
deputies (who opposed EDO because
it was bad for the Soviet Union)
broke out with the "Internationale."
Colin Premier
Pierre MendeS-France, who more
than any one else was responsible
for bringing about this strange and
sudden death to the long Lingering
treaty. was calm and confident.
He spoke Of quickly putting to-
gether an alternative to EDO. He
suggested adding Great Britain to
the edo group, making seven
power entente. Under such circum-
stances French and British sur
renders of sovereignty would be
equal, and the two long term
partners would share the major re-
sponsibility for keeping Germany
in check. Britain, however, has
never shown the slightest inclina-
ton to, alter its priorities in allie
glance, which place Europe q poor
second to the Commonwealth.
The day before the fatal vote, M.
Mendes-France made clear what
was probably his fundamental atti-
tude toward European defense. He
suggested that Frances first task Is
to strengthen herself economically,
so that she can be a forceful and
respected member of the West Euro
pean coalition. Until that time M.
Mendes-France apparently believes.
his country must somehow Stave OF
German growth or she will be SUBJ
merged again.
A Long. Hard Job
Rejuvenating the French economy,
of course, will not be q 30-day job.
It will take years. Meantime, M.
Mendes-F France could well find him
self casualty of Frances tickle po-
litical system.
The undercurrent toward neu-
tralism may even become strong
enough to sweep Chancellor Konrad
Adenauer out of power in West Ger
many.
Socialist Jules Moch spoke the
neutralists' warning for the future
in the opening days French National
Assembly debate on EDO week ago
yesterday:
"A dozen thermo-nuclear weapons
(H-bombs) suitably dropped around
West Germany would practically de-
stroy all life and infect with radio
activity the soil for long time. In
this terrible hypothesis what good
purpose could IL additional German
divisions serve and what would be
the military value of the survivors
Of an army on this field of death, Of
ruins and of poison? In truth. the
option today is to disarm-or If war
breaks out, to perish"
This Is the philosophy which has
infected Europe's opposition parties
and the virus Is spreading to the

spear that finished EDO. Had the
Reds abstained, the National AS

by q margin Of 264-224. But the

Common Cattle
Pay Better


turn of $56.16 per head on common
grade feeder cattle compared with only
$2531 for choice grades.
The experiment involved go yearling
steers representing five grades In the
15O-day feeding trial the best daily
gains were recorded for good lots, aver
aging 100 pounds; common and infe-
rior kinds gained 1S6 pounds; medium
grades, 1.80 pounds, and choice animals
averaged 1852 pounds gain per day.
The results of the study came pretty |
much as shock to veteran cattlemen
who had long accepted the theory that
choice feeders make the most economi-
cal gains.
Ten steers of each class were pur-
chased on the opened market Nothing
was known of their heredity. Their
weights ranged from an average of 642
pounds for inferior stock to 1888 for good.
Cost Less, Gain More
When sold, the steers in the choice
pen graded eight choice and two good.
The pen of good steers graded the
same at market time, eight choice and
two good But the choice feeders cost
$17.10 per hundredweight as feeders.
The good steers cost $3.50. The choice
lot gained 227.8 pounds per head; the
good lot, 278 pounds.
The most money was made on COM
mon feeders. They cost $10.92 and
gained 261.7 pounds per head. At sell
ing time nine graded commercial and
one good.
The inferior lot of mixed dairy steers
gained 2615 pounds per head. Slaugh-
ter grades were nine utility and one
commercial, but they cost only $7.93
hundredweight as feeders.
Profits in Grade Improvement
Profits were made by feeding the
stock into higher slaughter grades and
not through increased gains in weight.
Feed costs per pound of gain ran high
er for all grades than the selling price
per pound of live cattle.
According to Ed Coles, Oregon live
stock marketing specialists, the re-
search demonstrates that surplus feed
ers and lower grade slaughter grass
cattle may be profitably fed to higher
grades for spring slaughter.
It's evident now that the ability of
beef animal to gain is largely an in
herited factor. Better gains and better
slaughter grades can be expected if
feeder stock possess these traits By Of
fering production tested Sires who show
high rate of gain, the purebred breed
ers may be able to realize a greater
profit.
Feeding Improves Quality
Although records of rate-of-gain pro
duction breeding are not available, il
seems likely that the rugged, big-bonec
type of animal gains better than the
steer of finer beef quality, and there
is the possibility that these finer quail
ties will be acquired during the feed
ing period.
In realizing a greater profit from
feeder stock, the prices of feeders mus
be taken into consideration. Marke
conditions sometimes justify the pur
chase of lower grade cattle. The ties
demonstrated that economy of gai
went along with rate of gain, and tina
it pays to feed high quality feed t
low or high grade stock.

Dear Tom and Editor, The Republi-

It seems as if my article to YOU

sion. but far be it from me to get
into a controversy with my fellow

writing along that line.

to get buck each season, and
neither does any Of my party, but
the results Of the past season were
discouraging One of my critics
said it was due to drought. Did
not other counties where the deer
kill went ahead have a drought?
Garrett county's fell $50 short
while other Maryland counties
went up. CARROTS deer were poor
and below weight for age.
PENNSYLVANIA realized several
years ago that its deer herd was
becoming depleted, so they had a
onC-day doe season, which result
cd in more deer killed and still
the herd increased.
Apparently some of my oppOn-
cnts are bow and arrow artists,

Ike's Housing Program g. 0. p Opposition

Washington, February 3-The
twcnty-one G. S who have refused
to be repatriatcd have long been a
source of worry and discussion in
the Pcntagon, although there has
been no general agreement on the
course Of action which should be
taken against them
This lack of unity of opinion on
the issue was clearly evident when
an announcement came from the
Army last week that one corporal,
who had refused repatriation and
then changed his mind, would be
court martialcd A day or two
afterwards Secretary of Defense
Charles f. Wilson announced he
had personally taken the case
under advisement
There was also hot discussion
in military circles over what to do
about the tWenty-one G. Is who
refused to come back to the United
States right up to the deadline In
the end it was announced that all
were being given dishonorable dis
charges, but before that announce
mcnt came there were all kinds of
disagreement.
Some argued that these men
should be given discharges other
than honorable, but not outright
dishonorablc. Others wanted the
/ twenty-one tried in absentia, if
such a procedure was possible.
! Others wanted still other action
taken.
