Profit Down

fOtif GOWn
The Agriculture Department
this week had bad news for
farmers: net farm income de-
clined more than per cent dur
ing the first half of the year. A
further decline during the years
third quarter was forecast.
Net income for farmers was
reported to be running during
the first half of 1855 at a rate
which would put it at S11,100,-
100000 by the end of the year,
compared with $11,600,000 last
year and S12,9o0,0O0, 1000 in 1853.
Most of the decline from last
year was due to lower prices
received for hogs, a major farm
product of the politically i'm
portant Midwestern farm belt.
Cash receipts from hogs in
the first eight months were
down a half billion-more than
20 per cent-with prices aver
aging 80 per cent lower.
Receipts from cattle and calves
and sheep and lambs were
down slightly.
The departments income re-
port was issued at time when
many Democratic leaders were
criticizing the administrations
farm policies, claiming that they
are inadequate to assure farm
prosperity.

I ing internally, or that she is
critically in need of a respite
from Cold War during which she
can reduce her arms burden and
apply her energies to creating
better standard of living. 1t is
apparent that she wants to catch
up with the United States in in
dustry and agriculture.
Western Hope
What the Western diplomats
hope is that, while she is doing
this, her world expansion pro-
gram will lose momentum and,
perhaps, become so moribund
that it cannot be revived when
the Communists are again ready.
In the meantime, Moscow OBJ
viously intends to embroil East
and West Germany in struggle
for superiority among all Ger
mans, weaken the rearmarnent
movement and e-entually get
them to accept separation from
the North Atlantic Treaty AL
lance in return for unification.
If the Moscow talks had failed
to produce any results-and If
looked for a time as though
they would-it would have been
a setback for Russia's sweetness
and light offensive. AS it is,
Molotov is in a better position
when he goes to Geneva, while
Bulganin had to pay nothing
which will help the Allies.

AFRICA:Cabinet Approves

Iments when the National AS
Isembly reconvenes next month
Following the Cabinet session,
Faure appealed in a radio broad
cast for continued calm in Mo-
rocco. His speech-aimed chiefly
at French settlers in the pro-
tecterate-said the Moroccan
nationalists have not questioned
the right of France to maintain
"a privileged position in the pro-
tectorate.
The Cabinet action met the
Sept. II target date set by Faure
for getting a Moroccan settle
ment under way. The Premier
hopes to avert trouble from the
Arab-Asian nations in the U.N
General Assembly opening mex
week by pointing to Morocco:
early steps on the road to home
rule.

importation of capital equip
ment and technical services.
The center, sponsored by the
us. International Cooperation
Administration and the Philip
pine Council for US. Aid, is
patterned after U.S.-sponsored
productivity centers in Europe
and South America.
Its purpose, according to Re-
lnato Delfino, the center's deputy
director general, is to stimulate
and guide interest in business
Iventures.ss'We provide financial
assistance in the form of dollar
ALLEGATIONS to Philippine indus
|trialists. And we provide counsel
and assistance in the selection,
planning, engineering and man
agement of industrial plants"
Delfno, 35-year-old graduate
of Colorado School of Mines, is
cer-in-charge of the center
and heads a staff of rs Filipinos
The financial assistance is
made through loans with pc
riods varying from one to 10
years.
The industrialist applies to his
bank for a loan in pesos. If the
bank approves the loan-to be
granted at the banks risk-it
applies to the IDC for time
deposit in corresponding amount.
If the purpose of the loar is ap-
proved, the bank is given the
time deposit. The bank then can
loan this cash to the borrower.
The center has working fund
of 20 million pesos and a dol
lar account that is almost used
up. Further dollar funds are
expected to be allocated short
ly," Defino says.
Defino added that the center
has attracted attention in coun-
tries as far away as India. 'In-
dia is sending an observer to see
how this plan works. This is the
first project to help private in
dustries, not government cor
Iporations."

Arctic
Polar Research

Knowing the strategic yet for
bidding areas around the poles
of the earth may prove the keys
to victory in the event of an
other global war, the military
services have been working con-
stantly to learn more about op-
Grating in frigid climates.
Within the past year, Army
Engineers have conducted "a
survey projects on the Green
land ice cap.
This week they revealed some
of the information and tools
they have discovered. Among
them:
An electronic crevasse detec-
tor and electric trail markers
which, for. the first time, make
it possible. to travel the ice and
snow deserts safely under any
conditions. The detector estab-
fishes a field of vibration ahead
of a moving vehicle. When this
field is interrupted, the driver
knows a crevasse lies ahead.
Trail markers consist of two
wires laid along each side of a
charted route. Each transmits
a signal which can be picked
up in a vehicle travelling along
the trail. The driver can stay in
side the wires in much the same
way as an airplane pilot follows
a radio beam.
Engineers also found that tun-
neling under polar ice and snow
is surprisingly easy. 1t may be a
cheap and practical method of
providing a limitless supply of
shelter.
Milford chronicle., 1955-09-23

such relaxation itself would
eventually lead to a weakening
of the Western position.
One result of the Moscow
agreement will be that, when the
foreign ministers meet in Ge-
neva next month Adenauer will
be able to lay his position before
both Russia and the Allies as he
has been able to do only before
the Allies up until now. But it
will also enable the Russians to
make their play directly to the
Germans.
Russia has not yet demon
strated, as American diplomats
have hoped, that she is willing
to pay an important price for
the time of normalcy they be-
lieve she needs in which to con-
duct an internal rehabilitation
program.
Small Price
Return of German war prison
ers who are of little or no value
to her, and cooperation in an
atons-for-peace program from
which she takes more than she
puts represent no great sacrifice
or retreat from her policies.
There was maybe a little more

launched operation coopera-
ton"

solid signs that Russia is hurt

nizing two separate govern
ments, was more formal than
ever.
American diplomatic obser-
vers also tried to put good
face on the agreement, but the
British, either less sanguine or
more frank, displayed a certain
CONSERVATION.
Prior knowledge
Both London and Washington
professed prior knowledge Of
Adenauer's position in needing
to give something in return for
the prisoners, About all that
had been really expected, how
ever, was establishment cf some
such point of contact as that be-
tween the United States and
Communist China at Geneva. If
full diplomatic recognition did
not constitute surprise for
American diplomats, then they
had kept their expectations well
hidden prior to the conference.
Russia had suggested the con-
ference purely for the purpose
of establishing these relations,
and the other issues had been
injected by Adenauer. The Rus
SLAMS got what they suggested,
and Adenauer got the promise
of negotiations through the new
channels, with a strong indica-I
ton that the East German pup
pet government would be rungl
in on them, thus forcing from
him a certain de facto recogni-
ton.
1t was easy to see who had
won the victory of the moment.

Russia would use the new chan

cept in aircraft design which is
soon likely to become common
among all planes built to fly at

The new design, sometimes re-
ferred to as the "Marilyn Mon
roe shape" involves pinching in
the waist of a planes fuselage
at the point where the wings
are attached. Such a plane is

new members to the world or
ganization. This is g real Cold
War issue, with more than 20 ap-
plicants being barred from men,
bership either by the Soviet veto
or by a Western-led majority
in the Security Council.
There is growing belief
among U.N. diplomats that some
of these applicants will win
admission at the coming ses-
sion. This view was voiced
recently by Ambassador Jose
Vicente Trujillo of Ecuador,
chairman of the donation Latin
American group.
4 Trujillo said Austria almost
certainly would be admitted, as
a result of the new Austrian
state treaty, and that there ap-
peared strong possibility Italy
and Portugal also would gain
admittance. If he is right, the
log-jam would be broken and
others would follow.
This would be a spectacular
development, which would win
the plaudits of the small coun-
tries in the U.N. and remove
one of the big controversies of
the past 10 years. Russia has
used the veto % times on the
membership issue alone.
Reds Must Wait
Whatever happens on the IS
sue of admitting new members,
it appears certain that another
closely related Cold War issue
the seating of Red China-will
not be solved this year. The
United States and its allies are
agreed that the time has not yet
come for this.
Other major tests of the &C.
neva spirit may come on the
question of charter review, Cy-
prus, North Africa and Pales-
tine. On each of these, Russia
and the Western Powers have
usually clashed.
The spirit of Geneva has even
given rise to speculation that
the 1856 General Assembly
might be held in Moscow. AL
though there has been no Off
cial word that the Russians i'll
invite the Assembly, some dip
lomats are spreading the word
that the Kremlin is willing. The
first to commit himself in favor
of the move was the Ecuadorean
ambassador.

Grating at speeds of 600 to 300

Problem Answered
Technically known as 'area

problem which had baffied
scientists ever since man first
ran into the sound barrier.
Planes approaching or flying at
the speed of sound have been
subjected to a marked increase
in drag the slowing effect of
air resistance. Drag always in
creases with an increase in
speed, but scientists discovered
it took z marked jump at the
speed of sound.
Richard T. Whitcomb, 34-year-
old researcher for the National
Advisory Committee for Aero
Inautics, began working on the
problem in 1851 at the first
NACA transonic wind tunnel at
Langley Field, Va. Instead of
studying the increased drag on
the separate parts of a plane, as
others were doing, he considered

Important Relation

He compared the shock wave
pattern of an ideally stream
lined shape (similar to bomb
with no fins) with airplane mod
els. He discovered that if the
cross-sectional area of the model
plane with wings attached was
made to match the cross-section-
al area of his ideal shape, the
drag rise at sonic speeds was
very substantially cut.
The resultant design for air.
craft is such that if an "area
rule" planes wings were solid
and if they were melted down,
the molten metal thus produced
could be used to build up the
narrowed waist of the plane and
give it a perfect bomb" shape.
Perfected by 1852, the design
already has been applied to two
supersonic military jet aircraft
and will be used in another soon
going into production.

Reforms Begun

General quiet prevailed in
North Africa early this week as
the French Cabinet gave unani-
nous approval to Premier Edgar
Faure's plan for giving Morocco
a measure of self-rule.
Terrorists had called a gener-
al strike for Sept. II, the date
they had set as a deadline for
changes in French control, but
response was slight.
The custer of Moulay Arafa
as sultan was the primary con-
dition laid down by Moroccan
nationalistS for any settlement
in the stormy North African
protectorate. Cabinet members
gave no immediate indication of
how they expected to get the
sultan out of the palace in Ra-
bat.
I Points Listed
In addition to the removal of
Moulay Arafa and the establish
ment of a regency council in
his place, the program approved
by the Cabinet provided for:
l. Appointment of a new Mo
Iroccan government representing
the main political movements in
the protectorate.
i 2. Negotiation of political, eco
nomic, strategic and cultural
accords between the new Mo-
Iroccan government and France.
\ 8. Transfer of former Sultan
Mohammed Ben Youssef, the
unpopular Ben Arafa's prede-
cessor, from exile in Madagascar
to France.
Ben Youssef, exiled by the
French two years ago because
of his nationalist tendencies,
agreed last week to the settle

pledged that he would abstain
from political activity on his
own behalf pending a decision
by Moroccans themselves on his
