THESE ADD VP TO HOUSING HEADACHE . . . Acron the
nation, if there was any relief from housing shortage, it was
spotty, inadequate. The twins (above) bora to her in Brooklyn’s
women’s hospital made the shortage doubly acute for Mrs. Wil-
liam Buckley. She and her husband, together with another child,
add up to five people who must share one-room apartmept. Mrs.
Buckley wondered where she’d park the twins when she left the

(OLD DEMONS"
Sir Stafford Cripps, British fi-
nance boss, lost no time in bringing
home to the people the import of
devaluation of the pound sterling
as an effort toward the country’s
financial problems.
His labor government raised the
tax on business profits and threat-
ened to restrict dividends by law
in defending the devaluation move
at an emergency session of parlia-
ment.
At the same time, the govern-
ment rejected any pay raise propo-
sals declaring this must be done to
prevent an inflationary spiral.
Cripps made these moves as he
opened the cabinet’s appeal for a
vote of confidence from the parlia-
ment.
TRUMAN:
Way Ahead
President Harry Truman was still
battling vigorously for his domestic
program in congress. With his usual
expansive attack on critics, he
charged present detractors with
being “160 years behind the times.”
NEVERTHELESS, the President
was making a strategic approach to
the congressional races next year
in a drive for women recruits to
the Democratic party.
In a White House radio address,
beamed at the women of the nation,
Mr. Truman pointed to “certain
people" who denounce his “fair
deal” policies as alien or danger-
ous.
THEY’RE NOTHING of the kind,
declared the President. In fact, he
asserted, “Our program consists of
measures which have come up
from the grassroots. Our program
is as American as the soil we walk
on. It is a program unshakably
founded on the principle that the
power of the government should be
used to promote the general wel-
fare.”
Dissidents might go along with
such items of the program as pub-
lic housing and expanded social
security benefits—but on the sub-
jects of farm price supports, as
advocated by the administration,
and socialized medicine, there
would be some arguments about
these being of “grassroots” origin.
TOSSING A BOUQUET to wom-
an’s intelligence, the President de-
clared that women are not misled
by political slogans, added: “They
look beneath the labels to see the
facts.”

ROCKETS:
For Targets
Just before the end of World War
II, the Germans reported experi-
menting with rockets that could
span oceans. Now, according to
information emanating from the
Soviet zone of Berlin, German
scientists are producing such rock-
ets for the Russians.
The informants, who were said
to have access to the offices of the
Soviet-packed east German police,
said the mammoth under-ground
munitions plant at Peenemuende on
the Baltic coast was turning out
rockets at full speed.
Allied intelligence officers con-
ceded they knew of "certain ac-
tivity” at Peenemuende, but de-
clined to elaborate. One of them ex-
plained :
"If Russia is making munitions
in Germany, it’s a high level mat-
ter and not for discussion here.”

The navy’s cold-killer has been
named “Corcidin,” derived from
"coryza,” meaning the common
cold, and "cide," to kill. The pill
must be taken at the first sign of

THE BOMB:
Do Reds Have It?
Does Russia really have
atomic bomb?
President Harry Truman said
they did; and for once, there was
no presidential contradiction when
Columnist Drew Pearson said they
did.
But whether they have it or not,
the Truman announcement stirred
up a nest of jitters everywhere.
DEFENSE CHIEFS backed up
for a new look at the world situa-
tion. Congress reacted as might
have been expected. The arms-to-
Europe program hailed the an-
nouncement as added proof of the
correctness of their stand. Other
congressmen blamed laxity over
the past few years in our state de-
partment and defense setup for
Russia's having the bomb now—
if she does have it.
A noted atomic scientist declared
that for Russia to contend it had
the bomb in 1947 was fantastic, that
the date was “one pulled out of a
hat.” But he said the Soviets might
well have the weapon.
Most tangible result in congress
of the President’s statement that
there had been an "atomic ex-
plosion” inside Soviet Russia was
agreement by house and senate
conferees on the 1.33 billion-dollar
appropriation for arms to Europe.
The legislators got together very
quickly on the view that to cut the
appropriations, as had been first
planned, would be an unwise move.
IN THE UNITED NATIONS, Brit-
ain’s foreign secretary, Ernest
Bevin, lashed out with a furious
tirade against the Russians, charg-
ing them with stalling efforts to
control atomic energy. Like Russia,
Bevin said, England wants the
atomic bomb banned, but the
British want effective control first.
Skeptics of the idea that the Reds
have the bomb were asking why
Russia wanted to outlaw such a
potent weapon, if she really had it
—or did she think the western
world suckers enough to outlaw and
foreswear use of the bomb and thus
give the edge to any ethics-lacking
nation who might have the bomb
and would drop it without warning?
TITO:
Get Out!
Yugoslavia’s Marshal Tito or-
dered nine Hungarian diplomats
expelled and accused Russia and
her Com inform satellites of “rat-
tling their arms” along the Yugo-
slav border.
HE STATED that his Com inform
enemies were “digging trenches in
Hungary and Romania.”
Apparently, the fiery dictator of
Yugoslavia was net frightened, still
ready to wage war with Moscow,
verbally or otherwise. “We will
.permit no one to impose their will
upon us,” he thundered.
Despite the dramatic atmosphere
surrounding expulsion of the Hun-
garians, Tito’s action was a retalia-
tory one, since it followed within
24 hours a similiar action against
10 members of the Yugoslav lega-
tion in Budapest.
TITO CLAIMED the Russians
were plotting to stage a revolution
in Yugoslavia in order to supplant
his government with a regime ser-
vile to Moscow.
(Whether or not the Russians had
the atomic bomb, as has been re-
ported, Tito didn’t seem to be any
less disposed to quarrel with the
Kremlin.
‘Awful’ Tobacco
BRITISH ECONOMIC CZAR Sir
"Stafford Cripps and Foreign
Minister Bevin attended a National
Press Club luncheon while in Wash-
ington where Cripps, who controls
Britain’s economy with a vice-like
grip, told in detail of British sac-
rifices of the dollar shortage.
“Just to give you an example of
the sacrifices we are making,”
said Cripps, “both Mr. Bevin and
I have given up tobacco as our
part of the program to save dol-
lars."
Whereupon Bevin, turning to his
luncheon companion, whispered:
“That’s not the ease at all.
The faet is I gave up smoking
because I couldn’t stand the
bloody awful tobacco Cripps
has been buying."
Note —In order to save dollars
the British have been partly shun-
ning North Carolina tobacco and
turning to their African colonies.

wasn’t a southern Democrat but a
midwest Republican who stopped
the senate labor committee from
approving the fair employment
practices bill behintj closed doors.
This is the most controversial
measure in President Truman's
civil rights program. But the vote
was blocked on a technicality by
G. O. P. senator Donnell from the
President’s home state—Missouri.
Atlantic Defense — The state
department has called a highly
secret meeting of the joint
chiefs 6f staff of the 12 coun-
tries in the north Altantic pact.
They will meet in Washington.
Food for Democratic Countries
—The food and agricultural branch
of the United Nations is setting up
an important organization to sell
surplus American farm products
to the undernourished countries of
western Europe and India. The
plan should benefit both American
farmers and Democratic countries,
and the experts claim they have
worked out a plan to lick the tough-
est problem in international trade
—the dollar shortage.
Senatorial Speculator
It looks as if Senator Thomas's
speculating partner, Dyke Cullum,
has diverse and widespread in-
terests.
Last week it was revealed that
Cullum, who frequently claims to
represent Thomas, had bought 10
carloads of egg futures at the same
time that the senator from Okla-
homa had introduced legislation
taking the support price off of eggs.
Senator Thomas and Cullum have
used a joint trading account on
the commodity exchange in the
past.
Now, in addition to eggs, it de-
velops that Cullum has been pull-
ing wires with the agriculture de-
partment regarding lard.
Cullum’s influence in agri-
cultural matters results from
the faet that Thomas, as ehair-
man of the senate agriculture
committee, can block or pass
most farm legislation.
Therefore, when Cullum, who
helps the senator write legislation,
demands inside information from
the agriculture department, ag-
riculture officials can't tell whether
they are giving it for legislative
purposes or for speculative pur-
poses. Naturally, inside knowledge
of government purchases and price
supports could be used to make
big profits on the commodity mar-
ket.
Is Senator In Lard?
In August, Cullum began pester-
ing the agriculture department to
support lard prices. Naturally, such
support would cause a spectacular
jump in lard prices.
The agriculture department, how-
ever, has adopted a policy of sup-
porting only agricultural products,
not by-products. A support price
for a by-product such as lard, it
feels, would not help farmers, but
the meat packers.
Nevertheless, Cullum phoned
George Parks in the fats and
oils braneh in the name of
Senator Thomas and demanded
a price support for lard. Parks
premised a written reply, and
when it didn’t come fast enough,
Cullum made two phone calls
to David Pettus in the livestock
braneh for information on price
supports. Again he suggested
that the government buy lard.
Each time be represented him-
self as speaking for Senator
Thomas and the senate agri-
culture committee.
• As a result of Cullum’s activity,
the agriculture department finally
sent a letter to Senator Thomas.
“This is in reply to a recent tele-
phone request from Mr. Dyke Cul-
lum to the fats and oils branch for
information regarding the calcula-
tion of a parity price for lard. As
you know, the parity price con-
cept heretofore has applied onlv to
direct agriculture commodities
sold by farmers. It has not applied
to products such as fats and oils
which are processed from agricul
tural products and sold by pro-
Something for Nothing
nOUTICAL, BUSINESS AND
• FARM leaders in California are
awakening to the fact that Harold
Ickes, when secretary of the in-
terior, and the federal government
aeid the state a lemon in the guise
off “something for nothing.” The
price that is to be paid wm inti-
naated by one of Ickes' aids when
he said: “The gaining of California
water and power was the first step
toward political control of the
state.” That is a portion of the
price the state is to pay for that
^smething for nothing.”
The central valley of Call-
lernia, lying between the high
Sierras and the coast range,
seats inii many thousands of
acres of productive soil if 1*
has water. The water is avail-
able to provide both irrigation
and power when it is controlled
and utilised. It is California’s
water. No ether state can have
any possible claim to any part
of H. Its utilisation for irriga-
Oen can benefit no other peo-
ple than those in that central
valley. It is a California prob-
lem only.
Along came Ickes and promoted
fee idea that it was something the
federal government should do.
The people of California eagerly
accepted that Ickes idea. They
were more than willing the people
of other states should do the pay-
h« for the salvaging for California
of the state’s water resources.
It promised “something for
■ething.”
While the project is only par-
tially completed the federal
elamps are closing. The federal
bureau of reclamation is eall-
tag the tune to which California
farmers and others must
danee.
California is n state of many big
terms. They are a legacy of Span-
ish land grants which were rccog-
■ized in the treaty with Mexico,
oirned following the close of the
Mexican war. Under the rules laid
down by the reclamation bureau,
no farm of more than 160 acres
will be supplied with water from
fee irrigation system. At the price
and under the conditions the gov-
ernment will supply that 160 acre
fanner, he can not afford to buy
pieces of that big farm, even if it
were offered. The price of water,
based on the cost of the section so
ter completed, is six times as much
as the cost in the state irrigated
■ections. It is a price for a lease
sriy No permanent water rights
■re acquired by individuals or
groups. The water can stop at any
moment the Washington bureau-
crats may say the word, or for
■ny reason they may assign.
To date the federal government
hm spent 2280,000,000 on the proj-
ect, with an estimated total cost
of one billion dollars when com-
pleted of which 2440,000,000 has
been authorized by congress.
Now the people of the state, in-
cluding the farmers of the central
vafley, are clamoring to the legis-
lature to throw the Washington
wastrels out and have the state
complete the project, which can
be done at a small fraction of the
federal government’s figure.
Ths people of California have
found that "something for
nothing" offer was a “phony.”
The price they are asked to
pay Is the control of their own
water resources, and along
with feat control comes regi-
montation and excessive dol-
lar coots, plus their state’s loss
of sovereignty. A price beyond
Masit.
It is but another of the many
■lustrations that the federal gov-
ernment has nothing to give away,
though it makes attractive offers
that in the end prove phoney.
Another and much worse proposi-
tion is now awaiting action by con-
gress. It is the Columbia valley
administration. If passed it will
prove a greater injury to the states
of Oregon, Washington, Idaho and
Montana than has been true of the
central valley project in California.
The possibilities are that congress
will pass that legislation. If so, the
federal government will take over
control of the water resources of
Chose four states, and their people
will be subject to the bureaucratic
rulings and regimentation of Wash-
ington. It too will cal! for payment
of a heavy price.
