Cease Fire ta!ks Resume in Korea;
WSB Advises Mew Wage {ureases
A MINOR DELAY—Negotiations for a cease fire in Korea resumed
at Kacsong after Comtnunists leaders pledged to keep the ennferenee
town clear of armed troops Gen. Matthew B. Hidgway broke off negoti-
ations after the Heds viohtted their pledge to keep Kaesong netttral.
Apparentty a tninor delay in the dendtoeked talks. Ridgway's action
nevertheless was a firm reminder that the United Kations expected the
Communist to abide by previous agreements. It was also a pointed
.hint that the UN means busine.-s and that peace can only be achieved
by honor on both sides.
i There stilt has been no announcement of any progress over the
question of a demilitarized ?one across Korta, which has deadlocked the
negotiations for days. The Reds insist that the line shati be centered
[pn the 38th parallel. The aliies want it at^ng defensible positions, south of
f&te parallel in the west but north of the oid political boundary in the
'center and east.
AN tSSUE FOR '52—The new price control law, signed reluctantly
by President Truman, will be one of the big political issues in the 1952
presidential campaign as
sure as "God made little
green apples." as the
cracker - barrel philosopher
would say.
The fact was evident by
the President's blast that the
nation's families cannot have
protection against inflation
until "congress repairs the
damage done by this new
act." He added, with a grim-
ncss of tone that startled
many reporters, that t h e
measure was "the worst I
ever had to sign."
The Republican and
southern Dixiecrat coalition
that had refused the Presi-
dent the powers he desired
in the bill, continued to
maintain it was a good meas-
ure if it was properly ad-
ministered.

WAGE iNCREASE PROPOSED—With the recommendation of the
wage stabilization board that cost of living wage increases be allowed
for all workers, it appears the administration wilt allow such increases
at once. President Truman hinted as he signed the new price control
law that the government would allow reasonable adjustments in wages
to fit cost-of-living increases.
The new regulation wouid effect workers who arc paid by the hour,
or are represented by unions, in three general classes: (!) Those who
had cost of living provisions in force prior to Jan. 28, 1951, the wage
freeze date; (2) those employers and unions who now want to include
such clauses in contracts; and (3) those who want to relate wage rates
to the cost of living but who do not want an escalator clause in their
contracts.
It is estimated that living costs have increased approximately 11
per cent above January, 1950.
THE WEST PONT STORY—The announcement that 90 West Point
cadets have been dismissed from the academy for cheating on examina-
tions caused considerable talk across the nation last week. The scandal,
breaking of the academy's honor system that dates from 1817, wrccked
the army's powerful gridiron team and was the largest mass dismissal
since the military academy was founded in 1802.
Maj. Gen. Frederick A. Irving, the academy's superintendent, ac-
knowtedged that the action taken was "stern and uncompromising." But
he added: "After weighing all factors most carefully, I. and the responsi-
ble heads of the army, are convinced that there could be no compromise-
solution that would preserve the vital honor system of West Point, which
ts the very heart of the acaatmy."
FOOD PRtCES— Home towners throughout the nation welcomed the
bureau of agricultural economics' report that ptcntiful supplies probably
wilt keep food prices from going much higher this year. But most home
towners, remembering the past 12 months of rising prices, accepted the
statement with reservations.
Since Juty of 1950 retail food prices have increased approximately
12 per cent. For the whole of 1951 they probably will average at least 10
per cent higher than in 1950.
The bureau said livestock and crop-production prospects indicate
that food supplies available during the latter half of this year will be
somewhat larger than a year earlier. The bureau also reported beef-
cattle prices at times may drop below ceilings during the heavy market-
ing season this fall. However, a strong consumer demand for meat may
prevent any substantial decline in prices.
The bureau said future increases in prices probably would bo limited
largely to revised price ceiiings under the new defense production act.
The new law relaxes limitations on margins for processing and market-
ing food and other products. As a result, some widening of farni-to-re-
tail price spreads may occur.
FUNDS FOR DEFENSE— The powerful house appropriations com-
mittee chopped $1,542,608,500 off the administration's requested military
budget, but the total for defense still is a record in the peacetime history
of this country—$56,062,405,890.
This amount does not include what the country will spend on Korean
War replacements and troops in Japan and Germany.
The bill would allot $20,125,574,665 to the army; $15,552,143,225 to
Ihe navy, and $19,854,128,000 to the air force.
The committee said a huge outlay is needed "to create sufficient
power to prevent disaster in the event war is forced upon us. At the
same time the group criticized the defense department's "glaring and
wasteful mistakes" in military purchases, "ill-advised buying" of civil-
ian goods, and wasteful use of manpower.
POLtO FUND—The Sister Kenney Foundation will open its annual
campaign for funds with which to continue treatment of polio and re-
search in the causes of the disease on August 20. The campaign will
continue until September 20.
Sister Elizabeth Kenney, who directs the foundation, is the Australian
nurse who came to the United States several years ago and since then
attained considerable success in the treatment of infantile paralysis.

Little Savers Buy More Then investors
The folks in the home towns of
the nation who save a few dollars
a week are buying the most defense
bonds, according to the treasury.
During the first five months of
1951, th^' treasury sold 11 per cent
more $25 and $50 bonds than during
the like five months last year. Dur-
ing the same period, however, sales
of the giant-sized $1,000 bonds were
39 per cent under last year.
A treasury spokesman said "in-
vestors" are not buying defense
bonds, but instead are putting their
money into things like real estate
and stocks—which are supposed to
go up in value as inflation grows.
As a result, the treasury depart-
ment will start a fall "national de-
fense" bond drive in an effort to
stimulate the sales of tittle bonds
even more.
