If Continent to be Fully Guarded
Berlin Stocks Up for Emergencies
EUROPE
Just tn Case
The demands of the cold war are
becoming ateadlly more vast and
Insistent First and continuing li
money American dollars to stem
the tide of communism and protect
itself so the theory goes by pro-
tecting Europe
NOW IT IS MEN Europe wants
I American Gls to garrison the con
1 tinent A permanent garrison of
American troops In western Europe
even after German occupation
end s li vital to the Atlantic pact
defense several European experts
believe
THE EXPERTS quoted argue
that American troops would pro-
vide onthespot leadership for
Europes defense forces and would
serve as a reassurance to France
If German troops eventually are
too powerful In the western Euro-
pean defense
At present as the pact alliance
rounds out Us first year Its 12
member powers have about 22 dl
visloni of varying strength and ef-
fectiveness among them
The normal complement of a di-
vision Is 15000 men That means a
total of 330000 potential fighting
men ready to meet any attack up-
on the pact signatories It also
means that each pact signatory Is
putting less than two divisions Into
the overall plan to protect them-
selves
Under such a setup it Is conceiv-
able that America might have to
bolster the defensive line but the
setup poses anew the question
How sincere Is Europe In efforts
to rehabilitate and protect Itself
BERLIN
Fear Crisis
In the event of a crisis such as
that precipitated by the Russian
blockade In 1948 Berlin was ready
The west has stocked the citys
bins with enough food and coal to
make a mockery of any new block-
ade
In the 11 months since the Reds
lifted the blockade of the city a
steady stream of train truck and
barge traffic has piled up what Is
felt to be adequate supplies to meet
any emergency
When Russia clamped down the
blockade In an effort to Impose Its
own political convictions on Ber-
lin the city had only an average
of six weeks supplies on hand Now
the basic staples are In about six
months supply and In all probabil-
ity will continue to increase as
further stocks are added
It was felt that the Russians
aware of this process would be less
foolhardy than to attempt another
blockade effort but even so no
one was taking any chances be-
cause of the unpredictability of
Soviet action and of the old truism
that what has happened once can
happen again
HIGH COURT
Accused Must Talk
A ruling of the US supreme
court is likely to serve as a power-
ful stimulant for those accused of
Communist sympathies and refuse
to talk
The court refused to grant a hear-
ing to two Hollywood writers con-
victed cf contempt of congress
The action let stand a decision that
congressional committees may com-
pel witnesses to say whether they
are Communists The vote was
8 to 2
By its action the high court re-
fused to Interfere with a lower
court decision holding that congress
may abridge either the freedom of
speech or the freedom to remain
silent when legislating to avert
what It believes to be a threat of
substantive evil to national wel-
fare
The high court handed down the
opinion but did not explain Us
reason It took the action In a brief
order saying It would not hear the
appeals of screen writers John
Howard Lawson and Dalton Trum
bo They had been pending since
last August U Lawson and Trum bo
are each under sentence to serve a
year in Jail and to pay a fine of
1000 They had been free under
bond
The courts order noted that Jus-
tices Black and Douglas favored
a review of the case and that
Justice Clark took no part
Lawson and Trumbo were two of
10 prominent screen figures who
refused to tell a congressional com-
mittee whether they had been
members of the Communist party
Chills Charges
Brig Gen Conrad E Snow
head or the US state depart-
ments loyalty board testifies
before the senate subcommit-
tee Investigating charges of
communism In the state de-
partment He chilled charges
by Sen Joseph McCarthy It
Wis when he told probers that
he knows of no Communists in
the department
VACATIONS
Why Not England
For the American tourist plan-
ning a trip abroad England cant
be beat according to Farnham F
Dudgeon editorinchief of West-
ern Newspaper Union a newspaper
syndicate
DUDGEON visited England some
weeks ago along with 14 other rep-
resentatives of newspaper syndi-
cates press associations and
periodicals The host on the flight
over the Atlantic and the trip
through England and Scotland was
the British Travel association
which Is engaged In a campaign to
attract tourist trade to the British
Isles
The syndicate chief reported that
England definitely Is the place
to go for the American who wants
a memorable trip abroad at a
modicum of cost This is true he
said because of the many places
and things In England that are so
closely tied in with our own his-
tory
Right now England Is a tourist
paradise Dudgeon said Espe-
cially Is this true because the
pound devaluation has added so
much more purchasibillty to the
American tourist dollar For ex-
ample one may stay at almost
any of the picturesque Inns or ho-
tels for as little as 21 to 23 a week
TRANSPORTATION faculties In
both England and Scotland are ex-
cellent even If the equipment Is
somewhat battered from the war
The British are eager to make
Americans feel at home and one
gets the impression that this Is a
sincere hospitality not motivated
exclusively by the desire for
American dollars
There Is little need to remind
Americans of the particular charm
and beauty of the British and Scot-
tish countrysides with their lakes
moors heather famed resort spots
and historic buildings and land-
marks because they are known
even if vicariously to most Amer-
icans
But seeing them at first hand
is an altogether thrilling and mem-
orable experience Dudgeon said
RADAR
Day Night
The country was Informed during
the week that there Is at least some
Insurance against another Pearl
Harbor in the event an enemy
should attack That Insurance Is a
radar and civilian alrpIanespoUmg
network that Is now far enough
along to provide protection
The announcement also reported
that alarm systems have been in
stalled that can flash an alert to
air force Interceptor squadrons
and civilian warning centers with-
in a matter of seconds All these
moves simply are preparedness
officials stressed and do not in-
dicate any need of these defenses
Is Imminent
Air force officials said more
than 200 warning centers now are
hooked up and many more wll
hi
soon bo operation The centers
are selected by officials such as
governors mayors and chiefs of
police Headquarters will be In key
cltes and someone will always be
available to man the warning ap

Term Hybrid in Swine
Applicable to Offspring
The term hybrid has come to
mean superior producing ability to
the corn grower It Is natural
therefore that the terms hybrid
hog and hybrid boar should
Interest corn belt pork producers
It seems quite clear most agri-
culturists are agreed that hybrid
vigor eventually will Increase
greatly the efficiency of livestock
production Informed breeders
however believe that there are not
yet available adequate depend
able sources of boars for produc
lng hybrid hogs
Furthermore the name hybrid
In the accepted sense of the term
should be reserved tor the litters

ily ita a sign they are dangerously

crops well fed with nitrogen phos-
phate and potash put Ufa In the
soil and build up its organic mat-
ter supply They improve structure
and tilth
