FHIDAY JUNE 151951
SCANNING THE WEEKS NEWS
of Main Street and the World
Costofliving Index Stabilized
For First Time Since June 1950
THAT RISING SPIRAL The governments predictions that prices
would level off as a result of Its numerous and sometimes contusing price
regulations seemed to be borne out with the announcement that the cost
of living Index has come to a dead stop
The bureau of labor statistics put out two sets of figures that Indicated
the upward spiral had stopped for the first time since the outbreak of the
Korean War last June
As for food prices the average

home town housewife couldnt notice
any decline but according to govern-
ment figures It was there all 2 of a
per cent of It At the present time
food prices are approximately 111
per cent above last June
The confusing beef picture remained
about the same with word from the
White House that President Truman
was going to stand firm behind
Price Director Michael V DiSalle on
his order for the rollback
THE PRICE WE PAY For the
first time since the Korean conflict
began on June 23 of last year the
price we are paying for victory was
made startling clear to the home-
town mothers and fathers of the na-
tion
Testifying before house and senate
committees Gen Omar Bradley
chairman of the Joint chiefs of staff
reported there have been 72 079 non
battle casualties In Korea boosting the total of all U S casualties In the
war to 141853
Bradley told the senators there have been 69276 battle casualties
Including 10680 dead Of the nonbattle casualties 612 died of such causes
as pneumonia automobile accidents etc Eightyfive per cent of the rest
have returned to duty
Release of these figures confirms rumors long circulated In the nation
that casualties have been more than double those officially announced
TRUMAN AND THE HOMETOWN It was evident that President
Truman had the home towns of the nation on his mind during his recent
news conference At two points he Indicated he had been giving them
considerable thougnt
For one thing he told newsmen that d third world war would turn
American soil Into a battle front He said he believes that the people
have enough Intelligence and energy to meet any situation But he In
die a ted he was unwilling to take a chance on seeing how they would
react under the destruction another world struggle would bring to the
home towns of the nation
The President would not say whether he will be a candidate again
In 1952 but he did indicate another of his famous cross country tour
to tell the home towners his policies was a possibility
In the 1948 election campaign the President carried his message to
the home towners and made hundreds of speeches to small but en
thuslastic audiences His appeal on the local level is credited with hl5
success In that campaign It seems likely therefore that another cros
country swing Is but a matter of time
APPEAL TO MAIN STREET Governments may argue and pass
regulations but they are ineffective If Main Street doesnt support
them This outstanding trait of democracy was demonstrated again
when the house agriculture committee appealed to housewives and con-
sumer representatives to come forward and defend the beef rollback
aimed at cutting the price of beef 8 to 10 cents at butcher stores bj
October 1
Under continued assault from cattlemen packers and distributors
the committee decided the best counterattack would be from Mair
Street customers They wanted to hear from any consumers or consumei
groups who think the beef order will benefit them
Meanwhile the government ordered a cut in the number of cattlt
that may be slaughtered this month The quota will be 87 per cent ol
the weight slaughtered In June 1950 The purpose Is to assure fair dls
trlbutlon of livestock among registered slaughterers and to prevent the
rise of black markets
WHAT CHANCES FOR PEACE Ever since the MacArthur Incident
Impressed upon the man on Main Street the awful possibility of yean
of struggle In Korea one question has been uppermost In the mind of
every American what are the chances for peace
At present there are being circulated rumors of peace proposals
These rumors have grown since United Nations troops broke the bacl
of the second Chinese offensive and then plunged northward to kill am
capture thousands of Red troops
But It would be well for the home towner to remember that talk o >
peace as circulated now are but rumors nothing more It would br
futile to pin the hope of peace on a rumor and then have It deflated bj
another Communist attack Military leaders In Korea report the killing
and capture of thousands of Red soldiers but still warn they are capablt
of another offensive It is well to remember that peace can not be
made by one party there must be two
RED CROSS IN KOREA The American Red Cross to which ml
lions of people in the home towns of the nation have contributed theii
dollars this month is launching the operations of 23 clubmobiles for thf
troops In Korea The clubmobiles to be staffed by CO Red Cross girls
Were requested by the military because of their adaptability to the
quick shifting Korean war front
A popular feature of the Red Cross services to the armed forces in
World War XI the clubmobiles will provide airmen and ground troops
with free coffee end doughnuts recorded music and stationery
They will supplement the one large Red Cross club operating at the
port of Pusan At present approximately 3G0 Red Cross workers and
more than 3000 volunteers re now serving American troops In Asia

FARM MANPOWER PROBLEM
Better Living Standard May Ease Problem
Reports from many sections of
the country contlnuo to show no Im-
provement in the farm manpower
problem Draft boards are still
handing out few deferments for
agriculture
Industry Is also draining off a
great part of the remaining farm
manpower reports indicate
As a result the nation Is entering
period of mobilization almost a
state of war with the fewest farm
workers in Its history
The labor problem Is further com-
plicated by the fact that many
workers now available are capable
of handling nothing more compli-
cated than a hoe They are a poor
substitute for t hired hand or son
who ha i a life time of training In
agronomy animal husbandry and
power machinery

Guilt Complex
Spanking Result
By Lawrence Gould
Did yonr parents spankings do you good
Answer Probably not though I
do not doubt they were not well
meant As one child psychiatrist
expresses it the man who says
that he was soundly beaten in his
youth and Is grateful for lt shows
lack of Intelligence and human un-
derstanding lie will probably take
his revenge on his own children A
child may be grateful for a spank-
ing only If lt takes the place of a
lecture since the sense of guilt
this may arouse may hurt worse
than a beating Parents usually
beat a child because then they do
not need to think why the child has
Incurred their displeasure
Do neurotics choose their
symptoms
Answer Yes In the sense that
substantially the same neurotic con-
flict may be expressed In one set of
symptoms by one person and In
quite another by his next door neigh-
bor One girl who feels she was
cheated out of her due share of
recognition by her mother may be-
come a kleptomaniac and another a
would be home breaker What Is
more a person who is cured of one
set of symptoms without getting rid
of his underlying conflict may sim-
ply develop a new one But the
choice of symptoms Is not con-
sciously made nor under the In-
dividuals control
Does the English language Ignore
womenf
Answer In certain ways it ap-
pears to and I have known wom-
en whose resentment at the sup-
posed disadvantages of femininity
has been Intensified by this fact
Other languages like Greek and
Latin have one word meaning a
human being regardless of sex an-
other for a male human and a third
for a female while In English the
word man Is of both common and
masculine gender but has all too
often been thought of as meaning
exclusively a male In such sayings
as All men are created equal
the word man Includes both
males and females but not every-
body knows this

Cause of Liver Trouble Hard To Find
By Dr James W Barton
OFTEN WRITE about the many
I
Jobs done by the liver manu-
facturing bile needed In digestion
of food storing up of sugar for
future needs supplying coloring or
other materials for the formation
of blood filtering poisons or harm-
ful substances from the blood With
bo many jobs to do It would seem
that when it fails to do one or more
of these jobs properly It should
not be hard for the physician to
locate the exact cause of any symp-
toms present aside from yellow
jaundice which can be recognized
by the layman
In Canadian Medical Association
Journal several years ago Dr II
K Detweiler Toronto Western hos-
pital stated Most physicians will
agree X think that of all the vital
organs of the body the liver Is the
one which provides the most diffi-
cult problems in diagnosis It Is not
an active organ in the muscular
tense like the heart whose con-
tractions create sounds which we
can hear to record their value It Is
not like the lungs whose movements
Thyroid extract has been used
luccessfully for chronic headaches
and for migraine
Decay of teeth decreased during
World War XI
Diabetes occurs oftcnest In fami-
lies with a history of diabetes in
those over 40 and in the ovsr
velght
create conditions which are readily
detected by stethoscope and fluo-
roscope x ray It Is not like the
stomach whose symptoms In dis-
ease arise wholly from conditions
which Interfere with the normal
muscular activity of the tract The
liver lies In Its alloted space Im-
passive and Immobile yet it Is
charged with more varied responsi-
bilities and more different functions
than any other organ In the body
Besides the functions listed above
Dr Detweiler mentions regulation
of blood sugar levels production of
fibrinogen and heparin In connec-
tion with necessary clotting of
blood the production of heat and
regulation of blood volumes It Is
because of this formidable array of
different jobs that the liver U
vulnerable to attack from many
quarters
Despite various tests for esti-
mating the livers ability to do Its
work there Is no substitute for a
careful history and physical ex-
amination
HEALTH NOTES
Extracts of various glands of the
body are In dally use for special
ailments
Dizziness sometimes Is corrected
by use of thyroid extract
Tho mass chest x ray Is an excel-
lent method of finding unknown
cases of heart disease as well as
tuberculosis
