different angles of illumination coming from flares which were dropped
three seconds apart as the plane went up the river.

Rough Fish Trapped
Iowa is showing the way, some-
what, to other state conservation
agencies through its ’program of
trapping carp and buffalo and other;
rough fish, as a supplement to the;
tedious, expensive seining program
now in effect.
Fourteen large fish traps on nine
major lakes have been installed by:
the Iowa state conservation com-
mission to trap rough fish. The
traps are installed at the mouths
of bays where fish enter to spawn.'
Although the spawning season
was barely underway when this re-
port was made, large catches of
carp and buffalo were recorded.

HOUSING:
Action Seen
Indications were that despite op-
position from many quarters, the
administration’s big new housing
bill would get out of committee and
go to the house floor for action.
THE RULES committee, which
twice last year killed similar legis-
lation, had refused to clear the cur-
rent bill. But Rep. A. J. Sabath
(D., Ill.) was predicting the com-
mittee would act to clear the meas-
ure.
Sabath was on fairly safe ground,
for under the new house “anti-
bottleneck” procedure adopted in
January, the multibillion - dollar
housing bill could be put to a house
vote over the rules committee’s
objections.
THE housing program, one of
President Truman’s major cam-
paign promises, was approved by
the senate April 21 on a 57 to 13
vote. It then bogged down in the
house.
The bill calls for a vast program
of slum clearance, low-rent hous-
ing and farm housing aids.
TRUMAN:
Drops Curb Bill
There was one thing about Presi-
dent Truman—he was beginning to
develop the ability to recognize a
hint when he saw it. There have
been times when the President
seemed to suffer from an ability
to do that, but now it’s different.
The President, obviously with an
understanding ear to the ground,
has decided he won’t press con-
gress to give him standby war
powers.
THAT’S not only wise of the
President, it’s good strategy, par-
ticularly since it would have been
impossible for the administration
to convince the 81st congress that
any such powers are needed.
However, there was an official
reason advanced for the change in
objectives. One authority described
the revision of plan as a “quiet
demilitarization” of the national
security resources board on White
House, orders. In other words, the
emphasis would be away from keep-
ing the people agitated and alerted
for possible future war.
THE war powers bill would have
provided a detailed mobilization
act covering priority and seizure
powers, controls over prices, man-
power; production and transporta-
tion. It would, if enacted, go into
effect automatically on the declara-
tion of war emergency by congress.
Mr. Truman was said to have
decided it would be inappropriate
to try to get such a law passed in
peacetime.

compulsion in the relationship.
There is every evidence that the
Chinese Communists are in fact
eager to follow the dictates of
Moscow. And that revelation should
be enough to destroy any illusion
that the Chinese Communists are
just simple agrarian reformers.
They are whole-hearted, com-
pletely dogmatic Communists, fol-
lowing the doctrines laid down by
Karl Marx and adapted for 20th
century application by his disciples,
Lenin and Stalin—and by Mao Tze-
tung, leader of China’s Commu-
nists.
THERE IS as yet no conclusive
evidence that the Kremlin is giving
direct, active aid to the Chinese
Communists. But the affinity and
spirit of cooperation that exists be-
tween Moscow and Peiping, capital
of Communist China, is tangible
enough.
The application of China’s in-
ternal situation to the rest of the
world is disturbingly clear: Through
the rule of Mao Tze-tung and his
party, China inevitably is becoming
a massive extension of the Soviet
power-bloc.
PRICE SUPPORT:
Smoke, Smoke, Smoke
Arrangements for new price sup-
port programs for tobacco were
announced by the federal depart-
ment of agriculture.
THE government will make loans
on flue-cured tobacco at 90 per cent
of the parity price—as it was June
15. Loans on burley and other types
of tobacco would be at the Septem-
ber 15 parity price, except fire-
cured tobacco, which would be 75
per cent of the burley rate, and
dark air-cured tobacco 68% per
cent of the burley rate.
(Parity is a price based on the
relationship between prices of the
things the farmers have to buy and
prices of the products they sell. The
government uses a basing period
during which this relationship of
prices gave the farmer what it con-
siders a “fair profit”).
THE RATES a pound at which
the support prices will be paid was
to be announced in July for flue-
cured tobacco and for other types
in October.
The full loans will be made only
to tobacco growers who do not
grow more tobacco than they are
permitted under marketing quotas.
These quotas have been set up for
flue-cured, burley, fire-cured and
dark, air-cured tobaccos. There are
no quotas on other types.

TOPS IN TELEVISION . . . Lodged on the pinnacle of New York’s sky-
scraping RCA building, like a translucent bubble in the metropolitan
air, is the new NBC television plexiglass radome housing receiving
equipment for television. It’s all-weather proof—cool in summer,
warm in winter —as video star Kyle MacDonnell can attest after
inspecting the “dish” which serves as a receiving antenna.
The age-old controversy as to
whether fish show a color prefer-
ene in choice of lures is one that
probably never will be settled to
the general satisfaction of anglers.
But the fact that black as an at-
tractive color is effective is coming
from many sources.
Certain it is that black plugs will
take more fish on certain days and
under certain water
conditions than any
other color, and
the Louis Johnson
company, creators
of the Johnson
* ‘silver minnow, ” j
has reported excel-
lent results with
its new all-black
spoon shown here.
Tests of the
spoon have dis-
closed that it is particularly good,
both in early morning and late
evening, and also for cloudy-day
fishing.
. Apparently its hue gives it the
appearance of a “silhouette” in the
water because of lack of adequate
I light, and the tricky action of the
lure adds sufficiently to the decep-
tion.

Ex-Communist Editor Louis
Budenz is shown as he told a
senate committee that Ger-
hardt Eisler, who fled the U.S.
as a stowaway, was ordered to
Europe by Moscow to train
“new espionage agents” for use
in the United States. Budenz
testified in connection with the
committee’s probe of subver-
sive activities by aliens.
DEPRESSING:
'Right Now'
“I regret,” the senator from
Maine said, “that we are now in a
state of depression. It is not a thing
of the future. It is right now.”
After thus evoking the spirit of
the 1930’s, Sen. Owen Brewster an-
nounced blandly that senate Re-
publicans shortly would sponsor a
50-million-dollar public-works and
relief-planning program “to meet
the growing Democratic depres-
sion.”
THE BILL to be projected along
these lines would not in itself pro-
vide funds for public works, but
merely would finance the planning
of a “shelf” of such works to be
started when deemed advisable.
Sen. Robert Taft (R., Ohio), who
also is in on the deal, said that
what he had in mind was a bill
that would establish the framework
for federal grants to states if their
relief cases should reach a certain
percentage of their total population.
Said Taft: “What we Republicans
want to avoid is the creation of
another WPA like Harry Hopkins
ran.”
Without trying to guess how much
relief spending might be necessary
under such a plan. Senator Brew-
ster opined that would “depend up-
on just how bad this Democratic
depression gets.”
Whether this “relief bill” pro-
posal is sincere or whether it is a
cynical attempt to discredit the ad-
ministration in the face of the* com-
ing 1950 elections, only time would
tell.

David E. Lilienthal after
Strauss had told a congres-

“It is unusual to start with dis-

BUDGET TRIM:
Asked of Truman
Congress apparently wasn’t fool-
ing about its demands for more
economy in government. Nineteen
senators, representing both major
parties joined in sponsoring a reso-
lution directing President Truman
to cut federal spending by amounts
from two million ’ to four million
dollars. The reductions would be
made in funds provided for the
new fiscal year, which begins offi-
cially on July first of each year.
FARM VOTE:
Bait Is Set
There was more to the Brannan
federal farm program than had
met the eye. According to seasoned
Washington observers, the plan
would serve as a bait for the farm
vote in the congressional races
next year.
For instance, if administration
leaders could extend wartime price
supports for another year, it would
give voters a chance to pass on the
controversial Brannan plan. Thus
the plan could be dangled as a
major issue when Democrats and
Republicans began struggling for
the.important farm vote.
AT a midwestern Democratic
conference, both Brannan, secre-
tary of agriculture, and J. Howard
McGrath, chairman of the national
Democratic committee, made a
plea for extension of the price sup-
port program as they began to
plan for next year’s tug-of-war with
the GOP.
McGrath, making it plain that the
Brannan plan has Mr. Truman’s
endorsement, said continuation of
the present relatively high-price
support program was to be pre-
ferred to the Aiken long-range farm
law passed by the 80th Republican
congress. Unless congress acts, Mc-
Grath pointed out, the Aiken law
will go into effect next year.
The Brannan plan is designed to
support farm income at a “pros-
perity” level, but at the same time
to provide consumers with lower
prices \ for perishable foods—espe-
cially meat, dairy and poultry prod-
ucts—when there are surpluses.
It would use government payments
to assure desired farm cash re-
turns.
PRESENT laws direct the gov-
ernment to support prices of major
products at not less than 90 per
cent of parity.
CONJURER:
Name, Smile
Franklin D. Roosevelt, Jr., who
inherited a name and a smile to
conjure with and wasted little time
in conjuring with them, has been
duly sworn in as a member of the
house of representatives.
The 34-year-old congressman from
New York’s 20th district, filling the
seat left vacant by the death of Sol
Bloom, ran as a candidate of the
Four Freedoms and Liberal parties,
although he will operate as a work-
ing Democrat in the legislative
arena.
ROOSEVELT failed to get the
regular Democratic nomination
during the campaign so he ran on
the Four Freedoms ticket. In so
