Show sB THE BULLETIN, BINGHAM CANYON, UTAH -- i CHIEF EXECUTIVE . . . Thomas E. Dewey, who was born in Owos-r-o, Mich., March 24, 1902, began his meteoric rise as a national fig-ure in 1931 when he was appoint-ed United States attorney for the southern district of New York state. As prosecuting attorney for New Vork county, he gained fame In prosecution of gangsters. De-feated for governor in 1938, he ran again in 1942 mid was elected by a wide margin. He was re-elected In 1946 after losing the presidential contest in 1944 to the late Eranklin D. Roosevelt. ( Editor's Note: This is another in the "Stories oj the States" series.) By EDWARD EMERINE WNU Features Let's think of 2,000,000 cat-tle and 350,000 head of sheep. Just imagine pastures so lush that each section of land cares for 40 head of cattle. Picture a state where farms average 112 acres each. No, it's not some western state. It's New York! After all, Manhattan Island Is a small part of the area of New York, which is 49,576 square miles of farms, orchards, mountains, val-leys, streams, lakes, forests and oth-er rural, beautiful and natural things. Times square, Greenwich village. Fifth avenue and Wall street are rivaled by Niagara falls, the Adirondacks, the Catskills, Lake Placid and Mount Marcy. The sub-ways are no match for ski runs and toboggan slides. It's a long step from the Bowery to country lanes and old farmsteads. Champlaln Came First. New York has so many firsts they can't be counted. Samuel de Cham-plai- n was the first white man to set his foot in New York as well as the first to teach religion to the Iro-quois. Within a year Hendrik Hud-son anchored his little ship off Coney island, finally sailing up the river which bears his name to the present site of Albany. Two years later some Amster-dam merchants were given a trading charter for New Neth-erlan- d, as New York was to be known. The first post was set up in 1613 on Manhattan; the second in 1614 at Fort Nassau on Castle Island, south of the pres-ent Albany. Ten years later all Manhattan island was pur-chased from the Indians for $23 worth of trinkets. Forty years later, in 1664, a Brit-ish fleet demanded surrender of New Amsterdam, and Director-Genera- l Peter Stuyvesant found himself with little support. He capitulated, and the duke of York was granted the conquered land. "New York" became the new and lasting name. As years passed, more and more people flocked to the New World, many of them finding the rich lands of New York state to their liking. Hamlets, villages and cities sprang up, knit, together with a network of aboriginal trails that eventually be-came roads and highways. Albany's geographic position, at the cross-roads of the state, made it a key frontier settlement in the 17th cen-tury. Leads in Population. The battleground of Saratoga, Champlain valley, Fort Montgom- - Stlll, there are 153,238 farms in New York state, the appraised val-ue of which is more than a billion dol-lars The average growing season is often as high as 210 days, par-ticularly in the Long island section. New York's own fruits and vegeta-bles supply the state's large can-ning industries. Wines, champagnes, oysters, seafoods, poultry, eggs and other products go to nearby mar-kets. The last prewar year placed a total value of more than 300 mil-lion dollars on New York's agricul-tural products, with milk the largesl farm revenue producer. Today the port of New York City Is the nation's foremost center ol foreign trade, and yet its people like to recall that it was there thai George Washington was sworn in as first president of the United States. Buffalo is the nation's largest fresh-water port, yet when white men first came they found a bassvvood forest and Erie Indians fishing and hunt-ing along the creeks and lake. And there are Binghamton, Rochester, Syracuse, Utica, Yonkers and others all playing an important part in commerce and trade today. Those who live in New York anywhere in the state have playgrounds close at hand. There are mountains, seashores, lakes, rivers, waterfalls, farm lands and more than 70 state parks. Niagara falls, the Thou-sand islands, Ausable chasm, the Palisades, Howes caverns. Lake George and many others are points of interest for natives and visitors alike. Lake Placid is internationally known as a summer and winter resort, with toboggan slides, ski runs, skating rinks, stables for ski-joring horses and kennels for sled dogs. There are literally hundreds of other places in the state for win-ter sports. Saranac lake is famed as a health resort as well as a win-ter and summer sports center. Lures Vacationists. Coney island, Brighton and Man-hattan beaches, and Long island, with its Riis park, Rockaway, Long beach and Jones beach, provide a playground for the great metropoli-tan areas. Southampton is the scene of a noted society colony, and Staten island has a number of resorts And there's still New York City, with its universities, its cathedrals, museums, libraries, subways, bridges, parks and driveways one of the great wonders of the mod-ern world! Yes, New York state has so many firsts they can't be counted. It is rural; it is metropolitan. And al-ways it is refreshing in its variety of pursuits, pleasures, recreational advantages and unusual natural beauty. ery, Valley of the Mohawk, the N-iagara frontier from these grew New York, a state which has mush-roomed from scattered colonies to the most populous state in the union with 13,479.142 inhabitants! Through the years, the centu-ries and many wars, the great industrial commonwealth of New York has emerged. Dur-ing World War II, of all the war contracts awarded by the fed-eral government In the 48 states, 11 per cent went to industrial plants in New York state. Of the 100 largest Industrial cor-porations in the nation, 94 are represented in New York City. New York's variety of products range from heavy metals and ma-chinery to exquisitely polished dia-monds. Shoes, paper, books, maga-zines, furniture, carpets, business machines, locomotives, cameras, photographic films, precision instru-ments, electrical equipment and the list grows on and on all these are produced in the factories of New York. Its apparel industry pro-duces 48 per cent of the nation's clothing, and 45 per cent of rugs and carpets comes from there. TYPICAL NEW YORK SCENES . . .

Truman Draws Battle-Line-s Against Red Expansionism By BAUKHAGE News Analyst and Commentator. WNU Service, 1616 Eye Street, N. W., Washington, I). C. WASHINGTON. When Harry Truman enunciated what the Wall Street Journal, a periodical not given to poetic n tiousness, called "Demo-cracy's Monroe Doctrine," he probably didn't realist the mult-ifarious effects thereof. At this writing neither congress nor the country has quite recov-er,. H frnm thp of the party, Eugene Dennis. What are the Communists after? The new Kiplinger magazine, pub-lished in Washington, says in its March issue: "As spelled out In their own words, American Communists have three major alms In the United States: The revolutionary over-throw of capitalism and the capi-talist state, a Soviet form of gov-ernment under a 'dictatorship of the proletariat,' and finally, the Com-munist heaven-oncartl- i, a collectlv-Is- t economy leading to a classless society. "Of the three alms, their first is revolution. Not merely change, but revolution, planned, led and controlled by the disciplined Communist minority. 'The libera-tion of the working class from the yoke of capitalism cannot he ef-fected by slow changes, by reforms, but only by revolution.' " (Editor Kiplinger says if you want chapter and verse for his authority for the above statement, write to him at 1729 G Street, N. W.. Wash-ington 6, D. C, and he will send them to you.) It Is not likely, however, that the party will be banned by law. Not be-cause congress loves the Commu-nists. But even that ardently anti-re- d group, the committee on activities, doesn't approve of wiping out the party. An anonymous member of the committee recently pointed out that if the party was broken up, it would simply go un-derground, where its devious ways would be harder to follow. A worm on the surface is worth two dozen underneath the soil, as any early FBI bird will testify. LiYe Insurance Increases in U. S. On the average, there were over 4 life insurance policies per family in the United States at the end of 1945, it is revealed in a survey by life insurance companies. In amount of life insurance owned, the average pe. family was $4,000 at mid-yea- r 1945 The average 1945 protection per family was more than 20 per cent larger than that of 1940 and was times the 1920 protection aver-ag- e The 1945 average per family of life insurance owned was nearly equal to the 1945 average income per family, the average per family of national Income in 1945 being $4,-30- In 1920, the average protection per family was nearly 50 per cent below the average of national in-come per family. This gap was nar-rowed in the ensuing years, until in 1927 the protection average exceed-ed the income average. In the years of depression that followed, the pro-tection average went as high as 2H times the income average. In 1943, as wartime incomes expanded, the income average again topped the protection average. impact of those Baukhage words read with the matter-of-fac- t, undramatic, cracker-barre- l diction of a matter-of-fac- t, undramatic, unor-atorica- l, cracker-barre- l man. When I heard the President read them, standing there, calm and confident, at the lectern of the reading clerk on the house rostrum, looking up from the text only occasionally with that bird-lik- e tilt of his head, as the television cameras purred gently from the opposite gallery, I felt a little worried. The cabinet members seated in the well, the senators in the first rows of seats, the house members crowded into rows behind them all seemed almost glum.i I didn't realize the solemnity of the message which held them in a re-strained silence. Only thrice was there applause after he began to speak. Before and after there was plenty and It was evenly balanced, it was not weighted heavily on the side of the admlnis-tratio- n party as it usually is when a President speaks. When the speech was over it was the same. The senators left in si-lence; there was little or no com-ment. As Senator Lodge said when a radio man plucked at his sleeve and asked if he would submit to an Interview: "I can't think THAT fast." Even the fast and sound thinkers wanted time to think lei surely and deeply. Since that day thousands of word? have been spoken and printed in thousands of cities all over the world, about that message which covers a little more than four and a half pages, typewritten (on both sides of the sheet since wartime economy still is practiced at the White House). In many odd corners of the bazaars and market places those words crackled like tiny elec-tric sparks. And everywhere thoughtful. Intel-ligent people in foreign countries those who had always looked upon America as a nation whose political and cultural outlook was most sym-patheti- c to their political and cul-tural outlook, but whose economic theories pointed further to the right than their own socialistic leanings-ponde- red. These were people to whom Soviet Russia was primitive, harsh, cruel In Its methods. Never-theless Russia's economic theories differed less from their own than did the economic theories of the United States, whose civilized, friendly and humane characteris-tics attracted them. They found that they must choose. They must say to Russia or America: "Whither thou goest, I will go; and where thou lodgest, I will lodge: thy people shall be my people; and thy ways shall be mine." Perhaps never before in history had a great nation so certainly divided the sheep from the goats, the friends from the enemies. The President's plan Is more than a moral question. It involves more than abstract principles of political economy or social philosophy. It sets forth with shuddering simplic-ity to the wavering nations of the world the warning that they must run with the hare or ride with the hounds: they must have no other political god before Demos the spirit of the people. Either majority rules in your house or your house is ruled out of bounds. In other words, cabinets and cabi-net makers, premiers and will no longer dance to the Kremlin's tune if they expect Uncle Sam to pay the piper or the butcher or the baker.

Unfortunately the picture, like most of the originals, went astray. Since that article ap-peared, two national magazines published stories about this magnificent bird, whose whoop is becoming fainter and fainter every day. One article esti-mated that only a hundred spec-imens were still alive and whooping. The other article placed the number at 29. Says the Fish and Wildlife service of the department of the interior, which Is conducting a survey of these, the tallest (man-size- ) and most beautiful of American birds; "fewer than 40" have been counted.

New York City means finer jewelry, better places to eat, more entertainment, glamorous personali-ties, artists, writers, songs, the stage. Broadway and Fifth avenue, Times sauare, Wall street, Green-wich village those names have charm and lure to dreaming youths in Kansas, Michigan, Missouri, even California. New York City does not belong to New York state alone. It is the metropolis of all the states, the chief city of a nation. It is the largest, the richest, of all. Moreover, New York holds the same proud position relatively in the entire world. No other city has so large a population within equivalent boundaries. No other city in the world controls such great monetary wealth or buys and sells such quantities of com-modities. No other city handles as large a volume of foreign trade. Ni other city on this earth manufac tures an equal volume or value o commercial articles. The park area in New York Cib covers nearly 8,000 acres. Larges is Central park, covering 843 acre in the heart of the city.
