BREAD In WHAT IS AHEAD the the American future for la Thli the question being people? asked throughout the length and breadth of the land, in the hometowns and rural areas, and In our major urbin centers. Insofar as making an accurate prediction is concerned there can be no definite answer. There is, however, one crystal-clea- r fact, and that is the American people must understand they are In greater peril today than ever before In the history of this and behooves nation that it every citizen' from high to low estate to realize thy must undergo whatever sacrifice, whatever hardship to fend off and conquer the imperialistic Soviet despotism which is committed to a policy aimed at not only conquering the free world, but in capturinf mens minds with the ideology of athetlstic communism. Watching the trend of events here In Washington since the decifateful, history-weighe- d sion of President Truman to top Communist aggression in Korea, there is every reason to believe that the United States will be In a state of mobilization of men and resources for the next 10 years,. Present indications are that the Korean war is a preview of things to come. It is fairly obvious to this column lhat if the people are not fully aware of the awesome dangers which confront our nation, they are 174-ye- ever-increasi- ar ng at least far ahead in their thinkelected their than representaing tives in the congress, and In some instances, seem prepared to accept more sacrifice and restriction than even the President himself is aware. Truman Ready for Crisis Unfortunately, this is an election year and despite the acute danger which threatens the moves on Capitol Hill to back up the President have been tinged and weighed with political considerations. As a matter of fact, although the President himself has declared politics out the window, some of his satellites still persist In looking at the situation through politically tinted glasses. This fact, however, doesnt Justify some of the news stories which are going out of Washington through some mediums to the effect that all here is confusibn and muddled thinking, or that the President is not giving his associates a clear sense of direction, or there is a scramble for power or bicker small-bor- e bureau ing among Bright, Easy Embroidery-AmusinFarm Scenes g When you want bread crumbs to use for frying, put stale slices of bread through the meat grinder and mix the crumbs with equal parts of flour. In grinding the bread crumbs, you can avoid a lot of mess if, instead of catching them in a bowl as they come out, you tie a paper bag securely over the end of the grinder. crats as one writer called it. This writer believes that the record shows that President Truman what ' might happen anticipated long ago and that he was primed and ready when he made his decision even over the advice of his military leaders and his political advisers. He made it on a moral principle to which this nation was committed. That he did not have the tools at hand is no fault of Mr. Truman, and had he waited even a day, it is likely there would have at Pusan on been no beach-heawhich to make a landing. ' If you have trouble getting the shell to separate from hard-boile- d eggs, run cold water over the eggs as soon as you take them out of the boiling water. , d On what is the record? recJanuary 4, 1949, Mr. Truman ommended to the congress to set controls to up a system of stand-bbe used in an emergency, to impose price ceilings on scarce commodities which basically effect essential production or the cost of living. A few days later In his economic message be spelled out these proposals and on Feb. 15, 1949, he sent congress the draft of a stabilization bill which advocated these stand-b- y controls. On March 3, 1949, he told news- men at a press conference he needed these powers for any sudden development. On January 7, 1950, he again sounded a warning in his economic legislators to give him power to regulate consumer credit, to regulate speculation in commodities on the commodity exchanges and to give the federal reserve board authority over banking reserves. That is the record. . Then y IISRB Directs Mobilization This reporter has talked to officials in the national security resources board, aside from the military establishment, the most important war agency today. There is no confusion there, except the incidental confusion to haste. The only doubt to be resolved in the minds there is how far to mobilize. moThey are geared to all-obilization of men and resources, but that would mean placing the nation on the same footing it was when we had 14,000.000 or more men in the military establishment. Today we have something like 1,500.000 and are increasing that number daily, but the President reasons, and so do oher officials, that we do not now need resources and producion mobilization on the same scale as if 14,- ut 1 Waxed cardboard milk containers, washed and thoroughly dried, make handy receptacles 'for bread crumbs.
