WEEK'S NEWS of Main Street and the World Cest-of-Livi- 406 Million For First lime Since June, 1950 THAT RISING SPIRAL The government prediction that prices would level off as a result of its numerous and sometimes confusing price regulations, seemed to be borne out with the announcement that the 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 government figures it was there all .2 of a per cent of it. At the present time food prices are approximately 11.1 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. g For THE PRICE WE PAY the first time since the Korean conflict began on June 25 of last year, the price we are paying for victory was made startling clear to the home town mothers and fathers of the nation. Testifying before house and senate committees, Gen. Omar Bradley, chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, reported there have been 72,679 nonKorea, boosting the total of all U.S. casualties in the battle casualties in war to 141,955. Bradley told the senators there have been 69,276 battle casualties, including 10,680 dead. Of the nonbattle casualties, 612 died of such causes as pneumonia, automobile accidents, etc. Eighty-fiv- e 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. Bibles in 135 Years This year, the American Bible Society will celebrate 135 years of service in promoting wider circulation of the Bible. It was in May, 1816, t h a t a group of Christian leaders gathered in New York and founded the national society for the distribution of the Bible . America was embarking on a great period of expansion when the Bible Society was founded. New York was a small city of some 100,000 people clustered around the Battery, but the country was spreading westward. Already settlements of hundreds, then thousands of homes were dotting the wilderness. It was the era of the American pioneer, and along with the need for roads and schools came another the need for Bibles. Although there were local societies for this purpose in their own communities, none was able to fulfill the needs to the west. It was Samuel J. Mills, the father of the foreign missions," who was most instrumental in calling together the historic meeting which brought about the formation of a national Bible society. Many notables of the day were in attendance. Among them were Dr. Lyman Beecher, the father of all the Beechers, James Fenlmore Cooper and Elias Boudinot, who as president of the Continental Congress had signed the peace treaty with Great Britain in 1789. Boudinot was elected the first president of the society. His was John Jay, the first chief justice of the United States supreme court. In later years, still another great supreme court chief justice was to serve as of the society, Charles Evans nt TRUMAN AND THE HOME TOWN 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 thought. For one thing, he told newsmen that a 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 indicated 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 y tours to tell the home towners his policies was a possibility. In the 1948 election campaign the President carried his message to By INEZ GERHARD the home towners and made hundreds of speeches to small but enthusiastic audiences. His appeal on the local level is credited with his PARAMOUNT, as some other film were drawing in their success in that campaign. It seems likely, therefore, that another crosshorns financially, launched its new country swing is but a matter of time.

Under continued assault from cattlemen, packers and distributors, the committee decided the best counterattack would be from Main Street customers. They wanted to hear from any consumers or consumer groups who think the beef order will benefit them. Meanwhile the government ordered a cut in the number of cattle that may be slaughtered this month. The quota will be 87 per cent of the weight slaughtered In June, 1950. The purpose is to assure fair distribution of livestock among registered slaughterers and to prevent the rise of black markets. cross-countr- o , SSWORD U.S. Society Has Distributed Index Stabilized ng CASTLE DALE, UTAK WHAT CHANCES FOR PEACE? Ever since the MacArthur Incident Impressed upon the man on Main Street the awful possibility of years 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 back of the second Chinese offensive and then plunged northward to kill and capture thousands of Red troops. But it would be well for the home towner to remember that talk of peace as circulated now are but rumors nothing more. It would be futile to pin the hope of peace on a rumor and then have it deflated by another Communist attack. Military leaders in Korea report the killing and capture of thousands of Red soldiers, but still warn they are capable 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 millions of people in the home towns of the nation have contributed their dollars, this month is launching the operations of 28 clubmobiles for the troops in Korea. The clubmobiles, to be staffed by 60 Red Cross girls, were requested by the military because of their adaptability to the g Korean war front. A popular feature of the Red Cross services to the armed forces in World War II, the clubmobiles will provide airmen and ground troops with free coffee and doughnuts, recorded music and stationery. They will supplement the one large Red Cross club operating at the port of Pusan. At present approximately 360 Red Cross workers and more than 3,000 volunteers are now serving American troops in Asia. quick-shiftin- 'VC BARBARA RUSH Mary Murphy, who looks like a young Margaret Sullivan, and the others, and predict their careers. 1939s Golden Circle included Susan Hayward, William Holden, Evelyn Keyes, Betty Field, Patricia Morrison, Ellen Drew, Robert Preston, Janice Logan, Joyce Matthews, Judith Barrett, Joseph Ellen and Louise CampbelL 1951s crop is as promising. - ACROSS DOWN 1.

From their first small headquarters in the offices of a printer, they moved into their own establishment. After repeated enlargements, the society moved to their own building on Astor Place, which was then so far uptown as to be considered almost a suburb of the city. The Bible House, which was the only building of its day to occupy an entire block in New York, was the show place of the city. Today, although the Astor Place Bible House is still being used, main headquarters for the society is housed in a modern building on Park Avenue and 57th Street in Spurt out Stationary part (mach.)

FARM MANPOWER PROBLEM Better Living Standard May Ease Problem Reports from many sections of the country continue to show no improvement 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 a period of mobilization almost a state of war with the fewest farm workers in its history. The labor problem is further complicated by the fact that many workers now available are capable of handling nothing more complicated than a hoe. They are a poor substitute for a hired hand or son e who has a of training in agronomy, animal husbandry, and power machinery. life-tim- y, i To-da- y d one-ha- lf |
