Assails Truman ARMED FORCES: A tie Team doubts that observers might about the success ot armed forces unification in the United States was dispelled with the observance of the first national Armed Forces Day. For the observance, America s fighting forces across the world paraded in the mightiest show of The power since World War 11 Any have entertained biggest show of all went on in Germany where more than 85,000 Yanks demonstrated their readiness. The days message to the world was plain: The United States Is awake to the menace of Communist aggression and is readying Us defenses. President Truman took the occasion to tell the public that if congress had passed his universal military training program five years there would have been no ago cold war. He also invited all Americans to take stock of the state of our readiness to defend ourselves against aggression. And, in general Americans were pleased and impressed with what they saw on parade. Although the forces were less in number, they seemed well trained, power-packeunits that would form the backbone of new armies should the situation arise. Army, navy and air force put on a united front that was pleasing to observers who remember recent unification squabbles between the services. BOSTON: Taste of Tradition Climaxing Its Jubilee celebration, staid old Boston let down its hair by serving dinner to 10,000 on the Common and holding a barn dance at the Garden. Believed to be the largest meal ever served to a sealed group, the guest got a taste of tradition by consuming five tons of baked beans, three tons of potato salad, and 3,500 pounds of ham. Earlier events of the Jubilee were designed to call attention to the cultural business, industrial, and recreational advantages of Boston and New England. Serving the "baked bean supper and all the trimmings took less than an hour, some kind of a record. The trimmings included 2,000 loaves of brown bread, 12,000 Individual apple pies. 12,000 servings of cheese, and 12,000 Parker house rolls. One thousand volunteer waitresses, supervised by 40 home economists and dieticians, served the food. UNEMPLOYMENT: Worker's Output Up According to the federal reserve hoard the individual workers increased output has been one of the big factors In the unemployment picture since last summer. The board analysis of "labor market developments point to two influences at work on the part of business management: 1. "Large profits and strong financial position in recent years have encouraged business to spend record amounts for new machinery and equipment of highly efficient Sen. Robert Taft is shown above speaking over a nationwide radio network. He charged in his speech that the administration hat shaken the confidence of the people and seeks to elect a "subservient congress to vote into law policies that would wreck the country. DEFENSE: West United At one point in their policy making in recent years, the Russians reasoned, and not without basis, that the western powers would never really be united. That reasoning, however, has received a terrific Jolt. The 12 western nations, members of the Atlantic pact, have agreed to pool their economic and military might into one vast armed force, centrally directed to resist Soviet aggression. The plan, in reality a unification move, is American inspired It will "create a balanced collective winch means each of the foire, 12 nations will contribute specific units to ttie central western armed force and not try to maintain expensive over all military establishments, each self contained in all arms The move was seen by military men as the one means of giving the west a balanced defense force, wot king in harmony, and with maximum efficiency. The United States is expected to bear the greatest part of the cost, although each nation will share in proportion to its resources. The U. S. share is expected to cost more than a billion dollars this year. That the West is deadly serious and intends to have the plan in operation as soon as possible was evident by the creation of an over-al- l council of deputy foreign ministers, meeting all year round, to put the plan Into force. This council will have a permanent powerful chairman who, it is understood, will be an American. Some sources predicted the U. S. may require a larger air force and navy under the plan, since this country will be entirely responsible for atomic and other strategic bombing in case of enemy aggression. DEMOCRATS: Harmony Disturbed Surface harmony prevailing among Democrats at the Jefferson Jubilee celebration in Chicago was shattered by the controversial civil rights issue, which split the party design. "Intensified competitive pressure on management to reduce costs, partly by curtailing employment and by utilizing those employed more efficiently than earlier In the postwar period. In addition the board reports there is an increased "tendency for married women to work outand a similar side the home, trend among The Democrats were startled because of the unexpected source of the dissention. Most southerners who attended the Chicago meeting chose to ignore the civil rights panel. Jonathan Daniels, North Carolina national committeeman and former White house aide under both Presidents Roosevelt and Truman, did not so choose. He sat through the meeting, listening to 16 speakers demand enactment of the Truman program, and then insisted upon speaking at the conclusion. He told them flatly he could not go along with them in favor of a compulsory fair employment practice act, and added: You cannot have a prohibition law against diS' crimination in the south He asserted the propaganda for the creation of a fair employment a commission gives practice weapon to our enemies, the Dixie' crats" and makes it possible for them "to hide behind the civil rights issue while they fight every progressive measure. teen-ager- FARM INCOME: Likely to Dip The agriculture department predicts that the cash income of the nation's farmers will be well under totals. The department explained: receive for farmers "Prices their products have generally been below those of a year ago, while their costs have declined only slightly.

(2) It permits cutting or reducing the length of a story, to get it into a particular place m the paper, by eliminating from the bottom. As these bottom paragraphs contain less important details, their removal will not seriously reduce the information the story is conveying.

That question is one of the most frequently asked in every home town newspaper office in the country. Sometimes it is asked m considerable exasperation.

Observer are wondering If the Republican and Democratic parties both are going into the November election with split political fronts. The Republican trend came to light in the Oregan senatorial primary which was won by independent voting Sen. Wayne Morse. His campaign is not likely to resemble any other Republican drives this fall. In Pennsylvania, Governor James H. Duff defeated the old guard Republicans in the senatorial primary. In many quarters the Duff and Morse victories were seen as signs that many Republican voters think the party needs to offer more than mere opposition to President Truman's Fair Deal. On the Democratic front, a few more cracks have been added to s the split caused by the conflict started in 1948. Southerners are still battling the program, and recently, have generally opposed Trumans plans for more government spending. The Brannan plan has added fuel to the fire of discontent among some of the Presidents best western friends. With these points in mind, the September and October political speeches of both parties may prove the most interesting in years. 5. 37. Spinning toys 40. Thrash 42. Soothe 45.
