For the United States had an-nounced that its atom bomb n had reached an e high in the first six months of tins Is now on an year, and production assembly-lin- e basis. IN making that announcement, the atomic energy commission also announced that enormous tonnages of low grade uranium ores, have been located In this country and could be used to produce in an emergency if foreign supplies of high-grad- e ore were cut off. All these disclosures were con-tained in the commission's sixth semi-annu- report to congress. Pointedly enough, the report made no mention of recent secret conferences relative to shar-ing information with Britain and Canada. It did have a lot to say, however, about the problems behind those conferences United States' de-pendence on high-grad- e uranium ores from Canada and the Belgian Congo. THE REPORT revealed that re-serves of d ores are being built up steadily "to assure continuity of production." Re-search is being pressed on new ex-traction methods to cut the cost of processing the low-grad- e ores which abound in this country. And "actions have been taken to im-prove and make more certain the supply of ore from abroad." This latter statement, which was not explained, presumably re-ferred to later negotiations with Britain and Canada for a long-ter-agreement on exchange of atomic information and division of uranium ore. FARM PLAN: Something New Farm plans, or substitutes there-for, were still kicking around the halls of congress, despite recent legislative action retaining the cur-rent program of farm price sub-sidies. Latest proposal in the field came from Senator Anderson (D., N.M.) but it was another formula which didn't appeal to everyone's taste. Senator Anderson is the same gentleman who was onetime U.S. secretary of agriculture. U. S. Attorney General Tom Clark, smiling so broadly here, hesitated but a short while be-fore accepting President Tru-man's offer of appointment to the United States supreme court bench. Sen. J. Howard McGrath (I)., R.I.) was to suc-ceed Clark as attorney general. PENSIONS: More for Vets Veterans of World Wars I and II and the Spanish-America- n war stood to benefit to the tune of an additional 112 million dollars a year if a bill passed by the nation-al house of representatives Is ap-proved by the senate. WITHOUT a single dissenting vote, the house passed a measure raising veterans' pensions and dis-ability payments by that figure annually. There was another possible hurdle for the measure, however, even if it should pass the senate, for house action on the bill was taken despite objections from the White House. Whether this means that President Truman would have the political fortitude to veto such a bill if it ever came to him is an interesting conjecture. The logical supposition is that he would not, particularly if he entertains any ideas of seeking a second term in 1952. To indicate the potential weight of the veterans' vote as interpreted by house members, despite the fact that there was no opposition, a roll call was ordered and 354 members got "on the record" as approving the measure. THE VETERANS' administra-tion estimated that the first year cost of the proposal would exceed BRIEFLY, his 112.5 millinn rlnllara Tt marla tin plan called for flexible government supports for some crops, rigid control plans for others, and authority to try out the Brannan plan for subsidy on some perishables. Anderson beads a seven-ma- n subcommittee casting about for an acceptable farm bill. Unless the senate and house managed to get together on some program, the delayed-actio- n Ait-ke- n law passed by the Republican 80th congress would take effect January 1. It would permit, al-though not compel, the secretary of agriculture to maintain supports for major crops on a flexible scale estimate of costs in subsequent years. Principal provisions of the bill: Increase from $138 to $150 rate of pay for total disability; increase monthly payments to widows and dependents of wartime casualties; full compensation for World War I veterans with disabilities pre-sumed to be service-connecte- d in-stead of the present 75 per cent; additional pay for dependents of veterans with service-connecte- d 50 per cent disabilities. At present such payments are made only if the disability is 60 per cent. ranging from 60 to 90 per cent cf parity. The senators "try-out- " proposal for the Brannan plan would be limited to "nonstorage perishables" including oranges, grapefruit, ap-ples and vegetables. ARMED UNITY: Up to Truman Final action on the bill strength-ening unification of the armed services was up to President Tr-umanbut there was no doubt that he would affix his signature to the measure in speedy fashion. BY a lopsided vote of 356 to 7, the house gave final congressional approval to the measure in a bid for greater efficiency and economy in military operations. The bill, which was sent to the President for his signature, sprung directly from the recommendations of the commission headed by for-mer President Herbert Hoover. THE citizens' committee for the Hoover report, headed by Dr. Robert L. Johnson, president of Temple university, immediately hailed adoption of the bill as "pav-ing the way for savings of at least a billion dollars a year, and maybe more." GIVE-AWAY- S: No Sinecure The business of winning radio give-awa- y prizes is not all A Hollywood insur-ance man is authority for the con-clusion. He spent his vacation as a con-testant on such shows and wound up with $150 in one week much more than he could have made working. He attended 20 radio shows, averaging four a day, say-ing that he couldn't stand any more than that. That's all he could stand, he said. "It's much more work than working," he explained. The questions are easy, but the nervous strain is terrific. It's too hard on me to do it more than one week each year. He made his killing, however, on one program. He was asked to tell a girl how her hus-ban- d would feel about her having a baby. He replied that "things are very convenient for fathers these days." For that he received prizes worth $150. How to get picked as a con-testant? Just sit on the aisle and wisecrack s the announcer goes by. ' FIRST LADY OF THE GARDEN HOSE . . . Oh, Can You See by the Lawn's Early Blight? . . . BATTLES FOR THE THIRSTY BLADES By H. I. PHILLIPS MISS PRIDGETT'S LAWN JN ANY PROLONGED dry spell there if in every community the man and woman who find an out-let for a full expression of their sense of sacrifice in all-o- solici-tude for the lawn. Here they make the ultimate effort, the grand fight, the supreme battle. Their heart bleeds for every blade of grass. They are shaken to the depths by the tiniest yellow patch. In eur neighborhood Miss Ara-bella Prldgett Is easily tops as the great lawn lover. In any moderately dry spell she can go to extremes, but In a real drought, when the reservoirs are low and the water supply critical, she Is a study in devo-tion to the cause of the ever-dam- p lawn. Then she becomes a first lady of the garden hose, a duchess of the sprinkler. The lawn Is her first thought at dawn and her last at night. Famous battlers for great human causes have shown less energy. Fighters to ease the plight of un-dernourished peoples have shown no greater energy. Yes, a water famine is threatened, families are urged to go easy, orphan asylums and hospitals have been cautioned to watch the outlets, but with Miss Pridgett her grass is "must," with top priority. Lincoln showed no greater concern for the slaves. Clara Barton was no more zealous for the sick and wounded. She was marked. Her mother was frightened by a bare patch in a green hall runner or something. She has a bare-patc- h complex. Were she with Noah In the flood, she would have come aboard the ark with two lengths of hose and two sprinklers. Her lawn is an astoundingly vivid green when everything else in hollyhock heights is sere and drab. You can see her busy about it morning, noon and night, every fiber of her being astir over the thought one little blade may be thirsty. She is haunted by a fear of dry patch. One hose is not enough. Miss Pridgett has two. And her second love is the sprinkler. She likes the wide, g type. When not watering the lawn she goes win-dow shopping for new automatic sprinkler models. A grand canal mood marks her premises. "It Ain't Gonna Rain No More" is her theme song. She shoots the waterworks not only on dry hot days but even when it rains. Her faith in Providence and the elements is shaky. Let it rain all night and she is out there with the hose in the morning. Miss Pridgett's slogan is "The HOSE must go on!" Yoo hoo, move the larger sprink-ler over a foot, ladyl There's a blade there that seems undrencnea. HiUer's yacht Ain't so hacht; So whachtl In a visit to the Grille, once the yacht of der fuehrer, we are sure we should Imagine that great nautical figure, that wonderful ex-ponent of all fine sea traditions, rolling and pitching in a terrific storm and bellowing "All is lost!

Tom Weatherly The American association of uni-versity professors upholds the right of all teachers to be communists provided they keep it out of the classrooms. This is like saying it is all right to carry lighted match-es in a hay loft provided only good will is shown toward the barn. We liked Bill Vaughan's crack in his K.C. Star column: "The woman scorned is now surpassed in fury by the babe who never even met the guy, but shoots him anyway." The active head of a yacht club is called a commodore. A commodore is a cross between a humidor and a matador. He has to be kept damp like a humidor and like a matador. Being a commodore entitles you to wear a motorman's coat, white duck pants and a cap. There's good news in the eco-nomic picture. A slight slump is reported in the slight slump. CLASSIFIP This Ncmtf show.d over S2 low . with an averan.'rV ri wL Experience i.

"We'd better take the old road through the woods," he said. "It will shorten the Journey by five miles." Sheila thought this would be a good idea. They left the main high-way and cut through the woods. But neither anticipated that the storm would reach such propor-tions. Two miles from the highway they got stuck. Ray didn't mince matters. He confronted the situation squarely. The chances were even that both would perish. At any rate, he had something he wanted to ask Sheila in case he didn't get a chance later on. He asked it. Sheila thought of many things, among them what a ninny she'd been. Ray was the man she loved, the only man she could ever love. With death staring her In the face she realized this to be a fact. She put her arms around Ray's neck and told him exactly how she felt. An hour later Sheila dropped off into a doze. When she awoke she was lying on a couch before a blaz-ing fire. Ray was feeding her hot soup. No one could have believed Ray Sharon capable of stratagem. He was too definitely catalogued. Which is why not even Sheila sus-pected that he had planned it all; that he knew about the camp, had stocked it with firewood and pro-visions, had stalled his car on pur-pose, had removed most of the fuel. It had required a courage which he had never suspected he pos-sessed to cash in on his assets. NO ONE would have believed Ray Sharon capable of strata-gem. One look at him and you would have catalogued him in the reserved, conservative class of young men who adhered to the ac-cepted patterns I I dictated by pro- - priety and 3aMinut6 vention. He was , 1 a good looking boy with soft brown eyes and a sensitive mouth. He worked as a clerk in the South-po- rt Trust Company. There was a future there for him. It occurred not even to Ray that the fine reputation he had could be used as an asset, cashed in on. Not, that is, until Phil Clairmont came to town. Clairmont had been born In Southport. At 18 he had gone off to college and not returned. He had been a football hero, an quarterback. After graduation he had sold bonds and coached football teams and written maga-zine articles on gridiron tactics and given a series of lectures over the radio. He had made quite a success. Two winters later Thil re-turned to his home town for the Christmas holidays. The folks gave him quite a reception. They held parties for him and asked him to talk at this function and that. He stayed through New Year's, which was longer than he intended. The reason that he stayed was Sheila Fa rns worth, who taught the seventh grade. Sheila was a native of Southport. She had wheat-colore- d hair and blue eyes. She had known Ray Sharon all her life. She liked him. When they grew up and Ray be-gan taking her around, she was quite happy. pHIL CLAIRMONT met her at one of the many parties that were held in his honor. He remem-bered who she was and was quite surprised that she had grown up and blossomed into something that was easy to look at. Sheila was, after all, only a nor-mal girl. Phil Clairmont was famous. When Phil took an interest in her she was flattered. It gave her a recognition that most any girl would have delighted in. No one blamed her. No one condemned her for it If anyone felt about it at all it was a sensation of envy. A few wondered about Ray Sharon. A smaller few felt sorry for him. Occasionally she saw Ray and thus it happened that one wintry night Ray and Sheila set out in the former's coupe for the distant town of Merkdale to attend a banker's hall there. It began to snow before BY INEZ GERHARD SOMETHING NEW will be added It or Leave It" on Sept. 11 when Eddie Cantor takes over as quizmaster of the oldest of the Jackpot quiz shows. Cantor has spelled Phil Baker on the show twice, in 1945, now steps in per-manently. He has been quite a pioneer In radio when he came into It studio audiences were kept EDDIE CANTOR behind a glass screen, seen but not heard. Cantor, used to theatre crowds, brought them into the open, then developed the show, to get the crowd into the right mood before the show went on the air. Format of "Take It or Leave It" remains the same, with those $64 questions. Bill Goodwin, playing a movie producer in Warners' "It's a Great Feeling," lies and lies nd lies in an oversized double bed, in a pullman berth, in a lawn swing and on a chaise lounge. He's supposed to be ex-hausted from being harassed by Dennis Morgan's and Jack Car-son's efforts to try to make an actress out of Doris Day, cast as a studio waitress. "Where Men Are Men" marks Chester Conklin's 310th picture in nearly 37 years; he'd have made more if he hadn't retired for eight Then he came back strong. You will see him in the hilarious "My Friend Irma" soon. Publicity tie-up- s are queer things. Shirley May France, miss who aims to swim the Eng-lish channel, will do it as an amphibious press agent tor Edward Small's historical opus, "Black Magic." A country-wid- e personal appearance tour is scheduled after she comes home, plus some radio appearances, then she'll be groomed for a scresn career. 1 CHDSSWDHB PUZZLE 1 ACROSS 1.
