Logic in Contradictions The official Soviet estimate of the Paris bnference and the Marshall plan, as pub- ished by the Tass news agency, is a good xamDle of the "surface contradictions in Russia's foreign policy and political phil- sophy. Russia wanted no co-ordinated economic tannine by European countries in connec tion with American aid. Russia argued kgainst "interference." Each country, in the Soviet view, should total up its own needs knd apply for American aid a plea for a liandout rather than a plan for recovery. .n iover-all program would have upset valgus va-lgus recovery plans already under way, ac- tofding to Moscow. Just how the sick coun tries of Europe could recover in economic (lation Russia does not explain. Hut that is viously what she wants. Russia also wanted to divide recovery on a krtor-and-vanquisKed basis. The principal tafirtime Allies, should be taken, care of first. JtHen the lesser Allies, and finally, at some tiidetermined date, Germany. Europe's economic eco-nomic problems do not seem to be parceled m quite that neatly. ILikewise the Soviet government hints in ti statement that;American aid might mean American domination. Thus Russia again presented herself to tie world not only as ultra-suspicious, but juRra-nationalistic and isolationists, the kime attitude that has marked Russia's kvfiole approach to the United Nations. Yet the Russian government is the Rus- kin Communist party. The latter is the hecleus of the world Communist Party. It didlv Droclaims itself the Dartv of the Ivprld's workers. Its aim is global commun- a imuugii vunu levoiuuoii. ruining na- nalistic or isolationistic about that. The Russian government preaches a gos- 1 of untouchable sovereignty and non-in- fcirference by outsiders in a country's internal in-ternal affairs. But while it is preaching, it iidulges in the inconsistent practice of im posing a " communistic form of government pi its unwilling neighbors. wJCet all this may be added up to a logical tftfal. The basic Soviet intention seems to fo to build up Russia for the present. It has shallowed up enough of its neighbors for mmediate nourishment. It has German slave apor and German skilled labor and German fod. It has stripped German factories, i So Russia's immediate, recovery needs may l taken care of. If the European countries t'imain divided and grow weaker as Russia ows stronger, that will probably be all rht with the Soviet government. They will Jb ready for one-by-one picking, . as were Jugoslavia, then Poland, then Hungary, !en Bulgaria. But the Marshall plan threatens an inter-ption. inter-ption. It is not a plan to stop communism if a crisis, like the Truman Doctrine, but a plan to stop chaos . arising from economic Hlsruption. It is a move against Russia. I 1 Bicycles On Downtown idewalks I I Concern is usually felt for the safety of a Jkld on a bicycle, and rightly so, but a situa- i ton is developing in downtown Provo where Ills getting to be the other way around. JEbys darting on bicycles down the sidewalks busy downtown streets are actually en-ingering en-ingering the pedestrian and putting the cycle in the position of a traffic hazard. Proyo has a law against riding bicycles on 1 e sidewalks. In the residential sections. bilice do not enforce it too strictly, .which is laiwise move. Children on bicvcles in resi- htial sections, where speeds are greater aid traffic is not so closely controlled, are Much safer on the sidewalks in many in stances and no one begrudges them this promotion. pro-motion. I However, crowded downtown sidewalks are other matter. Heee is a place where the (Icycles become the dangerous factor and Mjmeone, particularly a walking child, can isily be seriously hurt by a speeding two- vfieeled vehicle. Observers have' reported the situation is kitting progressively worse in downtown Provo. If the police were to haul a few ffenders before the juvenile court and fine ;nem a small sum, it should do much to dis- 4urage the practice. True, the police do not live sufficient men to set them watching jfcyclists and neglecting other things, but tlshouldn t be too much trouble to nab two f three offenders and serve warning on the Ait. Another thing now existing as a result of e downtown bicycle situation is more of annoyance than a hazard, but it could come the latter under the riirht rircnm- fances. This is the haphazard sprawling of jicycles left on the sidewalks, particularly in -jflont of the theaters. At times, "most of the iilewalk is taken up at certain points by a angled pile of wheels. 'Hey, C'mon! Finish That Corral! Time's Awastin'!' The Washington Mrry - Co - Round By Drew Pearson Weatherman May Have Effect On Marshall's Foreign Policy WASHINGTON The weatherman may have some effect upon Secretary of State Marshall's foreign policy. For the past five years bumper American crops have permitted us to dominate the world food situation and thereby Somewhat influence its politics. But now, bad weather at home plus good weather in Russia may partly reverse this situation. Although the American wheat crop will be a record-breaker, other American grain crops are down. Unofficial studies of the world wheat situation situa-tion made by the agriculture department indicate that Russia's wheat crop also will be greater than ever. In fact, Russia, for the first time since before the war, should be. able not only to end bread rationing at home but export about 300,000,000 bushels of wheat abroad. The Russians Rus-sians also are expected to bring in a rye crop of some 840,000,000 bushels, which should give them a surplus of about 100,000.000 bushels with which to play power politics. While this may somewhat affect the Marshall plan for aiding European countries wmcn cooperate cooper-ate with the western European bloc, actually manufactured goods, particularly steel, still remain re-main almost as important as food. SPEAKER MARTIN AND FDR Cagey Speaker Joe Martin used to fight the late President Roosevelt on a lot of things. But chatting with a friend the other day he. remarked that it was a lot different visiting the White House when occupied by FDR. "He was a great guy." reminisced Martin. "He had a way of talking about things that I never forget. He used to say to me. 'Joe, how are those Douglas firs up on the cape? "I didn't know anything about any Douglas firs on the cape, and he knew I didn't. It was just his way of putting me in a hole."

O'BRIEN, M.D. Written for NEA Service Women are superior to men in their ability to stand heat and cold. The temperature of a woman's wom-an's skin is higher than that of a man's and she sweats less. In cold weather the extra pad of fat under 4he skin helps her to conserve con-serve body heat. In both men and women 93 per cent of body heat is lost through transfer (conduction, radiation, ra-diation, convection) and by evaporation evap-oration of water from the lungs and skin to surrounding atmosphere. atmos-phere. Other channels include raising the inspired air to body temperature and warming the excreta ex-creta and other body wastes Every 24 hours the body must lose a; much heat as it generates or fever will result. , In hot weather high temperature of air, moisture in the atmosphere, character and amount of clothing, and the amount of heat manufactured manufac-tured by the body, interferes with heat loss. Sweating cools the bod through evaporation, but it also robs the body of salt and water. Contrary to popular "belief, sweat is mainly a dilute solution of salt and water rather than impurities and water.

Story behind this is that plumbing fixture manufacturers have produced enough lavatories and bathtubs to equip more than a million new housing units in the United States during the current year. They had every reason to expect that these new homes would be built in 1947 but now they won't be. The lifting of price controls by congress has so crippled the housing program that the plumb-inir plumb-inir fixture industry is saddled with a huge backlog of bathtubs' and lavatories for which there is no home market. So the commerce .department, to rescue the bathtub manufacturers, decided to lei them sell, to foreign customers.

"union" LABOR S DEBT Every man who works for an employer is in reality working for himself. Never forget that. Some men make the mistake of ing that working for their own interest and their company's interest are two different things. They never are and never can be. When you attempt to divide your energies, applying part of them to your employer's interest and part of what you think are your own, you are trying to apply material for only one' roof over two separate houses, and eventually, event-ually, your house will suffer as ;much as your employers.

Omar Bradley has ordered the hospital built, and a congressional committee originally approved it. But Congressman Congress-man Cox has said no. Cox is sore because General Bradley has closed down another hospital in Cox's congressional congres-sional district at Thomasville, Ga. The Georgia hospital, composed of a group of temporary wooden wood-en buildings built by the army, was ruled out by General Bradley as a firetrap. Also, the plumbing was not sufficient to meet the sanitary requirements require-ments of a hospital. Finally, General Bradley informed congress con-gress that the cost of upkeep on this makeshift make-shift Georgia hospital for six years would ' equal the cost of buildinr a modern hospital 49 miles away in Tallahassee, Fla. However, plans for the new Florida hospital were scarcely completed when Cox, with the aid of his close croijy on the rules committee. Congressman Con-gressman Howard Smith of Virginia, slipped an amendment into the independent offices appropriations appropri-ations bill, to stop construction at Tallahassee. . The amendment inserted by Congressman Smith was a neat log-rolling provision which also awarded a veterans hospital site to Smith's own congressional district in Virginia. Congressman Cox has been bombarding the White House and the veterans administration, demanding de-manding that the wooden hospital in his district be reopened. Meanwhile maimed and sick veterans vet-erans in. that area are out of luck, all because of the peevishness of one congressman. Note Cox has been drumming up votes for his hospital from Republicans by telling them that the Tallahassee project was a "political gift" President Roosevelt had promised Senator Claude Pepper. Tallahassee is Pepper's hometown, but he denies ever talking to FDR about the hospital. ! ; BATHTtBS-FOR EUROPE Q How many postoffices arej If you jfcish to work for your how to pay formal calls how tolnerc ,n lne unllea atates: rown uesi lnieresi, ou win wore writ Wtor uihpn to wear aravi A According to the Post Office ! hard a,ld loyally for your firm cloves, when not to wpar Vm department there are 41.751. or employer regardless of your . . , . . .

A study of Individuals born without sweat glands showed that a fairly large amount of evaporation could occur oc-cur in this way. Heat loss from the body is aided aid-ed by air currents playing over the skin surface. Recent reports showed that heat stroke could occur oc-cur at fairly low temperatures (70 degrees Fahrenheit) if the air was humid and air cunents could not reach body surface. So health authorities recommended wearing jus as few , clothes as possible during extremely hot weather. Water. Salt Needed Drinking large quantities of water will replace the fluid which was lost, but salt is also needed. Even though women have more efficient heat regulating systems than men, they also take advantage advan-tage of ways and means which help them to be more comfortable in hot weather: light-weight, non-constricting non-constricting clothing, for instance. QUESTION: Do you think "a person is mentally ill who is so unreasonable with his wife that when her life was at stake he persisted in causing her trouble? ANSWER: Patients with mental men-tal illness can develop personality changes in which those who previously pre-viously were easy to get along with become difficult.

The government has been bucking one factor which some civil aeronautics officials contend to be a root cause of recent air crashes namely, pilots' pay. Last year, during the TWA strike, the public got the impression that pilots receive fantastic salaries between $15,000 and $20,000 a year. How ever, the only pilots who earn such pay are those who fly the oceans. In the USA pilots earn a base pay of from $185 to $300 a month wmcn tney get whether they fly or not. The real money comes from the number of hours theyspend in the air. Therefore, if a pilot is to make a high salary he has to spend a maximum number of hours in the air. Sometimes this leads to taking chances. Airlines have contended they might not get as much work out of pilots if they paid "a guaranteed guaran-teed annual wage, but, on the other hand, some civil aeronautics officialselieve that there would not be as many crashes if pay scales were changed. Truth is that airline pilots get grueling training train-ing before they qualify, have to maintain sharp physical standards, earn every cent they make. 6:43; 7:00Family Th.-ater 7:30 Dragnet 7:45! 8:00 Fulton Lewi Jr. 8:I5iThre.
