Show U. S. Awaits Russian Game at Foreign Ministers' Parley By BAUKHAGE News Analytt and Commentator. WN'U Service, 1616 Eye Street, N.W., Washington, I). C. UNITED NATIONS, N. Y. 01 course this dateline Isn't official. But, since the brand new station sta-tion wliere I got off had a nice "United Nations" i g n on it in f briffht Pennsyl- f vania red and gold, I cun call it that. The United Nations is really meeting In two different places: The assembly, where I happen to be at this writing, writ-ing, at Flushing, N. Y., and the Baukbafe headquarters of the security council, coun-cil, miles away at Lake Success. The broadcasting booth in which I sit looks right down on the first row of delegates, the United Kingdom King-dom under my chin, United States next, then Uruguay, then Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. Senator Austin, the white-haired and dignified digni-fied head of our delegation, sits on the end seat. Foreign Minister Mo-lotov, Mo-lotov, who has deputy delegate VI-hinsky VI-hinsky on his right, the translator, transla-tor, then Ambassador Gromyko on his left, sits about in the middle of his crowd. The two groups represent clashing clash-ing ideologies, conflicting ideas. But neither wears a steel helmet or carries car-ries tommy .gun. They are In peaceful conflict to avoid conflict.

Chaos, if not time, fought on her side. As the negotiations continued, however, slowly out of the mists along the Volga another shape became be-came visible. It was the materialization materiali-zation of one phase of the divide and conquer principle. In this case it was the open bid for German sympathy sym-pathy which Russia hoped would turn the Germans In the American, British and French lones away from those countries and toward Russia. Although It was Russia itself it-self which prevented the economic unification of Germany (plus Communistic Com-munistic influences In Franca and French feara) it was Russia which suddenly offered the grandiose plan of a unified Germany with a hint at a rectification of the eastern fron tier at the expense of Poland. This sensational suggestion burst over Europe and the conference like a thunderbolt, but thanks to the quick - action of Byrnes it proved a boom erahg. Byrnes knew what to shoot at and he shot The Wallace Incident which for 24 hours threatened to cut Byrnes' support from under him fortu nately had Just the opposite effect Byrnes insisted on repudiation of Wallace by the President and got it Then Byrnes took the stump, showed that American policy would give Germany everything that the Russian plan would give her and made it clear that the question of the eastern frontier might well be opened with the United States sympathetic sym-pathetic toward a revision ol the boundary to the advantage of Ger many.

The question now remains as to what line of approach the Russians have decided upon, If any. In the meeting of the assembly assem-bly they tried to continue their obstructionist tactics. The real test will come In the foreign for-eign ministers' conclave at New York. There is a considerable element In the United States, by no means entirely composed of convinced Communists or their more hesitant fellow-travelers, which believes with former Secretary of Commerce Wallace that the United States can pursue some middle-of-the-road policy pol-icy and that East and West can thus move together without friction. There is no question, however, that the task that Secretary Byrnes has set out for himself admits of no appeasement ap-peasement Draw Line on Soviet Expansion There have been a long series of books by 'experts and others, telling Just what is wrong with our foreign policy and what might have been done or might be done to Improve It. William Ballltt tried In a book (already mentioned in these columns) col-umns) to show that Russia's dreams of empire are nothing new, that the; Soviets are merely taking up where the Czars left off. More recently Louis . Fischer has come along with his 'Great Challenge." Edgar Ansel Mowrer, reviewing this book in the Saturday Review of Literature, says that "if Henry Wallace Wal-lace had read and understood this book, he would not . . . "push a completely unrealistic policy of appeasement ap-peasement of Soviet Russia." Mowrer Mow-rer probably would be the last person per-son to claim that he was prejudiced in favor of the Soviet rule but he Js certainly familiar with his subject sub-ject and his comment is worth consideration. con-sideration. At for Fischer, he laughi at the idea put forth by the Russo-phlles Russo-phlles that all we have to do is to assure Russia of her security, remove re-move her suspicions and fears of democracy, and then she will march shoulder to shoulder with the rest of us. Fischer says Russia's be havior is explained not by fear of attack but by certainty that she will not be attacked. This belief seems to be back of the American action here today. It is to be hoped that during the negotiations at Lake Sue cess, Russia's more specific objectives objec-tives will be revealed as they were in Paris. Fischer claims that "Russia Is not afraid and not suspicious sus-picious for two clear reasons: The British empire la in decline and on the defensive; America rushed from victory to headlong psychological and military demobilization." If that is true then It must be made very clear to the Soviets that regardless re-gardless of what we may think about the decline of the British empire em-pire and America's sharp reaction against military activity, there is nevertheless a line beyond which Russian expansion will not be allowed al-lowed to go. It is to be hoped that line already has been reached. The necessity, however, is to make it very clear to both the American public and the Russian government that this point has been reached. Since it is admitted that Russia can not and does not want to fight, it is not a question of war. It is expected that the pin-prick Ing policy by Yugoslavia will con. tlnue. At this writing further ef forts to obtain control of the Dardanelles Dar-danelles are limited to name-call ing in the Russian press. It must also be remembered that when the United States put its foot down and Russia saw that it would not pay to go farther, Tito could go into re verse. by Baukhage The one-time leader of the Silver-shirts Silver-shirts went from jail to a hospital Probably to remove some alien matter mat-ter In his head.

Crop production for 1946 is time peak, 2 per cent above the record output of 1942, best previous year, and 28 per cent above the average for the prewar years of 1935-39, a summary compiled by department de-partment of agriculture discloses. Wheat and The story of the farmer's 1FARM RECORDS are being broken throughout the nation as farmers wind up the biggest year In agriculture's history. This scene of a farmer storing corn in tem porary cribs Is being repeated throughout the grain producing areas as farmers gather in the greatest feed crop ever grown in this country. 2 FOOD NEEDS exceeded even heavy wartime demands and farmers met the challenge with the largest harvested wheat acreage since 1938940,000 acres over 1945. The combination of improved wheat varieties, good growing weather and national yield of 17.8 bushels per acre resulted in whopping 1,169,422,- 000 bushel crop. Production of all food grains set a new record more than 37 million tons. During the harvest season, farm ers worked night and day, frequently fre-quently with multiple crews and machines, as shown here, to save the precious grain. The new crop helped to relieve the bread short age which resulted at mid-year when the nation shared its slender wheat stocks with hungry people overseas. Exports of wheat in this calendar year may reach 160 million mil-lion bushels, highest since 1921. 3 READY FOR THE FUTURE. With the help of this big year, farmers are in better position to face condiUons ahead. Good feed crops will help to maintain livestock production pro-duction at high levels and savings of nearly 20 billion dollars provide a reserve for poor years or farm improvement. im-provement. This West Virginia farm, with its crops set in easy-to-work contoured strips, offers a pattern for the future. fu-ture. With his farm's soil enriched by lime and green manure, and slopes protected from costly erosion, ero-sion, the operator has the assurance of maximum efficiency and minimum mini-mum production costs.

Dr. H. Herman Young of the Mayo clinic, Rochester. Minn., told delegates dele-gates to the farm safety section of the National Safety council's 34th national safety congress in Chicago. Life on farms is full of peril. Dr. Young asserted, pointing to a nine-year nine-year survey of farm accidents, made under joint auspices of Mayo clinic and the safety council, which Wyoming Homesteads Open to Veterans WASHINGTON.

Two-thirds of all U. S. farms are actively participating in 1.675 soil conservation districts. 4 GOOD WEATHER favored the farmer in his fight for big crops. An early spring sent crops off to a flying start Ideal conditions, illustrated illus-trated in this summer scene on a New England farm, often helped the farmer at critical times, such as haying and grain harvest. Little wheat was lost because of wet weather during harvest or after, aft-er, but sudden ripening of grain over large areas produced more grain at one time than elevators or railroads rail-roads could handle. Drouth did strike some areas, notably New Mexico Mex-ico and Arizona, and prolonged sain interfered with planting of grain sorghums. sor-ghums. The weather wasn't perfect, per-fect, but it was generally better than 1945 and proved a big factor in a record crop. 5 BIG BUYERS. Record produc- tion and good prices have created cre-ated the greatest farm purchasing power of all time. From total cash receipts of more than 23 billion dollars this year, farmers will realize real-ize a net income of more than 14V4 billion dollars, or mpre than three times the net income of 1940. Like city folks, farmers find goods scarce and prices above prewar levels. lev-els. As he shops for new shoes, this farmer finds proof that the average price of farm work shoes rose from $2.53 for the 1935-39 period to $4.49 on June 15. Prices received by farmers for their goods had doubled dou-bled meanwhile. 6 MORE HELP, provided by re- turning veterans and war plant workers, made the job easier for the farmer, but everyone had to work hard, early and late, to handle the bumper output. Typical of the veteran's return to the land, this ex-army sergeant and ( his wife, former army nurse, bought disclosed that 38,700 farmers were killed at work during the period. About 133,200 farm residents were killed accidentally and 100,125.000 non-fatal farm home and work accidents ac-cidents also occurred in that time, he reported.

Other crops have come through in good measure, with exception of cotton, rye, broomcorn, dry beans and pecans. Livestock production continued high, despite de-spite critical feed shortages in mid-year. Taking agricultural production as a whole, 1946 may stand for a long time as the farmer's farm-er's biggest year, the agriculture department concludes. an Alabama farm with the help of an FSA loan. By mid-year 1,045,000 veterans were working on farms, representing about three-fourths ol the number of farm workers who entered military service before July 1. 1945. 7 TWO ON ONE means good corn and accounts for this North Carolina grower's pride in a promising prom-ising crop resulting from use oi hybrid seed corn and contoured field. In the nation as a whole, two out of every three acres this year were in high-yielding hybrids, accounting for 20 per cent increase In corn yields by department of agriculture ag-riculture estimates. In some sections of the corn belt, hybrids were planted on 100 per cent of the acreage, boosting Iowa's corn yield to a phenomenal 61 bushels bush-els per acre. Better varieties of oth-er oth-er crops, developed by agricultural scientists, helped push production to new records. Improved fertilizers and new cultural methods also boosted yields. 8 NEW TOOLS also helped to swell 1946 production. Expansion Expan-sion by REA co-operatives brought electricity to additional thousands of farms and made daily chores like milking (above) faster and easier. On July 1, nearly 53 per cent of all U. S. farms received central station electric service and new customers were being connected to REA lines at the rate of 250,000 per year. Farmers also found DDT and chemical chem-ical weed killers potent weapons against old enemies. Production of new farm machinery machin-ery during the first half of the year fell below the war-limited production pro-duction of a year earlier, forcing most farmers to get along with old machines. Tires, fuel and seed were In fair supply, but containers, steel products and lumber continued contin-ued scarce. Farmers used more fertilizer in their drive for maximum maxi-mum production.

In making a complete check you'll come upon these facts 1. Davis and Blanchard are brilliant bril-liant ball carriers, through the line or out In the open. Both are extremely ex-tremely fast. 2. Both can throw a pass and both can handle a pass. 3. Both are excellent blockera. 4. Both know how to tackle and are strong defensively. 5. Both are dangerous opponents against a rival pass. 6.

By VIRGINIA YALE THIS is a burst of loud applause ap-plause for Eric Seva-reid's Seva-reid's autobiography, "Not So Wild a Dream." It's the story of a boy from a small town in South Dakota who has never lost his love for that small town, through the years when he's become one of our best political and war reporters. Many of us will never forget some of his broadcasts over CBS during the war, and still look forward to his Saturday night talks. Sevareid covered the war in France, England, Eng-land, China, Italy, Germany and Burma. But this is not primarily a war book; it is the Inspiring story of 34 years of a man's life, superbly written, a story of the world in our times.
