FOREIGN POLICY: Alliance Bid Coming in the midst of Allied protests pro-tests to Russia over failure to withdraw with-draw its troops from Iran and expensive ex-pensive looting in Manchuria, former for-mer Prime Minister Winston Churchill's bid to the U. S. for an all-embracing military alliance with Britain pointed up the question of the course to be followed in preserving pre-serving world peace. While declaring that a combination combina-tion of the U. S. and the British commonwealth would present a powerful, unified front against the "growing challenge and peril to Christian civilization" of communism, commu-nism, Churchill said that continuance continu-ance of Anglo-American wartime military co-operation would lead to a common welding of arms and greater assurance of security. Despite Churchill's ringing plea made before the faculty and student body of Westminster college in Fulton, Ful-ton, Mo., in President Truman's presence, U. S. senatorial reaction to the proposal remained cool. Concensus Con-census of the solons' opinion was that instead of the U. S. tieing its If to another country in a military alliance, al-liance, continued effort should be made to develop international cooperation co-operation through UNO. It was also said that by pursuing an independent independ-ent foreign policy, we might better bring pressure to bear on all nations na-tions for correct relations. Churchill spoke even as the U S. Joined Britain in protesting against Russia's failure to withdraw from little, oil-rich Iran in accordance with a tri-partite agreement drawn up between the three countries in 1942. As the Reds stalled on pulling pull-ing their troops out of the northeast north-east section of the nation, it was reported that Moscow was bargaining bargain-ing for oil concessions, tied up by the U. S. and Britain. Meanwhile, the U. S. formally objected ob-jected to the Russian looting of Japanese Jap-anese Industrial facilities in Manchuria Man-churia and Red proposals that China join with them in operation of strategic stra-tegic resources in the province. Concerning Con-cerning the looting, the U. S. was said to have agreed with China that all Nipponese installations could not be considered booty, while opposition opposi-tion to joint Russian-Sino operation of certain industries was based upon fears of closing trade opportunities oppor-tunities to other nations. AGRICULTURE: Feed Program Aiming to move short feed supplies sup-plies into market and at the same time cut down on the heavy fattening fatten-ing of meat animals, the government govern-ment established a three-point program, pro-gram, including: 1. Increase in the wheat ceiling by 3 cents a bushel; corn, 3 cents a bushel; barley, 4 cents a bushel; oats, 2 cents a bushel; and grain sorghums, 9 cents a hundred pounds. In addition. ciling prices on rye will be increased by 4 cents a bushel when the grain is put under regulation regu-lation on June 1 2. Maintenance of hog ceilings at present prices up to September 1, 1946, with consideration then to be given toward lowering the top for heavier weight butcher hogs after that date. However action may be take to cut the subsidy on heavier hogs before September 1 3. The 50 cents a hundred pound subsidy paid cattle men to encourage encour-age feeding of certain types of animals ani-mals will end on June 30. SURPLUS: Overseas Disposal One hundred million dollars of army surplus already has been disposed dis-posed of in Europe and the quantity is expected to increase substantially substantial-ly pending completion of credit negotiations between the U. S. and Russia, Czechoslovakia, Poland, Finland and France. Because of the need for extensive exten-sive shipments of varied items to support allied war operations against the Germans, V-E day found Though the government has disposed of almost 400 million dollars of surplus goods in the U. S., the army still has over 1H billion dollars worth in storage. stor-age. Brig. Gen Theodore M.Osborne M.Os-borne revealed. Among items being be-ing carried are 671,999 hand towels, tow-els, 438,839 one-pound packages of powdered laundry soap, 248,-513 248,-513 whisk brooms, 263,799 screwdrivers, screw-drivers, 7,723 alarm clocks and fl.328 rubber boots. the U. S. with tremendous stocks of materials on hand. Originally costing cost-ing over two and one-quarter billion bil-lion dollars, the surpluses are concentrated con-centrated in nine disposal centers in France and Belgium, where 146,000 workers consisting mostly of German Ger-man prisoners are maintaining the stocks. Of the total of 100 million dollars sold, the major share has gone to the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Re-habilitation administration, which has taken 70 million dollars worth of transportation equipment, f.os-pital f.os-pital and medical supplies, clothing cloth-ing and construction material. France and Italy have received substantial sub-stantial supplies along with Belgium, Bel-gium, with a reverse lend-lease credit cred-it of 45 million dollars. CANADA: Bare Red Intrigue Frightened when ordered to return re-turn to Russia, a soviet code clerk attached to the Reds' embassy in Ottawa sought the protection of Canadian police and then divulged an espionage plot worthy of the most theatrical thriller. Revealed in the fanadian government's gov-ernment's official announcement of the Russian spy ring operating in the dominion, the code clerk's story disclosed that Moscow had instructed instruct-ed its military attache at Ottawa to obtain samples of atomic material, materi-al, descriptions for manufacturing the A-bomb, information on U. S., British and Canadian armament developments, de-velopments, and disposition of U. S. and Canadian troops. With the code clerk talking freely, the Canadian government was able to develop its case against dominion domin-ion citizens working with the Soviet agents. Held for betraying official secrets were Edward Mazerall, 29, an electrical engineer and radar expert; ex-pert; Mrs. Emma Woikin, 25, code clerk in the department of external affairs; Kathlyn Mary Wilsher, 41. deputy registrar in the office of high commissioner, and Capt. Gordon Lunan, 30, of the information board. Central figure in the Russian espionage es-pionage ring was Col. Nicolai Zabc-tin, Zabc-tin, military attache of the Soviet embassy in Ottawa, since recalled to Moscow. Using the undercover name of Grant, Zabotin directed the activities of the network of spies, including Col. Peter S. Motinov, now assistant military attache at Washington, Wash-ington, D. C U. S. Speeds Up Jap Repatriation in East To speed-up evacuation of nearly 3,400.000 Japanese from China, Manchuria and Formosa, the army is making available approximately 100 Liberty ships and the navy over 100 surplus LSTs for operation with Japanese crews under strict American control. It is estimated that ther are about 3.000.000 Japanese in China. Manchuria and Formosa remaining to be repatriated. Of this total about 1. 700.000 are troops and approximately l.fiOO.OOO Japanese civilians Already ntarly 239.000 Japanese troops and 128,000 civilians have been moved under 'he prugram o clear them from liUraled areas MEAT: Boost Set Aside Acting to provide meat supplies for shipment abroad, the government govern-ment increased the amounts of pork, beef, veal and mutton federally federal-ly inspected packers are required to set aside and extended the order to 37 states. Eleven southeastern states are exempted from the provisions pro-visions because they do not produce sufficient meat to fill their own needs. Under the new regulations, the packers must reserve 13 per cent of their pork output; 30 per cent of the commercial grade of steers, heifers and cows, 40 per cent of the utility grade and 50 per cent of canner and cutter grades; 40 per cent of the utility grade of veal, and 20 per cent of choice, good, commercial com-mercial and utility grades of mutton. mut-ton. The third set-aside boost In less than a month, the latest government order Is Independent of reservations for the army amounting to 30 per cent on choice and good grades of beef in effect for all of the states. LABOR: Kill Case Bill Pushed through the house by a 258 to 155 vote, the Case bill restricting re-stricting union practices received short shrift in the senate, where a committee quietly killed the measure and set to work on the creation cre-ation of new legislation to promote industrial peace. As passed by the house, the Case bill called for cooling-off periods before strikes, government mediation medi-ation of disputes, prohibition of union un-ion boycotts against producers and liability of both labor and management manage-ment for violation of contracts. None of the senate committee members mem-bers considering the bill favored it and some attacked it as unduly penalizing pen-alizing labor. In writing a new labor bill, senate sen-ate leaders are expected to strengthen voluntary procedures for settling disputes. While some sort of fact-finding machinery, may be set up to assist in the clarification of issues, it would not possess the wide - sweeping authority to examine ex-amine company books as requested, request-ed, by President Truman. SPAIN: Press Franco Though the Franco government took precautionary measures against internal uprisings, the allied world awaited the Spanish people's .reaction .re-action to the U. S., British and French plea that they overthrow the pint-sized generalissimo and establish a representative interim regime. In joining in the tri-partite blast at the Franco regime, the U. S. state department released captured documents revealing Franco's axis ftf ' v -,1 V v i f ' - Gen. Franco Allied target. sympathies. At the same time, however, the papers disclosed that Franco had cleverly paid lip service serv-ice to the Fascist cause, promising to enter the war and seal off Gibral-ter Gibral-ter in return for substantial supplies sup-plies of arms, food and fuel which Germany did not see fit to furnish. Though backed against a wall by the allied declaration. Franco curtly told the U. S. and Britam that Spain could conduct its own internal affairs and any outside inference with self-rule would arouse the resentment of the proud Spanish people. BRITAIN: Armed Force Declaring that unsettled world conditions do not permit the taking of any risks. Prime Minister Attlee told commons that Britain would maintain an armed force of more than one million men for at least a year. According to recent estimates, esti-mates, cost of the military establishment estab-lishment through the 1946-47 fiscal year would total almost five billion dollars. While stating that atomic developments develop-ments made planning of long-range defense policy difficult, Attlee envisaged en-visaged an eventual British army of 650,000, a navy of 175,000 and an air force of 275,000 Despite the maintenance of an army of one million men, four out of five under arms on V-E Day will be demobilized by the end of this year, Attlee said. Continued peacetime conscription will afford necessary replacements to prevent depletion of the forces. PUBLIC WORKS: The outlook for municipal public works construction in 1946 is unsettled, unset-tled, according to a report of the American Public Works association. associa-tion. The shortage of supplies, and skilled labor added to the termination termina-tion of priority procedures hav sent the costs of public works construction con-struction to a new high.

By BAUKIIAGE Newt Analyst and Commentator. f 1 Pffl WNU Service, 1616 Eye Street, N. W. Washington, D. .C. In these day when there is fo much talk about co-operatives, I would like to take this opportunity to say something about co-operative eponsorship of radio. It is a different differ-ent kind of co-op, of course, but it has done a lot for broadcasting. It simply means that instead of having hav-ing one big company sponsor a program over a whole network, a local concern In each town "hires" us. That is why I say the name of my boss is legion. There are many advantages in this plan from a purely material standpoint But to me, the greatest, from the broadcaster's point of view Is the fact that co-op sponsorship provides a tremendous psychological psychologi-cal tonic. It gives me what I call an e-pluribus-unum boost, because I have a feeling that a lot of people peo-ple have elected me to my job instead of one man hiring me. I feel that I have become a citizen In a sort of new-found economic democracy. Now from the listener's standpoint: stand-point: When a program is sponsored locally, the townsfolk are bound to look on it with a lot more intimacy. We are all proud of the fact that radio has brought the world right Into the listener's home. We can be equally proud of the fact that the co-operative sponsorship system has brought thousands of American communities into the broadcaster's heart and mind. The co-operative sponsorship system exemplifies the good, democratic principles of decentralization. de-centralization. I think it's a great invention. . Chosen by Station WNAX, Yankton, Yank-ton, S. D., as "typical mid-west farmers." Mr. and Mrs. John Oeser won a trip to Washington, a new tractor and money for a new wardrobe. ward-robe. Immediately after being received re-ceived by the President, they were interviewed on our program. They, were chosen by WNAX because, be-cause, while running up a remarkable remark-able production record on their farm In Westside, Iowa, they also played a leading part in the war activities of the community. Mr. Oeser is 58 years old and is still cultivating the land his father pioneered. He and Mrs. Oeser have eight children the one of military age is a marine two daughters are , -"H - - U v 1 il"' liMiiBMaMnwMirimriiTl'ilfflgmamiminmw --wr-lftttftl ' Baukhage (center) Interviews the Oesers in Washington, D. C. The people of X-ville, listening to me as they have for the last three years, feel, I am sure, that they know me better because they know my sponsor, Joe Doe a lot of them personally, a lot more because they have almost daily personal contact with the clerks in his big department depart-ment store. And that goes for the flour mill, the bank, the bakery, the dairy, the hotel, the electric power company, the finance company, the flour and feed store, and what have you (and what haven't you In the co-op dish?). Like writing for a weekly newspaper, news-paper, there is a hometown intimacy about this arrangement This intimacy, inti-macy, vicarious though it may be, goes a long way toward breaking down the barrier of invisibility between be-tween the unseen broadcaster and his audience. Highly important too, is the total goodwill engendered by the co-operative sponsorship system. It means a lot to the sponsor to have the listener lis-tener realize that a hometown supported institution is paying for the program he listens to. Before I accept a sponsor I have to know something about him. When we get together I have a chance to learn a lot more about him and he about me. Thus, my 130 bosses have helped me, in a sense, to re-discover America, and it doesn't do a bit of harm to those of us who spend so much time on Pennsylvania avenue to have a daily reminder of Main street which is the real America. . So much for direct benefits to station sta-tion - sponsor - listener broadcaster. But there is something which is even more Important to radio as a whole. I believe the co-op system will go a long way toward dissolving dissolv-ing an unfounded suspicion held by so;ne of the general public: namely name-ly that a commentator reflects his sponsor's opinions. Personally, I have never known such a case, but the myth Is widespread. Well, it is obvious that even 30 sponsors couldn't agree to disagree with their commentator on any one thing and when the number passes the hundred mark, a neutralizing effect results which produces a cross-section view that could reflect only an average of American tolerances. graduate nurses. Since the eldest boy joined the marines, Mr. Oeser has been doing all the work on his 160-acre farm with the help of his wife and the 10 and 14-year-olds. They have a lot of livestock and raise enough grain on their farm to feed the cattle. Mr. and Mrs. Oeser were widely entertained while in Washington and enjoyed every minute of it. However, How-ever, Mrs. Oeser was shocked at the prices of food and didn't "see how a family the size of hers could possibly afford to live in a city. While congress recently rewrote the tax law to fit peacetime government govern-ment expenditures and the people's earnings they had in their possession posses-sion the suggestion for a new type of tax program. I say "new type" because it is sponsored by small businesses employing approximately approximate-ly 6,500,000 workers. The sponsors are convinced that their comprehensive program will do a number of worthy things in addition ad-dition to speeding reconversion and giving tax relief to individuals and business. They say it will also provide pro-vide a favorable tax climate for small business, encourage venture capital, provide high employment at well-paid jobs, stimulate consumption, consump-tion, increase the national income, balance the budget at high employment employ-ment levels, reduce federal expenditures expen-ditures and retire the national debt. Aside from immediate reductions for individuals and corporations, the long-range program calls for the following: fol-lowing: For the Individual, an initial ini-tial tax of 16 per cent and reduction of surtaxes, the rates on long-term capital gains, estate and gift taxes Existing exemptions and credits would be retained, deductions of capital losses would be allowed on the same basis as capital gains are taxed, double taxation of dividends divi-dends would be alleviated. The state chambers of commerce would continue con-tinue the principle of the withholding withhold-ing tax while at the same time trying try-ing to improve it In the long term picture for business, busi-ness, the group would have corporation corpora-tion taxes reduced and the continuation continu-ation of a favorable tax climate for small business.
