Television helped draw both the naRepublican and Democratic tional political conventions to the city of Philadelphia.

It stretches from Washington up into New England and west to Schenectady. Philadelphias advantage, said Clipp, is its central location which allows it to draw upon the pool of skilled television personnel located in the East and makes it easily accessible for hard-to-gequipment. He estimated that financing the job will require $175,000 for both V In addition te the regular station coverage, television receivers and large screens will be placed in the basement of Convention hall and in adjoining Commercial museum. In this way, all the party members who cannot find room in Convention hall, plus about 25,000 spectators a day, can be accommodated close to the actual scene of activity. According to Clipp, coaxial cable and established relay links will tie together at least 14 stations in the East.

At the same time, with laudable objectivity, the editors expressed their belief that Gov. Thomas E. Dewey of New York would be the one to receive the GOP bid. President Truman, as virtually the only conceivable Democratic candidate, was chosen by the editors for that party's nomination. They also conceded overwhelmingly that the Democratic delegation would give him the nod at the national convention next year. Publishers Auxiliary distributed 500 ballots to country weekly editors in 48 states and tabulated the II. I. PHILLIPS delegate as going perhaps farther than is necessary at this time.

Mf the fact that price supports many farm commodities DESPITE December 31, 1948, there apparently is no inclination on the part of congress, or even in the farm organizations here, to hurry any e farm program. Although the house agricultural committee has held extensive hearings here and elsewhere throughout the country which developed almost aa many Ideas on the farm program as there were hearings, there appears to be no strong demand for action for several months to come. The concensus seems to be that with farm prices high, supplies short and demand strong, the thing to do is to let things slide for a while and let nature take its course. It may be that shortly before election time things may start poppin. 2 ATOMS AND AGRICULTURE In most, if not all cases, the Thomas activities had proof that the witnesses actually were members of the Communist party at the time of their testimony.

Some h Is just cute or amusing our quaint American way that this Is so, but a glance at other places In the world shows that It is terrible folly. Those who believe the party should be allowed to exist remark with Jovial condescension for our fears, "We are big and strong enough to keep our political health and ignore such a little infection." That is like arguing that it is a good thing to pick up a few germs in our bodies. The bugs are small and few, but that was so in Russia in 1917.

Researchers at Oregon State college in Corvallis currently are conducting experiments which they believe may add millions of dollars worth of produce to the naUon's yield in agricultural products. Key to that expanded production is the radioactive isotope, a of nuclear fission, which Is being used in experiments that reach Into every field of natural science.
