The Brannan plan is one, briefly, wherein prices on practically every farm commodity would be left to find their own level on the market with the government paying a subsidy to farmers in the form of the difference In price between what farm products brought on the open market and the established parity price. Opponents of the plan point out that while the consumer might appear to be saving money on cheaper market prices for farm products, he would. In reality, be saving nothing, Inasmuch as it would be his money that would be paying for the subsidy to the farmer. COMMANDER: Some Dispute Amid charges that he was the kingmakers, candidate of the under' the domination Af . and Vas the old line leadership, George4 N. old Indiana attorney Craig, was elected commander of the American Legion. He was the first World War II veteran to be chosen for the post. THE 3.344 delegates to the Legion's Philadelphia national convention gave Craig an overwhelming majority on the first vote. Craig's opponents took the rostrum at nominating time to label him the choice of those they claim always select the organizations national commander. ELECTION of officers climaxed convention sessions in which the Legion urged continuation of aid to China, adopted a resolution asking the U.S. to curtail "as far as possible" any further immigration at the present time. HIGHWAYS: Rough Wise Guy It was beginning to appea- rpieces of the ploture fell together that Uncle Sam had been played more or less for a sucker by a Russian wise guy who pretended to be won over to the American Ideology broadby the Voice of America casts, and who wanted to come to America and be a United States citizen. LAST October 9, two Russian air force lieutenants, Anatol Borzov and Peter Pirigov, landed in the U. S. zone of Austria in a stolen Russian bomber. They had had efenough of Russia, they aaid, in fect, and would like to become U.S. citizens. According to the Soviet Embassy, Borzov suffered a change of heart late in July and begged for prodigal son" treatment. Meanwhile, U.S. agents had discovered the "change and Borzov waa arrested by - U.S. agents and held secretly at Ellis island. Then he Russian Truman Plumps for Brannan Plan; Union of European Nations Urged; Publicity Asked in Dollar Parley r are many students of problems who are this procedure Is the only one which may eventually do away with war; but being realists, they concede that man has not progressed in selfless thinking to a degree where governments will agree to overall control of any kind or degree. THUS it appeared the idea broached at Strasbourg was doomed at its inception, but men of goodwill must keep trying, no matter how difficult the task, if world peace is ever to become more than an illusory goal. It has not been too difficult to get the best minds committed to a problem to see the way to its solution; the obstacle always has been that the individuals to whom the procedure must be entrusted fail in the scope and breadth of the wisdom necessary for solution. So, when the assembly meeting in France voted by an overwhelming show of hands for federal authority for the council of Europe, it was a manifestation of hope and desire, rather than any real accomplishment. THAT the delegates were on good, solid ground is indicated by this portion of the resolution for federal authority: 'The government should undertake systematic instruction of the great mass of the people, pointing out to them the undeniable advantages of union for Europe and at the same time the dangers inherent in national isolation. There world d tria and returned to Russian Jurisdiction. DURING the interim. Pirigov. who says he wants to stay in America, told newsmen that Borzov tried to bribe him with Soviet embassy funds to return to Russia. It was reported tha' Pirigov had been beaten by Sov.. t agents. The one essential element to the chain of events as to whether it proved Borzov a spy was missing. That was confirmation. The U. S. state department would neither confirm nor deny any of the stories being circulated. IT merely revealed that a U. S. note on Ihe Borzov affair had been delivered to the Soviet embassy. There is an old, old adage that it is "very easy to believe what one wants to believe." It may have been that sort of wishful thinking that led state department officials to smile benignly on Comrade Borzov's desire to "change" allegiance and become as one with Americans. 'FAIR DEAL': Author Irked President Truman continued In a fighting mood. He told newsmen he was going to keep Maj. Gen. Harry Vaughan as his military aide apparently despite anything the current 5 per center" probe might develop. Then, setting the theme of. the he 1950 congressional campaign, lashed out with a slashing attack at his recent pet aversion organ- ized selfish interests" which, he as- serts, are trying to block his fair deal program with a "scare-wor- d campaign. HE DECLINED to name the selfish interests, still campaigned against the 80th ("do nothing" he called it) congress. Evidently, Mr. Truman felt he knew a good thing when he saw it. If he could be elected to the presidency when few felt he had a chance by campaigning against the 80th congress, campaigning against it again ought to do good for his side in 1950 ballot tests. Getting away from the 80th for the moment, he talked about the 81st congress, declaring that the controlled legislators Democrat had made progress with his Fair Deal program in the teeth of "trumped-uslogans like stat-is"welfare state," collectivDOLLAR PARLEY: ism, and "socialism.

THE PROPOSAL for daily briefings was said to have support from Dean Acheson, U.S. secretary of state, but the attitude of John Snyder, treasury boss, was unknown when the proposal was first broached.

This huge highway repair bill, forecast by Senator OMahoney (D., Wyo.) was disclosed after a natiorm ide survey of road needs. THE PICTURE was not as dark as it seemed. OMahoney pointed out the condition will serve as a backlog which "will afford an unmeasured market for business and industry." He declared that everyone is aware of the depreciation of the American road system during and following the war, but added that few, I am sure, appreciate the tremendous backlog of essential work which has piled up. chairman of the congressional joint economic committee, the senator recently sent inquiries to governors and highway authorities in every state to determine their highway construction and repair needs.

But this does not mean that the only way to train yourself for any kind of work is in a school or college classroom.

RELIEF OVERSEAS FOR THE LAST THREE YEARS! KEEPING HEALTHY Helping the Aged Undergo Operation By Dr. JT James IS NOT LONG since a physician often decided not to allow an elderly patient to undergo operation unless it was a matter of life or death. Because there are now so many elderly men and women in the world and they are beginning to feel the effects of the aging process, physicians and surgeons are studying closely the problem of surgical operation in the elderly. In "Geriatrics, (disease of the elderly) Dr. J. Dewey Bisgard, University of Nebraska College of states that there is Medicine, greater need for team work between the surgeon, the internist (specialist in internal diseases), anesthetist, and other specialists, and that every detail in surgical management must be cautiously and carefully observed. These patients should be studied not by their age in years but by their age physically, as some are old at 50 and others are young at 70. One important consideration is the nourishment of the body; if the is undernourished, his weight should be increased. While patient W. Barton it is admitted that lean .men live longer than fat men, it is known that many elderly men and women do not eat as much as they really need to keep body strong, and to provide enough fat and other coverings to protect the nerves and serve as a food supply in an emergency. Dr. Bisgard points out that with the loss of fat there is a loss of sugar from the sugar or glycogen depots skin, liver and also loss of protein (muscle tissue). He suggests, therefore, that in preparing a patient for surgical operation an all round diet should be given and the proteins meat, eggs, fish should be increased. If not enough proteins can be eaten by the patient, then proteins in the form of amino acids can be in- jected into a vein. Another suggestion is that the elderly patient being prepored for operation should be given enough to maintain the proper liquids water balance but not enough to have too much water in the tissues. And during operation, no unnecessary bleeding should occur, as too much loss of blood might cause collapse. Women Organize to Slow US Divorce Rate Unhappy because they felt that in too many cases they rushed to the divorce courts too soon, a group of Chicago women have formed a group which they hope will have some effect in slowing down the accelerating U.S. divorce rate. They call their group "Divorcees Anonymous" and their major aim is to salvage other marriage which are beaded for divorce. right That organization la the Twentieth Century Fund, a foundation established in 1919 by the late merchant prince and philanthropist, Edward A. Filene. Its purpose is to carry on scientific research and public education on economic problems. And, amid all the reports of recessions, unemployment and declining trade, the fund hat sounded e note of optimism. In a a statistical study of American development, past, present and future, the agency lays that by 1960 the United States could be providing adequate food, housing, education and medical care for every living American. "We now have the highest standard of living ever attained by man." said the study. "The average American earns more money, eats better food, has a better house, better clothes, schools, theaters, more conveniences than the average citizen of any other country, anywhere, at any time." Dynamlo Country But that is nothing compared to what we can do. Right now we are just taking a little rest during the march along the road of progress, America is a dynamic country, always expanding, always going forward. Despite occasional setbacks, that is what the record shows as far back as comprehensive statistics are available. The whole secret of our constant advance is our ability to increase our productivity, our output per man-hou- r of work," says the fund. We have stepped this up from an average of 27c worth of goods and services turned out in an hours work in 1850 to $1.15 in 1940 and to an expected $1.61 or more in 1960. (See chart in adjoining columns.) We have done this mostly by substituting the machine for human sweat and animal power. By 1960 we shall be using 100 times as much of mechanical energy per man-hou- r work as we did in 1850. This increased output per hour worked is the only way to make possible higher wages to workers, lower prices to consumers, greater returns to managers and owners, and greater leisure for all of us. The report points to a crucial fact: "We have made our progress up to now because we have had an We are conexpanding system. stantly starting new businesses, turning out more goods, new products, we build new schools, hospitals, museums. We provide new services, more leisure. Can Keep It Up But can we keep it up? The fund says we can. And we can do this despite the rigors of inflation and deflation. Our system is strained by our tendency to go too far and too fast in boom, and to drop too swiftly and too deeply in bust, says the study. "But we are aware of the danger. We are making efforts to level out the ups and downs of our business activity. "For the long pull we can see that both boom and bust are passing phases in the steady record of our long term advance. make allowances Psychiatrists or mental patients who would get letter without shock treatment and io not put patients through shock f they can be cured by other nethods. Very few surgeons operate a with-m- t thorough examination by the physician assuring the surgeon that an operation is necessary. In the electric shock treatment for mental disorder, the patient has no memory of the shock, does not have to have injections into the veins, and is never conscious what is happening to him. One reason the dental profession is standing high is the amount of research work being done by dentists in nutrition. I Wl). YORK. 5 0 ProPer Insuk. HelPs Poultry A U Benefits Froafjj.

It is the relationships with other people that sap most of an individuals daily energy, explains Dr. Heiser. "Sleep is designed to rest the conscious mind, he says. "There is little rest if it is kept near the threshold of our consciousness by our awareness of another person. Complete solitude is necessary to relax from the contacts of the day, free from the need to attune oneself to the moods and needs of another. Only then can fatigue be eased so that one is refreshed and ready for the next day. Unfortunately, it is not always possible especially in the crowded living conditions and small homes of today to have a room of ones own. But, even if a room must be shared, each person should have a comfortable bed to himself. Absolute relaxation and perfect rest are never possible if a bed is shared. Although both may sleep, each person is still aware of the presence of the other and this awareness affects the restfulness of their sleep.
