One hundred years ago the Young Men's Christian Association, known familiarly to four generations of Americans as "the Y", was founded in the U.S. to fight vice, degrada-tion and delinquency in the cities. Since then, its aims have broadened. Today, the Y teaches Christian ethics, through good fellowship, to the entire community. With 3,500,-00- 0 members, the Y has been suc-cessful in the cities. Now, in plan-ning its next century, the YMCA is going to move into small towns and rural areas. Always a organiza-tion, the Y is taking into account the somewhat humiliating fact that in this new campaign they are join-ing the tail-en- d of the parade. The clubs, the Epworth League, the Camp Fire Girls, the Future Farm-ers of America, the Girl Scouts, the Roman Catholic Rural Life Confer-ence and even the youth program of the Mormon church are far ahead of the YMCA in respect to rural area activity. Even their arch-rival- the Young Women's Christian Assoc., is better organized outside of the cities than the Y. Some advisers at last year's Y conferences argued that other or-ganizations held such a decisive edge in the farm country that com-petition would be a waste of time. The social service program of the Y, however, is without parallel, of-fering as it does everything from recreation in the swimming pool or on the basketball court to a course in auto mechanics or professional advice in marital or parent-chil- d relations. No organization which at-tempts to do similar work in any of its fields of activity is as well organized nationally or internation-ally or has such tremendous re-sources in manpower, equipment and experience. In rural areas, however, the Y has a lot to learn. Fifty-fou- r cent per of the YMCA's established in cities under 25,000 have died of inertia and disinterest in the last fifty years. For its failures in the past the Y freely blames itself. The organizations have failed to leam what people in small towns are like, what services they need and want and how they are best reached, Y officials recently declared. In the cities, the Y has been par-ticularly successful in handling restless, idle youngsters from all social and economic classes who, anxious for something to do, can just as easily be attracted by a stimulating hobby or a vigorous, healthy sport as by a pool hall or a low-cla- movie. The same need for legitimate outlets for aggressive energy does not exist in rural sur-roundings, Y researchers have dis-covered. Nor are they interested in the same skills or educational trends. On the other hand, people in non-urba-n areas are likely to be anxious about health problems, and the Y will turn its attention to promoting good health in the country. THE LACK OF PROPERLY trained teachers, the movement for consolidation of schools, the decline of the rural church, the absence of recreational programs for both chil-dren and grown-up- s will be its other major concerns. It will attempt to introduce a new awareness of the importance of mental health and study, in conjunction with trained scientists, the emotional stresses and strains peculiar to country liv-ing. The program sounds overly am-bitious to those not acquainted with the Y's last century of progress, but the organization has proved its right to plan on a grandiose scale. Its influence on American life in the past century is almost without par-allel. Basketball, now called the coun-try's most popular sport, was in-vented by a YMCA physical educa-tion instructor who was looking for something to replace the dreary calisthenics of his day. A few years later another in-structor introduced volleyball. 'The Y was the first to establish summer camps and to encourage the now multi-millio- n dollar summer camp-ing movement. They gave the Boy Scouts their start-of- f push. A quarter-cen-tury ago the Y first recognized the psychological dangers in the decline of father and son relation-ships and devised the Indian Guide program to bring fathers and sons back together. They were the first to declare a holiday to honor the nation's fathers, and they have taught millions of young Americans how to swim. $100 Word 7 'Is the doctor treating k nervousness?" s net for "Oh, dear, no.

Wilkinson Nelson was a man of OBADIAH qualities. For two years he had worked as clerk in the scenario department of Magnificent Films, Inc., and had thought up ideas f for pictures ie which scenario Fiction writers wrote , I scripts and directors prod-uced for a neat profit. "Lady Luck," Magnificent's most recent success, had netted the house some-thing over a million dollars. Noel Norbert, who wrote the script re-ceived $2000, and Obadiah, who thought up the idea, collected his $60 per week. Ada Adams, who occupied a desk next to Obadiah's and who earned $50 a week reading stories, knew what was going on and told Obadiah in no uncertain terms what she thought of him. "Barnum was right," she said. "How a man can be such a sucker and still live is beyond me." Obadiah blushed to the roots of his hair. "Why, shocks, I didn't do any-thing. It was just an idea I had that I mentioned to Mr. Nor-bert." And Mr. Norbert collected $2000 for it." A month later Magnificent began work on "Love's Appeal." Noel Norbert had turned in the script after taking Obadiah to lunch. A week after that Ada Adams came into the little restaurant on Sunset boulevard where Obadiah was eat-ing lunch. "Well, how's Magnificent's $60 a week sucker today?" she asked. "They tell me Mr. Norbert has turned in another e success "Well, how's Magnificent's $60 a week sucker today?" Ada asked Obadiah. that you thought up for him. He's asking $2500 for it." Obadiah's face went white. With-out knowing it Miss Adams had aggravated a wound that she had inflicted five weeks previous with her first scathing comment on Mr. Nelson's lack of what it takes to get ahead. She was, therefore, aston-ished when Obadiah suddenly rose without a word and left her. Outside, his cheeks still rather pale, Obadiah was hastening toward the Magnificent studios. "Mr. Maurice," began Obadiah firmly, "I want to know why it is that you pay $2000 to Noel Norbert for writing scenarios that I think up. No, don't answer. I know why. It's because you think I'm a sucker without enough backbone to stand up for my rights. Well, let me tell you something. I mean, you can drive a horse to water but you can't make him willing I mean, drink. Or something. Anyway, I'm quit-ting. The Pacific studios have of-fered me a thousand a week to work for them." Obadiah paused, breathing heav-ily, and mopped his brow. "Well," he said, "I guess that's all." "Is that so?" said Mr. Maurice. "Well, young man, you're wrong. That ain't half of it." And he punched a bell button on his desk. 7JDA ADAMS was eating dinner in the same little restaurant on Sunset that evening when Obadiah came in. "Well," he said, "I've been raised from $60 a week to $1000." "So I heard," said Ada, "Con-gratulations. I'll bet you could have got more, however, if you'd gone back to Pacific and told them that Maurice was' meeting their price." "I couldn't," said Obadiah, "because Pacific never offered anything In the first place." Ada stared in open-mout- h won-der. "Well, well, well," she said. "And likewise, well." "Even if they had," said Obadiah, "I couldn't have thought up ideas for Pacific anyhow." "Why?" asked Ada. "Because you wouldn't have been there," said Obadiah. "All those ideas I thought up were about you and me. Just seeing .you put them into my head. Without you I couldn't think of anything. In fact," he added, "sometimes I can't think of anything with you." Ada swallowed a scallop whole. "For goodness sake!" she ex-claimed. "Obadiah Nelson, I didn't think you had it in you to propose marriage." "Propose?" said Obadiah. "Who's proposing? But it's not a bad idea at that." SCANNING THE WEEK'S NEWS of Main Street and the World Cattlemen Withhold Beef in Protest Of Government's Rollback Program EMPTY MEAT CASES Empty meat cases were beginning to show up across the nation as cattlemen continued to hold beef off the market in protest to the government's price rollback program of cents a pound by October 1. The shortage was being felt only in larger cities, but the home town housewife can expect to feel the pinch if marketing does not increase within a short time. President Truman and Price Stabilizer Michael V. DiSalle continued to stick by their rollback decisions. DiSalle told reporters retreat now might wreck the whole stabilization program. President Truman called it a "good program" and said he thought beef pro- - " " Tj ' ducers c.o u 1 d be brought i -- l I - around.

Cattlemen scribed the meat situation in the nation are gambling that price con-la- st week. trols wiu be lilted at the end of this month. The present situation is somewhat similar to the 1946 beef battle when cattlemen withheld beef in their successful attempt to kill the government's price control program. It was argued at the time that if price controls were lifted there would be an increase in production and a decrease in price. There was an increase of production, but asv today's prices testify there was no decrease in price. FAR EAST SPECULATION The unexpected and unannounced visit of George C. Marshall, secretary of defense, to Korea raised considerable amount of speculation in the home towns of the nation. Was his visit the first step toward a cease fire in Korea? Was some new military de-velopment about to be revealed? Repeatedly, Marshall told reporters he did not expect any Chinese peace move soon and that his visit was strictly military. He remained silent after a series of guarded meetings with Gen. Matthew B. Ridgway, U. N. supreme commander in the far east. Of this much the home towner can be reasonably sure. Aging and not too well Marshall did not make the long and tiresome trip to Korea as a mailman's holiday, so to speak. If the home towner is speculating, . the Kremlin and Pieping must be down right worried. MACARTHUR INVESTIGATION The Armed services and foreign relations committees' investigation of the dismissal of Gen. Douglas MacArthur moved on its weary way with two new witnesses. For eight days Secretary of State Dean Acheson testified. The committees then called Lt. Gen. Albert C. Wedemeyer. Acheson's testimony was remarkable in that during the eight days there was no show of temper on the part of the witness or the investi-gators. In the minds of many, Acheson's thorough coverage of all ques-tions asked was an attempt to justify the administration and the first move toward his withdrawal as secretary of state. Only on one point was his testimony different from that of other administration witnesses. He asserted that MacArthur approved the 1946 attempt to bring the Chinese Reds and Nationalists together for a "unified, democratic China." MacArthur immediately issued a state-ment that he was the victim of a "fantastic" lie. The other witness, Gen. Wedemeyer, backed and even went beyond the Korean War proposals of Gen. MacArthur, but said President Truman had the right to fire his old commander. Briefly, Wedemeyer would withdraw American troops from Korea, break off relations with Russia, go into full mobilization, and "go to the real perpetrator of all this." These would be drastic moves and a definite risk of war. WHEAT CROP MAKES COMEBACK The agriculture department reported the nation's wheat crop is making a comeback from bad weather conditions and now promises the eighth successive harvest of more than a billion bushels. The June forecast is about 72 million bushels more than forecast a month ago. The new forecast indicated a wheat crop of 1,054,000,000 bushels, about 25 million bushels more than last year's crop. Such a production would be only about 96 million bushels short of the government's production goal. Unfavorable weather, particularly drought in the southwest great plains, and insects in the same area, coupled with cool, wet spring weather, had put the crop prospects under a cloud a month ago. Con ditions improved greatly in May to bring the overall prospects up to normal by June 1. THE SLOW ADVANCE United Nations troops in Korea smashed the Communist "Iron Triangle" and continued their slow advance north-ward. The Reds have put up stiff resistance in the last two weeks and suffered an estimated 40,000 casualties in defense of the triangle. The Communist were retreating slowly and orderly. There were indications' in some areas of enemy buildup, possibly in preparation for renewed attacks. There was nothing in the over-al- l picture that indicated a clear cut victory for United Nation troops. L - . lvi,.:V!r : .J United Nations troops continued their slow, steady advance in Korea, inflicting thousands of casualties on Chinese Reds in the "Iron Triangle." INFLATION BATTLE June 30, expiration date of the present de-fense production act, is only a few days away and there are several indications that the administration is afraid new control laws won't be strong enough. President Truman appeared worried and made three moves to get a strengthened law through congress. He issued a public warning that the nation may see "an unmanageable torrent of inflation" unless eco-nomic controls are extended, he called in congressional leaders for a through conference, and he made a direct appeal to the people in a nationwide radio talk. Economic Stabilizer Eric Johnston, on radio and television shows, has tried to arouse the people to the ' dangers of inflation. Neither President Truman or Johnson have been very successful in their efforts. By INEZ GERHARD ALAN LADD is looking forward to day next year wtten his con-tract with Paramount ends. He ex-pects to sign a contract for ten pic-tures to be made for Warner Broth-ers, but as if that were not enough to keep him leaping from saddle to fist-fig- day and night, he is start-ing a company of his own. Alan Ladd Enterprises will produce radio , i ? ' , A ; ' 1 '' ' 1 (X- T- - ? - 1 V 1 ! " - ! j ji ' ' ALAN LADD shows and television programs, and will also film "Shadow Riders of the Yellowstone". This novel by Les Savage made such an impression on Ladd that he bought the screen rights himself without even asking his studio to get the story for him. Laurence Olivier and Vivien Leigh, triumphant stars of the current festival in Great Brit-ain, are doing something never before attempted by an acting team. On alternate nights they play Antony and Cleopatra as written by Shakespeare and by George Bernard Shaw. Shaw's heroine is a young girl, Shakes-peare's a mature and wily siren, Ronald Colman and Benita have signed up for another year in "The Halls of Ivy", an encouraging sign to all radio producers who believe that there is a large and growing audience for adult entertainment on the air. GRASSROOTS Honest Harold Ickes 'Stole' Tide Lands Oil Wells By Wright A. Patterson WHEN I WAS A BOY in county, Iowa, Long's Creek was one of the waterways of that county. It was not navigable even for a light canoe. It was just a creek, with water in spots in the summer,, and those spots provided breeding places for bull heads and swimming pools for the boys of the neighborhood. Because of the swimming holes, the boys claimed Long's Creek as their rightful property. Had the federal government of those days attempted to do what the federal government is doing today, it would have meant an insurrection on the part of those Washington county boys, that would have taken a corps of marines to suppress. The counties of southern Cal-ifornia have creeks similar to those In every county of every state. These California creeks serve the specially useful pur-pose of irrigation for the hun-dreds of foothill farms, without which they would not produce, and would be valueless. Those creeks have been the source of irrigation for those foothill farms, back to the Spanish mis-sion days. Now, without warning of any kind, the federal government noti-fies the farmers that they can no longer use the water of those creeks, as they are federal' govern-ment property, and the rights to the water they carry belong to the federal government. Those water rights have been recognized as be longing to the farms they irrigate for more than 100 years. That is seizure of property by the government, without adequate compensation to the owner, and it is specifically forbidden by the fifth amendment to the Constitu-tion, but the federal' government has refused to recognize the rights to compensation by the citizens. What has happened in these California counties, could hap-pen in Washington county, Iowa, or in any other county in any state, if California permits the central government to get away with such a steal. It will be tried in other states, and the citizen will soon have no rights the government at Wash-ington will recognize. That bold move on the part of the attorney 'general's office is more than the little community of Wallbrook in southern California. Should it get away with that steal, there is no limit to what it can take. In the days when F. D. R. and the New Deal was operating with the regularity of weU greased clock work, honest Harold Ickes, then secretary of the interior, was a recognized source of New Deal ideas. One that bobbed up in his always fertile brain was for the government to take over the tide lands oil and so gather in the roy-alties the operators were paying to the states for each barrel of oil they recovered from the ocean depths, and to secure which they had invested large, very large, sums in the drilling and operation of those tideland wells. The terms Honest Harold of-fered were far from satisfactory to the operators, and they re-fused. But they stopped pump-ing and drilling. The states lost the royalties they had been re-ceiving, and to supplement their diminishing revenues had to levy other taxes on their al-ready over burdened people; the nation lost the supply the tide lands fields had provided. And all because Honest Har-old had a bad dream. He would provide more revenue with which to meet New Deal spend-ing- s, and put one over on the wealthy oil operators. Like some other of his ideas, that one did not work out as be had planned it. Without that tide land oil we cannot meet the national defense requirements and keep 52 per cent more automobiles on the roads. Should the service station refuse to sell you all the gas you might wish, it will be safe to lay the blame at the door of Honest Har-old's New Deal dreams. Appropriation for Fair Deal Point 4 projects is one of the unnecessary expenditures Congress can well af-ford to forget under our present circumstances. With Fair Deal tutors to guide us, we are rapidly becoming a benighted nation, in need of our own philanthropy. DAY OF DECISION Local Boards Must Pass on Students There is going to be a buzz of ac-tion around home town draft boards within a short time. Local boards will start to receive any time now results of recent college tests to determine which college students shall have their military service deferred. On the results of these tests local boards 3,853 of them must make their decisions. Board members must determine whether Joe College, who wants to complete his education before don-ning a uniform, shall be classified II-- (student deferment) or (eligible for induction). In making this determination, they may take into account his score on the aptitude test, his scholastic standing in his college class, and his locally-know- n capabilities and possible capacity for leadership. |
