That while Russia must sense the impotency of a blow at associated western states, with their command of the seas and the airlanes, the U. S. Army as it stands today is not an offensive force, and that America should be prepared.

"Ike" warned, that communists are on the march. U. S. military authorities in Korea said the formation of a republic in northern Korea was a violation of the decision providing that Russia and the U. S.

should work 'together to create an independent Korea. Russia previously had refused to permit a United Nations commission to enter the northern Korean zone under a General Assembly mandate to prepare elections in both zones. Russian moves in Greece and Korea fall short of supporting what were described in week-end dis- fatches as brightened hopes for a new understanding between the U. S. and Russia late this year.

Police Chief Clarence Ward is back again with a statement that traffic regulations are being ignored and that drivers are committing every violation in the book.

When asked what he considered the most prevalent offense, the officer answered' "Everything." When police would Sjft. in to action and the judge wmi-ld "throw the book" at offenders was not specified. The officer said that was intended for a surprise.

Admittedly the party of. Lincoln senses it may be hard to keep hungry pigs from going back to the chow trough they have gorged at during these many months. That, according to Republican field generals, Is what the Truman campaign plan of gratuities and more gratuities leads up to. And who will pay for all this wet- nursing party orators will ask. The answer has been given before the question was big cor- poratior.s, not the wage earner.

Note the Truman tax provision to reduce the income tux of every man $40 and pay for it with the sock-the-rich plan. That is butter bread for the ''commoner" and the communer is in the great majority. The joker is that the wage earner pays eventually in higher prices. The Republican hope, in the face of a party entrenched, is that the great majority o'f voters have been impressed, by dismal wasting of their money, that the time has come when America must conserve its wealth or hit the rocks. That since the Republican parly is accepted as the most conservative, the people will turn to it in.

With the monstrous Truman budget before thorn, the entangling foreign relations engulfing the nation normally isolationist politically and the rising threat of potential war, the pendulum may swine away'from the left far enough to turn the trick.

They damage and destroy timber, wildlife, and recreation areas. few woodland users realize how easy it is for a wildfire to become rampaging and destructive. To control fire we must, be careful with ALL fires. We must be extra careful with burning matches, in discarding cigarettes and other burning tobacco. Almost one half of our fires are started by smokers who leave behind them an apparently dead match or cigarette.

-What happens? That would-be dead match, or that snutfed-out cigarette falls on a bit of dead grass, or some dry leaves, and smolders. After the smoker is gone the wispy telltale thread of smoke begins to get thicker, and thicker. Each puff of wind fans into flame a fire that gets bigger, and bigger, and there you have it- wildfire which may damage and destroy in a few minutes that which Nature has been years in creating. Soon now, wildfires will be on the loose. You can help stop them by being more careful with fire.

Fire in any form is dangerous in the woods. If you are a smoker be sure that your match and tobacco are dead out when you leave them. Protect the woodlands, keep them green and productive. Most big- seed houses 'are cooperating with Church World Service 'and the U. S.

Department of Agriculture in helping U. S. citizens- send seed packages to Europe, whether they are related or unrelated to the recipiens. Bob Edwards, Murphysboro dealer, says retail dealers take names and send them to tKe seed houses, grouped under ASTA or American Seeds Trade's Association, which in turn forward them to Europe. Th'e idea is to help those areas of Europe where seeds are scarce, and enable the war-ravaged peoples to help themselves.

Queried several times by telephone callers about what makes city water "milky" at certain times, The Independent local superintendent F. D. Bohannon.
