Yet, last July 29, the Defense Department said it was buying 3,055,000 pounds more, this time for the Army and Air Force. None of the Navy stock seemed to be available. Last spring when the Hoover Commission issued its report Food and Clothing in the Government, it said that the Navy had 886,020 pounds of canned hamburger on hand in 1954. This was being consumed at the rate of 1,233 pounds per month.

At this rate it would last 719 months. The Navy's supply and account manual states that the estimated life of canned meats is 24 months, and a lot of this hamburger therefore was over-age. According to the report, "97,643 pounds were bought in 1950, pounds in 1951, 289,658 pounds in 1952 and 277,081 pounds in 1953." Some of this was said to be in mobilization reserve stock and some in operational stock. First, the Navy denied it had this much, but later admitted that this figure was correct at the time of the compilation (Aug. 31, 1954) but that since then it had been reduced to 687,000 pounds.

Obviously, the rate of consumption must have gone way up between August of last year and May of this year when the Navy made this statement. The new order is said to be mainly for the Army, but some is intended as an emergency stockpile for the Air Force. None of it is being drawn from Navy supplies, for the Navy now says it doesn't have any canned hamburger to spare and is thinking of buying some more for itself. Maybe someone else can figure this one out. (Washington Report) i- nightly bath with juice for a bleach and stay out of the sun.

They have been good guests. We hope they feel we have been good hosts. Perhaps they weren't exactly guests, they certainly have paid their own way. U-I has spent a lot of money in this community and most business houses can see by their bank balances that they are good spenders. And they, we mean Jeff Chandler, Dorothy Malone and everyone connected with the company, have been lavish in their praise of the hospitality shown them during their visit.

Now would be a good time for every one of us to appoint himself a committee of one, sort of ex-officio members of the Chamber of Commerce, to invite U-I to come again. Many of us have come in contact personally with members of the cast or crew. When you see these people this week and if you have enjoyed them, tell them so and invite them back. They seem to be quite human and will probably appreciate the invitation. And we hope they accept.

Heliport For Portland Urged By Port Chief PORTLAND (U.R) Port of Portland manager John Winn yesterday urged a study by the port commission on the feasibility The system was developed by tho long lines department of the American Telephone and Tele This story is typical of a number brought back by Theodore S. Rcpplier, president of the Advertising Council, after a trip around the world to study USIA operations.

Rcpplier was given an Eisenhower Exchange Fellowship to study the effectiveness of American information programs in combating Communist propaganda and infiltration aboard. Visiting 13 countries, he made special studies in four Japan, India, France and Italy. In southern Italy, Repplier picked up the case of a small family which was having a run of bad illness. The local Communist party at once sent around a young girl who volunteered her services free of charge as maid of all work. The family was most grateful.

SOON THE GIRL began to leave the Italian Communist newspaper, Unita, around the house. This provoked many political discussions. When the girl left the family a couple of weeks later, they were all converts to communism. In another town the trail of a Communist dentist was picked up. The local party leaders' sent him many poor peasants whom he treated for a few lire.

His waiting room was full of Communist literature. And as the dentist filled teeth, he also filled his patients with propaganda, drilling it in good. In still another Italian town, just before an election, a surveying party showed up. Without saying anything, they began to run lines around the countryside. When the villagers finally asked what this was all about, they wcro told that if the Communists won the election, all the land would be divided up and given to the peasants.

ONE OF THE worst Communist lies which USIA people have had to combat this past summer was first planted in the trouble zones of the Middle East. It was a story that at the United Nations tenth anniversary celebration in San Francisco last June, "a high functionary of the State Department" had tried to "buy off" the leader of one of the Arab delegations for ten million dollars. In return for this sum, the Arab was supposed to see that his country would align itself with U. S. foreign policy in the Middle East.

But according to the Commie story, the proud and patriotic Arab refused to be bribed. This particular story has also been picked up in places as far away from the Middle East as Belgium and Brazil. It defeated its purpose because it was too big a lie to believe. Ten million dollars is 10 per cent of the USIA annual budget, and one investment of that size was obviously impossible. But the more subtle propaganda dies hard.

McCANN United Press Staff Correspondent It is certainly a sign of new, strange times when a king pays a state visit to a Communist President. I That happened last week when King Paul I of Greece went to Belgrade to be the guest of President Tito of Yugoslavia. Tall, handsome Paul descends from a long line of monarchs. Tito, compact and dynamic, was for a years a professional revolutionist.

He was trained in Russia. Further, only a few years ago Tito was actively supporting the Greek guerrillas who made a determined attempt to overthrow King Paul. But Paul- and Tito are realists. Their countries are now linked in the Grcck-Yugoslavia-Turkish Balkan Alliance. They got along very well together, the King and the Communist.

Relations between Greece and Yugoslavia were further improved. The wives got along well together "also Queen Frederika and Mrs. Tito. The Queen, pretty, chestnut-haired, descends like her husband from centuries of royalty. Mrs.

Tito, tall and handsome, fought as one of Tito's "partisans" against the Germans in World War II. At the time of her marriage in 1952 she was Maj. Jovanko Budisavljcvic of the Yugoslav regular army. During their stay in Belgrade, King Paul and Queen Frederika stayed at the "Old in Belgrade, once the home of Yugoslav monarchs. Tito himself uses the "White" palace.

That one was occupied by King Peter, whom Tito ousted from the throne. Tito first crashed the barrier between Communism and royalty in 1953. That was when he visited London at the invitation of Winston Churchill, then prime minister of Britain, and was received by Queen Elizabeth II. But then Tito was the guest of the British government, not the Queen. Paul and Frederika were the personal guests of Marshal and Mrs.

Tito. Tito, long at odds with the Kremlin, is now linked with both West and East. The Yugoslav-Greek-Turkish Alliance, at the time it was concluded, was aimed against Russian aggression. Now. relations between Tito and the Kremlin have been patched up though not very firmly since the recent visit to Belgrade of Russia's Premier Nikolai A.

Bulganin and Communist party boss Nikita S. Khrushchev. Tito is to visit Moscow soon. But Tito also maintains his ties with the West. Just before King Paul and Queen Frederika arrived in Belgrade, he asked the United States Tor $40, 500 worth of additional aid.
