Ctaardoriflc tnctx uiinoli 2 April 4, 1953 Newsmen to Broadcast Impressions of Russia MOSCOW (UP)-- The 10 American newspaper and radio editors now visiting Russia will broadcast their impressioni! over a three-day period starting today. The editors will broadcast over Moscow Radio and their program will be relayed by the American Broadcasting System. (An ABC spokesman us Id in New York that for the broadcasts were being worked out.) It will be the first time since 1947 that American radio stations have carried direct live voice broadcasts by "bourgeois" newspapermen from Moscow. The editors will alternate, speaking a few minutes each today, Sunday and Monday. James Wick, leader of the American party, got the broadcasting idea started.

New York Police Have Hectic Good Friday NEW YORK (UP)-Good Friday was a black Friday for New York police. Here are the day's major crimes: A quiet, devout church organist, Dr. Harold A. Conner, strangled his wife and two children and killed himself with a bread knife. Two robbers held up the son of a hardware company owner in the Bronx and escaped with $25,000 in cash.

A liquor store bandit killed Patrolman John Pendergrass, a Negro, in a running gun battle in harlem. Attractive Mrs. Anna Maier, 27, threw two of her fiva children down an airshaft to their deaths. Her Bronx neighbors overpowered her as she was attempting to kill a third child. A A INTELLIGENT BUYING IS IMPORTANT FACTOR IN STOCKING LARDER Chicago Health Dept.

Reverses Sawdust Ruling CHICAGO (UP)-- The Health Department today retreated from a previous rilling and said time- honored sawdust could stay on butcher shop floors. "Keep the sawdust but spread it thin and change it regularly," the department said, in effect. Butchers protested several weeks ago when the department moved to ban all sawdust as unsanitary. They said sawdust on butcher floors was a fine tradition as old as the meatselling business It kept butchers from slipping carrying heavy chunks of beef, they said. The city made a strategic retreat and deckled the sawdust could stay--as long as it's kept clean.

I am convinced that free competition, which now is being tried, will utimately reduce the cost of foods. There will be a lag between the wholesale price drop and the retail prices. In Florida I own a cattle ranch. Steers which sold on the hoof at 30 cents a pound two years ago now sell for 10 cents Cows which then sold at $200 can be bought for $60.

Headers wonder why the retail price of beef is still high. The answer is that the beef now in the stores for sale was purchased by the packers at high prices. We must wait until this high-priced beef is eaten before the retail price will drop further. This may take four to six months. The same principle applies to many foods.

Home freezers are good for the home and good for the nation as a while. These, however, should be filled intelligently. To get the most from buying In quantity, the family should give real study to seasons, crop reports and other factors. The first verse of the third chapter of the Book of Ecclesiastes gives good advice to those who buy food for storing. We should buy in quantity when beef, fruit, vegetables and the like are cheap; but we should also consider quality as well as price.

It is wise perhaps to buy some meats now; but wait before storing beef. While such lower food prices please city dwellers, falling prices cause much grief to millions of rural families. Cattlemen now are taking big losses. City folks laugh about the dairy mess and sirnlar mistakes, but they all have a sad tiuman side of grief, loss and disappointment. Let us be sympathe- ic with al' unfortunate rural people.

President Eisenhower is getting of letters every day from lonest, hard-working farmrs who are being "ruined." This probably accounts for his urging Secretary 3enson to "go slowly." Otherwise, he may fear that the Republicans will lose control of Congress in 1954 Customs which have existed for 20 years cannot be corrected quickly. The same principle involves tariff changes. Radio maiket news of wholesale farm prices is good for the farmers, fruit growerd and others; but such news does not help the housewife much. Hence, newspapers could help consumers to interpret properly the valuable food advertisements in their papers by reporting weekly the amount of fresh, canned and frozen food prducts on the market. Every housewife should carefully read all advertisements, especially the ads of the reliable supermarkets.

How to study local advertisements is a work which women's clubs could take up. Don't blame salesmen of fertilizers, seeds, farm machinery and real estate for urging farmers to produce more. Yet, the fact that some farmers have not the good sense and self-control to properly weigh such sales talks is one reason their troubles today. It might be a good idea this year to devote the state agricultural fairs to teaching farmers some simple economic truths Neither farmers nor consumers can depend upon most politicians for honest advice. This appjies especially to the promoters of certain unneeded irrigatioj; projects.

Fanners could get into the same box in 1954 that Wall strret speculators got into in 1929, because every fanner is forced to speculate on weather and other unpredictable factors. Another thought: Buy things from your local stoore and, if possible, buy home-made products. If farm organizations would teach sane economic, there need be 3O more "butter scandal" and the entire dairy industry would ultimately benefit. School Committee To Hear Darling COLUMBUS, 0., (UP)--Suspended Ohio State University Professor Byron T. Darling will appear at a closed university hearing today to explain why he refused to tell the Un-American Activities Committee whether he was or is a Communist.

University President Howard L. Bevis suspended Darling from the institution's staff after the associate physics professor refused to answer questions before the committee March 13, Present at today's hearing in addition to Bevis, Darling and Darling's counsel will be three university vice presidents and three faculty observers. Bevis said he would announce the results of the close hearing after Darling completes his explanation. Bevis called for the hearing before deciding whether to dismiss Darling. Meanwhile, Rep.

Harold Velde chairman of the House committee, has appointed a three member subcommittee to question the physicist's wife, Mrs. Barbara Ann Darling, next month. Mrs. Darling is employed in the romance language department of the University. Darling accused the House committee of "badgering" him at the March 13 hearing and said the committee had "no legitimate cause" for requiring him to appear.

"I have never done and shall never do anything disloyal and against the interest of my country I am confident I will be returned to my permanent status with Ohio State University," Dar ling said.

An Allied officer said he had heard reports the Reds had cleared an area close to Kaesong for construction of a processing center. There was definite hope here as the time approached for the historic talks that American and other Allied prisoners conceivably could be heading for home in two weeks if the U.N. and Communist negotiators agreed on exchange, Close observers believed a N. delegates did not expect the prisoner exchange talks to down in lengthy debate on minor details as have truce talks in the past. Allied officers were represented as cautiously feeling the a would proceed swiftly and efficiently the Communists were acting in bad faith with their peace overtures.

Little argument was expected on the numbers of sick and wounded prisoners to be exchanged. Each side, it was believed, would merely exchange lists of the a i i POW's in accordance with the Geneva Convention. It was believed possible lists of prisoners held by each side could be exchanged sometime within the next week. fight to Get GG ROCKFORD (UP)--The struggle of Rockford health officials to get a supply of gamma globulin to fight a measles epidemic here was disclosed today by the Rockford Morning Star.

Out in the year but, were very good now. Shortages in other cities were not foreseen, he said. He predicted that by June 1 supplies of GG would be sufficient to combat polio outbreaks. Cross said Rockford's request was turned down and then approved because a new shipment arrived in the state the day he ordered the request denied.

He said news of the new shipment had not reached him at the time he was considering the Rockford plea, Allen, home from Washington for a visit to Galena, confirmed Friday night that Rockford physicians had sought his assistance to overcome the shortage of gamma globulin. Allen answered by informing local doctors that the Illnois allocation of GG for March was 6,000 cubic centimeters. Then Chailes H. Davis, Wmne- bago County Republican central committee chairman, asked Slrat- ton to use his infuence. "lu about two days Rockford had its supply," said Davis.

Supplies of the serum are so short that physicians cannot buy it from private firms and must sign for the amounts they receive.

He has conferred with Mr. Eisenhower on the problem but what position he has taken has not been revealed. Taft and the President had a golfing date this afteinoon at which the Hall candidacy could come up. Dewcy's endorsement came as something of a surprise here.
