Confusion Without Solution TVpical of the confusion over the high and rising cost of food were the findings of Senator Flanders' investigating commitlee in a one-day session, at Providence. B. I. Everybody had an explanation or excuse, and the result resembled the old story of the blind man describing an elephant after a-limited exploration of the animal by sense of touch. A miller said that formers were making an "unconscionable profit," and that the government's farm price support program should be repealed.

A market official told the committee that export buvi.rig of beef was at the root of high meat costs. He" that Britain, in June had standing orders for beef at $2 a hundredweight higher than the local market. An AFL representative charged wholesalers and manufacturers or producers with chief responsibility. High corporate' profits, not high wages, were the cause of all the trouble, a CIO official insisted. He demanded a special session of Congress to restore price controls and rationing.

A retailer said some of his colleagues had reduced operating expenses 4 per cent and still were making less money on a greater volume of business. "That proves," he said, "that retailing is not the cause of high prices." This confusion is normal as well as" typical, and almost everyone shares it. But opinionated confusion cluttered up with preconceptions and extraneous theories won't help. Neither will hysteria. Neither will the intrusion of politics into an already un- happv mess.

For there are a few factors amidst all the uncertainties which seem to stand forth clearly, and which need to be accepted. Perhaps the surest thing is that we cannot stop or drastically curtail food exports to Europe, as some have suggested. American food is a political weapon. If we withhold it Europeans yvill suffer and turn against us. Insecure governments friendly to the United States, like those in Italy and France, would almost surely fall.

They have become more insecure with each cut in the bread ration. The shutting off of American aid would finish them, and the Communists would undoubtedly move in and take over. Furthermore, too little export to Europe would harm our economy. For exports help to keep the domestic food industry going at a steady pace. This keeps employment 'high and maintains buying power.

Rationing and price control aren't the solution. First of all. Congress almost certainly would not re- impose them with an election coming up. The general exhortation to eat less is not very helpful. Many Americans eat too much and can and should cut down.

But far many more just gan to approach an adequate diet during the war years. They shouldn't cut-down, though they probably are having to without urging under present price A better idea of what is wanted lor Europe, arid when, would certainly help, if such information can be had. With it, government allocation of grain supplies (which affect meat, poultry, egg an'd dairy supplies) might then remove some of current uncertainty. Finally, there is one pessimistic hope. No matter what is causijQg the high food prices, they are bound to come down when they get so high that the majority of people can't pay them.

Alcohol does not cause alcoholism. The causes are social, physical and Selden Bacon, Yale U. sociologist. campaign to revise or repeal the Tan-Hartley Act continues to have considerable support from the American public. In the latest test of sentiment on the act an Institute survey finds that nearly half of the voters who have heard or read' about the law think it.should be either revised or repealed outright.

However, the proportion favoring revision or repeal Is not as high today as In a similar survey reported in August. From coast to coast voters were question as follows: "Have you heard or read about the Taft-Harley Jaw which deals labor unions?" A otaf of 72 per cent said tKey had heard about the act, while 28 per cent said they had not. Last month only 61-per cent had heard of the act. Those who had heard or read about It were next asked: "Do you tblnk the Taft-Hartley Au ir. 32 21 22 law should be revised, repealed or left unchanged?" The vote today, as compared to August, follows: TODAY.

KevlRed .27 Repealed 18 Total Left Unchanged 28 No opinion ..27 Members of labor unions polled in the survey voted by 58 per cent In favor of revision of repeal, 19 per cent for no change and 23 per cent undecided.

Wood, board chairman of Sears, Roebuck A Co. Billy Rose: PRODUCER SEES SPOTS The wunderkind of the theater In the Twenties was fellow I'll call Nat Forrest. For a couple of seasons, a Broadway conversation couldn't get beyond the eighth sentence without somebody bringing up the name of this "tetched" and talented producer. I remember seeing him come Into a 45th Street restaurant one night, sit down uninvited ftt a table, spear a potato from someone's plate, and then enchant everyone within hearing with a discourse which touched on Restoration comedy, mah long, the Barrymore and the flea museum on 42nd Street. Nat Forrest was at his best when he was wooing a playwright who had a script Nat fancied.

The Theatre Guild might want it. Brock Pemberton might want it. But If Nat managed to get 20 minutes alone with the playwright, that was that. When the writer came to, his signature was generally on a contract. Once the ink on the contract was dry, Nat was apt to put his charm and manners away in moth balls.

If anything went wrong during rehearsals, he would indulge in schoolboy tantrums, screnm for and on. occasion, br the playwright from, the theater. He also above i play for the playwright's girl. One summer Nat leased a theater to house the production of a Russian The last week of rehearsals, while watching a run-through of this famous play, he called a halt in the middle of the second act. "That will be all," he ihe actors.

"I refuse to put my name on this schnitzel." He junked the scenery and costumes and paid off the troupe. His problem npw was to find another play for his theater. On a drama page that evening he read that a.certain producer was considering a new play by the previous year's Pulitzer Prize winner. Over the coffee cups late that night, the other producer's press agent told Nat something about the new play. At eight o'clock the following morning, Nat had the playwright on the phone.

"Hello," he said. "This Is Nut Forrest. Last night- a mutual' friend told me the plot of your new play. I couldn't sleep for thinking about it. I'd like to produce What? You're not really going to let that butterfingers put it on! That would be a statutory offense.

He's a nice enough" fellow, but he'll leave his muddy footprints on every page of your manuscript. You haven't signed any papers yet, have 'you? That's good. I sec your play as a delicate, tender thing--bittersweet, like unti Mcllsanclc. I see Lynn Fontaine in Yes I know she's in Reunion In Vienna, my talented puppy, but I think I can get her to leave the show to do this. Put some clothes on and get to my office by nine.

I want to discuss the production with you. There's a man in Rotterdam who's just right for the scenery. What's that? I'm not listening. We'll talk about it when here. W.hni do you mean, you can't leave the house? I'll come to your apartment.

I'll be there in 20 minutes. I'll bring along some champagne to make it official." Nat Forrest wasn't seen around Broadway for the next couple of weeks. Because it wasn't until he charged into the apartment, embraced the playwright and opened the. champagne that the playwright managed to impress Nat with the fact that he had the measles. tCopyrlKhl, 1947, oj BUlle FREE RED ELECTION The conception of a free election as practiced in Bulgaria, Hungary and Communist-controlled states of middle Europe, not to mention the Soviet Union, seems to me quite fascinating.

It wants a little getting useH to, particularly if you have been brought up as an American citizen. But, if you have been reading the papers with regard to the recent goings-on in Hungary, let us say, you must surely' have been struck by the practical aspects of an election operated by the Scarlet Brotherhood. None of that nervous sitting around on election night biting the fingernails and watching the returns come In over ticker. Over there the boys know who wins three days before the polls open. Our quaint idea of putting up two or three candidates and actually permitting the citizens to choose, one of them must seem quite naive to the average middle European who has been born, bred and steeped In the of bum sportery for centuries.

In Europe, if the other guy. has a chance to win it is conceded that there has been i mismanagement somewhere. It is this realistic attitude that has me a little worried as to how the Soviet Union and satellite nations are going to like the way the foot races in the Olympic Games are run In which the athletes are lined up in lanes, a gun is fired and the first one at the tape gets the medal. This free-an-easy method of staging a contest will be considered practically rank discrimination against the Soviets. Any contest they can't load is bourgeois-capitalist and anti-Russian.

However, it is not. sport but the practical aspects of election that Is the topic of today's thgsis, and I thought you might like to know what our forthcoming presidential election year would be like if the sportsmen of the Communist party were running it for us, as I gather they devoutly hope to, some black Well, let's see. There will be the Communist Party, probably nominating the martyr brother Eisler, the Republican, the Democratic, the Liberal and the Socialist parties, nominating--but what am I saying? That's too many parties. cannot stage an honest, orthodox, Communist election with five parties. The whole idea is abhorrent and, besides, dangerous.

What you want is one big, loving party, all Communist. Then you can have a real election. So a lot of the boys will have to go. It's a pity, because many of them are nice fellows, but a- nuisance" under the modern or middle- European theory of a satisfactory election. Since Bob Taft is titular head of the Republican Party, the head will have to be removed.

He will be arrested, charged with having presidential ambitions and fomenting a plot to conduct an honest campaign and executed. Tom Dewey will likewise be apprehended, accused of conspiracy to keep his desire for the nomination a secret from the American people, and liquidated at dawn, Stassen will be seized, given a -passport and sent to Alaska for his health. All the delegates, district leaders and officials of the Republican Party will be herded into concentration camps, half of them shot and the other half starved. An example will also be made of a few ordinary citizens on the Republican rolls just to show what happens if any one is discovered balloting in the wrong column on the great day. The boys will have to deal even more sternly with Mr.

Truman and the Democrats because of the unfortunate name of that party, an affront to every right-thinking Communist campaigner. There then remains nothing to do but cut off the heads of Henry Wallace, Marcantonio and Claude Pepper '(since friends are frequently more dangerous, politically than'enemies) nnd proceed with the election, naturally after first having disfranchised any one who can read or write and beating up the first arrival at the polls just to teach the people not to come snooninc; around on election day until they are sent for. Your ballot would be marked "Eisler for President OR ELSE!" All you would have to worry about would be to mark it "Da," or "Yes," before they broke your arm. (CoDyrlrht, 1947, McNucht Inc.) --POLK STREET I'm payin' right now my respects to good sales people in our stores. They're the guys and girls who wait on me when I'm not sure what I want.

They keep snriilin' when I'm cross and tired and snippy and irritable and fussy and They're the boys and girls who don't Fuss when I paw through their goods and disarrange 'em like a whirlwind in a hurry. They've learned not -to expect a square deal from me much of the time. They try to sell me somethin' I need when 1 favor somethin' that just-wouldn't do. When I ask it they patiently, show me goods that they know I couldn't afford to own. put up with me when they know I'm Just comparin 1 and not intend- in' to buy.

They don't get mad when I fuss about high prices--when I forget they didn't put that' 1 high priced tag on those goods, either. And toward the'end of the day their nerves get just a little frayed. Their backs ache. Their legs are numb and their shoes feel like flreless cookers. They've just had a tough customer but they come up with a smile for me.

Anybody can grin at 9 in the mornin'. But when they can grin at 5 that afternoon they're true blue. They're aJl wool and tough flbered and color fast and 'Sanforized. They're the kind you can count on when the goin' gets rough. They're center fire and guaranteed not to come unglued 01 pull apart.

Then when they lock that door at closin' time they're proud because they've made a few dollars for the boss and a.few new friends for themselves. I'm payin 1 my respects now to the folks that sell us the stuff. I mid the good sales people in our stores. CROSSWORD PUZZLE U. S.

This controversial feature of tlie bill, which John L. Lewis and other labor leaders have said thej' will defy, was put up to voters in an additional question in the poll, as "The Taft-Hartley law requires officers of labor unions to swear- that they are not Communists before they can take a case before the National Labor Relations Board. Do you think Congress should or should not change this provision?" The vote of all who have heard or read about the Taft-Harley act is: Should change It Should not 64 No opinion 18 Even the people who, in the previous question voted 'or repeal or revision of the act, show a majority in favor of this specific anti-Communist provision, BLAST SHAKES CORSICANA CORSICANA, Oct. 1 yp)--Gaa In a furnace at the Oil City Iron Works foundry here exploded last night, but no one was injured and damage was slight.
