New York Chicago Detron Making the Record of Cooperation Complete A remarkable bit of local cooperation summarized at Tuesday's luncheon of the McAdams Highway Committee with Congressman Mel Price almost unbelievable in a community that decries its own lack of the clement. And the committee received a philosophical bit of encouragement from Price, who stressed that civic leaders must band together in a fight for what they want and need. Achievement of the present status of the highway, Chairman H. W. Trovillion pointed out.

has resulted from cooperation of private, city, county, and state efforts. He and Mayor Linkogle praised especially the Mississippi Lime which has provided rock where needed, assumed responsibility for the technical parts of the Lovers' Leap removal, and restored number of spots along the road that had been washed out by heavy rains, Other private individuals involved also have expressed willingness to cooperate. The Sparks mill interests own a piece of property which they have indicated they are ready to turn over as right of way when needed. Perhaps even the Illinois Terminal, whose main offices are out of town, and therefore out of direct touch with local affairs, may cventually come forth with active indications of its willingness to translate into actions earlier promises regarding right of way. It may even be hoped that the Terminal will do better than its original promises; that it will recognize it owes the community considerable for the long, free and profitable use of what always has been, recognized as a' county highway.

It might well consider, too, what redress it could make to the community for the nuisance it has caused with its coal loading dock, which continues to send showers of blackening dust into the blufftop residential district. These things along with the example of the Mississippi Lime should all be taken into consideration by the Terminal. It should consider seriously its earlier demands of the city for thousands of dollars as compensation for expenses of removing its tracks off the McAdams Highway route. Then the record of cooperation between private and public agencies toward achievement of a tional shrine to Nature would be complete. If This Is War, Then' Is Mass Murder? "Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye.

have done it unto -Matthew. In this modern day chere are so 'many complex appeals to one's conscientiousness that we become almost immune to such shocking photographs as the one at the bottom of Monday's Telegraph front page. It was shocking because it is stark evidence animal brutality. It is a factual report of the mass murder that goes under the guise of the word "war." The picture showed some of the 400 bodies Taejon natives bound and slain by retreating North Koreans before leaving the city, Row upon row of grisly evidence was to buried in ditches. What used to be people in a city had become the garbage of war: If this is war, then what name do we have for mass murder? War is pictured as a struggle of soldiers on a battlefront.

The bomb-blasted babies and the maimed innocent in cities, the helpless and homeless, they are not on the generals' maps, Thank, heavens our American troops do not leave behind them such horrible relics of battle as the bodies of Taejon. Only the godless men of Red Oriental stock could stomach the bestiality of senseless mass murder. These blood-stained descendants of the hordes of Genghis Khan have launched campaign of maddened killing with the savage cruelty of a human wolf pack, lusting to kill, maim, torture. The beast shall have its day. It has run amok and millions of persons will suffer.

But the world is still the home of man--intelligent man-and the brute must eventually pay the price of evil. They are as wild dogs--and the dogs are destined to outcasts from the friendship of nations. Apple-Picking Season In Full Swing Apple picking time is the climax of the year's joys, for with it, in places where there are well kept orchards, go other joys marking festivitites of the time of falling leaves. The finest of all the apples, at least some of us think, is the Jonathan. When the trees are not overloaded and they have been sprayed with destroyers of pestilential creatures, the Jonathan apple matutes in glory.

Its skin, reddened by September sunshine, its heart filled with delicious juices such as will give the best flavor to pies and cider and apple sauce, we have the prize of fall ripening fruits. The best of it is the Jonathan will keep some time after being put away and will still make a glorious show at Christmas time. Calhoun county is not alone in its claim to distinction for successful apple growing, but she does stand preeminent in this section. For many 3 year Alton and the neighboring market would not have the opportunity of enjoying the Calhoun apple orchard product but now the chances are better and they can be had. Time was that the Caihoun crop would be shipped 10 the eastern states and eastern apples would be shipped here--a system that never did seem sensible.

But today with hard roads leading to the apple country and no restrictions on automobile travel, it it possible for home folks hereabouts to possess for themselves that which is the finest in apples, 2 25 Years Ago Oct. 4, 1925 Dr. D.

BOWDEN David Lawrence 'Voice' Limited In Its Effect By Acheson Policy WASHINGTON, Oct.

"Voice of America" is as strong or as weak as the policies of the of state, Dean Acheson. At the moment the American people believe that the "Voice of America" tries to persuade the people of the Soviet Union to abandon. Communism. But evidently that sort of broadcasting is taboo. The "Ukrainian Bulletin," official publication of the Ukrainians in this country, just Issued, prints an interesting exchange of Jetters recently Foy Kohler, head of the State department's broadcasting division.

It appears that the Ukrainians here have been dissatisfied because the "Volce of America" isn't more pointed in its broadcasts to the people of the Ukraine, who total 45,000,000 and who' are regarded by many observers as constituting the Achilles heel of the Soviet Union. The letter of criticism came from Prof. L. Dobriansky of Georgetown University, who Is president of- the Ukrainian" Congress Committee of America. The answer by Mr.

Kohler of the State department follows: "I appreciate your calling my attention to the misinterpretations which had been: attached to, the phrases In my letter of April. 16 to Vladimir Sushko to the effect that, 'our Ukrainian broadcasts have been criticized, sometimes severely, because they do not project a liberated Ukraine. We still are unable to do. that for that would be contrary to United States foreign "As you know from conversations have it is the function of the Voice' of America to express and to implement AmerIcan foreign. policy.

It was certainly, therefore, not my Intention in the letter to Mr. Sushko to make any statement which would In any sense constitute a pronouncement on American pollcy. Similarly it. is not my intent In this; letter do 50, since pronouncements on this subJect must rather come from the President or the secretary of state, or authorized responsible political officers 'o! the. Department of State in Washington.

This should have been clear to the readers of my letter to Mr. Sushko and I find it difficult to appreciate. how the Interpretations you mention could have arisen. However, I am glad to' reemphasize and expand my remarks as follows, I meant simply to make clear that that policy does not authorize the Voice of America at the present time to engage. In any programming directly designed to 'change the governmental or social structure of the Soviet to quote the secretary of state his address to the University of California on March 16 last.

continues to do nothing about out, this does not in any way lessen our sympathy with the who are obliged to live under the Soviet Neither, peoples I would add, does. it prevent the Volce. of America from giving pression to that sympathy; nor. does it affect our serious. intention to bring to those peoples the true story of what is going on in the world and how the American government and people view it.

I would certainly hope that such information, interpreted in the light of their own historical traditions, would comfort and encourage the Ukrainian people in their endeavors to find the means of expressing their free will and of achieving the aspirations they may' have to become again the masters of their own destiny. "I trust that the foregolng will clarify for you the intention of my letter and the objectives of the program of the Voice of America." The foregoing. Illustrates. the limitations "Voice of America." Apparently broad- casts must not do anything to Induce the people of the Soviet Union to change their, governmental or social structure. Yet nine out of ten members of Congress have believed all along that this is: what were appropriating money lor.

Also, most people outside of Congress have assumed that the main objective of the broadcasts was to create inside the Sovlet Union a feeling of antipathy toward international Communism, which, of course, nowadays is indistinguishable from Internal Communism. Just why must the Department of State, be 'so polite in its broadcasts? Why can't it tell the peoples who make up the Soviet Union that their governmental structure is a menace to world peace today that, unless it is changed, the world will drift some Into large-scale war? Why can't the Department of State's broadcasts point out that the leaders of the Union have already demonstrated in North Korea that they belleve in aggression by military force? If the Department: of State has some diplomatic Inhibitions about blunt speech and a direct appeal to the Soviet peoples, then some other agency. should undertake such broadcasts. There is no reason why an agency like the OWI, responsible to the President alone, shouldn't set up 10 organize broadcasts all kinds. These could be outspoken and would not.

All they say de: "Those orders we got from the Defense department." At the Defense department it was Indicated the affair was herited recently-ousted Secretary Louis Johnson. But there is no indication that anything will be done to put an end to Sheppard's boodling, The reason for this apathy may explaih how he got these favors in the first place.

Solely through the operation of the seniority system, Sheppard is second-ranking member on the House subcommittee on appropriations for the armed services. That's the committee that passes on all money requests by the army, navy and air force. It nat- it. Meanwhile, the deadly spiral of inflation goes up and up, and the buying power of the American people's dollar gets less and less. The housewife probably doesn't I need to read this in the newspaper, but the nation's market basket now costs her almost 20 percent more than she spent to feed her family before the outbreak of the Korean war last June.

Here are few examples: Creamery butter is up 16 since June, while the average family's bread and bakery bill has risen between 8 and 10 percent. The price of bacon is up 16 percent since June. The family milk bill has risen about 18 percent on a nation-wide average. Round steak is up 33 percent since June, pork chops, 10 percent. A dozen eggs costs 70 cents and higher, compared to 52 cents in -an Increase of 32 percent.

Coffee has from 74 cents a pound in June to 84 cents for better grades, or price, boost of 13 percent. Black pepper, which only cents pound 1939, now costs $2.66 a pound. The wholesale price of cotton yarn has Increased 40 percent in the last year, while the price of a pair of shoes has risen 25. percent since September, 1949, and 15 percent since last June. Truman and Coolidge The price of medicine has shot up from 25 to 50 percent.

Meanwhile, veterans of the last war are finding it tougher than ever to buy the homes which Congress promised them five years ago. Here are a few reasons why: The President has lightened credit controls on lower-bracket home buyers, but he has done nothing about controlling the soaring prices of building materials. The wholesale price of lumber has jumped 25 percent since June. IL is practically impossible to buy cement at any price. Window glass is up 12 percent over last year, Copper wire and other electrical and plumbing equipment has risen from 10 to 20 percent, while home fuels are 10 percent higher than last year.

However, despite the growing trend of inflation, President Truman still refuses to control prices, though he has the powers to do so if he wants to use them. The Democratic party has long citicized. Calvin Coolldge's Indifference to inflation, claiming- quite rightlythat it led to an unforgettable depression, Unless Truman acts in a hurry, he will be. far more responsible for inflation than the much criticized Republican administrations from 1921 to Soft-Soap Sawyer One of the big inside reasons tor' failure to impose wage: and price controls is the lackadaisical attitude of well-meaning, likeable Charles Sawyer, the secretary of commerce. The other day, tough minded Stuart Symington, head of the tional Security: Resources Board, learned that his friend Sawyer WAS going to make two milk-toast, nilddle-of-the-road speeches garding price controls.

Symington's advisers debated whether they. should warn the secretary. of commerce that airtight, controls would be necessary, However, they decided not to call Secretary Sawyer. To warn him, they decided, would mean that he would only get bury and lobby against the controls which they were planning, Man With Smile Amazing thing about the man whom Secretary Sawyer has picked to control. Industry is that during the last 'war he was eased out of the War Froduction Board because he wasn't tough enough.

As far as can be learned no other appropriations member got free air travel home and has a C-47 to use as he sees fit, at a cost of hundreds of dollars a day to taxpayers. When the air force was asked what Sheppard would use the plane for, the reply was: "We were told it was for official duties." But the clerk of.

Sheppard's committee knows of no "official duties" that would require the assignment of a special plane to him. Said Clerk Robert Lambert: "I don't know of a single member ot the committee who has been directed to make any trips on committee business."
