Shakespeaie. Let's Co-ordinate On its first anniversary the Air Force Association, an organiza-, tion of former Army flyeis, endorsed the proposed armed foices unification as "a definite step- it. the right direction." But it also expressed the hope that a separate air force might eventually include the 'Navy's land-basea aircrait, and that unification might be ex tended down from the present top Gen. James Doolittle, the AFA's president, urged these developments in the mterest of efficiency, effectiveness and economy. His arguments have since been bolstered by two articles in Col- her's magazine by W.

B. Courtney, called "Will Russia Rule the Air?" These contrast the development of new air weapons by Russia and Britain, both of which have independent air forces under a unified command, with our own efforts. General Doolittle revealed that recently American research the field of guided missies was being earned on independently by the Army Air Forces, the Army Ordnance Department, and the Jfavy Bureaus of Aeronautics and Ordnance. Army research has now been co-ordinated, he said, but it is still separate from Navy research in the sssnc field. Obviously, are a waste of money, time and skills, They would "be bad enough if we had a comfortable lead in the development of new air devices, They are rather frightening when one.

the war, says Mr. Courtney, we gave Russia engineers unlimited opportunity to study our aircraft production methods We gave British designers sufficient leisure to go ahead with advanced Tesearch while we built most of the aircraft and parts used in the "Western European theater. Today Mr. Courtney gives us Ule edge in such things as production experience, airline equipment, airports, private flying and backlog -of trained military flyers. He puts Russia in front on all points Att mom tm mm of foresight, research and future war potentials.

England 'leads us in organized national rescarcn, electronics, jet engine development, and possession of bases. England is building a $100,000,000 National Aeronautical lishment, planning a National Gas Turbine Establishment and train ing leaders for both the RAF and the aviation industry at a national air college. Russia, of course, has the ulti mate in integiated national planning. The Soviet government is not accountable to its citizens for expenditures. Nor is it telling anyone what being aone mr and atomic research.

Nearly 40 yeais ago Alexander Graham Bell said that whoever ruled the air would rule the worlds That prediction's fulfillment may be close at hand, we don i want to rule the world, but we don't want anv other one country to do it, either, it is time tnai we got co-ordinated and got going toward the future. One way to start would be to follow General Doolittle's suggestion of integration, all down the line "Flood Control" Hoax A short time ago a veteran of the Leyte fighting came to Wash ington to return a Congressional medal of honor, the nation rngn est award for valor, which he had been erven. His reason was that the government he had with great distinction in war about to disposses him and other farmeis to make loom a new flood contiol project. This casts a dramatic sidelight on the much debated subject of "flood control." We have di oped a mania in this direction. have built enormously costly proj ects to protect lands which were rarely if ever subject to really damaging floods, and we built other projects to save marginal lands whose true value less than the cost of tiooa control.

Worst of all, we have used the term "flood control" to mask the building of tax -exempt socialized hydroelectric project's which often duplicate existing power faculties, and whose mam result is to eliminate heavily-taxed, regulated utilities, and prevent the normal expansion of electric development as a private enter- Public power fanatics, under the old guise of "flood control" again making a determined drive nore money, more power proj ects and more socialism. Congress should scrutinize the whole picture and refuse to ap propriate dime for any project which-is not actually needed real 'Jflood "control." It should turn thumbs down on every new posal for public power. That, alone would make a very substantial-cut the gigantic- federal budget. which is necessary if there is to be "any debt retirement or tax reduction.

It hadn't troubled her so deeply because she had known the grubby, unthinking, hopeless poverty of Carson street But to Parker, who had lived all his life on the hilL who had never known what it was to regard a dollar with wholesome respect lor exactly what it would buy in the way of food and clothing and shelter, the world had fallen apart. Cassie began to cry. The tears carac in a rush. Not that crying would help. It was just ihat the luxury of feeling sorry for one's could be indulged here for a few moments with no one to see.

Victor Olander. the secretary-treasurer of the Illinois Federation of Labor and an editor of its weekly neus lettei, lecently composed an essay which 1 should like to discuss in a sweetly reas onable spirit because I think he has something here ana tnat i have something to top him. Mr. Olander was a sailor by trade so he declares his belief that "tlie union ship can weather the storm if its crew is disciplined, its hatches aie battened, its sails properly trimmed, with steady hands at the wheel and every man of the crew fully conscious not only of his rights and privileges but also of his duties and responsibilities." We have heie no spectacular blatherskite, communists or gangster, but a man who enjoys the lespect of his community.

The police were no good to Ziegler and the man to whom he telephoned for protection, a special agent named never-mmd because I believe he is still in the service, had no authority to protect him even though his mortal danger arose from the fact that he had been giving tne Treasury information about this unioneer's income.

He and Sid and Cassie and Papa went fishing in the river and swimming. They had glorious fun. And evenings Parker would sit at the piano and play.

Mama took care of the baby a good part of the time. Ellen was growing like a weed. And Parker seemed to take more interest in his daughter now that he could watch her taking her bath, holding her warm ana moist ana curiy-ncaciea, wrapped in a towel, while Mama hunted talcum and fresh diapers. He carried Ellen outside for her sunning, and fed her thcaftemoon bottle, and even put her to bed for her nap somctimcs. "This old farm isn't such a bad ace io be, after all.

I would say that not more than ten per cent is run wisely and conscientiously.

K1326 Dixon, Lllhipis. Monday. February 10, 1947 New, Wheat Hits Highest Value in Nation's History Chicago, Feb. 10 (AP) Wheat lying dormant under winter winds and snows throughout the grain belt today had a higher monetary value for this time of year than ever before in the nation's history. While cash wheat has advanced to its peak for the past 27 yeais, grain men pointed out that an even more spectaculai contrast with the past was being made by "futures" contracts for delivery of wheat later this year.

Grain for future delivery is dealt in on the Chicago Board of Trade and other exchanges. The winter crop which now is in tho ground waiting for tne first signs of spring to start greening up is represented in grain markets by July and September contracts. Value Goes Lp Within the past three wepfcs, these contracts have advuncerl about 14 cents a bushel. whKh equivalent to an increasi around S132.5S0.000 in "the value of the new crop. This increase based upon the present outlook for a crop of 941.000.000 bushels Obviously, a price upturn which can add over one hundred million dollars to the potential farm income from one crop in 21 days is petty advance.

'wo major causes lor the new crop wheat price are otfereci by analysts First the fact that the government must support wheat at a high price; second, heavy withdrawal of srrams from abioad. country' for deficit areas Record Parity High Under present law, the Deoart- ment of Agriculture must support wheat prices at 90 per cent -of parity until Dec 31. 19-1S. It will do this through government leans. Parity is a theoietical price cal culated to give a bushel of wheat the same purchasing power it had in 1909-14.

Parity is now $1 90 a. bushel, thf h'ghest it has ever been. The loan to tarmers on the new crop win be based on tne July 1 par ity. Although parity can decline before that date, it will dc so only if the prices of things farmers buy from automobiles to fertilizer come down first. This prospect of a high govern ment support level is the major tactor.

maintaining new crop prices, traders believe. July wheat is now selling around a ousnel and Septcmbei around SI 85 a bushel on the Chicago Board of Trade. Pastor Resigns Post in Negro Voting Row McRaer Feb. 10 (AP) The resignation of the Rev. Joseph A.
