High Explosives, Hard Work Mark Week At Worlds Capital By ELMER BENDINER NEW YORK, April 5?The brew they make here at the world's capi- | tal. Lake Success, simmered last : week, at times boiled to the top, at other times exploded in angry jets of steam through well placed safety vents. | Tiie Truman plan for Greece and : Turkey, and the grim question of ?, disarmament were the simmering j pots watched here with mounting j anxiety. Bub even in the unanimous j agreement of the Security Council to make the United S.^tes ah ad ministrator under the trusteeship | system, there were scarcely veiled reference- to coming battles, a bit ten nes- even in unanimity. question of the veto power was. , raised again, then deftly skirted. % Away from the shifting skirmish I line, there was- solid work done. A great international system look ing to the liberation of subject peo ples all over the world was inaug urated. Another vast world body made plans for raising the status of women, controlling narcotics^ saving the children of war-ravaged areas, setting up standards for a world-wide free press,, easing travel restrictions, remolding the shattered economies of Europe and Asia in a world plan, unprecedent ed and staggering. That job, with out firewoiVs, was advanced well beyond the talking stage. This Week's Double-He a der But what the world waits lVr i Gromyko's double-header to be pi.jhed this week. When Senator Ai.-tin. needled to obvious einbnr ra- -mcnt by a persistent Soviet point >>r order, had a.i\;mced \rv Tr.u.iaii plan mere than a A*eek ago, Gromyko, unsmiling but un ex.-ited. raised his yellow perr.l. rr"*?r- yi*-- nr* ?""7^ *"V j ?; ?? ?? ?*?? . nd it WdS not ur.tii the 11 .x^ ~? - lions began that the w . id i;:ie.v \he battle was poStp..-nert. Gmmyko asked :or time to consider the pro posal. Aside from the obvious and, well publicized effects on Greece and Turkey, the Austin plan is ex plosive because of its theory of re lations between U. N. and a mem The UNIVERSAL ?> Is Proving Itself and Paying Its Way On Farms and In Industry All Over America ? You see Universal 'Jeeps' in your town and at every crossroad, hard at work on an endless variety of jobs. They are there because they do the job better at lower cost. ? On tfye Farm the Universal " Jeep" is one vehicle used all day, every day, throughout the year to do countless jobs on farms and ranches. With powerful " Jeep" Engine, 4-wheel drive and range of 6 speeds forward and 2 reverse, the % "Jeep" is used for plowing, discing, harrowing and other field work. Both pull-type and hydraulic lift equipment can be used with the Universal / "Jeep". Power take-off furnishes to 30 h. p. belt power for feed mills, buzz saws and ensilage cutters. It operates sprayers, binders, power mowers and other shaft driven farm equipment. ? The Jeep serves as a pick-up and tow truck that travels roads and open country impassable to ord inary vehicles. ? We carry a complete line of Farm Equipment, including Hydraulic Lifts, Plows, Disk Harrows, Sub-soilers, all available for immediate delivery. ? Call Joe Fulmer or Frank Allison for a demon stration of the Jeep and the Farm Equipment. ATTENTION TRUCKERS We have in stock several new 750-20 all weather tires, tubes and wheels.

Three Sides to Disarmament There are three sides to dis armament. The Americans and the British have set up rigid prerequis ites involving atomic energy con trol, peace settlements with the Germans and the Japanese, and a working system of safeguards'. France's Alexandre Parodi, rep resenting the middle ground arg ued: No disarmament without se curity, but '*To desire full security first is to consent never to disarm." j The last camp found a spokes man in pudgy, professorial Dr. Os car Lange who sain, "My govern ment stands for -rapid and radical disarmament ? disarmament now without any undue delay, and ex cuses." He went on, to dot .il hs nation's own demobilization "in spite of the l\.ct that we have the iongest frontier with Germany." Then lie called attention to his ; country's penal code which pro ! vides up to five years' imprison ment for "public incitement to ag gressive war." '"IJ?the U. X. fails." ho .- j !, "then we have very little else :.> look forward to." That ia-t portentous note was echoed by Dr. l,.;,c-.o4 Colombia who v.(?iced ".i cor* ,.n j ?'?n.-e of frustration" in meeting the "stabb.an 1 ? t:( o! 1 ? inter j a. lior.al Fituation.*' Wearily he con mente i .hat h. .s "an. question in my .mind whether the waa-k we pi n. i- prematurely un aertaken." Then he called for the tag five t") get together on a plan ! work. | Tae one significant voice that ha< not been heard is Andrei Gro mvko's though he h: s o?"len inc'i cated his desire to .-peak on the general question of disarmament. His statement, and it will be a bombshell, will come this week. Trusteeship Wrangle The offci* put the 6*00 Caroline)) Marshall and Marianna Islands under a U. S. trusteeship agree ment, made as a take-it-or-leave it proposition by Senator Austin, received unanimous endorsement, but in the last session which ran on until close to nine o'clock in the evening, the details produced acrimonious wrangles that made' the unanimity seem superficial, in deed. Though representatives of small pmvers like Brazil's Dr. G>waldo Aranha tried to stem the debate by vainly pleading "No use for all : these big words, .'ill 'his considera tion," the argument wore on until Gromyko Mip joi ted a Chinese wording for one article which would have p '??' rrt the agreement migh i.i- amended or terminated "acc?-"i * g 't rules of the charter," ?* ?:h * ' '"^renc*? ae.Piiia.-'t vvi r.

What do you think railroads make? ft The public thinks What do you tliink tiiey should make? VVI-at are the facts? The public thinks 10% would be fair /V Actually the railroads earned only 2^4% in 1946. To provide the service you want railroads need to earn at least 6%. But estimates indicate that even with the recent freight rate increase, the return for 1947 will be only about half that requirement Impartial research po]hshowthat,onthe a vera ge, peopl e t h i n k we m a ke 15 % .They also think a fair return would be 10%. I\ hat We Make But for the year 1916, with the biggest peace-time traffic in history, the rail ? rnarla oomPrl nnly Thifl jfl less than one-half the comparable earn ings for other industries. The reasons for this low return are not hard to find. Since 1939 railroad wages have increased 526/io% and the pric es of fuel, materials and supplies have gone up 616/io%. * But freight rates have just recently been increased an average of only 17^io%?a year after the effective date of the last big wage increase. ~ What About Thin Year? It is estimated that the return for 1947, 1 even with -the recent freighti__rate in crease, will be only about half the 6% minimum return required to provide the improvements and service needed. This will be because of increased costa of materials and supplies; because cer ineron.<4*i granted in 1946 wore in effect for only part of 1946 but will be in effect for all of 1947; because of increased special pa$*v>ll taxes on railroads; and because of a decline in passenger business. What Does This Mean To You? The answer is "Plenty!" Your standard of living is tHe~HigEest in the world be cause of mass production. But mass production would not be possible with out mass transportation, which the railroads provide at low cost. Why 6% I$ Needed The kind of service your standard of living requires takes a lot of money for new equipment and improvements. To carry out the post-war improvement program for better equipment, tracks, terminals and modern safety devices, a minimum return of 6% is needed. So when the railroads make only 2H cents on each SI.00 of their net prop erty investment, it concerns you.* The fund* fbr future new equipment and improvements must come from rail road earnings and also from investors. They will furnish money on reasonable terms only if they have confidence in TtV1 fnfnii i 1111linen rf thg rnilrnnrin, You Have Another Slake In This Even if you do not own any railroad stocks or bonds, insurance companies and savings banks do.
