Advertising rats famished by request FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 16, 1945. too:a;:G:ATAVASi::;:3Torj By HUGO S. . SIMS, Waehingtea Correspondent : Does Not Know The Answer Until international relations prog ress to the point "where war can never again darken the world," Secre tary of War Robert C. Patterson says that the United States should "press forward vigorously with its research and development activity in all branches of science vital to the nat ional defense." Mr. Patterson points out that pre paredness involves consideration of the relative strength of attack and defense and that today the problem involves the matter of defense which must catch up with all forms of air attack. The secretary declines to express judgment as to whether controls can be established against specific weap ons, or war itself, by arrangements between major powers or through the United Nations Organization, ad mitting that he does not know the answer. Electricity And Farms More than half of the farms in the United States do not enjoy the com forts and conveniences made possible by electricity, according to Claud R. Wickard, of the Rural Electrification Administration. Estimates are that 3,371,189 farms are without central station electric services. In addition, a large number of non-farm rural homes, schools, churches and other establishments are likewise without electricity. The total number of unelfletrified farm and non-farm rural homes is estimated at 6,000,000. The Rural Electrification Admin istration began its program in 1935, when less than eleven per cent of the farms in the United States were elec trified. It is now estimated that 44.7 per cent are electrified and the REA has $100,000,000 to distribute among the states in the proportion that their unelectrified farms bear to the total number of such farms in the country. The intervention of the govern ment to facilitate the electrification of American farms represents one of the best measures adopted by this coun try in many years. When we think of the wealth of the nation and its boasted industrial progress, the fail ure of our farm people to have the benefits of electricity was an econo mic scandal. ine iaiiure oi private utility con cerns to go into the field may be ex plained by lack of capital, but it should be noted that .when the REA began to put its' program into effect, the private utilities found that the farm market possessed possibilities. Many of them got busy in the rural territories of the nation. Fine When Feasible The Army wants to turn over the administration of occupied Germany to civilian officials. Reports sub- Post-War Navy Plan Lays Up Many Warships jiv. Fleet Admiral Ernest J. King, commander-in-chief of . the U. S. Fleet, says that the post-war disposition of the Navy's more wan , one tnousana shins will be as follows: Twenty per cent in fall commission, with 75 per cent of a war-time crew aboard; 10 per cent in reserve service, with about 25 per cent of a .war crew aboard; 60 per cent out of service, with only caretakers aboard. In view of the unsettled ( state of the world and the fact that in. another emergency "we Will want people to fill out these crews immediately, the Ad miral asserts that universal military training is necessary. He asserts that ' warships are something that cannot be earned in stock and purchased over the counter when a need arises and he could have said the same thing about the crews to man them. Amazing Aerial Maps Correct World Geography Not many people know that the Amazon River recently "moved" cross-country for 70 miles, that the Himalayan Hump added 8,000 feet in height, that a Canadian lake became 50 miles longer and that two rivers appeared in North America where maps only showed one. The explanation is that the United States Army Air Forces, by means of aerial photographs, corrected mis takes that previously misled users of existing maps. Starting in the sum mer of 1941, the Aeronautical Chart Service took pictures of more than 14,000,000 square miles of territory, roughly a fourth of the land surface of the world. In Alaska, where the Geological Survey had mapped half of the area in 40 years, the Army properly chart ed the territory in seven months. The sa me thing occurred in other areas. By the time the war ended, the aerial charting service employed 7,000 people, was turning out ten tons of charts daily and had spent more than $300,000,000 for paper, ink and print ing costs. Moreover, as a result of the work of its photographers, map makers were able to issue the first complete set of charts showing the world's features in full. They were so far ahead of existing maps that at the International Aviation Conference last year, 52 nations moved to adopt the Army Air Force maps as stand ard. Surprisingly, the map-makers found that the United States was one of the worst-charted areas of the world. The situation is being corrected and it is hoped that it will not be many years before a thoroughly accurate map of this country will be available and that, in time, the same can be said of the entire globe. "Turning Point Of War" at Guadalcanal, Says King "The turning point of the war was reached" in the Pacific, according to Admiral Ernest J. King, commander-in-chief of the United States fleet throughout the war, when the Jap anese "kept bull-headedly coming down the slot to Guadalcanal and we kept banging at them." The Admiral says that the Guadal canal campaign was a necessity and that it will survive "as a classic ex ample of what is known in war col leges as a calculated risk." The Solo mons, he points out, were necessary to keep the Japs from breaking our line of communications to Australia and New Caledonia. In discussing the strategy of the war in the Pacific, the Admiral says that our cardinal principle was to avoid contact with the Japanese armv unti battle could be joined where it vuuiu oe decisive on the Tokyo plain. The correctness of this deci sion, he says, was shown when "Ja pan's will to resist was broken even before her means of resistance were." The operation at Guadalcanal was set up for September, 1942, but when uuurmauon was received that the Japs were moving in on August 15, it became necessary to tret the. fif much a desire to escape public criti cism in America as a recognition that regeneration of a Nazi-poisoned peo ple is not a military task just as General MacArthur is said to be under urging to resign his post in Japan while his popularity still runs high. Nevertheless, the move heads in the right direction, provided certain very practical considerations are first dis posed of. First, there must be, of course, no interim vacuum. T h Army must not withdraw its admin istrators until an adequate and quail fied civilian staff is ready to take over. Second, there must be no carpet bag era no swarm of political hacks settling down to exploit a conquered people. The Army says it has a large num ber of civilian administrators already at work. Another source lies in the ranks of military government officers and men. On the whole, these appear to have been well selected and train ed. The quality of the average Army administrator's services has been less in question than the fact that he has naa to iuncuon wnnin tne cnam oi ' rank and command, subject often to il. . 1 .

U. S. Moves TeDestroy Huge Farben Industry ' - From Berlin comes the news that three munition plants of the I. G, Farben group will be blown up by the United States Army. One of the plants made smokeless powder and the other two made nitro cellulose. They are the first of many hundreds of plants now under. Ameri can control that have beenr designated for actual destruction. General Dwight Dr Eisenhower in sists that the Farben industrial em pire be smashed, pointing out that it is the greatest chemieal Industry in the world, that its representatives closely followed invading German armies to swallow up industries in MnntlArMl mHatid and )ia If wee Germany's greatest producer of mu-' nitions, with tentacles extending into every important nation, inctadinir the United States, Great Britain and the Soviet Union. - ' Even though the Farben manage ment is in a state of utter disorganiz ation and many of its plants destroy ed or damaged, General Eisenhower says that the industry remains one of the greatest combines in the world and must be completely dissolved as one means of assuring world peace. The company participated in 613 corporations, including 178 in foreign countries. It provided the German military machine with a large propor tion of high priority materials and through cartel activities, eliminated competition and divided world mar kets with companies in the United States, Great Britain, Russia and other nations. General Eisenhower points out that his troops have seized all the known Farben plants, but that these com prise only nine per cent of the hold ings in Germany. He thinks that there should be joint action by the four powers because little would be accomplished by the destruction of only the fraction of the industrial em pire in the United States zone. General Eisenhower reports that cartel activities by the German indus try included the explosives field, where agreements with a British com pany and the DuPonts divided the world market in industrial exploeivesy tne pharmaceutical, photographic and synthetic fiber fields and various agreements with oil companies, in cluding the Standard Oil of New Jer sey, which pooled technical informa tion and patent rights and required the Standard to stay out of the chem ical business. Volume Of Free Money Makes Inflation Threat There are many business exnerts who see nothing but good times for the next few years, at least, and they base their optimism upon some rather solid facts. The financial authorities point to iZ7,uoo,0O0,0O0 in currency, in check ing accounts and in general money supplies. They note the war-time savings of individuals which are esti mated at more than $100,000,000,000 and the $20,000,000,000 that the cor porations have saved. It is perfectly obvious to anybody that if this buying power is turned loose, thf danger of inflation is almost insurmountable. Consequently, there are repeated appeals to individuals to postpone buying as long as possible in tne hope that the people will manage to keep some of their savings for the proverbial rainy day. In the face of the threat, there is a strong demand for continuation of ef fective price control in order to pre vent a runaway situation. .This is op posed by many business men who seem to prefer big profits auicklv ramer man steady profits over longer time. It is worth noting that Conn-ess seems inclined to follow the course of least resistance and to abolish all con trols as soon as possible. This is ex li i j . cceuuigiy aangerous irom an eco nomic point of view but if the Con gressmen get the idea that most peo ple want controls abolished, they will ve enaea. , ., :..,:r: ' ENTERTAINS, BRIDGE CLUB Mrs. J.
