THURSDAY PAGE FOUR (Third Section? "1 THE WAYNES VILLE MOUNTAINEER Unspent War Funds To Be Allocated WASHINGTON The House Ap propriations Committee has recom mended the recapture of $7 122, 230,059 in unspent wartime funds and an allotment of $1,102,549,017 for the Agriculture Department. The latter fund is for the de partment's activities for the fiscal year starting July 1. Separate bills for these purposes were sent to the House floor for debate as soon as pending Housing legislation Is out of the way. The Army and Navy, largest war-time spenders, drew the big gest cutbacks in the cancellation measure. It would boost to ap proximately $62,000,000,000 the funds recaptured since war spend ing tapered off. Large part of the Agriculture Department fund consists of new borrowing authority from the RFC for rural rehabilitation loans and rural electrification loans, and $300,000,000 for payments to farm ers under conservation programs. The total was $50,715,623 below budget estimates and $74,253,851 over current year appropriations. tAFF-A-DAY .WITH THE COLUMNISTS "Quick. General yow km anybody important r? B. H.

J There. Is no reason for surprise. The facts have been fairly ob rtotia , or several months. Now we are face to face with the Blameful reality that, in Great Britain, rations are being cut to lives' eVen below the grim wartime diet, while we continue to go tiiwatione here In the full tide of plenty. ; " Foodallocated' to be set aside for Europe has simply not been forthcoming. The top officials in UNRRA have known this. But they have apparently been too timid to speak out. 1 .-. PUPPET RULERS Walter Lippmann ,rrwn oor point of view, the elements of the Middle Eastern prob lejm(are, 1 think, these: The region is. of the highest and most etUieal strategic importance; it is fabulously rich in oil; it is prs?dfd. over by a cluster of weak states inhabited by peoples who aiijsertbly poor and largely illiterate. natty states are so backward that, whatever the legal fiction, tlWir ii)f rs are now puppets, usually unruly puppets who play off olfcfcHifelre against another for their own advantage and aggran- :r;ci(;be no hope of peace in the Middle East, nothing but ojict nd Intrigue which will undermine the peace of the whole Ott. unless' the Big Three decide to look for a comprehensive l?fttMen Which deals with all the elements of the problem at FULfcPUBLICITY Sumner Welles -JPt' VaMrt Ntwns Organiiation affords world public opinion its VwtlVt Chance to demonstrate its capacity to promote the ptfl settleinent 0f international disputes. i1i1Ub-- ,ty 18 belng given t0 the sesslns of the Security CeWj.; , Well as to those of the General Assembly.

It Ifl difficult to understand the frame of mind of the well-known nwlandi,wonen more or less conspicuous In the fields of literature, Jayj;naU?m and radio entertainment who have lent the weight of ttyiiKnamei to the effort of the so-called Writers' Board (formerly, lt& plained. Writers' War Board) to destroy the United Nations Otfanltatloh and substitute a "true world government" with a world president and a world parliament elected by the voters and 1t authorltr hver all." ' tfetalid of the plan vary according to the imagination of the Individual, but the assumption seems to be that the voters will 6Ho6fle for the world parliament only the noblest and wisest men in Jill th -world, free from the faults and frailties of the delegates to&M' UNO. 4.

P'n ' national security, there are weaknesses "PflMftor Me4ahon'a bill for the domestic control of atomic ajjttgfr. -?Th bill seems to take almost for granted the creation of JjWT.ltern4tlonal safeguards against the use of atomic energy for ihUltary purposes.

All they need toido is call attention to what is happening in Congress and ' then wait lor the votes to be counted. AXIS LIVES ON Barnet Nover , Peron Is'now shrieking to high heaven that he is being unjustly victlmlxed. The Blue Book, he would have the Argentine people believe, is -a plot cooked up by Spruille Braden, former United States Ambassador to Argentina and now Assistant Secretary of State in charge of Latin American affairs, to intervene in Argen tina's domestic situation. Braden, says Peron, is trying to set up a puppet government at Buenos Aires. Hence the coming election is a choice between "Braden-and Peron. DUTCH OFFER Wm. Philip Shams The Dutch offer of sclf-rale to Indonesia is part of a much broader ptM to create a Netherlands commonwealth in four parts, autonomous In internal affairs but United, as are the British com monwealth, under a crown. The promise that "in our time'' the 60,000,000 people of Indonesia would have the right of self-determination was not extracted from a reluctant colonial power at the muzzle of rebel guns. Queen Wllhelmina gave the promise voluntarily nearly four years ago. REBUILDING EUROPE Eleanor Roosevelt Armies of occupation cannot take the place of a country's owrt civilian leaders. However, throughout Europe, many of the former leaders, both men and women, are now gone. That is why I think it will take some time before we see a real tackling of reconstruc tion problems by peoples who look out on ruined fields and crumbling towns.

C. Francis, chair man. Haywood County AAA com mittee, announced today. Under the program, Mr. Francis said, the milk rate that will be paid to North Carolina farmers for April is 90 cents per hundredweight for whole milk produced and sold and 17 cents per pound for butterfat. For the May-June period, the rates will be 59 cents per hundredweight for milk and 10 cents for butter fat. The AAA chairman pointed out that the payments will be subject to termination or revision in the event of any general increase in price ceilings for milk and its products. According to the Stabilization Director's announcement of Janu ary 29, the general level of re turns for milk producers will be maintained during 1946 at the 1945 level, either by subsidy payment of increase in price ceilings should the subsidy be eliminated. The Dairy Production Payment program was designed to make pay ments to farmers on the milk and butterfat they produce and sell to offset increased dairy production costs and to encourage a continued high rate of milk production. The program has been in opera tion since October, 1943, and over $6,000,000 has been paid to Tar Heel dairy farmers through local AAA county committees. Of this amount $113,929.58 has been paid to Haywood County farmers. Recreational Travel Bill Our annual prewar recreational travel bill amounted to six billion dollars, with motorists responsible fcr more than 80 per cent of the to tal. The hotel business normally re curves 28 cents of every travel dol lar spent and the present travel re pression logically will result, after the war, in the greatest Investment cf travel dollars in tha history of our country.
