Sues For Two Billions Not many Americans know that the government has a suit , pending against some of the railroads to re cover $2,000,000,000 in so-called over charges on war-time freight rates. Meanwhile, the American Associa tion of Railroads has set up a fund for a nationwide radio' publicity pro gram to educate the public as to the industry s financial plight. Some experts say that passage of the Bulwinkle Bill by Congress will undercut the basis of the govern ment's suit and that it will also affect the suit brought by the State of Georgia in connection with freight charges in the southern area. Fixing It Up The columnists "and commentators, the publicists and propaganda boys and many other experts are now busy telling us who will be included in the Dewey cabinet, if the New Yorker be comes the next President, This is an interesting pastime, no doubt, but the probability is that be fore next January, not less than 1,000 individuals will be "prominently men tioned" for the cabinet posts, regard less of the outcome of the next elec tion. This being the case, we. suggest that the reader restrain his impatience and save some time by avoiding the plugs that the newspapers, magazines end radio stations will put before the pub lic in the interest of their friends and those they might admire. Berlin, it should be thoroughly un derstood by Americans that the situ ation is dangerous and that it may develop into warfare. Nevertheless, there is hardly anything that the United States can do to avoid a con flict unless it is willing to abjectly surrender all rights and tacitly agree to Russian domination of Europe re gardless of international agreements. Turkey Production Declines In State North Carolina turkey growers are reducing their production this year, but not as much so as growers in other States, reports Lee W. Herrick, Jr., Extension turkey specialist at State College. This year's estimated production in the Tar Heel is 360,000 birds, a decline of about 5 per cent from last year. In the nation as a whole, a de cline of about 20 per cent is an ticipated. Herrick cited the high cost of feed as the chief reason for the reduction in turkey growing. Many of the growers who are reducing their flocks plan to re-enter the business as soon as feed prices decline, he said. "Many small producers," he re ported, "are reducing the size of their flocks or discontinuing entirely while many of the large growers are either holding or increasing the size of their flocks." The State now has 400 growers who raise 100 or more turkeys each year, and 46 counties in the State have one of more -producers raising as many as 100 birds each. Six North Carolina counties pro duce over 10,000 birds each. They are Duplin, Anson, Union, Pamlico, Moore and Buncombe. The following six counties produce between 5,000 and 10,000 each year: Chatham, Gas ton, Iredell, Sampson, Cabarrus and Lincoln. Herrick said that the number of turkeys grown in the nation last year was 34,667,000. Avoid Sun Stroke And Heat Exhaustion!

The Council unanimously decided that the Mayor, the City Manager, members of the City Council and other city officials should wear sport shirts to set a precedent, in the hope that other business men would follow their example. While it is obvious that no resolu tion can do anything about the t-h ...UU r f f 1 1 anything about their clothes and com fort during the hot weather of the summer. The motion passed by the Wilming ton Council will probably receive con siderable, publicity, but when the printing fades, the vast majority of the men in the South, and in the other sections of the nation, as well, will insist upon wearing coats in the midst of heat waves. If they do, they deserve the discomfort they endure and there is no use giving them any . 7 ar Possible In Europe There is talk of the use of force bv the Western nations in an effort to crash through the Russian blockade tit RfVrlllt Urifll on cn unucitUVCt OX U- 4vv 'tiul nai aiiu - - --- viii t IQOUC arms.

To stop the aerial shuttle, however, will re quire an offensive move by the Rus sian Air Force, just as it will require the use of offensive force to break the land blockade.

Be on the guard against heat sickness and take the necessary pre cautions this summer to avoid over exposure to the sun or prolonged physical exertion in extreme heat f Heat exhaustion and sun stroke are two entirely different things, eyen - - though both may seem to result from exposure to high external heat. With heat exhaustion, the patient's skin is cold and clammy while with sun stroke, the skin is hot and dry. A simple rule may serve as a guide and avoid confusion regarding the treat ment. Briefly, it is this: If the pa tient is cold, make him warm; if he is hot, make him cool. You can protect yourself against heat sickness by following these Na tional Safety Council recommenda tions: ' Avoid over-exertion, particularly in the early part of the heat wave. Avoid too much exposure to direct sun rays, or extreme indoor tempera tures and high humidity wear a hat while out of doors. Wear light, porous clothing and avoid tight fitting clothes. Increase the use of salt on food, or use salt tablets or salt in drinking water to offset the excessive loss of salt from the body through perspira tion. Drink water often throughout the day, one glass at a time. Eat nutritious food but avoid over eating vitamin C lost through per spiration should be replaced with fruit juices Get plenty of sleep and bathe reg ularly. Avoid ice cold water and alcohol.

Under the law, the President must submit proposed changes to, the Tar iff Commission, which will hold hear ings and report "peril points". - The President cannot complete any pact until the Commission reports that it was given four months for study and inquiry. Wiile the President can dis regard the recommendation of the Commission, he must notify Congress within thirty days and explain the reasons for his action. The Commis sion' would . also send its report to Congress. ' This means, apparently, that if the President reduces any duty in con sideration of similar; concessions by other countries, and the .Tariff Com mission disapproves of such reduc tion, there will be a contest in Con gress. The likelihood is that Con gress will project itself into the sit uation and possibly make 'protection the key element in its consideration. This is the view of William L. Clay ton, special adviser to the State Department Exports Without Imports Deplete American Resources Secretary of Defense James V.

War is a destructive pro cess and successful military opera tions in this era demand vast sup plies of raw materials. . i ' I The "United States, in connection with its efforts to assist the world. j should not hesitate to accept goods and products of other nations, in an effort to maintain-the raw material resources of this country. It. might be a good idea for some public-spirited agency to keep a balance of ex-' ports and imports, not lit the terms' of dollars but in the terms of actual goods shipped out of this country when compared with actual goods re ceived. Such a balance would show that the United States is running a terrific deficit in sending vast stores of ma terials, goods and products to other countries.
