We were Im pressed by their devotion to their country and their willingness to make ANY needed sacrifice for i It. And in those scrambled first ; weeks after the shooting ended we LIKED them when we tame : face to face with them. According to our standards, : they were a crude lot, to be sure, but In an Intangible, Indefinable way they HAD SOMETHING. ; We're still not so old and de cadent and falsely polished as to have forsotten that our trappers and Indian fighters who won the . West might not have been re garded as impeccable In a London Dr Paris drawing room. IT is one of the great tragedies I of hiBtory that this original and ? GENUINE exchange of good will . (for those who saw It will bear witness that the Russians rather liked US, too) has been permitted to deteriorate to its present Etatus. No one In full possession of his senses can believe that America has been solely responsible for the deterioration. We have dono our best to be friends, but we have been SNUBBED. The snubbing has come from the upper brackets In Russia. BUT let's get on with the news which 1s mixed, as usual. China's civil. war flames anew In the dispatches. Despite the fact that every common, plug China man wants peace more than he wants anything else on earth, the armies of both factions are mov ing up to new battle positions. It is another stark tragedy. . CROWN PRINCESS JULIANA of The Netherlands is preg nant again, and the Dutch are re ported to be all twittered up with hope that this time it will he a boy. (Three times In a row they have been In a flutter, and each time It has been a girl.) - MONARCHY is a curious Institu tion, whose roots reach far back Into the fundamentals of human nature. It seems to be ele mental to want a KING If you're to have a RULER. ' Yet history tells us very plainly Indeed that SELDOM have queens soaked the earth In the blood that flows from wars of conquest and aggression, whereas OFTEN that has been the fruit of KINGship. In fact, It Isn't too far from historical truth to assert that EVERY king who has got too much power into his hands lias turned to attempted world con quest. MOTE, please, that all these "fuehrers" and "duces" and "el caudillos" and whatever it may be that the Russians call tlielr Communist Hig Wampum have been MEN -not women. Note also that In the !( years since a KING sat on their throne the Dutch have been peaceful and Industrious and (when their crazy neighbors would let them) reasonably happy. SPEAKING of women, Dr. Hope T. Eldredge, analysis expert of the U. S. Census Bureau, an nounces that the prevalent notion that the war left us with a scar- THE PRODUCTION OUTLOOK By CHARLES V. STANTON Many-persons apparently find it difficult to reconcile statements that production is at an all-time high with their lirsthand knowledge of current shortages in nearly all lines of manufactured goods. Production statistics show that industry is turning out merchandise in unprecedented quan tities. Unemployment is exceedingly low. Yet we cannot find materials with which to build homes. We cannot obtain many types of clothing. . Household furnishings and all types of appliances are in short supply. And we are told that no relief is in prospect for many months. We are told that production is being retarded while, at the same time, statistics show more production tha.n ever before. Cut these apparently contradictory factors are easily recon ciled when the great world-wide need for consumer goods is analyzed. The lumber industry, with which we .are most familiar in this area, is a good example. Because wage controls placed the industry at a disadvantage in competing for labor, men skilled, in woods and mill work went into other, better paid lines of work. Unrealistic pricing and controls on output places limitations on production. Despite the great demand for lumber, production in the Pacific Northwest has been dropping sharply. But our need for homes is not a new thing. The fact that we have a nationwide emergency in the home and commercial building field results from the fact that people now have money with which to build and are making up for more than 20 years of non-building. Construction dropped to an exceedingly low level during the depression years. About the only building of any im portance was that financed by the federal government in the form of public works,. People had no money with which to build homes. Neither could they buy electric ranges, refrigerators, household furnishings, or more than a limited supply of clothing. During the entire period of depression our market lor consumer goods was at a bare existence level. During the war period, production was turned to materials of war. People accumulated money but, as con sumer goods were not being produced, they could not build homes, replace worn-out furniture, expand the family ward robe, etc. Only a few years ago the "Okies" and the "Arkies" were symbols of abject poverty. But today those same people are well employed and many are making more money in a month than they were able to obtain in a year during the hard times era. The laboring class, in general, has advanced its standard of living many degrees, a condition wo hope will be permanent Thousands upon thousands of people, who for many years used boxes for furniture and slept on homemade beds, are customers today for davenports, fancy bedroom suites, quality mattresses and the best of house hold appliances. Thus our market for consumer goods has been vastly multiplied, in addition to the increased demand resulting from years of shortages. A largtt portion of our current production is going into exports, but there is one form of export which rccefves little mention. The United States has in the neighborhood, of twelve million foreign-born residents. These people have relatives in war-torn homelands. Adding to our direct exports are the millions of packages of food, clothing and supplies being shipped by individual residents to their kin abroad. Many other factors enter into the present day market for consumer goods, but it is quite evident that tho current demand is so great that production must be stepped up to heights far above present record levels before we can feel any relief from short supply. This desired expansion cannot be attained as quickly as it should be so long as bureaucratic interference is permitted to continue. city of single males is all moon shine. The latest statistics, she says, show that In the marriageable auc croups there are MORE single men than single women. She then adds (in case you are worried) that right now there are at least a MILLION AND A HALF single, eligible males In these United States of America. The hunting, you see, is still good -war or no war. 1 8 Men Required to Take 721 -Lb. Gent to Hospital P1TTSBUUGH, Aug. 20. (li lt took 18 men to complete the task of moving John Porter of DaiiDhln. Pa., to Allegheny gen eral hospital last night alter he became suddenly III on a irain. Porter, 54, weighs 721 pounds and has been playing the role of the "(at man" in circuses for years. He suffered a recurrence of a heart attack which forced him to return last weekend from the midwest,, where he was appear ing wlth'a circus. At Union sta tion here, nine men removed him from train to ambulance, and at the hospital nine employes car ried him to the elevator. As one bed wasn't big enough, hospital attendants fastened two together (o accommodate ins bulk. He was reported resting comfortably today. . FOR COOD HEALTH!

Wh-The International Fishermen and Al lied Workers of America (CIO) in a statement yesterday demand ed that the OPA remedy what it termed "a hodge podge" of price controls In the salmon fishing in dustry. "From Seattle to San Frf.n clsco," it stated, "salmon fisher men are forced to sell their catches under a hodge podge of ceilings which can be described only as a stabilization monstros ity. "Depending on the port of land-, ing, a half dozen different prices apply to a single type of salmon. Neither the OPA, the fishermen nor tho consuming public can make head or tail of these ceil ings. They are devoid of honesty, common sense and workability. "Fishermen accepted this intol. erable setup during the war as a necessary sacrifice. Since VJ Day, every effort has Deen exerted to bring this price control tangle down to earth. The merit of the fishermens case has been con stantly recognized, but a solution just as constantly delayed." It asserted that "organized fishermen will be compelled to dis associate themselves from all existing salmon ceilings and use every possible means to obtain substantial price increases, unless OPA takes the following steps within 10 days: "Rolls back the prices of all items of cost, Involved in salmon fishing, to their 1942 maximums; "Gives an unequivocal answer that consumer ceilings will be maintained on fresh, frozen and canned salmon for the duration of the price-control law; "Provides for upward adjust ment in the producer prices, to compensate for reduced catches; "Removes tho Inequities and absurdities from salmon sched ules applying to fishermen."

UP) Chairman Carroll Reece of the Republican National Committee told a Negro audience yesterday "the nation can not continue to exist one-half free and one-half liilbo." In an address to the Order of Elks, Reece declared that when Negroes voted Democratic in re cent years they ''have not been looking out for their own inter ests." "There are still parts of this nation In which outrageous dis crimination is practiced," he said. "They are not those parts of the country in which the Republican party controls the machinery of government." ' fhe Democratic party as now constituted, Reece continued, "will not make any serious al tempt to abolish racial persecutions and abuses in our southern stales. H will not do so, and it can not do so. It can not do so because it must depend upon the votes of that bloc of states dominated by ihc un-American one-party sys tem, to elect its candidates for federal office. "It will not do so because so long as that Southern bloc per sists in- its present form it will exercise veto power over any policy directed for the correc tion of these outrageous abuses. "I am stating but the plain facts of history when I say that every bit of permanent legislation ever enacted for the projection of members of the colored race have been enacted under Repub lican auspices."

UB Hope that at least one crew mem ber oi a shot-down American transport plane might still be found alive was abandoned today by U. S. Graves resignation com mission officers who said suffi cient evidence had been found to indicate that all five crewmen had died in the crash. The finding of four left feet and part of another left foot con vinced them, the officers said, that the five men perished when their plane was shot down on Aug. 19 by two Yugoslav pursuit craft near Bled, in northwest Yugoslavia close to the Austrian frontier. The report was made after the commission had re-examined the scene of the wreckage and a com mon grave in the Holy Cross Church cemetery in the village of Koprivnik. Meanwhile the remains of the fliers lay in caskets in prepara tion for the journey to their ulti mate resting place in the United States. Good News for Maids: Supply of Males Ample WASHINGTON, Aug. 26.-4P) -Census figures showed uo today as so much romantic sabotage those reports that the war left a scarce supply otf single males. On the contrary the gals have an ed?e in the marriace odds. The statistics show that in the marriageable age groups there are more single men than single women. "There still are more than enough men to go around," Dr. Hope T. Eldridge, census bureau analysis expert, told a reporter. Right now she figures there are 1,500,000 or more single, eugioip males. Russian Traitors Flee ' To Dodge Home Action FRANKFURT, Germany, Aug. 26.
