Here's another guess: We're merely serving notice on the Rus sians that under the four-powei council agreement we have right, In Berlin and that we are going to insist that they be recognized. fHAT will that amount to? Well, here's a third guess: ' It will all depend on the size ol the stick we carry. Kj E ANWHILE, the dispatches I! report, we put on speed tc bolster air and sea defenses oi "the Dardanelles, now guarded by ,700,000 Turkish troops. The U. S. aircraft carrier Rendova is ready to leave San Francisco bay for Istanbul (Constantinople.) She will carry about 100 American warplanes. Two other carriers, similarly loaded, are expected to follow her. WATCH IT. Suppose Russia should do. . cldo to TAKE OVER the Dardan, olios straights, which lie far to the cast of the Stotlln.Adrlatic line. No one seriously doubts that militarily she could do It. Turkey Is tough, but small. Rus sia is big. We'r a long way off. Russia Is CLOSE. The point to watch is whether Russia Is willing to go that far. THERE is a new wrinkle in the I hot Italian election campaign. The Communist-led General Confederation of Labor in Italy threatens a general strike In pro test against the disappearance ol a Sicilian labor leader. The Com munists charge that "rightists" (anti-Commuulsts) have kidnap ped or killed him. Would n general strike help oi hurt the Communist cause In Italy? That question is hard to answer at this distance. The threat does Indicate the explosive character of the situation there. a m THE other day our House of I Representatives (probably go ing off at half-cock) voted three to one to invito Franco Spain In to the Euronean Recovery Plan President Truman and the State DeDartmcnt protested vigorously TJiev sav that any such inviting should be done by the 1(5 Euro pean nations Included In the plan that we have no business In- vltinu a cuest (especially a ques tionable one) Into somebody else's house. Thursday morning Senate and House members working on a compromise foreign aid bill agreed to drop Spain from the list of countries eligible for aid. ilfHAT is all the shooting about? fl It scorns to this writer, who tries to be realistic, that a lot of messv thinking Is Involved. It Is true enough that Franco Is no shining knight of democracy. Rut neither Is Stalin. Yet we wei romed him Into the fold because we thought he could help us lick Hitler. If we swallowed Stalin, because we wanted his help, why should we gag at Franco?

STANTON Anyone who thinks newspapers are in the excess profits class will be interested in recent surveys into publishing costs. The surveys cast light on the reason why several of tho nation's prominent papers have ceased publication in recent months, despite what is generally considered a period of high level prosperity. American newspapers, it is shown, are paying about 50 per cent more to meet costs of publication than in 1945 and costs are still rising. Newsprint, for instance, is 120 per cent costlier than In 1933 and there is not much prospect of any price decrease in the near future. There is, however, a gen eral belief that the price won't go much higher because Canadian manufacturers, from whom newspapers buy a major part of their newsprint, fear further price increases would result in larger manufacturing capacity in the United States, and Canada would thereby lose one of Its principal export markets. The Bureau of Advertising of the American Newspaper Publishers Association reports that member papers of that organization received more than $1 billion in advertising revenue during 1947. Editor & Publisher, a newspaper trade nagazine, says that small dailies gained 19.7 per cent in idvertising volume during the year, while metropolitan dailies gained 16.1 per cent. This, on the surface, appears .0 offer a handsome profit opportunity, but there is a catch .o all this fine business increase. The catch is that while idvertising revenue went up 50 per cent (which includes raises in advertising rates) increases in costs have more than equalled the rate of revenue gain. Wages and salaries represent one of the principal cost increase items, surveys showing that from each $10 spent by a newspaper in its publishing operation, from ?4 to $6 go into wages and salaries. All raw materials have increased in cost, so that the ex pense of composing rooms has increased about 69 per cent; photo-engraving departments, 63 per cent; press rooms, 4U per cent; stereotype departments, 71 per cent; editorial, 38 per cent; advertising, 48 per cent; circulation 35 per cent, according to Editor & Publisher surveys. So, while newspapers as a whole have enjoyed a consider able increase in business and in revenue, the profit margin has dropped behind in percentage. Newspapers generally have increased both advertising ana subscription rates, but increased revenue from these sources has failed to keep pace with advancing costs. Some publishers are predicting that the proverbial 5-cent metropolitan news paper, soon will go to six or seven cents. An item, not covered in tho survey, is the gamble news papers are taking in re-equipping their plants. During the period of depression newspapers could not afford new ma chinery. During the war press machinery was not being munufactufed. Consequently, newspapers quite generally have permitted production equipment to become badly run down. Manufacturers of presses, typesetting machines, stere otype equipment, etc., are many months, and even years, behind on orders. Millions of dollars worth of new machinery has been contracted. Newspapers in many localities are erect ing new buildings, buying new presses, replacing worn out equipment, etc., even while tho profit margin is shrinking, and while costs of materials steadily increase and new wage demands arc made. All this expansion might cause tho average reader to be lieve that newspapers arc making such a high rate of profit they can afford the buildings and machinery they arc buying to tho tune of millions of dollars. But the fact is that most of them were so badly deteriorated by the long period when machines and equipment were not procurable that they must either build up their plants or quit business, regardless of the debt incurred. It is. we believe, a rather comforting feeling to realize that publishers generally have sufficient confidence in the future to be willing to gamble that their investments will be profitable in the long run, when faced with the unfavor able prospects shown by current surveys. belh GondRo: WaNlelanrl, Jo Sinclair; tturma SurKeon. i;ordon S Seanravo.

Leaders of major farm organl zations said today they have been told by administration officials thev describe as "very reliable that Dodd will be named to suc ceed Clinton P. Anderson.

YES! taly Faces Test n Red Threat of General Strike ROME, April 2 W) Italy may be gripped by a general strike at the time of her April 18 elec-1 tion test between the communist led Italian general confederation of labor (CGIL), some 600,000,000 strong. CGIL President Dl Vittorlo, a Communist, said In Palermo, Sicily, the executive committee will call the strike April 8 unless police have found Placido Riz zotto, a missing Sicilian labor leader by that time. -. If there is a strike, it will last until the case is solved. Workers will quit for an hour the first day, two hours the second, three the third and so on. That would mean a 10-hour layoff the day befort Sunday election. The first day, public service employes un like others, would go out ouly a quarter of an hour. With , fresh political violence reported at many points and the left shouting accusations that the right is plotting an uprising for the eve of the elections, the gov ernment announced plans to parade troops In Rome bunday. The War Ministry said army, air, finance guard and police units would be reviewed by the defense minister to mark creation of an infantry division. Latest disorders in the politi cal campaign included one new twist -Palmiro Toeliatti. Italy's No. 1 Communist, was booed and hooted at Leece, in the south.
