Stephens Phone 596-J 'We'll be here TOMORROW to Back up what we say and do TO-Day!", 'Scare Buying' Shoves Retail Prices UpTo Highest Notche In 2 Years, Labor Bureau Says By MAX HALL WASHINGTON, July 24 .T The sharpest retail' price rises in two years were announced by the Bureau of Labor Statistics Saturday for the May 15-June IS period before the outbreak of the Korean War. ' The agency said prioes rose .9 per cent from mid-May to mid June, with food prices soaring 2.1 per cent over the figure for the previous 30 days. Meats, fruits and vegetables jumped the highest. The significance of this an-! I nounrement is that even before the Korean fighting broke out on June 25, prices were not only going up but were gathering speed in their ascent. The May-to-June increase topped the .8 percent rise reported last month a rise described then as "the greatest percentage increase during any month since July 1948. ' Since, tne fighting began, new and apparently bigger rises have occurred. President Truman has told Con gress he may have to ask for pow er to control prices. Rep. Sabath (D-Ill) said after a. visit to the White House that Mr. Truman is determined to seek that power "if he can't- get them to stop the in creases.'! , . The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) in giving out its regular 'consumers price index," furnish ed no figures on what has hap pened since June 15. On that tonic the announcement dryly said that everyone knows "additional advances in consum ers prices since mid-June will be reflected in the index for July 15." The new fiv--year labor contract between General Motors and the CIO Auto workers provides for wage changes every three months if the consumers price index has changed 'by certain amounts but the next change is not due until the July 15 index is ready. The workers are dead sure of some raise at that time. In Chicago, the American meat institute spoke a reassuring word. It said that although "panicky buy ing" had caused some meat prices to go up, the pressure has les sened and "the present price trend is downward. Liquor Industry Affected The "panicky buying' reported by the meat institute seems to be oing on in the liquor industry, too. At least six top distilling com panies disclosed that they are at locating order:, to their dealers, to keep any retailer from getting more than a just share. In New York, Brown - Forman distillers Corp."attributed the action to "ap parent hysterical buying," and urg ed "saneness' on the part of cus tomers. Buying of all kinds of things has been going on at a phenomenal rate. The Commerce department reported that retail sales in June outdid any other month in history allowing for seasonal factors that naturally bring up sales Christ mas time, for example. Total sales of $11,915,000,000 in June were 10 percent above June of last year, and fi percent above the peak of the 1948 boom, in August oi mat year. July seemed certain to set an. other record.

BY BRUCE BIOSSAT As Die war in Korea continues to go badly for our side, criticisms are bound to mount. People will be looking for scapegoats. Some will blame the administration, or particular parts of it like the State or defense departments. Others will jump on General MacArthur, or perhaps his field commanders. Painful questions will be asked. Why haven't our troons made a better showing? Why haven't theyl got more and Detler equipment to fight with? Where are the planes and ships we need to dispatch re inforcements tn buck up the out numbered Yank soldiers? Superficially, the answers may not seem difficult to find, and they may indeed point to weakness and failure in our government. Not alone in the Administration but in Congress as well. If the investigators and critics go back far enough, as they ought to do, they will find that, when' World War II ended we disbanded our huge army and navy with tre mendous speed. The war over, we allowed our soldiers to cast aside their weapons and go home. Into the world vacuum created by the swift dismantling of o u r military might moved the newly powerful Soviet Union. In the space of a few short years Russia was reaching out to draw within her orbit nations we had thought were safely free. When Czechoslovakia slid behind the Iron Curtain we became alarmed. Suddenly the call went out t o strengthen our defenses again. America's own military budgets were boosted, and soon we began voting money to help arm friendly nations we thought could share the job of standing off militant com munism. Yet never in the two years since the alarm was sounded have we grappled realistically with our de fense needs. Big as the U. S. de fense outlay has been, it hasn't been large enough to qualify as more than a token of our intent to resist. All these decisions, from the Phone i 00, Ask for "Classified" Double Rocket Soars For Miles LONG RANGE PROVING GROUND, COCOA, Fla., July 25 (P) A giant two-stage "bumper" rocket made the first successful horizontal test flight Monday in what was described as a preview of "push button" warfare. The huge guided missile thun dered into the air at 9:28 a.m. trailing fire and vapor. It slanted sharply towards the east and dis appeared behind high clouds. Col. Harold R. Turner, safety officer at this east coast proving ground, said the main part of the missile, a captured German V-2 rocket, soared up 51,000 feet (about nine and one-half miles). At that time it was 15 miles east of the launching point. Col. Turner said the 700-pound WAC corporal, a small rocket rid ing in the nose of the V-2, sep arated from the "mother rocket" and streaked eastward. At the moment of separation he said the rockets were traveling 2, 700 miles per hour horizontally. The V-2 reached a maximum al titude of 10 miles 83 seconds after ,the takeoff and then began to nose down toward the Atlantic. When the missile got down to 20.000 feet exactly 140 seconds after the start. Col. Turner pressed a buton and exploded the rocket. He said information on what hap pened to the little WAC corporal rocket after it left the V-2 was classified and could not be made public at this time. whirlwind disbanding of our World War II forces to the economies of 1949-50, can be ascribed either to the present administration or to the Congresses that have served since 1945. But are they' basically to blame? They made those choices not alone in accord with the world realities as they saw them: they acted in response to public opinion as they measured it. And the inescapable truth is that they did not keep a bigger defense establishment in being, or restore it once it had been broken up, be cause they did not believe public opinion would support sucn a pro gram. President Truman and his advisers and the nation's top con gressional leaders make a business of judging what the people will stand for. It was their considered view that a really adequate d e fense was not among those things. Perhaps these men should have shown the wisdom and courage to lead public opinion rather than he guided by it; but the politicians, generally do not take that course. They follow the people. It is the American people them selves who have dictated the pre sent state of our defenses. In the face of a clearly great menace from Russia, they have chosen to go on living comfortably, even luxuriously. They have wanted business as usual and life as usual. The price of complacency and softness is often high. We're paying it now oii the bloody battlefields in Korea. And we'll go on paying until we wake up to the kind of a fight we're in. Russia is playing for keeps, and we'd better learn to do the same.

P. V.

Ht estimated that half of these are directly engaged ui research. The efforts range all the way from development of hybrid corn, and more nutritious range grasses through proces.se' for better utili zation of timber resources and means for mass production of pen icillii. and rutin. Wsos Waste Utilized Many new wood products have been evolved from waste from the forest and wood lots. The breeding of disease resis tant plants has saved the sugar beet, cantaloupe and head-lettuce crops, among many. The commercial production of fruit would be an impossibility without insecticides produced by research. The boll weevil would have taken the cotton fields and the toll of grasshoppers, tree dis eases and forests pests would have been much greater but for the work of agricultural scientists. Research, also has increased yields of animal products, produc ed more profitable strains and pro tected farm animals from diseases.

No Publicity On Troop Movements Is Asked By Army WASHINGTON, (Pt To make things tougher for foreign agects, the army has asked that there be no future atate or national com pilations of national guard and re serve units being called to active duty. Maj. Gen. F. L. Parks, the army's chief information officer, asked wire services not to carry such stories and newspapers not to publish those already transmit ted. Such stories have been handled only after governors or national guard officials announced publicly the details of the mobilization or ders affecting their states. ' There is no legal restriction against preparing or publishing stories or troop movements. But the news services, newspapers and radio stations customarily accede to military requests when the mat ter of security is involved. The defense department on July IS announced that military officers would withhold information con cerning troop movements to the far Pacific. This is censorship at the source. Parks told a reporter a some what similar system is being fol lowed in connection with the guard and reserve units. He said governors are being asked to make future announcements only for the localities whose units are being called to duty. . was a passenger in an automobile drived by Leroy J.
