' x Spilling milk, plowing under fields, of grain, killing little pigs, allowing mountains of po tatoes to rot these too-familiar instances of waste of food in (the land of plenty while people are starving elsewhere always evoke on. emo tional 1 response of anger sullen resentment, horror almost. But the dumpers of apples, like the spillers of milk, have a case, and the Hood River News explains it like this: ; . ", It has been a difficult season too much rain. The apples were harvested three weeks late and that meant a loss of equivalent selling s i : days. The rain upon the fruit; ucts: vinegar, and canned apples and the like. But the facul ties for by-product ore inadequate for the size of the crop, so- many imperfect apples were dumped.. - r T '-:'C ' Unsatisfactory market conditions were an other headache for the applegroyrer". says the News. There is a lack of access to foreign mar kets and many- small-sized varieties of apples, suitable for export, were dumped. ! " In order to prevent spoilage of fruit packed in boxes, the growers had to re-sort the apples, and this extra, cost added to the .total cost of production meant that some growers could hot afford to market their fruit, especially because the late season brought unseasonal competition by other .fruits. So they buried the apples. " So that northwest? apples more expensive because of the growing freight rate differential can compete with regional produce in eastern markets,; northwest packers send out only the very finest quality; fruit. Closer grading natur ally results in more cull fruit-more fruit to be destroyed. f i ' : : This summary J of the apple industry's troubles leading up to the dumping of Yakima valley apples is' no apology: in behalf of the industry;;' the News adds. It Is the old story of the natural vagaries that beset the farmer, and of the man-made problems of distribution that drive him to distraction and destruction. Even when people understand It; it leaves them feel ing angry ' and frustrated, and apple-hungry. That's why they call it a crirninal Waste, a grievous. sin. j' ii- V-.-- U -" .- -;- r .1 ' Ever since the story of finding a bell at Kamela in the Blue mountains which evidently had grown up with a pine tree where it tinkled mystifyingly until the tree was felled, bells of similar kind and make have been tinkling all over the state.

Bunding ; the defense f estab lishment squarely around the air force; increasing the already vast defense budget by such :hug further ; stuns these are serious, steps to take.' Onj any realistic appraisal of the world situation, however, there is no alternative to taking these steps, except to take unf orgiveable risks with .the American future. I The reasons why a greatly expanded air force is needed at this time are, in fact quite unanswerable. First,; the air defense of tha continental United States is rapidly ; becoming a large and larger job. The Soviet atomic bomb stock Is increasing icontin ally, i : which means that the Kremlin is getting nearer and nearer to the point where the war planners : in - Moscow can hope to deliver a crippling blow against this country. The exist ing Soviet strategic air force, of imitation B-29s, is expanding. And all the recent air show in Moscow; the Soviets displayed a truly long-range heavy bomber of B-36 type, which air intelli gence credits with ' a 5,000 mile striking ' radius.' .N j -. I - f i ' - -r ; 'y-f-U'- 'r: Since ; the smaller and less costly; Soviet heavy bomber can efficiently; hit targets . anywhere except in this hemisphere, the - production of this huge, ; very long-range bomber can have only- one , purpose' to attack this country Moreover, it is the So viet, practice never to display new aircraft types until i they are ready for actual production. Which means that this new- So viet very-long range bomber is already going to combat units. . Second, the threat of the So viet strategic air- force, to our allies and to us, also increase the requirement for the Ameri- nn tratffii : air f arr Ii , m originally designed .solely to de- j stroy the industrial vitais or tne t Russian war machine.; Its first j priority must now be the de- struction of Soviet strategic air. ; i ; - - Grievous sin! Such was the also had a; deteriorating effect j rot set in while apples Wert juice, apple j butter, cider; dried U. S. Air Force This is an Immense task in it self.4 Furthermore, it is essential for the destruction of the Soviet industrial vitals to go forward concurrently; otherwise the de fense will learn from experience' to take the measure of the of fense. Thus, in effect, the Ameri can strategic air force must now be . built big enough to do two Jobs at once. ; f e 1 i Third, the importance "of tac tical air in ground war is now so great that Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower's staff has evolved a rule of the thumb "The fewer SSrSPK-Sirff f ense of Western Europe, it is necessary for Gen. Eisenhower ! to have a tactical air force ready at all times for combaL which will be-capable of dominating the very large Soviet tactical air force from the moment when the first shot Is fired. For this pur pose alone, it may be necessary to double the present require ment ' for American tactical air power. ' ri i- : Nor are these requirements, and the Soviet air threat that begets them, mere dreams of air propagandists.: The : new Soviet' bomber of B-36 type is not the. ten engine jet that has been wildly reported. It Is a huge, four engine plane, of fairly con ventional design. But It exists, has been photographed, and by the magic of the intelligent an alysts has been shown to have " approximately the characteris tics given above. -J j ; . . . '; "' ; . Equally, the air' force actually,, has in its hands a MIG-15 en- , gine. and has more than ruefully examined the" decidedly superior high temperature alloys and re-"" i markably skiCIul welding that j make this the best jet engine now j la production.

The 1949 law sets a schedule for filial support, but in a - majority of ' cases that is not-adequate to take the aged parent off the assistance- m . m , rous. Moreover noes noi reacn sons-in-law. (The ' sugegstion is offered that instead of publish ing names of aged pensioners it might -be a abetter exposure to publicize names, of well-to-do relatives and in-laws who ' let their kinfolk go on welfare).' To be sure some 'elderly folk rush. down at age 65 to get on the welfare rolls. They are eager to get whafs coming to them,' and. do not scruple to arrange things so they can qualify. Oth ers, probably a majority, resort to the welfare office only as a last resort. They just aren't able to make ends meet. They, are proud folk, - who ' have worked hard through life, but the "breaks have gone against them. Death of helpmates, prolonged Illness, loss of employment or of savings, failure in business or farming or just the diminishing value of the dollars they had set aside these are causes which impel them, reluctantly, to ap peal for public assistance. Should n a m e s - of these be posted on bulletin boards, or printed in public prints? To most people,' who have been independ ent .and self-supporting in life, asking for public assistance - is in itself humiliating. Should they suffer-more humiliation through periodic' public exposure? When one looks at the aggre gate cost of the welfare pro grams he is shocked at their size. The costs keep mounting, with no end in sight. But those who dispense these funds, who figure out the grants in individual cases, usually are conscious of how tight the budget allowance is per . person or per family.

There are writers who special ize In . concocting unusual and intricate, plots Which hold in terest by the very reason of their extraordinary construction. There are others who, like War ren Beck, deal mostly although not always with ordinary sit uations, yet are able to bold in terest because of their easy man , ner a.il or - presentation - and their ability to portray haman emo tions with a degree of subtlety. Beck's "The Far Whitle" is a collection of short stories han dled with a smoothness that has characterized his previous works. The story , which gives the book its title is the simple tale of an old farmer whose lifetime dream of being at the throttle of a rail- .road steam engine is finally real ized when he gets a job as the en gineer of an amusment park miniature railroad. Beck's de scription -Of how the old man went about his job with grim concentration, and of' how the writer and his son ferreted out the story of the engineer's back ground, must be ranked, high in literary artistry. . It ia the kind of tender writing : seemingly .about nothing Important, that leaves one with a warm feeling.; i 'The character studies in The Edge of Doom" are. handled with such sensitivity . that it is not difficult to understand why this story was selected for use in limited funds available for meet ing the need. .
