Such an innovation should also be of inter est to consumers everywhere because the government potato muddle has reached a point where, although there are some 50,000,000 bushels of surplus potatoes, the supply available to the average consumer leaves much to be desired in the matter of grading. e THE Maine plan, according to the Klamath Falls newspaper, promises to be the answer to the con sumer demand for better quality. Retailers, it is pointed out, have found that bins filled with potatoes graded under the new system are usually completely emptied at the end of the day while bins with pota toes graded under the old system usually contain a residue of cut, broken, sunburned, or small potatoes. A principal feature of the new arrangement is pro viding potatoes in even-running sizes that will be "done" together when baked or boiled e e a "NE of the mysteries of the potato price support program has been the lack of consideration for the ultimate consumer. The government has con tinued to stimulate potato production by purchasing me surplus, sucn stimulation resulting in some ou, 000,000 bushels above the country's needs last year. Yet according to culinary experts, the quality of po tatoes available at the stores has never been as good as one might expect considering the vast quantities raised. In other words, housewives wonder why, with a 50,000,000-bushel surplus bought and paid for with taxpayers' money, the portion of the crop which is directed into the consumer channels, is not more closely graded.

Deserter, Communist Denied By Robertson San Francisco, Feb. 7 (U.PJ J. R. Robertson, a co-defendant In the perjury-conspiracy trial of Harry Bridges, stuck by his de nial yesterday that he is either an army or navy deserter or a com munist. Prosecutor F. Joseph Dono hue painstakingly cross-examined the longshore union vice president on his previous mili tary experience and his earlier testimony in answer to a claim by a prosecution witness that Robertson attended communist party meetings in the 1930s. But the answers always were the same. Robertson insisted he legally bought his way out of both the army and navy, a p re World War II custom. As to the communist question, Roberson's answer was, "I do not now and I never have belonged to the communist party." Donohue brought up the ques tion of desertion Friday before the trial recessed for the weekend. Portland, Ore., Feb. 7 U.B E. W. Dixon, Seattle, was elected president of the Northwest Plas terers bureau at the close of an annual three-day convention, it was announced today. Bend, Ore., Feb. 7 j(U.R) Con struction has started on the $900 000 St. Charles hospital at the head of Minnesota avenue. fUt OST taxpayers are in favor of some assurance to the farmer that his crops will not be produced at a loss, especially in war time, but the continued heavy inducement to overproduction such as has been the policy in recent years, is as hard to understand as why such surplus should not be more closely cunea for the benefit of the consumer. E.C.F. Air Force Academy At least two eastern Oregon cities are listed as having a chance for the $300,000,000 national air academy which the government proposes to install some place in the country where strategic and other conditions are believed most ideal. The air academy would include fifty buildings located on approximately 9,000 acres and would be set up to train 2,500 to 5,000 students at a time. A LTHOUGH Bend has looked somewhat skepti- cally at the invitation to present its case, La Grande's chamber of commerce has launched a cam paign to raise $5,000 to support the city's bid. e e e e TT IS understood that approximately 195 possible sites in 34 states will be inspected by the Air Force survey teams. It is further understood that Bend s attitude may possibly be due to some extent to the fact that Can- gressman Jaul Kilday, a lexas democrat, had already announced that he has assurance from Air t orce oec- retary Symington that the Air Force's proposed air academy, when and if authorized, will be located at Randolph Field, Texas. It has also been surmised in some quarters that the Air Force hopes by holding out the possibility of the academy location, to secure the backing of the congressmen and chambers of commerce in many of the 34 states named as possible sites.

Feb. 7 (U.R) Chairman Brien MrMahon of tin- congressional atomic enercv committee, said todav that the British scientist now under ar rest as an atomic spy "has trans mitted hlRhly secret Information to the Soviet union." The Connecticut democrat made the flat statement about Dr. Klaus E. J. Fuchs after a se cret two-hour committee meetliiM with FBI director J. EdRar Hoov er and two of Hoover's top aides. McMahnn declined to name his sources or where or when the secrets were passed to the So viets. But he told reporters thnt he was making his statement "flatly." Asked whether Fuchs has made a confession, he said: "No comment. In fact, I can't comment." 70-Mile Wind Smashes Roof Of Roundhouse La Grnnde, Ore., Feb. 7 (U.R) A 70-mile gust smashed a section of the roof of the Union Pacific roundhouse here Saturday and damage was estimated unofficial ly at between J400U and S5000 William Cameron Miller, 41 mn ehlnlst. was struck on tha head by falling wreckage. persons had Jobs on January 14 compared with 58.556.0U0 a month earlier. Secretary of Commerce Charles Sawyer said the sizable Increase is to be expected be tween December and January because of "seasonal develop ments." He cnlled It "noteworthy that Industrial employment did not appear to be materially af fected." There were 991,000 more jobless workers on January 14 than on December 10. an increase which the bureau said "appears to be due primarily to the cur tailment In seasonal industries." Bad weather in many parts of the country also cut down con struction and farm employment. Un Jan. 8. 1H4B. 37.414.UUO persons were employed and 2.084,000 were jobless. Snwvpr nMssrl Hint n vnr nan unemployment increased sub stantially between December and January but that a big part of that increase came from non- seasonal cutbacks in production. The latest census bureau re port placed non-agricultural em ployment on January 14 at 90. .49,000 against 51,783,000 on December 10. Agricultural employment was estimated on January 14 at 6.198.000 compared with 6,773. 000 on December 10. A while ago I wrote about the management of small children and ran out of space before I really got into the subject. Even though it is a choice sub ject of discus sion for the pa tronizing par ents of several children, I do think that the only child in the family may easily be ad versely affect ed by his cir cumstances. If his p a r e n t s, however, are "on the ball," and alert to all the possibilities in volved, there need be little fear for the poor little geezer. It is obvious, of course, that the only child in a family does not have to compete for atten tion and favors from his parents. But wait a minute he may have to compete with one of his par ents for attention from the oth er. Perhaps it hadn't occurred to you, but Jealousy of a parent is common among the children of one child families. This is the source of so-called mother or father fixations" which only re cently was a choice topic of con versation In the cocktail set. If the mother is the "source of all blessings." and the father is the stern disciplinarian, then the father appears to be the chief source of the child's frustration. He stands between the child and his desires. The attention the mother accords the father is re sented by the child, who there upon enters into competition with the father for the mother's attentions and favors. This 'sit uation, if not recognized and checked, may lead to serious psy chological difficulties for the child. More often, perhaps, the par ents vie with each other for the child's favor. Under these cir cumstances, the child is indulged to an often ridiculous extent, and grows up with the conviction that the attention he receives is rightfully his and that he is mor ally entitled to similar atten tion from anyone playmates and all. His humiliation and con fusion which results from his ex periences with the indifferent and cruel outside world Imposes a heavy and miserable burden upon him. Indulgent or rather overly-indulgent parents are not above re course to corporal punishment at times. Often, after one of these episodes, the parent is so over come with the enormity of his of fense that he places himself in the position of apologizing to the child for Interfering with his wrong-doing. All of these things are calculated to inspire the child with a highly inflated opin ion of the Importance of himself and his desires. Under these cir cumstances the child becomes the boss of the family a miniature martinet. Entitled to sympathy rather than censure the child Is thus embarked upon a difficult mode of living. Such a child does not mind. He does not eat except when and what he likes. Of course he has never had to why should he change of his own accord? He is selfish and contemptuous of the rights and desires of others. And it is not his fault, the pool little tike, his parents trained him that way. And only bitter and cruel experience can change him, and his personality may suffer ac cordingly in the process, and car ry over, into his adult life. Both parents should be equal "bosses" in such a way that the child never regards the "boss" as does a buck private his corporal. The boss should guide, not lead the child. The boss should think ahead to remove temptation from the child. The boss should never permit the child to make a choice between right and wrong, as far as possible. He should arrange to not place such a choice before the child until the child is suffi ciently well trained to make the proper choice. And a child should never be punished for an unintentional mistake. He should be praised not re warded for his good efforts, and his bad conduct should be ignored as such but quiet steps should be taken to show him how much more he has to gain by proper conduct. A parent makes or breaks a child. QUESTIONS ft ANSWERS Intestinal Flu, Eh? Son. 8 years old. has been suffering from stomach cramps for the last nine or ten months.

Tydings of the senate armed services com mittee proposed today that President Truman call an inter national disarmament conference to strip all nations of weapons "all the way down to the rifle." Tydings Introduced a resolu tion to authorize and direct the president to call the conference. The Maryland democrat told his colleagues that his proposal is based on the belief that plans to control atomic weapons give only "illusory security. He said they are not enough "to save mankind from destruction." (Thousands of poms hiri been written In prais of woman with blue eyes or black . Hundreds about females with brown ayes. But th above if the only poem I know of inspired by a woman with grtan ys). Keeently 1 referred to a re port that in Tehuantepec, Mex ico there are five women to ev ery man, and that most of the women are beautiful. According to the same report, Tehuantepec is one of the cheapest places in the world to live. This report has been checked. It is 100 per cent correct. Dan Lamb, the wen known globetrotter, was in Te huantepec as recently as last September. Dan confirms the re port that the women are beaut). ful by forwarding a number of snapshots he took of the town's glamorous females. In addition to being beautiful," says Dan, the Tehuantepec girls are witty and fun loving, but undoubtedly due to the acute scarcity of males, most of them are lonely (Note This reporting of places where beautiful and lonely fe males-can be found is part of the regular service -offered to bache lor subscribers of our Horses & Women Department). Stogi Department It has been my claim the first handball court in the United States was built by Phil Casey in Brooklyn in 1822. In this claim I have had the support of none other than Frank Menke, editor of the New encyclopaedia of Sports. It looks as if Frank and I were stuck for the stogies. John Condon, of San Francisco, says there was a handball court in his city as early as 1872. In proof of this claim Mr. Condon offers in evidence from the San Francisco City Director of 1872, a listing as follows: "Sullivan's Handball Alley and Racquet Court." Please Not A traveler just returned from Paris says he understands that in the not far distant future the Duchess of Windsor will go into the dressmaking business in the French capital in partnership with the Duchess Gabriel de Romanov. The Duchess Romanov already has a dressmaking estab lishment in Paris. Singing Neighbors Do singers such as Dmah Shore, Jane Pickens, Lisa Kirk and Lucienne Bover ever nrac- ticc at home? Have you ever lived next door to a singer you en joyed hearing practice? I never get a break that way. I always get high-powered, shrieking so pranos with concert and operatic ambitions. Come to think of it, I did get one break in the matter of singing neighbors. Some years ago when living in Santa Monica, Calif., I had for neighbors some members of the Carlos Molinas rumba band. These fellows usually arrived home around three in the morning. They would then have supper. After that they would sing Spanish songs in soft-voiced fashion. I really enjoyed listening to them. Mules 8c Men The white dinner jacket, for summer and winter resort wear, seems a poor style to me. I have yet to see a man who really looked well attired. Why should men wear jackets on hot nights? Why can't some male apparel genius originate some summer evening altire that calls for a man wearing a snappy looking shirt but no coat. Passing By Sandra Deel. Comedienne and chanteuse.

From 344 North Ivy Street To their former location at 29 QUINCE STREET Voi Buying To the Editor: Our "true deal administration in Washington is offering to sell our 1B4B surplus spuds to foreigners for one cent per hundred pounds in 17-cent sacks, bought with taxpayers' money, to get the farmers' votes. In order to keep prices high for the same taxpayers millions of pounds of surplus butter, eggs, wneat, rye, hops, nuts, corn, soy beans, prunes, raisins, wool, pears and most all other com modities are offered all for the purpose of keeping prices sky high for the American public. Now this "true steal" is huvine lip surplus hams and bacon. By the way. I see the same bunch is offering to sell surplus raisins tor au a ton tor cow feed. That would be a luxury for us poor saps called Free Americans. Wit halmost 100.000 jobless workers in Oregon, some trying to exist on $18 to S25 per week unemployment compensation and many on public welfare, why not dump the surplus commodities to the half-starved citizens of our own country. That would create a demand on the open market among the Americans that still have a few inflated dol lars left. The taxpayers have already paid the bill. Why doesivt tne "true steal under Truman's leadership do something about the high prices of coffee? I suspect there is an Ethiopian in the woodpile there also. I can t understand how we can tax our citizens for about 17 years and go in the red billions every year and come out pros perous in a "true deal" fool's paradise. How I long for some ot tnose good old days when I ate T-bone steak, ham and real butter and cream. The rerjublicans didn t try to change the law of supply and demand in this country. How lone will it take us to wake up and quit voting our selves into a welfare state like Johnny Bull? May the Lord have mercy on us poor victims ot this Harry S. Truman deal. William E. fjrown.
