Chang in Weather
Affects Disposition
The real thought which I have
in mind is to emphasize the im
portance of watching the daily
U. S. weather maps as they ap
pear in most city newspapers.
My reason, however, is not to
know per se if it is to rain or be
fair, if it is to be colder or warm
er; but how the change is to af
fect the behavior, disposition,
judgment and courage of you
and me. Upon these things our
happiness and business success
largely depends.
The first step is to learn how
to interpret this weather map.
The newspaper tells you what
the weather will probably be to
morrow. But when making plans
for advertising, business inter
views, committee meetings etc.,
we should know what weather
conditions to expect a few days
ahead. This we can usually do
by studying the weather map.
Certainly, every child in school
should be taught how to fore
cast the weather from this daily
weather map.
Rising Barometer
Provides Favorable Answer
In my own life I use the
weather forecasts as follows:
Rule 1: If I want someone to
tnke a favorable attitude or to
answer "yes" on some project, I
wait for a cool and clear day
with a rising barometer. (I have
a barometer over my desk be
side my clock). I always can get
better results by so waiting.
Rule 2: If someone wants to call
noon me whom I do not care
much about seeing, I make a
nine w. ion tne day probably will
be cloudy or muggy with a fall
ing barometer. I have two rea
sons for this (a) Because the per
son then may not have the en
ergy to call; and (b) Because it
will be much easier for me to
say "no" when the barometer is
falling and 1 don't feel well.
Looking back on myjife it seems
ns if 90 per cent of my mistakes
were due to my not having the
guts so say "no" and stick to it.
Weather Major Factor
In Starting Marital Rows

and I celebrated our golden wed

married 50 years have had
rows. But when last week
discussing our experience, it was
evident that every serious "flair
up" started accidentally over
some very insignificant and un
expected word. With my present
knowledge of weather psychol
ogy, I believe that the weather
was an important factor in start
ing most of those unhappy days.
Hence, my rule 3 is to "watch
my step during such cloudy or
muggy days" and keep away from
other people as much as I can,
remembering that the weather
is making them "touchy" or a
little ugly as well as it is affect
ing me unfavorably.
Rule 4: Mnally, 1 no longer
telephone the doctor when mem
bers of my family have pains or
think they are sick without first
looking at the barometer. If
there has been a sudden weath'
er change, I say: L-neer up,
You'll be O. K. tomorrow. To
day's aches and depression are
due to a changing weather con
dition." This forecast is usually
correct and all the family are
neain feeling fine in a day or so,
This barometer pays for itself

Philippines Starts
To Destroy Communist-Led Huks
Bv Ralph Teatsorth
United Press Correspondent
Manila U.R) The Philippine
government has opened a new
military campaign against the
Hukbalahap in a determined ef
fort to bring internal peace to
this republic by the end of 19oO.
1 he Philippine constabulary is
engaged in a shooting war on
series of fronts almost 1,000
miles long from north to south
against all kinds of outlaws and
malcontents. The communist-led
Hukbalahap, however, symbol
izes all internal enemies of the
government.
The Huk is a wily antagonist
He looks like any other Filipino
peasant or laborer. He wears no
uniform. He carries a weapon
sometimes, but a pistol is easy
to conceal. He strikes swiftly,
jlly at night, and can pick his
spots.
He can hide with small bands
of his organization in the moun
tains or the swamps. He can dis-
Kerse quickly and lie low at
ome until danger is past.
Four Years Of Fighting
I he constabulary, whose lob it
is to keep peace and order in the
country, "has been fighting the
Huks for almost four years.
Well-eauipped government
troops have killed hundreds or
Huks and undoubtedly have kept
them from concentrating and
building up into a force that
could overthrow the govern
ment.
Official reports and intelli
gence say this is the ultimate
aim of the Hukbalahap: to over
throw the government by force
and set up their own regime.
The same reports have called the
Hukbalahap a communist front
Air Force Receives
'Flying Classroom'
Washington. Apr. 7 (U.R)
The air force said today it has
received the second of 30 "fly
ing classroom" plnncs ordered
with fiscal 1949 funds.
The plane, a Consolidated
Vultce T-29. can be used for
simultaneous-flight training of
14 student navigators. The air
force said it arrived at Ellington
air force base, Houston, after a
flight from San Diego.
The air force first announced
that it had received the first
"flying classroom." and later
corrected itself.
Temperatures Skid
In Northern Plains
Chicago, Apr. 7 (UP.) Tem
peratures dropped to almost
freezing on the northern plains
today and forecasters said it
would slow the run-off of melt
ing snow which caused floods in
Minnesota and the Dakotas.
The chill wave pushed tem
peratures down from near-record
heights. The mercury climbed to
B9 degrees yesterday at Phillips,
S. D., one degree warmer than
the day's high at Miami. Fin.
Northerly winds along the
east coast also held temperatures
to unseasonable levels.

organization in which a few com

promising them power and

The head of the Huks is Luis
M. Taruc, a 37-year-old wisp of
a man who says he is a com
munist. His vocabulary is that
of a Moscow red "imperialist,"
"war monger," "people's democ

Taruc, who used to send press

strangely s il e n t for several
months. His silence has caused
speculation. Some think he was
killed in last year s constabulary
anti-Huk campaign, a fact the
Huks might try to conceal.
Some believe he is lust lying
low to avoid capture while plan
ning and directing Huk strategy.
Ken. cornciio i. viliarcal.
chairman of the congressional
committee on un-Filipino activi
ties, has still another idea about
Taruc. He thinks Taruc has left
the Philippines, perhaps to con
sort with the communists in
China or elsewhere. There is no
confirmation of his theory.
Fought Japanese
The Hukbalahap. according to
government officials, was form
ed in the early part of World
War II, when the communist
party went underground.
The Huks fought the Japanese.
The full name of their organiza
tion, Hukbo ng Baynn La ban sa
Hapon, means "The People's
Army Against Japan."
The Huks are closelv affiliated
with the Peasants' union, or Na
tionalist Society of Peasants,
from the Tagalog "Pambansang
Kaisahan ng mgr Magubukid."

lUtah Plan Will
Combine Airports
And Farm Fields
Salt Lake City (U.R) The
new state director of aeronautics
for Utah. Delbert Fuhnman,
brought into office with him a
love for the soil and the blue
skies.
Now, he has a novel plan to
combine those loves all over the
nation and make them pay.
He recommends that airport
operators, private or goyern
mental, utilize the ground
around their landing strips to
grow crops for profit or, at least,
erosion control.
Fuhriman realizes that many
airport developments embrace
many acres of land, often rich
farming land.
Most of the time, the area
around the paved or graveled
runways goes to waste, "breed
ing dust, weeds and mosquitoes."
Sees Good Yield
Planted to erain. alfala, le
gumes or grass, Fuhriman him
self the owner and operator oi
two farms in Northern Utah
feels certain "that many airports
have good enough soil to get as
much as S200-an-acre crops.
One small private field at
Bountiful, north of Salt Lake
City, already has farmed its ex
tra airport land and its opera
tor, H. J. Stevenson, advised
Fuhriman that the return has
been excellent. A similar project
is being started this year oy
Provo, Utah's third largest city,
for its big new field.
Flying Since 194S
Fuhriman, 40, has been flying,
most of the time in his own two-
place Cessna, since 1945 and is
one of the western leaders of the
Flying Farmers organization
He became interested in aero
nautics when he was a boy on
the family farm in southern
Idaho.
"Lindbergh flew the ocean
about the time we got our first
tractor." he recalls. It wasn i
hard for us kids to imagine,
while driving that tractor around
the fields, like Lindy, we were
flying the ocean."
Has Own Farms
He lives on a 90-acre farm ir
rigated tract near Tremonton,
Utah. Forty miles to the north,
near the-Idaho border, he has a
1,000-acre dry wheat farm.
By auto or truck, it took Fuh
riman an hour in good weather,
or 10 hours in rain or snow, to
drk'e over the dirt roads be
tween his places. After he learn
ed to fly, he made the hop by
plane in 20 minutes. As state
aeronautics director, he works in
Salt Lake City but still lives in
Tremonton, commuting the 60
miles daily by air.
His wife, Elna, also enjoys fly
ing. So do his seven children.
"But," he smiles, "we need a
DC3 if we were all to fly at the
same time. The kids would want
to take their horses along."

MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE
Tokyo Publication
Thinks U. 5. Bases
Belong Elsewhere
Tokyo (U.R) Japan wants the
United States to build its mili
tary bases elsewhere than on the
Japanese islands, the weekly
magazine Oriental ' Economist
suggests.
The periodical did not name
the United States but the edito
rial was carried after a series of
newspaper reports had been pub
lished indicating that the United
States plans to retain its air bases
in Japan and develop its naval
base at Yokosuka.
Japan wants to stay out of a
third world war, the economic
weekly said. If neutrality would
not assure Japan of her security,
only then would the Japanese
want pacts involving the estab
lishment of bases in Japan by a
foreign power.
Would Avoid War
"In all honesty, nothing could
be more desirable td us than
avoidance of a third world war,"
the Oriental Economust said. "If
unfortunately such a major con
flict should aeain rise, we should
like to remain absolutely neutral.
"Therefore, if foreign military
bases must be built, let them be
on Okinawa or on the Bonin
islands."
The magazine admitted, how
ever, that Japan would find it
difficult to maintain her neu
trality in the event of another
world conflict. It said that in
such a case, "there is no course
but to resort to military assist
ance pacts involving the furnish
ing of strategic bases and other
problems."
Avoiding discussion of Japan's
mflitary value, the Oriental
Economist said Japan's Dolitical
and economic value was consid
erable. It pointed to news reports
that the American version of
Japanese neutrality is that Japan
remain outside the Soviet sphere
of influence and the Russian ver
sion is that American influence
be excluded from Japan.

ESCAPEES SOUGHT ..
Salem, Ore., Apr. 7 (U.R)
Four barefoot boys escaped from
the detention ward at Woodbum
state training school Thursday
night, state police reported to
day. Two others were recaptured
shortly after the break by school
officials.
"We are well cognizant of the
difficulties entailed in any at
tempt to preserve neutrality in a
world situation like that . . ."
the magazine commented.
The only other alternative that
the magazine could see for Japan
was re-armament. But "not only
does it appear, unlikely that the
allied powers will permit Japan
to re-arm, but the possession of
military forces would be a viola
tion of the new Japanese consti
tution." Japan renounced armaments
and war in the hope that it would
facilitate her joining the United
Nations and on the assumption
that in thee event of aggression
by a foreign power, the United
Nations would guarantee terri
torial security, the magazine
said.
"But instead, Japan has been
left literally and utterly defense
less in a critical world situation
among nations possessing with
out exception some measure of
military strength," it concluded.
