EIGHT MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUWE TnoradaT. April 18. IMS Dulles Sees Russia Unlikely To Seek War New York (U.R) John Foster Dulles, chief architect of the peace treaty with Japan, said Wednesday that Russia is "un likely 'to seek an all-out war be cause of Communist distrusts of the Soviet's "largely non-Com munistic" army. "The Russians do hava a pro gram of world conquest in mind," Dulles said, "but they will try to effect it through the indirect methods of penetration and subversion, rather than through fullfledged war."

MI'S APPLIANCE CO. 220 WEST MAIN Two Basic Disputes RagcAroundTruman's Grab of Steel Mills Washington QifS Hot ( witness against the Industry, the are two baste disputes ratinf around President Truman's seiz ure of the steel industry. One dispute Involves a question of law. the other questions of eco nomic fact. The question ef law. of course, is whether Mr. Truman had au thority to seize the mills. Judre Alexander HolUoffs refusal Wdenesday to Issue an Immedi ate restraining order acainst the seizure did not settle the legal question. The neat step will be an industry effort to obtain an actual injunction. Old Timers Reminded Already building up around the question of Mr. Truman's legal authority is angry debate which reminds old timers of the outburst which greeted FDR's plan to reorganize the supreme court back there In February, 1937. But the matter of the presi dent's authority will remain a question for the courts to de cide. The economic question Is be fore the court of public opin ion. With Mr. Truman as chief Government Lends Support to Prices Of Pork and Eggs Washington !U.B The Agri culture department went into the ham and egg business Thurs day. It is trying to bolster farm ers' prices on pork and eggs. The department offered to buy 300,000 cases of shell eggs and "substantial quantities" of smok ed pork products to "divert from the market temporary surpluses which are resulting in unfavor able producer prices." Under Pressure Secretary of Agriculture Charles F. Brannan has been under heavy congressional pres sure in recent weeks to aid egg and hog producers. Hog prices at the farm level have fallen recently to about $16.40 per 100 pounds compared with $17.40 in January and $21.20 a year ago at this time Farmers egg prices have dropped to 33.9 cents a dozen from 40.S cents in January and 43.7 cents a year ago. The department will buy the two non-price supported, perish able products out of customs re ceipts earmarked by Congress for purchase of farm products "to encourage consumption of agricultural commodities by di verting them from normal chan nels of trade." Smelt Run in Sandy Fails To Develop Portland (U.R)-r- A smelt run on the Sandy river failed to ma- erialize Thursday and Multno mah County Sheriffs Deputies said the little fish had apparently moved on up the Columbia. "Everything has disappeared.'' said Capt. Earl Stanley of the sheriffs office. One report indicated the smelt were moving up the Columbia and were at Rooster rock on the Washington side. A sturgeon fisherman said he hooked a smelt in his line at Tanner creek near Bonneville Dam. Short Men Have Good Chance To Live Long Los Angeles U.R Short men msy not have the sex ap peal of their tall, dark and hand some brothers, but they have a better chance of living to a ripe old age, an expert in that sort of thing said Thursday. Dr. William H. Sheldon told physical education convention that studies of body types indi cate tall men do not live as long on an average as short ones. Many physicians are aware of the tendency of short men to live longer, he said, adding that Dr. William James had specu lated whether it might be wise to prevent overly rapid growth of very small children by under feeding. on orders. Allied Infantrymen ambushed a North Korean unit in the Mundung valley, killing seven Communists. steel makers are charged, in ef feet, with, a profiteering effort at the expense of the national welfare. Basle Chargo His basic charge Is that the Industry la as profitable or more so than ever before and never theless demands a big price hike which It does not need to com pensate for a big wage boost. The industry's answer is that Mr. Truman calculated steel profits before taxes were de ducted. The National City Bank of New York has just published a n port of corporation earnings in 1950 and 1931. The report is based on details analysis of an nual reports of the 3.409 prin cipal corporations in the United States. Estimate Not Supported Thew figures do not seem to support Mr. Truman's estimate of steadily zooming steel indus try earnings. The bank discov ered a "profit squeeze" bearing heavily on most industry, includ ing steel. Higher taxes and high er operating costs were deduc ing net Income after taxes, cut ting return on net assets and trimming the profit margin oh sales. Fifty-three steel companies were included in this report. For all 3.409 corporations, net in come after taxes fell seven per cent from $13,773,321,000 in 1950 to $12,838,949,000 in 1951. The overall profit margin in sales dropped from 7.7 to 6.2 per cent f Net Declines For the S3 iron and steel com panies, the 1950 net after taxes was $784,218,000 against $689. 379.000 in 1951. That was a slump of 12 per cent Iron and steel return on net assets drop ped from 13.3 per cent In 1930 to 5.8 per cent in 1931. That is the statistical story of recent steel profits as presented by the National City bank.
