Zelenko But they said the treasury is concerned that its revenue loss from the provision may run con siderably higher than the $47,' 000,000 it had anticipated.

Agricultural Advisory Commission to consider freeing surplus Northwest wheat on a price basis that will make it available for livestock and poul try feeding.

(International) As We Live Need For Scapegoat It is always, easy, when some thing goes wrong, to pass the buck to someone else or to claim that it was the fault of the thing you were working with. This frees you of all sense of r e sponsibility for the mis take or the &m9mh-ria poor quality Dr. Huxlock of work done. Vv niie tnis may give you temporary satisfaction, sooner or later you will be forced to realize that part of the blame was yours. Then you will begin to feel guilty or inadequate, or both. Instead of being a buck passer, it is better to face things realistically and recognize from the first where the responsibil ity lies. In the long run you will feel better about the matter, even though you may feel guilty or disappointed at first. First of all, recognize that no one can be perfect, that everyone makes mistakes and that a lot can be learned from mistakes. A person who feels guilty when he falls short of perfection has an unhealthy attitude, perhaps the result of too-high parental expectations and criticism in childhood. Must Change Altitude This attitude must be changed before a person can make any headway in taking the blame. Always remember that people are less likely to criticize or blame if you frankly admit that you were at fault than .if you try to shift the blame to some one else. The second step in overcom ing the buck-passing tendency is to avoid tackling something you are incapable of domg or that you have not prepared yourself to do. Recognize your limita tions, and ask for help or advice instead of plunging into some thing that is doomed to failure from the start. No one expects you to be able to do everything well. If you try to deceive your self into believing you can do this, you will have no one to blame but yourself if you make a failure of it. LETTERS FROM READERS Relaxation: "I have found that if I sit down and relax for a few minutes several times during th , morning and afternoon. I do not get so tired. When my mother is visiting me, she says am lazy and that she could work from morning to night when she was my age. This makes me feel guilty." ; - (A) You could work from morning to night too, but you would certainly not do as effi cient work and you would be more tired at the end of the day. All efficiency experts agree that a short break does wonders for a worker. Let your mother criti cize you for Having new fangled ideas," but stick to them. Size of Wardrobe: "Does a high school student need such a big wardrobe as most high school girls insist upon?" (A) Social life in high school today is such that a girl must have a fairly large wardrobe if she is to fit in. However, a large wardrobe - need not be too ex pensive. Most girls learn to make some of their clothes. Old clothes can be changed and re modeled and new ones bought at sales. For a few years in a young girl's life, a big wardrobe goes a long way toward helping her to make good adjustments to school and people, and to ward being happy.

Ml SwpgTo Kleavy DuflflMsWes; May lower EoiraiDe d yssDaoBs Washington U.R) American officials said Saturday that the Soviet swing from consumer to heavy industry may seriously lower Russian morale and mean less food on the Russian dining table. . - Satellite peoples may be even more seriously affected because many of them have in the past known much higher living stan dards than the Russians, offici als added. . .. : The Soviet hierarchy made an effort after Stalin's death to give the Russian people - more food clothes and other items than they previously received. But the - government recently abandoned this softer line and said it would place heavier em phasis once again on heavy " in dustry the -kind needed for further industrialization and support of a growing military machine. See Drop In Food Supply This poses a question of what will happen to already lagging agricultural production. If trac tor and light industry produc tion is curtailed in an effort to get more heavy production, it seems likely the Soviet Union will produce still less food. A U. S. government report recently said the Soviet Union is already "critically short of foodstuff." The U. S. Information agency said Russia had less grain per person last year than it had in 1926. The agency admitted that Soviet grain production has been increasing slightly but said the increase has not been enough to keep pace with the growing population. Portland Vice Squad Arrests 73 in Raids Portland (U.R) Vice-squad police arrested 13 persons here early Saturday in a series of raids on alleged after-hours drink and gambling establish ments and bawdy houses.
