MALCOLM EPLEY Unaftf Editor i AaT I LIU Traveling Through Br MALCOLM EPLEY NEW YORK, N. Y. (Special Correspondence) The magnificent view from New York's Empire State building should be an early ' "must" on the visitor'! calen- J dar. It presents a panorama if "TTS picture of the whole New t .X V ' York metropobtan area, wnicn f CN Tvi wiU he,P the ,trar,8er t0 LT. y "t know where he Is and where Yfci he is going when he Is down on the ground. To me average observer, it is better than a I atU 1 I look at a map. We visited the Empire State building on the Fourth of July, EPLEY and from the 86th floor ob servatory toasted the United States while look ing down on Its greatest concentration of popu lation, steel, concrete and commercial power. It was a clear day, as days go here. We could look out over the blocks of solid build ings In Manhattan to the Palisades up the Hudson, or down across Lower Manhattan to the bay where a big wartime convoy was even then steaming In. We could see far into New Jersey, on the one hand, and over Into Brook lyn and Long Island on the other. It afforded us our first view of the Statue of Liberty, which we have since glimpsed from a closer vantage point. . It costs tl.lO (including tax) to get onto the elevator to the Empire State observatory. At 1000 feet minute we shot to a floor some where around the sixties, where we changed to another elevator for the final boost to the observatory on the 86th. The view is superb and sufficient here, but you can still go higher, and we did. We joined a long line and eventually rode a third eleva tor to the top of the mooring mast, 102 stories above the ground. (1248 feet the tallest struc ture of any kind in the world.) As a holiday gesture, service men and women in uniform were admitted free to the building. This apparently applied to fighting people from other lands, and seeing the parade of uniforms of the United Nations was alone worth the visit. We are beginning to recognize strange uniforms and insignia. The observatory on the 86th floor will ac commodate 2000 persons, and we would guess there were that many there on the occasion of our visit. There is an outside terrace for windy sight-seeing, and inside the glass enclosure is a tea. room and cocktail bar which were doing great business that day. We waited 45 minutes . for toasted muffins before we gave up and did our eating on solid earth. The circular enclosure atop the mooring mast will accommodate 100 persons. Persons inclined to dizziness at extreme heights may escape that feeling on the 86th floor, but they'll be giddy on the mooring mast. We were. Before we leave these dizzy heights, (1248 feet) we'll offer a few more facts on high buildings, cribbed from the menu of the Empire State tea room. The Eiffel tower is 905 feet; the Chrysler building in Manhattan is 1046 feet to the tip of its spire (habitable only to 783 feet; Empire State is habitable to the very top), the Bank of Manhattan building is 927 feet, and the Woolworth building (pictured in our school geography) is a mere 767 feet. o With Rats and Moles NOT quite so spectacular as Empire State, but equally interesting to this small-city yokel on his. first visit to this metropolis, is the sub way. This labyrinth of underground tunnels, full of hurtling trains and high noise, has amazed this visitor whose underground ventures here tofore have been confined to trips through a mine or two and the caves in the Modoc Lava Beds. The entrance to the subway station on the street of our temporary residence here (East 68th street) is no more pretentious than the stairs to the old Herald and News office at Fifth and Main under Dick Heeder's. In fact, it looks about the same. But underneath Is a room of considerable proportions, with stairways leading to the track levels. This station Is not so elaborate as many others, but here there is a flower shop and a news stand underground. At larger stations there are more shops, and downtown there are subway entrances to the big stores and the various buildings above the subway stations. . There are also passageways which are virtual underground streets, with flourishing businesses . on either side. Coming out into the lounge at Radio City Music Hall the other night, someone told our party it was raining outside. We wanted to go to Pennsylvania station to get a bag. We walked through a passageway under the street, took a train, walked through a long passage way and came out in Pennsylvania station, two miles or so from Rockefeller center. We again took the subway, and by devious underground routes rode several miles to East 68th street, where we came out of the earth a block or so from home. (It wasn't raining). Unhampered by other traffic, subway trains re fast, and the passengers seem to be trying to keep pace. They run through the stations, along the passageways and up and down the stairs. Observing the rushing mob, a man in one of the stations remarked: "Those people run around underground like rats. Those who live, here long enough are rats." "Where do you live?" he was asked. "Right here," he answered. "I am a rat." News Behind the News By PAUL MALLOM WASHINGTON, July 12 A few enlight ened business leaders and economists outside the government are groping toward a new post-war plan to fur nish full employment. They are working in a di rection opposite to the depression-groove thinkers of the New Deal, a direction sug gested in this column pub lished July 7, which would I cient'y Instead of abandoning Kr.: I " or centralized government 0 MALLON Their idea seems to be to keep wages up, prices low, profits up. They would do this by developing mass production beyond anything we have known up to now in this machine age. For a theoretical example, they would take a refrigerator which sold formerly for $200, plan to produce and sell three or four times as many for half as much. They can hope to do this because industry now has vast machine tools already established on acres of concrete floors, and because the technical cost of manu facturing, as everyone knows, decreases sharply as mass production increases. It would be done without much reduction in labor War-wages, thus maintaining purchasing power and, therefore, is something which the unions might well get behind. Their slogan could be: "Sell more at lower prices." Technically, their scheme Is known as "a low price policy." The initial idea has been under uncongealed discussions among business people for the past few months. In March, an official of General Electric, David C. Prince, advanced an idea of main taining $110,000,000,000 of purchasing power in American post war market by careful pri vate business planning and technological im provements. The Aluminum Company of America has published, paid advertisements since January urging a business system of "imagineering" for post-war based on a low price structure. The United States chamber of commerce has done some promotion to get business men to assume the responsibility for working out some such private enterprise formula. "Basic Criteria" NOW comes the Brookings institution econo mist, Edwin G. Nourse, gathering up these various stray lines of thoughts and setting them forth in a booklet called "Basic Criteria of Price Policy." In this pamphlet, the theory begins to assume proportions of a rounded-out substitute philosophy tot New Dealism, the old negative, defensive way of providing em ployment by artificial economic tricks such as unbalanced budgeta and share-the-work plans. Mr. Nourse concludes the current situation is ripe for action in the new direction. Technical developments in war production have put busi ness ten years ahead in that respect, he says, with an unprecedented number of skilled work ers available. He does not know whether prices actual!? can be reduced. That all depends on the out come of the current inflationary war price trend. Nor has he laid down anything more than some basic principles upon which the theory might be worked out. These are just the beginnings of thought on the subject, but probably the most heartening evidence that a post-war maladjustment can be avoided as has been brought forth. The assumption by- private business leader ship o responsibility for employment, it seems to me,, will not, however, relieve the govern ment of considerable overall responsibility for the success of such a plan. The government too could well cooperate. Its natural responsibility would be to main tain the sharpest competition in private busi ness, thus furthering the low cost policy, and exert various mild but rigid pressures to keep it on the line of stability. For instance, a cooperative government might Institute a sliding scale tax policy to help the program work, raising rates if over-expansion appeared, and reducing rates if symptoms of under-production became evident. O O 0 o Policing Low Price Policy INDEED, a benevolent government could police the low price policy effectively and thus assure its success. It could hold back its own plan of vast public works expenditures (national resources planning board report and shut off spending entirely, and economizing sharply in government as business proceeds on a satisfac tory course. Later it could release public works projects to whatever extent a declining situation might eventually require. The realities of the current outlook logically necessitate this anyway. This country now "is out of everything," as an editor has written to me. It will take at least three to five post war years or more to get the things we need. In those days, there will be plenty of work for everyone with high wages, thus no need for New Dealism. Democracy can be made to work, if we only try. UNDERCOVER RESCUE HARHISBURG, Pa., OP) It was ladies last when the Sus quehanna river patrol rescued three persons. One of the three, a woman, clung to a canoe, demanding a blanket, while her male com panions were being saved. "Lost her dress when the can oe turned over," one o the men explained. Have shock absorbers in your caf inspected at least every 5000 miles as they will wear rapidly beyond repair if the liquid gets too low. SIDE GLANCES fl . lU T 1st Miwet, SH S a .. ... - ims is one ot the things I like about RoiiiR out for housework every day. nm'nnt beins served a wcll cooked meal ot noon I" "Fishing Can Lost the War. . ." Old Larrity, the bulleook, was reading a book. He gave a squint of greeting over his steel-rimmed specs and waved his cob pipe with a horny hand. "Hearken to this here," Lar rity said, without more ado. "It's philosophy, and worth hearin". " 'Perversity, paradox, incon sistency, self-contradiction all are inherent elements of the na ture of man.' Larrity read, with a tone ot relish and a pronuncia tion all his own. 'This fact is most conclusively manifested in times of war." " The ancient bullcock looked up, nodding sagely as he puffed his pipe. The atmosphere grew strong. "I looked thim words up." Lar rity said, "after hearin' a good citizen of Polewater speak his mind to Mark Tobias, the camp push. This citizen had drove up to go fishin' on the north branch without checkln' first to find if It was closed account fire dan cer. It's been so for a month. for the reason that fishin' in the woods can lose the war. Well, after usin' his time and gas to drive this far, the John Citizen has to be mad at somebody, and it's the loggers " "What do you mean, fishing can lose the war, Larrity?" I in terrupted. "Fishin' can start forest fires." said Larrity emphatically. "It makes the real fishermen mad to say so, for most are prime woods men and take due care with fire. But a few who go fishin' are stinkers." The Sins of the Minority ... "The good citizen who took umbrage at Mary Tomias forgot his philosophy," Larrity went on. "He said he was doin' a tough war job, he'd bought war bonds, he had a boy in the navy, and there was no more danger of him startin' a forest fire than of tellin' war secrets he knew to the Japs. I'd believe that of him and of the next eight fishermen who'd come along. But the tenth could be a stinker. "This good John Citizen sounded off about the desperit shortage of lumber, and how it was because so many loggers were hid out at soft jobs in the shipyards. Then he turned loose on Mark, and on the company, and wound up with a blast at the Gov'ment. then drove off in a cloud of dust and blue atmo sphere. "It all sums up. Most fisher men pertect the forests from fire. Most loggers are in the woods, fcrgittin' all cl.e but the boys at the fronts need wood. Most oper ators are makin' shift in all kinds of shortages and troubles to do the same. Most Gov'ment men are try in' hard to win the war. But in each crowd there are some stinkers. "And so, when the stinkers in one crowd make grief for anoth er crowd, it's the curse of human nacher that the men in the other crowd forget philosophy and get full of fury and fight. And the next thing each gang is curs In' the other for the sins of the few and coverin' up the sins of its own minority." Desperate Lumbar Shortage "The sorrowful thing ot it all Is that the .boys in the real fight are the goats," sighed Lar rity. 'They are primed for the big invasion. They've got to have all kinds of supplies, and they won't get them without boxes and crates to ship them in. They've got to have inva sion boats, great fleets of glid ers, explosives all manner of fightin' materials which can come only from timber, from logs, from the mills. "Forest fires can cut down that supply, which is already desperit short. So can loggers who stick to the shipyards. So can operators who give up to their troubles. So can the Gov' ment men whose duty it is to bring experienced loggers back to the woods. "Fishin' can lose ithe war. Loggers stayin' in the shipyards can lose the war. Loggin' com panies which don't go the limit to get out logs can lose the war. Gov'mcnt men who put politics before their bounden duty to pervide more help for the log gers who are workin' their heads off in the woods, can lose the war. And all because of the 10 per cent of stinkers in every crowd." LESS BUTTER, CHEESE, MILK FDR CIV LIS WASHINGTON, July 12 (IP) The war food administration (WFA) announced today that for the twelve months begin ning with July clviliuns would have to gat along with less but ter, cheese and most kinds of processed milk. The butter cut will be 404 million pounds un der the previous year with the supply reported at 1,670,000,000 pounds, compared with appar ent civilian consumption of 2, $74,000,000 in the previous twelve months. The armed forces have been allutcd 1 Mi pounds out of every 10 pounds of butter produced and the Russian army will re ceive Mi pound, leaving approx imately 8 ot every 10 pounds for civilians. Civilians will get 308,000, 000 pounds of cheese, 5 Mi out of every 10 produced, and the remainder will be divided among the armed forces, coun tries receiving defense aid. thu Med Cross and U. S. territorial possessions, with the allies get ting the largest share. The ap parent civllnn consumption last year was 838,000,000 pounds. Of the 60,000,000 cases of evaporated milk expected to be available during the next 12 months, 30,000,000 or 4 13 cases out of ten have been al lotcd to civilian use. Military and war services will get slight ly more than 24,000,000 cases or 3 Mi of every ten cases. The apparent civilian consumption last year was 2,301,000,000 pounds while the allotment this year is approximately 1,303, 000,000 pounds. Jaycees Told Post War Planning Needs Young Men's Clubs EUGENE, July 12 UP) State Junior chamber of commerce di rectors were told Saturday night that Oregon needs more organi zations of young men to plan for the postwar period. National Director Jack Shields said local activity by young men is necessary to develop projects which will absorb workers and members of the armed forces af ter the war. He said more than 800 junior chambers in the na tion are working to this end. State President Paul Lee, Klamath Falls, said the Oregon units are planning a program of more active participation in war and postwar problems. Movie Actress Marries Soldier HOLLYWOOD, July 12 OP) Today was wedding dsy for Jsnet Blair, brunette movie ac tress, and Sgt. Louis Bush, band music arranger at the Santa Ana air base. The ceremony was scheduled for 1 p. m, at the Lake Arrow head home of Frank Vincent. WAR KITCHEN NUTRITIOUS LEEKS PUT SNAP IN SUMMER SALAD Br CAYNOR MADDOX Watercress adds delight to any salad and packs in vitamin C. For delicate sandwiches it is ideal in its unrationed blessed ness. As a cream soup base, it takes the mind off rationed foods. Whether you get it from a pure brool: nearby, or cultivat ed, from your grocer, it's a wel come summer green for the bal anced diet. Leeks are now in the victory gardens and your markets. They are larger than scallions and do not have the strong flavor ot on ions. They are a source of vita mins A, B, C and G, and con tain some calcium, phosphorous and iron. Use them as a vege table, or in cream soups for the hot weather luncheon. When selecting leeks, take only those that are young, crisp and tender, that is, those with fresh green tops and medium sized necks which should be well blanched for at least 2 to 3 inches from the root. Now for a good quick bread without any shortening. The mo lasses, whole wheat, milk and nuts make it "he-man" food, ideal for the worker's lunch box and children's luncheons. Molasses Nut Bread Without Shortening (Makes 1 loaf) One-half cup New Orleans mo lasses, 1 cup milk, IS cups whole wheat flour, I cup bread flour, i cup sugar, 1 teaspoon soda, i teaspoon salt, 1 cup chopped nut meats. Mix molasses and milk togeth er in a bowl. Mix the whole wheat flour, sugar, soda, salt and nut meats and stir quickly into the liquid. Mix until just blend ed, then pour into a greased and floured loaf pan (01-inch by 61 inch by 22-Inch) and bake in a moderate oven (350 deg. F.) 50 60 minutes. Cool in pan before slicing. TOMORROW'S MENU (Eat the Basic 7 Every Day) BREAKFAST: Stewed straw berries, dry whole wheat cer eal, French toast, honey or sy rup, coffee, milk.

The parachutes used by Amer ican airmen weigh 25 'pounds each. First Aid Knowledge for Accidents, Emergencies Dr. Masters' Health Column Br DR. THOMAS D. MASTERS During the summer, with In creased violent outdoor exer cise, there Is bound to bo an In crease also In accidents and emergencies. Since accidents have a way of happening In places less suited to quick and satisfactory medical treatment, and around people Ignorant of how to handle emergencies aris ing out of them, a few practical tips are In order. What to do about fractures when exact equipment for enre Is lacking, and how to Impro vise on material at hand until medical care is available, Is val uable Information which too few persons bother to acquire. Certain groups llko tha Boy Scouts and the Red Cross havo, since tho outbreak of war, giv en some invaluable training In meeting accident emergencies. But there are still many people not yet conscious of the need to know first aid. DISTINGUISHING FRACTURES After the major premise of keeping the victim of an acci dent warm Is taken cara of, the thing to do next is to distin guish between a compound and a simple fracture as clearly as possible, and to apply a splint to any fracture of a major ex tremity, simple or compound, before attempting to move the victim. The victim should be kept quiet and motionless during the hunt for a suitable splint. A fence rail, signpost, branch of a tree, broom, rake, rifle, or golf club are all usable and Ingeni ous solutions to the problem. If the weather conditions are bad, it may save lime to forego a splint, and bind one leg to the other or the arm to the body. Ideally, the splint should be light and strong, and long enough to extend beyond the Joint both above and below the site of the fracture. If the arm is broken, the splint should reach from the shoulder to the fingertips, if the leg, from the hip to the heel. The splint had better be too long than too short. A coat can be used to band age. A folded hat can be used as padding to east the pressure when the splint Is tightened. Nackties can be utilized to strap an ankle or wrist to the splint. Garters and suspenders give ad ditional support. Only after the splint is secure, should the pa tient be moved. The . splint should be lifted never the In jured limb and when the vic tim is seated in a car, the foot, for example, should hang free, supported by the splint. SPINAL INJURY Spinal Injuries are especially difficult to deal with. The spinal cord must be protected, and it Is essential to avoid bending the trunk. Simplicity of treatment and the minimum of handling are the rule here. A flat, broad support on which to lay the victim is necessary before he is to be moved. A board, a shuttor, a door, or some other flat object of nearly body-length or longer should be found. Keeping tha body's pes tion flat Is easiest when body Is slid rather than lifted onto tho support, and treated as one piece, with all the members In line, If no rigid support Is available, the victim may have a blanket-roll unrolled gradual ly beneath him, while his head, trunk and extremities remain in line. Once on the blanket, he must be supported st the level of shoulders and Ilia middle of the thighs. In I ho event of a neck frac ture, the head also must be sup ported. If no blanket can be found, two coats may be tied together by two sleeves, or by running two poles through oi posllo sleeves, tho coats placed tall to tail, and buttoned down the middle, thus forming a fea slble stretcher.
