The path of a "geed soldier" h tha Urns at apostasy. i World Today By DEWTTT MacKENZIE THE failure of the communist Instigated general strike In Italy la another forceful Indication that the Western democracies have contained the Red Offensive and are gaining In Europe's Cold War. This was the second serious defeat of Its kind the fcolshevlsts bad suffered In a week, the other being the flop of a communist-supported general strike in I I I Franca. The two setbacks are particularly significant In that Italy and France have been the chief com munist strongholds In Western Europe. Moscow has leaned heavily on the Red organizations of these two Important countries. The Italian atrike was called by communist lead ers ostensibly to protest the death of two peasants In fights with police growing out of Invasions of farmlands by squatters. However, the proclaimed purpose of the move was of small moment. a a a THE real Importance rested In the demonstration that tha Italian public no longer runs for cover when tha Reds crack the whip. This transforma tion has taken place under Premier De Qasperl ainca his christian democrats defeated the commu nist In tha ma election. Coincident with this of course has been the de velopment of the grave conflict between the Kremlin and Marshal Tito of Yugoslavia. That fiery Balkan state had been another stronghold of communism, and Tito was ons of Moscow's pets. 80 we find the communist oflensive held along a line from North to South through Central Europe. But that isn't the whole story by a long shot, for there Is bitter discontent among the Russian satellite states. Wholesale purges and liquidations are being carried out in most of these Eastern European countries. The situation Is particularly tense in Poland and Chechoslovakia, but Hungary, Romania and Bulgaria also are having thr:r troubles with disaffection. As a complement to these developments the de fense ministers and chiefs of staff of the twelve Atlantic-pact nations have met in Paris and with out fuss or feathers have agreed to a general de fense plan Involving Western Europe and America. This plan still hss to be approved by the Atlantic council. After that a billion dollars worth of Ameri can armaments will be released for defensive pur poses In Europe, provided President Truman certifies that the plan is acceptable to the United Slates, a a a a DEFINITELY the tide has turned in the European Cold War. However, while that It a nutter of extreme gratification It needn't encourage complac ence. One of Moscow's chief alms has been to pro duce economic chaos among the democratic nations, and she has succeeded to an extent which likely far exceeds her expectations. Still bolsherism hasn't profited politically. For while the Red Ism theoretically thrives on economic distress, the peoples of the Western world have recognised Moscow's scheme with the result that they have turned even more firmly against commu . nism In most cases. Possibly bolshevism has gamed some time which we shall see reflected In the Far Western offensive. But democracy is doing well In the West. Boyle's Column Youth Is the Time to Be Homely, Says Rugged Scribe " r- - fy; BOYLE By HAL BOYLE NEW YORK OPi The first day I went to Junior high school Just 35 yean ago there was a pretty girl sitting In front of me In English class. She was blonde. In a shaggy way. and had cupld bow lips and a little brown freckle here and there. I thought to myself, 'boy. If Junior high's like this I certainly wasted a lot of time getting through grsm- ( asar school. About halfway through the lesson. ' my new dream t r 1 turned around, grinned st me and whis pered: "I wondeV what you looked like before tha mule kicked you." I waited until t h e teaeb er looked the other way, and then whispered Into the fan- ear be fore me: "I never was kicked by a mule. She turned around and gave me that heartbreak smile again, and whispered: "Oh. was it a horse then?" Dswnlng For a moment I didnt understand what she meant. And then I blushed clear down to my new S2J5 tennis shoes. What this darling doll was trying to tell me was that my face LOOKED like It bad taken a boot massage. This wasn't the first time I had been disappointed In love. Only three months before the girl I had wanted to take to our graduating exercises at the Ltnwood grammar echool had turned me down with, "I'd love to, Harold, but really you are too small for me." But no one before had ever told me I was homely. I went right borne from Junior high snd spent a half hour grimacing at the bathroom mirror. That blonde was right I No doubt of it No nose needed to spread that wide Just to fill one pair of lungs with air. Were those really ears or coat hangers? That hair or was It moss? Why did anyone need a mouth that big unless he wanted to swallow crackerjack boxes? Desperate I came out of that bathroom a desperate man. Women were out of my life forever. I was going to stsy a bachelor and win all the merit badges In the Boy Scout book. What else could a love-frustrated fellow do at 13? For the next ten years I hated that face that looked out at me from the mirror. The fact that Abra ham Lincoln and Socrates must hsve had tha same trouble was no consolation at all. . But at 23 I made an astonishing discovery I was still pretty ugly, but I wasn't getting any worse. My ears hadnt grown an Inch. In the years since then I have learned the fine consolation that time brings to tha homely. There Is only one way for them to grow and that Is better. On tha other hand, those who are beautiful or handsome when young can only fade with age. And It fret them Into melancholy. Why? Often I used to wonder whatever Induced my lovely wife to marry such a plain thing as her husband. One day I found out. We were look ing through her family album, and there was a picture of her as a child with her pet, Major, a fins old bulldog. -. "Do you ever get lonesome for Major? I asked. "Not any mora,'' Frances said. looking at me fondly. All along such Is the loyalty of wives she hss stoutly Insisted I'm not reslly exactly homely. .When I asked her what I was. she searched through the English language for an adjective and aald: Ragged -Well, you're the. . . er. . . er . . . Well, the rugged type" Anyway It's better to be homely young, realize It young, and go on to other things. Dr.Fishbein . Ends Stormy AMA Career CHICAGO. Dec.

Forming And You Nervy Stock Farmers Can't Be Timid About Investments Bv OVID A. MARTIN AP Farm Reporter WASHINGTON. Dec. 3 U" Much Is heard these days sbout Inves tors' being fearful of taking finan cial risks. Economic conditions. It Is said, are too uncertain. There la one place in America where there's no such timidity. That's down on the farm. The farmer Is going right ahead expanding one of the most hazard ous of all enterprises the produc tion and feeding of livestock for meat. This Is a business In which a drop of three or four cents a pound In cattle prices can bring on bankruptcy. Ne Pause Yet, In face of a general decline In farm prices, a gradual reduc tion in national Income, and some forecasts of recessions and depres sions, the farmer Is going right ahead building un beef rattle herds, pioducing more hogs and maintain ing a high level of milk production. Regardless of whether all this re sults in profit or loss for the farmer. It promises larger supplies of animal products for the con sumer, if" To get an Idea of the risky char acter of livestock farming, let's take the case of a hypothetical cattle feeder In the Midwest corn belt. For the most part, such feeders go Into the market and buy thin cattle and place them on a heavy ration of corn, other grains and for age to fatten them to slaughter weights. This fattening process takes from a few months to a year or longer, depending on the weights and quality to which the feeder desires to bring the animals. At current nrtces a feeder would pay about 30 rents a pound for such animals. A herd of 100 head averaging 500 pounds would cost 110.000. I'ntertain When tne reeder buys cattle he has no assurance what the price will be when he gets them ready for the slaughter market. Suppose he feed. them long enough to In crease the weight to 600 pounds. The total tonnage would be 60 000 pounds or lO.uoo more than when he bought them. The feeder would make a little money only If he were able to sell the cattle for more than 30 cents a pound. It would take the revenue from the increased weight to cover cost of his feed. labor and other outlays. Dsnger But suppose prices dropped four cents a pound. A price of 16 cents a pound on 60.000 pounds of cat tle would bring only SB600. or 5400 short of the Investment. There would be nothing to cover feed, la bor and other costs.

Back In 1039, we Imported some 30.000 tons of pepper, mostly from India and Indonesia. Pepper that year averaged four cents a pound. The war upset all that. Imports were erratic. In 1043 we Imported only eight tons. The next year not even a shaker full ran the blockade to get In. reillnt Such shortages boted the prtre until OPA put a ceiling of ten cents a pound on black pepper. That last ed until early 1946 when the lid was lifted. Pepper Jumped from an aver age of ten rents In 1045 to an an nual average of 30 cents, to 43 cents, and to an average of 63 rents last year.

Some believe there may be large storks u'i pepiier there harvested from gardens that escaped notice.

Still, the Vlshliuky proposal left the U. S. In a kind of box.
