T wonder 11 you've been follow
ing the Saga of the Soybean during
tta past week. In these days when
we're still flirting with the idea
that we can repeal the law of
apply and demand and CONTROL
TOE MARKET PLACES by laws
passed by congress (or the state
legislatures, or the city councils,
or-' what have you) the current
: Story -of - the soybean is interest-
.-, ing.
' let' brief It here.
'.H on Tuesday or last week, soy-
beans began to display unexpected
strength Jn the grain market. The
- next day (Wednesday) they shot
;.. to a NEW HIGH SINCE 194 on the
: Chicago Board of Trade. On that
day, May soybean future contracts
Jilt S3.W.
On the next day (Thursday)
V March future - soybean contracts
, went to S3.62V4. The soybean bulge
on that day was described by one
. communion house (big E." F Hut
. ton Co) as "a continuation of
the most dynamlb bull market In
f? grain's history"
. What caused it all?
Seeking a possible answer to that
, question, let's quote an AP mar
ket dispatch of last - Wednesday
(when the soybean bull market was
Just beginning to gather strength):
"Buying In soybeans reflected
strength in the soybean oil mar
ket, which In turn was based part
ly on a Dill introduced in con
gress late yesterday (Tuesday)
which would REDUCE THE
AMOUNT OF THE CUT SCHED-
ULED FOR BUTTER PRICES ON
APRIL 1."
That Is to say:
Soybean oil is one of the princi
pal raw materials of margarine.
The price of margarine is com
petitively limited by the price of
nutter, witn wrucn n competes.
The secretary of agriculture had
already (at the time of this soy
bean flurry) announced a reduc
tion In the parity support of but
ter which was generally expected
to cause a drop ol about eight
cents per pound In the price of
butter on the markets.
Cheaper butter might be expected
to CUT consumption of margarine.
Then
Unexpectedly
A bill Is introduced In congress
to REDUCE THE AMOUNT OF
THE CUT SCHEDULED FOR
J BUTTER PRICES, ,
In other, words-
" If the bill became lkw,' the
price of butter would STAT HIGH
ER, and presumably people would
go on eating mora margarine. If
. that happened, more soybean oil
would be used and the price of
soybean oil could be expected to
go higher.
So
Speculators rushed Into the mar
kets and bid up soybeans to a
new high since 1Mb In what s big
commission house termed "the
most dynamic bull market in
grain's history."
As of today, soybeans have
dropped a little from their peak
of last week. Today's market re
port says: "Soybeans dropped sev
eral cents at the opening and then
recovered a good part of their
losses In sctive dealings. The No
vember future, representing the
. 1854 crop, bounced back above
Friday's close."
It will be interesting to see what
will happen to soybean prices if
the bill to KEEP BUTTER
PRICES HIGHER fails to become
a law.
Let's put it this way:
Suppose' this bill to keep butter
prices higher had been Introduced
at the instigation of some smart
speculators who had loaded up
heavily on soybean futures.
They'd have made a killing,
wouldn't they?
Just by the INTRODUCTION of
a bill In congress.
Things like that COULD HAP
PEN at any time in a market that
is controlled by MAN MADE law
instead of by the economlo law of
supply and demand.

food for thought

William F. Dean, captive of the
Communists for three years, testi
fied Monday he would take poison
if he ever were csutured again,
to make sure he did not reveal
military secrets.
Gen. Dean, a Medal of Honor

Frank Schwable, who confessed
falsely to germ warfare while a
prisoner in Korea. The purpose of
the Inquiry Is to determine whether
court martial action shall be taken
against the flier.
Under questioning. Dean retold
the story of his own attempt at
suicide after 32 hours of continu
ous interrogation by the Commu

away, Dean- testified, but he
thought he could seize an unguard

my mouth." He got the gun but
the trigger mechanism wouldn't
work. And he was knocked down
and disarmed.

U.S., Japan Sign Mutual
Military, Food Aid Pact
TOKYO MiJapan and the
United States today signed a mu
tual defense pact to give the Jap
anese both guns and grain and
hasten the day when American
soldiers can withdraw - from the
island empire.
The mutual defense assistance
agreement actually a series of
agreements will pour 100 million

months and probably amount to
much more to the long run.

Increase
WASHINGTON UPi Secretary
of Labor Mitchell Monday asked
Congress to boost his department's
budget 40 million dollars in the
next fiscal year, mosly to take
care of increased unemployment
compensation.
Mitchell told a Senate appropria
tions subcommittee he is working
on the assumption that there will
"continue to be a high level econ
omy" in the next fiscal year but
that "there will be some increase
in unemployment."
The labor secretary asked for
$340,635,000 in the fiscal year be
ginning next July 1 compared with
1300,446.603 in the present fiscal
year.
Nearly all of the requested in
crease was for the purpose of
"making grants to states for em
ployment service and uemploy
ment compensation, including un
employment, payments to veter
ans."
Mitchell told the subcommittee
that his proposals anticipate in
creases in only four of the, depart
ment's 11 divisions:
1. Unemployment compensation
and grants, -..to states 40,002,392

Excise Tax Cut
Bill In House
WASHINGTON tf House speak
er Martin (R.-Mass) said Monday
the administration will not oppose
House. passage of a bill to cut
excise taxes nearly a billion dol
lars, but will seek to ease the
reduction in the Senate.
He told newsmen after the week
ly conference of Republican con
gressional leaders at the White
House that President Eisenhower
feels the proposed cut "goes a
little too fBr."
The speaker said the present
plan is to call the bill up for de
bate in the house on Wednesday.
The measure, in addition to cut
tag many excise taxes, would
continue beyond April 1 the pres
ent excise or sales levies on a
number of Kerns, including liquor,
tobacco, gasoline and automobiles.
On other items the existing ex
cise rate above 10 per cent would
be cut back to that level.
At his news conference last
week, Elsenhower indicated he
might have to accept some reduc
tion in excises even though he
has spoken out against them at
this time.

stuck under my finger nails and
set fire I didn't know whether I
might have given him (the inter
rogator) what he was working on
at that time, the defense plans
for Japan," Dean said.
"If I had not known the plans,
t might have been curious to see
bow much torture I could take. ."
"Did you have classified infor
mation?" asked Col. Paul B.
Sherman, defense counsel for the
Marine aviation officer.
"That's right."
"And you had great fear you
would give something away?'
"Yes. If I ever go to war again
I'll, carry along a pill which I'll
take if I'm captured."
Sherman's questions led Dean
through a recital plainly designed
to establish that the general had
an easier time than Schwable.
The general testified that he re
ceived continuous, although inade
quate medical care while in Red
hands; was never subjected to
physical torture, was permitted to
interupt the questioning repeatedly

sentry. He was not required to

said the agreement "takes us one
step nearer the time when the
United States can withdraw its
forces from Japan."
Japanese Foreign Minister Kat-
suo Okazakl signed for his govern
ment. The agreement will boast Japan's
defense force from 120,000 to 160,
000 men and hold it along more
military lines. The United States
will supply ships and planes.
FOOD AID
The United States also will start
the movement of 600,000 tons of
surplus wheat and 100,000 tons of
barley to Japan. And Japan will
sell the grain domestically and in
turn use the money for guns and
munitions.
The agreement was hammered
out in eight months of negotiation
which at times brough the Liberal
government of Prime Minister
Shlgeru Yoshlda under intense op
position criticism. Despite Social
ist opposition, the government ex
pects ratification by April 1.
Allison emphasized tnat tne pact
does not require Japan "to send
its young men abroad." He quoted
Secretary ol state Dulles who said
recently the agreement would be
purely of a defensive nature, dlr
ected exclusively toward contribut
ing to the defense and security of
the Japanese homeland,"
ADVISORY GROUP s
However, neither does the agree
ment specify that Japan should not
send troops wherever it saw fit.
The agreement binding Japan to
the Western democracies in the
fight against communism provides
for destroyers, tanks, Jeeps, air
planes and other military needs.
It also provides for a 700-man mili
tary advisory group to serve with
the Japanese defense force.
Material given to the Japanese
cannot be resold lo other nations.
The agreements is almost identi
cal with 4 similar mutual defense
pacts the United States has signed
with -many nations.
Okazakl noted "our participation
in the system of mutual security
signifies another step in our co
operation with the f tee nations."
The Japanese foreign minister
also said that the- agreement was
purely defensive ana bound. Japan

. The exact amount or number of
military items to be furnished is
left unspecified. However, Ameri
can military authorities are pre
pared to go as fast as the Jap
anese wish because Japanese
forces must be stepped up sharp
ly neiore any substantial Ameri
can withdrawal.

Badly Needed
WASHINGTON Ml The Forest
Service expects to get back about
25 million dollars for the 1 ifc mil
lion it wants to spend on forest
roads and trails in Oregon and
Washington.
Edward P. Cliff, assistant for

operations on about 3 ? billion
board feet of national forest tim

Is salvagable. Cliff said, but more
than a half billion feet already
has been retrieved and the pro
posed road construction program
will permit salvage of another 1.
000,000,000 worth about 25 million
dollars.
"If we didn't get roads into that
material in the next few years,"
Cliff said, "we would lose the value
of practically all of It."

Foreign Aid
Total Given
By JOIIN M. HIGHTOWER
WASHINGTON W President
Eisenhower told Congress Monday
that..-in a little more than four
years the United States has given
$7,700,000,000 worth of guns, am
munition and other military equip
ment to strengthen free nations
against the threats of Soviet pow
er, t
The weapons supplied, he said.
included 30,792 tanks and combat
vehicles, 6,340 aircraft, 601 Navy
vessels and 2 million small arms
and machineguns.
The figures he disclosed in the
report on the mutual security pro
gram covered the period from the
beginning of military assistance In
October 1949 through last Decem
ber. He said that almost 50 per
cent of the total was shipped dur
ing 1953.
The report pictured many na
tions as regaining economic health
and depending less on American
assistance.
But the President asserted that
as long as the harsh threat to
world peace exists our country will
continue to shoulder the heavy ob
ligations of world leadership."
He said that military assistance
and economlo aid programs
though constantly revised "cannot
be drastically cut without undoing
much of the rewarding success
Which has been so painstakingly
ana iBooriousiy acnievea."
The President said that In 1949
the United States financed about
36 per cent of its total exports of
non-military goods and services by
grants and loons, but in 1953 only
about 15 per cent was financed by
such aid.
With respect to Indochina, the
President said that the rate of U.
S. military shipments in 1953 was
50 per cent higher than in 1952,
and ne recalled that the. United
States had made available 385 mil
lion dollars for Indochina aid in
addition to 400 million previously
appropriated by Congress for the
present fiscal year.

French military authorities en

vital seaport Monday following a
vietminn commando ran on a
nearby landing field where Amer
ican air technicians service U.S.
supplted transport planes for the
French war against the Communist-led
rebels.
Reports circulated that the Viet
minn had declared they planned
to attack every area where Amer
ican personnel work. The Vietminh
radio recently accused the United
States of intervening in the. Indo
Chinese war. - ,
None of the 44 U.8. Air Force
personnel stationed at the field,
Catbi, three miles from Haiphong,
was on the airfield when the com
mandos attacked before dawn Sun
day, Another 105 American techni
cians work at Doson airstrip, 12
miles southeast of Haiphong. The
French set up prohibited zones
around both fields, barring from
the areas alh civilians except
those with, special authorization.
The rest of the 252 Americans
aiding the French in maintaining
the planes are stationed at Toil
rane, on the central Indochlnese
coast.
The French announced the seiz
ure of 74 men suspected of aiding
the vietminh in the Catbi raid.
The military said five of the raid
ers were killed, "several" taken
prisoner and three high explosive
cnarges had been seized.
The French said "esTeral
planes"- had been destroyed but
that these were light aircraft
parked .along the rim of the air
port. A spokesman said airport
troop patrols drove oft the raiders
oeiore they could reach American-
made Flying Boxcars and bomb
ers unea. up in w center oi tae
field. - -i ' '. '
. Patrols at, the two airfields were
romiorcea- lonowing tne acute.
Patrols at all other landing strips
in north Indochina were alerted
Monday to guard against further
Vietminh raids.
Before the arrival of the Ameri
cans, Vietminh commandos raided
the Doson field about a month ago,
damaging planes and blowing up
gasoline storage depots.
Last Thursday morning rebels
wrecked 12 transport planes at
Gialam civil airport, five miles
from Hanoi.
The attack at Catbi was made
by khaki - uniformed Vietminh
troops who got on the airfield by
convincing the sentinels they were
Vietnamese soldiers. '
Their leader was described as
'speaking perfect French."
Then the rebels rushed to put
bombs, timed to go off in a few
minutes, in the planes lined up on
the runway. As explosions and
fires swept the planes, the rebels
opened fire on the airport guards.
The French Union patrols report
ed they had no losses but said,
several ol tne Vietminh raiders
were killed, wounded or captured."
