President Peron o Argentina
(he pronounces his name Pay
ROAN, il that lnteiests you) must
be in bad trouble. Ha called his
henchmen around him In Buenos
Aires this morning and OFFERED
TO RESIGN I
When a demagogue politician of
fers to resign, you can bet your
bottom dollar the situation doesn't
look too eood. !
He made quite a show of It.
When his gang had rallied
around, he struck an attitude and
aid:
"I offer my resignation to in
sure pacification. The time for
fighting has passed. The time has
come to work and consolidate our
revolutionary gains. I do not want
to be an obstacle."
His crew came through nobly.
They chanted In substance, If
not in actual words:
"NO! NO! NOI Boss! That you
MUST NOT DO!"
They might have added:
Tf you quit YOUR Job, we'll
lose OUR Jobs."
They didn't, of course, utter this
thought that was uppermost in
their minds. It wouldn't have
sounded good and In affairs
of this sort everything must be
made to sound good.
At any rate. Peron didn't re
sign. Instead
Offices, stores and factories
quickly closed. The ministry of
war building, across from the
government headquarters (where
Peron put on his show) WAS
PROMPTLY SURROUNDED BY
FIELD GUNS AND COMP ANTES
OF" TROOPS.
There the situation rests as this
is written.
. Let's get back to the U.S.A.
Wholesale food prices as meas
ured by the Dun & Bradstreet
index declined this week to the
lowest level In more- than two and
r half years. The Index stood to
day at 16.15. down from S6.21 a
week ago and 56.65 a year ago.
The department of agriculture
announces today that lower prices
for livestock and grains were
leading factors in a relatively big
drop in the farm price index be
tween mid-July and mid-August.
The chart lost two per cent in the
31-day period. Lower prices for
hogs, beef cattle, corn, wheat,
neaches and tomatoes were chief
ly responsible for the drop.
So much for basic economics.
Let's turn now to politics. A
Washington dispatch this morning
says:
"A new two per cent drop In
farm prices has spurred Demo
cratic preparations for an all-out
attack on Republican agricultural
policies.
"Announcing formation of a na
tlonwide agricultural advisory com.
mlttee, Deputy Democratic Na
tional Chairman Clayton Prltchey
said his party . expects to start
- going to town' or, nt-lvm. Issue
this fall. He added:
" 'We regard the farm price
situation as one of the most im
portant issues that will come up
in the Presidential campaign. We
are getting ready to hit It hard.'
So much for the political end
of farming. Along that line, It is
just as well to remember that the
agricultural price slump started
under Democratic farm policies.
Il has continued under Republican
farm policies.
It Is BAD.
But I doubt If POLITICAL
FARMING (which means farming
the farmers for votes instead of
(.rmlng the land for crops that
can be sold at a profit) will prove
to be the solution.

Eye-Burning
Smog Covers
Los Angeles
LOS ANGELES tfl Los An
geles' amog siege, worst of the
season, was listed by the county
air pollution control director
Wednesday as a crisis. Gov. Good
win J, Knight said he is prepared
to declare a state of disaster If
necessary.
Director Smith Grlswold said the
smelly clouds of eye-burning smog
would continue for "at least m?
next few days" and he called on
industry to institute voluntary
smog control measures.
Grlswold said industry had failed
to cooperate and had contributed
heavily to the series of emergen
cies. FIRST ALERTS
Under "first alerts" called daily
for the past five days, a ban on
open and incinerator burning goes
into effect. Grlswold claimed en
forcement of the prior alerts has
been poor. First alerts are manda
tory when the concentration ot
ozone, the most Irritating sub'
stance In smog, reaches .50 parts
In a million parts of air.
If the ozone content reaches 1.00,
I "second alert" is called, all but
essential vehicular traffic is halted
and all but essential Industry Is
asked to shut down. A "third alert'
would be called tf the concentra-
lion reached 1.50 and all Industry
could be ordered shut down. There
have been no second or third
alerts in Los Angeles.
CITIZENS GROUP
The Citizens Anti-Smog Com
mlttee of Pasadena asked Gov.
Knight to hold a hearing. He re
plied that the Los Angeles County
Board of Supervisors has an emer
gency program to protect citizens.
"In the event of a far more
critical smog condition than now
exists." the governor said, "under
the emergency action program up
on request of the Board of Super
visors I have the power to de
clare a state of disaster. . . and I
would do so."
Grlswold said federal and state
health officers will launch an in
tensive investigation starting
Thursday into the nature and ex
tent of pollutants from oil refineries
and power plants.
He was critical of the County
Board of Supervisors for allowing
a two-year delay of a ban on back
yard incinerators. The supervisors
voted . yesterday to postpone the
effective date, which had been set
for Oct. 1.
Winchell Files
Damage Suit
NEW YORK m Walter Winchell
is suing the American Broadcast
ing Co.. for seven million dollars,
the network said Wednesday.
The damage suit, involving one
of the largest sums ever speciiled
in broadcasting litigation, is the
tipphot of termination of Wincliell's
contract with the network June 26.
"Our lifetime contract with Win
chell was terminated by mutual
agreement as of June 26," an
ABC spokesman said. "There was
no single underlying reason. He
wanted out and we were willing to
let him go."
Neither ABC nor Wlnchell's at
torney, Sol A. Rosenblatt, would
give details of the suit immed
iately. However, it reportedly ac
cused ABC oiflcials of a "viola
tion of their duty" toward Winchell.
The New York Journal-American
said the suit alleges that
Winchell always had "understood
and believed" that he was protect
ed against all financial liabilities
such as libel or slander dam
ages by the network, but the net
work told him he was not.
On Feb. 10 Winchell wrote a let
ter demanding protection or re
lease from his contract, which
guaranteed him a minimum ol
sl.Oon a week even when not
broadcasting.
On March 10. the ABC board ol
directors iniormed Winchell he
was being released from his con-
tract.
