The growth and advancement of mankind no longer depends entirely upon tlie blessings of nature, us Was the case some 25.000 years ago when this new species of life ap peared to take dominion over the earth. Today man's existence must depend upon a tool of his devising wmcn ne culls "industrial re roarch." However, here again we laco one of the strange enigmas of man for Instead of trying to aid industrial research to bene' fit the society which created It, it teems Inherently human for many people to do their utmost to "ob struct ' it. Possibly the suddenness with which Industrial rcscurch has de vcloped to Its prcuent position of eminence has generated unwarrant ed fears on the part of many people who scarcely understand It; fears that the power It ob viously possesses over future pro gress may be abused; fears that a monopoly of brains may be in the making, or Just plain fears of change. Of course there are the politcally ambitious who see In the rise of Industrial research a threat to their ambitions of con trol over the destiny of man and they nature II v carry the fight nguinst research in the guise of laudlble humanitarian causes. Whatever fears the general pub lic may possess, however. I am of the opinion that their basic cause Is simply the sudden ap pearance of Industrial research in our economy. Had Industrial re search developed simultaneously with modern Industry over the past 150 years Instead of merely dur ing the past &0 (to a large extent), these fears would be nonexistent. That Industrial research should have been developing over the 150 year period seems obvious to us now; Its rapidity of growth dur ing the last four or five decades has been largely a "catching up" process. Whether or not it has completely caught up with other industrial activities Is a question for debate. I am of tlio opinion that It has not. Assuming that I am right In this opinion there Is mill e further point for debate Will It? That Is a (ar more dilficult ques tion to answer than the first. It hinges on so Tinny intangible fac tors, factors which only the future Itself will fully develop. Let us examine a counle of these. factors at random, more for the purpose of disclosing tho uncoordl. Dated thinking that Is taking place rather than to attempt a solution or inem. , For example, there is one school of thought that was rather voci ferous 20 years ago and still has a frreat group of converts today, this group believes that all Industrial research should be ended for soma Indefinite period, as they ex pressed It, until the humanities have caught up. However, along. SAM DAWSON NEW YORK IH The housewife pushing the grocery cart is at odds again with the statisticians who figure the food price Index. The housewife is told the whole sale Index is down but she can'l see that the retail food prices are at least not much. It's largely the old story of the tpread between the price ol the raw materials out of which foods are fashioned and the finished products on the grocer's shelves. That spread like othera, lends to widen with the years. The grocer insists the hou.se wife'a getting more for her money today If she takes Into considera tion all the fringe benefits of con venience, time saving and Im proved nutrition in todays prrparea loods. The government's wholesale farm product price Index la well wiow tne 1847-4D base. The gov ernments wholesale food price in dex Is about even with that pre-Korean war level. But the goternment's retail food price Index In September was 11 a ner cent higher. Although nicely down from its peak of two years ago Dun si Bradsliect's wholesale looa price Index is the lowest since June. IBM), when the Korean war started. The housewlle llnds this hard to believe because she aavs we prices she pays certainly ren't. The D. & B. Index Is a rouch and ready Indicaior. It Isn't nm- posra 10 oe aetinitive nor a cost of living index. The Index Is the cum of the price of a pound each oi 31 loodstulta. Included are lard, ateera, hogs, barlrv. cottonseed oil. Few housewives would buy a pound of these each week Food prices, at every level, have come down from their peak. They nuciuaie now. some Ioodtults like coffee or storm damaurd vegetables, go up because of teuv porary ahoriaget. Some, like pork, tumble because of oveisupply. But what the consumer mostly laixs auout is tnat tne price ol farm products and ol foods at wholesale have fallen more than retail prices and It's retail prices that Interest him primarily. The grocer, and food processors have their arguments handy. They re awaro that Uie consumers sus pect profit taking as the villain Paul s. Willis, president of tiro- Dr. R. T. Lindley OPTOMETRIST 510 Med. Dent. Bldg. Ph. 4915 Eye Esominotion Visuol Tfoining came World War IT and these theorists ever since have been rather quiescent; but given a per iod of unemployment after the "you-never-had-lt-so-good" era, it Is a practical certainty they will be heard from again. Rumbles of their discontent continually are to be encountered in the newspapers. Frankly, the thought processes Involved are beyond my poor comprehension. How unemploy ment may be reduced by increas ing it. or, how stopping industry will start employment is merely denial of logic in my point of view. Then there Is the thought that by placing all industrial research under government direction would result In accelerated progress. Here we have one of the real threats to human progress for the political mind fears the growth of Industrial achievement, It recognizes that here is a movement that is a threat to the security which has been maintained upon the fiction that the future welfare of the na tion rests In the hands of- political direction. There have been num erous bills presented in Congress that would give the politicians the rignt to control all research ac tivities. Congressmen v. i have no knowledge of the processes of pro duction have used up reams of paper In arguments for and against these measures; but again I must conlcss that I simply cannot un derstand the logic employed. Somehow. It seems to me that the political proponents for this bureaucratic stranglehold upon in dustrial research are of the opinion that research scientists are going to work largely for the pleasure of presenting their labors to so ciety free gratis, without any de sire for rewards for themselves. There are such men of course. Thank Ood there arc. for, without them I do not know how the American people would ever get the next generation nt college stu dents educated, but there are none to spare. It is quite true that scientists. as a group, are more willing to work for the sheer Joy of satisfy ing their Inquiring minds than are most, other penple; but It is also true that scientists have wives who want new automobiles and fur coats, quite as physicians' and lawyers' and Judges' wives do. and scientists have children, Just as other folks do, and scientists like to feel that they can raise and educate these children, as other folk do, and to do It they are deserving of an opportunity to ob tain a financial reward that is somewhat proportionate to the services they give to society. In the bills proposed b political hucksters we cannot find where any- scientific worker will get a Just financial return for his con tribution to the advancement of society. . . eery Manufacturers of America. says only a small amount of the retail price Is represented bv manufacturer and distributor net profits. , , . He savs. "Ihelr combined profit today is down to around three cents of the consumer's food dol lar: It was six cents before World War n." And he Insists that fooo prices have declined in terms ol wages, that "an hour's work will buy more and better food than ever before." Food handlers also quote De partment of Agriculture ligures to show that payment to workers for assembling, processing, transport ing distributing farm food prod ucts was M per cent of the total cost of marketing In 1946 but la now M per cent. Modern "con venience loods" cost more In freeilng, prepackaging, slicing, precooking. packing. Transporta tion costs have gone up. Dally fluctuations on the Chicago Board of Trade In the prices of Ihe raw materials of tomorrow's victuals may mean little at the wrocery. The cost of grain, for ex ample. Is a amall percentage of the price of bread. And flour milis hedge on the market to even ou; dally price changes. There Is also a time lag be tween raw material price changes and those of finl.-hed products. A cynic may think that the time lag Is lijht when farm prices are rising, and likely to be longer when they're falling. But this is "Farm-City Week" aimed at making each understand Ihe olher better. It's that spread actually that causes most of the ill feeling on either side.

JAMES MARLOW Associated Press News Analyst WASHINGTON I The Republi can party and Its would-be presi dents are up a tree until Jan. i unless before then President Els enhower says he won't run again. Over the weekend Dr. Paul Dud ley White, the Boston Heart spe cialist directing Elsenhower's con valescence, said it can't be de termined for another two or three months whether his patient has fully recovered. But a full recovery doesn't mean Eisenhower will try for re-election in 1958. It would seem unlikely. having had one serious heart at tack, that he would seek another four years In the White House. It's generally assumed Elsenhow er won't run. Yet, until he says something one way or the other, the Republican hopefuls who would like to fill his shoes some day can hardly publicly proclaim their candidacy. That means time lost in build ing their fences and lining up dele gates to next summer's Republi can convention. At the aame time the Republi can National Committee, which has to plan for the convention, will have to awltch some of its plans and much of Its thinking if Elsenhower doesn't run. Until Elsenhower's heart attack in September, the Republicans were building Elsenhower's run ning. He was their main hope of winning. Apparently he still Is, If not in person at least by proxy. Judg- THE DOCTOR SAYS By EDWIN P. JORDAN, M.D. We are hardly born before peo ple or things start getting in our way. Even as small babies our moth ers generally will not let us auck our thumbs as much as we want tol From then on. we are con stantly running into insurmounta ble obstacles. Surely there is no human be ing alive who does not have frus- raung experiences and none of us has complete freedom of action all the time. Most of the time we do not intend to tackle aomething we cannot conquer but since everyone is prevented from doing as he or she pleases sometimes', it seems to me important to learn how to be have when this happens.

Nevada and Oregon it would take less than 15 miles of road to put Eastern travelers Into Lakcvlew and Klamath Falls from Wlnnemucca. The road la paved within five miles of Denlo and it is paved from Lakeview to Adel. It Is an easy road to build without too many mountains.

Ktrltf Jr. S-rHttrt lug from their current statements, Republicans seem to think in terms of running on Elsenhower's record if he himself can t run. Goodwin Knight, California's Re publican governor and himself a possible candidate for president, acknowledged last night In the Meet the Press TV program there's been a lot of confusion in Republican ranks. S- until Eisenhower finally says y - or no about running again, the party and its still unannounced candidates must mark time and gnaw their fingernails. They're all in a state of suspension now. Elsenhower knows this. And he has probably made up his mind not to run. But saying so is a mat ter of timing. His energies have been so restricted by nis aoctors he has had little time, if any, f political discussions. He'll need time to talk things cer with his advisers and the party's top politicians because of the effect of his announcement if it's not to run on his party and its candidates. The big gulf that separates the thinking of some of the top Re publicans, on both foreign and do mestic problems, could split the party wide open before the con vention unless some way is found to prevent a split. Eisenhower may try to find that way before stepping out of the picture. For that reason, in order to have time tor retlection ana consultation, he may wail until January or early February before announcing nis decision. Also, since there Is no question of the protound effect of the mental attitude on the physical well-being as well as the other way around the adjustment to these blocks to our desires is of significance to nealth. Some people fight back at their frustrations with success at times and failures at others. Those who meet failure calmly and courage ously are generally the best ad Justed individuals in our society. Many persons sink into resigna tion or hopelessness if they en counter too many obstacles stand ing in the way of their desires. Some people develop physical symptoms which are the outgrow! of their frustrations. They often use their "physical" symptoms as an excuse for further failure. Some develope a headache when ever they are faced with a con ference, an examination, or some other test which they fear they W'lll be unable to meet success fully. Others develop similar physi cal symptoms and use them as a reason for falling to meet life's problems or as explaining their failures. It Is extremely difficult to persuade such Individuals that their symptoms are Just an ex cuse! Another type of unfortunate re action to frustrating experience is to take to alcohol. There are other weak escapes Into unreality in which the per son kids himself or herself Into believing that the world Is against him and his failures are someone else's fault. It seems to me necessary to recognize that life holds obstaclea which cannot always be overcome, I do not believe that the problem of mental adjustment lies In the field of sex alone or any other single activity of life but rather Is spread throughout the whole range of life's experience. That we react differently to those problems with which we are faced tas well as having different frustrations! L surely shown by the enormous variation in our individual behav ior.
