Now we learn from a research biologist that plant life in the An tarctic waters is rich and profuse. This was discovered by Michael Neushul Jr., who spent quite a bit of time last year diving into the near-freezing waters of that chilly region to find out what was in the water. He hints, as have many others, thai the day is not far off when this "trcasurchouse" of food will be the mainstay of the world's diet. Somehow the idea of diving into freezing water to browse on the bottom leaves me pretty disinterested. I should much prefer steak and baked potatoes. Progress (the nastiest word in the English language) 1s not for me if 1 have to substitute frozen sea, booties on the half finger for Decf ana spuas. And It would seem a pretty dim prospect of finding hot biscuits and gravy on the floor of the An tarctic. On the encouraging side, how ever, is the news from the Wine Institute that the sale of wine in the United States increased last year at the same time that sales of hard liquor were falling off This would) seem to indicate a trend toward somewhat more gra cious living and certainly toward much better eating. Wine sales scored gains in all but nine monopoly states where the state operates the beverage stores. In theso stales the sale of wine was off by better' than eight percent. Everywhere else they were up better than 13 percent. In the past 25 years, according to Ernest Gallo, board chairman, California wine sales have boomed from 26 million gallons to 125 mil lion gallons. Quite a gain. Wine is strictly if you like 11 and approve of its use. It has been with us since the dawn of time and is a graceful and lovely thing In its proper place. It Is encouraging indeed to see California' forging to the head of the class in the growing of wine grapes and the production of fine wines. Growers and vintners in that alate are so confident of their ability and of their growing loca tions lhat they arc planning an International wine judging contest In IMiO to prove that California wines are the equal, and in some cases the superior, of wines grown anywhere in the world.

The official flower of Hawaii Is tho red hibiscus and of Alaska the momentarily apt forget-me- not. What can Congress do, faced with this plethora of choices? If it names any one of these flow ers, it by implication offends the other states and territories. The only remaining possible choice is the dandelion, the gold en democrat of lawn and pasture. It is the true all-Amencan flower, a rugged individualist that stands above class or creed. Or local partisanship. It is the stubborn friend of all You can't even force this pal to leave you. In good times you can admire its loveliness. In bad times, good times,- you can make wine from its blossoms, salad from its leaves, all kinds of medicines and a substitute coffee from its roots. It is beloved of children. You can hold Its yellow glory under your best girl's chin and tell if she likes butter. The easy way out for Congress is to vole the dandelion as the U.S. national llower by acclama tion. Naf iounl Flower By HAL BOYLE NEW YORK (AP) - It Ameri ca is to wear a national flower in Its buttonhole, why nol make it the dandelion? Congress is periodically peti- tioncd to name an official U.S. flower, but so far has ducked a vote. This issue could cause a lot of statesmanlike heads to roll like petals at the first frost. For garden lovers are a pas sionate folk. Knock their favorite flower, and it's worse than kick ing their dog around. The angry sap rises in thcm.Thc wise poli tician realizes that picking a na tional flower could easily lead to a floral war between the slates. Hight now there are two lob bies besieging Congress some ladies from Atlanta, ardent advo cates of the rose; a Midwest con tingent which thinks the corn tas sel should be the tossing symbol of our land. The rose lovers. o( course, are strictly traditionalists and are Uie kind of people who pick the New York Yankees every year to win the American League pennant. Against them Is the opinion ol many that Ihe rose is a garden snob and not democratic enough to represent America. The corn tassel crowd claim that the corn tassel is as Ameri can as Pocahontas and. further more, is the bright harbinger ot two of mankind's greatest pleas ures bacon and bourbon. 0 n e criticism against it: It is almost as symbolic of a single region, the Middle West, as cotton was ol the Old South. The big problem Congress laces In selecting a national (lower is how to avoid showing regional fa voritism. Here, lor example, are the ol ficial flowers ol the different slates: Alabama, goldenrod; Arizona, giant cactus; Arkansas, apple blossom; California, golden pop py; Colorado, columbine; Connec ticut, mountain laurel; Delaware, peach blossom; Florida, orange blossom; Georgia. Cherokee rose Idaho, Lewis mock orange Illinois, butterfly violet; India na, peony; Iowa, Carolina rose. Market Talk By ELMER C. WALZER United Press International Kinanci.nl Editor Down in Wall Street where stocks and bonds of American in dustry are traded, the canny mar ket men have devised several max ims which they apply to the mar ket and to business. One of them goes something like this: "When any group is unani mous in anything it usually is wrong. Then there's one which goes: We have always come out of busi ness recessions bigger and better than ever and have gone on to new heights of prosperity: And, no two recessions are based on the sanio causes, and no two ol them have ever come to an end in the same way. What all this adds up to: No. 1. there is unanimity of thought that the recovery movement will drag on for a long time before things get back to norniol. Here's unani mity and the premise may be all wrong. The recession could end much quicker than Ihe majority thinks. No one denies the nation is sure to come out of this recession and move to new highs in prosperity. That is seen as good unanimity. Now for the thing that's going to bring us out of the rut. Everybody is looking for some elixir of life to he applied to busi ness, a spurt in I his or lhat in dustry that will restore confidence ind bring recovery. Those who question that thesis point out that recessions of the past have always ended in differ ent ways under different stimulii. I his time, while everyone is looking for some eighth wonder ol the world to make its appearance a whole group of industries might start up suddenly, and whoop up a recovery movement instead of just one leading the way. There have been many signs of improvement recently. Farm Income is higher and farm ers are buying more farm implements. Copper inventories are down and copper is selling better at higher prices. Aircraft orders are large and companies are humming, calling back laid-off workers. Steel has been in a rise for five weeks and more gains are fore seen. . ' Oil experts look for a rise in sales for the industry this year. Construction is nearing its best levels since 1956. Road building is improving and that means lots of steel and ce ment. There's the railroad industry, a real sufferer from recession, but one that may soon get help from Congress. Then there arc automobiles. More cars are wearing out every day and more of those in opera lion are being paid up. Hence a big new market for autos once the public wants to get going on the buying side. There'll be new auto models ear ly in the autumn and they may catch on like wildfire. Textiles are perking up after a long period of recession. Then there are a lot of things that never went down like the con sumer goods industries. A long list of the depressed lines could swing into action at 'once. And that would give the nation a real lift. It could happen and the deed could be done before the fourth quarter, the time the experts think right now that some semblance of recovery will begin to make it self felt. toward new headquarters buildings was the National Association of Letter-Carriers. The mailmen put up their building in 1953 at a cost of almost two million dollars. Then the Teamsters moved into a four million dollar home in 1955. Two years ago the electrical, ra dio and machine workers built a half-million dollar headquarters. In '57, another half-million dol lar home went up for the street car and motor coach men, and a two-million-dollar edifice for the operating engineers. Presently the hod carriers and common laborer are embarked on a do-it-yourself project, many of them are employed building their own headquarters. One of the biggest monuments to labor is the six-million-dollar bakery and confectionery workers home. It was erected in 1955. All these buildings are financed through the regular channels . . . banks, bonds, loans, and so forth In fact, some of the buildings such as the bakery workers head quarters, are occupied only in part toy the union. The rest of this val uable Washington office space is rented . . . and the money from rents. turned back into the union treasury. Labor Homo By United Press International Everyone knows Washington as Ihe seat of federal government, but Ihe capital is well on its way to becoming the center of the labor movement. . Ray Farkas, United Press In ternational correspondent, reports that almost -one-third of the na tion's unions maintain their head quarters in i Washington. And how they maintain them! In the last five years, 30 mil lion dollars worth of modern un ion nuiKiings nave sprung up in Washington, and more are coming What arc the reasons for all this up-to date housing for labor's lead ers? Here's what one AKL-C10 representative says: wny shouldn t these unions build? Their membership has au Ihorized the money for that pur pose. Besides, there's an element of pride, the day of the 'steam- fitter's hall' is vanishing." And why are the unions flocking In Washington in the first place? Well, he explains it this way: "When you go out to a ball game . . '. where would you like to sit? In the bleachers or ,in third base box? well, we want to see the ball game. Here's where they make the laws that affect the unions. We want to be right there in the third base box seats." Here's a quick look at some of the Washington-based labor tin ions . . . and their 30 million dollars worth ot "box seats." First in the current progression Poqo c .

By JAMES MARLOW Associated Press News Analyst WASHINGTON (AP) "You wanna play?" That's the essence of Nikita Khrushchev's latest letter to Pres ident Eisenhower, proposing a big American-Soviet trade program and Soviet purchase of machin ery from this country. Play or not, this fat and reason ably happy land is in for it. The United States faces a war with the Soviet Union a trade war. be deadly whn it really gets rolling. The Soviets will use trade, plus aid, not for profit but for political penetration. The Soviets, although they've made astonishing scientific and industrial progress, still lag be hind this country in total indus trial production, particularly in consumer goods. Before they can really start a giant export trade program with Ihe world not just the United States they will have to satis fy consumer demands of their own people. First reaction in this govern ment to Premier Khrushchev's proposal has been negative, par ticularly to his request for ex tensive credit. But, with or without American help, a nation which has surpassed us in missile development will find a way to get the machinery it needs to satisfy its own people's wants and have plenty left over for some exporting. Only last April Khrushchev vowed war against the West with consumer goods. He said: "Wars mean killing people. Why should we want war when we have other means I mean consumer goods." Tho more the Soviets raise the living standards of their own peo ple, the more will be the attrac tion of communism for the back ward peoples who want to move into Ihe 20th century fast. They saw the Soviets do it in 40 years. Only last week the Committee for Economic Development a private, nonprofit group which analyzes economic problems reported the Soviet Union is threatening the West through an economic offensive already under way by winning good will in un derdeveloped countries with trade and loans. Since the Soviets control their entire economy they should pro vide competition of a kind and on scale this country has never encountered. For example: they could cut the price of any item to undersell goods Irom the high priced free enterprise American economy. Add to this unpleasant prospect the industrial development of Red China which in time should be able to find, a broad market for its exports in Asia and the Pa cific. It's likely communism as we know it will change and soften since nations like plants and ani mals go through evolutionary states but the most to be ex pected is a softening into demo cratic socialism, not capitalism Hut socialism in the Soviet Union or China would still mean government control of natural re sources and the means or produc tion and distribution. In short, slili controlled economy. The idea of American-Soviet trade or Soviet purchase of Amer ican machinery isn't something recent with Khrushchev. He's been talking ol It lor years, il only in inlormal talks with visit ing Americans. Flower Show Alt. Laki Garden Club will hold its . sixth annual flower show at the Henley Grange Hall Saturday, June 7, from 1 p.m. to i p.m. Decorative and horticultural classes are to be ex hibited.
