More discouraging items in the
news these days!
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.
It will be an interesting event.

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

leave you.

its loveliness. In bad times,

leaves, all kinds of medicines and

It is beloved of children. You can

The easy way out for Congress
is to vole the dandelion as the

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

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."

"Wo una Play?'
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.
