So report home economists with the U.S. Department of Agriculture. In 1947 the average value of farmhouse furnishings was estimated at 1.387; today, at $2,732. Much of the rise is due to the larger number of household appliances being used in newly electrified farms. Ninety-five per cent of U.S. farms have electricity.

Japs' Matinee Idol In American Movies ’ By VERNON SCOTT UFI Hollywood Correspondent HOLLYWOOD <UPI) A new kind of leading man has appeared on the celluloid horizon—a Japa- • nese matinee idol who wins the leading lady in American movies. He's James Shigeta. Hawaiianborn Nisei, who capitalizes on the pro-American craze in Japan following the war. Nippon couldn’t get enough of American entertainers and musical kings once hostilities ceased, and Shigeta, who was knocking around the United States as a Bight dub singer, got the message. "I took off for Japan, even though I couldn't speak a word of Japanese,” he said. "I learned the language as fast as possible and translated popular American tunes into Jpanese. “In five years I became one of the leading recording stars over there. I also starred in Tv shows and in the theater. You've never seen fans until you've been in Tokyo. They’re the greatest in the Shigeta, handsome by both Western and Oriental standards, prospered in Japan, becoming a bobby-fox idol. > When the big; chance r in the States came up, Jimmy was ready. . ■ - "I came back here last Feb- , ruaty for the NBC Spectacular on , Japan, 1 ’ he said.

"When the picture was over Shirley MacLaine’s husband, Steve Parker, wanted a singing star for his ‘Holiday in Japan' show at the New Frontier in Las Vegas, so I've been appearing in that ever since ” Shigeta, who is taller than most Japanese and speaks flawless English, has returned to Hollywood for another starring role, in “Walk Like a Dragon.” Again, he gets the leading lady. Within the next, year he is slated for more top roles. “I’m still an American citizen," Jimmy said, "but I want to live permanently 4n Japan.

Red Newspaper Guns Against Long-Time Foe By LYLE C. WILSON United Press International WASHINGTON <UPU — The Communist newspaper Trud was gunning against a long time enemy just now when it let AFLCIO President George Meany have it from both barrels. Trud was abusing Meany on charges that he was guilty of uttering anti-Soviet slanders. Anything Meany says about the Soviet Union is most likely to be anti but not necessarily slanderous. Meany was among the foremost of U.S. labor leaders who rejected at all time the idea that communism is anything other than a mortal danger to the United States. The: showdown in U.S. labor came toward the end of World War II when the Russian Communists set a bear trap for organized labor in the free world. The catch was impressive in Western Europe and in the Western Hemisphere. The catch included the American CIO, but not the AFL. The organized labor of Great Britain, France and rhany other countries was caught in whole or in part. Purposes Were Obvious The bait was a new organization, the World Federation of Trade Unions which was invented, owned and controlled by the Communist Party. The purpose of the WFTU was to align organized labor everywhere behind Communist Party policies. In the United States, the CIO was to be the instrument for putting pressure on Congress and the public to adopt the party lineThese purposes were so remarkably obvious from the outset that it is difficult to understand how powerful non-Communist elements of the CIO were enticed. The late Sidney Hillman gaily led the CIO into this Communist bear trap and was elected a vice president of the new order. The CIO, of course, was heavily infiltrated in 1945 by known and unknown Communists. Moreover, the CIO was infested by fellow travellers who followed the Communist- Party line. The House Committee on Un-American Activities listed 13 CIO union leaders as Communists in 1948 and 20 unions affiliated with the CIO as having been then or previously under Communist control. Had 70,000,000 Members When the CIO blundered into the WFTU it submitted itself, in fact, to the Communists for abuse as a vast organ of Communist propa ganda in the United States. George Meany had a big hand in keeping the AFL out of this vast and dangerous entanglement and the newspaper Trud has been picking on him ever since. Meany was AFL secretary.

The origin of the / ponies is obscure but legend says they are the survivors of a 15th-century French settlement.

AFL, said in June, 1947, that: "The question of CIO international labor relations is in the hands of pro-Communists.” It was estimated that WFTU had 70 million members, a powerhouse of Communist propaganda. Meany, Woll, the AFL and some others constantly exposed WFTU objectives. Otherwise this vast propaganda machine might still be operating effectively against the United States today. These criticisms and the fact that the Reds overplayed their hand in pressuring the CIO combined to force something to give. The CIO and other free world unions walked out of WFTU in 1949 and, in time, the CIO pretty well cleaned its own house of Reds. Many children who were orphaned and left homeless by World War II have found refuge in Pestalozzi, a children’s village in Switzerland named for Johann Heinrich Pestalozzi, an 18th century Swiss educator.

Act Now To Stop Com Lodging If lodging of corn plants has damaged your crop and cut profits this fall, make plans now to reduce losses and grow money making yields next year, advises the Midwest division of the National Plant Food Institute. "First step in your planning program should be a soil test this fall,” says the Institute, in a statement summarizing recommendations by Corn Belt soils and crops specialists. "The soil test will tell you which nutrients are needed for healthy, high-profit yields. Lack of plant food can be an important cause of lodging. Stalk rot develops more rapidly when the soil’s fertility level is out of balance. That is particularly true when the corn plants are starving for potash. “On the basis of the soil test, you can apply the needed nutrients in the fertilizer you add before arxl

during planting next spring.” The Institute lists these additional steps for reducing losses from lodging, based on suggestions by Dr. Herbert Johnson, University of Minnesota plant pathologist: , ,' 1. Select a corn hybrid variety that has strong standing ability and is least likely to lodge. 2. Use measures for controlling insects and diseases. 3. Pay close attention to the corn plant population in your fields. Stalk populations up to 18,000 per acre are satisfactory, but extremely high populations can make lodging worse. The first world’s fair to be held in the United States was put on in New York in 1853.
