Ross Adair devotes his newsletter this week to his consideration of the sale of wheat by the U. S. to Russia. He is opposed to it. He feels that food is a strategic factor in the cold war, and that we should not sell it to the “enemy.” He implies that lack of wheat in Russia may imperil Communism there, as lack of rice in Chinp imperils it in that country. He feels that it is ridiculous to spend SSO billion for defense, and then strengthen the “enemy” we are trying to “defeat.” He feels some of the wheat will go to Castro’s Cuba. He asks* if we will then sell food to Red China, North Korea, North Vietnam and Cuba. In the first place, the American public must decide this question: should we try to avoid war with the Sjoviet Union and other Communist countries ,and try for an economic victory over them, or should we try to force a military showdown, and go to war with the Communist bloc? If you favor war, then you should back Congressman Adair. His whole plan is based on the idea that war is inevitible, and that we must stop Communism immediately by force. If you favor containment and economic opposition to the various Communist countries, then you should at least consider the sale of wheat to Russia. Is it in our national interest, or not? That is the question as President Kennedy sees it; he does not favor war, except as a last resort, or in defense. He does not feel that war is the only way to defeat the Communist countries. z After all, we have a surplus of 1.2 billion bushels of wheat, a $2,484 million investment. ( Since 1954, we have spent $2,147 billion to store this surplus wheat, and we are spending $1 million a day on storing basic surplus crops. Also, if a wheat sale were consumated, we would be paid in gold. We have been “short” in international payments, of gold from sl.l to $3.8 billion each year since 1958. Politically, it seems advantageous at present to strengthen our relations with the USSR. Why? Because the closer we can cooperate with Russia, the more difficult it is for China, North Korea, North Vietnam and Cuba to cooperate with her. If we can successfully split Communism into a series of small, ineffectual blocks (much as socialism itself was split in the 1890’s-1900’S before World War I) then we can keep it from being a distinct threat to the United States and other nations who favor capitalism and democracy. We have already taken a very big step in that direction. Editorial written by Dick Heller

Secretary Os Senate Quits Due To Deals WASHINGTON (UPI) — The resignation of Senate Democratic Secretary Robert G. (Bobby) Baker eased political pressures and potential senatorial embarrassment today. But there was no certainty that the political fire his outside business deals built in the senate cloakroom had been entirely smothered. Sen. John J. Williams, R-Del., who had launched a one-man inquiry into Baker's financial interests in a food vending firm serving government contractors, would not say whether he would drop his investigation. The FBI also is investigating the vending firm with which Baker had ties. Sources said the inquiry had been expanded. Gave Up Job Baker gave up a $19,600 job, but his wife, Dorothy, who is on the Senate internal security subcommittee staff at SII,BOO a year, apparently was remaining. Both are listed as principals in the controversial vending firm. The Baker affair, said one ranking Republican, was almost certain to be discussed at today’s Senate GOP policy lunch meeting. But he indicated that if the GOP made any public follow-up move, it would not be likely to come for several days. Republican ' and Democratic senators alike were frankly concerned that publicity about the former page boy’s interests in the food vending, motel and insurance fields might prove embarrassing to the Senate. Senate Democratic Leader Mike Mansfield, Mont., who announced Baker’s resignation, said “his great ability and his dedication to the majority and to the Senate will* be missed.” Mansfield voiced his deep regret at losing Baker. Suffered A Loss Politically, no one on either side of the aisle doubted that the Democrats had suffered a real working logs. Baker, who started as a Senate page at 14 and became majority secretary at 26, kept the Senate Democratic voting machinery oiled and ready to go. He reached his peak under the tutelage of Vice President' Lyndon B. Johnson when the Texan was Democratic whip and then majority leader. A native of Pickens, S.C., the 35-year-old Baker provided a working “bridge” between Senate Northern liberals and Southern conservatives. His primary job .was to keep tab on votes, the whereabouts and needs of Democratic senators. In actual practice, he was often a key adviser on legislative strategy for the Democrats. Mansfield named Francis R. Valeo, his own 47-year-old leadership assistant, to fill Baker’s place for the time being. Electric Fuses • A defective fuse can often LOOK perfectly good.

Voice Speculation Over China Policy

By PHIL NEWSOM ’ UPI Foreign News Analyst Among those assigned to watch the twists and turns of Communist foreign policy there is at present a wonder whether Red China is making some attempt to 0 —IO 20 Years Ago Today 0 0 Oct. 8, 1943 — Herman H.

Asks Grocers To Half Suspect Fish Sales INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) — The Indiana State Board of Health today requested all retail groceries in the state to stop selling a major brand of smoked whitefish until samples of the product can be tested for contamination. Frank E. Fisher, director of the board’s Division of Food and Drugs, stressed that the withdrawal action . was “only a voluntary and precautionary step.” “To call this a ban, or to say that we are demanding all smoked whitefish be confiscated would not only be wrong, but also alarming,” he said. Fisher said fish packaged by the Dornbos Fisheries of Grand. Haven, Mich., are thought to have caused some of four' food poisoning deaths in Tennessee and Michigan and so must be “thoroughly tested before their sale in Indiana.” He said all major food stores and many smaller retail outlets have "come voluntarily and before we even asked removal of the suspect product.” Fisher said a shipment of the Dornbos fish was arriving today from Tennessee for testing. ‘ Indiana merchants are very reasonable and we don’t feel it necessary to hit them over the head with a ban or an insult,” hd said. ~ I

change her image as the great advocate of war. The speculation arises from a statement. -last Sept. 18 by Liu Shao-chi, president of Communist China and Mao Tsetung’s chosen successor. Visiting North Korea, he said: "It is impermissible for any so--1 cialist country to be the first to use nuclear weapons under any circumstances.” The speculation received further impetus on Oct. 1 from a speech delivered by Peking Mayor Peng Chen ~at a parade marking the 14th anniversary of the founding of the Chinese Communist Republic. He said world war could be prevented through united effort and “concerted struggle” by the peoples of the world, including those of the United States. Cast Different Light Both statements seemed designed to cast a different light on Chinese foreign policy which has held that force is the only means of settling differences with the Western world and that in the event of nuclear war it would be the Communists who would inherit the earth. Since previous attempts over the last 20 years to forecast day-to-day turns of Communist policy have been markedly unsuccessful, ,it would be a mistake now to take statements by even two such high officials to mean that Red China is changing its coat. But as items of temporary expediency they may have some meaning. This stems from what is known of Red China’s own internal situation. Red China’s “great leap forward” in 1958, with its emphasis on heavy industry was a known failure. Official statements, reports in Chinese newspapers and the ac- . counts of travellers coming out . of Red China all indicate that the present darlings of the Chinese , bosses are agriculture and light , industry in that order. , Since heavy industry is recognized as the key to any nation’s ability to wage all-out war, this ■ would mean that Red China is I moving away from the possibility . of any immediate threat to -world . peace; Reds Aren’t Shy , In past years the Reds have not I been backward about boasts of I their advances in the fields of , steel plating and factory construction. Lately the talk,' has been of . steel tubing for fertilizer plants, I and for small tractors and diesel . engines. Bicycles have taken precedence over manufacture of automobiles. Other reports have told of the manufacture of so-called luxury goods such as clocks, tableware and glassware. Indicating difficulties, there also have been reports of complaints stemming from shortage of replacements for agricultural machinery. None of this should be taken to mean that the Red Chinese are turning swords into plowshares. Nor does it minimize the Red Chinese capacity for creating difficulties in such areas as Korea, South Viet Nam and Laos. And certainly it does not mark a change in Chinese long-range am--1 bitions.

Seasons Have No Influence On Ulcers

By DELOS SMITH UPI Science Editor NEW YORK (UPI) — Statistical proof is now offered that the season of the year does not influence a man’s ulcer. The medical scientists who produced it hoped it would kill a common belief among ulcer men and even their physicians that there are seasons when ulcers get worse. Drs. Syed Z. Ahmed, Martin Levine and Rodman B. Finkbiner solved the difficult measuring of when a peptic ulcer is worse by using only the ultimate worsening. That is hemorrhaging or perforation, and when either happens it is too grave to allow for statistical error. The scientists work in the gastrointestinal research laboratory of the Pennsylvania Hospital, Philadelphia. With punch cards and a bookkeeping machine they analyzed 411 completely documented cases of hemorrhaging or perforation treated in the hospital during the 10 years from 1949 to 1958. Existence Was Proven In each case the presence of an ulcer crater in either the stomach or duodenum had been proved either by X-ray or in surgery or by autopsy. The season of the year of drastic worsening was established in the ’ hospital records. of course. Autumn was taken to begin Sept. 21, winter, December, 21, spring. March 21. and summer, June 21. Statistically 29 per cent of the worsenings occurred in autumn. which was the highest. In summer .21.6 per cent took place. But the occurrences in winter and spring were 24.6 per cent and 24.8 per cent respectively. No matter what statistical checking formula you apply, there is no statistical significance in those differences and the scientists were emphatic ■ in saying so. In the morbid chit-chat among the high-pressure ulcer men in American life, the belief is that spring and autumn are the “ulcer seasons” and summer is the season when a man is least likely to have a flare-up. Not only did the over-all statistics disprove that; it was proved again when the scientists broke

the statistics down for year-by-year analysis in the hope of demonstrating regular cycles if such cycles existed. Summer Was Worst In two of the 10 years summer had the highest incidence of severe worsening and it had the lowest in only three years. Autumn had the lowest incidence in one year and was tied for lowest in another year. Spring had the lowest incidence in two years and the highest in two other years. Winter had the lowest in three years and the highest in one. “The seasonal variation in peptic ulcer is very slight and variable from year to year,” the scientists said in their report to the American College of Physicians. “The concept of spring and fall exacerbation of peptic ulcer has been exaggerated.” Vhey blamed the mistaken support medical science has previously given to the “ulcer season” theory on the difficulties of r.ated many of the variables responsible for false conclusions, they said.

Find Front Ends Os Vehicles Crashed Further investigation by sheriff’s department and Indiana state police officers has determined that the front ends of the two vehicles involved in the fatal mishap Monday morning collided in the intersection where the mishaps occurred. Harold August, deputy sheriff, and state trooper Dan Kwasneski agreed that the right front of the Harrison N. Sudduth car and the left front of the truck operated by Richard E. Elser of Roanoke, collided in Jhe intersection of the two county roads. Sudduth, who resided in the area of the fatal crash, in Root township about a mile south of the Adams-Allen county line, was dead on arrival at the hospital following the Monday accident. Elser is being held for treatment in the local hospital, although his injuries are minor. Car First In Investigation has also established that the truck was probably the second vehicle in the intensection before the crash. Both vehicles were on the east side of the intersection when coming to rest after the impact. Sudduth was traveling south on county road 33, while Elser was driving the milk truck east on county road 2. The intersection of the two stone roads was not marked by any type of sign in any direction. Both the 1955 model car Suddith was driving and the 1960 model truck were total losses. The truck caught fire after turning over on its side in a field, setting some grass afire. Ned Stucky To Attend National Conference Ned Stucky, of Monroe, mathematics teacher at Portland-Wayne township junior high school, has accepted the invitation of Henry Goebel, president of the national education association department of classroom teachers, to serve as a member of the group’s national study conference on the new teacher and the professional association. The conference will be held Nov. 29 and 30 in Washington, D.C.
