WEEKLY NEWS ANALYSIS Marshall Fixes Deadline for Aid; 1947 Corn Crop Down 25 Per Cent; Britain Decides on Labor Draft Released by WNU Features. ■ (EDITOR'S NOTE: When optalena are expressed Ist these eelamas. they are these of Western Newspaper V ■!•«’» news analysts and not aeeossarUy of this newspaper.) THEIR DECISION . . . With these four men rests, tai a large measure, the fate of Europe in IM7. They are: Rep. Charles Eston (Rep.. N. J.), chairman of the house foreign affairs committee; Secretary of State Marshall; Sen. Arthur H. Vandenberg (Rep.. Mich.), chairman of the senate foreign relations committee, and Sen. Tom Connally (Dem.. Tex.), an Influential Democratic voice In foreign affairs.

DEADLINE: December 1 Apparently feeling that congressional approval of his request for 597 million dollars in stop-gap aid for France. Italy and Austria was assured. U. S. Secretary of State George Marshall sounded a new keynote—speed. He suggested to the house foreign affairs committee that a deadline of December 1 be established for emergency relief to the three hardpressed nations, and looked ahead to an early March deadline for his four-year. 20-biinjyn-dollar plan for eventual European recovery. State department witnesses backed up Marshall's plea for speed They testified present funds would carry France and Italy only through December, beyond which looms the brink of chaos and confusion—political, moral and economic—unless additional help is rushed across the sea. Also testifying before the house foreign group. Lewis Douglas, U. S. ambassador to England, offered a brief, pointed summary of the whole issue of immediate foreign aid: There can be no guarantee that the aid program will succeed, but it would be more risky to deny Europe financial help and watch despair and pandemonium spread across the continent. Finally, it was the opinion of Secretary of Commerce Averell Harriman that emergency European relief “can be substantially met." despite supply problems in this country. China, Too Virtually forgotten under the press of urgent affairs tn Europe is the problem of China — ravaged, still contorted in war. constantly backsliding into greater political and economic corruption. As a modicum of aid and comfort to that Eastern nation. Secretary Marshal] has proposed a 300-million-dollar aid program to be administered in conjunction with the European phase of the Marshall plan. At the same time. Marshall held to his stand that the suppressed report of Lt. Gen. Albert Wedemeyer on conditions in China would not be made public. He intimated that it drew such a dismal picture that to release the report would be harmful both to the U. S. and China. CORN DOWN: Semi-Finals There was a smattering of bad news in the agriculture department’s semi-final crop report of the year. It had to do with com and winter wheat The 1947 U. S. com crop now stands at an estimated 2.447.422.000 bushels, a decrease of 11.252,000 bushels from a forecast made • month ago. That is slightly below the 10-year (1938-45) average of 2.839.102.000, and far under last year’s record yield of more than 3.2 billion bushels. Hopes tor another bumper wheat crop next year received a thorough dampening with the department’s announcement that about 25 per cent of the intended winter wheat acreage in the important great plains area had not been seeded by November 1 because of dry weather. Simultaneously it appeared that meat production had started a downward trend, impelled by the reduced com crop and higher feed prices. Department of agriculture spokesmen estimated that there will be a cattle population of only 7? million on January 1. 1948—8.6 million below the all-time high of 85.*. million on January 1. 1945. k As a result, consumers will be eating less bertopork and poultry next year—there just won’t be as much to go around. Armhtic* Day* Now that the U. S. has passed through two world wars, what should be done about the nation’s two armistice days, marking the ends of the conflicts? In a recent survey. Dr. George Gallup said that a majority of Americans favor celebration, of two Armistice Days—one on August 14. the other on November 11. This plan is favored because it would provide two work holidays instead of one.

Hungarian Fugitive fl JE wIL ® Zoltan Pfeiffer, leader of Hungary’s anti-Communist Independent party, thought it likely that he would be arrested by the Commu-nist-dominated Hungarian government. So, taking a leaf from the book of Poland’s Stanislaw Mikolajcsyk. he disappeared. He fled into Austria a few hours before a parliamentary committee was due to decide whether he should be brought to trial for allegedly sheltering Nasi SS members.

LABOR DRAFT: Everybody Works Great Britain’s nationalization ' program, geared to extremities, has • risen to the drastic level of a sweep-I ing labor draft in the nation’s des-I perate struggle for economic survival. The battle of production, upon l which Britain is depending for her life, had reached a crisis which de- i manded the efforts of every able-■ bodied worker in the land. the. Brit-1 ish Labor government decided. | So the "spivs, "drones.” idle j peers, hatcheck girls and others whose occupations come under the i head of trivia in the nationalization | regime will be rounded up and ■ drafted for industrial labor by government decree starting December 8. Men between the ages of 18 and 51 and women from 18 to 41 will be caught up in the conscription, w-ith a possibility of a *2.000 fine and two years’ imprisonment for those who refuse to register. Conscripts have a choice, however. They will be given the alternative of going into the coal mines, agriculture, textile production or any other of the essential industries whose production must be boosted to stave off economic failure. If a labor draftee refuses to take a proffered job he may be ordered’ into it RED ACTION: Riots, Terror Communist-borne trouble and terror was on the increase in France and Italy. Spreading paralysis gripped the French port city of Marseille as workers responded to a general strike call by Communist labor leaders after a day of(rioting in which one person was fatally wounded and six others seriously hurt. In Milan. Italy. Communists sacked an anti-Red newspaper plant I and-attacked .a police station in the course of rioting which gripped the ' city in a state of near terror. They ‘ demanded the immediate suppres-| sion of newspapers f’which incite; people to hate and vengeance," the suppression of "organizations of Fascist character" and the arrest at once of 4‘all 'persons suspected fori their activity against the republic." In both Marseille apd Milan, the Communists seized upon - relatively unimportant incidents and 'managed J to magnify them to a point Wherel they could incite the more impressionable tizenspfjhg cities' ing anti violencA- * NO WAR: Unless ■ ' ‘ 1 In a snapping, snarling world.

w \rHl.Phillipr r THE ELECTRONIC BRAIN Now it’s the electric brain. A high-speed, super-computing machine has been developed that will solve a problem in 10 minutes that would take Professor Einstein three years, working night and day. The United States bureau of standards announces the “machine with a built-in intelligence.” It also has an electronic memory, which threatens even John Kieran’s. We are In for push-button thinking and switch control intelligence. The streamlines, eight-speed, 24 cylinder, high compression brain with floating power may be said to have arrived. A man with a problem just steps on a starter and—-presto—the answer pops out like gum from a slot machine. Instead of concentration and study, all that is required is a change of oil now and then and a few spare parts. Deep thinking becomes a factory problem, a matter of gear shifts and battery voltage. It makes possible the goal man seems to have been after for the last 15 years: 100 per cent results with no use of the individual brain whatever. Everywhere of late we have seen the evidence on all levels of life that heavy thinking, concentration on a serious problem and the use of the head except for purposes of photography were considered un-American and old hat The human brain has become widely regarded as unnecessary except for the purpose of following the movies, keeping track of scandals, forming opinions on crooners and answering “Napoleon" to quis program questions such as “Who invented the tea bag?** “He doesn’t know much" hasn't been taken as a reflection on anybody in years. The electric brain may make things much worse. How are young 'people going to realize the impor- ; tance of going to school if every- | thing they learn can be extracted ■ from a piece of machinery? i And that electronic memory! Can you Imagine the neighbors and old friends having one of those around?
