a ‘by the illness of Senator Bilbo of and recalling that.the army, navy, co Tuesdav. June 22 10/40 pay, < wn we ae She " GO-ROUND OR. ‘ON : C WA $1 2 i eo L ore, Marshall Plan HEN Washington dignitaries gathered at dinner to commemorate the Marshall plan probably only. one man present really knew how the Marshall plan got started—President Truman. And not even Truman knew or remembered all the details. The birth of the Marshall plan— believe it or not—was influenced Mississippi. Furthermore, this plan —now a great force in revitalizing Europe—was a complete accident as far as the White House was concerned. President Truman had _ been scheduled to make a_ speech at Cleveland, Miss., in the winter of 1947 and called in Dean Acheson, then under-secretary of state, to ask if he could get him out of a jam. He explained that to please some of his wife’s friends he had promised to speak in Cleveland, that the folks in Mississippi had made elaborate preparations. But, he said, he couldn’t go. Senator Bilbo was back in the state, ill, after the Senate’s refusal to seat him, and it would be political suicide, Truman felt, if he set foot inside the state at that time. He had written his Mississippi friends, he said, asking if they would accept a cabinet member instead, and they replied that they were greatly interested in foreign affairs and the only man they would take as a substitute was acting secretary of state Dean Acheson. Acheson of course promptly ac: tepted the President’s personal plea, in fact told Truman he had been eager to make a major speech. But, he warned, it would be an explosive one. Wallace’s Mistake So, having in mind Henry Wallace’s famous speech on Russia which was officially cleared with the White House—but which Truman himself didn’t read, Acheson took great pains to have his speech -earefully examined. His strategy was to have so many cabinet experts read it that it would not be sent to Senators Tom Connally and Arthur Vandenberg whom he suspected might pour on the cold water. The perusers of the speech later held a meeting. Since there was nothing in the speech about bases, the army-navy had no objection. Dr. Nourse Suggested a few changes of figures, which were accepted. Secretary of commerce Harriman, who had been talking to Acheson privately, was enthusiastic, while Truman was delighted that Acheson was getting him out of his Mississippi speaking jam. The British press, however, played up the story big. And as a result Scotty Reston of the New York Times called on Acheson to ask whether this was a new American foreign policy. “you had better ask the White House,’’ Acheson replied. Planted Question So, at the next White House press conference, Reston asked a carefully worded. question as to whether the Cleveland, Miss., speech represented Acheson’s views or the administration’s ;views. still full of gratitude, ‘ Truman, et al had approved the speech, replied that it represented administration policy. A few days later, Acheson went to his chief, Secretary of State Marshall, and said in effect: “I have kicked a fairly important ball up in the air for you, but‘it’s falling rapidly. How about catching it and scoring a touchdown?” After the speech, Acheson picked up a suggestion by Senator Vandenberg that a committee of prominent Americans be appointed to push the idea. Truman didn’t like the suggestion, but Acheson argued him into it. ‘Here is a man who more than anything else wants to get the Republican’ nomination for President of the United States,’’ he told Truman, in effect. ‘‘Of his other two rivals, Governor Dewey never says anything about anything, while Senator Taft never loses an opportunity to attack you on domestic issues and crab at you on foreign policy. Vandenberg has played the game. very well on bipartisan policy, and you ought to agree to his idea in order to keep him sweet.” Hoover, Baruch Out The President did agree, and a meeting was held to appoint members of a committee to serve under secretary of commerce Harriman. Vandenberg was present. Acheson said he didn’t care who was on the committee just so long as Herbert Hoover and Bernard Baruch were not, 9 Vandenberg, however, looking over the suggested names, said he had nothing against them, but that what the committee needed was:an elder statesman as chairman. ¥ INTRODUCING “OPPORTUNITY DRIVE” .. The national capital’s famed. and historic Pennsylvania avenue is changing its name—temporarily—to Opportunity Drive. The purpose of this move is to aid the U. 8. treasury’s savings bond drive. In the photo, Miss Rachael Hudson, from the office of Sen, Alex Wiley of Wisconsin, poses with new name signs to be installed during the ’49er Opportunity Bond Drive. TOPS IN TELEVISION .. Lodged on the pinnacle of New York’s skyscraping RCA building, like a translucent bubble in the metropolitan air, is the new NBC television plexiglass radome housing receiving equipment for television. It’s all-weather proof—cool in summer, warm in winter —as video star Kyle MacDonnell can attest after inspecting the ‘‘dish’’ which seryes as a receiving antenna. FAVORITES OF FATHER TIME . « Luke Appling, ancient but able shortstop of the Chicago White Sox, takes a lesson on how to play his “position from Willie Hoppe, billiard wonder, who was a world champion before Appling was born. Still the world’s three cushion titleholder, Hoppe won his first world’s crown in January, 1906. Luscious Luke Appling has been with the Sox for 10 years, and is still going strong. euaacuee 80s Ce ' 5 BY THE LIGHT OF THE FLASH BOMB.. This is how Manhattan © Island’s lower tip looked under the light of a series of 50-millioncandlepower flares dropped by the U. S. air force to test its new system of night photography. This picture was taken from Governor’s Island. The jagged silhouette of the sentry at the left was caused. by different angles of illumination coming from flares which were dropped three seconds apart as the plane went up the river. ‘yields is a matter of feeding the 41 Per Cent of Land In U. S. in Herbage Grass Top Resource, Cattlemen Assert — Grass is one of the greatest re sources of this nation. In the United States there are approximately 779 million acres of land which will grow nothing but hay, grass, and other herbage unfit for human consumption. This great acreage represents . 41 per cent of the total land of the nation, About 9 per cent of the lands in the United States are, plowable but are used also to produce pasture, hay or forage crops. It can be concluded, therefore, that about 50 per cent of the United States would not be used if it were not for meat animals. This little fellow, obviously so well-started in life, is symbolical of what good pasturage can mean to cattle and_ just how much cattle depend on grass. In the United States there are approximately 1779 million acres of land which cannot grow anything but hay, grass and other herbage. Of the total feeds consumed by beef cattle 78.7 per cent is grass, hay and dry roughage. A minimum of grain is needed to bring feeder . . steers from 700 pounds to 1,000 pounds when the principal part of the ration is made up of hay, ensilage or other roughage. The process of producing beef cattle normally involves the following steps: 1. The purebred ‘operator who produces the sires and females which are the foundation of beef animal production. This branch of the cattle industry is one that requires heavy investment and efficiency in management. 2. The commercial breeder who produces the calves which are the offspring of commercial herds of female and purebred sires. 3. The pasture cattleman who grows the animal from the weaning or yearling stage to two years old, taking his profit from the poundage gained on grass and hay. 4. The feeder who “‘finishes’’ the animal from grass stage to slaughter condition, disposing of a large percentage of roughage. Crop Rotation BUMPER YIELDS df pRooucing =! PJ CAPACITY gy Crop rotation with deep-rooted legumes, plant food and good management methods are the. ‘“‘gas, oil and lubricants’ that keep your soil’s crop producing tnachine going on high. Each of these has a job to do. Each needs help from the others. They all have to work like a team. Valuable as a good rotation is in ‘balancing soil-building legume
crops against soil-robbing row crops, it has to be backed up by wise land management methods. Cropping in even the best rotation drains the soil’s supply of phosphate and potash. And even if your good management program puts back every . scrap of barnyard manure,_ plows . under the legumes and_ returns} straw, corn stalks and crop aftermath to the soil, you still ship away hundreds of pounds of plant food in the grain, beef and milk you sell every year. Good Pasture Increases Dairy Herd Production With 2.5 million fewer cows on farms now than in 1945, possibilities for profit in dairying are greater if labor-saving, high value pasture is the center of the production program. Good pasture ean increase milk output and cut production costs. That means a bigger profit margin. Getting bigger pasture soil plant nutrients so it can feed legume grass mixtures, Sportsmen Optimists From the cane-and-pole angler of the rural ponds, rivers and small streams, to the fishermen wha whip famous trout and salmon, streams with the best of eqnuipment, Americans by the millions will be fishing this year as they have for so many years—but their numbers will be larger in 1949. Each year the increase in the number of’ anglers brings added wrinkles to the brows of state conservation directors, who worry lest the supply of fish and game ultimately fail all sportsmen. Of all the things that worry sportsmen, that appears to be one that deters them not; for no matter how they gripe about lack of favorite fish or game, they are always back next season, trying harder than ever to “bring home the bacon’’— and were a statue ever carved to -the world’s one real optimist, it would have to be a composite figure of a rabid American, clutching both rod and gun and with the light of determination and faith shining ;. from his eyes, even if it were only reflected from the polished gun butt or the gleam of awnew fishing reel. we * * " These Get Away At Beaufort, N. C., these — small fish wiggle their way to safety through strands of Guthrie net—a new selective type of net which brings up shrimps and usable fish and lets other types of sea life work its way back to freedom. The net is a snood-like attachment of oversize mesh, hard-twine net interlaced with soft twine strings attached to central part of regulation shrimp net. A U.S. fishery biological laboratory expert estimated this net would save billions of fish from destruction. s 1 ot Rough Fish Trapped. Iowa is showing the way, somewhat, to other state conservation agencies through its program of trapping carp and buffalo and other rough fish, as a supplement to the tedious, expensive seining program now in effect. Fourteen large fish traps on nine major lakes have been installed by the Iowa state conservation commission to trap rough fish. The traps are installed at the mouths of bays where fish enter to spawn. Although the spawning season was barely underway when this report was made, large catches of carp and buffalo were recorded. ae ve . What Color Choice? The age-old controversy as to whether fish show a color preference in choice of lures is one that probably never will be settled to the general satisfaction of anglers. But the fact that black as an attractive color is effective is coming from many sources. Certain it is that black plugs will take more fish on certain days and under certain water conditions than any other color, and the Louis Johnson company, creators of the Johnson 2 “silver minnow,” has reported excellent results with its new . all-black spoon shown here. Tests of the spoon -have_ disclosed that it is particularly good . both in early morning and late evening, and also for cloudy-day fishing. e Apparently its hue gives it the appearance of a ‘‘silhouette’’ in the water because of lack of adequate light, and the tricky action of the lure adds sufficiently to the deception. cs Great Fishing Hole Idaho, where 6,500 streams and 1,763 lakes are draped over a mountain landscape, is fast becoming one of America’s greatest fishing holes. More than 30,000 non-resident anglers joined some 170,000 Idaho citizens in luring the big ones during 1948. The general season this year will extend through October and the bag limit each day is 20 fish, or 10 pounds and one fish. One of Idaho’s best bargains is the $3 vacationist fishing permit, * TeV ise Tuesday, June 28, 1949-5 _ Easy 16 Duaitu OU CAN solve your bird-hous+ ing. problem very easily by building the Bluebird House No. 110, illustrated above.
