The risk was slight. Extra pay already is provided for flight duty, for submarine duty and for a few especially hazardous types of service such as bomb-disposal. But it does | not cover the rugged service exacted of infantrymen, cases, | will [ will be obsolete. yet in from the harvest areas in the West.

He will take dead aim at the lazy white meat, the candied sweet potatoes and the blander vegetables, and defy their! total flavor with all the tart in his body. In truth, it is hard to think of the cranberry as not being alive, even when he reaches his point | of supmere immolation on the Christmas board. He | | still seems to be jousting furiously with all the slings | and arrows of outrageous fortune that have made him as beautifully brusque as he is. His living conditions peat, sand, freezing water—are abominable. From his earliest days, wildlife of all kinds have thirsted for his blood. Man flatters him with cranberry queens and festi ampaigns, extolls him as a native, American—before Pilgrims—all the while stealthily preparing him for gathering fork, the pro- cessing mill, and hundreds of diluting recipes that a hardy, self-respecting cranberry wouldn’t have any- thing to do with.

Days, even hours are precious when total war might be approaching, he added. “Does this mean wage and price controls?” asked Colorado’s Milli- kin. “It does,” replied the President. ‘Unhorsed Cavalryman™ Millikin, Wiley and Joe M were inclined to agree that Tru- man’s declaration was poorly timed, but Martin urged that “we forget politics and work together as Amer- icans.” When the President urged importance of the psychologi fect on the public, Senator made this observation: “One headline, one flash in the ne papers isn't enough to condition the people for the job they must shoulder in a national emergency.

How- ever, the mention was so casual that the public didn’t even notice it. During a debate on whether at- omic bombs should be used against the Chinese Communists, Sen Owen Brewster of Maine blurted: “As T understand, the bombs are | there (in Japan).” Brewster did not orate. Note — President Truman has made it clear that he wonit order the atomic bomb dropped unless Russia makes the first move.
