America meeting in St. Louis two weeks ago and, needless to add, earned the applause of his audience. The Secretary, as a guest speaker before the AFA, also praised advertising for its contribution to a better standard of living; rapped those critics of advertising “who think advertising should be dispensed with during the mobilization effort . advertising is an essential part of our business operation and as long as that operation continues at high gear, vigorous advertising should continue to be a part of it.” While we like what Mr. Sawye “The businessman knows knoy are tising, we are even more impressed by that first state- 1 ment.

Peace Overtures It is no longer a secret that U. S. delegates to the United Nations have been working with other U. N. members for some time on a Korean truce proposal and that Comrade Malik jumped the gun on them. ‘The most important i discussions, however, has not leak- ed out—namely, the differences of opinion regarding two highly con- troversial poin 1. Disposition of Formosa; and 2. Seating the Chin- ese Reds in the United Nations. The U. S. proposal, discussed with 15 other U. N nations' by U. S. Ambassador Ernest Gross, was to postpone any consideration of Formosa or seating the Reds un- til after all other conditions had been ironed out. The State Depart- ment was completely adament on this, and maintained that we would not discuss these two points ev until: 1. The whole Korean ques- tion. had been set 2.

The above terms were somewhat similar to those which Pres. Tru- man sent to General MacArthur for his perusal just before Easter and which MacArthur subsequent- | ly issued as his own.

Since January 1950 cattle pric- es have gone up 53 per cent while the prices paid by farmers have gone up only 13 per cent. 2. If Congress permits Di Salle's proposed rollbacks, beef—even after all rollbacks—will still be selling higher than in any year prior to Korea. Previous all-time high was $22.40 per hundred pounds. After rollbacks it would be $24. 3. While cattle prices went up 53 per cent, wages of manufacturing workers rose only 106 per cent since January '50. The level of consumer prices in the same period went up only 9.7 per cent. The price of cattle in the last eighteen months has risen three times more than the price of food !items, four times as much as the prices paid by farmers and more than five times wages of manufacturing workers. 4. The middlemen who feed cat- tle for the packer and thus produce they don’t have enough “incentive” under the proposed rollbacks. Real fact is, however, that even after the rollbacks the cattle feeders will make an average profit of $40 per animal. And for the past been quite content with an average profit of $22.91 per head. NOTE—Mike Di Salle is now ask- ling: how much cattlemen need? COMMIE SHORE BATTERY FIRING ON U.S. WARSHIP TOKYO, June 29 —(P— Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Forest P.
