Sherman, U. -S. battleship “is still a very importnat Vitae: tor in ‘Wayal/ warfare,” especially ‘in com: ined operations, but the aircraft carrier Has now definitely become the “ship of the line.” + Admiral Sherman says that the Unit- ed States and British fleets aré ‘slowly switching. from battleships and cruisers to dircraft carriers and small, fast ships, with higher fire power. He was satisfied, he said, with the quality of Navy aviation but not with the quantity. i The views expressed by the Admiral probably coincide with the developments ofodern naval warfare. While the bat- tlegiiip has reigned supreme for many cen- turfes, in various forms, and with varying armaments, it found its usefulness was @hief of Naval. Operations, says that} thejf E. C. A, DOES WELL 1 The Economic Cooperation Adminis- , tration, set up to administer the Mar- i shall Plan some two years ago, reports that i the program will cost the United States about $13,000,000,000 by June 30, 1952, when it is scheduled to come to an end. In the first year of aid, 1948-49, about $5,000,000,000 was expended, including the special appropriation for Germany. In the second year the amount was ap- proximately $4,200,000,000. In the pres- ent year about $3,000,000,000 is involved in appropriations now before Congress. The record shows that, without Con- gressional_ action in the name of economy, the expenditures under the program les- sen each year. Naturally, one has a right to ask what has been accomplished by the $9,000,000,000 spent during the first two ‘s. Here is the picture: rance, Italy and Greece were threat- ened with Communist-dominated gov- ernments two years ago but the peril has been greatly reduced. Industrial production in western Eu- rope is from 15 to 30 per cent above pre- war levels. The time for this, since the end of the war, is three years; after the first World War it took seven years for this area to equal its prewar production. While Europeans are not as well fed as Americans there is an adequate diet with the threat of mass starvation definite- ly removed.

Trade between western European na- tions is almost back to prewar levels but less is flowing to countries behind the Tron Curtain and exports to North Amer- ica have been increased thirty per cent in the two years. The general purposes of the so-called Marshall Plan was to rebuild the shatter- ed economy of Europe, after the most de- structive war in history, and to avert an economic collapse; to help establish a self-supporting Europe to complement a prosperous United States and to improve social and political conditions so that free institutions would regain their strength and words come frém an’ economist who Says that the-income tax. is becoming a family MU ETTER CHANCE FOR LIFE jelnfant mortality in the United State ached an all-time low in 1948, accord- ing. to statisti¢s of the Public Health Ser- rviee, which show that only thirty-two out of eyery ‘one thousand babies died during their first yedr. This compares with 64.6 in 1930 and indicates the great progress made in the care and health of babies. While the same figures do not apply to Monroe County, the probability is that an equal improvement has been made locally in connection with the health of babies, Certainly, a child born in this coun- ty in 1950 has a much greater chance of surviving to adult life than one born when the present century began. This improvement in the handling of blunted during World War II by the oper- | birth: andthe treatment of diseases of ations of carrier-based planes | Nevertheless, in the recent conflict, the battleship acquired an unprecedented importance in connection with combined operations, involving landing on hostile shores. Time and again, the floating forts were used to batter land defenses and pave the way for a successful assault. “NONE. . ‘HAVE BEEN PROVEN” ; Senator Henry Cabot Lodge, Jr., sug- gests that a twelve-man commission be established to investigate the presence of allgéged Communists in governmental em- ployment, saying that the matter should be taken out of the hands of the subcom- mittee of which he is a member. the infant is largely responsible for the increased life span that we hear about, While men and women probably live only a few. years longer than they did some dec- ades ago, the little child who-comes into the world finds that everybody is concern- ed about its advent and its wellbeing.
