THE FAR EAST POLITICAL CONFERENCE The United Nations met recently to plan for the Far Eastern political conference which all peace-loving citi- zens hope will resolve the Korean issue without further bloodshed. South Korean President Syngman Rhee has announced he would give the political conference ninety days to solve the Korean problem, after which time his dglegates would walk out. The United States has indicated it would walk out . with the South Korean delegates if the Communists used the conference to employ stalling tactics and for propa- ganda purposes, However, the United States has not said it would resume hostilities in Korea if the peace confer- ence did not solve the Korean problem. The Korean problem is the world’s No. 1 problem at the moment and will give some hint as to the effective- ness of the United Nations as a peace-making body. Al- though the U. N. has attempted to stop wars before, and has failed and succeeded in several tries, the record of the Far East political conference set up by the United Nations will have much to do with the future prestige of the world organization. If the majority of U. N. members exhibit a pacifist attitude and fail to make any concrete moves, while al- lowing the Communists to use the United Nations organi- zation as a propaganda sounding board, then public opin- ion in the United States might approach the attitude of, the late Senator Robert A. Taft, and other Americans, who thought that the United Nations was a great idea, with some accomplishments to its credit, but without the Power or force to solve major issues. People with no brains usually compensate with an oversized mouth, Money is only as important as you make it, after meeting the necessities. When athletics become more important than studies, the tail is running away with the dog. Traffic regulations, rigidly and impartially enfore- ed, will save lives on our streets and highways. When better newspapers are printed, more people will read them, regardless of the radio, television, etc. Crossword Puzzle ACROSS ON NATDIMITIRIE) ISIE Mm [O|OISIEID) WLITINIGHEC I] ISM IAIT| RIE| TIE O/NIE DIM I UTR OIRIE wio/O/D} R| EIRIRIOIRMMDIR] (Ei SIT!

Some companies are cutting! prices while their rivals are rais- ing them. Others can’t make up their minds. Some steel users are getting a break. Competition, which has been breaking out like a rash in that industry, leads some big com- panies to agree to pick up the freight tab from their mills to} distant points, rather than lose an} out-of-the-way customer, Although other steel companies say competition isn’t near that ‘keen yet and aren’t going along with freight absorption, the ma- jority appears headed that way. Freight absorption isn’t cutting base prices of steel, but it means ‘that some makers of autos, ap- pliances and hundreds of other items may be able to cut their| spending for detivered steel. In ithe end consumers of their prod- ucts might gain, too. Builders are getting breaks, also. ‘Some cement companies recently have started paying the freight to certain distant areas where local competition is keenest. Tire buyers aren't so lucky. Some companies are hiking prices, blaming higher prices of materials and labor, Tire inventories are' high and while the industry says it’s confident they aren't too high, they still hang over the market. Car users in a few scattered places are getting a break as gaso- line price wars flare in an attempt ito move distress gas. These stores piled up in late summer when the refineries misjudged and turned lout too much. Now crude oil pro- duction is being slashed in several states, Car prices hold fairly steady— except in the used gar lots and in ithe showrooms of foreign cars. Homemakers soon will have the benefit of price cutting of sheets by some of the big textile mills. And in the carpet industry, all is confusion. Mohawk is. raising prices on some of its wool carpet lines by around 5 per cent. It blames higher woel costs. James Lees & Sons, however, is WHEELING, W. Va. BH — A motorist has been ar-!

Cer- tainly, we all desire any easing of the individual tax burden that can be had, but there may be condi- tions under which we will forsake such action. Balancing the budget seems to be one of the conditions the “experts” failed to figure on,!
