Tth Ofate Ottufcl Less than nine years ago American boys wertj fighting and dying In a ghastly war against the Japanese in the Far Pacific. Last week the United Slates and Japan entered into a mutual defease pact or treaty which will cost tills country at least $100 million in the next three months, nnd untold millions in the future. Nine years ago Russia was our ally in World War II. Today we arc spending billions to defend our­ selves against the threat of Soviet Russia and the Chinese Reds, who past American officials put in power through the betrayal of a faithful ally, Clilang Kai-Shek. Mo wonder many people of other countries think Americans are stupid. • « • • $ Grave concern is developing here in Washington over numerous recent attacks by Communist forces against the bases in lndo-China where several hundred American '‘military technical experts" are located. There is a feeling tluit if any of the Americans now assigned to Indo- Chinn are killed in one of these attacks, we may become Involved in that war militarily, os well as technically. ♦ • • A # The Department of Agriculture announced last week that the Fed­ eral Government has in storage 549 million bushels of wheat, cither purchased, or field as security for loans, under the price support program. This Is 50 million more bushels of wlieat than consumed in the U. S. lor food purposes during the entire year of 1953, If the Senate and the President approve a bill which passed the .House last week by a vote of 211 to 3, the American people will have their tuxes reduced by $912 million a year. The measure reduces all present Federal excise taxes to 10 per cent, except those on liquors, tobaccos, automobiles, and automobile accessories, which are extended for one year, * • • * * B The Senate last week passed a bill previously approved by the House to authorize the establishment and construction of an Air Force Academy similar to West Point and Annapolis, The measure was amended In tht Senate so as to limit U»e cost of the new academy to IlM million. The bill now goes to a conference committee to work out the differences between the House and Senate versions. The special committee which has luid under study security require* mcnls for Capitol Hill, ever since the Puerto Rican fanatics wounded five Representatives on the Floor of the House two weeks ago, is expected to soon recommend a complete revamping of the Capitol Police Cot p» ia match the White House security force, A general "tightening up" on Capitol Hill Is «Uo expected for the protection of the nations law­ makers. • » « 6 * In a speech before the National Press Club here last week, former President Hoover, Chairman of the Commission on Reorganization of the Government (created by legislation written by yotir reporter), told his listeners that from five to seven billion dollars a year can be saved In the cost of Government operations If the Commission's recommenda­ tions are put Into effect by Congress and the Executive Branch. Savings of more than $2.6 billion a year In Government costs arc now being made ns a result of the recommendations of the first Hoover Commission already put In effect.

The gross blend price for Feb­ ruary, (1954) for Grade A milk testing 3.5% butterfut, was $4.29 per hundredweight, which repres­ ented a drop of G4c per cwt. from the blend price paid the producers in December, 1953, The February blend prlfcc was the equivalent of 37o per gallon, at the farm. Mapp explained the drop in prod­ ucer price was the result of several factors operating in the market at this time. First, the supply-demand formula, which is a provision of the federal milk order for this area, caused a drop of 20c per cwt. in bottled milk and cream. And sec­ ondly, the increase in milk produc­ tion in the area necessitated a greater percentage of the total re­ ceipts being used in Class III, or for manufacturing purposes — at a lower Class'price. :He said that milk production in the market area Increased 12.7% over" February one year ago. The number of producers selling milk in the area decreased slightly from called on to manufacture large but this was offset by an increase in production of 5% per shipper In February, Fluid milk sales In the area in­ creased about 10%% over one year ;ago, a trend which was evidenced ROVIN' m $< 4 /, .%/< . . . on June 1st. blanks aro now available at the t ______ S 5 . - £ £ S T S i ?

Greenc CountJr *■?» Bureau mct a \ ment put Into aw before the end of the home of Mr. and Mrs. Willard Did you ever wonder why the Communists . . . social­ ists . . . and fellow-travelers descended on Antioch College like vultures and in such great numbers? . . . did you ever wonder why people who signed Communist nominat­ ing petitions were operating in the Antioch College area ? , . . And have you been puzzled as to why Dr. Arthur Steinberg . . . the “Mr. X” of the notorious Gouzenko spy case * . , and his wife could find sanctuary and em­ ployment on the faculty of Antioch College? . . . And have you wondered why so many “strange characters" were to be found in the peace and quiet of rural Greene County? As soon as we round up a few “loose ends” we'll give you a big part of the answers to these questions. We are convinced . . , and we believe you’ll also be convinced . . . that the1Antioch situation deserves and demands a full-scale Congressional investigation. Great pressure will be exerted to prevent the ex­ posure of the cozy and viciously dangerous situation which the Communists and their fellow-travelers have so firmly entrenched at Antioch College during the past twenty years. The full influence of every pro-American in this area will be needed to counteract the pressure which will be brought to bear. There will be hypocritical screams of “Witch-hunt” . , . “menace to academic freedom” and all the usual “smoke-screen” devices the Reds . . . fellow- travelers . . . and fake liberals drag out whenever anyone gets within shouting distance of the truth about their conspiracy to destroy our freedom. They’ll certainly fight tooth-and-nail to save their valuable cell at Antioch . . . or has it been priceless?
