A BIBLE THOUGHT FOR TODAY
No matter how reasonable some formula of life sounds,
it is worthless if it does not work out happily and successfully
in life Our faith has stood up for two or three thousand
years We should hold fast to it till something else has stood
the test of human experience—I Thessolomans 2 15: Prove
all things, hold fost that which is good.

ACCOMPANYING map reveals the amli-
' * turns 1948 program of the state highway
commission. Legend above explains the
type of Improvements the commission con-
templates. The program calls for an esti-
mated expenditure of state and federal
funds of $44,805,103.81. State Highway Di-
rector H. E. Bailey says.
Commissioner Bob Biles, representing
this congressional district, describes the
program as the largest 1-year outline of
highway improvement action in the his-
tory of the state.
The federal aid construction program,
contingent upon Public Roads Administra-
tion approval, calls for an expenditure of
$15,099,600 including $8,505,283 state and
$6,594,317 federal funds. It is the largest
single item in the contemplated work
Projects to be undertaken with state
funds only are estimated at $2,762,880, bi-
tuminous maintenance, $2,145,854, gravel
maintenance $997,962.25, concrete pavement
repairs $349,547.

pleted.
The post war construction program is
made up ot program projects not under
contract. The proposed expenditure of $4,-
413.856.73.includes SI.969,444.75 state and
$2,444,411 98 federal funds.
It is also subject to PRA approval.
The post war urban improvement pro-
gram is likewise continent upon PRA ap-
proval. It sets the state’s share as S3.292,-
472 40 and the federal share as $3,967,311.60.
In announcing the program Director
Bailey emphasized that the commissioner*
realize many needed projects are not in-
cluded. "They will be added later," he says
"They will be included in our 1949 pro-
gram now in the process of being formu-
lated. We anticipate we will be able to
release the first supplement and submit
the proposals to the Public Roads Ad-
ministration for approval by July 1.
The director also pointed out that the
huge program does not include any farm-
to-market road or bridge building.
Wolloct Gravest Threat,
Belief of Top Democrats
Latest Steel Price Jump
May Bring Senate Actionl
Specitl to Central Press
WASHINGTON—The Democratic high command regards the
W third party candidacy of Henry A. Wallace as the gravest
threat to President Truman's chances for re-election
Democratic National Chairman Howard McGrath feels that thei
revolt of the South over Mr Truman's anti-Jim Crow proposals wlllj
blow over At most, he is convinced, the rebellion will be suffl-1
clently scattered to have little effect on the electoral votes of the
South.
However, the staggering Wallace victory in the Bronx, a nor-
mally Democratic district, which carried Wallace-
backed Leo Isncson into the House, ended any
hope that Wallace can be laughed off.
The announcement by banjo-strumming Senator
Glen H. Taylor (D). Idaho, that he will be Wal-
lace's running mate on a "Progressive" ticket
also slammed the door in the face of McGrath's
appeasement efforts.
The Idaho senator made his announcement less
than a week after McGrath had appealed to non-
Communlst backers of Wallace to return to the
party fold.
Indication of the Democratic feeling U
_ _____ McGrath's refusal to do anything about the south-
Henry A. Wallace Nil protests against the anti-Jim Crow bills. At
the same time he stands ready to welcome
Wallace and his followers if they will make- face-saving concessions.
The concessions are highly Improbable, and the Democrats fear
that the Wallace vale might swing New York and California to the
Republicans. These states are most Important in a close election.

• STEEL INCREASE MAY FORCE LEGISLATION—Because of
the recent increase in steel prices, a fight will be made in the Senate
to restore to the independent offices appropriation bill an item of
$186,000 to enable the Federal Trade Commission to make an Inves-
tigation of price fixing by Industry
The Item was stricken from the blllion-dollar bill when it passed
the House. It was recommended by President Truman.
Senator Joseph C. O Mnhoney (D), Wyoming, has announced he
h4 1 ............
will attempt to have th« investigating funds restored to the bill in
the Senate.
Another effect of the steel price Increase will be to revive agita-
tion for an exceas profits tax on corporations. It Is generally con-
ceded. however, that this will get nowhere
The hearing by the joint economic committee on ateel price in-
creases amounts to little more than explanations by steel execu-
tives. The committee has no plans for searching Investigations Into
the matter.

• NEW SUPERSONIC PLANE—The latest In a line of supersonic
airplanes which are gradually pushing aircraft speeds to new, sen-
sational high marks will be delivered to the United States Air Force
In a few months.
It Is the Bell XS-2. It has swept-back wings and Is made of
stainless steel. The XS-1. rocket-propelled "daddy" of sound-speed
planes, which Is launched from the belly of a bomber. Is the craft
which, according to an aviation magazine, has already flown faster
than the 762-mlle-an-hour speed of sound.
The Air Force has never confirmed the magazine article which
touched off a federal Investigation of security
practices.
Planes Nos. 2 and 3 In the series—the Douglas
Skystreak and Skyrocket—continue to make high
speed flights at the USAF base at Muroc Dry Lake.
Cal. The Skystreak holds the official world speed
record of 650 miles per hour.
The XS-1 is rocket-propelled, as will be the XS-2. The Douglas
craft are Jet-propelled.
It was learned recently that the first jet plane to fly was not the
highly publicized Italian Capronl-Camplnl in 1940, but the Germa.i
Helnkel HE-178, on Aug 27, 1939—a year before the Capront.

petroleum industry said, nearly two
barrels of oil reserves must be found
for every barrel taken out of the
ground at least through 1950.
And to accomplish this, It added.
It will have to have about one-sixth
of the country's finished steel out-
put for the next 18 months In order
to expand drilling, production,
transportation, distribution and
storage.
Tht sp estimates were disclosed in
a 100-page survey prepared by the
National Petroleum Council which
represents major segments of the
Industry. The report was made
under the republican anti-inflation

Italy Police Recover

Nation Needing
New Oil Reserve
WASHINGTON, March 20. (U Pi-
Oilmen said today that at the rate
this country is burning up patro-
leum it had better find some new
leseryes—quick.
To prevent serious shortages, the
ROME (UP'—Police have recover-
ed four priceless Latin manuscripts
by St. Augustine, which had been
stolen from the Calci Chartres*,
near Pisa, last Septemoer
The manuscripts include St Au-
gustine’s diary, a commentary of
the Ocwpel of St. John and an ex-
position of the Book of Exodus. The
manuscripts, dating to the 12th
century, were stolen by a Hunga-
rian student, Mandnr Ziran.1v, 26.
who was given shelter in the Char-
tress by the monks.
A big slice of the state highway
commission's 1948 federal and state
aid highway Improvement programs
will be devoted to this county.
The federal aid program con-
templates an estimated expenditure
of $15 099.600 made up of $8,505,283
stale and $6,594,317 federal funds.
State aid project* financed ex-
clusively with state funds total
$2,762,809.
They are Included In the
most ambitious and biggest road
building program ever adopted in
any one year in this state, says II
E Built,, state highway director.
A total of $44,805,103.81 is in-
volved In the 1948 over-all set up
of construction, maintenance, re-
pairs and urban projects.
The giant undertaking Includes
scores of projects designated at re-
cent congressional district meet-
ings by citizens as their most piec-
ing road needs.
In announcing the details of
the program Director Hailey spe-
cifically pointed out that the com-
missioners realized many needed
projects are not included.
"They will be Included." he says,
"In our 1949 program that Is al-
ieady well underway. He antici-
pates we will be able to announce
the first supplementary part and
have it before the Public Roads Ad-
ministration for approval by July 1."
The director also made it clear
that no part of the 1948 program
contains any farin-to-market road
and U.idge construct! >n.
The maintenance programs in-
clude funds hit hardest by the long
spell o! record breaking winter
west t hue.
The commissioners. Director
Hailey says, have usrd the utmost
caution lo select Improvements
that link up more than one county
and this gives greater continuous
mileage on improved transporta-
tion facilities.
In addition to the federal and
state aid work the program calls
for $11,775.619 49 post war construc-
tion financed with $5,513,894.73
state and $6216,724 76 federal funds.
Some of these projects are either
already under cons ruction or in
the process of completion.
Another post war construction
plan is contemplated at an estimat-
ed cost of $4,413.85673 All of this
work has been programmed and is
awaiting contract. The jobs are
financed with $1,969,444.74 state
and $2 444.411 98 federal.
In addition the program calls for
$3,292,472.40 state and $3,967,311.60
frderal or a total of $7,259,784 for
urban projects within cities of
5.000 or more population.
The commission has fixed $2,145.-
854 for bituminous road mainten-
ance. $997.962 25 for gravel road
maintenance and $349,547 for con-
crete road maintenance.

OIL IS SAID to calm troubled
water*. Oil is indeed the key to
j a good many problems, inter-
national and national. Right now
I there is not enough oil for all who
j want to conslime oil in this
; country, and some domestic
. waters are not calmed. Some of
; you have come smack up against
I this shortage of petroleum pro-
duct*. I hope you are not among
those who have had the poor
judgment to call for government
rationing and control. _
I have said in an earlier column
that it w'gs government bungling,
along with the wastage of war,
that laid the ground work for our
current trouble in the petroleum
industry. The result — our short-
age of fuel and gasoline — is
here. Now, there are those folks
who get frightened, not having
the long view of things, every
time a slight economic dislocation
rear* its head. These folks usually
holler for the government to do
something.
Who'»To OR THEY blame in-
Blame? A dustry. In this in-
^ - •* stance the oil indus-.
try is no more to blame than you’
are. In fact, you are probably
more to blame, especially if you
are one of nearly a million house-
holders who have installed oil
heating since 1941. Or if you have
anything to do with the almost
SH million increase in ni"tor
vehicle registration since 1941.
.There arc 35 per cent more trucks
, on the road than before the war.
i They haul food to you that is
rg|own on farms almost 100 per
cent more mechanized than in
341. g - „ •
Jt All these things take oil. Rail-
'roads used 42 per cent more diesel
fuel in 1947 than in the year be-
fore. Our greatly stepped-up in-
dustrial grow th has been powered
by oil and lubricated by petroleum
products. Oil and gas have
emerged as the main source of
industrial energy. In 1920, coal
accounted for 78 per cent of the
total energy produced in this
country, oil and gas 19 per cent.
In 1946 it was: coal, 47 per cent;
oil and gas, 47 per cent. (The
miners’ Mr. Lewis please note.)
(
What You j THE OIL industry
Can Do 4 is therefore produc-
• • ing at top speed.
Present output of the industry is
more than the whole world re-
quired tan years ago. The demand
is. estimated by some oil men to
be growing at the rate of 8 per
cent a year! This is the kind of
wituation that government inter-
ference and price control can
never cure! ^
Demand is a fine thing, for the
whole industry. But there are
problem*. Oil men tell me it cost*
three times as much to put up a
modem refinery as it did in 1936.
Thvy say total exploration costs
are about four times those of ten
years ago, and wildcat wells cost
(per barrel discovered) five or six
times what they used to. Then, of
course, there’s the problem of
whether they can get the steel or
materials at- all. ^ ^
If you ore an oil consumer, you
can help get the country through i
this crisis. You can do it by prac-;
ticing honest-to-goodness Scotch
economy this winter. This volun-1
tary way will prevent government1
intervention and rationing, which
would only make matters worse. J
Rationing would bring hoarding

WASHINGTON. Mar:h 20 <UR>—
Everything was progressing sort of
ho-humlsnlv in room 1334 of the
old house office building
The interstate and foreign cum-
mer .e committee of the house was
considering H R 4a8z. That s a o.u
directing the weather bureau to
conduct experiments in making rain
fall when the rain doesn't want to.
Tne committee, it should be stated,
couldn't have picked a nicer day for
it. Washington was bathing under
a spring sun which burst in warm
streaks through the green curtains
of 1334.
A bright young scientist from
General Electric, the first witness,
told about some experiments his
company had performed. Mostly
about dropping hunks of dry ice
into clouds and making them send
down showers.
The committee thanked the G. E.
man very much, questiohedgnm far
a few minutes and then caned the
next witness—Dr. F M. Rei'held-
8i fe., the boss of the federal wea-
ther bureau.
The doctor is a pleasant baldish
man who knows his weather vanes.
A,kind of a weatherman's weather-
man. He read a prepared statement
in wh.ch he said the government
hadn't had quite as much luck in
making the rains come as G. E.
Sometimes, he said, his men man*
aged to wet a siaewaix anu again
they didn't.
What he wanted to emphasize,
though, said Dr. Reichelderter, was
the importance of continuing the
experiment. It isn't possible yet to
bieak up a crougnt, ne said, tor tnc
simple reason that you can’t make
it rain without clouds. And the
skies over the parched areas are
always clear. Maybe it'll all be
worked out some day.
The bill calls for the expenditure
of hall a million dollars for the
next fiscal year. The doctor men-
tioned the figure and the committee
perked. Then the weather man let
'em have it.
At the present time, he said,
about $65,000 a year is being spent;
that is, that much is charged to
the weather bureau except lor the
probable need for udd.t.onal air-
craft for flight laboratory purposes,
he added, his people didn’t think
they'll need a great deal more.
' Frankly," he said, "I don’t think
we need as much as $500,000."
You should have seen that com-
mittee!! E/e brows lifted and ears
were cupped.
Rep. Dwight L. Rogers of Florida,
said:
"I beg your pardon, sir, will you
repeat that statement?"
Dr. Reichelderfer adjusted his
eye glasses and said it again.
"This man." shouted the gentle-
man from Honda, deserves some
kind of a citation. This .s the first
time in history—that I know of—
where a witness complained because
a proposed allotment was too high."
The committee didn't recover
from the shock for some minutes.
Then, Rep. Bob Hale of Maine
said he understood there was the
possibility of legal action if the
government, in making it rain, scor-
ed a hit on the wrong field. Say on
the land of a farmer whose crops
didn't need ram. Could the guy wno
had ordered the rail} charge his
neighbor with shower stealing?
The weather man said, well, his
bus ness was weather and the com-
mittee would have tp ask some
lawyer about that.
Rep. William Miller of Connecti-
cut said he guessed he was Just a
reactionary at heart. But he said
that he always thought that when
the Lord wanted it to rain he made

TULSA, Marcn 20. (U.R)—Authori-
ties today tried to learn who caused
$3,550 worth of damage to two naval
reserve landing craft here, and a
sheriff's aide said if juvenile vandals
were responsible, their parents
would have to pay.
The Tulsa organized naval re-
serve reported the craft at the fair-
grounds had been stripped of every-
thing moveable, including two $1,500
compasses, ana that other instru-
ments had been smashed.
The boats were to have been plac-
ed on Mohawk lake last summer for
use in training naval reservists, but
because of a drought this was im-
possible. Meanwhile, they were
placed at the fairgrounds back of a
naval armory under construction
pending transportation to the Purt
Gibson lake.
Sheriff's deputy A. H. Henshall
said nothing taken from the craft
could be sold and he believed teen-
age vandals were responsible.
He declared parents would be re-
quired to pay for the damage.
Heavy housing for engines were
among items thrown out of the
boats. Engines had been taken
apart and hammered up. A 25-
pound block of cement was used to
accomplish part of the destruction.
Henshall said it would lake sev-
eral good sized boys to remove the
engine housings.

WASHINGTON. March 20. (U.R>-
Your congress has done about every-
thing to control the starling menace
here and elsewhere—except pass a
law. And it may do that.
It's a measure that would allow
a man to up and shoot one of the
black, feather./ pests just for the
luck of It. And good riddance.
Cusodians of the various stone
buildings around the capital have
tried all means of fighting the birds.
Small boys were hired to march,
picket-like, holding up long poles,
on top were stuffed owls and funny
faces painted on squares of card-
board. It's hard to scare a starling.
The birds seemed to like it ana
rested on the ears of the owls and
leered clown at the small boys.
Union station here even tried
placing phony eagles atop their
building—but the starlings seemed
to like that too.
Dr. Lytle S. Adams of Irwin. Pa.,
a fa mouse conservationis., appear-
ed before the house committee on
health, etc., with a revolutionary
idea recently. Starling birth con-
trol. Shocking, but practical. Dr.
Adams' plan was to place pans of
grain, footing ui oil, around nesting
grounds at the breeding season.
Mama starling, he reasoned, would
catch oil on har leathers while bob-
bing for a kernai of corn—and even
at these grain prices it would be
worth the trouble. Then she’d go
home to sit on her eggs, dripping goo
on same. The oil. the doctor thought
would get into the pores of the eggs
and the eggs wouldn't hacth. They
tried it. and so far as can be de-
termined there are Just as many
starlings as ever. Moie. maybe. The
birds are still messing things up and
making more noise than all of the

gether.
