'RUSSIA A MENACE*
Churchill Changes Tune but
Earlier Predictions Accurate
Freight Revenue
Climbs on Katy Line
DALLAS, April 1. W—The Mis-
souri - Kansas - Texas Railroad
showed a freight revenue increase
of $14,379,000 last year, stockhold-
ers were told in the annual report
issued here yesterday.
The increase brought the total
friegth income to 872.287.00 for
the year.
An exceptionally large move-
ment of crude oil contributed to
the good record, R. J. Morfa,
board chairman, and Donald V.
Fresher, president, reported.
This movement is expected to
end by mid-1949, however, the re-
port said, when a new pipeline from
Jal, N. M , to Cushing, Okla., be-
gins service.
By JAMES MARLOW
WASHINGTON, April 1. —
Winston Churchill, who only three
years ago thought Russia didn’t
want war, has changed his tunc.
In a speech st Fulton, Mo., in
1946, he said: “I do not believe So-
viet Russia desires war."
Last night in a speech at Boston
he said:
"It is certain that Europe would
have been communized and London
under bombardment some time ago
but for the deterrent of the atomic
bomb in the hands of the United
States."
Three years ago he said war with
Russia is not "inevitable.'' Last
night he said W.r with Russia
is not "inevitable."
Why does he say that now if, in
the same speech he says Russia
would have attacked already if it
were not for our atomic bomb?
You have to peel the delicate
skin off Chruchill’s oratory to find
the answer. Thre are two main but
grisly reasons:
1. If the Western powers are mili-
tary strong, Russia will be discour-
aged from attacking.
2. And the death of Joseph Stalin
may someday split the Russian
Communists or leave them without
real leadership.
Except for these things, Churc-
hill's speech last night was milder
than the one he made at Fulton
three years sgo.
In the Fulton talk he called Rus-
sia a menace. And he urged the
Western nations to form a united
front against their big Communist
neighbor.
3 Citrus Exchange
Executives Fired
WESLACO, April 1. (UP)—Three
executives of the Texas Citrus Ex-
change, biggest citrus cooperative
at the Lower Rio Grande Valley,
were dismissed from their posts
here yesterday.
They were A. M. Drury, general
manager: Konrad Kelley, head of
the exchange’s extension service:
and Roger Swan, head of the ad-
vertising department.
No explanation was given for the
dismissals by directors of the or-
ganization. However, Kelley said
yesterday that Drury “was not
only convicted but condemned and
That speech startled a lot of peo-
ple. It came right after the war, at
a time when there was still hope of
getting along with Russia.
Slowly, as relations with Russia
grew worse, the things Churchill
called for three years ago have
come to pass.
For i, those three years this
country, to solidify the West and
keep allies, has set up the Marshall
Plan and now is entering the At-
lantic Pact.
The spirit of the whole West to-
ward Russia in three years has
grown as hard as Winston Churc-
hill's feelings in 1946.

Wheat Poison Kills
1,000 Texas Cattle
AMARILLO. April 1 W—More
than a thousand cattle, worth
nearly a quarter of a million dol-
lars have died this spring in this
section from wheat poisoning, the
Amarillo Daily News says.
The news survey of the strange
malady included 34 counties in the
Texas and Oklahoma Panhandles
and Eastern New Mexico.
It called its estimate of 1.000 dead
“conservative."
The poisoning generally is be-
lieved caused by an unbalance of
minerals in the plants. It broke out
suddenly this year about the time
of the rapid growth of the wheat
following a mid-March warm spell
Heaviest losses appeared to be
in Deaf Smith. Castro and Randall
Counties in Texas.
Dr. Clyde O. Morgan, director
of research at Pan-Tech Farm east
of here, says 85 per cent of the
stricken cattle can be saved by
application of calcium glutinate
soon after the animals become
ill. The farm ia an experiment sta-
tion operated by Texas Technolog-
ical College and Texas A. A M.
