in said this: “Throughout the coun-
isaociations of retailers, real estate
irs, apartment house owners and so'
i have taken the lead in the attempt
id the price line ...
e retailers by and large ... are on the
of the housewife . . . Perhaps the
ewife would do lietter with the re-
nters on her side than with the govern-
JMrt”
This particular editorial was occasioned
when OPA suddenly terminated on July
L and retail groups immediately took vol-
antary and decisive action to prevent in-
flation. And, whatever the future of price
control by government may be in this
country, the vast majority of retailers in
aR fields may be counted upon to protect
the Consumers’ pocketbook to the limit
of their abilities. Retailers, large and
small, chain and independent, dealing in
everything from pins and needles to food
and motor cars, are enemies of infla-
tion.
The history of the retail industry sup-
plies the proof of this. It is a history of
constant progress, and swift advances in
, operating efficiency and economy. It is a
history of increasing business at lower
operating cost. Many of the retail dollars
you, as a consumer spend, net the seller
less than a penny of profit. And that’s one
of the reasons why the American standard
of living has been the highest in the world
for generations.
Retailers can’t perform the impossible.
They can’t for example, cdntrol prices at
the source. They can’t make up for the
inevitable price increases made necessary'
by vastly increased labor, tax and material
costs. What they can and will do is to
see that you get the goods you want at
the lowest figure compatible with eco-
nomic conditions in the country today and
tomorrow.

Keep Your Shirt On
Thus far there has been an encourag-
ing absence of hysterical and panicky
public reaction to rising food prices, per-
haps because the predictions of imminent
doom by Chester Bowles and others have-
n’t panned out. Yet there is a healthy and
natural concern over the situation which
has expressed itself in various ways, some
good and some which seem to us had.
' The best possible weapon is simply sit-
ting tight and keeping one’s shirt on. So
far the direst prophecies haven’t mater-
ialized. The very nature of the situation
— . contains the germ of solution^ Avoidance
of hoarding and of panic buying may has-
ten that solution. It certainly can’t retard

CRltS '.
By DeWITT MACKENZIE
AP. Foreign Affairs Analyst
Madame Sun Yat-sen's blunt statement yester-
day that China Is heading for disaster not only
la reminiscent of the fire and leadership of her
late husband, but is highly significant of the ter-
rible straits in which her unhappy country finds
itself. -
Madahfe Sun made the startling charge that re-
actionaries in Chiang's government party <the
Kuomintang* are striving to Incite war between
the United States and Russia in the hope that
in this way the government can crush the Chi-
nese Communists She declared that American
reactionaries are abetting Chinese reactionaries
She wants all American troops ylthdrawn from
China. She advocates that the United States stop
sending war materials and other military assist-
ance.
With this preface Madame Sun urges the for-
matlon of a coalition government between the
Kuomintang and the Communists.
It’s an Interesting coincidence that simultane-
ously the Moscow radio accused the United States
of fostering civil war In China in order to assure
economic and political dominance in the Far East
But coincidence didn’t stop there. John M
Hightower. Associated Press diplomatic reporter tn
Washington, disclosed at the week end that high
American officials had been considering a shut-
down on shipments «of arms and munitions to the
Chinese government In hope that this might as-
sist in unifying China. Report had It that large
quantities of lend-lease weapons had given the
extreme Nationalists the idea that they could
whip the Reds quickly and they wanted to have
to go at it. The generalissimo himself was said to
have come to this view.
This would mean all-out civil war and the
defeat of American policy for unification of China.
Such a development also would create delicate
problems affecting Russo-Atnerlcan relations, and
consequently the peace of the world.
These three coincidental developments provide
fertile ground for wide speculation. However, there
are outstanding points on which Uiere seems to
be agreement in important quarters in America.
China and Russia These points are: (1). China
Is riding for disaster; (2> Military supplies might
encourage the Nationalists to push the war against
the Chinese Communists; <35 All-out civil war
in China would endanger world peace
The corollary to all this, as Mme Sun Indicates,
is that "this calamity must be stopped at its be-
ginning."

They have found them using five

Well-financed gangs are running it
into Texas. New Mexico and Cali-
fornia Jobbers ship the raw prod-
uct to New York for processing, and
the peddler's product is smuggled
back into consumer channels.
A narcotics agefft told me that
right now most of It Is being found

Congressional Proposal
Would Lead Cancer Fight
Editor's Note—Thia Is the first of two stories on
the cancer problem and a congressional proposal
to do something about it.)
By JAMES MARLOW
WASHINGTON, July 23—<^>—One American
dies' of cancer ever three minutes, 20 every Hour.
Of the 135.000.000 Americans now living, 500,000
have cancer and 17,000,000 eventually will die of
ie
Which means 1 of every 8 eight Americans
living now will die of cancer.
Cancer deaths are Increasing In 1900 cancer
was 9th on the list of killers. Now it's second. Only
heart disease kills more people
About 175,000 people In this country die of can-
cer yearly.
In World War II about 273.000 Americans died
In action. In the years 1942 through 1944 about
500.000 Americans died at cancer.
These figures come from sponsors of a bill, now
in Congress, to have the government put up >100,-
000,000 to fight cancer by searching for Its cause
and cure.
The money would be spent over a number of
years, not in one year.
For the amount of money Involved, the bill is
astonishingly brief ahd vague. It Is deliberately
vague. For this reason .
It does not mention any organization—private
or governmental—as the one to receive the money
and do the Job.
It would let President Truman set up a pro-
gram for the cancer fight by calling on the world's
cancer experts for help.
This means he could call upon the specialists
of any country.
But Congress, rushing to get home in a couple
of weeks, may not find time to consider the bill
this year. Let, it seems a real effort will be made
to< get action.
A stream of witnesses—doctors. Individuals and
heads of organizations fighting cancer—went be-
fore committees of the House and Senate to back
the bill.
But committees approved it. Now It Is us to the
full House and Senate to act .
Sponsors of the bill consider $100,000,000 not
too much for the government to spend, especial-
ly since it would be spent over a number of years.
They emphasize that when this country wanted
to find an atomic bomb it pooled Its scientific
brains and came up with a quick answer.
So they think this country's best brains should
be pooled, with government help, to lick cancer.

Every Fifth St James Feast Is
Gay Day At St Ives In Cornwall
By ED CAMPBELL
<For Hal Boyle)
ST. IVES, Cornwall. England. Ju-
ly 23.-OP)-
‘ Knlll commands and all obey.
"Lads and lassies haste away;
“Aunts and uncles, maids and
wives,
“AU are gay, at gay St Ives."
The century-old tune Is being
hummed around the sitting kitch-
ens in thLs old Cornish settlement
these days as the seamen, the fish-
ermen and the tinners make ready
for their fifth-year celebration of
St. James and the spending of an-
other 44 pounds <$176) from Jo-
hannes KnlU's legacy
Knlll, once mayor, constable and
customs collector of the borough,
created In his will a perpetual an-
nuity so that from the year 1801
onward every fifth anniversary of
the feast day should find "no
tongue is mute or foot is stjll, but
one and all are on the hill."
This year the feast day falls on
July 25.
Early that morning the three
great locks on the ancient Iron
chest holding Mister KnlU's festi-
val funds will be unfastened by
the St. Ives mayor, customs col-
lector and vicar, each of whom Is
the traditional keeper of one key.
Between 10 a. m. and >oon, ten
little girls, all under the age of
ten and th| daughters of seamen,
fishermen or tinners, will report to
the committeement. Each will re-
ceive a white hair ribbon and the
sum of two shillings <40 cents) for
which “to music furnished by a fid-
dler," they will dance for 15 min-
utes around a 50-foot granite pyra-
mid erected to KnIll's memory on
Worvas Hill After the dance, the
•n must recite the One Him-
Psalm.
fiddler will be paid
pound <84> and two widows, 84 or
older, will be given a pound each
for supervising the dancing and
certifying that the-tennaof the be-
quest have been carried out. An-
other pound must be spent for the
girls' ribbons and a cockade for the
fiddler's hat.
The St. Ives parent or parents
who have reared to the age of ten
or older the greatest number of
children without parochial assist-
ance win be given another five
pounds of the day's expenditures.
Some wife, between the age cf 36
and 36 who slrice last Dec. 31 has
been deemed by the trustees to
'most worthy because of her di
and kindness to her parents or her
friends" will be awarded another
ten pounds ($40). Five pounds < >20 •
will be awarded the 8^. Ives wom-

Make Pictures Together
.By HOWARD C HEYN
HOLLYWOOD. July 23.—(4V—Screen-shunning
Alfred Lunt and Lynn Fontanne have no cause
for alarm as yet, but Cornel Wlkle has served
notice that he is anticipating the day when his
family will be billed as “The Wildes."
Cornel confided that the project may start this
autumn. Plans are being formulated for the
screen debut of his wife, Patricia. What's nfore,
the picture won't include him.
"It’s better if she starts on her own.” Cornel
said on ’The Homestretch” set. "Then, when we
do a picture together, it will be that much easier."
It might be well to point out—to the Lunts-
that the Wildes have worked together on the
stage. But collaboration on the screen Is a recent
urge with Cornel, and rather a generous one in
a town where most actors prefer that their wives
play leading lady only at home.
Comel has reason: ,
•*1. We want to work together.
• "2. It’s frustrating to keep one so beautiful
and talented away from the screen.
“3. We would have more than a few hours a
day to see each other."

Soft Punishment
The trials of military personnel accused
of beating prisoners at the American
guardhouse in Lichfield, England, drag *
on at Bad Nauheim, Germany, even
though an officer arrived there some time
ago from Washington with word from on
high.that the trials were to be hurried up
to get them over with and “out of the
papers.” And tha accounts of them, signif-
icantly meager, tontinue to make unpleas-
ant reading.
So far, since the trials were moved from’
England, one enlisted man has been ac-
quitted. An officer and five enlisted guards
have been found guilty. But there has not
been a single jail sentence given to these
six men convicted of beating prisoners or
of ordering them beaten. There has been
sickening testimony of brutality. But pun-
ishment has ranged from a reprimand to a
|250 fine.
There were serious charges, such as be-
ing AWOL during combat, against these
guardhouse prisoners. And you can’t run
an army the way you do a lawn fete.
Granted. Still, there must be other means
qf dealing with such men than the Nazi-
type cruelty brought out in the testimony.
The^e are prisoners convicted of serious
crimes in our civilian prisons, but we don’t
find it necessary to beat them. Public opin-
ion would not condone such uncivilized ac-
tions. And if they occurred, it is likely that
'the offender would receive something
worse than a scolding or a fine no bigger
than what many GIs have lost in an un-
lucky evening of crap-shooting.

dally difficult because the peddler'
are inconaplcuoui. furtive, snujli
operators and the rut cutters urr

signal the tiddler.
The bureau, headed by H. J
Analinger, pretty well knows the
sources of supply for confirmed .nar-
cotics addicts. It seems tt>e hib.lt-
forming peril of the traffic Has
moved from well-known criminal
channels to these Jive dives, where
unrestrained youths think a
"thump" or two will "send” them,
and "hot horns" in the bands use
the stuff to stay "hot.”
However, agents recently have ar-
rested 26 peddlers In the Times
Square, 52nd Street and Harlem
areas of New York. They arrested
16 in Rochester and Buffalo
In 1946 narcotics agents made 1,-
474 arrests and seized 5.052s ounces
of bulk marihuana even while
there was a relative scarcity ol the
Illicit products.
Now. they say, there is evidence
that the old "Lucky" Luciano mob
is back in operation in New York
They have obtained Indictments
against 30 narcotics vendors In the
East In the last month
The undercover men who posed
as addicts and bought from such
seasoned narcotics traffickers were
almost killed by vendors when po-
lice closed In for the arrests. <
For 40 years the United States
has led a world movement to lijnit
narcotics to medicinal needs There
have been repeated attempts to en-
force International control agree-
ments. It seems there now is over-
production of opium in war impov-
erished Oriental countries. The U
