of Russia Congressman John Taber of New
York, chairman of the House Appropriations
Committee, says that in the first nine months
of 1947 we sent the Russians goods to the
sensational figure of $113,000,000 on Lend-
Lease The State Department’s figures do
not make so good a story, but they are, reli-
able; their sum for Lend-Lease in the same
period is $16,100,000. Also from July to Sep-
tember Russian goods sent to the United
States in general trade exceeded in value
those which we sent them in general trade,
the figures being respectively $26,500,000
and $22,800,000.
This sounds like normal trade Should we
cut off all trade whatsoever with the Soviets?
If we do, what would advocates' of the “get

MOVIE'S MAGICAL MUSIC
How Film Stars Borrow Talented Tonsils,
Highly Skilled Hands of Top Musicians
By VICTOR GUNSON
Central Press Correspondent
HOLLYWOOD — Hollywood's
musical magic has reached its
zenith. 1
Long adept at making things
appear as they aren't, the movie
makers have just won critical ac-
claim with a right-before-your-
eyes presentation of Katharine
Hepburn as a once world famous
pianiste.
Katie Hepburn never has played
1 a note in her life
. 4 However, in "Song of Love” her J
3 studio succeeded in having her
give a performance without a flaw, I

It took a long chance of having !

stein, world famous concert pian-
ist.
It wasn’t, however, an play and
no work for Miss Hepburn.
—For a solid month, under the
critical eyes of a teacher, she
practiced the fingering of Rubin-
ateins music. Hour after hour,
day after day, she went over and
over the score until, to use her
own words, “sometimes I felt that
I would scream.”

hard in my life,”. Mu

was completed ”

Although too much or too little
may work harmful effects, plants
require sunshine that the magic
process of photosynthesis may
provide their nourishment
WITHIN 48 hours, tomato plants
placed In darkness stop growing
and begin a rapid decline. Dr
Went set out to discover whether
some substitute for sunshine could
be provided.
Dr. Went tried immersing the
leaves in a 10 per cent solution
of sucrose. Within 11 hours, the
tomatoes perked up, and continued
growing taller in a blacked-out
room as long as 12 days before
giving up their struggle for life.
Although in darkness sugar
takes the place of sunlight to pro-
dure “growth in height,” the
leaves do not develop This shows
that photosynthesis is not merely
the manufacture of sugar, but
light causes the formation of other
foods every plant requires.
Success of these experiments led
the scientist down another long
tomatoes had finished their daily
task of sugar production by two
in the afternoon, light falling upon
them thereafter being wasted.
Tomato feeding demonstrated
that the plant takes up sugar
through the leaves, and not ap-
preciably through the roots Near
sundown, virtually all the sugar
formed that day is contained with-
in the leaves.
Shortly after darkness falls, the
sugar begins to infiltrate the stem.
When enough has been trans-
ferred, the plant begins growing
rapidly. Some plants start spurt.
Ing upward at sundown, others

The growth Haiti soon after sun-
rise, when the empty leaves once
more are ready to receive a new
sugar supply.
Plant physiologists find them-
selves stymied sometimes by the
very nature of the plants with
which they deal Plants possess
no circulatory or digestive systems

It would be much easier for the

compounds within plants govern
the flowering period, fruit bearing
and, in time, the enzyme processes
that bear upon all life, both ani-
