GI's Catch Chinese Black-Marketer
Along with all the other muddle in China, a terrific black market is being conducted openly, with U.S. army goods and other scarcer commodities for sale at fantastic prices. This scene shows one of the methods used to combat it—U.S. army soldiers made a raid recently, and confiscated much of the goods in the illicit sales areas. The Chinese youth here apparently didn't like the idea at all. (NEA Telephoto)
Soil Moisture Holds Key To Grass Crops
Washington. UP)—Agriculture department soil experts are looking forward to the day when Western cattlemen can dig a hole in the ground in the autumn and forecast accurately how many cattle or sheep their range will support the following season.
Oscar K. Barnes, of the Laramie Wyo., soil conservation research division, has reported that a six-year study of soil moisture on the Western ranges disclosed a definite relationship between fall soil moisture and the ensuing year's grass crop.
Barnes said preliminary studies begun in 1940 had indicated that the moisture in the soil in the fall had more to do with next year's grass crop than rainfall during the growing season.
In 1940, he said, soil moisture was low in the fall followed by a scanty spring rainfall. The result was a serious lack of forage during the grazing season.
During 1942-43, however, the November soil moisture was high. Despite below-average rains during the growing season, he said, forage during the grazing season ran about 759 pounds to the acre—far above average.
In 1945, rainfall during the growing season was far above average yet the grass crop dipped to a below-average 471 pounds to an acre. Barnes said the answer was that soil moisture in November, 1944, was below average.
A fifth of the 65 Union College men killed in World War II were former players of Lacrosse — the oldest American game, developed by the Indians as a training measure for war.

U.S. Plans Facilities On Pacific islands, iceland
Washington. (UP)—The U.S. joint chiefs of staff plan for postwar American bases calls only for rights to use facilities on the Australian mandated island of Manus and Brit-ish islands in the Pacific, it was learned today.
American plans for Iceland call for "joint use" with Iceland of military facilities there. But as Iceland has never had an army or navy it would amount to a U.S. base, maintained and garrisoned by Americans.
American officials deny that negotiations have started with Denmark on the Greenland area.
There were more automobiles and trucks (5,358,420) manufactured in 1929 than in any year since
Limiting Sovereignty May End War--Gibson
National sovereignty must be limited if its existence is not compatible with the elimination of war, Hilden Gibson, professor of political science and sociology, declares in a recent bulletin of the bureau of Government Research.
"The scientists may be new to politics, but they are not naive," Prof. Gibson states.
"They realize that a world state cannot come into being full blown, at least not at this juncture of world history. However, we must proceed, they insist, to the solution of the most immediate problem—the internationalization of the control of atomic energy."
The bulletin, entitled "Your Government" is a summary of a series of Atomic Energy conferences which were held in eight Kansas towns and cities between April 1 and April 10, sponsored by the University. Organized by Professor Gibson and the extension division, the conferences featured nationally known atomic scientists as discussion leaders.
Whether or not this epoch which atomic energy is ushering in will be one of ruin or progress depends on the use to which atomic energy is put by the people who now possess it, the citizens of the United States, Professor Gibson writes.
The philosophy of the American Federation of Scientists on atomic energy, as reported in the bulletin, is: "There is no secret. There is no defense. There must be international control."
"Until such international authority is created, there remains the vexing problem of civilian versus military control of atomic energy in the United States. The scientists would remove the control of atomic energy from the War department and place it in the hands of a civilian commission," Professor Gibson asserts.
