<* The Washington-Merry-Go-Round — Vets Going into Air-Freight Business Bogged Down in Government Red Tape By DREW PEARSON The Bernadotte Plan Inside story of the origin of the Bernadotte plan now has leaked out. The Bernadotte plan was developed at a highly secret meeting on the island of Rhod es just before Bernadotte was killed. Present were only four Seople—Sir John Troutbeck, ritish ambassador to Egypt; Robert McClintock, U. S. state f department official; Count Bernadotte and Dr. Ralph Bun dle, Bernadotte’s deputy. The British ambassador bluntly announced he had in structions from Foreign Min ister Belvin not to support any ■ plan unless it provided for handing over the potentially wealthy Negev area to the Arabs. Previously, the United Nat | ions had awarded the Negev to Israel, and largely because of this, State Department Re presentative McClintock refus ed to accept the Bevin propos al. McClintock described it as similar to the Grady-Morrison plan for the partition of the Holy Land which the United States had flatly rejected. Coldly. Sir John Troutbeck re plied that there would be no agreement on Palestine unless the Arabs got the Negev.

Finally, McClintock agreed to cable Washington the text of the British proposals. Significantly the Berna dotte plan never was discuss ed by the mediators with either the Israeli govern ment or the Arabs. It came directly from Bevin as the British price for the accept ance of any plan for settle ment in the Holy Land. When McClintock got word back from Washington that the state department favored Bev in’s proposal regarding the Negev, he was amazed. How ever, that’s how the so-called Bernadotte plan was born. • • * Economic Forecast Crystal-balling is a favorite indoor sport in Washington, not only with newspaper col umnists, but with government economists. However while a columnist must publicly climb out on a limb when he pre dicts the future, economists frequently can keep their fore poctc Qpprpf Right now, super-prediction on the nation’s economic out look for the next six years is reported in a top-secret file at the agriculture department. Prepared by the bureau of ag riculture economics, the for cast deals chiefly with the years 1950 through 1954. Based on the assumption there will be no war, here’s the gist of the economic forcast. Depression—There will be no major depression in the next Six years and no runaway in flation. National Income—Barring an unforseen sharp decline in em ployment during the 1950-:54 period, money available for consumer spending may aver age as high as in 1948, with purchasing power 10 per cent greater, due to lower prices. Net farm income may drop 15 per cent, however, due to low er prices and continued high production costs. Prices—A drop in consumer prices will average 10 per cent from 1948 on, during the five-year period, but the retail price level still will be more than 50 per cent above pre war years. If unemployment (now about 1,900,000) reaches 9,000,000 at any stage, retail prices may drop 20 per cent below the 1948 level. Employment—Unemployment could reach 9,000,000 but is not likely to go over 6,000,000. How ever, full employment (60,000, 000) is a “distinct possibility’’ during some and perhaps all years from 1950-’54. If product ivity per worker continues at its present rate total national production by 1952 will be 8 per cent greater than 1948. * * * Red Tape Over Air Veterans going into the air freight business are still snarl ed in red tape, can’t get gov ernment certification from the civil aeronautics board. In for mal hearings, the board has been lined up almost solidly behind the airlines which are opposing the veterans. p § a ARE YOU MISSING SOMETHING? a W No matter what you’ve been offered for your present W a car, your nearest Kaiser-Frazer dealer would like j A to tell you what he thinks it’s worth.

"Kaberfold Rosette, the Eighth." who yielded 76 pounds of milk with 4.6 butterfat content at judg ing, walked off with the title of champion dairy shorthorn cow at the annual London Dairy Show. Rosette also won four other prizes in competition. One CAB member, Harold A. Jones, was so eloquent in expressing the big airlines' point of view that the grateful American airlines' counsel, Dan Gribbon, injudiciously let slip this remark in front of everyone: "Mr. Jones, I don't think you could have put your , company's policy into better words." Jones coughed nervously, colored with embarrassment. NOTE — The air force is building up an air-cargo fleet. Yet usually astute Seth Rich ardson, counsel for Northwest announced the urgent need for airlines, testified: “This whole proceeding i s inopportune.

STROLLER PHOENIX, ARIZ., Nov. 9— One of the pleasant features about life in a city like Phoe nix is meeting people. Phoe nix is what is called a tourist city in distinction from an in dustrial city and people come here from all parts of the country to spend the Winter. The Winters in Phoenix are mild in comparison with the Winters in colder climates. I occasionally look over the dai ly weather reports and note how cold it is in cities like Sioux City. St. Paul, Des Moines, Chicago, New York, etc., while, perhaps, on the same date, tne mercury may be up in the 90s in this locali ty. In the northern part of Arizona, of course, the climate is quite different and the mer cury has already dipped to a low point this Fall. In this part of the state it never snows and seldom freezes. Well, anyway, the mild Winter climate of Phoenix at tracts people from all over the United States and even from abroad and hundreds of tourists come here during the Winter season. There are many fine hotels, inns, auto courts and other places for them to stav and they spend a great deal of money here every season. For a number of years, the writer has been connect ed with the YMCA and its cafeteria while in this city and he has been in a posi tion to meet people who live here all the time or who just come here to spend the Winter months. It has been an enjoyable experience. He has met liter ally hundreds of people from BTactically every state in the nion and some real and last ing friendships have been formed. Obviously, he has met many tourists only casu ally—perhaps they will spend the Winter here and that is all; but others have come reg ularly year after year and we* have become well acquainted. In some instances, acquaint anceship has developed into friendship and letters have been exchanged after the visitor has returned home. Christmas cards have also Deen excnangea. It is a good opportunity to meet all kinds and types of people from all over the coun try and even the world and the writer has enjoyed it im mensely. To illustrate how many peo ple come to this town during the Winter season. The Resi dents club of the YMCA holds a Christmas breakfast I every year and most of the : states are represented at it.
