There were about 200 feeder 4t pigs on the market and these sold by the dollar, so it was dif ficult to quote a price.

Good kind of steer calves hit a top of $34.00; good heifer calves ranged from $31.00 up to $32.50; yearling steers. $29.00 to $31.00; yearling heifers, $25.00 to $27.50.

Washington-Merry-Go-Round— There’s Certain Vein of Similarity About President Truman and Prime Minister Atlee Churchill Supports Attlee— There is a certain vein of simi larity running through the lives of the two men who conferred regarding the course to be fol lowed by the British and Ameri- : can governments toward future war or peace. Prime Minister Attlee and President Truman both are left of-center liberals, both have spent much of their lives in gov ernment, both have tried to work for the less-privileged sector of the British and American people. Neither is considered a strong man in his own country, neither is a man of much im agination, neither has the force, the flair, the genius of two others who conferred a great deal during the past decade — Franklin Roosevelt and Winston Churchill. However, Clement Attlee, in his quiet way and backed by a powerful labor party, has put a cross a schedule of socialist leg islation which staid old Britons never dreamed could happen. And while these reforms were passed in the face of vigorous conservative opposition, never theless, Attlee today has one im portant advantage over President Truman. He has the support of his opponent, Winston Churchill, when it comes to foreign policy. * * * Churchill Advised Trip— Furthermore, he has the sup port of most of the Conservative party. On the other hand, Tru man of late has had the bitter, sometimes vitriolic opposition of a majority of Republican senators in regard to almost every for eign-policy move he has made. Attlee not only was careful to get Churchill's support be fore he left London, but Chur-hill e;en advised him on how to force Truman's hand regarding the trip. What happened was that im mediately after the Prime Minis ter heard of Truman’s atom I bomb statement, he called on ! Churchill. Though political oppo- I nents, the two served in the same coalition war cabinet together and are personal friends. At one time Attlee was Churchill’s dep uty prime minister, and handled Rritish domestic affairs while Churchill was busy with the war. With this background of friendship, it is not hard to un derstand why Attlee should have consulted Churchill or that Churchill advised him that he should take the trip to Washing ton. Furthermore, Churchill sug gested that inasmuch as Truman might be opposed to the trip, Attlee should make a premature announcement of his plan—thus making it impossible for Truman to decline. This was why news of Attlee’s plans prematurely leak ed from London. Churchill also promised Attlee that no effort would be made to overthrow the Labor government while he was away. • * • Atlee's Tory Background— Though Truman and Attlee have much in common political ly, Attlee came from more con servative surroundings. His fa ther was a Tory lowyer and pres ident of the British equivalent to the American Bar association. After studying at England’s ritz iest schools and being admitted to the bar, however, young Att lee suddenly became a social worker. At the age of 24 he went to work and lived in Limehouse, one of London’s workmen’s dis tricts, and he has made his life with labor ever since. Unlike Mr. Truman, who frequently lapses into Missouri mule - driver's language. Att lee’s diction is cultured, some times poetic. In fact, he has written some widely quoted poems, one of them regarding his own work ingmen’s district, which reads: “I hear the feet of many men who go their way . . . Through streets that have no pity, and streets where men decay.”_ Repairs Own Pipes— Attlee is married to Violet Hel en Millar, and for many years they lived with their four chil dren in a modest house in a Lon don suburb where Attlee did a Little gardening and repaired his own pipes in his own carpenter's shop. Unlike Truman, Attlee is a halting, none-too-foreful speaker. When he speaks impromptu, he hesitates and repeats. The Pres ident, on the other hand, is at his best when speaking off the cuff. In conferences, Attlee tries to win his point by charm and per- j suasion. The President some times gets impatient and petu lant. When Foreign Minister Mol otov v,’sited Truman a few days after Roosevelt's death while enroute to the San Fran cisco, Calif., conference, the new President spent 45 min- ; utes bawling him out. There have been many occasions when Molotov deserved such a scolding. In Europe, Attlee and his gov ernment are considered among the most vigorous of all oppo nents to communism, and it is sometimes predicted that, in case the Russians overran Europe, the Attlee cabinet would be the first to suffer.
