TRUMAN: And Big Three Through chilled North Atlantic waters, President Truman arrived in Potsdam to keep his rendezvous with Prime Minister Churchill and Marshal Stalin. It is believed that they will be concerned with problems dealing with control of Germany, planned on long-range basis; disposition of territories—Italian and some 30 dis puted boundaries to be settled; political and economic questions, including Italy peace terms, what to do with Spain and other “neu trals,” which might include Japan. Diplomats say that the Big Three, while discussing the San Fran cisco conference, their present work will not tie in directly with the West Coast conference and United Nations charter. Berlin Rule The rule in Berlin has been split, and for the first time the American and British military governments have moved in and taken up their responsibilities in the German capi tal. Rules and regulations established in American and British zones of Berlin, as established by the Red army, will remain in effect until General Clay and General Lyne and their staffs can formulate perma nent methods of operation. Russian policy has been declared to be more realistic than those adopted by other Allies in other sections, and high sources seem to think there will be little change made in Ber lin. Each Allied military government will provide food, coal and other necessities from their part of oc cupied Germany to take care of German civilians within Berlin. There will be exchanges of differ ent kinds of goods among the Brit ish, American, French and Russian authorities due to scarcities of some items in different sections. BIG HOMECOMING: Ahead of Schedule When eight transports docked in New York one day in mid-month, they brought back 35,000 happy vet erans of the European war—the largest number returned in a single day since V-E Day. Twenty-eight thousand soldiers were Americans, 7,000 Canadians. Five infantry regi ments, a hospital unit, various groups of the 8th air force, and nu merous smaller units were among the arrivals. The number of troops now back in the states is approach ing the half million mark. The giant yueen Mary carried more than 15,000 men, includ ing 6,000 of the Canadian contingent. The West Point, which is the navy’s largest transport, had 7,600 soldiers aboard, and the John Ericcson about the same number. Three thousand men came home on the James Parker, and four smaller trans ports returned a total of 1,500. Aboard the West Point were 33 men who were not happy about the trip. They were Japanese diplo mats taken into custody in Europe. An unlisted passenger was Nat ale Piavallo, nine-year-old Italian orphan, who was smuggled aboard the General Bliss by soldiers of the 8th division. He was liberated from a German prison camp by Ameri can troops. He will be placed in a private home pending decision of immigration authorities. ‘DIES’ COMMITTEE: Neiv Chairman Representative Wood (Dem., Ga.) has been elected by the house to the chairmanship of the committee on un-American activities, succeed ing Representative Hart (Dem., N. J.), who resigned due to ill health. Representative Rankin, who has been acting chairman of the group since Hart resigned, called Repre sentative Wood, outstanding and one of the finest Americans in the house. Moncke Business A “monkey wrench” is not so f named because it is a handy thing | to monkey with. The tool was in vented by a London blacksmith, Charles Moncke, and named after him. The origin of the word was later obscured and corrupted into “monkey.” JITTERY JAPS: Get More So Japan homeland has become jit tery over continued large-scale air assaults against Tokyo and other in dustrial centers of its islands. Broadcasts, changing from hour to hour, all indicate that Japan ex pects invasion of the mainland at any minute by Allies. Military spokesman for Japan ad mitted that to defend the islands it would be necessary for the Im perial government to devise some adequate defense of the homeland against continued air attacks. Navy Score The U. S. navy alone has de stroyed more than 17,000 Japanese planes since Pearl Harbor, Under secretary Artemus L. Gates of the navy has reported. During the same period the American fleet plane loss has been approximated at 2,700. It is believed that the army has ac counted for as many Jap planes, considering the large number in the last few days. Navy carriers now total nearly 100 with a tonnage of 1,250.000, the largest single portion of total com bat tonnage. More than 26,000 air craft built since Pearl Harbor were deployed to the fleet last year. TYPHOON: Hits U. S. Fleet Five weeks after a raging typhoon lashed Admiral Halsey’s 3rd Fleet with 138-mile-an-hour winds virtual ly every damaged ship (there were 21 hit) was back in action. The havoc wrought by the storm was de scribed as greater than any Jap blow ever administered to the fleet. The cruiser Pittsburgh miracu lously stayed afloat after its bow was torn off in the churning sea. It has now been refitted for action. Among the damaged ships re paired and back in action were three fast battleships and two Essex class carriers. Only one life was report ed lost. Adm. Chester Nimitz’ announce ment of the incident did not specify where the typhoon struck but pre sumably it was in the western Pa cific area between Okinawa and the Philippines. This area is known as the “typhoon cradle” where violent I storms strike without warning. JAP HOSPITAL SHIP: In Bad Shape A Japanese hospital ship, boarded i by an American naval party was j found to be dirty and overrun with vermin. Food and medical supplies were entirely inadequate for the 1,000 patients, who had been re- ! moved from Wake Island under truce. Many of the Japs appeared to be starving. A doctor admitted that many would die during the night. While the sick men were kept clean, the wards and galleys were filthy and insect-infested, and the standard of cleanliness on the ship was below par everywhere. A stench emanated from the ship that could be smelled 1,000 yards away. Curiously, the Jap officers were polite and anxious to please. The skipper offered American officers tea and liquor. He was interested in American baseball, as he had played third base on a Jap navy team, and was especially inter ested in the present standing of the Yankees. CONVERSION POST: To Treasury The Office of War Mobilization and Reconversion will become a part of the treasury department when Fred M. Vinson, present direc tor, becomes secretary of the treas ury, according to Washington. Vinson has already indicated that he intended to keep his top OWMR personnel. Eventually treasury of ficials look for a further consolida tion of some of the independent fiscal agencies into the treasury.

Feed Practices If you want to produce hay or grass silage, alfalfa should have a prominent place in the mixture, provided the soil is well drained, aot too heavy and is well limed and ertilized. If the soil tends to be ■noist and heavy, include Ladino :Iover. The first growth may be cut 'or hay in the spring, then the sod pastured the rest of the season.

Save Juice Avoid loss of juice in preparing ' meat, poultry, and fish by never soaking in water. Meat may need to be wiped off wdth a clean moist cloth, and poultry or fish may need to be rinsed after cleaning. Deer Crowding Hazard To Herd Population Ten per cent of all of Wisconsin’s millions of acres of deer country creates the entire present Wisconsin deer problem and Wisconsin can have no more deer than the 10 per cent of the land permits, the con servation department said. Wiscon- [ sin deer insist on congregating on ■ 10 per cent of their range during severe winter weather and the total deer population depends on how many animals can annually sur vive their self-imposed confinement on the food depleted concentration aeas. The department emphasized that it has found no way to change deer nature. The animals have no food problem as long as they roam about freely on their great range, as they do in summer. But in periods of deep snow, a condition that prevails for long periods in most winters, deer concentrate in shelter area's that they have used for many gen erations and either survive or die according to the supply of food available in their places of concen tration. The department estimates that there are more than 500 such concentration areas in the state, ranging from small to miles in size. Wet Cleaning Tidies Cotton Wash Dresses Some cotton wash dresses will not wash satisfactorily — for instance those which will shrink a good deal, or those with colors that aren’t fast. In the long run, cottons do not dry clean very satisfactorily; but your dry cleaner has another trick up his sleeve which is neither washing or dry cleaning—that is, wet cleaning. In wet cleaning, special soaps and lukewarm water are used. The garment or fabric is laid out on a board and brushed by hand gently. It is also important that the process be completed quickly. This is quite different from the lengthy treatment with warmer wa ter involved in washing. Even non fast colors can often be handled satisfactorily under these circum stances. Homemakers can take a tip from the dry cleaner to keep wash clothes in condition between washing, or postpone washing or pressing when the garment is only wrinkled, by sponging lightly immediately on re moving. Transport Differs On water as on land, all kinds of methods of transportation are found among the republics to the south. High up on Lake Titicaca, 12,500 feet above sea level, sail traditional “to tora” boats, named after the reeds from which they are woven. These boats or “balsas” glide along un der sails also made of totora, while river boats, ocean-going freighters, and barges are other links of Latin America with the world’s com merce. On the rim of the continent are great ports on whose modern docks ocean liners load and un load precious merchandise. Above it all is heard the hum of planes, the hundreds of passenger and freight planes that fly daily on the sky lanes of the Americas. Trips that used to take many days by mule pack can be made in an hour or two by air. From Mendoza, Argentina, planes make the hop over the Andes to Chile. From La Paz they cut swift ly overland to Sao Paulo, Brazil. From Barranquilla, Colombia, they wing over the Caribbean to Havana and Miami. In 1943 there were 113, 929 miles of air routes in 20 Latin American countries. “Even though the challenge that lies ahead in the field of transportation is formidable, by working together in the inter American spirit of cooperation” the Americas have and can accomplish what might have seemed impossible. Candy Output By 1941, there were more than 1,200 candy manufacturers, produc ing more than 2% billion pounds of candy in more than 2,000 different types, .with a wholesale value of 500 1 million dollars.

Several Canadian companies, however, have a fairly large life in surance portfolio overseas. In this connection the countries chosen by the United States and Canadian com panies operating in the foreign field are generally more stable and con sequently there is less risk of dis turbance to foreign corporations in such countries.
