Attacks Seen As Part Of Get Tough Pattern
Washington March 12 Officials weigh if Kremlin directed air attacks on Allied planes in Germany as a deliberate show of toughness to intimidate Western powers. A second strike in 48 hours killed a British bomber and a U.S. jet was shot down near the Czech border prompting concern in Washington and allied capitals. Experts debate whether incidents are deliberate or coincidental but agree they raise tension as Cold War pressures grow.

Dig Down Young Man Sees Gold Digging Less Worth While
Representative Engle of California argues the youth should quit old diggings and seek new ones. California gold production in 1952 totaled 8,874,355 dollars while the winter carrot crop reached 8,978,000 dollars. Carrots are claimed as a worthy food with a place in the economy, yet comparing carrot mining to gold mining lacks romance. A colleague notes that rabbits do not wear grass, implying there may be gold in carrots after all.
