The Pocatello POST describes the first week of daily publication as hectic with many challenges. The staff acknowledges printing adjustments and growing pains while praising local support and partnership with readers to build a stronger newspaper for the months and years ahead.
The piece weighs two paths for Communist disruption in France and Italy and the danger of “men on horseback” like Gen Charles de Gaulle and Gugliemo Giannini threatening Marshall Plan hopes. It notes rightist figures risk Soviet containment, urging moderate governments to act to shape Europe’s near future. It also cites Sen Ralph Flanders on price-driven involuntary rationing for low income consumers.
Paul Gallico muses on public opinion and Senator Taft's April meat rationing proposal. He notes the double talk in politics, questions meat price controls, and worries about how a public column can mislead readers. He ends with a light, conversational tease about Washington weather.
Geneva notes describe the human rights commission sessions with delayed members, drafting steps for a rights bill, and hopes for consensus between eastern European and United States positions. The speech mentions balance on freedoms, social rights, and the use of footnotes for divergent views amid Christmas deadline pressures.
At the University of Texas a postwar loan boom continues with 15 students per day seeking loans, up from one daily prewar. High prices and slow GI check arrivals drive the rise. Loan loss remains under one percent, and most applications are for 90 day loans averaging $35.
Timothy Morgan proposes hiring a leg man for Billy Rose's column at 1000 a week. Rose recounts a flamboyant tale of Wilbur Walenska with two mouths and a two part harmony, culminating in a carnival show and a sharp exchange that hires Morgan’s client.
Western Senator Harry Cain pushes a plan to issue federal revenue bonds to the public and repay from power and irrigation profits. He says it would trim reclamation fights, broaden planning, boost public backing, and act as anti inflation.
Thomas L. Stokes critiques the House anti inflation measure and the GOPs use of a suspension of rules to push it. He notes the party aimed to shift blame to Democrats, with 202 yeas to 0 nays and no Democratic support, while predicting cheaper foods will follow politics. The piece spotlights Rep. Halleck and Monhoney commenting on speed and political maneuvering.
