BUYING POWER IS
PROSPER|TY'S KEY
Conflicting Views Given AS
Cause of Recession; Low
Prices or High Prices
BY CHARLES p. STEWART
Central Press COIuInnist

Washington, Feb. 4.-Prices are to-
high. Few families are able to pay
them. They have to skimp like every
thing. Consequently merchandise ac-
cumulates on retailers hands. Ma
turally they cut down on buying
which reacts adversely upon whole
salers and basic producers.
We call it over-production, but it
is not that. It is under-consumption.
Such is present-day White House
reasoning, as clearly explained by Pre-
sident Roosevelt, to account for ou'
current business recession.
We should debate, in technical eco-
nomic language.
Heading Toward Initiation?
Oh no, prices are not high enough.

AMERICAN TOWN
 WEATHERS RAID
Continued from Page D

Continued from Page D that his searchlights and anti-air- craft guns failed to pick off the high flying bombers. The first warning signal of approaching raid- CTS was sounded at 10:30 D. m. (EDT) and the town was darkened within a few seconds. From Sever sky field squadron of pursuit planes roared into the air. From the east came the first roar of the ap- preaching planes and few seconds later the searchlights, throwing B. 100000 candle power beams against the sky, picked up three attacking planes. These dropped flares which soon lighted the entire country side.
 General Andrews, revolving the raid from a small platform in front of the hangar, turned and grinned at Major Alexander P. Seyersky, air plane designed and builder, host of the defending forces, and remarked: Tt is realistic enough, Sach?" Se- versky who lost leg in the World War flying for the Russian army shouted back: Tt reminds me of the dog fight over the Gulf of Rigo in 1915" Within ten minutes the first raiding force had been supposedly driven off or shot down, but the searchlights, playing through the heavens, were unable to locate the high flying bombers, and the pur- suit planes returned without con- tacting them.
 Staff Is Silent
 The headquarters staff was silent on the theoretical results, although unofficially it was admitted the Seversky plant would have been destroyed under similar circum- stances in war time.
 The "black out" lasted 30 minutes, climaxing the action in the most ambitious aerial "War games" ever staged by the army. The closing maneuyers, as far the general defen- siv problem along the Atlantic sea- board was concerned, found the "black fleet" still in possession of the city of Norfolk, Va, with a blue army" of 100000 men presum- ably ready to encircle them.
 The problem was left In indefinite suspension, the headquarters staff explaining that the purpose of the maneuvers was to work out prob- lems, not to decide who won the war;.
 A military air parade at Mitchell field near here wound up the war games" today.
