FoRD's FORECASTS

rO1LO y rOktCS<A0x0
Henry Ford returned to his home
a couple of weeks ago from two
months spent in the south, and with
him he brought the customary
bunch of optimistic forecasts that
every citizen we know of around
Kennewick is always glad to read
about.
Nothing that occurred during the
past few weeks" said Mr.. Ford on
his arrival in Detroit, "has occur
red to change my belief that a
prosperous era is ahead of us. 1t
will come through greater reai-
cation that all wealth comes from
the soil and that there must be a
greater cultivation of the land. Re-
ports from abroad have not served
to make me change my convictions
about the futility of wars. Nobody
wins in a war, but the financial in
terests that promote it and make
preparations for it. If dictator
11CIC ~ WALL VIC SSSs~NSS
the people have been asleep and
deserve it. But there will be a way
to handle or destroy dictatorship
if it springs up in this country. I'M
migration quotas need not cause
alarm. This nation is big enough
to absorb any or all of the quotas
of those people who cannot find
happiness in their own lands"
Whether you agree fully with
Henry's opinions or not makes lit
tie difference-you've got to admit
there is lot of good philosophy in
what he says. And especially when
he said, nearing the end of his in
terview: Deprive the world of the
brains of men and women above so
years of age and everything must
come to standstill. Neither age
alone nor youth alone can run a
worlds affairs. A cross-section Of
both is needed"

THE iva SCANDAL DEVELOPS
If Congress has any regard for its
duty to the public, it will carry on
a full, impartial and exhaustive in
vestigation of the TVA-and do it
quickly The discharge of Twas
chairman has made bad matter
worse, and has answered none of the
immensely important questions that
have been raised concerning iva
acts and policies.
The iva situation is a grave
scandal. iva directors have been
making charges and counter
charges. The iva board has been
hopelessly split by differences of
opinion, and by personal enmity
and bitterness. Observers claim that
iva has pursued extremely high
pressure policies in trying to force
individuals in its area to buy power
appliances; that it is shot through
with waste and inefficiency, and
that 1t so camouflages its reports
that no one can tell what is going
on. And this is the Authority
that is costing the taxpayers hum
dreds of millions and that was
supposed to make a heaven on earth
out of the Southeast.
Anyone can imagine what would
have happened had a private power
company gotten itself into this kind
of a mess. Congressman would have
beaten their breasts in righteous
anger; resolution for an investi-
CATION would have been rushed thru
in record time, and the politicians
would have had a field day. In the
iva case, most effort seems to be
given to trying to quiet things
down." and passing the buck.
Well, the iva row won't quiet
down. Too much has been alleged
there have been too many con-
flicting charges. If the iva is
wasteful and corrupt, the public is
entitled to know it. If it has been
well managed and efficient, that
should be proven. ~.
The American people want fair
and honest investigation of the
TVA-and they want it now.

eral tax policies that is now going
on In Washington, is of great and
direct importance to every person in
this country-whether he be clerk
or capitalist.
The undistributed profits tax is q
case in point. It is reported that the
Treasury Department wants this
tax retained. at least In "princi-
pie" in spite Of the fact that it
has been denounced as q depress-
ion-breeder by scores Of economists,
and is credited by leading business
men and publicists with having
been q major factor in bringing on
and maintaining the current busi-
ness collapse. The Senate Finance
Committee has voted to eliminate
this tax in the interest Of recovery.
This committee has a wealth Of
sound, dispassionate evidence on its
side-but, unfortunately, that does
MT necessarily count In politics.
The only thing that can sway the
ultimate decision is the public's at
titude. A wise, informed people who
let it be known that they have had
enough political manhandling Of
their jobs and savings, will see its
wishes into law. A lethargic, unin-
terested, ignorant people will get
what it deserves which is simply
more political horseplay, more
crackpot theory, and more de-
preston. Don't make any mistake
your future is at stake today.

HOLLYWOOD CHARM
y SgNEE0ZZ
By
Bessie Mae West
Althouse Beauty School

Movie stars I admired the
world over for their charm. This
charm is more often mistaken for
beauty. The source of charm, wo-
mans greatest asset, is the mo-
dern Beauty Salon, magazine art
ticles, and beauty hints. This mag
netic power, sent forth from wo-
men whose hair, complexion, and
hands are well kept, is in the
reach of every woman. You can do
much by daily practice of beauty
hints but the cosmetoliogists can
do more.
Do you want a clear, smooth
complexion; hair that is bright and
lustrous and hands that are ex-
pressions of beauty? If SO watch
each week for Hollywood Charm
for a helpful beauty hint.

and truth-loving people of the whole
earth I plead that they will make their
voices heard in this crisis, and let it
be known that moral values still count
for something in the affairs of men;
that government by gangsters is not
and shall not be the final destiny of
our civilization.

BY THE FOUR ACES.

BY THE FOUR ACES.
THE Wednesday evening handicap
duplicate at the Cavendish Club
has grown so popular that, limited as
1t Is to 10 tables because of lack of
space, many applicants are frequently
turned away. Many of New York's
leading players attend regularly, usu-
ally pairing up with bridge enthusiasts
who are anxious to play with them
because they are assured of expert
competition. The most recent dupli-
cate was won by Jules Wetzlar, Sec
retary of the club, who, although
paired with rather mediocre partner,
romped off to an easy victory. This
hand, on which Mr.. Wetzler earned a
top score, contributed handsomely.
