DiscOntinuance of
Dies Committee
Asked by Meeting

After listening to three we'll
informed speakers lampoon the
Dies Committee last Sunday, the
Halle Q. Brown Forum meeting
passed a unanimous resolution ask
ing Congress to discontinue the
Dies Committee investigation. The
reasons for the resolution against
the Dies Committee were brought
out by the three speakers on the
panel discussion - Frank Alsop,
Frank Boyd and Theodore Allen.
RED Hunt"
Mr.. Allen characterized the Dies
investigations as a "Red Hunt"
and went on to declare that he
was opposed to that kind of perse-
cution.
AlsOp Talks
Indicating that the activities of
the Dies Committee were directly
opposed to the 18th, 14th, and 18th
Amendments of the Constitution,
Mr.. Alsop reminded the Forum that
the committee had made no men
ton of Acknowledgement of Ne
groes in the South, and of peonage
in Georgia, although they had been
asked to. Continuing, he declared
that denial of civil rights for Ne
groes and jim-crowism exists gen.
orally in this country and that
"Only when $4,000, 900 Negroes or
ganize themselves politically and
economically for a single purpose
will they be able to eliminate these
conditions and to change the pres
ent unfavorable political set-up in
America"
Boyd Says Special Interests
Behind Dies =
Frank Boyd, of the Sleeping Car
Porters, commented that the ac-
tivity of the Dies Committee is a
form of propaganda which is
guided by powerful special inter
ests. He pointed out that the Ma
tional Manufacturers Association
was the huge guiding force behind
a great number Of reactionary or
CARNATIONS, of which the Dies
Committee is one. "The masses of
the people," said Mr.. Boyd, "don't
search for the truth. That is why
they are easily fooled by the prOpa-
gandists. If they would search for
the truth and find it, they would
then be able to look beneath the
false and find the true reason for a
great many happenings"
Maceo Littlejohn presided over
the meeting and he announced that
on February IL the Joint Labor
Council will have a Lincoln Doug
lass Day observation. All Of the
clubs in st. Paul are asked to SUBJ
NIT resolutions composed of "What
Improvements We Think the Com
munity Needs" These resolutions

Physician Describes Acid Noses
AS Protection Against Colds

responds electrically to slight
changes in alkalinity or acidity.
The Chicago physician found with
this method that the acidity of the
body changes in a regular rhythm
and is greatly affected by heat, cold
and the taking of drugs.
This may explain, he indicated,
why colds are more common among
people In a rundown condition and
why quick changes from heat to cold
make a person more susceptible to
infection.
Colds may be acquired more easily

in addition to chilling. the alkalinity

Record Peace Outlay
OF $13,00O,000,o00
Seen by Treasury
$5,76o,ooo,ooo Deficit
Also Expected for
Fiscal Period
~ the Associated Press.

~ the Associated Press.
The Treasury expects the current
fiscal year to produce a peacetlme
spending record of $4,000, 00O 900,
and a deficit of about $5,760, 900 900.
The anticipated total expenditure
would be the second highest in all
American history, yielding only to
the World War fiscal year 1919 when
the outlay reached 1882 1895 900.
The expected deficit would be ex-
ceeded only by the figures in the
1918 and 1919 fiscal years.
AS Congress neared the end Of
the unprecedented appropriations
for the Government bookkeeping
year which will end next June 80,
ofiicials contrasted the new outlook
with the $S,424,191,570 spending
budget that President Roosevelt sub
mitted In January, before the huge
defense program materialized.
The $4,000. 100000 spending esti-
mate was predicated on actual cash
disbursements on the more than
$4,000, 100000 which this Congress
either appropriated or authorizeDin
the form of contract obligations.
Record Carryover.
The $1,000 100000 margin between
the authorized total and the esti-
mated 000,000,000 in actual dis
bursements presaged an unspent
carryover to the next fiscal year
which might set new records.
President RooSevelts requests for
defense money last January totaled
only $3.50 AS, 100. Now current
estimates on actual expenditures
for that purpose run around $780,
900 900. including the cost of con-
scription. This compares with less
than $4,000, 100000 spent in the first
year of the World War and is sur
passed only by the 1000 600, 900
in the last year of the war.
The looked-for $4,000. 900 900 out
lay in the 1941 fiscal year is almost so
per cent greater than the s9.537 ,000.-
900 of the 1910 fiscal year, which
set the previous peacetime record
The 1889 spending was S9,26S 1888 900
In an effort to keep pace with
the new appropriations least to
some extent-CongreSS twice passed
revenue bills. Counting in the re-
turns from the newly excess
profits tax, the revenues this fiscal
year are now being estimated at
about s6.542 900, 00O-a total sur
passed only in fiscal 1920, when the
richest of the World War taxes were
collected
Hugh Borrowings in Prospect.
Approximately SITS 100000 will
come from the tax law of June
which added 10 per cent to nearly
every kind of tax from the one on
incomes to that on club dues. The
new Excess Profits Act is slated to
add only about s175,000000 more
this year. although retroactive to
1910 corporation earnings, Both of
the new tax laws were expected to
have much richer yields in sube-
quent years.

hand on his arm. II don't want to
see you so discouraged. 1t isn't like
you"
PAY no attention" BaX forced
a little smile. II guess I'm getting
old and can't take it."
She was so close to him that he
could feel her warm breath on his
face. They were standing by the
lake, jutting rocks above them,
shut off from the world.
Euadenly Romany felt BaX's
arms around her, his lips on hers.
She was taken completely by SUR
prise: But she Gid not push him
away. Her hands went to the white,
unhappy face bent over hers, ma
terhally.
Darling" he said huskily. 4
I'm sorry"
She asked tenderly:
Are you? Well, I'll take half the
blame
With an effort BaX drew away
and they walked few steps in
selhconscious silence. Then Bax
found his grin.
That's what you get for SYM
pathizing with guy when he's in
the dumps! He goes wacky and
starts trying to make love to you"
Romany answered him as lightly:

closely. :,

Hastily she started for the
kitchen.
You boys and girls tall: while
see what's in the ice box. I'll
bring Doves champagne first"
In a flash she was back with a
bottle and glasses. BaX rose to the
occasion nobly, although his pride
made it difficult. They drank
toast to Cholly's broadcast and a
little later Romany brought a tray
Of cold meats, cheeses, pickles and
rye bread.
After BaX had gone, Romany be-
came suddenly quiet and made no
attempt 70 talk or smile, shedding
her gay mood like a cloak. Cholly
wondered why, but asked no ques-
tons. Strangest of all was the fact
that Romany had gone to BaXter's
apartment in the first place.
Cholly wondered if it could be
possible that Romany had missed
Bax. But surely it was Brent Mel
son who came first in her affec-
tions. She had expected to hear al
most any day that Brent had asked
Romany to marry him and that she
had accepted.
Cholly was almost too excited to
sleep. After she had laid in bed a
long time her thoughts turned to
Terry. What would he think when

So Terry had a car! Amazingly,
he had held his job at the cafe for
weeks. And of course the first
thing he would buy would be a car.
His debts would trouble him not
one whit!
Myra took Terry's arm as they
walked to.-the elevators. Cholly,
analysing her feelings practically,
decided she wasn't jealous. She
felt she could meet Terry the next
time with a studied indifference
quite equal to his. .

that.
