The Inside Track in Washinqton

les of Adam Smiths wealth OF
the Nations, dating from the last
century. no longer have standing,
thanks to the nifty innovations OF
soviet and totalitarian states and
the compromises OF the rest OF the
world to meet their competition.
What must apparently be done,
therefore. is to rewrite economics,
baSing on present practices and
drafting whatever new laws" and
theories can be drawn from ac-
Qualities.
Where T.N.E.C. falls down is in
the gaps of its study-gapS big
enough to drive through whole
cross sections of American indus
try. Marketing. fire and casualty
insurance, the entire field Of trans
portation, were untouched. Farm
economy was gone into in only a
few phases.
: Further weakness of the inveS-
tigation is that it is being discon-
tinued now as the national econ
Omy goes into a new Stage-War
and defense. What the economics
of the country will be in this war
and what it will be when the war
is over, no one can guess.
Senator Wagner has introduced
a resolution to establish a post
emergency economic advisory COM
mission to formulate a comprehen-
sive program for full utilization
of Americas men and machines.
If the TN.E.C. torch is to be picked
up, some such organization will
have to do it. Otherwise, whatever
light of reform has been kindled
probably will sputter out as so much
wasted words and paper in the gut
ter of good ideas gone wrong.
WASHINGTON BELL BUOY
The new defense savings stamps
and the defense series of savings
bonds will be taxable. You'll pay the
tax on the accrued interests you
get when you turn in the stamps
or bonds for cash. A new idea
of naval theory is that the admiral
commanding a fleet in battle should
be in an airplane, instead of on
the bridge of his flagship. Rep

Plans to put up temporary gov
ernment office buildings on a 300
acre tract in Maryland, to relieve
Washington congestion, may indi-
cate the government is now too big
for the District of Columbia.

Two bandits failed in an attempt
to rob people on q train in wy

them off.
1t seems that the old expression,

displaced by arms across the sea.

BLOND
INSPIRATION

san -ay, I think: you've got
something there" exclaimed Mile
stone. Il remember :" And he
told the writing team about a time
when he and pal were nightclub-
bing. The other fellow had a rowing
eye and it wasn't long before he
spotted a curvaceous blond. who
didn't seem too entertained with
her escort. Naturally, he couldn't
talk to lady to whom he hadn't
been introduced but there wasn't
any law against flirting.
He called over the clubs crooner,
who was strolling among the GUS
toners singing request numbers.
Next thing, the cutie was being
serenaded with a where -have-you-
been-all-my-life ballad. She caught
on and did little song requesting
herself, with the result that Mile
stone was left with the check while
his pal-and the blond-Went on to
bigger and gayer night clubs.

RETURNS
MONEY

To do the job. the committee was
given Sl,070,000. 1t will turn back
a part of the money, thus justifying
the economic part of its name,
and since it is winding up its af-
fairs. it justifies the temporary.
You must give the government
credit for setting up one agency
which isn't trying to perpetuate
itself.
As to the permanent gain from
all this mass of deep, and at times
dull research, old Father Time will
have to do the telling. For eight
months, though, the secretary of
the committee, Dewey Anderson
and its conomic adviser, Theodore
j. Kreps, two California economists
with plenty of experience in poll
tics and study abroad, have been
boiling down all this testimony in
to one volume of 16 chapters which
will be the committees official re-
port. It will be ready about the
end of March. It will contain speci-
fic recommendations as to what
should be done about it all SOnC
will be for immediate action, some
for long range planning.
Main gains of the committees
work come under five heads:
/. It has supplied a new mine
of information on the functioning
of U. S. business, big and little.
2, It has already resulted in
numerous proposals for specific
new legislation before Congress.
Patent procedure revision and pc
troleum industry control are two
examples.
3. Business has been stimulated
to make voluntary reforms for self
control, as in the mutual life in
surance companies.
4. The government has been
moved to correct existing errors in
business regulation. Some of the
antitrust activity of the Depart
ment of Juntice has been inspired
by T.NEC. disclosures.
5. All books on economics-par-
ticularly all textbooks for colleges
and uniyersities-may have to be
revised in the light of the commit
tees findings.

is better than the movie version
audiences will see 1t happened
like this: when writer's John Van
Druten and Arnold Belgard reached
the point in their Caroline script
where the stars were to play a
sentimental love scene. they were
stumped. What kind of setting
could they use that hadn't been
filmed a thousand times before?
They wrote four different verses
ions, didn't like any of them, and
neither did Director Lewis Mile
stone. Finally Van Druten threw
up his hands, said in disgust, We'll.

April g. aged two years, nine
months and 18 days.
In life as in death, T.N.E.C.
means more to your sweet young
life than you may think, and its
ghost may be around for a long
time. 1t has been called, among
other things. a New Deal witch
hunt. but that misses the mark by
a million miles. What the outfit
has been doing is a study and in
yestigation to find out why ma
chimes and men have been idle.
It's as simple as that.
Whether or not they found out
is another quention. In trying to
find out. a committee of six con-
gressmen, headed by enator
Joseph C. O'Mahoney of Chey-
enne. Wyo, and six men from
other government agencies heard
655 witnesses from 95 character

nesnes ranging from milk to life
insurance. The testimony is pub
lished in 80 volumes with a total
of 10000 pages.
Supplementing these are 5000 eX-

volumes each On ton of these 100
