Keep Old Age Reserves Sacred!

ECRETARY MORGENTHAU, doubt
- less with the best of intentions, erred,
it seems to us, in seeking to tie the
permanent old age benefit reserves under
the Social Security Act to the tail of the
kite of short term political detectives.
Instead of performing his trusteeship
as one of three custodians Of the federal
Old Age and Survivors Trust Fund in
accordance with the specifications laid
down by Congress- Mr.. Morgenthau has
the temerity to berate the Senate Finance
Committee for acting in accordance with
the mandate that he should have followed
himself
In accordance with the forecast by
Senator Vandenberg that the accumulated
reserve fund during the coming fve-year
period would be excessive, the Senate
committee voted TO freeze the existing
social security taxes at current rates,
instead of doubling them after the first of
the year.

1T is provided under Section POI of the
i Social Security Act, as amended in
1889, that the board of trustees, of which
Mr.. Morgenthau is a member, should re-
port Immediately to Congress whenever
the board of trustees is of the opinion
that during the ensuing five fiscal years
the trust fund will exceed three times the
highest annual expenditures anticipated
during the fve-year fiscal period, and
whenever the board of trustees is of the
opinion that the amount Of the trust fund
is unduly small
In the absence of such a report from
the board, Senator Nandenberg, as an
independent student of the subject, esti-
mated that the fund would exceed six
times the highest annual expenditures
expected during the fve-year period
After the Senate Finance Committee
action Mr. Morgenthau requested the COM
mittee TO reverse its decision.
1t is significant that ne did not do so

from It's own corps Of nonessentiaI press
agents.
There is truth as well as irony in that
suggestion.
The army of Washington press agents
has grown amazingly in this war.
They are prolific horde as the groan-
ing desks of newspaper Offices throughout
the country. burdened under occasionally
brilliant but usually unnecessary hand
outs, attest
Perhaps the government would more
quickly meet the needs of the army and
navy and mere surely expedite the CON-
clusion of the war, by curtailing the press
agents than by deprivng vital American
business of essential equipment.

Where u. S. Can Get Typewriters

The explanation given was that the
army and navy needed the machines.
And the hint was dropped that, if
voluntary REIMBURSEMENT did not fill the
need, the government might be compelled
to resort to requisition.
Whereupon. the suggestion 0as offered

establishments it could get, plenty Of them

on the allegation that Senator Vandenberg
had misrepresented the situation.
IN THE contrary Mr.. Morgenthau
~ asked for turnabout for the wholly
extraneous reason that the action con-
flicted with the administration fiscal and
anti-infation policy.
Even though Mr.. Morgenthaus OBJ
jectives are worthy, it seems wrong in
principle to start a fashion of manipulate
ing the Social Security Trust Fund for
purposes otherAhan the one for which it
was created.
Though this time the manipulation
may be for benign purposes it would set
vicious precedent, and pave the way for
some less scrupulous executive official to
carry on subsequent manipulation for
an INSCRIPTIONS purpose.
The sacred fund on which men and
women depend for a retirement pension on
passing the age of 65 should not be made
a football of politics.

Better Health
BY Dr. Logan Clendening

THE other day when I wrote
about the potato as a good
wartime food because il is so
common and so valuable, l
promised to continue the series.
l did not anticipate that there
would be three inquiries on my
desk this week about artichokes.
The artichoke can hardly be
considered a common wartime
vegetable, although heaven
knows what will turn up as a
common vegetable these days.
w ha t my correspondents
wanted to find out though was
about the medicinal properties
Of artichokes.
The French people claim that
the artichoke has very remark
able medicine values for diseases
of the liver and kidneys and for
itching, hives and asthma.
OUCH ideas gain authority
~ largely through repetition.
Sauerkraut, if you can ina
CINE. was idolized by the Egyp-
tians.
There is usually little or no
scientific basis for them.
The vegetables we eat every
day are very much the same
chemically: only the minute
traces of some chemical which
gives them a change Of taste
makes them differ one from the
other.
Nor have they any marked
medicinal properties.
In the case of the artichoke,
however, when the chemists
came TO analyze it there was
found some basis for considering
it as a medicinal plant.
A considerable amount of its
contained carbohydrate is in the
form of inulin, which unlike
most other vegetable starches is
not converted TO glucose in the
body, but is hydrolyzed to levu-
lose.
BECAUSE of this, the arti-
- choke has been advocated
in cases of diabetes, but further
studies have proved that the
diabetic docs not tolerate levu-
lose any better than he does
deXtroSc, so the diabetic dream
that he could cat all the arti-
chokes he wanted faded away.
The chemists also found, Curl

\ S SENATOR VANDENBERG has
a indicated, if the treasury desires
additional revenue and wishes to siphon
off excessive funds in the hands of
civilians, it should deal with this subject
directly and candidly, instead of furtively.
Attacking the tendency to regard the
Social Security Trust Fund as spendable
federal revenue, Senator Vandenberg char
acterized the practice as "raiding' the
fund.
He argued that the situation would
be clarified, if the additional revenues
needed for the war budget were candidly
raised through taxation, borrowing and
enforced savings which he deems in
evitable.
1t seems important to hold the Social
Security Trust Fund sacred, and stop re-
garding the accumulation of reserves as a
source of current spendable revenue.
Certainly control of imitation is of vital
Importance. but the matter should be
handled on its merits, without concealment.

THE high school victory corps, IN fact

service they viii be expected to perform
after leaving school.
Since q high proportion Of bows now in

forces upon leaving school such special
training will stand them in good stead.
The military authorities anticipate, Tor

schools giving a background of practical

CATION. as well as other skllls milltarlly

THE advantages of pre-aviation train

In this sense and TO this extent natu-
rally, the program is military.
But it will have much broader ebjee--

accrue to the equally great proportion Of
youth, including girls, who will go into
