SINCE SHE had decided that
she could not do all the THINGS

relatives of the big house, but all
the towns people, and anyone else
who cared to attend The lawns and
gardens were strung with lighted
lanterns; there was an orchestra
for dancing, prizes for games. a
feast spread out on long tables
from which everyone might helm
himself TO barbecued hams and
chickens. salads and desserts and
iced punches. Jim Bell had carried
on the tradition, although. as he
thought when discussing it with
Karen, this might be the last wear

because she wanted the Festival to

commemorate something special.

house.
Not that that would come rs
much of surprise to the guests and
townspeople. Everyone in town. re-

waiting to invite him to the Fes-
tival, although she was not at all

Community Plan Base

The United States Department of Con- merce has done good job of contribut- ing to the effort to haul postwar plan ming down out of the clouds and put it where 1t belongs. The job belongs, of course, in the communities. The public works pool phase of 1t is the business of all units of government, but, as all ex- pertS on the subject agree, that is stop gap and suited to the transition stage, The long pull is job for the people Themselves.
 Industry has set good example with It's committee for economic development. Through the stimulation of this commit tee, hundreds of industries are working on their postwar manufacturing and selling plans to the limit left after they meet the demands of the war effort. That is good example of private enter prise exercizing the talent which enabled at to grow and to be ready when the war demand for speeding up and expansion came.
 War production has shown what this country can do under pressure. If com petition and zeal for success provide similar pressure following the war, private industry will set new peace times mark in employment totals. The Department of Com merce report is a compilation of the experience of 487 communities which on their own power embarked on post war planning programs. It is down-to- earth and full of examples of what live community can do when it sets out ko make the most of the opportunities That surround it.

A Thought for Today
America's Future

In survey of postwar consumer mar ket prospects the United States Chamber of Commerce has found that on the whole the nation is beginning to think in opti- mistic terms of full employment and con- tinued prosperity. Within six months after peace comes the Chamber estimated that Americans will be wanting to buy 1,540,o00 homes, S675,OO0 automobiles, R.625,000 mechanical refrigerators, 2,555,- poo radios, 2,100,0oO washing machines md host of other major household ap- plianceS.
 Roughly speaking, the report showed that American families plan to spend in excess of $2o,0Oo,o 100000 in the immedi- ate postwar market on cars, homes, household equipment and other items which have been denied by the neceSSi- ties of war. That the survey is conserv- ative one is easily demonstrated by the fact that the estimate for the number of automobiles which will be demanded in the immediate postwar period is less than the number of passenger cars built In 1941 and in seven other years since 1925.
 According to the survey, the geratest single expenditure - more than $7,OOO,- O0O-planned by American families after the war is ir new homes. More than half of these are to be homes cost ing less than $5,000 each. There is in- deed rich market, but there is catch to it. It will not be possible to construct the sort of homes nose Americans want to buy if construction costs are kept at today's high level as a result of opposi- tion to cost-lowering mass production techniques.
 This could easily resulti in the stifling of Q potentially vast market. New homes have to be furnished and if production is to be limited other enterprises will in- eHtably be adversely affected The ob- stacle only underlines the necessity for postwar planning to make sure that every ounce of the nations energy is utilized in 8 spurt of production that will banish the twin specters of mass unemployment and imitation which could wreck Amer tcaS hope in the future.

are finding new ones. But the price fixers in Washington gaze into their crystal ball and order the industry to sell it's barrel of oil at the same old price, even though the cost of producing it has great ly increased.
 In lieu of price increase they want to make government loans for drilling new wells" of premium price" for oil from new fields, or a "higher price on a zone basis" in the extreme shortage areas. They seem to think that government sub sidies and government loans do not repre-. sent price increase.
 The official price fixers are all trying to make 1t appear that the old nnatheA nautical rule that two and two make four, does not apply today. If their fantastic theories result in destruction of needed development of new oil reserves, the oil shortage that will follow in this nation can be laid squarely at the door of Fed eral regulators of oil production who have forgotten their gradeschool arithmetic. Al the excuses they can offer for their new-fangled figuring will not keep our war machine and automobile running.

The Russian base is commanded by a live-wire young general who gets along well with the Ameri- cans but is eyed with some sus- picion by the British.
 The Senators also reported that when the British were bit starchy about letting the Rus- sians use the airport at Teheran, capital of Iran, further north, the Russian army sent in regiment one night, and, without further argument, took over the airport. Since then the British have had to ask the Russians for permis- sion tD use 1t.

 Inside fact regarding the resig- nation of Congressman Cox from the EGG Investigation Committee was that Speaker Sam Rayburn had worked out a deal with the Justice Department regarding this last spring, but Cox refused to play ball.
 The deal was that Cox would re- sign as chairman of the Commit tee, and simultaneously the Jus tice Department would drop It's case against him. Cox, however, was too tough even for persuasive Sam Rayburn. He would not step down.
 Finally with the prestige of Congress seriously at stake, and with Q constant barrage of cri- ticism being hurled at every member of Congress, Cox yield ed. He is reported to have been promised that the Justice De- partment case would be dropped.
 However, public criticism has now gone so far that the Justice Department continues to be very much on the hot spot. So the original deal may not stick. Pub lie opinion may be too strong for the Justice Department and even the persuasive charm of Speak CT Sam Rayburn.
 NOTE: According to Congress man Will Rogers, Jr., the Cox military communique should be 'Disengaglng activities. Retiring to positions previously prepared"
