I feel that cautious, worldly wis
dom and counting chances while
children go hungry would ba d mis-
cradle foundation for our future
life together as family. The right
basis to start from Is that there
should not be any standing army
Of unemployed, any sick of pre-
ventable disease, any elderly peo-
pie decrepit and infirm before their
allotted span.
Security is like happiness. II you
put it first and make It your aim,
you lose it; and it Is like peace. II
you make 1t an isolated object Of
policy, you lose 1t. This thought is
at the back of the minds of those
who fear that schemes Of social
security may sap peoples initiative
and enterprise and rob them of the
will to work. They see the need Of
a spirit of effort, initiative, and adj
venture; and agree with them. II

more than half idle and great areas
Of the country is in distress.
In the nineteenth century, il
might have been true to contrast
the vigor and freshness Of private
enterprise with the restrictive ef-
feet of public regulations. In the
twentieth century, with the inev-
liable trend toward the centralized
organization Of big industry, pri-
vate control has often tended to-
ward the slowing down OF mems
hands and minds. Many Of the most
remarkable examples of enterprise
which the world can show have
been public, from our Tennessee
Valley Authority to Britain's Elec-
tricity Grid and Russia's Dnieper
Dam.
After the war a successful gov
eminent will need basis Of public
statistics much more extensive and
far reaching than anything we pos
sess today. No longer must we be In
any doubt about whether we can
afford this form of social-security
or that. We want better standards
than the old code of doing the best
one can for oneself. And while one
can not enforce the golden rule by
a process of law, one can build a
society in which II is easier TO be
unselfish and much less profitable
TO be selfish than in the world Of
pre-war days.

"Where is there more worthy
cause than to alleviate distress
among the sick, unemployed and
needy aged?
The Chamber Of Commerce is
warning all and sundry In radio
broadcasts and newspaper columns
of the dangers to be encountered
In such program.
This is not a perfect bill, but IL
Is a step in the right direction. Can
we afford to do this? I would say
can we afford not to do it? The
mere instinct of self-preservation
warns US not TO allow the contin-
ued existence OF depressed, insult
ficiently fed minority. But If it did
not, the instincts of common hui
manity would prompt us not TO
leave our brothers and sisters In
fear and need while our national
family has the means TO lift them
up to decent living.

purpose, no sense Of loyalty TO
something beyond themselves, they
will relapse into inertia.
After the war the fate of our
people will depend upon our power
to put first things first. Our people
have the right to be well fed and
shod and housed and schooled.
They have the right to achieve
those things and enjoy a sense Of
constructive usefulness in doing so.
Not all their jobs can be inherently
attractive, but all can be done with
a sense Of worthwhile purpose as
our jobes are done in wartime. Our
economic life must be organized to
achieve the object of right stand
ard of public well-being.
That means turning our backs
forever on schemes Of restriction
of goods or labor. II we ever again
dabble in such schemes, our ma
tional future will be threatened,
and cur plan of social security will
become a burden instead of a bene-
fit, load on our shoulders instead
of weight off our minds.
Never again dare we be indiffer-
ent If our productive machine is
standing idle or running down or
If the energies Of the people are
unused or under-used. 1t will be
suicidal after the war for financial

Izzi Looks Forward
 To Mom's Spaghetti
Food After 10th Day; Sailors Use Toes as Bait in Fishing for Sharks
BY sANDOR $. KLEIN Limited Press Stan Correspondent)

Bethesda, Md, March Ill.,. .UP)- Basil D. 1z2i, 20, Q naval gunner rescued after 83 days adrift in the Atlantic on a raft, looked forward today to only one thing-a dish of his mothers spaghetti,
 Just the mere thought of his mothers cooking especially her spa ghetti, sustained his spirits during the almless travels at sea on the raft that originally carried five lnen and was found with only three alive. .'r,e,
 1zM, whose home is in South Barre, Mass, Is recovering from his ordeal at the navy medical center where he told his story in on inter- view with the United Press.
 He talked quietly, dispasSionately, this youth with the hollow eyes and the frightful memories. That Is, h6 did until he told how "my officer" --Lieut. James D. HaddoX of Lafay- cite, Ind..--died at sea after iT days on the raft. Then his eyes became moist and his voice broke.
 Tt affected me pretty bad, be. cause he was my officer and we'd gotten along well together on the ship"
 1zzi was a member of 6 gun crew aboard Q United Nations merchant man which was torpedoed and sunk last November ?. For the first few days after the ship sank, ISzi float ed about in the sea, buoyed up by a small bundle of bamboo sticks which had come off the ship. Then hs came across the raft, on which his gunnery officer, Lieut.. Maddox, another guncrewn1an Seasan George Beagley, of Hambleton, Mo" and two Dutch sailors were floating. He joined them and shared with them the small supply of chocolate, hard tack and water storsd on the raft.
 izzi told now the food ran out after IS days and how they fisied for sharks by using rope moose and their toes as bait.
 '"rhe first fish we caught was Q shark about four feet long," he rec lated, "The way we caught 1t was to make a running bowline out Of our line. We hung this over one side of our raft. Then we hung our feet over as bait. When the shark spot ted our white toes he made for them and we caught with Q rope. We never got, nipped. ~
 we had tough time taking him aboard. We hit him on the head with everything we had. But that didn't do the job. So four of us held the shark while a fifth knifed him, We ate the liver and heart right away. Most of the rest of 1t spoiled.

100000 German Troops at KharkOv Front; Furi.
 Ous Fighting
BY HENRY SHAPIRO

Moscow, March ll.-(UP)-Red army forces fighting against heavy odds are repulsing powerful Ger man attacks in crucial battle south and west of Kharkov, front reports said today as the Soviet press again emphasized the lack of a second front in western Eu- rope.
 (The German high command re- ported thatt he Russians had been thrown back toward Kharkov and fighting now Is going on at the northern and western outskirts of the city) .., ..
 The Soviet offensive on the cen. tral front gathered momentum. The Russian assault forces drove to the approaches of Vyazma, key strong held of the crulnbling German salient, while another column pushed down from the north In an attempt to cut the Smolensk rail- road behind Vyazrna and trap It's garrison.
 At the same time the southern arm of the southern arm of a great pincers movement advanced below the Orel-Bryarsk sector in what shaped up as a grand scale attempt to envelop hundreds of thousands of German troops on the central front.
 On the northern wing Marshal Semyon Timoshenko pounded on toward Staraya Russa, occupying several more villages south of Lake Ilmen.
 Dispatches from the southern front along the northern Donets river and in the Donets Basin, while heavy attacks by numerically su- perior Nazi forces were beaten off south of Kharkov.
 Details were meager on the new battle for Kharkov, main base of the eastern Ukraine which the Rus- sians recaptured 2S days ago. They drove on far to the west and south west. only to lose their gains in a retreat of 30 miles when the Ger mans threw powerful reinforce rnents into a counter offensive.
 Taking a cue from Premier Josef Stalin's recent assertion that the Russians are facing the full weight of the German war machine alone,

OIL RATIONINC
 CHANGE SOUGHT

Boston, March Il tU,P9 - Mayor Maurice J. Tobin of Boston has appealed for a change In the oil rationing system to prevent n shortage of oil for hot water heating this summer. and recurrence Of the fuel oil famine next winter,
 To National OPA Administrator Prentiss M. Brown, the mayor last night sent two suggestions for changes in the oil rationing system in Southern New England.
 First, the mayor proposed that Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Connecticut users be issued addi. tional oil coupons equal to 10 per cent of the rationed allowances made last Fall. These coupons, nc said, would compensate for the re- duced value of period 3 coupons to nine gallons and period coupons to eight gallons,
 Second, the mayor called for the use of consumer tanks to store oil in anticipation of next winters needs. When the saturation point of bulk storage plants Is reached In the early summer, he said. system should be set up to i'll the tanks Of domestic and commercial users,

STEERING GROUP
 WITH RUML PLAN
COP. House Committee Votes Support to 'Skip'
 A-Year' Income Tax \

Washington, March il.-(UPl- The Republican house steering committee voted today to support the Ruml "Skip-a-year" plan for placing income tax collections on a pay-as-you-go basis.
 Meeting with Republican leader Joseph W. Martin of Massachusetts, the committee decided to oppose the plan adopted yesterday by the House Ways and Means committee to retain the present collection sys- tenn and levy e 20 per cent with holding tax on July l.
 Unless everybody in the country is going to pay more than one years taxes in one year." Martin said, i've can't possibly get current under the plan proposed by the House ways and Means committee"
 The Republicans plan to back the version of the Ruml proposal em- braced in a bill by Rep. Frank Carl son, R., Kan. which could combine a 20 per cent paycheck withholding with a plan to cancel a full years taxes for all income taxpayers.
 "The Carlson plan not only would make the taxpayers current" Mar tin stated, but 1t also would bring in $3OO0, 900 900 more in revenue to the treasury"
 Martin predicted that the Carlson bill will gain enough Democratic support when the issue is forced In the House to assure its approval.
 The steering committees action does not necessarily mean that all Republicans will back the Ruml plan. Fer example, Rep. Bertrand w. Gearhart. R., Cal. 6 member oi the House Ways and Means com mittee, has endorsed the commit. tees withho olding plan.
