PRESIDENT LAUGHS OFF
EFFORTS AT ECONOMY

The President took advantage of the
forthcoming Inauguration ceremony and
its outlay to give the laugh to Senator
Harry Byrd and his watchdog committee
on government extravaganza.
In quite the happy mood as reporters
asked about the inaugural ceremonies
and the decision to hold them within the
White House rather than outside as has
been the general custom, the up-coming
fourth term chief executive remarked at
the low cost of the rites when held inside.
And then he got a laugh for himself when
he ruminated on how "Byrd's face would
burn" when he learned that possibly only
$4,000 of TIE inauguration committees
llotted S25, 900 would be expended on the
January 90 recurring event.
Veteran reporters refused to join in
the presidential chuckle inasmuch as con-
gress always has fixed a liberal amount
for such ceremonies and there was no
occasion to change the pace this time.
No penny -pincher ever has objected to
this expenditure-there has been no pro-
test to the $4,000 previously expended
to inaugurate Mr.. Roosevelt as President.
Furthermore, when the committee made
the allowance it was not known that the
rites would be curtailed by being held
inside the mansion.
Making fun of the one and only group
which conscientiously has attempted TO
help the nations overburdened taXpay-
ers NAV be the Presidents idea of efforts
at governmental economy, but it hardly
can be said to be the attitude Of the tax
payers.
A better joke on Byrd and his COM
mittee, maybe, would be if the President
should spring the idea of footing the
fourth-time bill himself, seeing that his
II years in office has meant total OF
$500. 900 in salary and that the next four
years will bring it to S1,200,000.
But it can be taken as a surety that
the presidential quip is not going to curb
Byrd's watchfulness.
His committee will be reminding the
President to keep his campaign pledge
and begin soon to lop off some thousands
of the diversified army of federal employ
es. And it will not be laughing matter
for the chief executive-maybe.

proposals for a United Nations or

foresee every important question
that might arise Nevertheless,
there Wsrc q number OF questions
on which these teohnicians in their
seven weeks of deliberation could
not agree.
One of these unsettled points was
the question OF voting and the veto

members of the Security Council,
as previously discussed: exact status
cf the new International Court OF
Justice as a continuation of the old
World Court at The Hague: manner
of liquidating the old League OF Ma

NOW THEN. LETS HAVE FULL
BlDDLE-LITTELl STORY

That the President has full power to
name cabinet members and assistants
and that likewise he holds full power to
remove them, is we'll known; that the
President exercised proper power when
he demanded and got the resignation of
Attorney General Biddle's assistant, Nor
man M. Littell, also is accepted, but when
the President left the broad hint to con-
gress to keep hands Off, then he again
is in the wrong and only further reflects
his ever increasing autocratic notions of
his office and of the prerogatives and
duties of congress.
Littells charges against Biddle are too
grave to pass with an executive shrug.
The ousted aid made the charge that
Biddle aided the former close-to-the-
throne new dealer, Tommy Corcoran in
cases affecting the government and in
which the department of justice also was
interested. Biddle's attempt to pass the
matter off as a clash of temperaments
can't get by. His own record is none too
blameless.
Littell now brings the charge that Bid
die went out of his way to urge better
settlement for Corcorans clients than
the government offered in a land con-
demnation proceeding.
This is grave charge and all the more
so because of the relations of Corcoran
to the administration.
Part of congress- duty is to conduct
Investigations of any and all departments
of government. Here is a case in point.

PILLS FOR PREMATURE
AGING PEOPLE
(RiverSide Daily Press)

1t is highly possible that the present
so-called normal life-span of fifty or
sixty years is not at all normal. This is
the conclusion reached, after investiga-
ton, by serious group of international
scientists working on the problem of pre-
mature old age.
One of the groups leaders, DR. V. Kor-
enchevsky. who is conducting expert
ments at Oxford university on a grant
from Lord Nuffield, says they have de-
termined that the life-span is purely
pathological. He believes that future de-
velopments of biology and bio-chemistry
will enable scientists to tell just why one
man dies i'm his fifties while another lives
to the probably more normal age of a
hundred.
They are hoping to isolate and classify
the chemical compounds which affect
senle decay. Once these are discovered,
it will be possible to administer the prop
er compounds to assure much longer
active life.
Who knows? Perhaps one day we shall
be ordering our chemical life pills as
easily, and absorbing them as matter-Of
factly as we do our vitamins today.

Speaker Stresses
j. 5. Traditions
Al Kiwanis Meet

THE development of the Ameri-
can personality and its preservation
in times to cCme" was the subject OF
an address delivered before the
regular meeting of the FL Centre
Kiwanis Club Friday at the Barbara
Worth hotel by Pres ident William
Jones of Whittier College.
THE outstanding traits of that
personality" Jones said, ARE de-
mocracy and optimism. Both were
bred CT the grit and initiative with
which pioneers went about the task
of settling the great west" he con-
tinued.
DIDN'T JUST HAPPEN
America didn't Just happen.
Jones declared 1T was brought
about by the operation of certain
specific forces, and those forces
must be preserved if America is to
be preserved. Those are the forces
WhereWith pioneers deal with from
tiers"
Since graph C frontiers
have disappeared, we must address
ourselves to new frontiers"
Jones indicated a few: The re-
building Of American cities as places
Ct beauty and health the develop
ment of physically and mentally
sound citizens; the elimination of
illiteracy.
The speaker declared that one
needs only to ride into Chicago on
q train to realize that American
cities must be transformed He re-
minded his audience that a great
many drafted men have been re-
jected for physical defects which
proper medical ana dental care dur
ing childhood would have prevented.
He said that the head of an Oregon
army camp recently told him that a
group of draftees from southern
state proved to be so per cent il
literate.
Jones said that the true Ameri-
can personality was developed be-
tween 1920 and 1890, and it is that
PERI onality which must be preserved.
The KiWanis Club will meet
Jointly with the Rotary club at the
Hotel California next Thursday.
Jones is scheduled to speak in Ell

Peter r,:s son

While the United Nations organi-
cation proposed at Dumbarton Oaks
would not have any chief executive,
it would have a secretary general
who would be chief administrative
officer and its most important Off
cial. He would be nominated by the
Security Council, but he would be
elected by the general assembly II
the general assembly didn't like any
one nominated by the council, he
could be voted against by major
ity of the assembly and 1t would
then be up to the council to keep
nominating others until it found a
satisfactory candidate.
The secretary general would serve
as secretary of the security council
the general assembly, the economic
and social council, but he would
have no vote. But his powers would
be considerable. He could call to the
attention of the security council any
situation threatening the peace OF
the world. This is new power not
enjoyed by the secretary of the
League of Nations.
He would be director of the Or
ganization's permanent Staff, the
international civil service which
would develop, just as it did in the
league, to do the housekeeping and
the chief clerking for the various
departments of the organization.
Once a year he would have to re-
port to the assembly on the Wo.I CT
the organization and this annual
message would likely become its
official history.

THE CHARTER COULD
BE AMENDED

That the final charter to be drawn
up by all the United Nations in
their meeting next year will not be
a complete or unalterable document
is indicated by Chapter XI CT the
Dumbarton Oaks proposals, which
outlines provisiOn for amendments.
Three steps are indicated by which
the charter may be changed. First
the assembly must pass an amend
ment by two-thirds vote. Then it
must be ratified by the governments
of all five nations having perma-
nent seats on tine security council
and by a majority of the nations
having seats in the assembly. Fail
ure to ratify by any one of the big
five nations would veto an amend
ment under this proposal.
Provision is made for transi-
tional arrange ment to maintain
peace and security, pending the
time when the United Nations or-
ganization can be set up, which may
take year or possibly more.
In this interim period, the four
nations represented at Dumbarton
Oaks-the United States, Great
Britain, Soviet Russia and China
would agree to consult with each
other and with other nations under
provisions of the Declaration of
MOSCOW signed in l943.

OTTAWA AND THE DRAFT
christian Science Monitor)

Need for requirements among Cana
das overseas forces has brought the con-
scription issue almost to point of crisis
at Ottawa. Almost. But once more Prime
Minister Mackenzie King has laid out a
detour around the rough patch of road
which confronts his Government. Now
the question is, Can he induce Parliament
to follow that detour?
There are two wings of likely dissatis-
faction with the order-in-council just is
sued by the Canadian Government. One,
with Quebec background, will oppose the
measure to make available $4,000 draftees
for overseas service on the ground that
it violates the principle of volunteer SER
vice so far followed by Canada, largely
out of respect for the French population.
Another group, including some Liberals
as we'll as Conservatives, will say the
measure does not go far enough and that
il is time Canada faced up squarely to the
conscription issue.
But in between these two groups Mr..
Mackenzie King may find enough sup
port to enable him to skim across one
more of the numerous political Red Seas
which have confronted him in these trOu-
blous years.
The Prime Minister'S position is
strengthened by his bringing General A.
G.. L. McNaughton into the cabinet as
defense minister General McNaughton's
prestige is enormous because of his part
in building up Canada's fighting forces.
Moreover he has not been finally COM
mitted as between the principle of vol
unteer and conscript service for overseas
needs.
The Governments decision, following
upon efforts by General McNaughton to
supply present needs by increased vol
unteering, seems plainly taken as result
of military urgency and should, there
fore, be less unacceptable to Quebec than
it might be if it could be traced to merely
political pressures.
