Better Citizens

Many men in the armed services Will nave
experienced the horror of the uncontrolled fire
ty the time they return from the war; They
also will have seen scientific fire prevention at
work.
When the Americans invaded Africa, the Ger
mans sought to burn them out Incendia-y la
den nombers struck at our supply lines Cen
eral Eisenhower called urgently for trained
fire fighters In response, the Army Engineers
established school in this country to train
men IN the use of the latest fire fighting equip
ment Since then, more than six thousand men
have undergone this specialized training and
have seen sent to very theater of operations.
The school features methods Of combating gas
din oil and ammunition fires, with particular
emphasis on plane crash blazes. In fighting
the latter squads operating like football team
punch wedge-shaped path through the wall Of
Rescue men clad in asbestos suits dash be.
tween the protective sheets of spray and gel
the crews out in from 10 to 30 seconds.
AL Of this may not seem to have much con-
nection with fire prevention in civilian life.
But the very fact that thousands Of men will
come home with pictures of the tragedy that
fire can wreck impressed upon their minds
while other thousands will have basic knowl
edge Of how to combat fire, should reflect IA
vorably on the cause Of fire prevention. These
men will be little more cautious with fire ir
their homes They will unconsciously use great
er care in thee1andling and storing of inflam.
mable o. corlbustible materials. From them
their families will learn caution.
These men who have had experience with
fire in war, although they may not realize it.
will make better citizens because of their ex
perience.

Social Security

House members opposing any increase III
social security are confident that they can
freeze payments at the present rate, WIN
majority support in the senate. but doubt that
thew can muster strength to override presl'
dental veto.
It would appear then that the closing days Of
the 18th Congress will be characterized by
bitter conflict between the White House and the
CAPITOL which will be regrettable on the score
that with the war engaging chief attention and
demanding greater concentration upon its sue
cessful prosecution time should be lost on IN
+ernal controversy.
That President Roosevelt will use his veto
power is not to be doubted as the increase in
social security is one of his pet projects and
be is constitutionally averse to changing his
mind as we have lie rned over and over during
his many years as Chief Executive. II ne
follows his customary course and II 1T proves
true that the necessary vote will be lacking to
cc+ bis veto aside. the House will have spent
its ffert in vain; which will be great pity as
the rank and file of Americans are already car
rving too heavy a tax load and any addition to
it will resemble the straw that broke the cam
els back.
If might not be so bad if any penny collected
bv the Treasury were earmarked Tor social Sc
curitv obligations. If the money coming from
rayrolls constituted separate fund and was
administered as such there would not be SO
much reason to complain Of the project. But
as long as it is not, as long as it all goes into
the common hopper and its revenues are used
for other purposes, any increase clearly IS the
uuivalent of heavier tax loac.
If Congress is actually interested in freezing
the rate it is obviously its duty to muster
CROUCH votes, not only to adopt the necessary
legislation, but also to set aside the anticipated
veto.

The Literary Guidepost

Without directly accusing Wise
they attributed critical sponsorship
of these publications to that emf
nent bibliophile and suggested ar
explanation of his advocacy wa:
in order. Wise essayed a few an
swers that didn't satisfy his in
quirers. Then, after three years 0.
public silence, he died.
Today a new chapter is added
1t is given in a book called 1.-The
Correspondence of Henry J. Wise
to John Henry Wrenn," compiled
by Fannie E. Ratchford.
The main body of the book, how
ever, is made up of the CORE
spondence between Wise in Lon
don and Wrenn. a Chicago book
collector. After Wrenn's death, the
library, along with the correspon-
dence, was acquired by the Uni
versity of Texas at Austin.
Here comes to light one Of the
singular points of the whole affair.
Recently Il period Wise was foist-
ing the spurious publications on
Wrenn at high prices, he also was
acquiring for the Chicagoan ire
valuable authentic first
editions at what now seem very
reasonable prices. Another curious
fact is. that the condemned PAM
phlets themselves now have a col
lecting interest.

England Wants Houses

Britain's housing shortage has led to an ap-
peal for American prefabricated houses when
or need for them falls off. Sale Of some OF
them to our Allies would have advantages, par
ticularly to the British who suffered so severely
during the air war, and if transportation could
be provided the transaction, if carried out on
a large scale, would further help balance lend
lease obligations.
But there is this matter Of ships 1t is to be
doubted that any could be made available for
moving houses for long time after the war in
Europe has been concluded. With the war in
the Pacific rapidly reaching an about stage
and the demand for supplies and men in
creasin1 daily, every vessel capable OF carry
ing cargo will be required for Pacific service
It might be two even more years before bot
toms could be available for this purpose.
The mere fact that somebody wants these
war houses, however, may serve to increase
their value at home and possibly serve to pre-
vent their destruction by wasteful govern
ment or their sale at junk rates.
1t is human nature to attach special worth to
something we possess soon as it is wanted
by anyone else In the circumstances there is
at least possibility that earnest effort will be
made to dispose of them at a reasonable price
at hor4e and not have them torn down and the
IL mber burned.
It has already been suggested that the prefab'
ricate1 homes, of which many thousands have
been erected for war workers. would be great
Improvement over many farm dwellings.
This proposition to send them to England might
stimulate interest among federal disposal
agencies in so disposing of them.
