KELLEMs LOVE LETTERS

Members of the Senate Post OF
flee Committee have been debating
whether they should call this col
umnist as a witness when they in
vestigate the Viyien Kellems love
letters to an alleged Nazi agent.
Senator Kenneth mo Mountain
eer) Mcclellan is determined to call
me and make me tell where / got
the contents of the Kellems letters.
The gentleman from Tennessee,
who recently spent forty-five min
utes harranguing his Senatorial col
leagues about the evils OF the
Washington Merry-Go-Round
wants me called as the first witness.
Senator Clyde Reed, Republican
of Kansas, disagrees. You'll only
make a martyr Of Pearson Reed
argued in private talks with his
colleagues.
Senator. Homer Ferguson, Repub-
lican of Michigan, agrees with Reed.
They want to call chief censor By
ron Price as the main witness,
would even prefer that Mcclellan
did not serve on the investigating
subcommittee. However, since Nc
Kellar Is chairman of the full COM
mittee, he has the power to appoint
himself chairman Of the sub-com-
mittee and he insists on doing so.
This columnist will be delighted
to appear.

GARDENING WOULD HELP

Juneau civic leaders seem to be overlooking one
angle in attempting to give the Juneau boys and girls
something to do in the way of constructive recrea-
ton.
Ted Carter of the University of Alaska extension

the use of All clubs if the kids want something to do
In States the youngsters go for the agricultural

their own fairs and produce showngs
Competition between the clubs as well as within
the separate clubs seems to have great deal to do

Juneau businessmen and organization could well
afford to sponsor such club in this district and also
give it start by putting up the prizes to be won

KNOX AND ICKEs

Not many outside the Cabinet
realized that a genuine friendship
existed between Secretary of the
Interior Ickes and the late Secre-
tary OF Navy Knox. In fact, Ickes
had something to do with getting
Knox appointed to the Cabinet.
Their friendship dated back to
the fact that they both came from
Chicago, both have fought the Chi
caeo Tribune, both were Teddy
Roosevelt Bull Moosers. They dis
agreed on lot of things. rowed
over lot of things, but respected
and liked each other.
Shortly before Knox died, an
under-coylr move was launched
inside the Navy to Gust Ickes as
president of the Petroleum Reserve
Corporation, which also includes the
Secretary of War and the Secretary
of the Navy.
Undersecretary of the Navy For
restal initiated the paig n
against Ickes and tipped off Under
secretary of War Patterson to make
a motion at the next meeting Of
the Petroleum Reserves Corpora
ton that Ickes be ousted and a
naval officer become president in
stead.

Initiation Gap
Washington POST

Washington POST
An effort is being made to beitte the significance
of what Leon Henderson called our Initiation gap
Those who make this contention seeking to bolster
it up on figures Just issued by the Federal Reserve
system These show long-continued gap of vast
proportions which, however has not led to imitation
Ergo significance of the gap has been exaggerated
Let us first look at the figures. The April issue
of the Federal Reserve Bulletin states that Income OF
individuals after increased tax payments have con-
tinued to be substantially in excess of the supply OF
goods and services available for purchase" During
l943 and the early part of the current year. TINS sur
plus is estimated to have amounted to about n cents
out every dollar of income after payment OF taxes
The result of such high percentage of surplus spend
ing power has been tremendous expansion of cash,
bank deposits and Government security holdings in
the hands of individuals and unincorporated bust
nesses the increase for the past three years being
estimated at approximately 10 billion dollars
These are the figures of surplus purchasing power
that are cited as evidence that economists have
exaggerated the dangerous potentiaties OF the So
called initiation gap. Nothing could be further from
the truth however, far as the announcements OF
the Federal Reserve Board economists are concerned
To be sure, they point out that prices have been
fairly stable in recent months while increases in
expenditures for goods and services have been mod
crate They further emphasize the gratifying fact that
instead of using increased funds available for spend
ing to bid for the limited stock OF civilian goods the
public holding large share OF surplus income IN
the form of cash. deposits, and Government ooilga-
tons
Nevertheless there is suggestion OF COM
pacency or ntmation that it is all nonsense to fear
uncomfortable initiation because the tremendous m
crease in consumer purchasing power has SO far not
produced serious initiation. Instead the Federal Re-
serve Bulletin emphasizes the fact that Government
controls over prices and rationng are chiefly re-
sponsble for restrained consumer buying, together
with public attitude that has favored savings rather
than spending 1T is important the Bulletin states
that the controls and the inducements to save be con-
tinued in full force during the war period in order
to reduce the pressure of increased incomes and ac-
cumulated buying power on limited supplies OF goods
and services" That is implied admission that the
initiation gap measured by surplus purchasing power
is an ever-present to price stability calling
for constant vigilance the part of the
authorities and continued pressure upon the public
to invest excess income instead of spending 1T for
immediate qualification.

HEART AND HOME: The dis
cipline learned in women's war or
CARNATIONS is to benefit the AM
erican home Scientific housekeep-
ing methods will be assured and
order will prevail where careless
ness formerly caused confusion.
BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Plans for
industrial reconversion and expan-
sion should be pushed constantly
this year on the assumption that
the war will end suddenly. This
preparedness will prevent disastrous
unemployment.
NATIONAL IS SU ES; AS the
peak of war peril is reached this
midsummer, political preoccupation
Of public men will arouse criticism.
The stars presage serious clashes
of opinion among legislators.
INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS !:
Norway and Greece should benefit
relief measures will rescue numbers
Of children from starvation and i'll

Jupiter in July may be most for
tunate for Norwegians. Greece's
outlook for 1914 is encouraging.

Patterson made the move in the
meeting. But instead OF the Navy
picking up the cue, as was expected,
Frank Knox sat mum. Apparently
he didn't want to move against his
old friend Ickes.
NOTE-In proposing the Arabian
pipeline deal, Ickes was largely act
ing for the Navy, which wanted U.
S. oil companies to have stake in
Near Eastern oil as a future re-
serve. Ickes caught a barrage of
criticism as a result, plus no thanks
from Undersecretary Forrestal.

Redress at Polls Elliott
Advises Spencer Residents

Residents OF Ypsilanti School
4 District Number One, who protest
ed against contemplated changes
in Spencer School during the next
school year were told by Superin-
! tendent of Public Instruction Eu-
gene B. Elliott that their only re-
dress is at the polls. The advice
was given Tuesday evening at an
open meeting in Simmonds School,
! Willow Run Village.
There are two possibilities OF So
luton at the polls, it was brought
out through questioning OF the
state official, either replacement OF
members Or zI"T II from the
school district. Definite informa-
ton on how the latter may be ac-
complished was lacking at the meet
! ing but Mr.. Elliott said he would
look 1t up.
Other questions were asked by
the professors. They were told by
Mr.. Elliott that the only way to
get an audit Is to pay for it,. Mem
bers Of the group had expressed
the opinion that since state money
is spent in the district the state
would be interested in its expendi-
ture. Specific questions regarding
financial reports brought the gem
eral response from Leo Hossman,
treasurer, that the books are In
order. Questions regarding child
accounting broug t the reply that
there is a very good system" and
that the state is not interested In
making a check other than a rou-
tine one. When residents OF Spen'
Ger district asked Mr.. Elliott II the
school board shouldn't explain why
changes are to be made in Spen-
Ger School faculty the superinten-
dent OF public instruction stated
that They don't have to give rea-
sons"
Questioned regarding school
board meetings Mr.. Simmonds ex-
planned that they had never been
closed to the public. He said
however, that it had happened that
special meetings had been held
without written HOtiCc " mehioSiS
when all happened to be present
at one time and decided to hold an
impromptu meeting. II has also
happened that when one OF these
impromptu meetings came within
a short time OF the scheduled
monthly meeting. the monthly
meeting had been omitted. he ex-
planned. :.
He denied that he had promised
decision on a petition signed by
3s4 residents of the district asking
that the principal Of Spencer School
be retained. He explained that
he had promised consideration" OF
the petition and that the only &C
ton taken was mo action was
taken.
After the directors protested
that they felt they were being
suppressed" Mr.. Elliott advised
them TO Put in another board and
