Editorial Comment
MODEL CITY

President Truman has thrown his influence
squarely behind the idea of Federal aid for
urban redevelopment. His fortnight stand on
this issue must be regarded as one of the most
important recommendations he has sent to
Congress. Fortunately, his views seem to COIN
eide with much of the thinking that is being
done in Congress on the subject.
The President frankly recognizes the fact
that private enterprise must do major part
of the job. But private enterprise can be put
to work in clearing up the unspeakable slums
of American cities only if Government pre-
pares the way. Land must be assembled
through the powers of emient domain. Ex-
cesslve costs of land in overcrowded urban
areas must be written down. The new develop
ments must be keyed into comprehensive CITY
plans. Mr.. Truman expects the cities not only
to do their own planning but also to bear fair
share OF the public expense of redeveloping
their SUM Washington Post

Wartime

Daylight-saving time became war time by
Act OF Congress on February 9, 1912 and was
to remain in effect for six months after the
war unless Congress by joint action abolish
ed it sooner. Congress seems to be inclined
to dispense with it any day now, and for the
most part reversion to sun time will be CRATE
fully received by the public and industry
alike.
War time was instituted to save coal and
water power used for lighting. The general
experience has heen that whatever daylight
was made available toward the end Of the
working day were Offset by necessary artifici-
al lighting at the start of the day.
The economists may be able to provide fig
ures showing some saving in coal and water
power, but the chief benefit has been the ad-
ditional hour Of daylight on summer evenings.

Tax Reductions

The Star-News advocates tax reductions,
and hopes that the proper congressional COM
mittees will proceed with plans already I'M
derway to make them. But the Star-News
would regret as sincerely as anybody if Con-
gress made such large cuts in taxes that the
nation could not meet its debts as they fall
due and make substantial reductions in the
extraordinary financial obligations incurred be-
cause of thu var.
If the cut in taxes should be the equival-
ent of only tt waste and extravaganza of the
last twelve years, it would mean smaller tax
bills all around. Elimination of the tremendous
payrolls of unnecessary bureaus plus Army
and Navy buying on peacetime basis would
bring the annual cost of government down
billions of dollars. It might not be good politics
to do this. especially as it concerns federal
payrolls, but it certainly would be welcome
to the run of the mine paypayer.
The Star-News would not have any tax re-
duction below the actual need but insists that
all taxes hitherto collected for war purposes
which are no longer existent and for payrolls
of nonessential offices should be stopped with
out loss OF time Even the few dollars apiece
this would mean would help the people over
the hump of the next few years, which are 60
ing to be difficult despite the rosy outlook of
the optimists.
