ident thu children, inherently,
ave no prejudices. On this basis,
nd to prove his belief to others,
re has founded Camp Willowomoc,
n interracial camp in the Cat
kills near here. The camp, now in

setting for the mingling of chill
dren of varied races and creeds.

Willowmoc this year expects

camp, % Negro, So white, and the
remainder other races; last year
48 were Negro and so whites. The
campers, who include DR.. Patrick's
daughters, come from 20 cities and
their parents represent 81 trades

 For many months the Slav bloc has been tryin

 The Security Council was never able to drop tn hot potato, however, for the that Russia was always ready to invoke her veto to prevent that action Now of sudden, Poland and Russia pressing fol immediate abandonment cf the issue in the Council They want it considered in the General Assembly instead. They have good case since the United States and Britain have been contending all along that Franco is more suitably dealt with in the Assembly.
 It therefore appears that the Council, when it gets to the subject week will drop the hot potato and let the General Assembly tumble with it for 8 while. But the Assembly is not charged with taking action against states which endanger the peace. Il cannot do much than approve a fresh con- demnation of Franco's regime This, 1t already has done by unanimous vote at previous session.
 The attitude of the Russian and Polish delegations and the expected acquescence of the Anglo American group also underscore the futity of direct action change the internal makeup Of state-at least a state which has given overt cause for collective sanctions against it. The great majority of United Nations undoubtedly dsapprove Franco, his aims and methods because they all similar to the Fascist regimes against which a great has been fought The Franco regime perpetuates some of the ideas and technques against which the United Nations struggled But just the United States did not remake Argentina by pressure, the United Nations likely to reshape the political pattern of Spain by collective action.

WHERE TO TRIM?

Sentiment among Republican leaders in Congress is crysalizng around the notion of slashng Federal taxes in genera by about 20 per cent Some have mentioned higher figures. and others are extremely doubtful of the possibility of reduction anywhere near 20 per cent But the goal Of influential leaders now on record Unless they deliberately going to unbalance budget now virtually balanced, which is unthinkable they will reduce expend tues by 20 per cent, bit more.
 If it is proposed merely to reduce personal taxes by 20 per cent the problem is simpler. For that would entail cut of only s4 900 100000 nsed of s80oO000- GOO But such a course would leave intact series of emergency excises less desirable than the levy incomes
 It will be simple to find the right places to cut taxes Excise leves certain luxury goods, on tele- phone and telegraph communications and on ments are singularly unpopular and were intended only fer the wartime emergency It is to be expected that they will be repealed And personal income are the logical place to turn in making any major reduc ton of the tax burden
 : But corresponding reduction in expenditures will be painfully difficult In round numbers, and on the basis of $40Ooo 100000 budget veterans benefits and pensions now require about s4800 100000 It would be profoundly difficult muster Congressional majority to slash this item materially.

 Much the same is true of public works and various aids to agriculture. These can be reduced, and, in fact being reduced But however drastically pub lie works pared very little of 20 per cent total reduction can be accounted for.

Cost of Living
(NeW York Times

Estimates of changes in cost of living during the and transition years usually make allowances fo several factors which have not been measured ada- quately in the index. As a result of special study made by Presidential Cost of Living Committee two years ago. it concluded that the official index understaed the actual rise in living costs by about five points This adjustment made to compensate for quality deterioration disappearance of lowprice lines reporting of prices actually charged and similar factors
 The Bureau of Labor Statistics has recently stated that the need for this adjustment will terminate. Thus in the Monthly Labor Review for September, l946 it is pointed out that f prices Of preWar mer- ehandise for most articles have been available for use in the index by the end of 1946 now seems likely, most of this flve-point adjustment will no
 longer be applicable at that time" In other words, as pre-War quality of merchandise is more avail able to be priced for the index, and free prices replace controlled prices the index will reflect more accurately the actual level of retail prices of con- sumers' goods. Even if the Bureaus estimate to the date turns to be too optimistic, it prob able that by early next year this adjustment will no longer be necessary. This factor will have to be kept in mind where wage adjustments are demanded on the basis of changes in living costs

Ickes points out that strip mines produce l00,0o0,00o tons of coal annually. and that if the Government got busy with hull- dozers and steam shovels and en- listed a corps of Seabees, this could be increased enough to keep the railroads and public utilities going.
 However. the Truman AdminiS- traticn is much more skilled at cooling its heels than spark plug ging a big drive for more strip mining

 This office ill turn contacted half 9 dozen people in Solid Fuels Ad- ministration and the Civilian Pro- duction Administration, all of whom were courteously anxious to be helpful, but could do little. In the end it was necessary to fill out CPA form 4425 showing the need of this coal machinery and send it to John E. Steinhauer, Metals and Minerals Division of the Civilian Production Adminis- tration.
 Upon a proper showing of urgen- cy it was said that the CPA would issue certificate which would
