U.S.. Spending 5 Times
|0ver Peacetime Rate,
|Reece Tells COP

Charging that the Truman ad-
ministration's budget for the pres
ent fiscal year not only increased
the national debt, but also provides
for Federal expenditures approxi-
mately five times the amount ever
spent in any peace-time year, Re-
publican National Chairman Car
roll Reece today urged the young
voters of the country to elect q
Republican Congress next Novem-
ber.
He spoke at a luncheon given by
the Executive Committee of the
Young Republican National Fedora
ton at the Statler Hotel.
"Mr. Truman's predecessor in Office
(Franklin D. Roosevelt) was not
noteworthy for economy in the
spending of public money" Mr.
Reece said, but now we are pre-
sented with the question as to
whether Mr.. Truman is such a
desirable luxury that he is worth
flve times as much as his prede-
cessor."
Mr.. Reece pointed out that it is
the younger generation, and prob
ably its children who will have to
pay the debts which have been in
CURED under IA years of Democratic
rule. 1t Is necessary, therefore, he
said, to have the country's finances
administered by the Republican
party rather than the Democratic
party which is responsible for the
mess.
1T would be difficult for us to
lose ,the election) this year, even
If We tried to do So" continued
Mr.. Reece. But one thing which
in my opinion would greatly i'm
pair our chances would be for us
to allow ourselves to become in
volved in maneuverings looking to
the selection of presidential candi-
date two years from now. This is
no time to divide our forces
Mr.. Reece's statement was in line
with the policy announced by him
when he took the national chair
manship-that the wole effort of
the campaign tbs year would be
elect Republican Congress and
that presidential politics would be
"out" for this campaign.
The meeting of the Executive
Committee today was devoted to
planning for the coming campaign
and to working out details how the
young Republican organizations
can best aid in the campaign.
Particularly will they seek sup
port for Republican candidates of
the first voters and war veterans.

| Return 10 Old Virtues
Stressed in Sermons
On 81. Patrick 5 Day

4 Justice for all, love of the pool

Ndual, as preached and practiced by
st. Patrick In the 5th century, car
drive out the snakes Of fear and
suspicion coiling to strike the world
today and leave it in peace and Sc
curity.
Il That is the message carried away
by the wearcrs Of the green from the
first postwar celebration Of st. Pat
rick's Day in Washington churches
yesterday.
Urges Keeping Old Virtues.
II Don't brag about the virtues Of
your ancestors unless you are care
ful to keep some Of those virtues in
yourself, advised the Rev. Hugh Nc
Carron at high mass in Holy Trinity
Catholic Church.
Il The largest and most colorful OBJ
servance was held at st. Patricks
Church, Tenth and g streets NV,
where the Most Rev. Lawrence ].
Shehan, auxiliary bishop of Balti-
more and Washington, celebrated
solemn pontifical mass.

America today stands strongly
in need Of another st. Patrick to
rid our country of the same element
Of paganism that infested Ireland"
he said.
Recalling the principles and
teachings of st. Patrick, Msgr. Rus
sell observed that defeat of our enc
mics cannot insure lasting peace.
We must have "seh-conquest:" we
must live by the teachings of Christ
to live In peace with ourselves and
the world, he explained.
Teachings Apply Today.
The large congregation of st.
Aloysius Church was told that 1t Is
a mistake to consider st. Patrick
only as the patron saint of ireland.
The Rev. Neil Gargan, 8. j., pastor
Of the church, said his teachings
are the same teachings Of Cath
olicism throughout the world today.
st. Patrick spread the doctrine Of
Christ in Ireland as Bontifice did
in Germany and Gregory In Eng
land, he observed.
True followers Of st. Patrick must
realize. he said, that the value of
the individual comes from God and
does not permit or acknowledge the
superiority OF any one class or
group.
Appealing for constant practice Of
the principles st. Patrick taught,
Father Gargan warned that 1t
would not do merely to memorialize
him as an historical figure on one
day.

Heredity Sets A
Limit On Cows

STOCKHOLM.-In New Zealand

tute at Wiad not far from Stock

initiate research work along the
same lines.

which was founded in 1928. is a
first-class model farm. The main
building is an old manor-house.
and around it large number of
new buildings, modern cow-sheds.
etc, have grown up.
For our experiments we use
only duplicate twins, lie. twins of
the same sex and the same inher-
tied characteristics, says profess
sor BONNER, the director of the
Institute. The twins are given
different food. and the effects are
carefully recorded. These expert
ments, which were begun before
the last war, have given interest
ing results. Thus. we have found
that heredity sets a limit to the
milk production of each COW. If
COW is given more food than cor

production, the latter will not be

slightly"
