GOVERNMENT ORDERS
BAN ON ALL ALCOHOL
MADE FROM MOLASSES

WASHINGTON, Feb. 21- Up -
The government Thursday order
ed ban on the use of can alco-
hol for alcoholic beverages, effec-
tive tomorrow.
In announcing the order, the
Civilian Production Administration
said it is being imposed to pro-
vide additional molasses - from
which cane alcohol is made - for
more essential uses.
The agency said molasses is "ur-
gently needed" to increase output
of industrial alcohol (which has
widespread industrial uses and is
also in urgent demand for cattle
feed"

The survey indicates that about
one labor union member in every
four would be interested in join
ing a new labor party. And the
drawing power of the new party
would be nearly three times as
great from Democratic ranks as
from Republican ranks.
The vote of union members polled
on the new party follows:
LABOR UNION MEMBERS
Say they would join
new party y--.-----249o
Say they would not join --56
No opinion 20
The vote among men and women
who express present-day prefer
ence for the Democratic or Re-
public Parties:

COP. Democratic

new party ---- so 1870
Would not --83 81
No poinion ---12 20
If one out Of every four union
members did actually join labor
party, as the poll indicates, the
party would have considerable
weight in elections, since the total
membership of labor unions is
$4,000, 900 or more.
THIRD PARTY movements in
this country have never amounted
to much since the days of Robert
LaFollette the elder. In 1924 his
Progressive ticket polled II per
cent of the total vote cast for
president.
The next third party vote of any
magnitude was for the Lemke
ticket in 1886, which amounted to
only about two per cent of the
total vote cast.

"A Trillion Dollars

How much is a trillion dollars? Can
you envision it? Is there anything
to which you could compare it-like
twelve inches is a foot, or $3.50 feet is
a mile?
The Einsteins of the world, of course,
are used to t~rillions and even more, as
applying to distance. But can even
they, with all their wizardry, transmute
distance into specie and get the true
picture? Hardly.
Yet we are informed by U. S. Treas
ury analysts that in the six defense
and war years nearly a trillion dollars
was spent in this country. The total
amount, according to these experts,
was $685., 900, 900, 900. It all went out
during the calendar years of 1910
through 1915. And everybody seems to
have come out ahead except the fed
eral government.
Quoting the Associated Press, which
reports the matter, the Treasury De-
partment reports:
The Federal Government spent
1866, 000, 0G0, 900 and took in only $780,
600, 900, 900 in taxes. 1t had a deficit
of 5000, 600, 900, 900.
The State and local governments
took in $58, 000, 900, 900 in taxes, but
spent only $50, 600, 600, 900. They wound
up about $4,000, 900, 900 ahead.
Individuals and corporations came
out $201, 900, 900, 900 better off. Their
income was s773, Ooo, ooo, 900 after their
taxes were paid and their other ex-
penditures were $572, 900, 000, 1000.
The SO, 900, 600, 900 surplus piled up
by State and local governments and
the $201, 900, 900, 900 surplus accumu-
lated by individuals and corporations
exactly equaled the Federal deficit of
5000, 900, 900 900.
And the APP adds:
""That, the treasury men say, was
no accident, since total spendlngs and
total income are really the same figures
they are the head and tail of a coin.
In other words, one mans expenditure
is another mans income. ,
"All these operations explain the
origin of a major national headache

Deserve A Raise

The folly of granting an increase in
wages to union labor workers, in which
the federal administration participated
with President Truman's encourage
ment and cooperation, is to be seen in
the fact that the unionized minority
of the population is better able to meet
the steadily advancing cost of living
while a vast majority of the people
working for their living are left to get
along as best they can without an
equivalent increase in their earnings.
Furthermore, this union labor raise
in wages has a large part in the in
creased cost of production in all major
industries and is so imposing an addi-
tional and unfair burden p nom
union workers.
The present situation we'll illustrates
the selfishness of labor leaders who
called strikes in their unions with COM
plete disregard of the millions not
benefited by the increases thus obtain
ed and left despairingly to face the
higher prices of the necessities of life
on inadequate pay scales.
A local example is offered by NUM-
cipal and county employees all of whom
are underpaid in proportion to the pres
emit cost of living, and are looking to
the City Council and the Board of
County Commissioners for additional
compensation. They are entitled to a
raise, not merely the police and fire
men, but all persons on either payroll,
and now is the time to see that pro-
vision is made for it while both city
and county governing units are at work
on a new budget.
Certainly they are as important in
the life of this area as the union labor
ties in any region to whom President
Truman and his administration sur
rendered when the strike wave spread
throughout the country.

fulfill. We are opposed to using a
club over Congress for a grab-bag
purpose such as this"
The significant point is that the
union movement, which betrayed
all service men, causing the death
and injury of many, and profiteer-
ed and racketeered throughout the
war, has met them at the separa-
ton centers with open arms and
cries of brother" and now has
moved into the political position
of defender of their rights during
thier absence. And MI. Reuther,
who started the chain of explosions
which set back reconversion so far
that new automobiles are still a
rarity and set in motion the in
flation which has made so many
veterans and others homeless, is
invited to address a group of vet
Grams under left-wing leadership
consisting largely of professional
propagandists and to abuse Con-
gress for conditions directly trace
able to his own strike. He did this
without the slightest challenge as
to his union'c conduct in the war
or its responsibility fo- shortage
and distress among discharged
veterans today.

you very probably have not been

Because-and you might look at

count the check you've torn off

that includes me because 1 don't
point out your difficulties without
painfully remembering mine) half
of you, I say. have incomes of less
than $4,000 per year. Even ST.
900 per year is less than 5000 per
month and, as I say, you've prob
ably been spending. according to
statistics, a few dollars more than
5000 per month.
Therefore, you've probably been
digging into your savings. Or else
you've been letting those monthly
bills slide: thinking surely next
month will bring a boost in the
income and you can take care
of them then.
What is more, two-thirds of you

Like Feeding A Fire

Because the funds of the Export
Import bank are running low, and
President Truman is convinced that
Congress would defeat a request from
him for an additional appropriation and
so has no intention of being embar-
raised by such a rebuff, the prospects
that Russia might get a loan from the
United States at least before 1947 are
slim, if not actually nil. By next year
the idea of loaning any money to the
Soviet Union may have been complete
ly abandoned, as it we'll deserves to be.
In the meantime Russia is playing
her hand with the object of winning
the friendship of the Germans, and
some observers believe that a Russian
German alliance, despite Germany's war
destruction and Russia's u%nprepared-
ness, would be a signal for future con-
flict with the Western Allies. Even
with the vast quantities of Lend-Lease
war equipment in Russia's possession,
that power could not undertake to wage
another war now because it lacks in
dustrial production capacity, and &C.
cording to the best authorities docs
not possess the atomic bomb.
The keener observers, however, are
firm in their belief that as a means
of offsetting what the Moscow regime
believes to be an alliance between the
United States and Great Britain, the
Muscovites are laying the foundation
of an agreement with Germany by
which the two, in the f~ullness of time,
could undertake such another adventure
as Hitler started in 1889. If there is
grounds for this belief, Germany, ruin
ed as it has been, virtually holds the
balance of power on the European Con-
tinent.
Also, in case the observers have the
right slant on Moscow's program for
the future, it is just as we'll that the
American, British and French are pre-
pairing to unite their administration in
their occupation zones independent of
Russia's policy in her zone and in the
nations of eastern Europe over which
she has gained control or at least ex-
ercises the greatest influence.
For this country ever to lend money
to Russia would be like pouring gasoline
down a burning oil well.

row to pay the excess of it's spending
over it's income.
ut still owe that money, plus some
extra borrowing and some pre-war
debt, amounting in all to more than
1858, 600, 000, 900 with a reduction to
about $685. o0, 600, 900 scheduled for
next month"
It all sounds sa strange to the oldsters
who remember their happiness when
they were given a penny to buy a stick
of candy on Saturdays-after they had

and the year before and so on.
That, may I emphasize, is your
average annual take FOR even this
period of imitation. And that is less
than $500 per year per family be-
cause the figure includes all the
income turned in by all members
Of your family. Moreover, that is
all the money you made before
your income taxes were deducted,
Some OF you, of course, are a lit.
tie better off in your incomes. One
in 10 families have pooled incomes
of 81, 1000 to 81 500 and one in each
80 or "a families take in more thar
81, 500 each year.
Because it's mostly statistical,
let ME quote to you how you stand:
THE mass Of American families
have no substantial amount Of
quickly cashable assets and two
out of every five average less than
$40 each in savings bonds. other
securities, and bank deposits.
"The new report shows the fl.
nancial condition Of the families
which constitute the median, OF
middle-group, in each income
bracket as:
"Under 81, G00-median income,
5000; meoian assets in savings
bonds. othe- securities. and hank
deposits, $40.
ISL, OO0-$f .e39 - median income.

''$4, 000-Sz, 9S9 - median income,

$500; mediar assets, 81, ZOO.
"S7, 500 and oversize, 900; and
1920"
On the face Of them, these statis-
tics are cheerless, but they must
be true. And it's always bad to
have cold figures stare us in the
face like this because most of US
because, perhaps, of those swollen
wartime wages and profits -
probably have been spending our
dough under the illusion we had
a great deal more of it than we
actually have.
There is, however, some comfort
TO be found in the comparative fig
ures OF 1888, say. In that year, as
l recall, the average annual in
come in the United States was
just a little more than $500.
SO, to bring You a little cheer to
60 under the wet blanket 1 threw
over. you, I'm pointing out that
you're, probably going into the hole
no faster now than you did in 1888
when you could buy a whole ham
for maybe a couple of dollars.

For A Deeper Channel

Support for the 35-foot channel in the
Cape Fear river is growing so rapidly
that 1T is reasonable to think it NAV be
recommended by Col. George W. Gil
lette, district engineer, before whom
the hearing on the project is to be held.
Colonel Gillette says he is surprised at
the vast amount of data being assem-
bled for presentation at that hearing.
From other sources it is learned that
the states industrialists are giving the
project their support and pledge them
selves to increase their use of the Port
Of Wilmington. On the strength of the
growing commerce in g t, Colonel
Gillette's forecast that the deeper chan
mel stands a good chance of being au-
thorized if the cost does not exceed
"the benefits to be derived therefrom,'
would seem to be due for fulfillment
With such a fine prospect in sight
there is the more reason for all bust
ness interests here and throughout thu
state to redouble their efforts for tn.
-eep channel, lest through over con
fidence the project be lost.

BRIDGE
BY WILLIAM E. MCKINNEY
Americas Card Authority

While the plane trip to Cali
fornia was the first air ride for
several of our members, they soon
forgot they were in the air and
settled down to a serious discus
sion of bridge, during which to-
days hand came up.
You can see that the decla-er
has two illnesses. Which one should
he take first?
OF course we know that if the
king-jack and one spade and the
king of clubs are all in the East
hand, there is no chance to make
the contract.
The experts agreed that the first
finesse to be taken was the club,
and if it held, a safety play could
be made by leading the ace of
spades. With this line of play you
actually make seven-odd, as the
extra club can be discarded on the
good diamond.
Of course if the club ~finesse
failed, the spade finesse would
have to be taken.
North's bid of four clubs and
South's bid of four hearts were
ace-showing bids. While the ex-
perts do use slam conventions at
times, they still find that ace
showing or control bids are safer
than a plunge into a blind four
no trump ace-asking bid. Very
often the four no trump bid will
indicate the only line of defense
to defeat the contract. However,
when the important thing to find
out about a hand is aces, the tx
pert does not hesitate to use the
BlackWood Convention.
