1t stands to reason that the car most

A Thought For Today
We Ought To Be Ashamed

has been suggested that should welcome the bread shortage because empty bakery and grocery shelves mean that oaves feeding the hungry of Europe and Asia That is fine, comforting of looking at it. But of the skepcal might be inclined to take less optimistic view.
 A few weeks ago Americans asked to use less bread Shortly aterward announced that there would be 25 percent cut in wheat for domestic flour In mat ter of days another shortage was upon us. Why!
 There are several probable reasons though admittedly the situation coued enough to put of them in the realm of inference rather than documened fact For thng this is the period before theencw wheat harvest and thus the added drain of export shipments is felt more keen For another the distribution of existing supplies is not even
 But stl the is only 25 percent. Why then has the supply dropped 90 percent in many cities! Part o the perhaps be found in the bread queues and in the minds of many persons standing in those queues
 We strongly feel-though there is way to prove It consumption by slice day. there would have been no shortage But the mention of short supply m any thing Is enough to make rush forth buy, and hoard
 We saw it throughout the when word that ration ing of item of food to be begun or resumed was enough shortage in that food We see 1t today in the continuing fourishing black market.
 Too many people just plain pggish. They blame OPA (which certainly isn't bameess) the grocer or baker But often the truth is that they just feel cheated dscrmnaed against deprived of something victims of hunger and cannot bear to be nconvenenced
 And they scheme and plan. They buy too much at prices that high They stand line to get theirs while the gengs good ussng and fuming losing time and and no and beefseak aren't going to kill them They can't believe that with millions starving little mild fast ing might be good for their souls their cOnscences snd their bodies.
 There have nefciency and nepude in the relief program But that doesn't excuse public seshness wnch only makes matters And certainly matters would be better if all of would try to behave like compassionate human beings.

EIection-Year Solicitude

During the recent Senate debate draft extension there were echoes of sentiment heard frequently in both Houses Congress during the long and generally ngOrous postwar discussion of this That sentiment usual iy expressed shocked and sancmOnous phrases to the effect that it would be terrible thing to subject teen age boys the rough degrading atmosphere of adult Army life
 We wonder any of these expressed another sentiment which during the surely heard in many neighbOrhOOds throughout the land It's an old sentiment-somehing to the effect that "the Army will make of Johnny Tommy whoever the somewhat pampered yOungster under discussion might be.
 Of course, Johnny Tommy the risk of being wounded killed He taught t0 kill other men. But no one seemed think particularly caOus heartess to suggest that Army life will do SO-and-SO good We don't recall complaining specifically then about the danger and degradation of Army life upon the young
 Now the tragic necessity of killing and the risk O dying are Over Yet many veterans of the fighting still n service away from home and family and children, many others have been returned the expense of defensive strength because have their hands the awful possibility of Drusng young sensbes by eK- posture tO Army life. t is doubtful that this eleconyear s0icitude has votes impressed many voters by it's sincerity.

tNeW York Daily Mirror,
 California IS a long way from New York. almost as far as you can go in this country between two points. Of course. the big airplanes aIe making the trip ia a relatively iew hours, and the lei plane prophecy of things to come-in a relatively few minutes
 Snll the average New Yorker and the average resident east of the Mississippi think of California as a beautiful but distant State. He pats it down la his postwar dreams as a place he wants to visit. fl there ever is any post var and he can gel a car again

 But the point Of the story, and the spice 0f the story. Is how he won and against what odds.
 Governor. Warren had done a fl1le job as Californias chef executive. He booked after the whole people s interests and conserved the peoI1le' $ money. Of course, that made him conservative. a target of the raol- calls the Reds, the nuts, and the CIO.-PAC.
 What a campaign they put on against himi
 The cIo.-PAc. drafted" a Democrat to oppose the Governor, who Is a Republican. All the comInunlSilc ngcIS went into the battle confusion, s1ll1- ilcati0n, and the usual attempts to divide Americans into classes.

Congress Surprising

That is impossible in our complex economic nechan- ism Of today what is likely to happen # the free enterprisers of that caliber have their way is that ven go beadlong into boom and bust and then free snterprise" really will be doomed
 Removing the price ceilings on livestock. meat. poultry eggs and dairy products On June so as pso- posed by the Senate Banking Committee. Is bound to cause an immediate price rise in those things most essential to all families, and which take SO much of ,lle budget Of those with ow incomes. Congress has been high -preasured into this action by misleading propaganda from special interests. including some speculative interests
 The people are hard to fool. They won't take
 Other provisions in she senate bilL well as in he passed by the House will raise the price of al the other things people want to buy now- clothes automobiles. refrigerat0rs radios farm ma chineTy This n the hectic pressure for profits not needed to keep these various businesses going and prosperous

 The senate has the opportunity when It takes ID the OPA extension bill next week to rectify the mistakes made by the House and its Own banking committee. t did with the draft. But from this Dont looks like losing battle for the public unless he public makes itself heard again. as has before
 There is talk that President Truman would veto Ilch a b that passed by the House and the one approved by the Senate committee. At q press conference be said he would have to analyze what ever bill finally was passed before he could decide
