Time for Debt Retirement
Cincinnati Enquirer

By and large most everyone accumulated some money during the war. Individual savings are at an ll-tme high. The supply of money never greater State and local governments in better shape financially than they have been in many generations with treasury surpuses the rule rather than the exception
 The skeleton at this feast is the U. S. Treasury By 1940 the Federal debt stood at level higher than some of the countrys top financiers and economists had believed the nation could support few years previously Since 1940 that debt has increased nearly six times The interest charges alone the debt amount to more than $5O0O0 100000 year. and con- stitutes the next-to-largest item in the budget
 These circumstances considered, it is obvious that the Federal Reserve Board is right in asking that there be no further general reduction of taxes and that the Federal debt be decreased through economy in governmental operations.
 If anyone is disposed to quarrel with the idea of continuing a wartime level of taxation, let him reflect on the fact that, from financial standpoint the government is off than at any time since the war started. Only to a small degree the it was fought on promise to-pay basis and the time to pay is not far distant. The short-term debt rep resented by war bond investments, has first lien upon the Federal treasury From a Federal debt standpoint lack than $2000000 000 of being back peacetime footing.
 A debt so tremendous could easily become an "Old Man of the Sea- in Sinbad, riding forever on the backs of the taxpayers and draining away the nations financial and economic vitality Five billion dollars year to spend for interest charges before anything be spent for other purposes is a truly appalling state of affairs.
 Naturally, the debt cannot be retired in year or even a decade but plain common dictates that it be retired quickly possible while economic circumstances propitiouS they are now.

ROOSEVELT CHILDREN ROW

For years, the Roosevelt family has stuck together. Battered con- tinuously from the outside, some times weathering difficult divorce storms, the Roosevelt children nev- CT once had any political differ ences-at least publicly.
 But now, the voters of Seattle are watching redhot family con- test between the two most political minded of FDRs children. Jimmy, now Political Director of rhe Independent Citizens Commit tee, has thrown all his weight be- hind fighting Representative Hugh DeLacy, while sister Anna Roose- welt Boettiger is trying to help Howard Costigan retire DeLacy in the Washington state primaries | Tuesday.
 The family warfare started last month when Jimmy, ill and unable to appear in person, sent warm endorsement of DeLacy to q Seattle meeting of the Independent Citi- zens Committee. Jimmy also sup ported Senator Hugh Mitchell and : CongreSsmen John Coffee, Henry i Jackson ana Charley Savage, all of Washington and all Democrats. However, Toward Costigan, for mer political ally of DeLaey's 1 jumped into the race at the last minute and wrote Jimmy protest ing the DeLacy endorsement.
 Jimmy asked for a letter from DeLacy outlining his political phil osophy, got the letter, and then sent Costigan a sweeping endorse ment of DeLacy.
 Meanwhile, sister Anna, who has
 lived in Seattle for some years
 viewed her brothers intrusion from
 California with jaundiced eye
 Doubtless she felt somewhat like
 Senator George of Georgia when
 her father invaded the Senators
 home state and proposed that
 George be defeated.
 Anyway, sister Anna wrote broth
 CT Jimmy letter attacking Delacy
 and praising Costigan. She alsC
 wrote Costigan giving him her un- qualified support. Finally she au- thorized publication of both let ters. Meanwhile, DeLacy, unable tc get equal publicity in the Seattle papers, has made recordings o ! Jimmy's endorsement, and is play ing them over Seattle radio sta tions.
 So tomorrow, the people of Sc l attle will have to choose betweer the two opposing candidates of tn, Roosevelt family: In one corner , Howard Costigan, wearing tn } colors of sister Anna, and in tn,

mediately added his enthusiastic endorsement. Bob Hannegan also gave his support, though he said he would hate to lose his assistant.
 The Presidential lunchers then looked at the new Secretary of the Treasury, John Snyder. He is the Cabinet executive who would have to work closely with the new Direc- tor of the Budget and his OK would be essential.
 Snyder, however, said nothing. It was obvious he did not approve of Sullivan.
 This illustrates une of the little understood factors which operate inside the Administration. It is doubtful that even the President himself fully understands it. His friends don't tell him. Truman has been constantly bemoaning the fact that he cannot enlist good men for Government service; but he does not seem tc realize that many good men refuse to serve because of the Missouri gang.
 They know that their work would te constantly vetoed.

MISSOURI GANG HAS LAST
 WORD

One such case occurred the other lay when Truman invited J. R.. Parten, wealthy Texas oil man and ex-member of the Texas University Board of Regents, to become chair man of the Full Employment Com nittee. Later Truman announced Parten would not accept because he was making too much money That, however, was not what Parten told either the President or Speaker Sam Rayburn who had urged his appointment.
 Parten told the President that he thought the job of Full Employment Chairman and Director of the Budget should be rolled into one. If the Committee to bring Full Employment is to promote Govern .nent spending, then it cuts across the Bureau of the Budget, and the two jobs must go hand in hand.
 Knowing the close friendship be- tween Truman and John Snyder Parten did not add (What he told others that he could not work with John Snyder. So, since Shy der and the Director of the Budget must cooperate the Texas oil mar politely declined on the ground that he had to undergo an opera tin

LAPS SAY SURRENDER
 WAS NOT UNCONDITIONAL

TOKYO. Argument that Japan 6HBuopIpuo9un I9pueIIns lou DID and does not nave to obey every Allied command was made this week to the Far East military tribunal by the chief defense counsel for Japans major war criminals.
 Attorney Ichiro Kyose's chal- lenge that the court lacks author ity to try the 28 defendants on 55 counts was taken under advise ment as the tribunal adjourned un- til later
 Joseph Keenan, U. S. prosecutor. labeled Kyose's argument as the height of absurdity" and offered documentary evidence that Japans surrender was utterly without condition" ------
 Kiyose said that in giving the tribunal jurisdiction over crimes against humanity General Mac Arthur IS exercising authority which he does not possess and the Japanese people are not bound to obey that order
 As Keenan spoke of the "pillage murder and plunder' which Le said the 2S defendants had caused, he was interrupted by Chief Jus tice Sir William Webb, who asked:
 Do you think those rhetorical phrases are fitting at this timers
 Keenan replied that he had no desire to let the defense's conten- tions go unchallenged.
 Justice Webb delivered a second admonition to Keenan when the prosecutor asked to read excerpts from a 1922 radio address by Pres ident Roosevelt which he said showed an early Allied intent to bring to justice Axis leaders and henchmen for melting war
 Webb cautioned the florid-faced American against making 'infIam- matory statements" which might prejudice the court.
 After consultation when Keenan assured them he would keep with in bounds of decency and good taste, the nine justices permitted him to quote Roosevelt, Stalin, | Churchill and Chiang Kai-Shek.

ASSESSMENT WORK IN
 1946 IS EXEMPTED


 In order to retain thier right under existing Federal law, hold CTS of unpatented mining claims in Alaska are required to file Ol cause to be filed on or before noon of July 1 a notice of their desire to hold their mining claims under the act now in effect, according tC a statement issued by B. D. Stew art, Commissioner of Mines, at Ju neau.
 This certificate of intention fig to be filed in the office of the U. s. Commissioner where the location notice or certificate of the mining claim was recorded.
 The existing suspension of the requirement. of annual assessment work on mining claims in Alaska is authorized by the act of May 2, 1943. This act, still in effect with out modification according to in- formation received by wire from Delegate Bartlett, states that, pro- -Yided notice of desire to hold his claims is filed by the holder on or before July 1 of each year as stip- ~ulated in the law, such suspension shall extend until the hour of l2 o'clock meridian of the first day of July after the cessation of hostil- itiss in the present war as deter mined by proclamation of the Pres ident or concurrent resolution of the Congress" No such proclama- tioA or Congressional resolution has as yet been announced.
 Interpretation of Law
 According to an interpretation of this law that has been furnished by Delegate Bartlett and confirm ed by George Folta, counsellor at large for the Interior Department, if cessation of hostilities should be declared prior to July 1 of this year all holders of mining claims would be allowed a full year from that date, or until July 1, 1947, within which to complete the first required annual assessment. If such declaration should be made after July l of this year then the clam-holder would be allowed a full year commencing July 1, 1947 in which to complete his first ap- nual assessment requirement.
 The above statement is given in order to correct recent published press articles circulated in Alaska which state that the law suspen- sibn of assessment work on mining claims expires on June 30 of this year, which is erroneous.
