evoking the derisive laughter OF those
nations that regard their economy
as something altogether too serious
to turn over to pushing and gouging
politicians who lack the intellectual
capacity either to grasp the problem
involved or to solve 1t.
Veto Of Second Logical.
It is easy enough to see now, in
fact it required no masterrnind to
discern at the time, that If .Presi-
dent Truman was right in vetoing
the bill that Senator Taft left on
his doorstep he should, with equal
firmness, have refused to take in
the subsequent waif that a BIZ
partisan combination of selfish
politicians offered in their turn. If
he was right in vetoing the Taft
bill, he had no logical or political
option except to veto its degenerate
successor. If he had done SO. the
Republicans would not today be
riding their Nightmares or indulg-
ing in their raucous horse laughs;
they would not be having so much
fun out of the slogan: LET them
eat horse meat"
The responsibility for our un-
happy situation would have been
clear to any one who was able to
read. But, as so often has been the
case, the President guessed wrong
and has had to eat crow at a time

the other politicians got busy. That
self-sacrifcing, idealistic organiza-
ton. the National Association OF
Manufacturers, sent its muscle
orator" President Robert r. Wason,
up and down the land demanding
the abolition of price control. very
large sums of money were spent
in display advertising OF these views.
Many of the newspapers joined IN
the hue and cry. Then congress
passed bill that was plainly SUI
fering from poliorlyelitis at birth
on account of the Taft amendments.
With a vigorous pen, the Presi-
dent vetoed this crippled bill. Ches-
ter Bowles wisely resigned as dlrec-
tor of OPA. Then the discouraged
members of Congress set to work TO
patch up another bill. And they did.
In nv column printed on July 8, I
said that this bill, which the Presl-
dent reluctantly signed, was a
"fake":: that it was "a masterpiece
Of deceptive double talk"
OPA Became Corpse.
I added: "It will no more hold the
price line than colander will hold
water" 7 was not impressed by
Price Administrator Porter's state
ment that this new version was
workable" except perhaps IN a
politicaI sense. I said: 1.-The Presi-
dent is in a position where he can
now 90 to the people in the Novem-
ber election exclaiming I saved the
OPA.' And so he did (save the OPAl ,
but he did not save price control.
He caught hold of a drowning man

and hauled a corpse aboard the
water logged boat"
That the OPA set up under the
bill signed by President Truman was
a corpse even the President himself
admitted in his speech on October
IA. There is not, enough left Of 1t to
provide protein for a single chicken.
But meanwhile the game goes on,
with the Republicans on one side Of
the net and the Democrats on the
other, furiously hitting at the elusive
shuttlecock but with their minds
distracted by the coming November
elections.
1t would be an amusing sight II
the result were not likely to be so
tragic. I want to say that both par
ties deserve to lose on November 5
on this issue. A pretty spectacle the
politicians have been making Of
themselves. While other countries,
some of them devastated by the
Nazis are making steady progress
toward economic recovery, our make
believe statemen in this country are

knew that his share OF 1t might be
a fighting mans last meal.
But the civilian should have COM
planned. Yes, that's what / said
he should have complained. He
should have stood up and fought
for his share of the meat, and the
heck with the guy with the bayonet,
or the guy in a torpedo bomber, or
the guy riding the frozen seat OF
an antiaircraft gun aboard a. man
of-war.
The civilian had to get to the
polls during the war, didn't he? He
had to make his way to the voting
booth to cast his ballot, didn't he?
we now know, here in this country,
after President Truman's speech
removing the price control from
meat. and the actions of politicians
which led up to that removal OF
control, that the assault at Casino
or the taking of Two Jima, didn't
require the meat-given strength
that is going to be required to get
the voters safely to the polls.
Voters "Great Danger"
When a man gets up on V-day
in November - and V-day now
means Voting Day, don't forget that
he'll have his steak. or his bacon,
or his sausage, or his chop, to pre-
pare him for that agonizing journey
to the voting booth. He needs a
slice of steak of give him strength
to back that car out of the garage.
He needs that extra helping OF
crisp bacon to get him to the bus
stop. Those who will have ito under
go the supreme hardship, and walk
8 or 10 blocks to the voting booth,
must be fortified by breakfast OF
good red meat.
How could man be expected to
brave the dangers Of a street cross
ing unless he was full OF sirloin?
Who would expect a man to know
which switch to yank in the voting
booth unless he was alive with the
proteins that come from a choice
cut of beef? The voter, on his way
to establish a Democratic or Repub-
lican beachhead at the polls, faces
dangers no soldier ever faced.
I'm not guessing at this. The
facts prove it. 1t is tougher to vote
than it is to fight. The man VINO
hit the beach, or took of for an
attack shortly after dawn, usually
had tucked away plenty of meat,
but he didn't know when he
was going to get his stomach filled
with meat again. And no one cared
a great deal. If he had to live on
iron rations for two days. three days,
or two weeks, that was his business.
He had to keep driving, keep NOV
ing, keep going forward, no matter
what was in front OF him.
A Little Sickening.
But not the voter. A voter with
out meat might forget to vote for
this party, this man, this admin
istration. He might even desert his
party and go over to the other side.
He must have meat once, TWICE. or
as many times a day as he feels
he needs it.
Is it any wonder that citizens
grow little disguised with political
parties? This is no direct rap at
the Democratic party. I am sure,
lust as you are, that if the Repub-
lican party, finding itself in the
same position as the Democrats are
now in, would have done the same.
After all, the Republicans are
laughing at the Democrats discon1-
fiture, aren't they? And when they
laugh at the Democrats they are
laughing at millions of Americans,
aren't they?
A little sickening, that's what 1t
is.

reputation for himself in eastern

Of duty in that area. Fritz was an

Some OF the honors and laurels
bestowed and earned by Fritz

captain and high scorer of the
New York Athletic Club quintet in
i4-45 and the top honor of them
all his selection as captain of the
All Star Army-Navy League team.
The New York HeraldTribune said
Of his selection: THE best ball
handler in the circuit is Fritz Ben
netts. who one time tossed them in
for Michigan Normal, when he was
rated one OF the best in the land.
Fritz is tall enough to cope with
any OF the skyscraper players and
can more than hold his own at cap

ball to a teammate. Fritz is
