All. FALLING PRICES!
Cincinnati Enquirer)

(Clnclnnau EnqulTeT)
 Believe it or not, the price of something is going down. And one of the essentials of life, at that The House has passed and sent the Senate bill to reduce the rate for rstclass local mail from three cents to two cents
 In such matters this the Postoffice Department is great comfort Right in the middle of period of Ing prices and of prices that would if the OPA gave them a chance we find chance to get something for less than have been paying.
 To be sure the three-cent rate revenue mea- sure which cost accountant would try to justify So what the House voted for overwhelmingly is really tax reduction. But the fact remains that something all buy frequently is actually going to cost less than it has been costing

LOST WAGES
(Rocky Mountain News)

NICOChy IVIUUIIIdIII IVeWS1
 The General Motors strike goes into it's 95th day. and read that the United Auto Workers Union estim- ates that 175OO0 idle auto workers have lost total of $106, ,22O,0O0 in wages, due to this strike.
 The union is demanding increase of 1912 cents hour.
 If arithmetic is approximately correct, that that if the strike settled today and the workers returned immediately to their jobs and they got the 1912 cents increase, they would have to work " weeks of five days of eight hours each, plus four days more to get back what they have lost.
 Which ought to prove something This seems to offer substantial evidence that machinery should be developed whereby wage disputes be settled by bargaining, mediation and arbitration while the work CTS keep their jobs and on the payroll.

Many Good Reasons

What happened that day made the best news of the week but, important as it was, did not eclipse the brilliant tidings of the previ- ous week when President Truman signed a bill to place a group of government corporations under control of Congress. These highly privileged, wild entities had been foraging without restraint in rich fields of industry for varying numbers of years.
 The Chief Executive compli- mented Congress for roping and branding these freebooters, as well he might. Indeed the 79th Congress deserves a great deal of commendation. One of its most notable achievements of the First Session was that exhaustive job by the Manasco Committee, K raying the so-called Full Employ ment Bill. It deserved to be diag- nosed thoroughly, and it was.

Wealth and Plenty

l wish every American could live on a farm long enough to learn how plenty depends on pro- duction. The more of anything people produce, the more of it they have. There's difference between abundance and prosper ity; production is only one ingre- dient. likeness and scarcity lead directly to poverty and want. It is true of man. It is true of a na- ton.
 Prosperous, productive people can afford to yield their sub stance freely to help genuinely unfortunate folk who are in need. On the other hand it is not a kindness to quench any mans de- sire to make his own living and build his own success. Doing such things for people is unfair to them. We should be proud of our 79th Congress for holding that everlasting truth in mind.

Why should be open up for observation eV- erythng in sight in country and the military where operate and then stand behind Russias iron curtain and not see what goes on Tn their country, their military areas?
 The recent Canadian spy episode incidentally is per tinent.
 If there is anything in reciprocity brotherhood of man, mutual confidence and giving light, why con- finue this one-Way policy?
 General Hodge is cracking down on it, is talking the only language the Russians will understand
 In this connection quote below from letter writ ten by Ephraim Freedman. He has been for 20 years direction of the Bureau of Standards for R. H. Macy & Co, New York He writes
 "The Nazis said that democracies are inherently weak What the Nazs did not proclaim that the strength of dictaorrued countries lay in secretveness
 For years Japanese ports closed to ship ping and travel in Japan was taboo for Americans ex- cept under close regulations For years, Germany carrying gigantic plans for warand few outsiders realized it. For yearS entry into Russia has been ban ned except to a handful of Americans, while travel through Russia and still s forbidden except under closest surveillance.
 If any country in the world is permitted to prevent the free travel of foreigners through it's domain what there to prevent another Pearl Harbor another rape of Poland, on an atomic bomb scale?
 We, democracy, have opened our ports our lab oratories factories, military institutions to rep resentatives of other countries only to find that the know-how of some of them gathered here returned in death-dealing packages
 "As democracy, we should continue to permit free travel and free dissemination of knowledge of any thing that will benefit mankind But it too uch for to expect nay, to demand that these things be recp rocated in like fashion?
 "The United States should refuse to grant to foreign and to foreign agents any rights privileges not granted to American citizens in foreign countries Doesn't that make sense?

 Moscows position the Canadian spy ring is very clear. It plot by Prime Minister King to in- suit Russia Moscow says "No authorized to obtain information which turned out to be of no value to us. If Jimmie Byrnes has any of his copies of the Argentine spy ring report left he might ship them to Moscow-1t apparently worked much smooth CT.

Football

The decisive victory of the New
York Giants over the Redskins on
Sunday, should end for all time, the
oft-repeated story that professional
football is played for ''the gate"
Everyone knows that a play-off in
Washington would really have pack
ed them in, had the Redskins won,
but the two teams played one of the
hardest and toughest games of the
season-and they don't play that way
unless the games are strictly on the

The game was a tough one for the
followers of the Redskins to take,
but it certainly was a good thing for
professional football.
