CONGRESS Probes
Steel Companies

HING TON, May %
The nations four largest steel
companies were summoned to
Washington last week to testify
on legislation designed to plug
the loopholes in the anti-monop-
oily laws. u. S. Steel, Bethle-
hem, Inland and Jones & Laugh.
lin were the firms whose prac-
tees Senate subcommittee
wished to learn about.
The anti.monopoly bill, intro
duced in the Senate by Sen.
Joseph O'Mahoney 3D., Wyo.)
and in the House by Rep, Estes
Kefauver ID, Tenn.) would
prohibit monopolistic mergers
engineered by the acquisition of
assets. The Serman Antitrust
Act now bans only the acquisi-
ton by one firm of a rivals
stock. Kefauver's bill got push
forward when it was approved
by a Judiciary subcommittee.
Meanwhile new storm warn
ings against the rush of Ameri-
can industry toward monopoly
were sent up in New York by
Wendell Berge, former chief of
the Justice Departments anti
trust division.
Domination of economic life
by the concentration of private
economic power inevitably leads
to complete control of the econ
omy by the government" said
Berge in an address to the New
Council of American Business.
"This country cannot risk rep.
etition of the spiral of consolida-
tion, sp lou normalcy and
false prosperity which followed

Budget Clip

SHIN TON, May %
+ (LPA) - A cabal of southern
Democrats played stooge last
week for the Republican ma
chimes tax program, but backed
a proposal to defer debate on the
/ tax bill until it was shown
whether the COP succeeded in
clipping President Truman S
S37,5O0,000,00O budget by more
than S4,OO0,OOO,OOO.
Some administration Demo
Gratis, however, saw a faint pos.
sibility that the delay might be
followed by a stalemate in which
no tax legislation would be
passed this session. Truman has
asked that no tax cuts be made
until next year.
The Presidents budget has
been slashed - with disastrous
effects on the Labor and Com.
merce Departments already-by
6,000,000,000 in the House and
by S4,500, 100000 in the Senate.
Sen. Walter George 3D., Ga)
contended, however, that the
COPS final reduction would be
no more than S2,000,000, 900.
1t was almost certain that if
the southern Democrats failed
in their attempt to delay con-
sideration of the bill for three
weeks they would join the Re

The legislation, among other
things, cuts individual income
taxes from 1012 per cent to 30
per cent but has been criticized
as inequitable by all sections of
labor. Liberal Congressman de-
scribed it as "a victory for the
greedy and a defeat for the
needy" ."
In the House, Chairman Har.
old Knutson (R., Minn.), of the
House Ways and Means Commit
tee, took a straight NAM posi-
ton against revival of the un-
distributed profits tax which
from 1886 to 1888 taxed corpor.

tributed to stockholders. The
present tax law provides for a
surtax on corporations that &C.
cumulate improper surpluses,
but as the Wall Street Journal
pointed out last week, This
provision is not being enforced
because there is no clear def.
milton of what constitutes a
proper surplus for any particu-
ar company"

Yourself!
BY Ruth Taylor

The one person you can't
dodge is yourself. The one
criticism you can't dismiss is
that of your own self knowl-
edge. The one charge you
cannot argue against is that
before the bar of your own
conscience. The one person
you have to live with is your
self.
Know yourself and your
capabilities. If you spent as
much time and energy trying
to live up to what you want
to be, as you do putting on a
front for the benefit of others,
you'd really get somewhere.
In an organization to which
l belong, there is one man
who knows himself. Everyone
looks up to him, for, no mat
ter what the circumstances,
they know that he will decide
according to what he thinks
is right for him to do, with
the result that he is always
fair to others.
There is a great deal of diff
ference between being ego
tistical and being self-contain-
ed - just as great differ
ence as that between isola-
tionism, which is the egotiSm
of a nation, and self-suffi-
cheney. One is the front, the
other a future. Know your
sell and live up to yourself.
Be yourself. You will feel
fear vanishing because you are
sure.
SOLUTION
Be your own master. 1t
isn't easy, but its rewards are
great. Therein lies the only
real freedom from fear, be-
cause the solution to any and
all problems lies within ones
self.
Find out what you believe
and why. Then you won't be
swayed by momentary emo
ton or by unreasoning preju.
dice. You will be sure and
secure, able to 60 ahead be-
cause you know where you
are going.
To be self contained, indie
pendent and self-reliant is to
belong to ones self. It means
that you will not need to lean
on others or to depend on
what they can do for you, or
to feel that to get ahead you
must push others aside.
And don't be afraid to
change your mind. 1t doesn't
make any difference what :
your opinion has been - get
right. No longer is our world
bounded by where we can
drive, nor are our lives bound
ed by our recreations. We are
citizens of a world and that
world will be not only what
we make it but what we our
selves are.
Know yourself!

IT, Planning To Mark
Brotherhood Celebration

in the absence of the Rev. W. ].
Stephenson, president.
The ministers adopted a resolu-
ton protesting against any gen
eral or specific disregard OF the
proper observance of the Lord S
Day.
The text of the resolution is as
follows:
Statesmen = Educators : Jurists
Industrialists LaW-Enforcement
Officers = Scientists
Men in positions of leadership in
America view with alarm the in
creasing tendency to allow secular
activities to encroach on the OBJ
servance of the Lords Day as a
day of rest and worship.
Activities that may be good and
wholesome in themselves but
which conflict with the hours OF
worship in our churches are det-
rimental to the spiritual and
moral welfare of VI community
and to the life of our nation.
The Creator established the
physical law of one day of rest
in seven. Our scientists have con
firmed the law with their reports
on the alarming increase of de-
g%enerative diseases, particularly
heart diseases directly attribut-
| able to our failure to observe fun
damental and spiritual laws OF
rest and relaxation.
We. the members of the Will
mington Ministerial Association
viewing the definite trend in our
community oward the disregard
of these fundamental laws, dc
hereby protest against any gen
eral or specific disregard of the
proper and historic observance OF
the Lords Day as set forth in the
Word of God, and practiced by the
founding fathers of this country
and appeal to those in authority
in civic and social circles to re
frain from arranging any activity
that shall conflict with the hours
of worship in the churches of this
community.

END AS A MAN, by Cald-
er, Willingham Vanguard;
S2.75).
For most readers this long first
novel, which contains nearly all the
four-letter words and the four let
ter practices, too, will prove to be
altogether too profane, vulgar and
indecent.
The characters are boys in a
southern military academy: Maui
rice "Sowbe1ly" Simmons, his
roommate R b ert Marquales,
Jocko de Paris, Pete Layne, Win
termine, Hulitt, Leroy, Cotton,
Policy, Mckee, Gait, Wilson, Cor
;ger, Academy officers, townsmen,
relatives and sundry highly unre-
spectacle girls.
The writing in the first pages
is stepped up to the level of saw
age caricature, and for the rest OF
the book it is savage, crude, fierce
realism. 1t is the story of boys on
their own, going about the momen-
tous job of growing into men. De-
prived of ali softening, civilizing in
fluences, they live a life of strict
hours, unpalatable army meals,
drills, vicious hazing, dull classes,
sterile comradeships. A scrimy lit
tie town with bars and brothers is
their only escape, and they make
the most of it.
If you are unable to stomach a
lot of this, you will still be
obliged to acknowledge that some
passages, especially the extraor-
binary scene at McKee's home
and in his bedroom, are no less
than brilliant. This young south
erner has all the makings of a
grand writer.
