WORTH WATCHING

In the forty-folr States whose legislatures meet this year-only Kentucky, Mississippi Louisiana and Virginia have no sessions in l947-recommendations for improving state government will be presented by the Council of State Governments. That body's com mittee on legislative processes and procedures has made study on the basis of which it suggests dozen reforms
 Suggestions include removing the limitations on the length of legislative session to insure adequate time to deal with all problems removing limitations on legislators salaries that competent persons may be attracted seek office bringing key Legislative personnel under the merit system; reducing and con- solidang legislative committees requiring public hear ngs cn all major bills with proper advance notice of such hearings engthening and staggering legislative terms to increase continuity of membership; creating councils or committees properly staffed, to function when the legislature not in session. improving re- search facilities aid in drafting legisation limiting periods during a session in which new bills may be introduced revising legislative rules to expedite leg isation increasing the legislatures fiscal responsibility and providing for sound budget making adopting home-rue legislation which will minimize the need of legisating for individual cities.
 Not all these changes equally needed in all States but there are few in which number of them could not be made advantageously State governments and buggy era although they are called upon to function in mechanical age Many could well stand the streamlining which the Council of State Govern ments suggests.
 And Alaska, with eye upon Statehood, could

proportions at meeting in Pitts hurgh, February l3 to 20. to be sponsored in the Federal Council Of the Churches of Christ. Church men and lay leaders, representing industry and labor, will be brought together to draft code of moral ethics" for management-labor deal ngs.
 Officials of the National Catholic Welfare conference, who took a leading part in the Baltimore meet ing, also will be invited to the Pittsburgh Protestant conference
 While the churcnmen deny that they are endeavoring to make reli- zion a bargaining factor" in the settlement of labor disputes, they feel that the church should play a definite part in improving work and pay standards. They also be- l:eve it is the duty of the church to inject a greater sense of moral responsibility and understanding in bargaining between employers and employees.

Studies of the Public Debt
tNew York Sum

tNew York Sum
 The public debt is stupendous. Not all Americans may appreciate fully that it is not something with which to conjure If, one hand, the enormty of the debt (to say nothing of huge yearly carrying charges to be met by the taxpayers does not over stimulate business into inflationary cycle of boom bust it, the other hand, 1t is not going to prove that the burden will depress living standards, eventually pauperzng the country with resultan demand for repudiation, in full or in part then it is clear that wise fiscal policies for several generations must immediately be adopted in Wash ington.
 To give the public an idea of what the big debt really means-and with the ultimate view of sug- gestng a management polcy-an exhaustive study of the matter is under by the Committee on National Debt Policy This organization includes some of the countrys best known men of large experience in the fields of business finance and economic study working under grant from the Fak Foundation. The com mittee has just published it's first treatise the debt to be followed by perhaps seven later ones
 The first study, prepared by the late Brgader- General Leonard P. Ayres, and revised by the com mittee sets out significant facts with respect to the imitation and deflaon that followed other great Governmental control has not ayerted price rise this time; and the commodity price level now, more than year after fighting has ceased is approaching the peaks of other great The public debt today stands roughly S7009 for each family, compared with $1 147 in 1920 At the end of the first World War amounted to about fl cent of the national income it reaches approximately 180 per cent of the yearly rate of national income.
 When considered in the light of interest charges the picture is somewhat less alarming. Money market management has depressed interest rates to point at which, with the rise in national income the yearly carrying charge the debt is only 37 per cent larger in terms of national income, than it after the Civil War. The debt is about ten times greater than that of World War I, but the carrying charge as percentage of national income is only about twice great.
 The study concludes Our past record with respect to cur national debt is good enough to encourage and poor enough to put us on guard We should combat the fallacy that big debt is asset. and also should remember that it is costing us far more than yearly interest payments. We paying for low interest by taking reduced interest ouI savings, by paying higher premiums insurance and by running great risks credit imitation.
 The present danger is not one of fiscal collapse because of inadequate resources but one of weak financial policy, just as in the past.

ROOSEVELT OPPOSES LEGION

O'Brien called back next day to explain that the order had been issued by Federal Housing Admin istrator Raymond Foley. Creedon had nothing to do with it, O'Brien said.
 T don't care who $ responsible; want it changed demanded Roosevelt. All five of the major veterans groups should be asked to participate in the rent meetings. Furthermore. labor, consumer and civic groups should be represented in addition to business leaders" 7"
 "I'll do my best promised O'Brien
 T won't be satisfied with any thing less than complete change of the order" said Roosevelt. "Oth- erwise, l intend to blast this thing wide open in the newspapers. ."
 A short time later, Roosevelt s New York telephone began bug zing again. This time Sam Riddick, Creedon's expert on veterans af- fairs, was on the line.
 What's the trcubie, Frank" he inquired. You've tossed a bomb sheiI into the agency down here. "
 I'm going to begin tossing some real bombshells unless that order is withdrawn and amended re- piled Roosevelt. What are you trying to do-turn the housing pro- gram over to the Chamber of Com merce and Paul Griffith of the American Legion?"
 Riddick assured Roosevelt that the A. V. c. and all other vet groups would be equally represent ed at the rental meetings. He also promised to see that local housing expediters set up advisory commit tees of the five veterans groups to meet with business, labor and civic leaders in different communities.
 Veterans who have the con- sunner, not the producer, viewpoint should be named to the commit tee" said Roosevelt. T mean wal veterans who have had housinr problems of their own.

FDR JR. BLASTS HOUSING

The office of new housing ex- pediter Jack Crcedon is stiil reyer- kerating from Il tongue-lashlng administered by Franklin D. Roose- vet, Jr., over veterans housing.
 F D. R, Jr., won out, but not before some -parlorlike language singed the lcng-distance wires be- tween Washington and New Yoik.
 The son of the late President had learned of an order Oil vet erans rental housing. sent conti- dentially to regional housing off cials, by which the American Le- zion would have dominated nation wide meetings on veterans rental problems. The order instructed field officials to contact Legion ano Chamber of Commerce represen- tatives to assist in sponsoring the meetings
 It so happens that both the Le- zion and the Chamber of Com merce vigorously opposed the Wy att housing program. yet no othel organizations were mentioned by name in the official order
 When F D. R, Jr., national housing chairman of the American Veterans Committee, was shown a copy of the confidential order, he grabbed a telephone and put in a call to new housing eXpediter Cree dcn Creedon had left for the day so the call was taken by special assistant. William E. O'Brien.
 I'm new on the job here, O'Brien pleaded when young Roose- welt began to protest about the order "Ill check and call you back tomorrow morning"
