| and Senate ought to take long
! and prayerful look at history be-
fore they promise too much, or be-
fore they get too sure that they
know everything, can foresee
everything and fix everything.
Perhaps the greatest mobiliza-
tion of sheer genius ever witnessed
in any nation was witnessed in this
nation as we plowed through the
war. That mobilization of genius
produced something that looked
very much like a collection of
miracles. The achievements were
| fantastic.
But that mobilization of genius
has ceased to exist. There is now
no ideal and no desperate purpose
that calls upon it to mobilize
again. That is, none that they dis
cern.
I We shah have to get along
through these coming months with
just average intelligence, modified
by lot Of self-seeking.
If we reach wise national deci-
sions, there will be a good deal of
luck about it.
Several sources are sure to put
forward those proposals which
they believe will make the biggest
hit with the people.
There will not be many who will
risk proposals which they have
thought out and which they offer,
in seriousness, regardless of poll
fiscal risk. 1t would take a John
Peter Altgeld to do that-and we
aren't overly supplied with men Of
the Altgeld type just now.
sOut of political pickering on
selfish level, we can have war,
orlswe can have internal turmoil,
barring astonishing luck.
Let US hope we have neither of
these horrendous things. Let us
hope political expediency doesn't
get too much Of strangle hold on
those who have power. Let some
one say, "this l believe to be right
and for this will | stand, come
what may"
Such man, or such men, could
be vastly surprised at the public
acclaim that might come to them
in these months ahead.

ELECTRIC SHAVERS

One mans electric shaver may
be another mans poison, Consum-
ers found in tests of seven brands.
The make that one man finds irri-
tating may give another man a
very satisfactory shave. Some US
ers claim that an electric shaver
is less irritating than razor blades
while others just can't use one at
all, even after trying each and all
brands. The one point on which
there is general agreement is that
for most people not even the best
electric shaver gives as close a
shave as an ordinary safety razor
with a good blade. Gu recommends
that an electric shaver be bought
in a store that carries several
brands, with the understanding
that it can be exchanged or the
purchase price will be refunded
within a reasonable trial period.
In rating electric shavers, Gu
recommends only the order in
which the shavers should be tried
by prospective purchasers. The
first two to try are New Reming-
ton Foursome 7S with Blue Streak
Head, $3.50, which seemed all
around the best, and Sunbeam
Shavemaster RG, $l6.70, which
gave the closest shave.

1916 Price Trends Slugged
Consumer. Helped Profiteer

which had been held out for weeks
appeared in the stores at initiation
prices and helped raise the price
level.
In July, while Congress still de-
bated OPA's future, BIS said:
Wholesale prices increased l0.1
per cent in July, 1946-the largest
monthly advance since BIS began
compilation of its comprehensive
index in 1890"
The restoration of controls on
July 25 did not stop the retail
climb either in foods or other COM
modities. The Wholesale drop
brought about by OPA's taking
control again was made up within
six weeks, and prices scared up
beyond the June-July figures.
The final stage in the 1916 story
was reached as President Truman
succumbed to COP and profiteer
pressure and killed virtually all
price control by sweeping orders
in October and November. Follow
ing their issuance, BIS said:
Average prices at all levels Of
distribution rose to new peaks"
A slight decline in the rate of
climb of prices during the last
month of 1916, featured by drop
in wholesale farm products prices,
indicates that consumers are not
buying sky-priced goods as form
erly, and that dealers are begin
ming to learn that fact.

Subversive Press
Hit BY Committee

Washington (FP) - Recommen-
dation that Congress deny the use
of second class mail privileges to
anyone engaged in publishing, dis
tributing or promoting "subversive
or unAmerican propaganda" was
unanimously adopted by the House
unAmerican activities committee
Jan. 2.
Although the committee has
never outlined what it considers
either subversive or unAmerican
its general conception Of those
terms has been broad enough to
cover anyone disagreeing with the
most reactionary policies of u. S.
tories.
To insure pure Americanism, the
committee also asked that only
u. S. citizens be permitted to hold
office in any local or international
union coming under federal laws,
and that federal government jobs
go only to American citizens.
Atop this, the committee headed
by Representative John S. Wood
in the 10th Congress, urged that
second class mailing privileges be
denied all foreign language news
papers that fail to print full
English translation of each article
in an adjoining column.
The committee also asked Con-
gress for legislation to bar "con-
cealed or secret memberships" in
organizations which have permit
ted members to use an alias, and
to deny such organizations the use
of the mails.
In the field of international rela
tions, the groups asked that second
class mailing privileges be given
only those embassies and agencies
of foreign governments that ex-
tend reciprocal privileges to the
u. S.

Gives Christmas
Gifts To Police

Philadelphia (FP)-While local
storekeepers and other supporters
gave generous Xmas gifts to $50
striking members of the American
Newspaper Guild here, j. David
Stern, publisher of three struck
papers, also celebrated by passing
out So and SO bills to two-thirds
of the Camden police force who
have been protecting" his prop
erty from pickets.
The struck papers are the Phil
adelphia Record and Camden Cour-
ier and Post, Although publishers
in other cities have granted wage
increases far higher than the II
per cent offered by Stern, he is
still sticking to his pre-strike pro-
posal.
Although the strike has been on
for eight weeks, the papers are
continuing to publish with score
or more OF strikebreakers and eX-
ecutives. AFL unions i'm the print
ing trades are not observing guild
picketlines. Non-giuld sources esti-
mate that circulation Of the Record
has dropped by 35 to 45 per cent.

THE CHERRY TREE

AS the Republican Congress
comes into being we wait and Won
der what will come of it.
We can be sure of one thing
Most proposals from either Con-
gress or the White House will be
offered with an eye to the next
national election, even though that
event is almost two years hence.
This observer has wat h
Washington through the regimes
of Woodrow Wilson, Warren G.
Harding, Calvin Coolidge, Herbert
Hoover, Franklin ID. Roosevelt and
now Harry Truman. That encom-
passes two world wars.
Harding came along to suggest a
return to normalcy and so shall
low was lot of thinking of the
time that newspapers spent almost
as much space in discussing
whether it ought to be "normality"
or "normalcy" as they did in dis
cussing the basic issues, chief of
which was edo we get in or do we
get OUT.
Coolidge watched the stock mar
ket go zooming, gained reputa-
tion for silence and passed the
wreckage along to hapless Hoover.
What days chose We're!
Coolidge once said that his chief
complaint about unions was that
they didn't punish their own
wrong -doers. Hoover gave his ap-
proval to an amazing labor pro-
gram before his inauguration and
then junked it as if it had never
had his consideration.
Plunked into the midst of ter
rible depression Hoover had his
Hoovervilles all over the country,
including Washington's environs.
And he wished onto Gen. Mac
Arthur the dirty job of driving the
bonus marchers out of the city.
Yes, there were bonus marchers
veterans of the first World War.
And there were veterans and other
poor men trying to sell apples on
the streets, without much luck.
Came the bank crash and the
bank holiday and NRA and PWA
and WPA and all the mean jokes.
And there was NYA and so many
others. But men were taking hope
and getting able to stand on their
own feet again after being almost
out for the count.
World War ii came, catching us
but ending in victory,
and for sure.
The question today is this:
Where do we go from here-and
HOW!
So, the men who are stepping
into their new seats in the House

Truman Ends
Period OF
Hostilities
Action Kills 18
Wartime Statutes

Washington (FP) = A presiden-
tial proclamation Dec. 80 wiped
out the federal governments
power to seize strike bound plants
or industries under the Smith-C Con
nally act.
The Truman action became ef-
fective Dec. IL and killed 18 war
time statutes Immediately and 33
others will go out within six
months. The statement and procla-
nation marked the end of hostili-
ties of World War ii, but has no
effect on the state of war itself
or on the states of emergency by
President Roosevelt in 1889 and
1941.
Although the Smith Connally
act itself will die July / under the
order, it is regarded as likely that
Congress may revive some of it's
provisions in an amnibus bill soon
after Jan. 3.
The U. S. has been operating
under more than 500 emergency
laws, some to end with the lend
of the war;" and others at spell
fled time thereafter. Still others
are effective for the duration of
the Emergency"
By using the term lend of hos
tilities," Truman avoided killing
off most of these emergency
measures. notably the selective
service act. 2
The laws due to expire July l
include many special excise taxes,
including those on liquor, furs,
theater admissions, baret S,
transportation, telephone, and tele-
graph and cable dispatches. 1.

Hyde to DR.. Jekyll. If you take
the word of Consumers Union den

do is make brushing the teeth a
pleasanter chore than it would
otherwise be and give the tooth
brush some slight aid in polishing
the tooth surfaces.
Among the Best Buys in tooth

Consumer Prices
At AH-Time High

Washington (FP) - Recognized
as a conservative estimate Of the
steep climb in living costs since
the start Of World War III, the
bureau of labor statistics testified
categorically:
"Retail prices of consumer goods
in large cities rose % per cent be-
tween mid-October and mid-No-
vember bringing the consumers
price index for the u. S. to the
highest level on record"
The index on Nov. l5 stood at
1917, compared to the 1859
base of 100. The record mark sur
passed the post World War | high
point June l920) by l.5 per cent.
Food prices alone scored a 4.3 per
cent retail climb during the month,
based on samples of 81 foods taken
in So cities across the nation.

REJECTS PAID PRESIDENCY

New York (FP)-The American
Newspaper Guild by referendum
vote Of 1884 to 1861 rejected a
proposal to create a full-time paid
presidency.
The union at present has a non
salaried part-time presidency, a
paid executive vice-presidency and
paid secretary-treasurer The
guilds 1916 convention voted TO
submit the issue to referendum.

BALL-POINT PENS

You can now get a reasonably
good ball-point pen-if you are
willing to pay the price. Competi-
tion has reduced prices generally
but the best three ball-point pens
rated highest by Consumers Union
are still in the $12.50 to SIS
bracket.
