LITTLE LUTHER

tsHOw much do you save out Of your allowance, Luther,' asked MT. Dilworth.
 ssSave?'' Lut h demanded. tsOut of that miserable six bits you give me? Do you know that ice cream cones are 7c now, and they've built false bottoms into the cream scoops? Do you know mar bles cost a straight penny apiece and the clay ones aren't available? Save! Phooey!''
 ssYOu'd better start, son. Hard times are coming. The demand for Dilworth's Dimity Diapers may hit bottom in the next six months.'
 ssHigh time,'' said Little Luther. 'sWhat are they doing now-wear- ing em' for bonnets?"
 ssYou won't be fippant a year from now, my boy. Do you know unemployment is staring you in the face?'
 ssDarned rude of it," Little Luther commented. ssWho's going to carry out your garbage and ashes when you unemploy me!'
 ssThe Joneses down the street aren't SO well off. I suspect by that time little Johnny Jones may be happy to do our errands for Soc a week, maybe even 35c."
 ssAnd I suppose when Pm out of a job, I'll go and do their errands for tw6 bits, eh?'' asked Little Luther.
 Exactly" Mir. Dilworth exclaim- ed.
 ssAnd all us kids will end up doing tine same work for less pay?" 'sWeII, that's true too but it's un- important. Think how it will stabil- ize things?''
 ssAnd what do you think our Er- rand Boys Union will be doing all the time you're stabilizing us?"
 ssUniOn? Union? Don't you know," demanded Mir. Dilworth, 'sthat we're going to abolish un- ions? You boys didn't get out the votes Nov. 5 and now you're going to start paying for it.s
 "We didn't get out the votes?" Little Luther asked. "Where do you think the Democrats got their votes last election day. From the Republicans?'

gives some indication of what
Democratic members of the Com
mittee may think is the right kind
of tax reduction"
In his second veto of the Republi-
backed $4,000 900, 900 tax cutting
bill, President Truman said he would
favor the right kind of tax reduction
at the proper time.

rates on a large number of goods
and services:
2. Repeal the tax on trsnsporta-
ton of property:

; Jewish Immigrant Ships
Overdue at French Port

PARIS. July 26 Np.-Three British
transports bearing 4.500 thwarted
Jewish immigrants back from Pal
estine were two days overdue at e
French seaport" on the Mediter-
ranean Coast today and the mystery
deepened as to their whereabouts.
The Paris newspaper l'1htransi-
geant said the Jews, passengers ON
the intercepted President Warfeld
rena med Exodus of 1947, were be-
ing taken to ST. Louis, a small port
near MarSeille.
The Paris Presse had a contra
dictory report that the refugees
were being taken TO Sete, 100 miles
west of st. Louis, whence the immi-
grants sailed secretly just two weeks
ago only to encounter a British
boarding party in sea fight.
Reports from Villefrance-sur-M -Mer
where the ship earlier was believed
headed, said the suspicion was grow
ing that the British Navy was tax
ing the Jews to Genoa for return to
Germany. But the British Colonial
Office in London said this was not
true.
France has agreed to accept the
immigrants temporarily and give
them humane treatment" but
Premier Ramadier has declared the
French would not make them get
off the transports.
Jewish Agency representatives
said the Jews might stage sitdown
strike on the ships and demand to
be taken back to Palestine.
Only native born residents may
operate retail stores in Haiti.

Truman Urges Ex-GIs
Not 10 Cash Bonds,
But Signs Measure
By GEORGE Beveridqe


President Truman yesterday sign
ed a bill allowing 100000 former
enlisted men to cash their terminal
leave pay bonds after September l,
In statement, however, he
advised them not to do it.
Il wish to emphasize strongly
that it is to the veterans best in
terest that they keep their bonds if
they do not absolutely need to cash
them now he declared.
Mr.. Truman said that nearly
$4,000, 100000 worth of bonds have
been issued, and pointed to the in
fationary effect much money would
have on the national economy if it
all is thrown into the public spend
ing stream at one time.
Urges "Wise Course"
"If, on the other hand" he said,
veterans choose the wise course,
hold their bonds and continue to
draw 212 per cent interest, their
dollars will buy more when they
cash their bonds after inflationary
conditions have eased."
At the same time, the Treasury
Department put into operation
plans to have the nations banks
cash the bonds on the same basis
they are handling payments for
Government savings bonds.
Treasury officials estimate that
veterans will turn in $1.000,000,00Q
to $1,5C0 100000 worth of bonds in
the first rush to the banks this year.
Draw ~ Per Cent Interest.
Besides principal on the bonds, the
former enlisted men will draw in
terest at the 2i2 per cent rate for
as long as they have held the bonds.
The full interest will be due Ave
years after the issue date.
Under the new law. which passed
both the House and Senate last
week by unanimous votes. veterans
who have not yet applied for the
grant may do so until September /,
1948.
Treasury spokesmen said that
within the next few weeks. banks
will be furnished special tables to
show at a glance the amount of in
terest due on the bonds,
To Ask Positive Identification.
Banks also will be cautioned to
require positive Identification of
those cashing the bonds to prevent
giving money to sharks who, the
department. said, have purchased
large quantities of bonds at dis
count from veterans needing imme-
diate cash.
Although the bonds are not trans
ferable. an official said, some vet
erans have sold the bonds for as
little as so cents on the dollar value,
Besides the money already issued
in bonds since the program went
into effect last October, the Gov
ernment has paid more than $14O,-
715,000 in cashable checks The
checks were to pay odd amounts due
above the $25 denominations of the
bonds.

Nearly all Federal agencies are
planning to downgrade some jobs.
This. of course, means salary cuts
for the employees involved. The rea-
son for the downgrading is the bud
get slashes suffered by the bureaus
this year With less money to spend,
the agencies want to make the funds
they do have go further by expend-
ing less for salaries.
Higher Brackets Spared.
But what has created a storm of
resentment among rank-and- file
workers is that it is always the
lower-paid employees who get hit. 1t
is very seldom that Government Of
ficials downgrade themselves or their
colleagues. The $1,000 to $4,000 a
year boys don't have to take any
salary cuts. It's the $4,000 and So
000-a-year clerks who have always
had to take further slashes In their
already meagre salaries.
Chairman John Taber of the
House Appropriations Committee is
aware of what is going on, and if
the present practice continues. the
committee will order the salary
structure of the offending agencies
revised. The Civil Service Commits
sion will step into the picture when
ever an employe feels that he is be-
ing downgraded unfairly.
Any Federal workers who feel
they are being dealt with unfairly
should get in touch with the Civil
Service Commission.

The race ended in dead-heat,

boy. On two occasions his bicycle
skidded and nearly crashed into

from the tracks.
SOFT-HEARTED JOHN-Chair-
man John Taber and his House APP
preparations Committee have be-
come ogres of a sort to Government
officials who have had their 1948
budget requests numerically slashed
by the group, in addition to under
going rigid cross ss-eXamination by
the committee on every penny they
spend.
But there is at least one Govern
ment official who has nothing but
kind words for Mr. Taber and his
committee. This official was serious
ly injured in an automobile crash
as he was returning to his office
after testifying on his departments
budget request befort the committee.
/ During his convalescense in the
hospital, the committee sent him
flowers and it's wishes FORK speedy
recovery.
The Official was discussing this
with a friend the other day. The
committee members were certainly
kind and considerate to me-" he
said. Then, as an afterthought, he
sighed:
IF only they had been as kind
and considerate to our budget re-
