Longer Credit Period

Comes the report that Federal Re-
serve System officials are considering
extending the present fifteen-month
credit limit to two years. One of the
credited to the group is that
automobile dealers complain the higher
monthly installments required under
the fifteen-month arrangement are
soaring at least 70 per cent of potential
buyers out of the market.
The longer credit period works two
ways. For the thrifty wage Garner who
budgets his expenditures and stays
carefully within his earnings and ability
to meet payments regularly the two
year credit term would be a boon. On
the other hand another group of earners
who spend not only as quickly as they
cash their pay checks but long in ad-
vance credit of any kind or period is
%ruinous.
AS there is nothing new in this and
both classes of buyers have always been
with us, there would seem to be no sound
reason for the Reserve officers not tc
extend the credit period. 1t would then
devolve upon the dealer, whether ir
automobiles or other things. to sell only
to patrons who have proved their right
to credit.

erstitious old custom might be main
tanned.
Sir Anthony's veneratlon OF an an
cient pledge is typical of the British
national spirit. The Briton's devotion
to old practices and customs sometimes
seems ridiculous to practical minded
Americans. But it is also an essential
nart of that pride and sense of destiny
conspicuous in the admirable, durable
British character.
Today the United States stands in
about the same relation to Great Britain
as the Food Ministry did to Sir An
thony. Without u assistance Britain
stands to lose much of her strength,
her pride, and her national entity.
The American people are not in
terested in preserving the British En-
pire intact, even if that were possible.
But are they interested in seeing this
brave and ancient nation, cradle OF so
MANY civil liberties and mother Of so
many immortals, retain at least a place
in the sun?
This question, as well as the momen-
tary actions of her present leaders,
will surely be weighed by u govern
ment in deciding how much Of Britains
traditional burden we will assume In
future world affairs.

The Presidents Message

In urging Congress to make avail
able $500, 0O0, 900 for aid to Greece and
Turkey, President Truman, among other
pointed remarks, said: "The seeds OF
|totalitarianism are nurtured by misery
and want. They spread and grow in the
evil soil of poverty and strife. They
reach the full growth when the hope
of a people for a better life has died.
He also said that totalitarian regimes
imposed on free peoples by direct or
indirect aggression Undermine the
foundation of international peace and
hence the security of the United
States"
"We cannot allow changes in the
status quo" he said, "in violation of the
Charter of the United Nations by such
methods as coercion, or be such subter-
Ifuges as political i%nfiltration.' Against
this, President Truman declared the
United States has made frequent pro-
test against coercion and intimidation
in violation of the Yalta agreement, in
Poland, Romania and Bulgaria."
It will be noted that the Chief Ex-
ecutive makes no direct reference to
the Soviet Union. But only a dullard
would fail to understand that his ref
erences were to the policies employed
by Russia with the object of promot-
ing her empiric ambitions. He admitted
however that he was fully aware of the
anti-Russlan implications which would
follow American aid to Greece and
Turkey, but added that he considered
it more important to permit free peo-
pies to work out their w destinies
in their own way"
The money he proposes to have ap-
propriated would be used for commodi-
ties, supplies and equipment. In Greece
the need would be for sufficient
strength to overcome the communist
led forces which are fighting to depose
the established government. Unless this
movement is halted the unrest now
sweeping over Greece is liable to spread
throughout the Middle East, and give
Russia the opportunity to bring greater
and greater areas under the domino
ton of Moscow.
1t is notable that he places the need
for this assistance on the United States
itself, not on Great Britain. which has
All even greater stake in European and
Middle East peace. The fact is thus
made every plain that in the Presidents
view the United States cannot separate
itself from any part of the world which
is in danger of further inroads from
the Russian regime.

Americas Card Authority
Written for NEA Service

While in Chicago recently l
watched William McGhee play gin
rummy, and it confirmed my be-
lief in his ca~rdyolaying ability,
He played the game as well as |
have ever seen it played. McGhee
is a rather bold bidder in bridge
and depends upon his card playing
to deliver the contract. Later |
had an opportunity to watch him
play today's hand.
1t is true that the opponents
could have defeated the contract
but even the expert might slip on
the defense. West opened the king
OF clubs, which was won in dunn
my with the ace. The three OF
spades was led and East failed to
go up with the king. so West was
forced to win the trick with the
queen. Another club was led,
which McGhee trumped with the
five OF hearts. The six Of spades
was led. East won with the king
and shifted to a diamond. McGhee
put ON the queen and West won
with the ace.
West did his best by leading a
spade, which East trumped. but
McGhee overtrumped with the ace
Of hearts, then entered dummy by
playing the queen of trumps and
overtaking with the king.
Another spade ruff established
dummy's fifth spade. Now dummy
wal entered by playing the deuce
of hearts and the losing diamond
was discarded.
McGhee did not depend upon
finding the diamond ace in the
East hand because the bidding in
dlcated that it was held by West.
II ne had led the jack of spades
from dummy, in all probability
East would have covered with the
KING. Now when the diamond ten
came out. West would win with
the ace and could immediately re-
turn a diamond, knockine out NC
Gees other diamond honor and
defeating the contract.

without straining too hard after SYM

Immediate anecdote.
1t seems that Sir Anthony, a loyal
subject of His Britannia Majesty and
q product of this enlightened, atomic
zoth century, appeared recently before
the British Food Ministry with an odd
request. He needed a large ALLEGATION
OF flour in order to avert an 80O-year-
old curse.
The curse was pronounced by one of
mis- ancestors, a certain Lady Tichborne.

directed her miserly husband, her chill
dren, and their heirs forever to give
each year on Annunciation Day March

IN their village of Alresford, Hampshire,
and a half gallon to every child.
II they failed to do this, said Lady
~1lchborne, a lot of dire things would
happen. Their house would fall down.
. There would be a generation of seven
, sons and after that a generation of
. seven daughters. Then the name Of
: Tichborne would die.

. mis- came to pass. In 1876 the Itch
borne family was in France and the
grit was not made. The house was
pulled down in their absence. The gen.

name disappeared, to be restored afte,

The Book OF
Cd The Five Major Groups

AS you know, all living things
may be divided into two great
groups-animals and plants. Each
Of these groups is further divided
into smaller groups.
II We were to look over all the
animals Oh earth, we should find
that some of them. including hu-
man beings, have a backbone. We
call these vertebrates (backboned
animals). Animals that have no
backbones at all we call inverte-
brates (not : backboned ANNALS.
There are some animals, such
as the lancet or amphioxus, and
the t%unicates, that stand between
these two great groups. These are
called the lower chordates and
have only a gristle-like rod in
stead of a backbone.
There are five major classes of
animals that have backbones. We
would need only a very small me-
nagerie to show us one animal of
each of these five kinds. One is
a goldfish swimming about in a
bowl of water. Next, is the COM
spotted frog. Then, in a box,
is a garter snake (but you may
have a turtle in your box if you
would rather. Fourth, is a ca

Get Capital To Work

Capital is proverbially timid. Be-
cause of the strained relations of lead
ing powers following the war and the
tremendous debt the United States has
%shouldered, coupled with the high tax
rates, capital is even more timid than
usual. The result is that investment in
Industrial expansion, in community bet
torment, and the development of re-
sources is tagging.
So long as Congress threshes about
in the budget jungle there is no hope
of changing this situation. The talk
Of cutting the Presidents budget esti-
mate, even of sacrificing the military
establishment at this crucial period, does
not encourage capital to come out of it's
hole and go to work.
The pressing need is for Congress
to determine where cuts in federal ex-
penditures can be made without weak
ening efficiency and proceed without
further delay to make them.
Obviously the military cannot be re-
duced. But there are channels of waste
in government that ought to be closed.
When and if congressional leaders get
together on common ground and work
out a program free from all elements
OF political patronage which does away
with federal extravaganza it ought in
all reason to be possible to effect SUBJ
stantial savings and so reduce income
taxes, which are having as much to
DO with keeping capital in hiding as
anything else.

A MADONNA OF THE DESERT
BY WILLIAM T. ELLIS

On the Arabian desert, not far
from the Irak frontier post of
Ramadi. 1 once encountered a
stranded truckload of Jews from
Iran. en- route to Palestine the
latest consignment of the return
from exile that began with Nehe-
miah. There were twenty-one per-
sons crowded into the truck, and
they were stranded with a broken
axle in the uninhabited wastes.
When I went over to share our
food supply, a young mother with
a Madonna face pleaded, in Ian
guage the words o. which l could
not understand, that l take her
and the babe with us. 1 could not
explain that l would hasten with
their leader in our o~vercrowded
car, to Ramadi, and send them
quick succor, which l did. BY mid
night, all of them were safe in
a Ramadi khan.
