THE LOW DOWN
HICKORY GROVE

Today I will pass tip along to

my good turn for the day. College
presidents have been plenty busy
recent-like with their campuses
over-fowing. They have not had
time to notice, 1 reckon, the MUIR
muring here and there that the
country is over-stocked with syn
thetic economists, social uplifters,
psychologists.
Not week passes but what some
guy or dame blows into our little
burg here with a new cure for
something or other that they can
think up that needs curing. And I
might add here, a tip to the pro-
gram chairman of the bOok-review
lunch clubs, etc. Get local speaker
who knows what he is talking
about versus scratching around for
some imported psychologist or eco
nomist who has just received his
diploma and has not yet operated
owned or been in any kind of the
business or activities he is ex-
pounding about.
What this country needs over al
the schoolhouse is more of the doc
trine that teaches how to become q
non-leaning, self-dependent citizen

come more and more plentiful anC

Control of Eel
Slippery Trick,
Experts Report

GUERNEVILLE, Calf. - (HO -
There is a perfectly good river,
named the Eel river, north of here.
But the Lamprey eel persists in
swimming up the Russian river to
spawn. Then it floats downstream
in dead or dying condition, and for
two weeks each summer small boys
here-abouts are hired to fish these
expiring eels out of the Russian
river before they float down to
where cash customers of the local
resort area are frolicking in the
water.
Resort owners and chambers of
commerce have pointed out to State
Fish and Game people that it is bad
business to emerge from a plunge
with dying eels draped around
their necks, and cannot something
be done about Lampreys? At least
during the two-weeks spawning
season?
Captain Lee Shea of the game
ratrol suggests with a wink thai
Congress or somebody might try re-
pealing the natural laws that gov
ern the migratory and reproductive
rabits of Lamprey eels. but ht
doubts if the eels would pay any at

TAKE DROPS
SHARPLY ON MAINE COAST
AP NewsfeA,ulss

ROCKLAND, Me.-Lobsters, for
which Maine is famous, have been
taken in greatly decreased num-
bers this year, posing a problem
for the state Sea and Shore Fish
cries department and resulting in
leaner pocketbooks for fishermen.
Preliminary estimates of Lewis
Gates, statistician for the depart
ment, showed a total first five
months catch in 1947 as 2,877, 1865
pounds while the 1916 catch was
4I261,725. Dollar volume is off,
with the total of $1,327,914 this
year comparing with $1,987 900
last year.
| Gates says the department can
offer no definite reason for the
decrease but that it was investi-
eating various theories. Many fish
ermen, discouraged by the return,
have removed their gear from the
waters although at mid-year the
catch was picking up in some
areas.
The total 1946 catch exceeded
18,000,000 pounds and the previous
year saw 100000 pounds taken.
Maine does much to aid its lob
ster industry, maintaining a rear
ing station at Boothbay HarboT
where egg-bearing female Holsters
are kept and the baby Holsters
protected through several growth
stages before they are planted in
the sea.

AIIH''|||AsNEEkLI = =
By GEORGE A. BENSON

WASHINGTON, d. C.-Mr. Tru-
mans midsummer budget state-
ment is a curious document.
He proudly boasts of a revenue
surplus of $4,667 100000 on June
80, 194S, barring, of course, all
contingencies, which, he agrees,
are likely to obtain.
He admits that $2,100,000,000 of
this surplus will come from reve-
nues neither he nor his experts
could foresee when he submitted
his fiscal year budget in January.
He gives the Republican Con-
gress credit for savings of $780,
100000 in his budget demands, but
insists that at least $1,000,000,0 900
of this will be wiped out by sup
Elementary appropriations which
The will demand soon after Congress
reconvenes.
This, of course, is far below
what responsible Republican lead
ers show. They claim, in cuts made
! in the Presidents budget demands,
revisions, and recovery of funds
for the Treasury, total savings of
$4,12O,800,00O. This does not in
clude 1853, ,740,56S savings made in
1947 fiscal year operations.
Let's take a look at Mr.. Tru-
mans statement. In the first place,
he insists that total expenditures,
by June 80. 194S, will be $4,000
1000, just half a billion under
the budget he submitted in jan
uary. This half billion is the total
economy he credits to the Repub-
licans.
In other words, he insists that
his January budget was the last
word in 1948 fiscal year budget
making. He attempts to make the
public believe that that budget
represents the maximum amount
he demanded of Congress. This is
not true.
Shortly after his budget went to
b Congress, the President began
. making additional requests, not
one of which was anticipated in the
original budget. These requests
totaled $2,023,2 ,252,216. In other
, words, Mr.. Truman's budget was
! substantially in excess of $780,
, O00,000.000.
But this is not all. Mr.. Truman
9 made other requests for legisla-
tive programs, each one of which
: would have added enormously to
! expenditures. These items, none
! of them adopted, would have added
! more than $4,000, 900 to govern
; ment cost. e.
The point is this: Mr. Truman
simply could not stick to his jan
uary budget. He later demanded
e over So billion more, and he sub
t mitted other programs which
: would have cost prodigious addi-
: tional sums. And now, he insists
e he must be given supplementary
e appropriations nearly next year.
: In other words, there is no other
view for the public to take: Mr.
Truman's administration is geared
to high spending. Economy is for
: eign to it's thinking.

NEW LABOR LAW
MUST BE OBEYED

Labor Bosses still order the hon
est American workers to strike ana
tie up industrial and business in
stitutions, in defiance of the new
Labor Law.
How can any sensible person be-
come a party to efforts to break
down this LABOR LAW? II was
passed twice by Congress, by more
than two-thirds majorities in the
Senate and House-Over President
Truman's vetoes. IF that law is n.
G. every law on the books is ques-
tionable. Besides, If the law is to be
challenged for it's constitutiorality
or any other reason, the higher
courts-and the Supreme Court
will have to decide the issue.
THE FARMERS TALK 1T OVER
Two thousand delegates of farm
er cooperative organizations meet
ing at Fort Collins, Colorado, a
few days ago, were told by d rep
resentative of President Truman to
put your house in order" The
speaker, DR.. E. c. NourSe, declared
that agriculture is not today in The
depressed condition as it was in
the early 193O's. On the contrary
he observed, the farmers of the
country are not to blame for the
recent boom-but, he added, tLey
must meet the challenge and raise
enough crops so that there will moi
be really serious food scarcity il
the future.
The Colorado gather ing discussed
corn, wool, milk and sound" a:
well as "unsound" problems tina
were presented TO them by wis
bankers, and other persons who haC
notions about "th9 tax question,
etc.

GOALS TO NEWCASTLE
Since by far the greater majority

it probably isn't very wise to stir

news to us because for long time
we've used the word mayonnaise
and salad dressing INTERCHANGEABLE
Now it seems we were incorrect
and there's a big difference. Mayon

naise tells us that the mayonnais,
contains high proportion of OF

may contain much less-sometime
as little as ten percent-since tn
starchy filler will hold the produc

DOMINICAN REPUBLIC
MAKES GOOD

If Uncle Sam ever owed a small
neighbOr nation friendly pat on
the back and hearty, well done"
that nation is the Dominican Re-
public, small but energetic country
in the West Indies which just an
nounced payment of its foreign
debt of $10,O00,000.
Although $10,000,000 is not a
great deal of money by present &C.
onomic standards, it is monetary
proof that a progressive nation can
lift itself out of a financial mOrass
by its own boOtstraps.
This uphill struggle began,
strangely enough, with disheart-
ening descent-a military occupa-
tion by United States Marines in
1916. They landed on an island sunk
in abject poverty, pestilence-rid-
den, it's people illiterate, its roads
unpaved, it's morale negligible. In
a rather tGusQue way, the Marines
taught the Dominicans some pTac-
tical although bitter lessons.
One of the officers who trained
uuu6E JIl6 NdIIuGS was hdIcCA Id
Trujillo, who rose through the
ranks to become a Brigadier Gen
eral and, in 1880, the President of
his country. Under his efficient aG-
ministration, modern schools and
houses were built, roads were paw
ed, disease was all but eradicated
and the National budget showed a
surplus. For the first time in Do
minican history a dollar surplus
was painstakingly built up for the
specific purpose of paying foreign
debts.
Recently the summit of this up
ward struggle was reached. Presi-
dent Trujillo announced that With
the redemption of $10,00O,000 worth
of U. S. held bonds the Dominican
Republic was one of the few nations
in this debt-ridden World to be
completely out of the red.
This appears to be an ACCOMPLISH
ment worthy indeed of a "WelI
! Done. Amigo" from the rest of the
