The Kremlin will understand
this, and we must expect it to

Of seeking ito contain" the So

is just, and that we are the

We shall have written off the

Three congressional committees
last week studied the Presidents
meager initiation proposals.
Secretary of Commerce Harri-
man warned that "inequities and
dangers inherent in this spiraling
of prices, costs and incomes, should
be clear" He called for credit
controls, and suggested that prices
of steel, meat and lumber might
be cut below present levels.
Secretary of Agriculture Ander-
son asked for broad powers to con-
troll supplies of food.
Prospects were that the con-
gressional committees would side
step what little real meat there
is in the Presidents program and
act first on the less controversial
credit controls and a. campaign
for sale of savings bonds.

L Of history the Library OF
Congress is, in q modest way,
in the record business.
The Library's Archive Of
American Folk Song Is
charged with the task Of col
lecting the legends of Amer
lea in tune and tale. and its
agents, some Of them unof-
ficial, roam far and wide to
get this unwritten history on
discs.
The library sells from 500
to 600 recordings each month.
In its files are more than 40,-
600 selections cut on some
10000 master discs, and more
are coming out all the time.
For q nominal fee you can
buy a chantey called Haul
Away, My Rosy; a lament on
a mine disaster titled, PAY
Day at Coal Creek" or a fan
tasy, 'Froggie Went A-Court-
Ing" q reasonably modern
version Of an old English song
originally called "Ye straunge
Weddinge of LIE Frogge and
Ye Mowse."
Around the country are
lovers OF folklore who 60 out
with portable machines to
record the songs Of the re-
gion, usually songs narrating
>long-forgotten events, Gus
toms or superstitions. Some
times it isn't q song at all,
but q poem or q recitation
but always it Is q bit Of Amer
icana.
The collection of folklore
is, In most cases, . labor Of
love. A recognized collector
might borrow one Of several
available recording machines
from the Library, with a
handful of blank discs and,
during vacation, strike out to
compile some of the hillbilly
songs Of the Ozarks. Or he
might head for the gold and
silver camps Of the West to
pick up some Of the early and
never-written tales and songs
Of the miners. Indeed, one
eEstwhile collector Of mining
camp lore is now the head OF

rich, who became interested
In songs Of the miners when
he was teaching at the Uni
versity Of Denver. During the
war he was the ofncial his
torian for SHAEF, Gen. Eisen-

Other collectors have come
up with songs from the an
thracite miners of Pennsyl-

Afro-Bahians, Negro work
songs and spirituals, and
French tunes which are still
sung in the bayou country of
