He likes the hit parade idea too

to play what people like to hear"
Told that a large number of veter.
ans attended the neighborhooc

head understandingly.

Francis E. Burgess headed a squad
of IL policemen which began search
ing the club grounds. A harbor pa
troll boat stood by offshore.
They bound Brown aboard the
yacht belonging to Walter Balm
bridge of 1885 Seventeenth street
NV. Cutting off the lights around
the dock and surrounding the yacht,
police opened one of the matches
and ordered Brown to come out.
Getting no response, they forced
their way through the cabin door.
Inside, they discovered the youth,
who was just rousing from his slum-
bers when he was overpowered.
James o. Boteler, yacht club stew
ard, said number of thefts of food,
drinks and a radio have occurred in
the yacht club area within the last
week, and police believed Brown may
have used the yacht as his hiding
place since shortly after his escape.
The youth, whose address was
given as the 100 block of C street
NE, was being held for grand jury
action on a charge of breaking and
entering at the time of his escape
from the Fairfax Jail.

probably if I had bullied him about
it, he never would have gone. AS
it was, he thought he was having
his own way"
This veteran wife, as well as a
couple sitting nearby who had been
married IS years, agreed, however,
they had learned great deal from
Father Hartdegan's talk.
"He reminded me- of some things
had forgotten about during the
years." said the husband. For one
thing, I'm going to try to be more
considerate of my wife's views and
wishes"
His wife made a few resolutions,
too. "He spoke of the Importance
OF a wife's keeping up her appear
ace" she said. I'm going to try
and do better on that score.
"And I'm also going to remember
that little matter of cheerful
hello when he comes home from
work-in spite of how busy I am
looking after the housework and our
two little boys"
Father Hartdegan included these
rules for good husbands:
Don't take for granted your wifes
efforts to please you, whether in
her cooking, hats or other provi-
sions for your likes and dislikes.
Pay some attention to her little
grievances, just as she makes 1t
her business to know yours.
| Be considerate in such matters
as calling her when you are not
coming home to supper.
Some of the speakers recon-
mendations for wives included:
Pay attention to your husbands S
comforts.
Don't be bossy.
Don't whine.
Don't nag him to make more
money when he is doing his best
Happiness IN the home is more
important.
For both husbands and wives:
Be respectful toward your in
laws. Remember at the same time
however, that your first duty is
toward your husband or wife.
Registration for the lectures, be-
ing held at Carroll Hall, G street
between Ninth and Tenth streets
NV, was closed last night Father
] Hartdegan announced.

setting up Government bureaus, has
some effect on employment. But If
we are to make success Of the
fundamental question. politics ought
to be eliminated and legislation
which has only minor effect on
the broad problem of general en-
ployment and major effect on
politics left for political determina-
ton.
One OF the most difhcult and i'm
portant problems is the mainte-
nance of farm prices in some proper
relationship with the price of manu-
factured goods. We have a commit
tee now working on a program to
succeed the present program of guar
anteed prices which comes to an end
on December 81, 1948. Here, again,
we have a dilemma of maintaining
sound balance between prices
without price fixing or detailed pro-
duction controls. Here again, the
problem is to keep the Government
in position of helpfulness and in
f1uencing basic trends without di-
rect Interference with the operation
of each individual farm. The Re-
publican program inclines against
production control unless it is the
only possible remedy for starvation
prices.
In summary, we are completely
opposed to the OPA theory, which
has in effect dominated by the

honor at present to be chairman,
This committee is to study the Pres
ident's report, and make its own
studies to determine the factors
which bring about depression and
when there is danger of a depres-
sion occurring, and recommend pro-
cedure and legislation to prevent
depressions. We have appointed
subcommittee which are holding
hearings throughout the United
States to get first-hand information
about high prices, the cause for
them in particular industries and the
measures which might be taken to
reduce them.
We face the dilemma as to how
far Government can plan and inter-
fere with a free economy and still
have it remain free. No doubt a
completely sociaistic system can
eliminate violent depressions. but
apparently only at the cost of lin
tied production in which the aver
age standard Of living is lower than
the average under our system. New
ertheless, have felt that unless
under our system we can prevent
the kind of hardship and suffering
We saw in the sos. The people might
take the position that regardless of
ultimate benefits, they would try
some system which did not have to
reach its goal through periods of
heavy unemployment.
We do know good deal more
today about economic forces than
we have known before. We nave

better statisticians. We do not have
better brains, and I am afraid we
have more economic prejudices to
disturb our collective judgment
Economic forces are infinitely COM
plicated and it is hard to calculate
or to change the relative strength
of different pressures which are
operating at the same time. Human
ingenuity, however, should be able
to solve any problem.
Undoubtedly the Government can
stimulate certain types of activity
like public works when necessary.
1t can discourage others. Prosper
ity depends apparently upon the
proper balance between wages and
prices, between farm prices and
industrial prices, between savings
and investment, between expendi-
lures for consumption goods and
expenditures for durable goods, be-
tween the relative income groups in
the population. Education and Gov
ernment action should do something
to keep this balance somewhere
within reason. The statistics we now
hav eshould give warning. The
Government should be able to act
In time to hold unemployment to
a minimum.
Ought to Eliminate Politics.
In the Presidents first economic
report, he undertook to recommend

questions. OF course, any legislation

and unfiendly control Of the in
dividual businessman and the indi-
vidual farmer. The Republican
Party has always stood for higher
standard of living. In my opinion,
no workman has ever been paid too
much for days work well done.
But there is a limit to the total
productive capacity of the country,
and therefore to his share of goods
made available. We cannot divide
up more than we make.
The great problem is to tune up
our economic machine and increase
production on the whole. A good
job has been done in the United
States, but we want to find the
means of doing better job, of rails
ing the standard of living and in
creasing wages without increasing
prices. That can only be done by
more productivity per man. We
recognize that the Government must
play a part in helping to make our

in the price level which brings hard
ship to millions of people with more
or less fixed incomes. We must
realize also, however, that there are
also millions much better off than
they were before the war, even with
prices much higher. The American
people on the average, in fact, are
enjoying the highest standard OF
living Of any people in the world,
now or at any time in the past.
While the cost of living has in
creased less than 10 per cent, ac-
cording to the Bureau Of Labor Sta
tistics, average earnings in manu-
featuring and mining have increased
more than 100 per cent.
Sharpest Rise in Foods
The greatest increase in price
has been in the case of foods. In
fact, more than half the increase
to the average family has been due
to food. In this field. there has been
no charge of excessive profits to
businessmen. The farmer has re-
ceived his share of the increase, and
the increase has been due simply to
the demand being so much greater
than prewar demand. In spite OF
the notoriously high price of meat,
the average per capita consump-
ton of meat in the United States
has increased Is per cent since 1899,
so the income is there to pay for it
in spite of the high prices. While
the export demand has material
effect, and also the reserve supply
of money saved during the war, the
fundamental reason for high prices
is the tremendous income Of the
American people today due to full
employment and high wages.
There is no reason to believe that
the normal course of economic de-
velopment under a free system will
not solve the problem. High prices
will further increase production and
thus reduce price. Abnormal ex-
ports cannot continue. The abnor-
NAL employment resulting from such
exports and from accumulated de-
mands postponed during the war
period will undoubtedly taper off,
and tend to reduce demand.
It is vitality important that this
slowing down Of abnormal activity
be gradual and that new produc-
ton be stimulated to take up some
part of the activity which certainly
cannot be continued.
What action, then, can we take?i
I believe we may as well recognize
that prices are permanently up
above prewar prices. Since both

opposed to measures which elm
