THE CITY HAS ANNOUNCED that the last week in May will be cleanup week and urges property to get busy and do their share in gathering up the accumulated winter debris.
 This applies not only to the property but to those of community who not owners but rent CTS They too should help in keeping the appearance of the city as we'll protecting their health.

 IT IS TOO BAD that everybody in the United States did not have opportunity to hear address which William S. Street president of Frederick and Nelson made last month in Washington, D. c.

1 An investment is a venture into which people put money with the expectation of getting back fheir principal with interest thereon. They expect if 10 earn something for them. Pouring American saw ings into European and Asiatic ratholes would be anything but an investment.

 There's talk from Washington, D. C., that the House appropria- tions committee is cooking up B l-3 per cent cut in the appro- priation for the department of ag- u ture. President Truman's budget called for 944 million dol lars. It is reported this request will be slashed to 315 millions, mainly by eliminating benefit payments" If agriculture, as pros porous as it is now, can't stand upon its own feet in times of pros ] perity, it will have to be subsi- 1 dized forever.
 To avoid sugar famine in the midst of plenty later in the sum- mer, arrangements had better be made now to get more sugar into ; the hands of consumers. Sugar from Cuba is piling up in eastern seaboard refining centers. If it is not shipped out now while freight cars are available, transporta- tion tie-up later in the year will make deliveries impossible. When the wheat harvest starts, the rail- roads will be swamped. The sug- gestion that the next sugar ration stamp be made good before July appears wise.
 Plans have been made to rush more than 100000 tons of food into American and British occu- patton zones of Germany. That probably is necessary. But what a ! lot of people are wondering is when the German people are go- ing to start feeding themselves { again. They bragged about being the master race," and were going to rule the whole world. They ought to be able to feed them selves.
 This rush of American food SUD- plies to Germany, coupled with Congressional decision to appro- priate more millions the House voted 200 millions and the Senate voted 300 millions for foreign re- lief, is liable to touch off another series of price increases.

Esssnaials te Health

To meet all of these heavy de- mands we must have Q healthy economy. This is not optional. It is a must. President Truman, MT. Bernard Baruch, and others are calling for some of the essentials to a healthy economy. They have recently stressed longer hours, and higher productivity on the part of labor; lower profits and lower prices an the part of indus. try; and maximum production on the part of agriculture. These are good. They are essential, and I en- dorse all of them.
 But one equally important item is being overlooked. It is SO im- portant, that I believe unless cor rected properly it will act as a brake on our economy and pre- vent the very prosperity we all crave. It is a problem that cannot be correctly settled just on a hunch. It has a solution that runs counter to- political expedience, which is a great handicap. It is a matter which requires study, for although the corrective measures

A PRESENT THREAT

America today needs thinkers if any nation ever did. We not only have the responsibility of the world, but we have a debt of $2,000 for every man, woman, and child. This means a debt of $8,000 for a family of four. Just to pay the interest on that debt takes more federal income than the na- tion ever raised from taxes in any year before the war. We have, also, the added costs of war pen sions and expenditures for veter- ans.
 Moreover, we must keep strong armed forces as hope of not soon being in another war. Again and again we shall be called upon for relief and assistance to foreign countries. The $400, ,000, ,00O for Greece and Turkey is only be- ginning. The total demand over the next two years may run as much as $3.000, ,000, 900 above all present obligations. Demand is everywhere, at home and abroad.

High Speed Radio Developed

WASHINGTON, R - NEG president Niles Trammel said to- day a new radio communication system has been developed which can send 100000 words min ute.
 He said the new system. known as ultrafax. "could transmit 50.000 word novels from New York to San Francisco in only 60 seconds"
 It's so speedy, the National Broadcasting company head told Congress, that present communi- cations methods will seem as "slow as the OK cart compared with stratoliner."
 Ultrafax was developed by Ra- >dia Corporation ofI America, and will be ready for a public showing some time this summer. Trammel said this is the way it works.
 Each printed page is treated as a picture and ds) flashed in rapid succession. At the receiv- ing end, the pages are reproduced by a new high-speed photographic process for quick delivery"
 Trammell told a Senate inter- state and foreign commerce sub committee that the new process may mean that the newspaper of the future will be delivered by ra- dio.

Our Per- Capita Red Population
(Anchorage Daily Times)

 THERE ARE MORE Communists per capita in the U. S. today that there in Russia in 1917 says Edgar Hoover, the FBI chief. America has one dues-paying comrade for every 1914 n-Communsts, while in Rus sa 30 years ago the proportion one to 2277
 Furthermore, says MT. Hoover, for each American Communist there 10 fellow travellers willing fol- low his lead and do his work If we add them to Mos- cows figure of 74000 party members in this country get figure of 000 active pro-Communists, or about for every 165 Americans And since there are few Reds in agriculture, management and the profes

sos the ratio must be much smaller in the fields where they are active. ~
 So we can get an even more alarming figure than MT Hoovers 1914 to But before We jump to any con- lcusions we might speculate on how many anti-Con- munists there among MT. Hoovers 2277 Russian nOn-C Communists in 1917.
 Russia had already thrown out the in socialist revolution when the Bosheviks, of the present Communist party took in the fall of 1917 The country prostrate and groping for leadership Mil itary defeat by Germany had touched off the dering revolt of millions held in virtual slavery.
 That was the Russian situation in 1917 Socialism was assured in form. The big question when, how much, and by whom The BOShevikS answered that question But their conquest scarcely the conquest of one Leninist over 2277 determined opponents.
 Whatever conclusion MT. Hoover wishes drawn from his comparative figures it is obvious that Com munis could accomplish in the fertile field of 1917 Russia than he in America today Yet this does not leave free to underestimate the Communist menace here and For the comrades would dearly love to create the sort of chaos that led to victory in Russia
 There are at present only two discernibe ways by which they might do this One would be for the rest of us to mismanage our economy so completely that pop ular uprising could result The other would be for become gullible and confused to permit the Com muniss to gain enough control to create their up rising before we woke up to what was happening.
 Both possibilities seem remote, but they worth guarding against A tendency toward the second is sponsble for much of the Communist strength in Amer ica today Some of pick up the Reds catch phrases without realizing their source or implications and thus help spread basic propaganda.
 Too many liberals are inclined to confuse Commun- ism with liberalism, and call all their opponents Fas ciss Conversely too many conservatives brand all lb eralism Communism, thus infuriatng sincere patr oc liberals and making them easier prey for the Com munists.
 MT. Hoovers FBI has big job to do in uncovering and exposing active Communism. But there is equal big job of education to be done by press schools political parties, unions and other groups That job is to show the party line where it exists, and to try to promote that temperate thinking which save the American people from being suckers on the one hand and bigots on the other.

The House Got Burned Down Before We Got There
(The Denver Post)

(The Denver Post)
 THE TIMETABLE OF EVENTS which have led to the Communist coup in Hungary and to the spreading of Soviet power throughout eastern Europe should be Kept clearly in mind It is an to those who ex plain this development Russas reoiner to the Tr- doctrine.
 The record does not support such as explanation in spite of the T told you so which are now rising from among the Wallace followers and the Communist party liners.
 The Communist seizure of power in Budapest-gloat- ed oyer by Matyas Rakos, Hungarys Red dictator
 is the climax of train of events which began long before the Truman doctrine was proclaimed March 12, 1947
 The flames were first touched off in the Allied agree ment which permitted Russia to establish the Red army in Hungary the sole occupying force They were fan ned by the Russian pressure which forced Communists into key positions of despite the minor frac ton of votes by the party in the elections of 1945 And finally they to full conflagraton in series of pressure plays which began we'll before President Truman announced the U. S. policy of aiding nations threatened by aggression.
 Russia tipped her hand completely on Feb 26 of this year-a full two weeks before the Truman speech when Communist agents, accompanied by Russia gen. era arrested Bela kovacS, member of the Hungarian parliament and leader of the majority Small Landhod- CTS party As in the recent custer of Premier Ferenc Nagy, the excuse for the Russian action trumped up charge of conspiracy against Hungarian democ- racy."
 The conception of democracy" in which minority seizes power with the aid of alien army and secret police led by foreign agents is purely Russian one
 The Truman doctrine had nothing to do with the Russian conquest of Hungary except possibly to step the timing: That unhappy country has dropped behind the iron curtain victim of the kind of aggression which U S. policy seeks to prevent we failed in Hun gary, it was because were not able to bring our power to bear in time.
 We beginning to that the faults of U S. policy will not be in design, but rather in execution In the Truman doctrine we have fire department" for use against the holocaust of aggression The department to blame only if it fails to reach the fire before the house burns down.

Desire se Venture

Desire to Venture
 refer to taxes on incomes in the high brackets. The contention that we can keep the present high tax rate on big incomes and main- tain a healthy economy is in my opinion fallacious. A dynamic economy like ours requires that a lot of men each year must not only dream dreams of achievement, but that they actually must venture into business in an effort to satis- fly American consumers. To do that requires lot of capital and a willingness to venture that cap- ital.
 This is an obligation upon men who have large amounts of capi- tai. But men in the high brackets now are being taxed up to 85 per cent of their net income. The take from income is so great as to threaten their willingness to risk. A man who could keep only Is per cent of any additional income would not likely find it advisable to undergo the required risk neces- "ry to increase his income. Natu- rally, it is easy to say that those in the high brackets are the ones most able to pay, that they are the last ones to deserve any tax relief.
 Politics and Courage
 It is also good politics to appeal to the many, with a determination to keep taxes high on those table to pay" But it is very bad for the future of the nation. Realistic statesmanship should have no part of this. Any policy that keeps competitive capital from going freely into tools of production to make goods and provide jobs is in the long run going to reduce the national income, reduce the num- Der of good jobs, and reduce wages.
 Sustained high investment of private capital in the tools of pro- duction is the only possible road to sustained high wages and full employment. May we have the courage and the wisdom to stop penalizing those who can supply venture capital. We must correct this dangerous threat to our future before it is too late, regardless of immediate political repercussions. May we look to the welfare of the many, .and keep America ever the land of the free.

Opening of the Marysville
Municipal Swimming Pool, sche-

delayed until further notice be-
cause of weather conditions.
Frank w. Galloway, manager
of the Pool stated that as long
as the weather remained as cold
as it is at present they would not
be able to open the pool. Last
year the pool opened Memorial
Day and stayed open for two days
then had to close for three days
because of a cold spell. 1t re-
opened and enjoyed its best seas

as the coldest one around here
for sometime.
Although few season tickets
have been sold so far, Mr.. Gallo

close for week early in June,
but the pool stilled enjoyed

UTILITIES COMMISSION MAY BATTLE

the same question is in the courts
in Georgia and Oklahoma-does
Western Union have the right to
do this without permission from
the State?
Western Union says it does.
Western Union says that since
1943, when Congress gave its
blessings to the merger with Pos
tai, states have no further juri-
Sdiction over its abandonments or
extensions. They can pass on toll
charges on messages that cross no
state lines, but not on whether
Western Union shall close this
office or open that one, or for
what hours of the day.
The PUCO says it doesn't.
PUCO says that Ohio law COW

state service to Ohioans. and
that while it probably would
grant the companY's wish the
minute it was asked, Ohio in
sists on being asked.

was curious thing. West
ern Union regarded it wholly
as FEC hearing. PUCO
representatives, Attorney Exam

The dryest May on record is
in 1884 when only .67 inches of
rain fell, while in 1922, 642 inches
of rain fell making that year the
wettest May on record.
While the amount of rainfall
has been bad, it has not been the
quantity, but the continuous pre-
cipitation that has done the most
harm. 1t has held farmers and
gardeners from their work so
long, that it may be a case of
"tin can gardening" if it doesn't
stop soon.
Traces of rain were seen Is of
the 81 days in May. The record Of
this rainfall is, .33 on the lst; AT
