STORY OF THE WEEK

Active Club members are tell
ing this one in conjunction with
their safe driving campaign:
Three inebriates staggered into
q dive late at night. One managed
to reach the juke box in the mid
die Of the room where he draped
himself for support. The second
almost reached the bar when he
staggered and fell on his face. The
third never got past the door
where he held himself in a SEM
blance Of an upright position.
What you fellows want?" de-
manded the bar tender.
The one in the center of the
room was the only one able to
put words together. "That guy by
the door will take bourbon and
water" he said thickly. "I'll have
scotch and shoda." Then he
pointed to the form PROSTATE on
the norr. "But don't give that guy
nothin.- He's drivin'."

Congress Chose
 Wrong Crystal Ball, Roper Says

WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass-(FP) The GOP-run 80th Congress looked into the wrong crystal ball when it interpreted its election as a mandate for reaction, Elmo Roper, public opinion analyst, said here last week.
 Attending a conference which set up the American Assn. for Public Opinion Research, Roper advised Congress to establish a government operated public opinion survey which could keep it reliably informed on the peoples wishes.
 Members of the 80th Congress, he said, "erroneously interpreted the 194t election and assumed they had man. date they never had As a result of this erroneous impression they acted in such manner that today public opinion polls find Republican chances with the public sharply reduced from six months ago, and Pres. Truman popularity sharply up. The 80th Con gresS simply guessed wrong as tc what the people wanted and had nc way they trusted to find out"
 Congress was also criticized by economist Stuart Chase who said Poll after poll shows the mass of the citizens wiser than their leaders, ahead of the administration and several light-years ahead of Congress"

Is Profiteering Responsible For
 Our High Prices?
Continued from Page One )

Continued from Page One) CTS in Congress, is braving the heat of Washington to prepare for hearings into the cause and cure of high prices which will shortly be launched by a Senate Committee of which he is a member
 Almost weekly the Wyoming sena- tor gives out statement warning that unless prices come down the country faces disaster, but his is voice cry ing in the wilderness
 In his latest broadside O'Ma- honey declares that a ''depression needn't happen" adding:
 ''There is purchasing power in the United States which is capable of keeping the country. running OIl high for years to come. But charg- ing 'alI the traffic will bear will undermine it.''
 The Senator declared that "some of our business leaders are endanger- ing production and inviting depression by charging too high prices"
 PRODUCTION IS NEEDED
 You don't need to increase prices, lie emphasized. All that is needed is for business to increase production"
 He recalled that the elder Henry Ford gave business lesson which it had not learned when, by reducing prices, he proved "that the greatest profits are to be found in mass con sumption"
 In another statement O'Mahoney went to the mat with steel moguls whom he accused of endangering prosperity by withholding produc- ton. He said that unless more steel is produced small concerns will be forced to the wall.
 The steel people argue that current demand is abnormal and will soon subside.
 The industry has potential capacity of 9l millions tons a year. It is producing SC million tons-which steel men say is their day-to-day capacity
 There is not enough to go around just now, and as a result thousands of workers in the automobile and other industries are working short time and suffering periodical layoffs.
 O'Mahoney said the consuming power of America is ''beyond the imagination of those business ex- ecutives who are slowing down pro- duction by holding up prices."

College To Train
 Labor Arbitrators

SOUTH ORANGE, N. ]. U A broad program of labor relations studies will be inaugurated at Seton Hall College in September, Monsignor James F. Kelly, president, announced.
 "The importance of arbitration in labor disputes can no longer be over looked" said Dr. Frank Wallace Nag gi, dean of the department of business administration. Although emphasis has been placed on voluntary arbitra- tion of disputes since the conclusion of the war, no attention has been given to the training of arbiters. Seton Hall College plans to inaugurate program to select, train and develop efficient arbiters who will be available to all industries"
 Intensive studies of labor relations and legislation, wages and prices, gov ernment and labor, collective bargain ing and the relation of the recent Taft Hartley act to the labor movement will form an important part of the course.

COME FROM FOOD
 Vitamins are substances which are present in small amounts in food and are necessary for good health. Remember, they come from ordinary food.
 Scientists have discovered many vitamins and will discover others. But every vitamin ever discovered came from your everyday food, and there are probably other vitamins in that food which have not yet been discovered.
 If your diet includes enough meat, eggs, milk, fresh fruits and vegetables, you can forget about yitamins. If you are eating such a diet and feel i'll or run-down or tired.-vitamin pills won't help you at all.
 The advertisers try to make you believe that it's very hard to figure out balanced diet and that you should take vitamin pills just to be sure. The fact is, it isn't at all diff cult to have a balanced diet if you can afford it.
 But when prices go skyhigh and the paycheck stays unchanged, people cut down on expensive food like meat eggs, milk, vegetables and fruit, and stock up on bread and other cereals which are cheaper
 AVOID RADIO APARTMENT
 There are some people who need vitamin pills, but these people are truly sick and need the advice of a physician,-not radio announcer People with low incomes may get vita min diseases and need vitamin pills for certain period of time, but what these people need even more is a bet ter income so they can afford better diet
 The vitamin racket is dangerous be- cause it makes some people neglect serious illnesses. Just to give one ex- ample, vitamins are recommended by the ballyhoo men for poor appetite.
 But poor appetite may mean many things, from not liking your job to cancer of the stomach. Neither of these conditions will be helped by vitamins. And if the per- son with cancer of the stomach goes on taking vitamins and neg lects to see doctor, he may dis cover the truth too late for a cure.
 The public must be protected against false advertising and false medical claims. The law makes the drug manufacturers put on their packages exactly what is incide But our pres

Joint Labor Group Wins

DENVER (FP)-In the first test of new joint political action group set up here by AFL, CIO and railroad unions, organized labor succeeded in electing four out of five candidates for the city charter convention. |. The victors were J. Clyde Williams of the AFL electrical workers, Ru- dolph B. Cook of the AFL public en- ployes, Blanche Goldheld of the Den yer CIO Council and Frank E. Phe- Ian of the railroad brotherhoods.
 This minority is depended on to liberalize the new charter as com pared with the old. The unionists will be helped by other socially minded people, notably Mrs. Mabel Costigan, widow of the liberal Sen. Edward P. Costigan.
 The new joint political action group, set up after passage of the Taft Hart ley act, will function continuously un- til the 1o48 elections.

 Johnson's program also calls for elimination of monopoly; reduction of prices to lowest possible levels; con struction of modern, healthful plants to replace eyesores, and many other reforms.
 In short, he says, business must be guided by code of ''tOtal ser vice. to the people, and labor must do its part unstintingly, or private enterprise will not survive.

Redwood Strike Oldest In Country

SEATTLE (LPA-The nationfs longest. strike-started by the Lum- Der X Sawmill Workers-AFL on Jan. IA, 1o46 against eight California. red wood 'companies-has entered its 18th month with strikers morale still high.
 Although most of the original strik- CTS are now employed in fair lumber operations, money is still the vital need for maintaining about 250 pickets and their families as we'll as other strike expenses, Hartley said. The unfair mills are still running with skeleton crews, and production in these plants is still less than half their capacity.
 The California State Council of Carpenters has determined not to use any struck redwood lumber.
