Leash Law Needed

Dogs with tags, properly vaccinated against
rabies, and not classified as vicious may run
the streets of Wilmington at will. Chief
Hayes of the Police Department wants an
ordinance prohibiting dogs on the streets ex-
cept on leash.
1t is certainly true, as anyone may dis
cover for himself, that the present law gov
erning the goings and conings of dogs does
not meet the need. For one thing dog may
be classified as vicious only after it has
sunk its teeth into the flesh of one or more
persons.
The inadequacy of this provision is proven
by the fact that some thirtyodd persons
have been bitten within a month. If none
were legally at large this would not have
happened, for dogs on leash have little
chance Of biting passing pedestrians.
Furthermore, there are dog packs roam
ing the streets day and night, with many
In the ranks untagged and probably quite
as many unvaccinated. They are definite
menace to mortals.

a partisan calculation into the
situation. Mr.. Truman has made
it much more difficult for Con-

with the European recovery pro.

The partisan monkey wrench
was in the last two of Mr.. Tru'
mans ten points: the request for
authority to set up consumer ra
tioning, and to impose price and
wage ceilings. Mr.. Truman
knew perfectly well when he
made these two requests that
this Congress cannot grant them
without an abject confession
that the whole of the Republican

the Democratic party, have

Tax Legislation

Representative knutson, chairman Of the
House Ways and Means Committee, has up
on several occasions let it be known that he
has no intention of introducing a new tax
bill until the regular congressional session
is under way next January. A change OF
some sort has come o'er the spirit OF Knut-
sons dream
Within month, according to Washing
ton dispatch, the republicans propose to Of
fer new tax legislation with the approval OF
House Speaker Joseph Martin. By moving
quickly the belief is that a new law, which
would offer relief to the countrys tax pay
ers could be in effect when the first install
ment of 1948 income taxes falls due on
March Is next.
The present proposal contemplates three
major provisions:
A $1OO increase in personal tax exemp-
tions, now $500 for the taxpayer and each
dependent This would benefit low-income
people most.
The long awaited community property
amendment which would permit married
couples in the middle and upper income
Some kind of general reduction in income
taxes, probably not as substantial as the
brackets to avoid some surtaxes by splitting
their family income in computing the tax.
average 20 per cent cut passed by Congress
last session and vetoed by President Truman
If the plan is carried out it will be the
third time attempt has been made to cut
personal income taxes. The first two mea-
sures were vetoed by President Truman
Is there reason to hope he will not fol-
low the same course the third time, especl-
ally as he has repeatedly declared he will
sponsor new tax bill when he believes the
time is ripe for it?

Bradley And Eisenhower

General Omar Bradley, who has effected
many reforms in the Veterans Administra-
ton, IS to be the next Army Chief of Staff,
succeeding General of the Army Eisenhow-
er when he takes over the presidency of
Columbia universit.-, and himself will be
succeeded by MIR. Carl r. Gray, vice presi-
dent of the Chicago and Northwestern Rail-
way.
On the assumption that Mr.. GRAY would
not nave risen to his present standing in the
railroad world without sound business iude-
ment, we may take it for granted that the
greater efficiency in administration Cen
eral Bradley achieved will not suffer as a
result of the change and may even be in
creased.
While the Army will feel the loss of Cen
eral Eisenhower, it is not easy to think that
President Truman could have selected any,
one better fitted for the duties of Chief of
Staff than General Bradley, whose war re-
cord is outstanding. And as General Eisen-
hover repeatedly declared, upon his re-
turn from the war, that he most desired to
devote his remaining years to some under
taking essentially associated with the public
welfare, Columbia university is fortunate to
have secured him as president. The switch
is the more acceptable inas1nuch as Gen
eral Eisenhower explained at the start that
his services would always be at the call of his
country should another war emergency
arise.
Only one other possible change for him is

Austerity Program
BY PETER EDSON

WASHINGTON - Republicans
amt gonna like President Tru-
mans message a bit. The busi.
ness lobbies will like it even less
because it calls for return OF
government price and rationing
control. Labor should love it,
even though it calls for author
ity to control wages.
The message is awful good po.
litical strategy. 1t puts the high
cost, of living issue right up to
Congress. If Congress doesn't
want to do anything a about it,
that's the lawmakers choice.
But if they choose to do nothing
or monkey around, the responsi-
bility for whatever happens next
will be right smack on the con-
gressional shoulders.
The job of curbing U. S. in
flation which the President has
now handed Congress would nor
mally take six months. 1t took
that long to pass the first price
control act and the stabilization
act. 1t took the Republican Con-
gress of 1947 that long to revise
price and ra tt o II ing controls
downward in the unavoidable
bill the President had to veto.
1t Will take month or more to
set up the price and rationing
control machinery Congress fl
nally approves, so whatever in
flation curbing is done is a long
way off.
Congress intended to stave off
the fourth round of wage in
creases. The third round is al
ready here. Legislation to pro-
vide the $597 million emergency
aid for France, Italy and Aus
tria may be showed through be-
fore the holidays. Deficiency ap-
preparations for Germany and
Japan should follow in short Or
der. This other bill of goods the
President asks for is something
else again.
1t involves a major economic
reform in the United States. In
one way the Truman message
tosses the bad medicine oa1l to
Republican presidential candi-
date Robert A. Taft. It is now
his pitch.
This is the third time Truman
has tossed the inflated hall to
Taft The first two times Taft
missed the catch. Last January
the President sent to Congress
his first economic report. Taft
did nothing about it. The Sec
ond time was last July, when
the President sent up a mid
year economic report. Both
called attention to initiation.
In the month before Congress
adjourned, Taft's committee did
hold hearings. Every economic
thinker and planner who had a
piece to speak came in and testi-
fled. But the committee did
nothing about it.
The Wilmington morning star., 1947-11-22

| During the congressional re
cess. three sub committee
toured the country to investigate
high prices, after Sen. Ray Bald
win of Connecticut had needlce
them into action. Taft wasn'
along on any of these investi
cations, as he had trip of his
own to make out west, for pure
|ly political purposes. When the
! three subcommittee returned
to Washington, the mid-westerr
group under Ohio Congressman
George H. Bender came out flat.
| ly against any return to con.
trolls.
The eastern group under Sen.
Ralph Flanders of Vermont
came up with a report that con.
sideration might be given to ra-
tioning meat, butter and eggs,
restoring installment buying
controls, extending export con.
trolls, allocating scarce grains
These four are recommended in
Truman's message.
The Flanders subcommittee
then recommended consider
alton Of raising the work week
to A hours, increasing interest
rates on bank loans, lowering in
dividua1 in come taxes, raising
minimum wages above the pres
ent 40 cents an hour, and asking
management and labor volun-
tarilv to hold down wages and
profits.
Senator Flanders had previ-
ously urged curbs on commodity
exchange sp e ulative trading.
Truman's message also calls for
curbing the grain pit gamblers
and he has previously ana re-
peatedly asked for higher min
imum wage. On the other parts
of the Flanders program he does
not 60 along.
What the President wants that
the congressional committee On
the economic report has appar-
entity not thought of s: authori-
ty to allocate transportation IA
cilities and equipment; control
over livestock and poultry mar
|keting; encouragement of De-
partment of Agriculture con-
servation practices; extended
rent control, and control over
inventories of scarce materials.
This, then, is the Truman
austerity program. 1t is an aus
terity program in which nobody
need get hurt. Compared with
the British austerity program,
the Truman message offers ice
cream and cake.
All the Truman austerity pro-
gram asks the country to do is
cut out the foolishness it has
INDUCED in since June, 1916,
with wages chasing prices up
the spiral staircase of initiation
in rat race that can end only
in the trap of an economic
crash.

THE INJECTION OF PARTY
POLITICS

Between the first part of the
Presidents message, which
dealt with the European recov-
cry program, and the second
part, which dealt with the do
mestic initiation, there is a sharp
difference in purpose and in
quality of mind. Two different
sets of advisers, two different
standards, are only too evident.
On the European recovery pro-
gram, Mr.. Truman was the
President working with Con-
gress, regardless of party, so
that "the actions CT this govern
ment" may "be Of a stature to
match the dignity and influence
of the United States in world
affairs" But on initiation, he
was, alas, the politician and the
candidate trying to put the other
party in a hole.
This attempt to mix states
manship with partisan politics is

After two years OF Investigation, Study and Research
we offer Rawleigh's new Weed Killer. It kills numerous
weeds, including Pokeweed. Chickweed, Ragweed, Dandelion,
Pigweed, Burdock, Heal-all, Curled dock, False strawberry,
Daisy, Wild Mustard, Wild lettuce, Wintercress, Frenchweed,
Lawn pennywort, Narrow leaf plantain, japanese honey
suckle, Annual Morning Glory, Annual Sow Thistle, Three
Seeded Mercury, Broad-leaf Plantain.
At the time the weed is sprayed, it shows no i'll effect
but within a few days the leaves twist inward, petioles curl
and the stems go through what appears to be acute con
vulsions. It does not hurt Kentucky blue grass, Annual Blue
Grass, Red Top and Buffalo Grass.
Cows, sheep and hogs have been grazed on treated
pastures with no ill effects.
We continue to offer a full line of extracts, toiletries,
shaving supplies, liniments, stock and poultry remedies. Our
Stock and Poultry supplies include an excellent line of
minerals.
Our Insecticides include Fly Sprays, busting Powders
and a line of DOT powders and liquid sprays of different
strengths.
DOT may be used on cattle-but we admonish you to

industrial experts have decided that
the small town is the place for in
dustry-not big cities. Reasons they
give are better housing, ~pleasanter
living, and more opportunity for
wholesome recreation.
Well, looking around u town
I'd say that was about right. Most
of us own our homes, and keep them
looking nice; we enjoy each others
company: and u recreations are
mostly simple outdoor sports, and
