THE KEY TO RECOVERY

CECRETARY OF STATE MARSHALL has told the Amerl-
can people that without rival of German production
there be revival of Europes economy. He left no
doubt that the aid program now pending in Congress is
bound to fail unless its principal condtonnamey the
tabshment of sae sound and reasonably prosperous Ger

Naturally we are elated that the American people

Having that far believe it is fitting to ask Has Am

Europe To what extent has tary recognition OF the

SHALL RICH OR POOR BENEFIT FROM TAX CUTs?"

SHALL RICH OR POOR BENEFIT FROM TAX CU1S!"
battle taxes is shaping up in Congress- For the
present it is confined to hearings before the House
Ways and Means Committee The real shooting will take
place when the regular session meets in January.
The main problem engaging the attention of lawmakers
remains unchanged. It is
"Sha the major relief be given to the rich shall the
poor be relieved of heavy tax burdens?"
The only influential voice far raised in behalf of the
'te fellow is that of Randolph Paul. formerly connected
with the Treasury and New York tax consultant.
Paul insists that when tax reductions made the
chief benefits should go to those in the lower income brac
kets of whom find it impossible to stretch their
incomes soaring prices
Both the Republicans and the administration have
agreed that the socaled community property provision
shall be part of any tax legislation.
This would be great Christmas gift to the very rch
but unless something unexpected happens the little fellow
will come out at the small end of the horn.
Secretary of the Treasury John w. Snyder told Con-
gressona committee that tax legislation should be kept in
storage until 1--WE find out how much will be needed for for
egn aid something has been paid the national debt and
revisons made in the basic tax structure"
The Republicans not disposed to follow Snyder's
advice about posponing action They intend to pass
kind of tax legislation before election.

CAN THE ARMY EXPLAIN THIS?

ONE Of the most sinister developments in long time is
~ disclosed by United Press story from Birmingham,
Alabama 1t says private detective agency there 'headed
by Fred BOdecker is organizing veterans in "army
reserve group to spy upon Southern Communists.
Labor is against Communists knows that
but this sort of thing threat to every liberal movement
in the South and dangerous precedent for the rest of the
country.
Congressional probes have revealed the low type of
employed by private detective agencies Should such private
dicks be allowed to organize any kind of army unit for
Uncle Sam, let alone spy group?
Moreover, if army officials really have okayed this
strange move They running counter to the will of Con-
gress expressed only few months ago in the army

Agency to spy in other countries for Uncle Sam Critics

Congress took the warnings seriously and before

EXPOSURE MEDICINE FOR REDS

EXPOSURE of Communists and native Fascsts" through
- national and state legislation advocated by the
Presidents Committee Civil Rights in its recent report
which recommended that such groups be compelled to
lister.
"The principle of disclosure, the committee declared,
is the appropriate to deal with those who would sub
democracy by revolution by encouraging dis
unity and destroying the civil rights of groups
The recommendation in line with the sound stand
taken by the American Federation of Labor which believes
that exposure the best remedy for Communists and their
mendaciOus propaganda. AFL President Green made
strong for this method of fighting the Reds when he
told the House Committee UnAmercan Activities last
Spring that by far the most effective weapon against Com
munist penetration and ntratlon is mercleSs public
posure of the and methods utilized by Communists to
gain influence and control political civic, social and

their formal political activities The force of the Communist

,SdYs Swine Disease
Control Now More
Important Thdn v e

Every pig that dies this year
before 1t is ready for market
represents seven times as great
a loss to the farmer as did the
loss of a similar porker in 1884
Citing these dollars and cents
comparisons, the America n
Foundation for Animal Health
today said that swine disease
control on farms this summer
will be more financially i'm
portant than at any time in
the past 20 years. In late spring
of 1884, the report showed,
market hogs were around SO a
hundredweight, while this year
they have ranged from $40 to
$25 per hundredweight.
The foundation pointed to
three major threats to this
summers hogs, and urged the
farmers to take special pre-
cautions against them. Hog
cholera, erysipelas and enter
tits were named as the great
est hazards for the next three
months. Steps listed by the
foundation to guard against
them include:
"All spring pigs should be
vaccinated against cholera. In
areas where erysipelas is a
threat, they should be vaccin-
ated against this disease also.
Fresh, clean pasture should
be used as a protective measure
against enteritis. Careful con-
troll of rations is also a safe
guard against this problem.
Newly purchased animals
should be isolated from the
hons herd until the owner is
sure they are not disease car
rierS.
IF sickness does appear, a
prompt diagnosis is the first
step toward preventing serious
losses
las insurance against bru-
celloSiS losses in the fall pig
crop, breedinr stock should be
blood-tested now, to weed bru-
cllOSiS carriers"

Reviews Situation
In National
Parks This Summer

are better at the very begin
ming of the travel season and
after Labor day.
The total amount of accomo-
| dalton in the parks and monu-
ments this year will be appreci-
ably greater than it was last
year. This is due only to a
small extent to the provision OF
new facilities. At Yellowstone
there are expected to be more
rooms and cottages available
because of the prospect of suf-
! ficient help to operate them.
The Yellowstone Park company
last year was unable to permit
the use of all hotel space be-
| cause of the impossibility OF
obtaining enough employees to
care for it and the occupants;
and the shortage Of help made
it necessary to close Camp
Roosevelt, near Tower Falls, in
mid -season. This year, some ad-
ditional space will be provided
at the old Lake hotel, which,
was closed for several years be-
fore the war.
Although the National Park
service was unable to provide
adequate maintenance of roads
and structures during the war,
or to make more than a be-
ginning on necessary repairs
and rehabilitation during 1945,
further repair work has been
going ahead as rapidly as the
limited funds at the disposal of
the service would permit. Roads
also are being put in better re-
pair, but much needed recon-
Struction still remains to be
done. Road maintenance and
other machinery received dur
ing the past year from war sur
plus has enabled the service to
improve these conditions.
I'VE cannot know, until there
is final action on the Interior
appropriation bill, just how ade-
quately manned we shall be in
the ITO areas of the national
park system" declared Mr.. Dru-
ry, but we know that we shall
not have more than enough
field employees to look after
the public and to protect the
areas. We shall have to con-
tinue to rely to a large extent
on the public itself to see that
its property is not damaged.
Last year. the whole service
was troubled by the amount of
careless damage by visitors in
such widely different places as
the Statue of Liberty National
monument and Yellowstone Ma
tional park.
AT the Statue of Liberty, a
new coat of washable paint
which will not absorb lipstick,
and a wire enclosure around
the stairway leading to the
statues head to prevent writ
ing on the inner shell of the
statue, tend to discourage van
dalisms. Unfortunately, similar
protection cannot be given the
delicate hot spring and geyse1
formations in Yellowstone. De-
bris thrown into the pools is
not merely difficult, but it is
often impossible to remove. In
some cases it has actually pre-
vented the flow of themal wa
tiers or caused accumulations
of pressure and explosions that
have destroyed or damaged the
