EXPANDING ECONOMY

It was erroneously supposed during the latter l92Os that the United States had entered upon a new era of abundant money and production attuned to every human need. Had economy been better stabilized vulnerable to sudden deflation- ary movement-we might indeed. have made the prosperity of that more lasting.
 And what of today? Fortunately, with all of our blundering and rampant sefishness there some differences which lead us to hope that, in the long run we do have solid ground for continuing pros perity Nor need place all of our reliance upon the securities and exchange regulations, the Federal insurance of bank deposits, the immense unemploy- men insurance reserves and other props created by law during the last generation.
 much wider distribution of wealth and income exists now Whereas the Federal scheme of taxation has prevented any individual from amassing tre- mendous amount of money, more people are at work than ever before their earnings are greater than ever before and personal savings at record peak.
 The Commerce Department reports that per capita payments to individuals in the nation last year reached peak of Sl 200 more than double the s575 average of 1940 This illustrates the immense breadth of pur- chasing power in the United States today If take the average family group to be four persons, the family income average thus is $4800 And that, Of course is a figure which takes no account of the value of income not calculated in terms of money, such as farm production for personal use.
 The greater the average individual income. natur- ally the greater nations resistance to serious economic upset
 Sixty million jobs likewise powerful stabiliz- ing factor The more people there are at work-and

Investigation Tactics
wa ashingtOn POSt)


 Senator Brewster's announcement that there will be no effort to perpetuae the Senate War Investgat ing Committee beyond next January as welcome that the special committee habit has suf- fered a critical blow. To be Mir Brewster says that it was never the intention that the committee continue to function beyond the current year, but this willingness end the inquiry might have become very weak by next January if the investigation had not proved to be a boomerang As matters stand, the Congressional circus to which MT Brewster con- tributed has at least served the useful purpose of discrediting special committees which seek to take the work of the reorganized standing committees of Congress.
 Last week brought fresh reminder, however, that confinement of investigations to standing com mittees is guarantee of proper conduct the part of the investigators. The counsel for subcommittee of the House Committee Education and Labor, Irving McCann seized the general counsel of the American Federation of Labor by the throat during the course of hearing and knocked him down The investigator used insulting language to another witness and had to apologize. We do not overlook the fact that the AFL counsel, MT. Padway, had accused MT McCann of using "Gestapo tactics" But set of epthets can justify agent of Congress in resorting to physical violence MT. McCann has destroyed his usefulness investigator We think that he should understand this and hand in his should replace him for the sake of elevating it's investigation from the level of brawl to that of an impartial search for information.

 The Secretaries of Army Navy and Air chosen by President Truman confirm expectations. All are com peent well seasoned in public service and with vgor that will stand them in good stead in the heavy tasks of reorganization ahead They already at work in their departments, advantage we move into the transition period under unification. MT. Royall is already Secretary of War MT. Sullivan has long since demonstrated his fitness in the Navy De- partment, where he has been Assistant Secretary or Under Secretary for about two years. MT Symingon has been Assistant Secretary of War for Air for a year and half. He was previously Surplus Prop erty Administrator, which post he did a good job amid the greatest difficulties
 This is the team that Secretary Forrestal will work with the Armed Forces Unification Act goes into effect. They bear heavy responsibility for the effectiveness of the organization of our Se- curity will depend greatly on the spirit of CO., operation in which unfication goes forward In the heat of controversy the form unificaton would take animoses were aroused that will have to be for gotten now All three of these appointeeS have the qualities of independence that will help maintain ful individuality in their departments We believe that the Secretary of Defense fair administrator who by tact and diplomacy will balance and harmony. The result should be strong national military estab- lishment thatsis the best guarantee of peace.

IN THE LIONS MOUTH

Industrialist Henry Kaiser put his head in a lions mouth the other day, wound up having the lior thank him for the experience.
 The lion in this case was Penn- sylvania's crusty COP Congr ess- man Robert Rich who rises during almost every House appropria- tions decate to chant, where are we going to get the money?' ! Last week Rich publicly warn- ed he would demand a complete investigation of the REC if it seal ed down some $35 100000 of war time costs owed it by Kaiser for building the Fontana steel plant in California.
 Burned up at Rich's charge Kaiser appeared, uninvited, next day at a meeting of the investi- gating committee of which Rich is a member. Storming into the meeting, Kaiser demanded an im- mediate probe of himself and the REC.
 Not many people ask for Gen. gressional investigations, but Kais- CT did-and got it--thanks to fan minded Chairman Bender of Ohio. THE WHITE-HAIRED STEEL co.
 When it opened, Kaiser asked chief critic Rich if he krew how much the Government had lost on war plants built for U. s. Steel.
 No" replied the gentleman from Pennsylvania.
 Well" said Kaiser, "The govern ment lost more than $300,000, ,00O in surplus deals with U. s. Steel and 1 don't hear a lot of Con- gressmen threatening to investi- gate that"
 On the Geneva, Utah, plant" he continued. the Government took loss of more than $l51 ,000 ,000. They sold it to U. s. Steel for ex- actly 20 cents on the dollar. Then you say we at Fontana have to pay up 100 cents on the dollar That means the extra debt burden Fontana pays adds l6 dollars ton to the price of steel we charge our i customers. We don't want to gouge our customers to pay back the REC. The Government wants lower prices, yet the Government forces us to charge high prices. But MT. Kaiser interrupted Virginias Democratic Congress man Porter Hardy, If the Govern ment forgives you these excessive wartime construction costs, won't that mean they'll have to do the same for every other firm that has war-built plant?"
 No, it doesn't" Kaiser replied The only other possible company in the same position is Reynolds Metals"
 Kaiser also pointed out that the Government took a loss of more than s60,00000 on three surplus plants sold to U. s. Steel in Home

SUPREME COURT sANCTITY

Most sacred spot in all Wash ington is the inner sanctum of the Supreme Court. This is where the Justices work out tEair opinions, and no one except the black-robed nine and a few court functionaries enter. Almost equal ly exclusive is the room just out side the Supreme Court conference chamber. Fewer people enter here than the office of the President of the United States.
 One person who never worries about Supreme Court sanctity however, is vivacious Miss "Jojo'' Black, 15-year-old daughter of Justice Hugo Black Like her father, she believes in getting things done.
 Once, during a highly exclu- sive Supreme Court conference, Justice Black got telephone call from his home. Ordinarily calls are not put through to Supreme Court members while they are in conference. But this was impor- tant. Delightful daughter Jojo wanted to tell her daddy that she needed a carpenter to fix her closet door And later, the Jus tice found Jojo sitting outside the conference room. where nobody else sits. waiting for him to tend to her much more important prob lens.
