FACTS and FIGURES
BY FULLER WARREN

The postwar edition of this
column commenced firing" one
year ago. Ut had carried on for
two solid years before the war;.
About sixteen of Florida's finest
newspapers have used it off and
on during the past year. So far
as | can learn, no subscriptions
have been cancelled on account
of it.Neither can l claim that any
subscriptions have been taken
out on account of it.
This humble offering has found
favor with publishers from Pen
sacola to Key West. Brother
Jones supplies it to the readers
of his Pensacola Standard, and
Brother Artman serves it up to
his Key West Citizen SubScrib-
ers.
Some papers use this weekly
meal of intellectual pabulum on
a hit-or-miss, take-it or leave-it,
sOmetimeS-in, Sonletimes-out baS-
b. But that excellent editor and
publisher, NJ. J. Lee, serves it as
regular fare in his two fine week
lies, the Haines City Herald and
the Auburndale Journal So far
as | can recall, the good people
of those two fine Polk County
cities have never been denied
this weekly delicacy. You have
got TO admire an editor like
Brother Lee. l commend his pub
fishing practices to other editors.
Mrs. Anyce Smith and her pre-
decessor, Mrs. George GoolSby,
publishers of the Florida Advo-
cate at Wauchula, have run
Brother Lee a close second in
regularly using this column.
don't think the Advocate has
aroused its readers wrath more
than two or three times by leav-
ing this column out.

ton County News publishes this

mend his excellent example to
other enterprising editors.
Earl also has another habit
that very much appeals to me
He occasionally publishes this
column on the front page of his
paper. Stanley Pecarek of the
Largo Sentinel also puts it or
the front page of his paper once
in a while. I hope other editor:
will soon catch on and follow
suit.

When Governors Get Together
tNeW York Tines)


 Governors of American States, regardless of party, have much in common All of them familiar with the technique of getting elected to public office, though naturally Democrat doesn't talk to a Re- publican about that. All of them have deal with legislatures All of them just now want to make a reputation for economy at the time spending enough money get what their constituencies think are necessary things done Consequently all of them are interested in taxes and recently this was the sub ject the thirty annual session of the Conference of Governors took up at Salt Lake City Some of the Governors stronger than others about States rights, but practically all of them would like to have the Federal Government leave the States few things to tax. They would like to have the Federal Gov ernment take the that most visible and hurt most and let the States play with that less visible and less painful.
 It is good to the Governors working on public problems in comparatively brotherly harmony. Some of remember back to the first conference which was called by President Theodore Roosevelt in 1908 to discuss conservation and greeted with general acclaim. Subsequent conferences were less inspiring and less well attended. This year, with forty-four State Executives in attendance, the institution is ap parently the upgrade again. Naturally politics creep in try the Governors may to keep it out One does not suppose that all the Governors want to trouble enough already But if banana peel were dropped the conference floor there is at least gambling chance that future Presidential can didate would step it. This fact adds interest too and quite legitimately.

NEEDING THEM OUT

According to a report issued by the House CIVIL Service Committed at least 223 Federal workers have been fired and possibly more than 1000 more forced out or fired on disoyalty charges.
 Some additional were forced to resign and good many more applicants for jobs were turned down as being under suspicion of disloyalty.
 The frings took place in six departments: War, Navy Agriculture, Commerce, Labor and Veterans Administration Thirty agencies reported no dis loyalty but l3 other departments failed to meet the deadline for reporting.
 The survey is seen as an answer to critics who have charged that Administration has fired only a very few employees subversive charges since the President issued Federal worker loyalty plan, and warning to subversive characters still the payroll

Senator Brewster, charged by Howard Hughes with trying to "blackmail" him into an amalga- nation between Pan American Airways and Trans World Airlines, made some significant remarks at closed meeting of the Senate Interstate Commerce Committee last January. It looked as if he were gunning for VIVA even then. Brewster reported that IVA was in shaky financial status and hav- ing trouble with Equitable Life Insurance Company from which it had borrowed S40,000,000. Brew ster told Senators how Howard Hughes had invested another $10,- coo ,0OO in IVA, thus offering tenn porary financial relief, despite which VIVA probably would still require another REC loan of $50,- 100000.

Too Little and Too Late
Cincinnati Enquirer

tCmclnnat EnQurer)
 Tardly, President Truman has discovered that the mine wage settlement is desperately serious inflationary factor It is not only resulting in very large boosts in coal prices but is certain to similar inflatonary influence steel prices. Ulti- mately. it will leave its mark the prices of many other commodities, including electric power and transportation costs. And. on top of all this, the established pattern of wage increases for industry in general.
 Unable to act effectively to prevent the miners wage boost the President and Congressional leaders have the futility of the Taft Hartley Act in such situations. And they also have the fear of recession give place to dangers of runaway nfla tion. The Presidents only response to these dangers is to plead with coal and steel producers to postpone price increases long possible and give the mine wage advances fair test"
 For Mir Truman, that is good politics Every consumer of coal steel will welcome any delay in price advances But for the coal and steel people it is not good economies They have sellers market today. They push up prices now and get away with it. Delaying, they might find it somewhat harder to shove prices upward to the greatly increased cost of mining coal
 The plain fact is that without wartime emergency powers the President powerless to stay the normal forces of economies Once highly inflationary wage increase is given 100000 miners there is way, short of dicatorial power to prevent the imitation of prices from growing and spreading. MT. Truman is closing the barn door after the horse is stolen. And that gesture will not deceive anybody.

ANOTHER CRACKPOT

A New York psychologist who spent year at Matanuska and Anchorage returned to the States the other day to give general report attacking all of Alaska for juvenile delinquency This is another case in which person spend a year in one Alaskan community and become authority on all of Alaska.
 While the Anchorage situation is probably bad Alaskas critic probably picked the worst example in the Territory
 Juneau's young people certainly no great problem to this community, and the same goes Tor many other Alaskan towns, where juvenile delinquency is far below the average in the States.

have to wait until building costs went down. himoSt in the same breath, however, county officials announced to the assembled citi- zenry that the road which passes in front of the school would fin ally be made over new. This brought loud cheers from every one.
 However. the cost of the new road is going to be Sl30,00o; and for one-half that amount new addition to the school house could be built. And although costs are high for building a school, they are equally high for laying a road.
 Now some readers of this col umn in Seattle or San Diego may wonder why I am boring them with a local problem in the dis tant state of Maryland, How ever. the problem isn't local. From what I gather it exists every where. Schools throughout the na- ton are overcrowded, underman- ned, the teachers underpaid. Thous- ands of communities are going to have to decide whether to build new roads or new schools.
 And while roads are important, what seems to me more important is the fact that childrn's minds cannot wait Roads can You can buy new tires or retread them But you can't retread children's minds. Their characters and men, tality are moulded young. Fol them the clock can never be turn ed back. The mental cobwebs they gather from six to fourteen car never be brushed out.
 Furthermore, this fall will set schools more crowded than ever Seventeen million war babies were born from 1941 through l946, al increase in our birth rate of 5 percent, and the biggest crop 0 children this country has eve seen They will start flooding tn schools this fall
 In the face of this, the commis sioners of my county have cut tn proposed educational budget b s400,000 and plan building a ney road instead of new schools.
 A lot of my neighbors are sor at me for trowning on the neN road But until the schools ar improved, I'm going to put in m two cents worth against it.

those who helped author the World Bank believe this will be the first c,ear-cut case of the Banks open ly injecting itself into dynamite laden situation as an instrument of diplomacy. They point out that the Bank originally was set up by the United Nations and ap- proved by Congress as an instru- ment for reconstruction and re- mobilization, not as a medium Tor backing any one side in a civil war. In the past the Bank, prompted by the State Depart ment, has refused loans on politi- cal grounds to such countries as Poland.
 Unfortunately the Dutch loan will be interpreted throughout the Pacific as evidence that the United States is willing to back imperial ism-which, of course, plays right into Moscows hands.
 NOTE-McCloy is making a de- termined drive to move the World Bank and the Stabilization Fund to Wall Street where it can be nearer the big bankers.
 CAUGHT WITH LOBBYISTS
 How cozy Senator Brewster of Maine, Chairman of the Senate War Probe Committee, is with Pan American Airways, was illus tated in some interesting back stage byplay the other day.
 In a closed-door session of the Committee, Senator Pepper, Florida Democrat, demanded to know where the news leaks were coming from out of the Committee. He said he was astonished that some papers carried full details about Hollywood girls and expense ac- counts even before Senators on the Committee knew about them.
 So a special Committee session was called at D. m. to consider , Pepper knocked on the door of Senator Brewster's private office It was locked. Finally, however he was admitted, Inside sat red faced Senator Brewster, together with Sam Pryor, vice president oi Pan American Airways and its
 chief lobbyist in Washington. to- : gether with Julius Klein, paid publicity agent of Pan American 7 Hastily, Brewster explained that the meeting to investigate news
 leaks had been called off. From all appearances, it looked as il Brewster were engaged in a pri- Q vate prote of news leaks witt y the two Pan American lobbyists.

Care Must Be Used
In Handling
Animal Vdccines

With the arrival of the fall
season for vaccination of live
stock and poultry, American
farmers were warned today
that a loaded vaccination sy-
fringe is a deadly weapon and
should be respected as such.
I'm the hands of skilled vet
erinarian," the American
Foundation for Animal Health
declared, "vaccines can save the
lives of valuable livestock by
preventing outbreaks of dis
eSaSe.
I'm the hands of an unskill-
ed person, however, they may
actually cause losses of ami
mals-losses that would be es-
pecially costly under today's
meat price and supply condi-
AS an example, the American
Foundation declared a fraction
al drop of virus from a syringe
might be enough to start a dis
astrous outbreak of disease.
Moreover, the statement ad-
ded, failure to sterilize syringes
properly after each use might
transmit such serious livestock
plaques as hog cholera, ana
plasmosis, anthrax, gas gan
creme, swamp fever, or others.
Proper vaccination" the
livestock health organization
requires a thorough
knowledge of diseases and vac
cines; careful determination of
when and whether to vaccin-
ate, and what kind of vaccine
to use; sterilization of syringes
with the ~roper agents; and
thorough experience in hand
ling the necessary materials
and Instruments"
