WASHINGTON.
= = NEEEI.

congressman on both sides of Ca
pitOl Hill are preparing to give
President Truman a demonstration
of constitutional government at
work when he returns from his
winter vacation in the warm Carib-
bean waters.
The determination of Congress to
take matters into it's own hands has
been present for a long time. 1t
was stiffened by a passage in Mr..
Truman's JeffersOn-Jackson Day
speech, when he said:
Conditions are too grave in the
world at this time to put a Con-
gress in control of the purse
strings Of this country, a Congress
which does not and cares not to un-
derstand what the facts are"
congressman of both parties
were quick to point out that MIR.
Truman has ignored one large and
important fact. The Constitution
provides in language nobody can
mistake that CONGRESS shall have
power to raise all revenues for the
Federal Government.
The alternative is to have levied
at the whim of the Executive. Such
power is welded today only by the
rulers of tCtalitarian states.
That is Il far cry from the philo-
sOphy of Jefferson which MIR. Tru-
man said still guides his Admins
tratiOn. JeffersOn's fears of such a
concentration of power in the Ex-
ecutiVe Branch made him a fighter
for State Rights.
When the taxing and spending
power was spelled out in the Con-
stitutiOn as residing in Congress,
no attempt was made to decide
what kind of a Congress it should
be. Power over the public purse
was not qualified by stating that
the Congress must live UP to some
future Chief Executives definition
of the facts"
But the President struck a ten
der spot when he talked toward
facing the facts. One chief criticism
directed by the present Congress
toward the Executive is the Difficult
ty of getting facts from Admins
tratiOn officials. In many cases, no
tably the program for European re-
cOvery, there has been a marked
delay in presenting the facts TO
Congress and public. Other infor-
nation furnished by the Admins
tratiOn was sometimes termed in
complete, inaccurate, or downright
misleading.
So Congress is in a mood to give
dOuble-barreled welcome to Mr..
Truman on his return. One barrel
will take care of a reduction in tax
es. The other will chop the Presi-
dents budget down to a more rea-
sonable size. Congress will exer-
else its constitutional power over
the purse despite Mr.. Truman's
doubts on the subject.

Pro Gridding Called
Easier Than College
AP Newsfeatures

SAN ANTONIO - Professional
football is easier than the college
brand, says Weldon Humble, Rice
line star who played with the
Cleveland Browns of the All-Amer-
ican Conference this past season.
Home for the winter, the 1916
All-American guard plans to play
pro football three more years un-
less something better turns up. He
is considering a coaching career.
He scOffed at stories that pro-
fessiOnal football is rougher than
that played in college.
THE way we play at Cleveland"
he says, "is much easier than at
college. Our Coach. Paul Brown,
uses different teams for Offense and
defense, which means most players
are on the bench at least half of
the game. AS a result, they don't
tire themselves out, aren't so easily
injured"

The only WilI1ie organization I
had found in Philadelphia was a
group Of nyloned stockinged New

glamour Of their candidate, but
knew nothing Of politics and could
exert no influence on the convention.
On the day on which the nOmI-
nation was made, following the
maximum vote both Dewey and
Taft could produce, but without
a needed majority for either as
pirant, the delegates had been
literally shOWered with tele.
grams demanding the nOmina-

600 such wires were delivered
to delegates from every state.

Takes on Wings
For Her Parents
BY JANE EADS

WASHINGTON - A little girls
birthday wish of six years ago has
changed the entire course of her
parents lives.
Margaret Hines got a pair of can
aries on her sixth birthday. She
wanted them to- have a family. She
was disappointed when told they
weren't good breeding birds.
The child's mother, who name is
also Margaret, went out and bought
a pair of Hartz MOutain canaries.
The two pair had 10 babies. Mrs.
Hines, bought more breeders and
raised 1875 Canaries that year.
MRS. HINES, who had studied
poultry raising at the University
Of Maryland, soon turned over the
entire first floor of the Hines 10
room house to the project. Finally
her husband, Frank, opened pet
shop. a.
Mrs. Hines has 1000 birds, an en-
crossing hobby and a radio pro-
gram, newly started on local sta
ton. In addition she has many trO-
plies, medals and ribbons her
birds have won.
Just for fun" she also has raised
about 100 parakeets, COkateils and
love birds. She also has 500 pige-
Ons a cocker, a dalmatian, a white
spitZ and a Boston terrier and a
flying squirrel named "Weegee. ."
The dogs, she says, require more
care than all the birds put together.
Mostly, however, she is cOncen-
trating on the canaries. She has
five different types of show birds,
They can sing, but not pretty" she
says.
Hen song lass is divided into two
types e. the HartZ Mountain and
the American Singer. Singers also
are divided into two classes, roll
ers and choppers. Rollers sing
with their mouths closed eXcpet on
high notes. Choppers sing all the
time with their mouths open. Mrs.
Hines is attempting to breed roll
ers with choppers and says she's
having good luck.
*
MRS. HINES has been breeding
canaries with a smaller bird from
Venezuela, called the BlackhOoded
Siskin. It's body is a brilliant red,
it's head and wings black. The birds
cost 500 apiece "if you can get
them," she says, but they sing, too.
What Mrs. Hines is aiming for is
a red canary.
Don't smile," she warns, 1--WE

lhe employment of most of the people.
TOday the situation is verv different Not
only is there much smaller and narrower on
eratlng-margin cushion than there was in nre-
Vlous DOOms, but the labor and other costs are
much higher. Furthermore owing to the in
crease OF uniOnism during the last fifteen
years. 1t will be much more difficult to reduce
wages. This means that the only recourse en-
ployers will have will be to let people 90
which would result in much greater unem-
ployment than otherwise would be the case
Where wages are practically a fixed charge
smaller falling off in business would cause
employers to reach the break-even line and
losses more quickly than heretofore.
BUSINESS OUTLOOK
Most things now indicate a continued good
business at least through 1948. Most concerns
have backlOgs of orders which, if thew are not
cancelled, should carry the concerns profit
ably for couple of years. The Government
moreover, has so many artificial stimnlants
up it's sleeve that it could keen business good
for several years longer. Somedav. however
prices will be so high that the public will stOD

The Government can prOlong a period of nrOs
perlty, but it cannot finally prevent if from
falling over the brink
Owing to this increase in the braaly-ovo,,
level, when the next bust comes it will come
very suddenly. Instead of employers being

l6y LEO DOTOLO

STONINGTON, Conn. - Folks in
this little fishing village are at a
loss to explain why the United
States Government does not stake
official claim on the Anthracite re-
giOn. They say it was discovered by
a StOningtOn sea captain, Nathaniel
b. Palmer Of the slOOp Hero in 1921
while on a seal hunting expedition
in the South Shetland Islands.
Chile recently set up two mill
tary bases in the disputed territory
and the British Government, taking
exception to the Chilean claim, has
dispatched cruiser to the area to
"shOw the flag" The second Chile
an claim was made on the penin-
sula know to Chile as O'Higgins
Land and to Great Britain as Gra-
ham Land.
Some aliases refer to this region

That this country should assert it.

is "Old stuff" in this community.
An exploration vessel for a fleet
Of eight ships searching for new
rOOkeries, the Hero under CAPTAIN
Palmer set out from Yankee Har-
Dor in the South Shetlands, jan
uary IA, 1921, in search for still
more seal islands.
After sailing 20 miles, the north
erly extension of the Antarctic
Continent, upon which the volcanic
Mount Hope is located, was found.
The newly discovered land was
very mountainous and desOlate
looking with its heavy load of ice
and snow even in the southern mid
summer. Feasible landing places
were few on that frigid shore pop
ulated only by sea leOpards, gray
and black petrels and white cape
pigeons.
Accounts current here say that
as the Hero was returning north, a
dense fog set in. The Hero was
hove to to await clearing weather.
When the fog lifted, two Russian
war ships appeared, and a party
from the fleet Immediately boarded
the American slOOp. After a short
visit Capt. F. G. Won Bellingshaus-
en-, later the hOnOred Admiral Won
Bellingshausen, asked to see the
ships log and charts. They were
examined in silence. Then the Rus
sian captain arose and exclaimed,

next movement in the employment cycle will
cause many failures and heartbreaks.
LABOR-SAVING MACHINERY
Many readers know that the large utility
companies are now operating at about full
capacity and cannot supply any more power
until their new generators are delivered, two
or more years hence. Feeling that general
business would not be so good at that time I
suggested to these public utility men that
their customers might not need the power
from this new capacity when it is ready for
delivery.
To this they replied: I'm order to Offset the
attitude of labor leaders, the large manufac-
turers have now orders in for abOr-saving
devices which will not be delivered for wear
or two. These labOr-saving devices will re-
quire more electric power than ever before"
Employers are troubled both by the increased
wage rates and by the showdown processes nv
which many wage workers are not delivering
the goods which they used to-
WARNING TO LABOR UNION LEADERS
The above means that the employment situ
alton may be very bad when the next bust
comes unless labor union leaders now turn
over new leaf. If labor is sensible it will
not only cease asking for more wages. but if
will deliver more in production Members of
labor unions should get after their leaders and
insist that something be done to check tbis
present dangerous situation.
