On the Other Hand

nicipal News, I'VE will continue to be
faced with major problems in city

The Mayors publication could
have added that we will continue to
be faced with major problems in
national government-including the
problem of communism.
Basic Conditions May Remain.
But the Republican House leader
ship cannot see this any more than
it can see the relation between
health and communism and the re-
lation between education and COM
munism. They cannot see that a
nation enjoying good housing, good
health and good education will al
ways be immune to any political
blight such as communism. This
certainly will be true if the popula-
ton is also well-fed and we'll
clothed and able to pay its bills.
1t could be added that a nation
enjoying this reasonable degree of
well-being-perfectly reasonable in
a nation with a 200 billion dollar
national income-Would be able to
take care of any threat from abroad
as we'll as at home.

French Premier Asks
Emergency Powers
BY the Associated Press

PARIS, Aug. 7.-Andre Marie's
new government yesterday sought
emergency powers from the National
Assembly to cope with Frances
financial problems.
Coupled with an economic reform
bill presented to the Finance Com
mittee of the Assembly was the
admission that to all practical
effects France is broke.
The measure Is politically explo-
sive and the chances are that
Premier Marie may be forced to
demand a vote of confidence in his
10-day-old government before As
sembly debate is concluded.
The bill proposed in general
terms:
1. Reductions in Frances sprawl
ing bureaucracy, civil as well as
military.
2. Tax reform, including possible
increases in levies on business.
3. Reorganization of many ma
tionalized and seminationalizes
agencies and industries, such as
the railroads, banks, automobiles
and airplane factories.
4. Authority for the government
to order its reforms by decree with
out specific legislative action.

Democratic Contest
For Senate Features
kentucky Vote Today

LOUISVILLE, KY, Aug. Ken
tuckians vote in party primaries to-
day to choose Democratic and Re-
publican nominees for United States
Senator.
These were the only State wide

and will close at pm.
A three-way contest for the DEM
ocratic senatorial nomination drew
top interest. Seeking this nomina-
ton are two veteran campaigners
and young commemorative attor-
ney in his first Statewide race.
The candidates: Representative
Virgil Chapman Of Paris, who has 20
years congressional service: former
Representative John Young Brown,
Lexington, the party's senatorial
nominee in 1916, and Milton Whit
worth, Elizabethtown, president of

Chapman Opposed by Labor.
The Brown Chapman competition
provides a test between Gov. Earle
c. Clements State administration
and organized labor. Gov. Clements
Endorsed Mr.. Chapman. Labor
leaders backed Mr.. Brown and criti-
cized Mr.. Chapman's vote for the
Taft-Hartley labor law.
Mr.. Whitworth said his campaign
chiefly was an appeal to youth
war veterans and young Demo-
crats"-conducted on "a shoestring-l
an united shoestring."
Mr.. Brown and Washington Col
umnist Drew Pearson accused Mr..
Chapman of not filing and paying
Federal income taxes from 1925 to
1910. But Mr.. Chapman denied this
charge and said the accusations
were intended only to injure him
politically.
Cooper Expected to Win.
The Republican incumbent. Sen
ator John Sherman Cooper, Somer-
set, who beat Mr.. Brown in 1916, Is
opposed by Silas A. Sullivan, vet

portance. But matters like poten-
tial production, food reserves, and
economic charts of all kinds are
of the highest Importance to any
potential enemy of the United
States.
The Soviet government and its
satellites punish this kind of es-
pionage with death. The curtain
of secrecy is tightly drawn on all
economic phases in the countries of
the Soviet bloc. Our intelligence
services also know that spies in the
service of the U. S. S. r. pay far
more attention to such facts than
to the training and equipment of
our armed forces.
Laws Drawn Before Tsms.'
Our espionage laws were drawn at
a time when "ismS" were not ram
pant in the world. Today, how
ever, some Americans-native-bo born
and naturalized-are imbued with
the idea that our way of life and
our institutions are outmoded and
no longer in keeping with the
march of progress. BY serving COM
munism these persons believe that
they are serving the cause Of the
future of the United States.
A jury would return unhesita-
tingly verdict of murder against
man who killed his mother and
pleaded that she was getting old
and ugly and he had merely tried
to improve her appearance and
mental condition by some daring
operation.
Our laws are clear on such a
matter. But there is no law enab-
ling jury to return a verdict
against a person who, for similar
motives, plans to destroy his mother
country by giving away vital infor-
nation or by helping in any other
way power which advocates what
might appear to some as an entirely
new way of life. That is why the
Federal grand jury in New York
could indict only well-known party
card Communists and had to ignore
others.
Congressional committees are
powerless to punish such individuals.
All they are able to do is bring
to public attention situation which
they know endangers the country's
security at a time when the inter-
national situation is highly danger
GUS. These committees must work
mostly in the dark because the
wealth of information about hun
dreds of Communists and pro-Com-
munists is kept secret from them
and from the country.
The statements of the voluntary
witnesses who are not under Gov
eminent control cannot be easily
verified, although the files of our
services are known to
be packed with facts and data which
if released would create an unprece-
dented sensation. This might be
bad for the elections, but it would
strengthen the national defense.

ceiving back from the areas only 6
per cent of the revenue provided
by the property tax. Blight is not
only an eyesore, but terrible drain
on a city. And in hundreds OF

spreading unchecked every year.
The quotation is from the United
States Municipal News, published
by the United States Conference OF
Mayors.
Information Had It's Effect.
This information and much more
of the same kind was given by the
mayors to the Senate and House
committees considering housing
legislation during the past two
years. It had its effect on the Sen
ate committee and on the Senate.
The Taft Ellender-W Wagner bill,
passed by an overwhelming vote,
contained provisions for slum clear
ance and a broad attack on the
problem presented by the mayors.
But it was these provisions,
more than anything else, that
brought the Senate into conflict with
the House leadership on the subject
of housing legislation. Speaker
Martin, Majority Leader Halleck,
Chairman Wolcott of the Banking
Committee and Chairman Allen OF
the Rules Committee apparently
listened to the active real estate
lobby and not to the Mayors. They
set themselves stolidly against any
Stun clearance and public housing
throughout the regular session and
again in the special session called by
the President.
Meantime, to distract the public,
they encouraged another spectacular
spasm of the House Un-American
Activities Committee, hunt for

the source.

SAN FRANCISCO. - Are you

Society, said DR.. Bortz, president

literally is killing men by making
them retire too early.
For many, the years between so
and 70 are the most useful. Yet
society, he lamented, insists on pin
ming the antique" label on men

1.-The whole system is pernicious,"
said DR.. Bortz.
II am against all present retire
ment programs.
MEN should be retired, not on the
basis Of their chronological age, but
on the basis of their physical and
mental age"
Medical science now is making it
possible for persons to live longer
lives. The present life expectancy
of 68 probably will be increased still
further by new medical advances,

spend their Sunday afternoons walk
ing in the zoo. finally took pity on
the camel.
Josephine, a three-and-one-hah-
year-old member of the opposite
sex, was turned into his pen. She

kept her distance after Punkin took
several love nips at her nose.

Oregon Men Try
To Prove They Are
Better Than Horses

LEBANON, ORE.-The men in
this part of the country keep in.
sisting they are better than horses.
Their trouble is they can't prove
it.
There was Chet Fitzgerald, the
220-pound poolroom strong man.
who told everyone that no horse
could move him in a tug of war
that is, if he were allowed to lie
fiat on the ground and brace mis-
feet against timber.
Everyone got bets down. Chet
took his position and a horse took
the other end of a 100-yard rope.
Chet went flying head over heels
and half the countryside was broke
for days. -
Since then, three other men simi-
larly have been put in their place
by the same horse, Old Baldy Of
Waterloo. Ore.
Now comes Paul Smith, So. Of
Mill City, convinced no horse can
outdo him. His specially is walk
ing. He has challenged any horse
even one from Waterloo-to a
walking contest.
''I can outwalk any horse. A
horse has to stop for grass and wa
ter. I eat as I 60. And I get there
first" he asserted.
Well, they found a horse just
three miles from Waterloo to take
up the challenge. A 10-year-old ex-
cowhorse named Larry.
The match will be conducted over
100-mile course to be determined
later. Smith said he would stick
to walking. but for all he cared
the horse could gallop or even run.
A $500 wager between Smith and
Larry's owner and rider, Jess Moss
Of Lebanon, rests on the outcome.
