THE vigor Of the department Of

man Parnen Thomas, the chairman
Of the committee on un-American
activities, is a dramatic reproach to
the same bureau when we consider
the attorney generals iron apathy
toward the traitorous conspiratOrs
exposed by the Thomas committee.

Anthem Argument

''The Star Spangled Banner" was
born amidst the stress and storm
of war when America was defend
ing her shores against a foreign
foe. It was written aboard an Eng
lish frigate where the author, Fran
els Scott Key, was a prisoner Of
war.
Its rhythm and its sentiment
inspire a patriotic fervOr. It ex-
presses our will to survive as a
nation.
''God Bless America" was born
in the luxuriously appointed New
York City home Of its author, Irving
Berlin. It is a beautiful song, and
one the American people will not
soon forget or neglect, but it is not
so expressive Of the spirit Of the
American people as is ''The Star
Spangled Banner"
A Californian has proposed that
the Irving Berlin song be substitut-
ed for 1.-The Star Spangled Banner"
as our national anthem and has
stirred up a riot Of argument. AS
would be expected the mo" vote
is very much in the majority. To
us 1.-The Star Spangled Banner"
represents The Fourth of July.
Justus Craemer, a member Of the
California utility commission, OBJ
jects to the term "excess profits
tax' as being unfair to business.
Should it be necessary to re-enact
such a tax, he proposes it be desig-
mated as ian emergency business
tax" The one would indicate busi-
ness was making an excessive profit
and paying to stockholders unrea-
sonable returns on their investment.
The other that. during an emergen-
cy, business was contributing addi-
tional taxes for the general good.
The proposal sounds reasonable.

TINE FOR COOPERATION

NeWsWeek recently published an article
on electric power, in which it touched on
the controversy between advocates of public
development and the supporters of private
enterprise In this regard, it said "The gov
ernment must work with, rather than
against, the private companies to maintain
healthy industry. In the past, Federal Off
cials have intimidated the privately operated
utilities, stunting their expansion in a num-
Der OF regions. In planning and administer
ing its projects, the government must take
care to let private business know just where
it stands and to cooperate with it in power
distribution and otherwise
That is a very moderate statement of the
case. SOcialized power has been. urged with
a fanatical determination which has totally
overlooked the enormous cost to the taxpay-
erS, which has led, in some instances, to
WaSteful and unnecessary duplication of eX-
listing facilities; which has attempted to hide
the fact that free enterprise built the Amer
lean power industry and still supplies most
of our electricity, and which has disregarded
the remarkable job done by the private util-
tiles in meeting demand, and thus prevent
ing anything like a serious power shortage
We will need vast increases in our power
supply in the future. And let no one believe
that only the government is capable of hand
ling it. The private industry has the greatest
expansion program in its history in full
swing now. By 1857, it's capacity will be
increased by 80 per cent The public trea-
Suries will not contribute a penny of the cost
but will, instead, get heavy new tax reve-
nues from the plants and other properties
which are being built. In the light of all this,
NeWSWeekS suggestion that government
must cooperate with the industry is just plain
common sense.

Considering the large output of cars which

SECONDHAND MARKET
Certainly the used-car market is going to
smash. If you have doubts ask any dealer
what he will pay you in cash for your old car
In many cases you will find this to be only half
what you would have had to pay for the same
secondhand car six months ago, while since
November 2, 1948, you cannot get a bid for
your secondhand trucks.
I do not blame the dealers. Thev had a
terrible time during the war and have been
entitled to two years of good business. 1t
seems shame that they must give to Uncle
Sam so much of it in taxes. So many specu-
lative buyers, however, placed orders with
several different dealers that the new car
market is also messed up. These and other
facts will soon be brought out at public hear
lngs IN Washington together with accounts of
the trade-in hOld-ups and black market trans
actions.

HAVE You THOUGHT This?

There's law requiring that any danger
GUS ingredients in foods and drugs be printed
on the label, but unfortunately there is no
such law covering ideas.
Millions are being led into enslavement
because all they can see is a label which looks
pretty to them-a name which sounds ap-
pealing.
Let's see how these labeIs3wOuld read if
the truth were required:
Communism Work to avoid starvation
or face firing Misunderstanding work in
return for the security" of being kept alive.
The result is Slave labor campsLa perman-
emily low standard of living-dictators who
rule by fear.
SOcialism:-NO incentive because no one
can progress; workers and industrXrdepend-
ent on pOliticians-slOW and inefficient work
because there are not enough tooIs-because
there is no one to save capital to create them.
The result is low production, low standard of
living.
Americanism: Good wages because of
good tOOls-the right to select the work you
do best, to earn and enjoy leisure efficient
work, high production because of constantly
better tools. The result is the worlds high
est standard of living; the worlds highest
standard of freedom and decency. -~
All OF which shows it pays to find out
what's behind the label. Otherwise you may
be taking-nOt cure, but a poison.

Truman Pays Surprise Visit
To Arkansas State Society

President Truman paid q surprise
visit to an Arkansas State Society
reception yesterday and told the
guests he had been trying to get
people east Of the Appalachians to
realize that the center Of the United
States was in the old Louisiana Ter
ritory.
Standing ut the table Of the Sen
ate caucus room, he recalled in jovial
mood that he used to sit at 1t and
hold hearings while chairman Of
the Senate War Investigations Com
mittee. He said he felt now he was
not coming back to investigate but
70 meet neighbors and friends, since
Arkansas lay Immediately south of
Missouri and both States were
carved out Of the Louisiana Pur-
chase. That territory, he said, now
was going all out in the welfare Of
the Nation.
The President recalled his days at
Camp Robinson and the Army and
Navy General Hospital at Hot
Springs, and with a broad smile re-
minded former Senator Hattie Car
away, who was present, that in one
Of her campaigns he offered to do
her q service but she declined. He
did not elaborate.
He remarked that Arkansas had
been 100 per cent In the Democratic
column in the late unpleasantness,
but that 1t had not been 80 un.

pleasant for him because It came
out all right.
The Democratic Party won't dis
appoint you-it is going to continue
to be party Of the people and for
the people" the President said.
The President was introduced by
Sidney s. McMath, the States
Governor -elect. for whom the re-
ception was scheduled. Previously
three native Arkansans, Secretary
of the Treasury Snyder, John r.
Steelman, assistant to the Presi-
dent, and Leslie Bifie, the director
Of the Senate Democratic Policy
Committee, had been introduced by
A. B. Bonds, jr., society president.
They had voiced brief regrets that
they could not stay throughout the
reception because they had an ap-
pointment in another Federal build
ing, but would return. When they
did. they had the beaming President
in tow.
The society also saw a techni-
color motion picture of Arkansas
industrial and agricultural progress
and received a presentation of a
Navy picture Of the U. s. s. Arkan-
sas, veteran battleship sunk by the
atomic bomb blast at Bikini Lagoon.

COLLEGE STUDENTS
hit BARBER SHOP
JIM CROW

STATE COLLEGE, PA. - The
assistance Of student and civic
groups here has been sought by
irate students at Pennsylvania
State college in their battle
against Jim Crow in this city.
This action is a foIlow-up Of a
mass picketing demonstration last
week against six barber shops
which had refused haircuts to Ne
groes.
Approximately 500 students
gathered last Saturday at a rally
called by the college chapter of
the NAACP to hear addresses by
student leaders, several faculty
members, and Miss Marion o.
Bond, NAACP field secretary, and
to parade through the streets car
rying placards and chanting Jim
Crow must CO." The demonstra-
ton illuminated in a 15-minute
radio program presented by STU
dent members of the NAACP over
local radio station WMAJ.
In q letter to Rep. Homer s.
Brown Of the Pennsylvania state
legislature, Mrs. Ruby Hurley,
NAACP youth secretary, point
cd out that legal redress against
this type Of discrimination is
not possible at the present time
because the Pennsylvania Civil
Rights Statute does not specifi-
cally include barber shops with
In its provisions.
Mrs. Hurley requested that an
amendment to make barber shops
subject to the penal provisions of
the law be introduced at the next
session Of the State Legislature.
