General Electric lowered prices because wanted to
do part to stop the present spiral of imitation.
General Electric lowered prices on electrical appli-
in greatest demand-because that is where low
cred prices General Electric products will do the
most good and have the greatest effect.
General Electric lowered prices regardless of the fact
that GE profits not high-are not at present levels
high enough
We did this because know that in the long run
General Electric prosper only the people of this
country prosper We believe that producing goods
for people at less cost the soundest way of running
business And feel that imitation in this country has
reached dangerous leve-or the wage Garner for the
man with savings, and for industry alike
Do you know what imitation can do to you?
AS money buys less and less, your savings lose their
buying power Life insurance policies dwindle in value
Money saved to take your wife the hospital won't pay
the bill when the time Pay checks buy less and
less Retirement money won't pay for retirement

This applies to the man who brings home weekly
pay check to the with little savings in the bank
life insurance policy, and to companies that have
to build new plants and buy machines to fill future
needs and provide future jobs.
Initiation a sinister thing 1t steals up a country
and its economy in gradually acceerating two-step
of prices and wageseach trying to get step ahead
of the other-and there red line to show when the
danger point has been reached.
Imitation is like a fire. Once it gets well under way it
can be checked until everything is destroyed.
SeIf-restraint by industries and individuals
the best check
You individual can do most by buying less and
saving morethus avoiding bidding up the prices for
scarce goods. Business and industry do much by
lowering prices whenever and wherever possible
voluntarily.
General Electric put lowered prices ahead of other
things because believe it is a step towards licking
initiation.

Along the Potomac

BY j. Glenn Beall

As I sit down at the end Of each
week to write these dispatches, l try
t. think Of the things that have hap
pened during the week that would in
teres, the people in my Congressional
District
High on that list now is the state
mcnt issued by General Dwight d.
Eisenhower that he could not accept
Presidential nomination if it were
rendered.
Being an admirer of the General
for the tremendously outstanding
Good job he did during the war and
for his personal magnetism, | believe
his value as a patriotic American citi-
zen has been enhanced by his state
ment and that there is every indi-
cation that this heroic war leader
win continue to play great part in
the future destiny Of our country
am not going to give my choice
q this time Of the man whom | be-
lieve would make the finest Republi-
can nominee for President, but
think it would be interesting to look
over the leading contenders.
From now ON until convention time
We will probably see much activity on
the part Of Governor Thomas Z. Dew
cy of New York. Senator Robert A.
Taft of Ohio and former Governor
Harold Z. Stassen of Minnesota. On
the sidelines and almost in the arena
are Governor Earl Warren Of Cali
farnia and our Speaker of the House,
Joseph W Martin. Jr.. Of Massachu-
sets.
Senator Taft's activities will be
Wen puhlicized in his role as a leader
III the United States Senate.
Governor Dewey as Chief EXecu-
tive Of our largest state in point of
population, has perfect sounding
board to allow the people Of the
country to know what he's doing and
thinking.
Former Governor Stassen has an
energetic Young group behind him
besides. he has been travelling around
the country giving his views about
almost every vital subject. His pres
emit conflict with Mr.. Edwin W. Paul
cy over commodity speculation has
made his the vocal point of public in
terest.

IA institutions that provide education far beyond
the realm of reading, writing and 'rthmetic Out
in Los Angeles you'll find school to satisfy any
whim - from astroogy to bartending, from men,

Bertha Stockwell has been running school for
whistling for more than 20 years. Most pupils are
singers, but occasionally traffic cops, Audubon
Society members and Boy Scout leaders enroll,
too. Men sometimes enroll to learn how to call
their dogs. Once timid boy wanted to learn
"wolf" whistle, thinking it would cure his shyness
with girls. Miss Stockwell taught him real
whopper.

feet long, Albert Mentz and william Maher

be a boy or girl9

there's Memory School. Statesmen and politicians
have enrolled to become proficient at remembering
