 The other day the Brandeis Law yers Society of Philadelphia invit- ed Justice Douglas to speak at their fall meeting and afterwards sent him check for $1O0 to cover trav- el expenses.
 The Justice returned the check, and sent instead a statment of his actual expenses. He had itemized them down to the last penny trainfare. tips. taxi. meals. The total was $l3.75.

Why the Marshall Plan
For EuropeaI: Recovery?
BY ROBERT P. PATTERSON
(Former Secretary of War;

The Committee for the Marshall
Plan to Aid European Recovery
feels that the success of the Euro
pean recovery program will mean
the difference between peace in
world of free nations and war
in world dominated by Dictator
ships.
We believe that the European
Recovery Program is the front
line of American security. In the
past quarter of century we have
learned that vital as is the role of
our military establishments, our
security and freedom depend in
the first instance upon the actions
of other nations and other peo-
Piles. The course which the people
of Western Europe must take in
the next four years is the most
important decision affecting our
national safety which is still open
in the world today.
At the end of the war everyone
believed that enduring peace and
economic recovery from the war
was most assured by political set
Element and economic problems
which were firmly founded on
agreement between the great
powers. The United Nations,
would, it was planned, go forward
from this start on the basis of
principle and organization which
would bring to the settlement of
international questions the con-
science of mankind and the JUS
tice of laws and procedures which
dealt equally with the strong and
the weak.
Sincesthat period of high hopes
and particularly in the past year,
there has been a worsening of
conditions, politically and eco
nomically, in western Europe. To-
day we face crisis and a choice
whether to let conditions there
degenerate into chaos or to take
bold steps to help restore the bal
ance in favor of democracy. We
propose to do this in cooperation
with Europe and within the spirit
of the United Nations.
We now have plan, the Euro
pean Recovery Program, to en-
able sixteen nations of Western
Europe again to become self-sup-
porting. The basis of this program
is not relief but full long-range
recovery.
This program recommends that
for fifteen months, April l, 1913,
to June 30, 1949, the United States
government provide $6.8 billion
for recovery among the sixteen

GOOD CAMERAS SELDOM WEAR OUT
by T. T. Holden.

Frequently people write us that
they have found an old camera in
their home and wonder II II is still

with a cameras usefulness. Good

the cameras Matthew Brady used to
take pictures Of the Civil War. Like

membered what he and others had
said two years ago last fall. Snyder,
at that time reconversion director,
had predicted that by the spring of
the next year Q946) eight million
people would be unemployed. In
fact, so many others believed that
that Henry Wallace, already dream
ing of home with white pillars on
Pennsylvania avenue, decided to
make Sixty Million Jobs" a come
hither plank in his platform. He
wrote a book with that title and it
became best seller. His book set a
goal of 56.500,0OO to $500, 600 civil
ians employed by 1850.
But somebody must have
stolen the idea or else they
wanted to play a mean trick on
Wallace-and on Snyder-any-
how there were 57,I49,O0O per-
sons employed in this country as
of January, 1915 two years
early, and 10 months before
presidential campaign time.
Likewise, in October of 1916, sew
eral astute Washington inside-stuff
letter writers were saying privately
to their thousands of clients, and the
AFL monthly survey was saying in
public print, that by early 1947
prices would come down. One could
say on January of -l947. with con-
siderable accuracy, that there was
a general agreement on recession
beginning soon and followed by
more little later.
Other writers predicted 1t a little
later, and some, by summer, were
insisting that dehation already was
here.
But what happened? In the
very year Of that doleful prOph-
ecy, prices started on the up
shoot that took them into their
aIl-time high.
Many other similar bad guesscs
might be mentioned, all of which
contributed toward making the
prophets reticent, and so when the
slide came in February Of this year,
nobody would even whisper fox
for fear that not even a kit would
appear. They knew that nobody
would believe them after all the

Our peak level of production is
only possible because we have ac-D

But those elections came and went,

Later on, animosity against the
law died down. But now both the
CLIO and ALL have announced their
preliminary plans for campaigning
against the men who voted for it;
Taft has used it in his campaign
speeches in Midwest centers where
labor is strong; Philip Murray was
indicted under its provisions, and
both Murray, representing the CLIO,
and the International Typographers
union have charged it is unconstitu-
tional. But the issue still fails to
command any real dramatic in
terest.
This is another proof Of how a
controversial issue that calls
forth bitter debate and stirs up
nationwide interest at the mo-
ment, can fade into the back
ground as time passes, and by
election day have little or no
effect on votes.
1t is much like fire that makes

Senator Taft himself admitted
that the clause under which Murray
was indicted requires Qualification
whether union-financed newspa-
pers can support political candi-
dates). Attorney General Clark said
it brought up a delicate constitu-
tional question. Clark added he was
simply trying to enforce the law as
written when he prepared prosecu-
tionS.
This statute can present a
problem in the accommodation
of the constitutional power of
congress to regulate federal
elections with the constitutional
freedoms of speech and press"
Clark pointed out.
Background of the case was Muir.
rays authorization of the publica-
ton in a CIO-fnanced paper of an
endorsement of a candidate for con-
gress. He did it on purpose as test
case. Murray said that if strictly
interpreted, that same clause WOULD
prevent a corporation which pub.
fishes a newspaper from taking a
political stand in that newspaper.
The law says that institutions,

Annapolis - Weems r. Duvall,
president of the Anne Arundel
County Board of County Commits
sioners, last week announced that
the Board would investigate con-
ditions at the County Home. The
proposed investigation resulted
from the petition of a delegation
which appeared before the Com
missioners. Members of the dele
cation urged the employment of
practical or trained nurse to ad-
minister to the needs of the pa
tients and certain improvements in
the conditions of the home. They
charged the Board of Trustees
with failure to observe and make
necessary changes.

, tulS LOO ulSIl. At WOTSL, Lney might
bring on a real depression before
election; at best, they would bring a
series of strikes and work stoppages
which might seriously hamper the
Marshall plan on the one hand, and
add to the discomfort of the voters
on the other. 1t would be like any
operation, not dangerous from the
surgeons point of view. Just little
amputation Of credit, at least so
said doctors who work on the body
economic, which would let enough
blood out of some businesses to
cause little unemployment Enough
to scare off strikes and make bust
nessmen a little more cautious about
expansion.
There was some evidence that
this may really have been intended
because the President did ask in his
November II message to congress
for credit controls and increased
bank reserves. However, when con-
gress said ''humph" to that along
with the Presidents other recon-
mendations, he turned around and
/ denoted the man who is said to
have written the defiation prescrip-
! ton from the craftsmanship of the
federal reserve board Mariner
Eceles), and put in man supposed
to have more sympathy with an OPP
posite course.
However we mustn't spoil a
good story by facts. There are
other points which can be intro
duced to give a touch of verisi-
Multitude to an otherwise not-t0o-
convincing narrative. The s0oth-
sayers say that several methods
were pursued, some of them
successfully. For example, the
President slam-banged at what
he called the gamblers" in
commodities who were driving
up food prices by specializing in
grain and other futures.
That did open a Pandora's box,
and some of the plaques released
alighted on the very rooftree of the
White House. But it also threw a
! scare into the marketeers and the
( markets.
Then came the day of White
House press and radio conference
when the President made remark
credited at the time by some of
his friends as an unhappy slip -
when he said that if the cost of liv-
ing was not controlled, there would
be a crash. That got headlines,
frightened lot of little fellows who
pulled out their chips, and. combin-
ing with other evil Jinns released
from the economists Jim bottles,
did the trick.
There are many others of these
tales which will grow, such as the
creating of sun-spots by the admin
istration's atomic-energy experts.
But one is enough for the moment.
