sales in l948 should at least equal
l047.
20. The unit value Of retail sales
will be less in 1948 than in l94f;
there will be fewer customer pur-
chases in most stores, although eacn
customer may visit more stores 70
SHOP around"
Foreign Trade
81. Our foreign trade will be less
in 1948 than in 1947. We shall help
Europe; but it will be on more &C.
onomical and efficient scale.
%. More foreign loans will be
made during 1948; but many Of these
will be direct to business concerns
rather than to political governments.
%. There will be considerable
competition from other countries in
legitimate foreign trade where the
credit is good. Other countries will
not compete with us in our "chari-
ties;" but they certainly will COM
pete for all profitable business.
"a. Throughout 1948 war talk and
uprisings will continue; but no World
War III will start in 1948. WAR
PREPARATIONS WILL ACCELER-
ATE.
Labor Outlook
Is. 1948 will see an average wage
rise of to per cent. Lower income
taxes should increase buying power,
but this will be about offset by fur
ther rises in the cost of living.
26. There need be no more unem-
ployment in 1948 than in 1947, but
Unemployment Insurance" will be
taken advantage of by too many un-
principled people.
q. Wageworkers will gradually
see that the Taft-Hartley Bill puts a
checkrein only on their labor leaders,
but not on labor membership. Hence,
the bitter hatred against this bill
will gradually subside. The bill is
merely an "SEC" for labor leaders
who need it today as much as invest
ment bankers needed the SEC which
was started ten years ago,
28. Any labor Legislation during
1948 will be to amend the Taft
Hartley Bill and to raise minimum
wages.
Infldtion
30. The Initiation Era which we
have forecast for several years will
remain at this stage until November
2, 1948. There will be no reckless
printing of currency Or government
in 1948.
80. 1948 will see public reaction
against feather bedding" work
less" jobs, and union rules will re-
suit in slow-ups. More labor-saving
machinery will be installed. The
public is gradually realizing that in
flation can be beaten only by in
creased production.
81. Sometime during l948 product
ION in many lines will have caught
up with consumption which will
prevent further price increases in
such lines.
80. There will be many initiation
and price investigations during 1948.

sional men every day, in widely
varying walks Of life, who tell me
that they are sustained by this be-
lief. During the recent war, men
lived in this basic relief. In these

belief in Jesus as the Son Of God
is the norm. We cannot face these
difficult days without this anchor.
And all this quarter we shall be
studying, Sunday after Sunday,
this great truth and those that

What a privilege to teach this
great truth! The Sunday school
teachers Of our country are the
most important single group we
have. BY their voluntary service,
they are pointing our people to the
one sure road that leads to the City
of God. My prayer is that they shall
daily seek to qualify under the for
mula of l Timothy 4:l6. "Take heed

continue in them; for in doing this
thou shalt both save thyself, and

during 1948.
In reporting the progress which.
has been made in this program to
improve the quality of Delaware
dairy herds through a breeding
program based on the use of out
standing herd sires, Young states
that at present over $50 dairymen
owning approximately 5000 cows
are members of the cooperative.
The artificial dairy breeding pro-
gram was started in Delaware in
January, 1942 in New Castle COun-
ty. Following the organization of
the unit in Kent County, the dairy
men Of the two upper counties
formed a state cooperative assoc
iatiOn. This state cooperative has
developed a bull stud at the Stroud
Farm Barn at the Delaware Agri-
cultural Experiment Station at
Newark.
Along with the growth of COOP
erative breeding of dairy cattle by
artificial dissemination in Delaware
has been a similar growth of the
idea throughout the country until
breeding service to outstanding
sires is available in all of the main
dairy areas.

Walker Wins
While Losing
AP Newsfeatures

FORT WORTH, Tex. - Take it
from Harold Kilman, who plays a
hefty stackle for Texas Christian
University, Doak Walker, Southern
Methodist's All-America, is great
because he's always winning-even
when he's behind in the score.
Kilman met Walker frequently
here Nov. 20 when Southern Meth
odist played Texas Christian to a
1913 tie in the greatest game of the
year in the Southwest Conference.
A former Golden Gloves boxing
champion, Kilman says he made a
habit of studying the expressions
on the faces of his ring opponents.
Il could always tell by a boxers
expression when he was licked !"
says the TCU tackle. II watched
Walkers face throughout the game.
Fle always looked like he was win
ming there never seemed to be anv
doubt in his mind about the out
come.
After we scored our first touch
down, didn't expect him to appear
dOwncast. But after we had 'em 12-
0, / was surprised to find him lust
as confident as ever.
When we went ahead, 1913. I
passed DOak as we were going back
up the field to get set for the next
KICKOFF. / asked him Now, what are
you going to do, DOak? He replied.
We're going to score again.
Walker carried the kickoff back
to the Texas Christian S6-yard line
but two Southern Methodist passes
failed. Il asked him the same oues-
tion again" said Kilman and he told
me: We're going to score a touch
down on the next play"
The next play was one on which
Walker took a pass and fought bis
way to the Texas Christian nine
yard line. Then a pass to Sid HaIli-
day brought the touchdown that
tied the score with only 20 seconds
to go.

other comment:
Senator Mcfarland (D-Ariz): "I
think he will be surprised at how
few followers he has. He won't get
anywhere, and I doubt whether he
will carry single state"
Good Riddance'
Representative Hendricks Cd
Fla) Good riddance. Mr.. Wallace
is now a renegade Republican and
Democrat 1t will help the Demo-
cratic Party to be rid of him and
his followers"
Representative Hoffman (R-
Mich: Its a wonderfully fine
thing. Now maybe he will get all
the crackpOts on one ticket"
In New York, the Socialist Party
said in a statement that it would
oppose COmmunist-backed Henry
Wallace in the 1948 Presidential
campaign just as strongly as it will
oppose Democratic nominee Harry
Truman and Senator Taft, or any
other Republican nominee"
I'VE fight Wallace because So
cialists are against tOtalitarianism
as we'll as private capitalism"
At Denver, James G. Patton,
president of the National Farmers
Union said that undoubtedly many
members of the National Farmers
Union will support Henry Wallace
for President" but the union will
take no stand on his candidacy.
Joseph N. Pew, prominent Re-
publican leader, and official of the
Sun Oil Company, laughed when
informed Wallace would seek the
Presidency.
Il don't think it will leave a rip
pie" Pew added when asked if the
Wallace vote would affect Demo-
cratic or G. o. P. chances.
Backed By Daily Worker
The New York Daily Worker,
official organ of the Communist
Party, had this to say:
Every honest American must
know that the Truman Democra-
tic Party and the Taft-Dewey G.. o.
p. are at bottom a single party,
united on the same platform of re-
action, prOfteering and war.
'Wallace's declaration should be
studied for what it is-a historic
challenge to a vast and sinister
conspiracy against the true inter
ests of the United States"
The New Republic magazine, in
announcing that Wallace had re-
signed as editor, said he will be-
come a contributing editor of the
publication and will write a weekly
page for the publication.
Michael Straight, now publisher,
will take over the editOrship of the
magazine, and Daniel Mebane,
treasurer, will become publisher,
it was announced.
Wallace's resignation followed
by a day that of William Harlan
Hale, the magazines editor in
charge of articles, and came amid
reports of dissension on the staff
over plans to continue carrying the
former Cabinet members articles
if he announced his Presidential
candidacy.

rope and Germany because

and the end result will be the same
confusion, depression, and war. ."
Says 'Real Peace Needed
Wallace said the United States
would not be fully secure until
there is a real peace" between this
nation and Russia and until there
is an international police force
stronger than any country's mill
tary force.
Speaking Of tagging people as
Russian TOOLS" Wallace slapped at
"name-calling," declared, 1--WE are
not for Russia and we are not for
Communism" and then added:
"But we recognize Hitlerite
methods when we see them in our
own land"
He declared:
1.-TWO years ago / denounced
those who we're talking up World
War III as criminals. OF course,
the bulk of our people are not Grim
inals but it is possible for a little
handful of war-mongers to stam-
pede them.
"The rich monOpolists have al
ways been more ready to sacrifice
their sons than their money but
now they have reached the point
where they are willing to sacrifice
both for the sake of world con-
troll"
Landed By Taylor
Senator Taylor in announcing
that he is considering becoming
candidate for Vice President on the
ticket with Wallace, called the
Iowan "a very courageous man, Z"
and told reporters that the former
Vice President will be called a
Russian sympathizer and a fifth
cOlumnist but he certainly is
fighting the good fight"
Senator Edwin G. Johnson Cd
COlo) said that while he expects
Wallace's entry to influence the
Republicans choice of a Presiden-
tial nominee, he doesn't believe the
former Cabinet members strength
will be such as to. affect the out
come in even such critical states
as New York and California.
Differing sharply with Johnson
on this point, Senator Knowland
(R-Calif) said Wallace's race "will
have a considerable adverse effect
on the Democratic Party not only
in California but also in New York,
Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan and
possibly one or two other states. 3"
Even though Mr.. Wallace runs
poor third, it will deeply cut into
Democratic support and so be a
considerable factor in the 194S
race" the Californian said.
Seen As Weak Third
Senator Capper (R-Kan) pre-
dicted Wallace will be "a weak
third man in the race" adding:
HE hasn't got any great follow
ing in the country at least the part
of the country that I come from.
He won't get very far in Kansas"
Senator McCarran (D-Nev) said
Wallace 'gOes into this knowing
full we'll he has no chance what
soever except perhaps to vent his
spleen against President Truman. :"
He added:
His candidacy will form a rest
ing place for the votes of all Com
munistically inclined people. Aside
from that, I think there is nothing
to worry about"
Representative Charles A. Hal
leck (R-Ind), House majority lead
er, said at his home in Rensselaer,,
Ind, I'VE might as we'll find out
just how much strength Wallace
has. His candidacy will help to
clarity the atmosphere"

Unit to Meet Tomorrow.
While this argument was going
on, House committeeman on home
rule mapped plans for perfecting
the pending Auchincloss-Ball bill.
The subcommittee is to meet to-
morrow at o'cleck to chart It's
procedure. A sub subcommittee
probably will be named to draft
proposed changes in the pending
bill.
Despite all the attacks on the
bill as now drafted, sponsors have
indicated no loss of heart, and are
planning a perfected measure for
which they will fight.
There have been reports that
the present bill never would get
out of the House District Com
mittee, but these have been
shaken off regularly by Chair
man Auchincloss.
The Home Rule Subcommittee is
expected to give some ground on its
original draft, mostly in detail
rather than in principal.
Judging from issues raised at
recent public hearings, it will con-
slider proposals:
l. Attaching new restraints in the
city council as to bonded indebted
ness or even on one-year borrowings
to meet chages arising before tax
receipts are in hand. -.-,...-.f.&-.
2. To require District domicile for
all persons running for District cleo
tive Offices, while still permitting
those residing here for : a year to
vote in city elections though they
maintain domicile in one Of the
States.
8. To amend, strengthen or modify
the proposed formula for measuring
the size of, the Federal payment to
the National capital.
4. To keep in the elected Board
of Public Education. rather than in
its appointed superintendent of
schools, the broad administrative
powers over the school and library
system. This probably will be
adopted.
S. Whether to leave the Library
Board as a separate department,
answerable to the city manager, or
to merge its operation with the
elected Board of Public Education.
There is division of thought on
this.
Many Other Issues.
