WHAT is DEWEY'S RECORD ON
INITIATION AND THE HIGH
COST OF LIVING?

A. While price control was under
attack, Dewey, the titular head OF
the Republican party, was silent on
| the need for continued federal price
control legislation, on December IS,
1916, at the governors mansion,
Dewey had a closed door conference
with all the newly elected members
of Congress from New York State.
Senator Ives and Congressman Tabor
were included At this conference
the policies of New York State Con-
gressional representatives were de-
cided. Price control, obviously was
not a necessary public policy. His
recent blank check endorsement of
the accomplishments of the 80th Con-
gress bears this out.
B. About price control, Dewey said:
price control is an attempt to sit
on the thermometer. 1t would stifle
production" When asked in Phila-
delphia recently whether he thought
action should be taken to control con-
sumner prices, he answered fatty no.
C. All of the acts of Governor Dew
ey have shifted the burden of infla
ton to the low income citizen. The
federation of the milk monopoly, the
10c subway fare, the revised insur-
ance rates, the rebates on corporate
and high income taxes, as well as
unemployment insurance funds, have
taken money from the pockets of

York Times comment on Dewey's

mittees, "to keep from doing what
they ought to do" He laughed at the
spy charges and said that the furore
is doing irreparable harm" and "un-
dermining public confidence"
Conviction by Headlines
While agreeing with Truman's
charge that the spy proceedings are
a 'red herring" Wallace charged that
Truman himself must bear RESPONSE
bility along with the COP for "the
whole pattern of terror and fear-mak
ing which has been developing in this
land Of the free since the death of
Franklin Roosevelt" He further
stated:
"The deprivation of due process
of law; the substitution of CON
viction by headlines for judicial
procedure; the destruction of con-
stitutiona guarantees of free peo-
Pile, and the denial of the American
tradition Of fair play by the Thomas
committee are not the work of one
party. They are the products of
both old parties. Facts for Farm

NEW WALL STREET

This old complacency has completely gone.
Wall Street is now definitely scared. 1t is
scared of the U. S. Department of Justice it
is scared of Congress and it is especially
scared OF Russian Bombs. Wall Street really
believes that if there should be a war with
Russia the chances are fifty-ffty that New
York City would be wiped out This means
that their business would be ruined and they
would be lucky not to lose their own lives by
the bombing. The preaching of the Atomic
Bomb by scientists is putting the Fear of
God" into Wall Streeters as the preaching of
Hell-Fire by the churches put religion into
their rural ancestors.
The new Wall Street is beginning to think
about the old Golden Rule It has already lost
talth In armies and battleships; it is not sure
that big air force will save it. Wall Streeters
are beginning to believe that Communism can
be headed off only by making the peoples of
the world healthier, happier and more pros
porous They see that the real fight between
Russia and America will consist of proving
which system will make the people of Wes-
tern Europe and Asia better fed, better cloth
ed and better educated. Instead of longer try
ing TO exploit people, they have at last con-
GUIDED that they had better help people This,
OF course, includes the people of the United
States as well as those of England and of
Western Europe
If Wall Street sticks to this policy it should
lgreatly lessen the boom and bust" history of

work. Another feature of the sec
end day will be a memorial service
for all state volunteer firemen who
have died during the past year.
At the close of the days activi-
ties, the Laurel Fire Department

holder of the lucky number.
Stores and streets of the entire
town will be decorated for the

two days. Thousands of persons are
expected to view the activities,
which at Claymont last year drew

COMMUNISM IN COLLEGES

The Saturday Evening Post recently fea-
tured an impressive editorial, signed by
Frederick Nelson, on the extent to which
this country is being softened up by commu-
mist influences. One paragraph dealt with
the dangers sin current American education,
and said, Another point against the sur
viVal of our democratic system is the state
of mind of an important section of Ameri-
cas- inteligentsia. Young people are
taught that the achievements of successful
men are due solely to social cOnditiOns;' that
there is no law of supply and demand only
the greed of rapaciOus businessmen; and that
the function of taxation is not to raise money
for public purposes, but to hamper the sue
cessful for the delight of the unsuccessful
College textbooks which reflect this defeat
ism were not written by Communists, but
by depressiOn-bred New Dealers. Neverthe-
less, their effect in weakening the influence
OF capitalist economy has been tremend-
Ous.'
That is a moderate statement. Some of
the textbooks to which young minds are ex-
posed in our leading colleges would shock
millions of American citizens if they could
read them. By direction and indirection,
communism, socialism and the other iSmS
are praised to the skies. The Soviet Union
always gets an admiring hand - and the
crueltieS, injustices and plain -viciousness
which are the hall-marks of any police state
are CLOSED over. Naturalization of indus
try is urged for this country despite the
obvious fact that the destruction of free
enterprise always results in the destruction
of personal and all other liberties. Enormous
care is taken in picking out defects in the
capitalist system, and in making the mex
perienced student believe they are typical.
Not all educators have become dupes of
the communists and socialists. Not all text
books reflect totalitarian attitude. But
enough do to seriously distort the outlook of
the young on the world they live in. The
seed is planted-and it is from such small
starts that the tree of dictatorship is created.
1t is one thing to describe and explain
communism, fascism, socialism and all other
types of government 1t is a very different
thing to so warp the truth as to make these
systems seem superior to the American sys-
tenn that has given our nation unparalleled
economic benefits and social freedom at the
same time That issue must be faced by those
who are responsible for American education.

our country. 1t should tend to stabilize bus
ness, prices and wages. Instead of looking
for bigger business, more wages and higher
prices, this new policy should tend to Aatten
out the curves. Any recession should be grad

ed for thirty years, which was temporarily sus
pended by President Roosevelt, should again
come into force.

Critical School
SitGUtiOn Here
CONTINUED from first page)


The prospect of large classes
looms greatly before the pupils of
the present fifth grade. This group
of students was under this handi-
cap in the fourth grade until a To-
cal referendum made it possible
for the board of education to en-
plOy an additional teacher in jan
uary 1947, so that a proper educa-
ton could be provided for these
students. The new state school
budget provided for an additional
teacher in the fifth grade to take
care of these pupils during the
current school year.
The Milford Board of Education
is making every effort to make it's
needs known to authorities at the
state capital with the hope of Sc
curing aid from this source. Local
funds would be used to provide
space for additional classes. Other
boards of education throughout the
state also lack teachers due to the
rise in population caused by the
birth rate in the communities and
by the construction of new homes.
On May "a the parents of pupils
who will lenter the first grade next
fall are asked to register these pu-
pills at the Milford Elementary
School. At that date, beginning at
8 a. M, the Kent County Health
Unit and. the Milford P. T. A. are
cooperating regarding health ex-
aminatiOns and immunization for
children. Physical and dental ex-
aminatiOns will be conducted as
we'll as diphtheria and smallpox
vaccinations, given when request
ed by the parents. Mothers may
bring infants and children below
school age for immunizatiOns only.
1t is urgently requested that all
prospective first grade pupils ap-
pear at the school on that date so
that they may be properly prepar-
ed to enter school next fall.
The Kent County Health Unit
will conduct this work at the Ben
iamin Banneker School at 1880 p.
m. on May "a. Parents of pupils
who will attend that school next
September are requested likewise
to register the pupils at that time
and also provide for the necessary
examination and immunization.

OLD WALL STREET

since. Certainly, the Wall Streeters have been
self-satisfed group of people living largely
either directly or indirectly-on Inherited
money. These men felt perfectly safe what
ever might happen believing that New York
City with its wealth was fast becoming the
financial and ruling center of the world.
Frankly, the game of old Wall Street was
TO sell out to the public when prices were high,
letting the market drop to low levels until the
pubhc was forced to lose their stocks and
then re-buy them and make millions Until
the Securities and Exchange Commission came
into being Wall Street could lie browbeat,
