lHllIllN
By GEORGE A. Benson

So the PAC, the political arm of
the CIO, is embarked upon a cam
paign to defeat all those members
Of Congress who are responsible
for high pricesI
This organization, which cannot
agree upon a Presidential candidate
to carry it's banner, has Just an
nounced that it saw "how 200 men
in Congress kicked off the lid on
prices of food and clothing"
Consequently, it is collecting a
huge campaign fund to defeat them
at the polls next November. CIO
members, it says, must fight
against congressman who fought
against us"
rms, Of course, is arrant nom
sense, for no Congressman, by his
vote, had anything to do with high
PRICES.
If the PAC is honest in its cam
paign, there is only one thing it
can 40, namely, direct its fight
against President Truman.
Let us look at the record:
The initiation now bedeviling the
American people is the result OF
monetary and fiscal policies pur-
sued by four successive New Deal
Administrations. President RoOse-
welt began them, continued them
Tor long time, and President Tru-
man pursued them wholeheartedlv
the while he added a few imitation
ary processes of his own.
High prices were not voted bv
Congress, and the removal of OPA
controls did not cause them. High
prices are the result of imitation.
and imitation is the result of New
Deal-Truman policies.
Chief among these policies has
been the 15-year record of deficit
financing, which has put into cir
culation the most prOdigious sum
OF money the country has ever
known. Other policies, all of them
approved by a subservient Demo-
crat Congress all through the years
OF the New Deal, contributed their
share, but they need not be listed
here.
1t should be mentioned, however
that Mr.. Truman's wage program,
his foreign relief program, and his
high tax program have added great
ly to the forces of imitation.
So long as we had ratiOning, OPA
controls served as a brake on infla-
ton. But the minute ratiOning was
ended, there was no hope of check
ing price increases by OPA con
trolls. 1t was Mr. Truman who end
ed rationing; who, indeed, wiped
out all price controls in late 1916
when, as he said, they no longer
served any good policy.
This is the truth, but, naturally
truth matters little to those
friends of the common man" who
seek only to enchance their own
powers.

Cincinnati Vendors
Sold About n Miles
Of Hot Dogs in 1947

CINNCINATI - Thirsty baseball
fans at Crosley Field drank So
miles of beer last season.
The followers of the Cincinnati
Reds also devoured n miles of hot
dogs, several square feet of mus
tard, enough ice cream to drown an
elephant, enough peanuts to cover
the playing field, and 95 miles of
soft drinks.
The beer came in $4,000 bottles,
each nine inches high-stacked on
end they'd reach the So miles: there
were 100000 hot dogs; 1000 gallons
of ice cream, 10000 bags of peanuts
and 100000 soft drink bottles.
Incidentally, the vendors who
sold these refreshments sometimes
made as much as $500 a month dur
ing the season and a take of 800 on
big days and nights was not unusu-
al. The hotter the day or night the
larger the income.

A BILLION DOLLARS is but a

that total Of expenditures, all Of

must pay, there could be built some

Such an amount would, in fact, due

To such vast sums every one Of

The taxing process continues

It is our capitalistic system that
makes meeting such tax assess

Europe is attempting to discard,
with America expected to pay the
costs Of their experiments.
The time win come, and may It
be soon, when the American people

For Added
School funds Is
Passed By House

A bill for an emergency school
appropriation of $1,000, 600 with
an amendment for an additional
100000 has been passed by the
U. S. House of Representatives,
according to information receiV-
ed from Congressman William
Colmer, to make up a deficiency
in federal aid funds asked by
schools of the county for the cur
rent school year.
If passage of the bill Is COM
pleted, this will mean between
SIS, 900 and $17,0 for the Pasca-
goula system and $5,854 for the,
Moss Point system, Superinten-
dents Thomas R. Wells and Lu-
Their w. Tanner explained.
OF the five million dollars
asked by the schools for the 1947-
48 session, two and a half mil.
lion was granted and should the
new appropriation Of two million
be granted it would bring the
federal financial assistance to
approximately the required sum.
The Pascagoula schools origin
ally asked for 5000 00 and re-
ceived $9l, 600, Mr.. Wells said.
The Moss Point schools requested
unfortunately $4,000 but re-
ceived only $19,551. An amended
allotment, however, was granted
the system and approved April
2 bringing the allotment to $751;
063, according to Mr.. Tanner.
With the passage of this billanow
in congress the 1854 would
bring the total federal funds to
the amount asked, which is only
a fourth of the Moss Point school
budget. Congressman Coimer was
instrumental in getting the am
ended allotment approved, MFR.
Tanner said.
According to the schoolmen,
this bill is additionally import
ant as it clears the way for APP
