Difference in Price
May Be Investment
By w. F. scHAPHoRsT :

BUYING A THING that is 'need-
ed" is NOT an investment. 1t is a
necessity. Buying food for the pur-
pose of keeping alive is a necessity.
Buying a pair of shoes is usually a
necessity.
Let us say that you have decided
that you need some farm equipment.
You write for prices and learn that
the lowest price is $1,000 and the
highest price is $1,150.
The important question is: Would
you really save $3.50 by installing
the equipment of lowest cost even
though it does meet your immediate
requirements?
The answer is "No" in most cases,
especially if the equipment of high
est price is of the highest quality
obtainab1e.
Instead of being a saving, failure
to invest the $3.50 might easily result
in a loss many times greater than
$3.50 by the time the highest quality
equipment would be discarded.
The $1,000 spent would not be a
true investment because you know
you must have the equipment. But
the $3.50 would be an investment
because that expenditure is not abb
solutely necessary. You are the sole
judge as to whether you are going to
buy the $1,000 or the 81 1850 equip
ment.
For example, when you need a
new suit Of clothes and find the
lowest price to be $50 YOU know you
must spend at least $50. That $50
therefore would not be an invest
ment. Instead of buying a $50 suit
you actually do buy a $50 suit. You
then invest $40 in a new suit and
for that $40 you get better material,
better workmanship, better appear
ance, longer wear, and greater mem
tai satisfaction. In other words YOU
pay $40 for higher quality. The
same is true of farm eouipment.
Therefore, the commonly called
"differential," which is the differ
nee between the best and the poor
est, is the only true investment that
is made, and it has been demon
strated time and again that such
differentia1 investments are gener-
ally worth while. Equipment of
highest quality is always superior
in every respect to equipment that
merely "gets by" within the range
of immediate requirements.
Buyers who are real investors are
seldom afraid to pay a higher price
for farm equipment that is better

Chicago Grain Men Invite
Truman 10 Centennial Fete

President Truman, who has been
critical of commodity market gam
bling" was invited yesterday to ad-
dress the Tooth anniversary celebra-
ton of the Chicago Board of Trade,
largest grain market in the world,
on April 8. He took the invitation
under advisement.
The bid was rendered by Richard
Uhlmann, newly elected president
'of the board, who said the Presi-
dent told him that he always en-
joyed coming to Chicago and would
like to keep the engagement.
Mr.. Uhlmann said they did not
discuss the Presidents charges that
commodity market speculation has
been responsible for increasing liv-
ing costs.
The invitation to the centenary
observance actually was extended
more than year ago by j. o. Nc

board, and Mr.. Uhlman, who in the

Board Sends Proposed
Bill for New Welfare
Rules 10 D. T.. Heads

A proposed bill to simplify and
standardize public assistance regu-
lations today was on its way to the
Commissioners for study after ap-
proval by the Board Of Public We'll
fare yesterday.
One of the features Of the new
act would be to consolidate old-age
payments, aid to the blind, aid to
dependent children and public as
sistance, so conditions under which
payments are made will be the same.
Some of the assistance grants are
payable only to persons after they
have been residents of the District
for five years and others stipulate
one-year residence.
Another feature of the bill would
bar the recovery of public assist
ance funds by the District from
any one who has not acted dis
honestly on negligently in receiving
benefits to which he is not entitled.
No welfare officer would be held
liable for such payments.
Under the present law, the direc-
tor of the Welfare Department can
he held responsible for payments
to such persons.
In other actions, the board
changed its rules to permit payments
to persons who are being rehabili-
tated to obtain employment.
The board also instructed Ray
mond Clapp, acting director, to pre-
pare to defend the budget appro-
priations before Congressional Com
mittees.
Because so few colored girls are
being sent to the National Training
School, new program will be pre-
pared for that institution and it
will operate under another name,
the board decided.

There also was a possibility that
snow interference might have Grip
pied the planes receivers and made
accurate navigation difficult in the
binding storm. Coast Guard Off
cials were advised the plane had at
least six hours of fuel when it left
Newark.
Officials of the Shell Oil Co. In
the Curtis Bay area of Baltimore
reported they heard a plane flying
low shortly before 9 o'clock, appar-
emily proceeding in a westerly di-
rection.
About half an hour later Mont
gomery County police received g
report that a plane flying low haC
been heard over White Oak, about
miles north of Silver Spring. There
was no way of knowing whether il
was the same plane.
Shortly before 10 o'clock, an Army
short-wave station at Fort Dix, N
j., picked up what apparently was
a brief communication from the
ship. A few minutes later the radal
scanning crew at Andrews Field
picked up an airplane on Their

contacts indicated the transport hao

reports which might give clue to

ket in Paris. A Finance Ministry
source said their meetings since yes
terday left them no nearer agree
ment.
The announcement that the mon
etary fund would act came after
Premier Robert Schuman convened
an extraordinary cabinet session on
the dispute. .-
In London, newspapers displayed
the French proposal as d threat to
the pound sterling. The Evening
Standard reported from Paris that
France is prepared to defy both
London and Washington" and de-
value the franc "by tomorrow night
at the latest"
Pound DevaIuation Denied.
A British government source
said:
"You can be pretty sure nothing
is going to happen to the pound,
We're not going to devalue.''
French sources said Sir Stafford,
in his meetings with Mr.. Mayer,
protested devaluation of the franc
would dislocate European economy.
The informants said Mr.. Mayer de-
MED this and said one of the aims
Of devaluation would be to promote
world money stability.
The United States was reported
in Washington dispatches yesterday
to have decided to abandon the
role of bystander and take a hand
in settling the dispute for fear it
might wreck the international mon
etary fund.
The funds board in Washington
has been considering French re-
quest for permission to put the
project into effect
Withdrawal Threat Denied.
The ministry source denied news
paper reports published abroad, that
the French government had threat
ened to withdraw from the fund If
the devaluation proposal was not
approved. j..
I'VE would not be such fools as
to antagonize the United States
as well as the British at time like
this" he declared.
The. conservative Paris newspaper
Figaro remarked today, ito take no
notice of the funds objection does
not mean to withdraw"
The effect of the plan would be
to better the competitive position of
French exporters by enabling them
to cut their dollar prices for goods
about in half.

1900 Enrolment Rise
Seen for Montgomery
Schools Next Fall

Montgomery County's already
svercrowded schools may have an
increase of 4,900 students next fall,
Richard Carpenter, assistant super
intendent in charge of maintenance,
told the Montgomery County League
of Women Voters at its one-day
school of county government in the
Chevy Chase Presbyterian Church
yesterday.
Mr.. Carpenter said a recent sur
vey showed 3,201 homes and $50
apartment units under construction
in the county in December with as
many more expected to 60 up before
the school term begins next fall.
How to provide facilities for the
increase is the chief worry Of the
Board of Education at this time,
Mr. Carpenter said.
Complicated by Three Factors.
This overcrowding situation is
further complicated by three fac
tors. he explained:
l. Many schools are outmoded
2. Immediate action is needed to
provide better schools for colored
children.
8. Some of the 1,100 county chill
dren who now attend District schools
are likely to return to the county
because of tuition charges.
Growing population make bigger
demands on police, roads, parks,
health and welfare services, as well
as schools, Irving G. McNayr, coun-
ty supervisor, told the league.
The present taxable base of the
county cannot take care of all these
needs, Mr.. McNayr said. He recon-
mended an increase in the county's
light industry as a solution to the
problem.
County Income Tax Suggested.
The discussion group on taxation,
led by Mrs. Ralph Himstead, sug-
gested graduated income tax as
the answer to the county's financial
problem.
Elwyn A. Mauck of the Bureau OF
Public Administration, University Of
Maryland, reviewed the history OF
the home rule movement in the
United States. Speaking of the pro-
posal to put the District of Colum-
bia on a home rule basis, he said:
"It is absurd that the leading
democratic power Of the world is
afraid to extend the right of democ-
racy to the people living in the Ma
tion's Capital"
Mrs. Himstead was general chair
man of the one-day school.

LAWTON, Okla, Jan. 24.-An in
toxicated Fort Sill soldier ran ber-
serk in a tank-like, self-propelled
155-mm. howitzer here shortly be-
fore Misunderstanding frantic MPs
on a dizzy 12-mile chase through
the heart Of town before they trap
ped him with a road-block.
The one-man armored force in
the 21-ton vehicle crashed three
cars on his stormy passage and
started q near panic in Lawton. a
town of 10000, where startled citi-
zens iammed the police telephone
board with questions and play-by-
play reports.
The provost marshals Office at
the fort, the Army's top artillery
school, acknowledged the incident,
but withheld the mans name and
announced tersely IAN investigation
is going on now"
Alarmed Lawton residents, who
were forced to seek shelter by the
crafty driven machine, at first re-
ported it to be a tank.
Desk Sergt. Al Tennessee of the
Lawton police said his first report
came from an excited man who
burst into the police station shout
said he Pauley) is what is known
in slang as an in and outer"
Subsequent questions, together
with Mr.. Stassen's answers, in
cluded:
@. Do you accuse Mr.. Pauley of
selling wheat on August 10, 1947, on
the basis of inside information OBJ
tanned from Secretary Anderson?
A. No.
Several Questions Discarded.
Several other questions, based on
the prediction that Mr.. Stassen's
answer to that question would be
"yes," were discarded and the in
terrogation went on:
@. What did you mean by testify
ing that there was additional sig
nificance" to the August 10, 1947,
wheat sale because Mr.. Anderson
was Mr.. Pauley's guest at the time?
A. The best answer to that is to
read my testimony when it was first
given. (Mr. Stassen read it back
from the transcript and then con-
continued. He (Mr. Pauley) was in
direct association with members of
the cabinet and he was therefore
an insider at all times. The associa-
tion together with Secretary An
derson I think should be inquired
into. I wasn't there and I can't
testify as to what was said there.
@. How do you square naming
Secretary Anderson with your testi-
mony that you do not name names
unless you have absolute proof?
A. have absolute proof that he
was there and that was what tes-
titled to. He hasn't denied it so
far as I know.
At one point, Mr.. Stassen said
Mr.. Pauley was perhaps the most
successful speculator in the markets.
TT would appear from our study
that Mr.. Pauley made the largest
profit in 1947 of any speculator in
the United States unless 1t would
be Mr.. Ralph K. Davies" Mr. Stas-
sen declared.
