right to greater things. 1t has
the stuff it takes to. serve
greater America.
We ask only to serve. We say
to the American people: rebuke
us when we fail, give us measure
for measure what We deserve.
But let us serve as Americans
should be served.
Republican Congressman pro-
missed to free American economy
from RECOMMENDATION, and they
did it. They restored both the
fact and the good name OF
American fraee enterprise.
Republican Congressman pro-
missed to balance the budget, and
they did it. They promised to
reduce federal spending, and they
did it. Over the outcries of bur.
eaucrats they cut between two
and three billion dollars from

They promised to reduce fed
eral income taxes, and they did
it. They did it over three presi-
Dental vetoes. They promised to
increase the take-home pay OF
the head-of-the house in every
American home, and they did it.
The New Dealers opposed the
tax cut on the false ground that
more money in the peoples poe
kets would increase spending and
initiation. We Republicans be-
lieve that more money in the
peoples pockets is good for the
people and good for the country.
We know hiatt more take-home
pay is the first concrete help
given the American people to
meet the high cost of living.
The second is increased prodtc-
ton, resulting from the stimula-
ton which the tax cut has CIV
ing. The second is increased pro-
duction, resulting from the sti-
mutation which the tax cut has
given to investment and enter
prise.
In 1916 the Republican party
promised to correct the chaotic
conditions in labor relations
which were paralyzing American
production and recovery. They
did that, too.
The Republican Congress re-
lentlessly has exposed waste, in
efficiency and corruption in the
federal administration. It's in
vestigations uncovered the scan
dals of the Meyers aviation
contracts and the Pauley grain
deals.
The American people owe a
great debt to the Eightieth Con-
gress. 1t has restored faith in.
representative government.
The Republican party was
created nearly a century ago to
stop the spread of slavery IN
America. 1t vindicated that
! principle. When it takes office
in America. 1t indicated that
policy will be to check the
spread of slavery in the world.
It will vindicate that principle,
too.
We learned, long ago, that
the Way to stop slavery is to
build more freedom. That IS
| what we propose to do at home
aond in the world.
Today, tonight, America IS
/ losing the peace. The blood and
treasure which we so willingly
gave are being wasted by con-
fused and incompetent foreign

We fought for justice and
freedom, but almost a dozen ma

BurIeith Delegate
To Federation Refuses
To Sign Affidavit

A delegate to the Federation of
Citizens Associations last night re-
fused to sign the ti-subversive"
affidavit as required by the Feder-
alton.
John S. Gorrell of the Burleith
Citizens Association told the group:
II will not sign it
Mr.. Gorrel declared he has no
faith in Communist. Any officer
or delegate who was a Communist
would not hesitate to sign, Mr.. Cor
rel said. He pointed out, therefore,
the officials should not be allowed to
sign their own affdavits.
That is the kind of people they
are" he said.
Mr.. Gorrel was asked to reconsid-
er his refusal. He explained this is
a matter to be discussed outside the
meeting.
A motion which would require the
president and secretary of the as
sociation to file the affidavits for all
of the officers had been introduced
by Mr.. Gorrel.
This motion was defeated after j.
Carter Fort, jr., president, said he
would not sign for the other Of
ficers because he does not know to
what organizations they belong.
The association then directed each
officer and delegate to sign his own
affidavit.
Mr.. Fort appointed j. M. Winnie
more to investigate the possibility of
organizing a drive to fight the jap
anese beetle in the Burleith area.
The meeting was held in the Cor
don Junior High School, Thirty
fifth and T streets NV.

morning milk returns to make
up. There wasn't a moment she
could phone Gil. Just before
lunch time the vicar came in,
his large ears, chilled by the
cold, protruding from his head
like small pink wings. Some
times ON Thursday mornings he
gave himself the pleasure of
taking the scripture lesson for
the upper forms. Occasionally he
had ten minutes left over which
he devoted to the kindergarten.
He looked benignly round the
class as they chanted Good
morning." and slightly less be-
nignly as he caught sight of Tony
Sharp making plasticene pud-
ding on the floor.
''Tush, tush!" he exclaimed.
"Is this the way we behave when
we come to school?" He raised
disapproving eyebrows at Jess
She explained, and the rest of
the class eyed the scene with an
air of sweet superiority.
well, WE'LL" he said, I'VE
must see what we can do" He
rubbed his hands.
Jess knew he was waiting for
her to make an excuse to leave
him alone with the class. "I1l go
: and collect the handwork," she
said.
She stood by the phone in
Miss Forsett's office. 1t was
nearly lunchtime. Gil should be
back in the farmhouse. She gave
his number, keeping her voice
steady.
CLIP" 1t was his sister, Nan.
Il think l just saw him go past
the window. Hold on and I'll
see if he's in Dads study"
Jess thought that as soon as
she heard Gil's voice she'd be all
right. She'd ask him if she could
see him tonight. 1t was just the
terrible finality of that word
'good-by."
Hello, Jess" 1t was Nan.
I'm awfully sorry. l must have
been mistaken. He isn't in. May
give him a message?"
mo, it's all right, Nan.
Thanks. BY"
Jess put back the receiver.
She knew by the strain and en-
barrassment in Mans voice that
Gil had asked her to say he
wasn't in. She sat down,
appalled,. What'll l do? she
thought. Since she was seven
teen and Gil nineteen, they'd

first it had been as soon as he was
through agricultural college.

course, the war had come. After
that he'd gone back to college
for his final year. Since then, he'd

she thought again, What1l l
do? Gil was the core of her life,
the pivot of her dreams. Without
him she was stumbling in space,
no foothold anywhere.
Her fingers fidgeted with a
bound book of examination pa
pers: Discuss either () the
effects on English foreign pol
icy of Henry Wits marriages,

sister Elizabeth influenced her
conduct"
Jess stared at the neat, print
ed paragraph. 1t exasperated her
that her brain subconsciously
ate up the words. She looked at
her watch. 1t was five minutes
to twelve. The vicar would be
finishing.
As she opened the classroom
door, she saw Tony Sharp sit
ting in a desk in the front row,
placid and decorous. The wears
triumph was such a small ripple
in the sea of her misery, that
even as her anger mounted Jess
couldn't understand it. What
did it matter if he had managed
Tony better than she had! But
she minded 50 fiercely that the
dutifully adniring smile the
vicar obviously expected re-
quired an immense effort.
AFTER lunch, sitting alone in
the empty schoolroom, Jessica
smoked a cigarette during the
short ten minutes that were all
that remained to her before
afternoon school. Across the
dark shifting morass of her
thoughts one word swan round
and round like a fish in a bowl,
repeating itself over and over
again: jealousy.
Her mother was jealous. Her
thoughts moved pityingly, ten
derly toward her. Her mothers
jealousy of them had scared
their lives. She herself had been

BRITISH FOUR-YEAR RECOVERY PLAN
(British Information Services)

British Information ServiceS)
 The British four-year recovery plan has been widely discussed by the newspapers. The general opinion IS that brings clearly than has been done far the need for this country to produce than at pres ent The Times, after referring to the White Paper forecast of easing of austerity if the plan is real ized, says
 "The British people will quickly discover if they ex- the report that the possibility of these desirable developments depends on them and their efforts y
 The paper thinks that if there is message with a meaning for everybody in the country to be found in the report it is not that life will start being easy in 1852 but that reasonable comfort by then demands increases in production which by the standards of present prog ress, are unlikely to be realized
 The Manchester Guardian declares:
 All the comfort we can get from the given docu- ment is that without American aid and without the strenuous efforts required to regain independence should be very much worse off In any case pecng twenty-five per cent less aid in the second year of the period and diminishing amounts in the third and fourth years these amounts should be further reduc ed recovery would be slowed down and might even be reversed The figures of the White Paper leave doub at all that walking dangerously close to preci pice"
 The Guardian thinks the general obectives set out in the White Paper honest enough but that far as production targets concerned the whole program IS precarlous 1t says new equipment and methods have raised efficiency only to the extent of making good the loss of production through shorter working weeks and that the Government cannot get better results in the future the true prospect for 1853 is much bleaker than the White Paper suggest The "Guardians" last word is: This plan is no plan; it is day dream which may or may not come true"
 The Daily Express and the Daily Mail" both think the obiectves well within the power of the British people, The Mail" says:
 Under the stress of war they would take them in tner srlde but Tn peace time there is not the same spur or stimulus The White Paper admits that the present economic difficulties not obvious to the public It is the duty of the Government to try to make them plain and it is the duty of the people to try to make this 1 plan work.
