voted commemorative issues has become some thing of a racket which is debasing the currency Commenloratives useful purpose in honorine great Americans. But the real worth of such issues is determined by the with which they choser and executed. The honor is something that ought to reserved for truly special occasions Instead it has become merely way for Congressman to show his constituents that he is protecting their interests.
 For example, what possible excuse can there be for postage stamp honoring the poultry industry? The lady chickens being commemorated undoubtedly performed useful service to their country but the suspicion fingers that the biggest egg in this laid by gullible Congress Likewise the woman or iginatng the Flanders Fields memorial poppy idea no
 doubt is entitled to respect But is this really the sort of thing that merits special United States postage stamp?. Counting two stamps released the weekend g separate commemorative ssues 21 of them in the Scent denomination, are scheduled for dis tributon between now and the end of the year. The number is making even collectors vince, and with good reason. Next thing you know, there, will be a special juke box nickel to commemorate the fellow who wrote Nature Boy.

hees immediate official orbit, he is virtually unknown.
 This modesty is very character istic of him More than one of his accomplishments have been headline news, but he doesn't func- ton that way. Grandstanding or limelight-gra bbing is out of his ken.
 To Tracy Voorhees, only one thing matters: Getting a job done as efficiently, expeditiously and for the greatest good that is possible.
 All the rest is no consequence to him. He really believes that work well done is it's own best reward The remarkable thing is that this belief has worked out that way for Voorhees,. Wholly lacking in politi- cal pull" and without his seeking the office, he recently was elevated to Assistant Secretary of the Army solely because of his outstanding record and qualifications for the position.

out fanfare or grandstanding, suc- cessfully administered relief pro- gram many times larger and more complex than that of Herbert Hoover after World War I.
 Further, Voorhees, accomplished this stupendous feat without title or rank. It was not until after the tough-fi listed House Appropria- tions Committee earlier this year paid him an extraordinary triaute, that he was formally named Assis- tant Secretary of War.
 Voorhees, had submitted a bud- get request of $l,250,0O0,000 for the various occupied zones. After a minute examination of his estimate, the committee not only officially lauded him for his clarity and ac- curacy. but approved his request in toti.
 Voorhees, budget was the only one in the recovery appropriation bill that was not cut.
 Note: Under Voorhees, program the U. s. is now feeding Germans at cost of $17.12 per head pel annum. This food is approximately 60 percent of the rationed food re- ceiyed by Germans.

SELF-INCRIMINATION

The succession of witnesses before the House Committee on Un-Amercan Activities who have used the protection of the Fifth Amendment to avoid an- swering questions obviously escaping incrimi nation only in the legal sense of the word They scarcely suggest that their refusal to saves them from self incriminaton in the minds of these who hear read their testimony. For when a man declines opportunity to deny under oath speci- fic charges which have been made against him, the public can draw no conclusion save that he is guilty.
 The Fifth Amendment, to which these witnesses have turned refuge provides that mo shall be held for capital, otherwise infamous crime unless on a presentment indictment of a grand jury nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be witness against himself

GREAT FEEDER

Voorhees, was still grappling with the prosthetic problem, when he was called on to tackle an even greater one.
 Food supplies for occupied Ger many went haywire. Early in the spring of 1947, occupation author ities suddenly reported a myster- ious vast shortage in food resour- ces. Hundreds of thousands of tons of food had somehow very strangely either. dis,lppeared or had never existed
 The daily ration had to be cut to less than 1000 calories; the Krauts started rioting; and Ruhr coal, and other essential production dropped precipitously.
 ] This was the hot potato" Voor- 1 hees was asked to straighten out. Again, he went to work quietly and unsparingly. Driving himself day and night, he not only got huge quantities of food to Ger many but to the equally distressed Allied countries, which were in dire need as.a result of crop failures
 Tn this activity, Voorhees,. with

ARTIFICIAL LIMBS

After Patterson became Secretary of War, he again asked Voorhees, to undertake difficult job in be- half of veterans who had lost limbs. With the war over, Voor- hees had doffed his uniform. But he again responded without ques- tion.
 Under Patterson's prodding, Ar my medical brasshats had belated- ly, in the spring of 1945, started program to improve artificial limbs. These devices were still in the oxcart stage. They were cum bersome, crude and intellectual.
 However, despite the good inten- ticns of the Army's tardy develop ment program, it soon begged down in administrative snafu. Voorhees, quietly reorganized the setup and put the project on practical working basis.
 He is still keeping helpful sup ervisory eye on the program, Under it, real progress is being made in developing truly modern and effi- cient artificial limbs. There have been no miracls, but slowly and steadily advances are being made that offer hope, that if the program is continued over period of years, devices will be evolved that in a measure will approximate the util- ity of human limbs.
 For this, every amputee in the country, veteran or civilian, owes Tracy Voorhees, lasting debt of gratitude.

Keep Weapons!
Cincinnati Enquirer)

Under present law, the War Assets Administra- tion is instructed to wind up its disposal of war equipment by next February 28 Since the end of the war the WAA has sold, for S4,0O0,O00 0O0 equipment that represented in the Federal taxpayers. ,4. 4H .s. As
 The Philadelphia Inquirer expresses the view that the unloading" operations of the WAA should have stopped months ago. in view of the Berlin crisis.
 We hope that the WAA has taken note of changed world conditions in the shaping of its sales policies And evidently it has, to degree at least At the outset of course there obvious reason for not selling much of the surplus material quickly as possible Much of the equipment represented things for which the civilian economy starved, and the sales in these categores were boost to peaceme reconverson at least relieved of the critical shortages of materials There further advantage in the WAA sales program in that it did recapture at least small part of the tremendous cost of war.
 The first portents that could not rely upon world peace to maintain itself should have been a storm warning to the WAA. We fear there has been certain amount of surplus buying in the expecta- tion that the government would need the same items before the world situation is readjusted And agree with the Inquirer that the WAA should hold onto items which can be stored easily, and which certainly would be needed in another
 Unfortunately of the weapons of war be- this certainly is not true of the great bulk of war And would feel safer with an ade- quate supply of World War II weapons-which were quite effective-than altogether inadequate supply of future weapons

VETERAN

Voorhees has been serving his country unobtrusively and devot- edly for a long time. Then over 50 and senior partner of a highly successful New York law firm. of which the late Chief Jus tice Harlan Stone had once been a member, Voorhees, instantly drop ped his large practice to respond to an urgent call from his old friend Robert Patterson, then Un- dersecretary of War. Patterson needed a hard-headed and driv- ing trouble-shooter to go to the ends of the world to straighten out critical army snarls.
 From then on. as an Army Col onel, Voorhees, was constantly on the go. Wherever stupidity, incompet- ence and bungling snafued the channels of supply, he moved in and quietly and effectively brought or der and action.

 Although huge quantities of plasma had been shipped to- the theatre, combat commanders bom- barded Washington with irate com- plaints of shortages. Voorhees un- earthed the reason.
 On some islands, no longer in the active zone, he found medical sup ply officers boarding large quan- titles of plasma.
 Similarly. in England, he quiet ly again saved the Medical Corps neck on hospital equipment. Voor- -hees found tremendous discrepan- cies in the preparations for taking

The pressure which already has started in several quarters for the issuance of postage stamp com- mernorating the late General Pershing makes one think of the prncpality of Lichtensten, which makes good portion of it's living by catering to philatelists This is said out of dsrespect to General Pershng Undoubtedly Pershing qualities for the honor if any American But it would be less unseemly to wait until the stamp can be fitted into regular program of commemorative than to add it to the hastily con- ceived issues with which Congress has burdened the Post Office Department
