such country as the United States, automobiles, refrigerators, televis- ion. and similar do-dads can be used another year if necessary and another smear can be squeezed out of a lipstick. In a word, while lux uries may become necessities by usage and habit, they are not &C., tual necessities, as we learned dur ing the war.
 Therefore, savings may increase to a point that amounts to hoard ing. Such savings, while morally sound as thrift, may economically be unsound because they may re- duce employment and production.
 Economists can argue by the hour about this, particularly about when the danger point will be reached. No one can prove disaster until it occurs, although many will be wise and boastful after the fact. Statisticians love to play with such toys. Actually one mans guess is as good as anocher's as to when constantly rising wages and costs of production become peril, if the rise is unnecessarily speedy and unrelated to prices or taxes.
 The individual quite rightly wants more money for himself and his family and takes what he can get But economists and writers on this subject should show some object ivity and think in terms of the country as a whole. Certainly, de- partment store sales dc not warrant the assumption that buying is plentiful and some popularizers who are unaccustomed to figures forget that totals never prove a point un- less all factors are taken into con- sideration. For instance, to make a due comparison between buying this Christmas season and others, it is necessary to compare also cur rency in circulation and what hap pened to it; that is,- how much is spent; how much is saved; how much is taken out of circulation by hoarding.
 Pensions are wage payments when they are non- -contributory; they are partial savings when they are con- tributory. When pensions are wage payments, they amount to antici- pated savings which can also be spent, in advance, on homes, in vestments and so on depending upon the terms of the pension. This, of course, applies to all pensions.
 If nothing happens to them, as is usually the case, until paid, they represent income stored in trust funds and withheld from purchas- ing power.
 This involves a serious problem because these pension trusts will have to do something with vast, accommodating funds or there win be too much idle money in the country, withdrawn from purchas- ing power. If they are used to buy ing government bonds, in competi- tion with government agencies which are buying such bonds, the time may come when the reservoir of private capital for investment in industry and commerce may be dried up, or we may have situa- tion in which the pension trust of one company is used to purchase the equities in a competitor or in another industry. All this needs to be thought out and worked out. The politicians are not yet fright ened enough to do any thinking.

court stopped short when it
came upon the trial judges
charge to the jury, and il never
went any further.
The trial fudge, interpreting
the Chicago ordinance under
which Terminiello had been
convicted, said that "misbehav-
Tor MAY constitute a breach OF
the peace If it stirs the public
to anger, invites dispute, brings
about a condition of unrest or
creates a disturbance"
The late Justice Douglas,
writing the opinion of the
Court majority, said: "A func-
ton Of free speech under our
system of government is to
invite dispute. 1t may in
deed best serve its high pur-
pose when it induces a condi-
ton of unrest, creates dissatis-
faction with conditions as they
are or even stirs people to
anger" The parts of the pr
dinance concerned In the case,
as construed by the trial judge,
were declared unconstitutional.

of the lower courts had taken

tempting to make up his mind
whether the present Supreme
Court is predoninantly lib

Terminielle decision on May 9
proved the futility of 1t, if any

Experts on constitutional law
often attempt to figure it out
by making a statistical analy-
ysis of the justices votes IN
civil Fights cases. But their con-
clusions don't prove much.
In the first place. what is lib
eral TO one man seems consery-
alive to another. The words
don't have any clear meaning.
And often in a so-called civil
rights case the courts decisions
are based on legal points quite
apart from the main issues.

The Supreme Court has e
peatedly recognized that the
right OF free speech is not alb
solute, that there are times and
places where q man cannot be

But you'll never know wheth-
er the majority of the court be-

the bounds. That wasn't de-

SEEKS AID FOR COAST
 INDUSTRY

WASHINGTON, April 2O.-IR- Rep. Clinton D. McKinnon (D- Calif) has sought Presidential aid to rescue the West Coast aircraft and tuna packing industries.
 In both cases, he told reporters afterwards, the President promis- ed to make inquiries.
 McKinnon said the government placed aircraft contracts inland during the war with Japan be- cause of the feeling that West Coast plants were endangered. In recent years there has been a 50 per cent drop in employment in the Pacific industry. he said.
 We now feel that with the dang CT from Japan out of the way and greatest danger of war appearing most likely in Europe, something should be done to rescue West Coast aircraft builders, McKinnon added.
 He said he suggested that quotas be established for the importation of canned tuna.
 Just before the last war, he con- tinued, the American industry was threatened by Japanese imports made possible by cheap labor. Since the war, he said, new competition is coming in from North Africa, Peru, Mexico, Chile, Portugal and other countries.

 The hearing follows financial re- ports showing that the river fleet operated by the government-owned railroad, lost S76,388 last season.
 Villagers served by the packets md barges are expected to testify or send statements on what effect hscontiiluance of service would nave on them. Testimony and findings will be forwarded to the interior Department for a final recommendation. A decision would not hs effective until 1850.

PILOT DROPS 4,ooo FEET
 TO DEATH
Dave HuYeke Sucked from Plane Door Near
 Annette Airport

SEATTLE, April 20--tR-A pilot for the Sourdough Air Transport of Anchorage, Alaska, fell to his death from company plane shortly after it took off from the Annette Island airport, company representatives reported here.
 The island is roughly 10 miles from Ketchikan, Alaska.
 Fred Whitmire, manager of the firms Seattle office, identified the fl:er as Dave Huycke, third pilot aboard the plane. His father, Harold Huycke lives at 211 Medic Drive, Los Angeles.
 Whitmire said Capt. Ed Brenner, first pilot, reported by telephone from Annette that Huycke was sucked" from the plane as he sought to check draft around the door
 Whitmire said the plane. CAT carrying 10 passengers. was about four minutes out of Annette Island field enroute to Anchorage. He estimated the planes altitude at the time of the tragedy at possibly 4,OOO feet
 The plane returned to Annette after the tragedy.
 The Coast Guard said a PBY would fly north from Seattle today to join the search now being con- ducted by two aircraft and a cut ter from the Annette Island base.
 The plane left Seattle last night.
 Whitmire gave this relayed ac- count of the tragedy:
 There seemed to be draft around one of the doors, and Cap tain Brenner told me Juycke went back to see what caused it.
 NO one knows just what hap pened, but in some way he got she door open and then the wind sucked him out of the plane.'
