HIDING MONEY

The National Savings and Loan League has under taken crusade-to keep people from using sugar bowls and old trunks hiding places for money.
 Officials of the league contend that there are billions of dollars in cash hidden under floor boards trunks kitchen cabinets and just about every other conceivable hiding place. Newspaper items galore VIII attest that these outof theway hooks are just about the least safe of all places to keep money Fire ana theft take constant toll of hidden money, and more often than not the losers are those least able to afford it.
 The National Savings and Loan Association nat uray has some interest in getting people to use the regular savings institutions the point is very well taken Even before the days of such things as Fed eral deposit insurance, banks and savings and loan associations incomparably safer places to keep money than the home. Today the keeping of sub stantial amounts of money in the home or hidden elsewhere simply isn't sensible.

U. s. Military Lukewarm

Wallace, after various conferences, reported back to FDR that atomic energy was definitely worth the en- ormous expense in dollars and man. power AS a result the Manhattan Project was born.
 At that time U. s. Military lead- CTS were not enthusiastic. They faced tremendous shortages of ma terial and did not want anything to detract from the immediate win ming of the war. General Marshall then Chief of Staff, went along with the idea, but Gen. B. B. Som ervell, in charge of supplies, was skeptical.
 {. Perhaps it was because some of the brass hats considered the atom project a starry eyed dream of a visionary Vice President that Gen. oral Groves was picked to command the Manhattan Project. Groves, a genial and efficient engineering of- ficer, was in the doghouse because he had built the Pentagon Build ing, then considered something of a monstrosity, at considerably more expense than was estimated.

Most of it. how ever represents simply the adding of tasks and the broadening of the role of government in our national life
 In this postwar period, however, the largest new burden has with the enormous expansion of the armed forces. And that reflects the entirely new position of the United States in world affairs. We can look forward however, to time when the Euro pean democraces dependent our protection, as well subsidy will be able to defend them selves against Russia.

BIGGEST ON EARTH

Americans quite accustomed to having the biggest and greatest of almost everything on earth Superlatves natural to in this productive land But it is cold comfort know that the Federal Government is far and away the largest employer in the United States, and probably the largest employer in the word-aside from the Soviet Government, of course.

Einstein Saddens

Old man Einstein, the godfather of atomic energy, is having his house painted It needs more than that. It stands, gray and weather beaten, on a residential street in Princeton, and one post of the porch is eaten away at the base by aunts or termites.
 But the things that make Albert Einstein sad are not related to painting and carpentry. One is the condition of his invalid sister. An- other is what is happening in in- ternational affairs.
 His brown eyes are still bright, however, especially when he en- counters a fresh idea. And for con- fort, he always has his piano, where he improvises tunes of his own.
 In international affairs, Einstein is troubled by the cold war and it's effect of rebuilding Germany. As an intellectual, he does not share the views of political and military ex- perts about the menace of Russia. He thinks that a strong Germany offers far greater menace and that the western policy of rebuild ing Germany as a bastion against Russia is utter folly
 He doesn't express these views for publication. He tries to keep out of public life, and he shuns interviews. He was deeply hurt by attacks in the press and by mail which followed a previous express sion of views.
 When a visitor called on, him re- gently, he discussed the east-west conflict, with dolorous shake of his long white hair that reaches down to his shoulders. But he per- mitted only one sentence to be quoted Coming from man who is himself a German, it was a powerful sentence.
 The present policy toward Ger many, said Einstein, lis the same madness the western powers con- mitted after the last war"

Wnllace's Secrets

Unquestionably Groves did with hold secrets from Vice President Wallace. But unquestionably also Wallace knew about as much as anyone else high up in the gov ernment regarding the progress of the brain child which he had help ed to launch. For he continued his close contacts with General Mar shall and Stimson; and Wallace's aides frequently wondered what lay behind his luncheons with Marshall and Stimson about which he re- fused to talk
 Later Groves and Wallace found themselves on the same side of the fence, when military leaders sug- gested that the Manhattan Project be terminated. This was in the spring of 1945, when some military leaders argued that B-29s could sufficiently devastate Germany and Japan without an atomic bomb.
 The Manhattan Project, by that time, was secretly scoffed at by some as "Roosevelt's two billion dollar boondoggle," and War De- partment mission headed by John Madigan, a New York construction expert, was sent to Oak Ridge, Tenn, to decide whether atomic development should be stopped or go forward.
 It was General Groves. by then emphatically sold on atomic energy, who threw his weight in favor of

While Ku Klux Klan cross-burn- ings and race troubles of the south make headlines, the less spectacular acts of good will below the Mason Dixon Line do not.

 The town honored Coach Smith not only for the fine football teams he has developed, but also for the excellent guidance he is giving to the youth of Orange.

THESE DAY s
 B Y GEORGE E. SOKOLSKY
WAGES AND WORK

Low wages can result in reduced
 purchasing power; therefore, in re- duced production and unemploy-
 ment. The theory of American wage payments, since the turn of this century, has been to increase wages,
 purchasing power and productivity
 For instance, in 1900, the average
 worker in manufacturing industries
 in the United States worked 59 hours a week and received an av-
 craze wage of less than g cents an hour. In 1949, he worked an av- |.erage of 397 hours; received an average wage of $139 an hour.
 On the other hand, high wages can reach a level at which the law of diminishing returns sets in. Prices rise to eliminate the ad- vantage of increased earnings and taxes rise at the same time and hit constantly lower income groups until all are affected. Purchasing power decreases and the govern ment steps in to maintain prices out of taxes which spirally increase to meet rising federal budgets. Busi- ness then depends not upon the market but on direct and indirect government subsidies.
 A not unusual factor at such a moment is that spending is post poned. This is a normal phenomena on in a high standard of living country where an increasing number of commodities are postponable. IT. l a low standard of living country where the bulk of earnings has tC be used for food and shelter, little
 is voluntarily postponable, but ir
