big shots used him as long as
they desired and then discarded
him as he discarded the little
ones" he used.-And such is the
usual story of life, dog eat
dog.
Jerry was no worse than the
most of his kind except in his
disloyalty, his egotism, his, cruel
ty and his tempermental vindic-
tiveness. Contact with creul
world had caused his attitudes.
Almost any dog will protect his
family, but Jerry allowed his law
yers to prosecute his wife. AL
though he had deserted her, left
her without money, and without
love and had run around with
every woman who crossed his
path, he wanted to try to build
up case against Audrey so that
the public would say he was JUS
titled,
And so he hired man after man
to try to frame her. He took ad-
vantage Of the fact that she was
an affectionate, warmhearted wo-
man who would almost perish
without the kindness and atten-
ton of mate, and he piled her
with men, men and with money,
young attractive ones, and cruel
INSCRIPTIONS ones like himself
all he could find. He and his law
yer, gave the stooges the secrets
Of her personality, Of her warn
heart, of her habits to enable them
to seduce her.
But in her virtue, her love and
her high moral calibre, she out
witted them all. She nearly had
a nervous breakdown in the in
term, but God saved her in spite
Of all storm and all trouble. He
saved her with the help of sincere
friends Of ministers, of kind law
yers, doctors and many good PEG
pie. He caused Jerry to be i'll, and
he caused his lies to be known.
Sal, nc good gal that she was
blown up because of the weak
Jerry's rich attentions began to
boast among her younger and
more attractive male friends that
she had taken Jerry for a ride
to the tune of car, daily gifts,
mink coat and other Injuries.
She fleeced him, and she play
ed with other men, He discover
ed what a fool he had been and
grew ill. His other big shot girl
friends whom he had been using
because of their money and i'm
portance became angry when
they heard about Sal and desert
ed him. / =
And those false friends who
had finally succeeded in breaking
up the famous Audrey-Jerry
combination of brains, genius, in
tuition and common sense laugh
ed and preened themselves at the
success of their plot. Like Iagc
in Othello, they had accomplish
ed the ruin they desired, and
they were happy.
And so Jerry learned too late
what fool he had been after
losing everything and every coed
friend. This was the way Jerry
framed himself in trying to frame
Mrs. Jerry, framed himself by
losing his incentive to turn out
good work, by losing his self re-
spect and the respect of others,
by losing his ambition and his
desire for work, by losing himself
an dthe highest good" in life, by
losing valuable contracts because
cf guilty conscience and by
turning away from God. That is
the way Jerry framed himself in
trying to frame Mrs. Jerry.

deals and embarrassing of Mrs.
Jerry on business deals will be

his life)

DEFENSE CHIEF:
Has Big lob


Louis johnson of West Virginia
had taken on one of the biggest
jobs in the world, and had added
to the magnitude of the task when
he declared the armed services of
the United States would be united
as one"
WELL, JOHNSON, in taking over
as secretary of defense. was the
man whose job it would be to unity
the armed services, but his prede-
cessor, James v. Forrestal, retir-
ing to private life as a banker,
hadn't been able to do it.
The fact was that jealousy be-
tween the services made it prac-
tically impossible to implement a
congressional act unifying the army,
navy and air corps. However.
it was said Johnson would come
closer to it than anyone else proba-
bly, could. 1t was reported he was
ready to adopt a tough" policy
to brass hats in all the services and
that if ~unification were possible.
he'd bring it about.

PRICE DROP:
Hits Initiation

American consumers were ask
ing themselves: What does il
mean? Why were prices. being
slashed, the dollar stretching a
little further? Was it simply that
initiation was being clipped, or was
it true, as some have said, that the
country is in the midst of a mild
recession?
THOSE QUESTIONS were we'll
founded. For, in the latest economic
development, prices of automo-
biles, accessories, radios, refriger-
ators and ranges had been re-
duced.
Continued reductions in such
basic commodities as lead, zinc,
copper and steel indicated there
might be further cuts in manufac-
tured goods in the wind.
One automobile manufacturer
announced cuts ranging from $198
to 1888 in the price of his cars. The
m%id-season catalogue of the ma
tons biggest mail-order house an
nounced 'many price reductions
in all lines" Even ice cream was
down-off three cents a quart in
Philadelphia.
Radios showed the biggest drop.
One acknowledgement manufacture
er announced price cuts Of 20 to so
per cent on nine home model sets.
Auto batteries were lower in cost.
A refrigerator m a uf a cturer
knocked off $40 from some OF its
models. Steel was down and scrap
metal was at the lowest price in al
most two years.
WHATEVER ELSE entered into
the picture, it was conceded that
buyer resistance was n Of the
main items in the price reductions.
The consumer had become more
conscious of prices. There had been
more hand-to-mouth buying. There
was a tendency to wait and see"
whether prices would come down a
bit.
Businessmen and industrialists
agreed that the ''bloom is off the
BOOM - that a healthy readjust-
ment is underway.

STOCK MARKET:
Curbs Are Relaxed

The federal e board had
taken an action that should make
the ribbon clerks" very happy.
Ribbon clerks" is a name ap-
Piled by stock market operators to
amateurs who seek to engage in
the fascinating business OF trying
to make several bucks grow where
only one grew originally.
THE FEDERAL reserve board
ruling was that the down payment
on purchase of stocks would be re-
duced from rs per cent to so per
cent.
The board had been presumed
for several months by the New York
stock exchange, its president, Emil
Schramm, and securities dealers
generally. They had complained
that the previous restrictions had
thrown markets into the doldrums
and that trading had remained at
an unusually low level for months.
THIS WAS CONSIDERED as
strong indication the board be-
lieved initiation had ceased to
dominate the economic situation.
Earlier, the board had relaxed
restrictions on installment-buying
credit, giving a longer term for in
stallments on purchases of auto
mobiles, furniture. refrigerators,
washing machines.

RENT BILL:
Buck Was Passed

The rent control question was red
hot. Congress knew it. The people
knew it. But something had to be
done before controls expired March
81. Congress had to do something.
1t did. 1t passed the buck.
A rent control bill was drafted
by the 81st congress, but it laid
in the laps of state governors and
legislatures the real power and re-
s~ponsibility for rent controls.
EVERYTHING congress wrote
into the present bill can be nullified
by a governor or a legislature, if
they see fit.
The bill continues rent controls
for Is months, or to June 80, 1850.
1t sets up a 'home rule" process
for decontrol of states, cities, or
other local areas. Legislatures
could remove controls throughout
a state, or in parts of a state. A
city government, or ruling body of
other communities, could pass a
IeSOluLlOIl CdllIlS AOi oSSOiiehO'
and, if the state governor approved
it, then the federal government
would be forced to abolish controls
in that community.
The bill requires the housing ex-
pediter to fix rents so as to insure
landlords a fair net operating in
come . . as far as practicable"
However, it restores old OPA
powers for the rent eXpediter to
control evictions. This, some con-
gressmen said, would prevent any
mass evictions by landlords.
UNDER THE MEASURE, the
housing expediter is authorized to
sue a landlord for three times the
amount of any charge made against
a tenant above the legal rent cell
ing. Under old law, the tenant had
that power, but seldom used it.
The new act does not authorize
further Is per cent voluntary in
eas in rents, and %recontrols
any dwellings decontrolled under
such voluntary leases, at the rent
figure contained in such leases.
Veterans priority for first chance
to rent or buy a new property are
in the bill.

services committee on his appoint
ment of Mon c. Wallgren TO head
up the national security resources
board. Mr.. Truman has served no.
tice the fight is not over.
DESPITE THE FACT that senate
policy and tradition seldom has
taken such a matter to the floor
after committee disapproval, it
was understood that Mr. Truman
was planning to have the issue
taken from the committee and
fought out on the floor of the sem
ate. Such procedure has been fol-
lowed, but only rarely. as senate
history shows.
The committee, in declining to
approve the Wallgren appointment,
stated its position was taken only
because of its conviction that Mr..
Wallgren was not fitted, either by
experience or ability. to hold down
the vital key post in the national
defense setup.
Truman associates said that if
other means fail, they expect the
President to urge Willard Tydings.

the committee blackballing Wall

CONFERENCE
Tbof's ALL Folks

The Cultural and Scientific Con
ference for World Peace had ended
without any specifically untoward
incidents, barring a lot of booing
and a borrowing by rightist ele'
ments of the leftist techniques OF
picketing and heckling.
A DELEGATION of Eve Com.
munists representing Russia had
attended, among them the great
composer Dmitri Shostakovich.
Many had argued the Reds should
have been denied attendance, de-
spite Shostakovich's presence
among them. But calmer heads
prevailed, and the Russians came.
But, it appeared, they weren't
ready to go home when the parley
was over. In fact, the 18 foreign
delegates were all set to make a
nationwide speaking tour and then
return home, las soon as possible
as they put it.
HOWEVER, us. Attorney Gen.
eral Tom Clark notified immigra-
ton officials in New York to see
to it that the delegates, Russians
and all, leave the United States as
soon as they could make arrange
ments.
The sever Russian delegates
were notified that their visas did
not allow them to tour the nation;
but the state department indicated
it would consider any application
for an extension of their visas.
THE SPONSORS of the peace
conference" said they did not know
what the Russian delegates planned
to do, but a spokesman said it was
expected all four eastern European
nations delegates would depart
shortly.
