PATERNALISM IN GOVERNMENT

Somehow, most of us get shared in some
of these schemes and movements that the
Government is edged, into-which in the
end have been switching us into new path
ways of life.
General Eisenhower gave out an inter-
view the other day in which he declared his
opposition to the Administration Federal
Aid to Education and he accompanied his
remarks with warning that this new side
stepping is increasing dangers of "paternal-
ism" in Government ways of life.
The General said that he firmly believes
that the army of persons who want greater
and greater Capitalization of authority and
greater dependence on the Federal Treasury
are really backing up dangerous changes in
our form of Government.
He hits the nail on the head in declaring
that blanket Federal aid would result in
competitive spending and would complete
ly decry and defeat the watchful economy
that results from local supervision over Local
revenues"
in short" he continued, unless we are
careful even the great and necessary educa.
tion processes in our country. will become vet
another vehicle by the believers in paternal
ism, if not outright socialism, will NEAR
still additional power for the central Gov
ernment." We believe General Eisenhower,
warning is timely and right.

WHO is RUNNING OUR GovERNMENTq

Evidently President Truman is in doubt
that he received mandate from the peo-
pie" when he was elected last November.
The Congress seems to have mandates" of
their own.
Administration spOkesmen for the new
and revised labor legislation seem to believe
that the President already has powers that
can be enforced without new legislation, to
seize struck manufacturing plants. The Pres
ident has power to step into strike and
hold up proceedings and get court injunc-
tiOn against strike.
Right now there are lot of new strikes
of top Importance, and some lesser labor
differences in different parts of the country.
There is lot of big talk about the rights of
the labor bosses and the President to take
matters into their own hands, FDR style.
Senator Taft calls things by the right name.
He says that jobbery by Unions and the head
of the Government would bring on the down
fall of our legislative system"

Beecham Draws Fire
With Attack on Opera
BY the Associated Press

BRISTOL, England, Jan. 1.-Two
big men in British music took ex-
ception yesterday to Sir Thomas
Beecham's remarks about the man
agement of London's Covent Gar
den, the national opera.
Sir Thomas, most volatile as we'll
as one Of the ablest British con-
ductors, told the annual conference
OF the incorporated Society of Musi-
clans Wednesday that management
Of the opera needed investigating.
There is far too much resem-
blance to a racket" he declared.
Sir Thomas protested that the
trustees of the opera included no
persons who knew anything about
opera or had practical experience in
1t, and that there was not a single
British musician on the opera panel
Absolute nonsense" retorted Les
lie Boosey, music publisher, today
He went to see his lawyer. -
Mr.. Booseys firm leases Covent
Garden to the trust that runs the
opera. He said his company was
losing money on the deal.
Sir Steuart Wilson, British Broad
casting Corp. director Of music and
member of the opera trust, said
Sir Thomas didn't have all his facts
straight. though he had offered to
supply him the information before
he spoke.

Dr.. Crane Sees Home
Stability Threatened
By 'Intemperances'

The stability of the American
home is threatened by "intemper-
ances which exist In every facet of
modern living" DR.. George w.
Crane, Northwestern University psy-
chologist, told nearly 1000 persons
IN Constitution Hall last night
DR.. Crane, author of college texts
In psychology. spoke under auspices
OF the American Temperance So
ctety. The mass meeting climaxed
four-day national convention held
by that organization in Sligo Sew
enth-Day Adventist Church, in Ia
koma Park. Md
Incorporate eating, racial and re-
ligiouS intolerances, unguided men,
tai and emotional habits and the
drinking of alcoholic liquors were
classified by DR.. Crane as being
among the "menacing intemper-
ances which threaten the happiness
and security of coming generations"
THE greatest danger to our civil
lization lies in the fact that mod
crate drinking is coming to be held
as an important complement to
gracious living by our middle class"
he added.
DR.. Crane declared that alcohol
ism is not disease but simply q
bad habit that one gets into" He
remarked that any man who tends
to run from his problems, instead
Of standing still and smuggling them
out" is potential alcoholic.
DR.. Crane charged that various
private and Government organiza.
lions are interested in the care and
cure of alcoholics, while little at
tention is being given to preventing
the development of a new genera
ton of alcoholics"
Clinics or cures are worthy as
far as they CO." DR.. Crane comment
ed, but, at best. the procedure is
reminiscent Of shutting the barn
door after the horse has escaped.
All organizations must cooperate in
every way possible to teach our
youth to resist the artful propa1
ganda of the day, and pledge total
abstinence from liquor"
Representative Bryson, Democrat,
OF South Carolina, spoke of q bill
once introduced by former Senator
Capper Of Kansas which would have
prohibited liquor advertising from
passing through the mails. Mr..
Bryson said he would make some
amendments to this bill and re-
Introduce 1t in the 81st Congress.

Scientists OF World
Urged TO Pool &ilIs
For Peace and Plenty
By the Assoeioted Press

LAKE SUCCESS, N. Y, Aug. ID.
The worlds scientists were urged
yesterday to pool their skills to put
all nations ION the road to plenty
and the road to peace"
The "Aladdins S lamp of science"
can solve many problems OF get
ting enough food. fuel and other
things for a world with more and
more people. said Fairfield Osborn,
president of the Conservation
Foundation of New York. He
spoke before the United Nations
Scientific Conference on the Con-
servation and Utilization of Re
sources.
The conference, first of it's kind,
opened yesterday. 1t brings to-
gether 700 experts from so nations
for three weeks. Russia refused
to send any of her scientists.
Ideas to Be Shared.
Experts will share ideas on how
to save soil, develop better plants
and meat animals, how to find new
scources of oil, coal and other
materials, how to draw more food
an dmineral wealth from the sea,
and even how to use more of the
suns tenergy and how to harness
the winds and tides.
Mr.. Osborn warned that man
kind has badly misused natural
resources, and some nations face
critical shortages of vital supplies.
Half the worlds people are face
to face with want" he said. The
earths population has doubled
within the last century, and may
reach 3,000,000.00O by the year
1000. he added.
The time has come for a new
era in conservation" declared
Secretary of the Interior Krug.
Krug Cites Problems.
Certainly the greatest problem
facing the world today is that of
raising the standard of living of
the people, not just maintaining
It," he continued. This necessary
objective cannot be accomplished
by locking up our natural wealth.
1t can be accomplished, and
steady future progress can be as
sured, by the intensive concen-
tration of the worlds scientific
and engineering know-how on the
basic problem of making the most
of what we have"
Trygve Lie, u N. secretary
general, said one key to peace is
raising the living standards"
"for behind most wars stand the
specters Of hunger and want-ef-
fective warmongers of the past"
Mr.. Lie said if I'VE could really
put science and technology to
fuller use in peace as we did in
war, I believe that no one could
predict the world population
which our resources could sup
port, or the rise in the average
standard of living that would be
pOSSible."
