This Changing World
Hoover Put Finger of the Nerve Center
OfCommunism in Attack on Spending

which collectivism is accomplished
in fact when it cannot be ac-
complished in name.
It is the ability of the Govern
ment to take in taxation from
those who have and to subsidize
by spending those who do not have
which Is the Aoot cause OF our
trouble. The power to tax long
has been recognized as the power
to destroy. And when this power
is coupled with Government res
ponsiveness to self-interested pres
sure groups the groundwork Is
laid for the many to. pull down
the few to their own level.
1t is not a question OF depriving
the Government of the power to
tax at will and the power to spend
at will. These are powers with
out which no government would
be a government. But 1t is a ques-
ton of restraint, both in the exer-
else of the power to tax and the
power to spend. and of tending
off the pressures by certain seq
ments of our body polite which
enjoy their influence by virtue
of their numbers and their power
at the polls.
Question of Education. .
1t is a question, as Mr.. Hoover
pointedly states, of education of
the younger generation as it takes
it's place on the scene of our
American life, education in the
repressive nature of the collec-
twist state and the degree to
which it deprives the individual
Of his power to advance on his
own initiative, except as he con-
forms to the channels laid down
by those who direct the collectivist
state.
The difficulty appears to be to
bring the explanation of this con-
nection between extreme taxation
and spending on the one side and
collectivization on the other down
to the level Of the man and woman
even the children-in the street,
who are not versed in the eco
nomics of government. Mr..
Hoover's address was lucid and
clear to that educated upper class
which deals daily in economic and
political affairs. But it probably
did not register with the working
man at his BENCH the miner in
his shaft, and the farmer in his
fields.
We all have a deep interest in
the outcome of this struggle be-
tween the forces which would
drive us to the collective state
without our knowing it and those
which seek to preserve the Amer
ican system of free enterprise and
free opportunity for all.

the heat except when they call on
the President. He doesn't care for
air ir-conditioning; shuts the blame
thing off and opens the windows:
says he feels just fine and is happy
to be here.
Set for Endurance Test.
So the Democratic leaders say
if the opposition wants to make 1t
an endurance test, it's all right
with them. Their program has
been moving slowly, they say. but
1t has been moving. It will be pos
sible to show q record of accom-
plishment before the first session
Of the 81st Congress adjourns.
One situation that helped pre-
cipitate the decision to carry on as
long as necessary, so it is reported,
is that in the Senate Judiciary
Committee. There Senator Nc
Carran of Nevada, exercising his
power as chairman, has been
holding up action on a bill passed
months ago by the House to liber-
alize the conditions under which
displaced persons in Europe may
be admitted to this country. More
than enough votes are available
to pass the bill in the Senate, but
a vote cannot be had without dis
charging the committee from any
further consideration. This is
something Senators never like to
do. They have been especially re-
luctant to do it in Senator Nc
Carran's case, since he, by reason
of the same Craftsmanship, is also
able to block action on a number
of judicial appointments in which
Senators are interested.
The Policy Committee agreed It
was time to get tough with Sena-
tor McCarran-and any other in
territorial obstructionists. In this
mood, it was also agreed to keep
Congress in session month or
two longer.

May Be the Weather.
Earlier in the session, as the
program began to meet with OBJ
structions and delays. the admin
|istration men announced they
would fight it out on this line If
lit takes all SUMMER" Now they
say they will adhere to that
course If it takes all summer and
September besides. Some of them
even add October.
One reason for this state Of
mind may be the weather. In
other years the weather in Wash
ington has been a principal ex-
cuse for quitting. The wary Con-
gressmen had to get away from
the heat and humidity: had to get
home to relax beneath their own
shade trees. But this year condi-
tions weatherwise are no better
at home, for most Of them, than
conditions here. Washington has
had a hot summer, but, in that
respect, things have been tough

lightning Joe' Collins Has One
Creed: Never Stop Driving
Few u. S. Generals
Can Match Record
As Combat Leader
BY HoI Boyle
Associotsd Press Stoff Writer

NEW YORK.-Gen. j. Lawton
Collins, the new Army Chief Of
Staff, earned his nickname -
Lightning Joe"-on many battle
fields.
The graying, 53-year-old soldier
one of the handsomest men in
the Army-was one of the most
colorful and energetic field COM
manders of World War II.
He was tough and cool and won
his battles first hand. He ran
his famous 7th Corps as efficiently
as any top business executive. An
all around soldier. he could plan
battle. fight it through-and
encourage his own front line
troops with his presence.
This was his battle formula:
"Outguess the enemy. keep him
off balance and never stop driv-
ing"
Some generals are boxers. and
some are punchers. lightning
Joe" is a puncher. 1t was his
faculty of sustained drive that led
Gen. Bradley to give him the
critical battle assignments that
built his fame.
Few Can Match Record.
And few generals in American
history can match his combat rec
ord. His victories stretch from
Guadalcanal to the Elbe. Gen.
Collins came to Europe after sue
cessfully completing the mopup
of japanese on Guadalcanal and
New Guinea.
His 7th Corps seized Utah Beach
in Normandy. It freed Cherbourg,
the first French metropolis liber-
ated from the Nazis. 1t broke the
crust at st. Lo. 1t was first to
crack the Siegfried Line and cap
ture major German city
Aachen. It took Cologne. too, ex-
panded the first bridgehead across
the Rhine at Remagen and at
wars end linked up with the Rus
slams along the Elbe.
But lightning joe" who never
lodged a scrap. once got into a
fight he wasn't looking for.
Happened at Bulge.
It happened in the Battle Of
the Bulge" in Belgium in Decem-
ber, 1914. The German break
through imperiled the American
line of communications and Gen.
Eisenhower temporarily put his
1st and 9th Armies under the
field leadership of Field Marshal
Montgomery.
Monty Immediately named

corps. This corps was to be used
as counterblow at the right
time-when the German drive had
been contained. But in the mean
time it was under strict orders to
refrain from attack.

corps was the Hell on Wheels"
