BY Moi. Thomos N. kiol-

The Rankin pension bill now sits
In the Senate Finance Committee
where hearings will be held TO
determine whether it may even
tually become law or die.
The first Rankin bill, measure
much more expensive than this
second one, was killed when the
House voted to send it back to
committee by one vote. 1t was
estimated to cost s125. 900, 900 900
for its first so years of operation.
The new one. say fiscal experts,
will cost S65 900, 600, 900 over the
same period-if it becomes law.
When Chairman Rankin of the
House Veterans Committee, was
asked what he thought about the
House sending his first pension
bill back to committee. he said.
THAT kills this legislation for this
Congress"
But the next day he introduced
. baby pension bill. by request"
And that is the bill which the
House passed June /. by a vote
of 365-27.
However, this does not mean the
bill will become law. Its cost is
high enough to guarantee its run
ming into plenty of trouble on the
floor of the Senate. even If the
Finance Committee pushes 1t that
far. If 1t does, and If the Senate
app1oves it, the bill still has to
svait President Truman's sigma
ture. And 1t is a fact that the
bill in its present form is mot in
accord with the Presidents pro-
gram"
The bill does four things, rough
ly. Here they are:
/. 1t writes into law (and
slightly changes) existing Vet
erans' Administration regulations
covering payment of pension to
veterans of both wars for their
non-service-connected disabilities
2. 1t guarantees $72 a month
pension to veterans who reach the
age Of 65, regardless of their abil-
ity to work. provided their incomes
are within certain annual ceilings
(to be mentioned.
3. 1t raises the annual income
which a single veteran or a widow
without dependents may get and
still be entitled to pension. That
is 81 900 a year now. It would go
to $1,000 a year under this bill.
If there are dependents, the ceiling
remains at $4,000.
4. It bars payment OF any pen
sion to any person advocating the
overthrow of our Government by
force or violence.
When the bill came out of the
Veterans Affairs Committee 1t
contained a provision that all vet
Grams would have to show unem-
ployability in order to rate the
pension. This didn't please Chair
man Rankin. and apparently it
didn't please the House, either,
because that provision was re-
moved, for the 65-year-olds and
older.
Veterans younger than IS. how
ever, still would have to prove
unemployability in order to rate
their pension of $50 a month Cthis
goes to $72 after 10 continuous
years Of total and permanent dis
ability-or, naturally. when the
veteran reaches 65) .... 80.
Here are the regulations which
the new bill would write into law:
l. Veterans under IS must have

at least a so per cent single dis
ability rating. or a 40 per cent
disability along with one or more
others totaling 10 per cent. to rate
the $50 person-plus being unem-
ployable and having an income
under the ceiling.
2. At age $3.50. veterans must
have one or a combination of dis
abilities equaling so per cent. plus
being unemployable, etc.
3. And at age so. a so per cent
rating for one or more disabilities,
plus unemployability and income
under the ceilings are necessary.

Amid the overwhelming cries for
help of the overweights come re-
quests for help from the thin
woman.
These run through the general
picture much like a certain thread
Of color runs through tapestry.
The problems of the underweight
woman are just as real and trou-
blesome to her as the bulges are
to her fat sister.
So, every once in while give
a resume of the principles OF gain
ing weight and the exercises which
develop the spots she is usually
worried about, namely: Bust, neck,
arms and calves.
Here are a few rules for the
underweight girl or woman:
l. Get plenty of sleep, at least
nine hours a night.
2. Do not hurry.
3. Do not worry.
4. Take short rest periods dur
ing the day whenever possible.
S. Relax completely before
meals if this is at all possible.
This means going into a room
alone, lying down with eyes closed.
no interruptions and complete
relaxation for a half hour or at
least Is minutes before q meal
whenever you can.
6. Have complete physical
examination to determine whether
there is any systemic or organic
trouble.
7. Take mild exercise. Relaxing
exercises, walking and swimming
are fine.
8. Take exercises for bust de-
velopment If you need them, also
some to develop the calves. These
are mild exercises but If done
faithfully will improve the situa-
ton.
9. Be certain that your diet is
we'll balanced and is vitamin and
mineral rich. Vitamin deficiency
is one reason for underweight.
Often the thin woman stuffs her
self on rich. high-calorie foods to
the neglect of fruits and vege-
tables, with disastrous results.
10. Take vitamin B-complex
capsules. or take brewers yeast
daily. This is a cheap source Of
vitamin B family. Ask your doc
tor how many to take.
II. Eat five smaller meals rather
than three big ones, If your appe-
tite or digestion are faulty.
This exercise develops the calf.

up as well as she can afford.
Fashion, in word, filters steadily
down in the social scale. The
ornate costume which is designed
to attract the attention OF the
vulgar is worn in the company
of people on a higher level OF
culture, education and wealth,
succeeds in becoming vulgar in
itself. The only possible excuse is
the eccentric woman OF great
wealth who dresses as she wishes
and gets away with it because the
whole personality is concidered
not the fashion.
The good tailor achieves the
effect psychologically for his client
today by the very lack Of fam
boyance. The perfection Of de-
sign is established in simplicity
and discretion. Nothing can COM
pensate for the lack Of real"
materials, real pearls. real silk,
real lace, etc. In other words the
materials employed must be diff
cult or laborious to produce. 1t
is in this way that one proves
to the world and to oneself that
the position on the social scale
is a high one.
Psychologically we seek some
thing else in fashion. We want
clothes to be designed so that
they clearly indicate that the per-
son is so far removed from menial
work that the very clothes can
even impede physical work. Dress
of this kind marks the wearer
at once as a member of the leis-
sure class. The arm and hand
have been incapacitated by long.
trailing sleeves, very tight, or
fashioned to fall below the hand.
The hand itself must be carefully
tended and nails pointed and pol
ished, kept clean, rings and brace
lets added to sustain the genteel
appearance. Gloves give further
evidence of leisure. Perhaps the
most effective guarantee of social
standing is obtained by means of
impractical footwear designed for
getting in and out Of chauffeur
driven cars, certainly not for long
walks or even driving oneself.
Fashion goes through many Diff
ferent positions. The following
list might well be established to
indicate how your current special

C0MMENDS QUAKER REPORT ON
AMERICAN SOVIET RELATIONS
By JOHN McGUFFEY, Roman

By JOHN McGUFFEY, Roman
| have recently read the report on
American-Russian relations by the
working committee of the executive
board of the American Friends
(Quaker) Service committee They
have worked on this report for sew
eral months and made a thorough
study of the problems involved. 1t
is constructive report. This group
was awarded the Nobel peace prize
last year.
They start out by stating the fact
that because of religious and moral
convictions they do not believe in
war, nor the preparedness for war.
But, they say, that aside from these
beliefs, there are plenty of practical
arguments as to why the United
States and Russia should have peace
full relations. They point out why
peace is so essential at this time and
believe it is possible for the United
States and the Soviets to come to
peaceful understal ding. Then they
recommend policies that the United
States should follow in accomplish
ing this result.

"And the thoughts of men are wild

Forty million young Americans
have reached voting age since the
Republican party gained national
election. (No one Intentionally bets
on a losing horse.) There are a
dwindling host who still think it may
rise again. Irish folklore AYERS that

them contributed to the propaganda
of hate. We know that fear and
hate create dangerous state OF
mind. Men do not think straight
when they are scared.
1t must be remembered that the
Germans turned to Hitler because
of depression and fear of Commun-
ism. 1t was the business and pro-
fessional classes who voted to put
Hitler in power. Church leaders,
both Catholic and Protestant sup
ported Hitler during the campaign.
The Germans did this, because they
were unable to think straight when
they were scared.
At the present time, fear and pre-
paration for war are going to make
recovery and prosperity an impossi-
bility. Who is going to invest their
money in constructive enterprise
when they are fearful of war? In
this country vast sums are being
boarded in the banks. In foreign
countries savings are being convert
ed into gold which is being hidden
away. In a recent issue of TIME
it stated that gold is sell
ing for as high as $40 an ounce in
the free gold marts of India, China,
France and more than a dozen other
nations. The US. Government pays
only $35 an ounce. 1t is readily
seen how great the scramble is to
hoard gold. This state of mind makes
impossible anywhere, no
matter how much money the us.

Park County Unhappy Over Board
Of Examiners Decision
Politics Are Funny-So Are
People

The Park County News carried
copy of minutes of State Board OF
Examiners, November %, when they
selected Lewistown as site for the
home for the aged; locating same on
a 40-acre tract although the board
repeatedly stressed the fact they did
not want farm of just a few acres.
Here is how the members of the
board voted-with 80 sites to pick
from-each member named four
cities.
Governor Bonner: Lewistown,
Hamilton, Missoula and Glendive.
Secretary of State Mitchell: Jol-
let, Laurel, st. Ignatius, Kalispell.
Attorney General Olsen: Living
ston and Deer Lodge, Townsend, and
Hot Springs.
On the second vote with each mem
Der picking two locations:
Bonner: Lewistown and Hamilton.
Olsen: Deer Lodge and Livingston.
Mitchell: Joliet and Laurel.
Then the board carefully studied
the advantages and disadvantages of
each of the six sites and unanimously
selected two-Lewistown and Living
ston. They then considered the adj
vantages and disadvantages of the
two and Livingston was eliminated.
How was the boards decision ar
rived at? Probably the same as the
division of the $5,000,000 school
bond issue, and that is why Judge
Padbury issued an injunction so the
facts could be brought out into the
open so the citizens of the state get
value received where it is needed.
Good idea.
The above voting reminds me of
a story Charles Burg, Republican
in Park county told years
ago: "The precinct committeeman
old Charles, 4 need ten dollars to
throw dutch lunch in my precinct |
'or our candidate Charley gave |
lin the ten bucks and believe it not,
Charley said my candidate did not
wen get the vote of the man | gave
he ten dollars to-"
Politics are funny and so are the
hedges of candidates for political
ffice. Judge them by their records
ot their promises. Governor Bon
er stayed with Lewistown on every
allot while Attorney General Olsen
tayed with Livingston. Mitchell,
18th Joliet as his first choice Meth
r Bonner or Mitchell voted for Liv-
lgston on any ballot, according to
linutes published in Park County
