Politics For The Economists

suggestions. Some observers
thought they detected isolation
ism in administration circles or
antagonism between the econ
omists and the military leaders.
The President found it neces-
sary a couple of days later to
say fatty at his press confer
ence that he had no intention of
deducting the cost of Atlantic
Pact arms from the administra-
tion's present military budget.
One economist, commenting on
Nourse's unhappy position, said
the development proved cit is
impossible to divorce politics
from economics - they are part
of the same thing"
Meanwhile a controversy con-
tinues within the council itself.
Keyserling and Clark have sup
ported the Presidents plea for
standby controls to combat any
renewal of initiation. Nourse,
feeling that we are now in a
state of healthy "disinflation",
doesn't feel that such controls
should now be adopted.
This kind of situation was
anticipated by the Hoover Com
mission on Organization of the
Executive Branch. The commits
sion said the Council is handi-
capped by being a multi-head-
ed body. The commission recon-
mended that the council "be
replaced by an Office of the
Economic Adviser and that it
have a single head"
An economist who worked
with the commission said that
this report was submitted to the
White House before it was re-
leased and received a favorable
review.

alton has been much the same
as in France. Nc marked i'm
be increasing as the balance of
exports over imports continues
to rise.
Greece alone of the coun-
tries being helped has shown
no Improvement on the invest
ment side, according to ECA
officials. The continuing war
fare there drains the resources
of the nation.
But for the Marshall Plan
countries as a whole there is a
great outpouring of native in
vestment capital. They will
spend about $4,000, 000, 900 this
fiscal year to modernize facto-
ries and farms, build new plants
homes and transportation ia
cilities.
This means they will be taxi
ing about 20 per cent of their
national incomes and blowing
it back into business. In average
periods of prosperity such in
vestment is usually around Is
per cent of Income. To raise it
to 20 per cent, the countries
will have to maintain reduced
living standards for some years
yet, denying themselves a lot
of consumer goods.
The business outlook has to
be good, and the peoples faith
in their countries future must
be strong to impel them to in
vest on such a scale. Even in
the United States in some years
of the depression sos the de-
probation of plant values was
larger than the total of gross
investment.

Letters ~Europe's

Editor,
Chronicles Star,
Dear Sir:
On May 18th a group of the
Hurley school patrons mel to
protest the dismissal, by two of
the trustees, of Mr.. j. j. Mel
vim, principal of the school for
the past three years.
Prior to this meeting a petit
ton signed by 264 patrons go
per cent? had been presented
to the trustees requesting them
to retain MI. Melvin as he had
done an exceedingly good job
as a principal. The building and
school grounds have been inn
proved under his guidance ard
enthusiastically the school has
also advanced. He is also very
active in church and commu-
nifty activities. It is to be re-
GREETED that the community is
to lose an outstanding school
man.
Since the interest of our
school is of first Importance
we pledge to the new principal
our full cooperation and sup
port in maintaining the high
standards and efficiency estab-
lished by Mr.. Melvin.
Respectively yours,

The Democratic controlled
Senate is giving the same run
around to the bill that would
repeal the outrageous and dis
criminatory taxes on oleomar-
garine as did the Republican
controlled Senate last year.
The House has passed the bill.
but due to a press of legisla-
ton leaders predict that it
will die in the senate without
action. That is exactly what
happened last year. The press
of legislation stripped of its
VOLTS clothing is the same old
butter and dairy lobby making
the same old political deal. The
taxes on oleo, which allows the
dairy interests to maintain but
ter at inflated prices, will con
tinue because the Senate plays
its same sordid game Of you

yours" and it makes little diff
ference whether they're Demo-

It's a funny world. Grand
Dragon Samuel Green of the

mayor of a small Georgia town
had the courage TO rip the
masks off the faces of three

charges of disturbing the peace.
The sneaking, bully-b boy, strong

have been responsible for more
brutality and violation of basic
civil rights than possibly any
other organization in the Unit

BY CLARKE BEACH

WASHINGTON - The Presi-
dents Council of Economic Ad-
visors started out with a noble
intention - to keep out of pol
itics. But now the advisers
know that a top official in
Washington is bound to be in
politics regardless of whether
he wants to be.
DR.. Edwin G.. Nourse. the
councils chairman, is reported
to have sponsored, late in 1916,
the idea that the council should
remain aloof from the machin-
cry of government. The other
two members of the council ac-
quiesced for a year and a half,
The council had been urged to
testify before the Congressional
Joint Committee on the Eco
homie Report, to discuss with
the members of the councils
semi-annual statement to the
President. But when Senator
Taft, then committee chairman,
was told of the councils wish
not to be involved in a contro-
versy which was bound to have
political implications, he did
not insist that they appear.
But last summer two of the
councilmen began to talk. Leon
H. Keyserling testified before a
congressional committee on be-
half of the administrators
authorization bill. John D. Clark
testified before another con-
g%ressional committee.
When the new chairman of
the Joint Committee on the Eco
nomic Report, Senator O'Ma-
honey, renewed the invitation
to the council this session. Key
serling and Clark agreed to tes-
tify. They ardently supported
the administrations anti-infla-
ton program, and the brick
bats began to fly. Legislators,
ad writers, columnists and
speakers took issue with them.
They found it necessary to de-
fend their position publicly
Keyserling even wrote a letter
to a newspaper about it.
Nourse never testified before
Congress. But he began to make
speeches. Former Secretary of
Defense Forrestal urged him to
give talks on economics at two
orientation courses in the Pen
tagon, to be attended by top
military and civilian leaders.
Nourse was dubious and talked
to President Truman about it.
The President is reported to
have told him to go ahead. The
speeches were to have been
off-the-record. But when some
of his listeners related what
they had heard, Nourse gave
out copies in order to keep the
record straight.
His second speech. on April
5, touched off a political explo-
sion. He spoke of the North At
lantic pact and of providing
arms for the pact nations. He
said it wouldn't be economical
ly safe simply to add such an
expense to the present govern
ment budget. Promptly the
foes of the administration
turned Nourse's argument to
their own uses. Anti Marshall
Plan forces, anti Atlantic Pact
legislators and economy-mind-
ed members of Congress all
found ammunition in Nourse's

of Jewish cultural and educa-
tional activities ready for them

DORE SCHARY

shoulders, "he is still one of us"
a studio writer told me the other
day. $50 far as we are con-
cerned, Dore remains what he
must be to all who know him -
a great leader, real friend, a
regular guy"
Sitting with Dore Schary in his
luxurious office at MGM among
his scripts and other papers that
bulged from cases and shelves.
l was impressed instantly with
his deep sympathy for all human
striving, his tolerance for people
no matter what they may be up
to, and his especial delight in
human beings and matters that
derive their inspiration from
roots that spread fan-like
through the earth, outstanding all
particles that contribute to the
Towering of human affairs.
An utterly unselfish man, who
affects no poses, whose cheerful
countenance is eloquent testi-
mony of faith in life, whose clear
eyes flash wisdom and sympathy,
whose voice is pleasant and earn
est, Dore Schary, whose spirit is
not likely to ever grow old, con-
ceives it to be his business in the
world not especially to make
motion pictures, but particularly
to spread ideas and good think
ing with the view of contribut-
ing his share of human happi-
ness and enlightenment.
A motion picture leader so Wig
orous, honest, and Individual is
peculiarly American. Dore
Schary is one of the giant pillars
of the film industry, very
young man still. Remember his
name and watch his progress.

New York Bulldogs Get Loyne
From Bears as Grid War Brews

It viii be none other than Bobby
Layne, T-formation quarterback
from the University Of Texas who
has been called the greatest passer
produced by the Southwest since
Sammy Baugh came to throw for
the Washington Redskins. Layne
comes to the Bulldogs from the
Chicago Bears for a bundle Of
cash and two players. Ted Col
Inns, owner Of the Bulldogs. calls
the deal the biggest in the his
tory of the National League"
Just who the two other players
involved in the deal are hasn't
been announced, nor was the
amount of cash disclosed. Collins
indicated, however. that George
Halas of the Bears is being well
rewarded for his part in the deal
to strengthen the Bulldogs. Halas
didn't strip himself entirely of
T-formation passing talent as he
still has Sid Luckman and Johnny
Lujack. Layne was with the Bears
last season but saw little action
because of injury and because OF
those other quarterbacks.
It is certain that the Bulldogs
can use all the big-name talent
they can get in their part Of the
war between the National League
and the All-America. They have
several conflicting dates with the
Al-America entry in New York
and the battle for cash customers
is expected to be a tough one. The

ton to New York, don't have many
