ship. These items, however, have
lower visibility since they usually
are a series of hundreds of nibbles.
But with the car the expenditure
involves ONE BIG BITE.
Substantiating his statement, Mr..
wiles points out than since 1941
many food prices, and clothing and
household furnishing prices, have
increased proportionally more than
car prices. Furthermore the Ma
tion's total income, after taxes, as
well as per capita income after
taxes, have gone up more than have
automobile prices. Thus, the pur-
chase of new car today, despite
the drap in used car prices, still
represents a lower percentage of
the per caipta income than it did
in 1941.
1t is difficult to escape the logic
of such statements showing that
Mr.. Average American pays pro-
portionately less today for car
than he did Immediately prior to
the war.

How Long Can We Stand
For This Stuff?

The United Nations General AS
sembly has been operating in New
York. The principal Russian Com
munists have made foul speeches
in which they have again accused
the Western powers of seeking
"militaristic and strategic inter-
ests."
President Truman has said that
he ordered the atomic bomb to be
used over Japan and he will order
it back into battle again, if neces-
sary. Hats off to Harry!
washington, D. c., agrees that
the atomic bomb boys may be told
to turn loose on Russia.
The real reason of the movement
in Congress to cut down expenses
pledged by the Marshall Plan and
its allied organization is the pos
sibility that war with Russia is
''just around the corner"

States which if enacted into laws
would hit the publishers of Family
Weekly and Daily Newspapers in
communities of from 1900 to 5000
population, below the belt.
Congressman Russell v. Mack of
the State of Washington has gone
to bat for the publishers of Fam
lily Newspapers. He has taken up
the question of price boosts of pub
fishers postage rates with the Post
Office Department and he says that
the rates that have been asked for
in the bills before Congress are a
serious threat to publishers.
The present rate of newspaper
postage for city deliverey within a
county is l cent per pound. The
proposed rate is 4 cents per pound.
Rural delivery within the county
is free. The proposed rate is l
cent.
These figures indicate that the
proposed rates would add up to a
boost of 500 per cent and probably
700 per cent.
In the opinion of Congress Mack
more increases of rates on editions
of newspapers carrying a profitable
amount of advertising could give
postal authorities the power to re-
woke the second class mail rate to
publishers.
The statement made in the House
of Representatives in protest OF
this threat to Weekly Newspapers
prompted Congressman Mack to
notify the publishers of Washing
bton State just what they are uI
against. He says that the high cost
of reading would be as disastrous
as the high cost of living.
Our publishers everywhere are
up against a real proposition thai
the lawmakers declares "woulC
weaken the 10,500 Weekly News
papers of our country and bring
financial difficulties to most o
them."
Why not write to Congressman
Mack and back him up?

A Look At Car Prices

A rather different and refresh
ingly logical approach to current
discussions on automobile prices
has come to our attention. 1t orig
mates, to be sure, from an auto
manufactures but instead of being
defense" of prices, as it were,
it is a simple delineation of basic
facts. It is worth repeating here.
The public's perspective on au-
tomobile prices at present, says
Mr.. Ivan l.. Wiles, general man
aser of Buick, probably is consid-
erably distorted for several rea-
sons. First of all the recent down
ward adjustment in used car prices
was sudden and severe. For the
first time in eight years a buyer
now has to pay substantial re-
placement cost for a new car. This
is q drastic change from a long
period during which the exchange
for a new car often could be made
without cash outlay. The present
condition actually is the one which
we always have considered normal
but nevertheless the sudden shift
caused sort of psychological re-
action in the buyers mind. 1t might
be called a state of buying shock
from which, of course, the patient
will recover when he realizes the
current situation is really normal,
The situation at present, how
ever. is accentuated by the high Wis
ibility of car prices, says Mr.. Wiles
Sometimes we forget that the pur
chase of a car, so far as money ]:
concerned, rates next in impor

Washington Letter
The Strangest Story Ever Told
By ]. E. JONES

The Strangest Story Ever Told
Herbert Hoover was at one time
President of the United States. He
had just about as much trouble as
other Presidents. In private life
he has paid little attention to poll
tics.
When Congress asked him to
make an examination into top af-
fairs of the Government of the
United States he came back, and
arose to new heights. Believe it or
not, Hoover and his Committee
made an exhaustive study to find
out what is wrong with the Ameri-
can Government. They reported
that the Government is being run
on a very extravagant and waste
full method and we are spending
billions of dollars on Military, Ma
val and Air Force programs. The
whole Administration and Con-
gress in Washington agrees with
Hoover.
It is the first time since he was
defeated for reelection that Her.
bert Hoover has been acclaimed.
Herbert Hoover may still be
crowned Lord of All"

Maybe This Is The worst COngress


WASHINGTON, D. C.-April %
When Congress convened there
was a determination on the part of
President Truman, seconded by his
Democratic leaders, to carry into
effect a great many changes in
Government affairs. This corre-
snondenG has previously called at
tention to the recommendations of
President Truman And, as mat
ter of fact the Democratic party
has made many attempts to deliver
the goods. But President Truman
issued such big orders that the
Congress could not deliver his pro-
gram.
In the field of foreign affairs the
Democratic and Republican MEM
bers of Congress have shown dis
position to go along with the Pres
ident because he resents the Rus
sian ruffians-and tells Stain &
Co. where to get of.
But the President has been un-
able to order the Congress around
whenever labor legislation comes
up, and the Taft-Hartley Law is
attacked. The whole idea is to
make new laws that will deny the
Republican party the credit for
legislation that is fair to employers
and unions. Everybody knows that
President Truman is sweating
blood to keep the labor union vote
safe for the Democratic party. But
he doesn't know how to turn the
trick.
Mr.. Truman is doing his best
but that isn't very much!
The chances are that no tax bill
will be passed at this session
despite MIR. Truman's efforts to
boost taxes into thicker and high
