New York Halls Use
Of Wafer in Washing
Cars, Subway Walls
Dy the Assoeiatsd Press

NEW YORK. Dec. s.-The
worlds biggest city doesn't have
enough water today to let Its
residents wash their cars.
AS authorities worked to plug
the holes in New York's fast
emptying water barrel, new re-
strictions were imposed to con-
serve remaining supplies.
For the first time, the pinch
really was being felt directly by
the public.
All "non-essential" use of water
was out, by order of Water Com
missioner Stephen j. Carney.
He has directed:
That all automobile washing be
completely stopped"
That there be no flooding OF
tennis courts or filling of pools
for winter Ice skating.
Wall Cleaning Halted.
That the cleaning Of tiled walls
in subway stations be halted for
the duration of the shortage.
At the same time, the police
department was mobilizing an
army of several thousand civilian
water wardenS' to canvass
homes and urge dwellers to save
water.
Wearing arnbands marked "po-
lice" some of the wardens already
were on the job.
II they find leaky faucets or
residents who are wasting water,
they are to report the conditions
to authorities.
A Brooklyn magistrate collected
$40 fine from a man for wash
ing his car in front Of his home
The new restrictions stemmed
from what Mr.. Carney called an
increasingly acute situation"
Only Third Full.
The city'S upstate and west
chester County reservoirs, sapped
by unusually heavy consumption
combined with a season Of light
rainfall, were down to about 3d.

John w. Creedon, president Of
the Metropolitan Garage Board of
Trade, said the jobs of some $500
AFL car washers employed by
garages could be affected.
The save-water campaign, be-
ing pressed by newspaper and
radio, was apparently having It's

Hall and asked:

NOW FOR BETTER LIVING

Alaskans conditioned to sow-motion generated from the national capital find immense gratifica- ton in the speed with which Federal agency has gone into action Furthermore, this speed concerns matter of vital importance to this Territory.
 One of the last actions of the 8lst Congress was to approve the request of the Bureau of the Budget for supplemental appropriations bill for $l000000 in cash and $40O0000 in contract authority for the Alaska Public Works Act, thus impementing the meas ure approved August 24, 1949.
 This week. a small team from the General Services Administrations Bureau of Community Facilities op ened shop in Alaska to act on applications for Federal aid under the Alaska Public Works Act. It's spokes men avowedy eager to get through the necessary formaes so that actual construction may start early next spring.
 We consider the Public Works Act one of the most important passed by the Congress in recent years toward expediting the development of Alaska

Laughlin, saw to it that union pick cts at his plants got free hot cof- fee and doughnuts almost every night. Moreell also ordered that ,huts, equipped with electric heaters, be built for the pickets and even installed telephone in hut at the Aliquippa, Pennsylvania, plant so the strikers could communicate with union headquarters.
 Moreell also made a practice, whenever possible, of personally vis- iting the picket lines for a friendly chat. There was nothing patroniz- ing about it. The salty likable former sea dog respected the posi- tion of the strikers as much as they respected E..1.
 There were some bright moments, too, in the gruelling 52-day coal strike. In the past most company stores shut off credit during strikes. However, this year practically all the big coal companies continued credit during the long strike. In the south, several operators pro- vided hot meals for miners child ren when they heard the youngsters were going to school without break fast.
 All in all, it was a far cry from the hot tempers and tear gas of a decade ago.

SWEDISH HOSPITALITY

Those insulting digs at Swedish hospitality by. junketing Senator Elmer Thomas of Oklahoma con trasted with the story of another Senate subcommittee which visited Sweden at about the same time.
 While Senator Thomas charged that the Swedes snuhbed him, the subcommittee on housing led by able Senator John Sparkman of Alabama, returned with glowing ac- counts Of Swedish hospitality. The Sparkman subcommittee included Allen Frear of Delaware, Ralph Flanders of Vermont and John Bricker of Ohio
 Bricker proved himself a real ambassador of good will in a speech at the Stockholm City Hall, laud- ing Sweden on it's efficient housing program and the cooperation shown him and his colleagues. The white thatched Ohioan injected some American good humor into the pro ceedings by denying that Senator Frear was his son-even if the Deleware Democrat did call his Pop"
 Bricker later got big hand in Rotterdam when he remarked that he had a special reason for feel ing at home here, because my folks came from Holland in the l7th Century"
 Unfortunately. however, this good will didn't cop the same headlines as the sensational Thomas Tech nique of how not to win friends abroad.
 Note-When the Senate group left Rotterdam, the city chimes played Yankee Doodle" Alabama's Spark. man would have preferred Dixie but seemed as pleased as his north ern colleagues.

important because it provides much-needed facilities for better living in Alaska towns.
 Building materials are expensive here; other costs run high All Alaska settlements lag far behind other American cities, towns and villages in facilities to serve the community These range from bascs like water supply and sewage disposal to facilities for cu tua development such as public libraries, schools and adequate university equipment.
 Now the Federal Government offers to pay half the cost and to advance the other half. The Alaska measures the only overall Public Works Act on the books for the entire United States.
 The Bureau of Community Facilities is to be con- graduated the leadership it exerted and the inter est it took getting this bill enacted by the Congress as well as the promptness with which it followed through.
 We refer especially to the efforts of Lester Marx Special Assistant to the Commissioner, who took the lead in getting this highly important bill through Congress and whose work indefatigable. Marxs interest in the development of Alaska dates from his war service in the Kodiak region, an officer in the Seabees.
 The welcome of Juneau and of all Alaska goes to Marx and his co-workers all intensely interested Ill the effects of the new Public Law 264 and now here to establish its provisions.
 The major credit for placing this measure on the books goes to Marx, Delegate E. L. Bartlett anu Joseph T. Flakne chief of the Alaska Branch DlVl- sion of Territories and Island Possessions of the h. teror Department
 The Senate Bill as finally passed grew out ol Delegate Bartletts House Bill, and preserves the intent as well as the main features Of the orlgmai measure.
 At the same time, the Public Works Bill had the unanimous support of all Aaskans, not always so Ill accord on public affairs

wanted to forget about Sweden--a certain cigarette girl in Stockholm.
 After dinner one night, the girl stopped at the table where Brick CT and four Senate colleagues were seated.
 I'll buy cigar for my father" '" announced 46-year-old Democrat Allen Frear of Delaware, nodding toward Bricker.
 Do you really think I'm his father?" Bricker asked the girl.
 "Oh, yes, Sir" said the young lady, without hesitating moment, Navy Flouts Johnson Again The last official document, sign ed by outgoing Admiral Denfeld, is a final slap at Secretary of Defense Johnson.
 It is the annual report of the Chief of Naval Operations to the Secretary of the Navy just off the press. And by releasing it, the Navy violated the spirit of Johnson'S order against separate annual re- ports by the three services.
 Last June the Navy objected to the order on the ground that Con- gress was entitled to a separate re- port from each service, but the Secretary of Defense, after con- sidering all arguments, stuck to his guns. He issued his order on Aug ust 1 in a private memo to the Army, Navy and Air Force. Tn the light of all the circum- stances" Johnson wrote, T have decided that there should be one annual report for the national mili- tary establishment"
 Despite this, the Navy defied Johnson's order, and issued it's own annual report anyway Theo- retically it got around JohnSon's order by addressing the report to the Secretary of the Navy. But when representative of this col umn took a copy into Secretary of the Navy Matthews for comment, he was flabbergasted.
 What's this?" he asked. q have not seen that Here, let, me look at it..
 The report was marked: Report on your Navy MT Secretary. An nual report of the Chief of Naval Operations to the Secretary of the Navy" Nevertheless, that was tie first Secretary Matthews had seen of it.

WELFARE STATE

According to Arthur M. SclN- singer, Jr., the theoretician of the ADA the Socialist organization that hopes to absorb both the Republl- can and Democratic parties, this is what Alexander Hamilton believed concerning the Welfare State:
 ". The Welfare State has been with us since the first Administra- tion of this Governoment. The very phrase, welfare, refers of course to the clause in the Constitution which says that one of the businesses Of the Federal Government is to pro- mote and support the general well fare. . :. And the first person who developed this principle of using the Federal Government to support the general welfare was Alexander Hamilton. The various measures which Hamilton advocated as Se- cretary of the Treasury. The Ma tional Bank, the funding measures and his great report on manufac- turers, were all means by which the Government. The power of the Government would be used to sup port and sustain and promote in- terests of special group in the popu- lation."
 This was on a television program, "The Court of Current Issues" An interlocutor, Shad Polier, asked Schlesinger couple of helpful questions which led up to this fur ther comment by the Harvard gen. jus:
 Alexander Hamilton was in fa- vor of the kind of Welfare State which operated for the benefit oi the business community" z Now. the essential problemgof the Welfare State, as of any state, is precisely how much money tht

Government can afford to remove from the earnings of a people to provide such services as a Govern ment may wish to provide. The wish. of course, is limitless, for the more numerous the serVices, the more numerous and immediate are the votes. Of course, as the tax es pile up. the state as well as the people becomes impoverished. Their standard of living falls. ceiling is placed upon enterprise. The Brit ish are solving that problem with
 gifts from the United States. When the Sociahstic fate of Britain over takes us, we shall not have any kindly cousins to slip us a little help. But that is a long way oil, In a word, a nation can only spend what it can afford to spend. The alternate is bankruptcy.
 This is what Alexander Hamilton had to say on the subject:
 There is no part of the admin istration of government that re- quires extensive information and a thorough knowledge of the prin- ciples of political economy, so much as the business of taxation. The man who understands those prln- ciples best will be least likely to re- sort to oppressive expedients, or sacrifice any particular class of citl- zens to the procurement ot rev. enue. It might be demonstrated that the most productive system of finance will always be the least burdensome. There can be no doubt that in order to a judicious eX- ercise of the power of taxation, II is necessary that the person III whose hands it should be ds) ac- uuainted with the general genus, habits. and modes of thinking or the people at large, and with the resources of the country. And this is all that can be reasonably meant by a knowledge of the interests and feelings of the people In any ether sense the proposition has either no meaning, or an absurd one. y
 Z So. the problem is costs. We shall this fiscal year, l949-l950, have a budget, with supplementary bud- gets and similar devices, which VII run from $40 oOo,OO0,o 900 to $5o,0o0,- 0O0,O00 That represents deficit of from $5,OO0, 100000 to S10,000, ,0O0,- GOO. We shall know on July l, 1850 what the deficit finally is and 1t may shock our nation. The Presi- dent, foreseeing what hole he will be in then, proposes more and higher taxes He has no other sol ution, certainly not if he wants to operate a Welfare State. A govern ment, like an individual, often over extends and then discovers bank ruptcy; there is no REC to bail out the bankrupt government on the plea that it will make work.
 If the people object to more and higher taxes, they must oppose the Welfare State If they like the Vel fare State, they must agree to more and higher taxes every year until they work largely to pay taxes. It is as easy as that.

An estimated 16 million veter-

Washington not only was the
seat of government and capital
of cultural and social opportuni-
ties, but boosted one of the early
manufacturers of the cotton gin.

The same spirit of independence
which had shaken off European
claims to the territory became
manifest during this period. how

the people and their appointed ter

Territory was clamoring for state
