The start of the social season
in Pascagoula will be the dance
which the YWBC is to give fol-
lowing the Thanksgiving game at
Memorial Stadium. And the beau
ty of it is that folks will be able
to go straight from the game to
the Recreation building on Mar
ket where it is to be held. No
fussing around with cars; no mad
drive many blocks. Nice having
such a recreation center. OF
course, this is more than a month

Along the Potomac
to Washington
By j. Glenn BealI

One of the most alarming facts, to
students of Government in Congress
and out, is that the public debt of the
United States Government now is
six times as great as its annual in
come.
Even more disqylieting to many
thoughtful citizens is the fact, in the
face of such a stupendous public
debt, the President, many high Of
ficials in the government and some
Congressman continue to urge eX-
penditures that will boost the public
debt higher and higher, unless taxes
are raised. And a raise in taxes,
everyone now seems to agree, might
throw business off killer and could
cause greater slump in economic
activity.
Senator Walter F. George Cd. Ga.)
chairman of the Senate Finance COM
mittee, and representative Robert L..
Doughton Cd. NC) chairman of the
House Appropriations Committee,
both are dead set against raising
taxes this year.
When the President suggested his
high $42 billion budget, most Con-
gressmen thought this should be the
absolute maximum to be appropriated.
Now, the President has come forward
with the idea of a Columbia Valley
Authority, which would commit the
government to spend additional hun
dreds of millions in the far west.
Also, the President has made it clear
that he wants Congress to pass the
st. Lawrence Seaway and Power
Project this session. 1t would aid
greatly to Uncle Sans outgo. Various
Congressman have introduced bills
which if passed, would add tens of
billions to the federal expenses.
If an average wage Garner were to
owe six times as much as his annual
income, his parents and friends
would advise him to cut down on his
expenses to the bone, buy nothing
that he did absolutely need for sub
sistence, until he reduces his indebted
ness. Otherwise, he would be warned,
he would have to go bankrupt, with
attendant shame and troubles.
Of course, the federal government
can't go bankrupt, as a plain citizen
does. The government always can
print money. But by this either print
ing money or raising taxes, the

government can cause millions of
citizens to go into debt heavily, thus
causing them to go bankrupt. Each
person now owes more than $1,000 as
his share Of the national debt man
with a wife and three children owes
$4,000, as his share, plus his wife
and children's share.
If our government goes again into
spending more than it takes in, as it
likely will, it will bring widespread
social unrest, resultant loss Of faith
in the value of the dollar, and eco
monte troubles vastly greater than
those facing all of us today.
Congressman and economists in the
executive branch of the government
are in the same boat regarding their
ability to forecast the immediate
future Of our national economy.
Trends are very mixed up, and one
Senator remarked last week, if any
one can see anything clearly in his
crystal ball, he is luckier than most
of us.
The Presidents advisers, who try to
leave the impression that they know
everything about everything. certain
ly are in quandary, and admit frank
ly that they don't know whether to
plan against initiation or dehation.
Wage and salary payments, accord
ing to the L. s. Department Of Com
merce, are tending downward slightly,
but total personal income from all
sources still is at the highest level in
history and holding its own.
Beef cattle have died in the West
ern snowstorms by hundreds of thous-
ands, thus making a scarcity of good
meats, compared to last year, GER
tainty by next summer But livestock
growers are marketing their steers
and heifers at loss because they
fear more drops in prices.
Prices for scrap metal actually have
fallen recently. Yet, steel mills say
that they must have more scrap than
ever this year to meet the apparently
never-ceasing demand for steel. One
Congressional committee is trying to
find out why prices are coming down
and another is trying to learn why
certain DriceS remain hiph
Who can explain, to everyone's
satisfaction, all these contradictory
trends? Perhaps no one.
The varying signs seem to indicate
one course, however, for the federal
government. namely, extreme eau
ton. One set Of actions by Congress
may bring on violent slump. An
other set of actions could bring on
more initiation. Neither result would
please many persons.

Negroes Vote
Rises Higher
And Higher
BY James B. LaFourche

BY James =. LaFourche
NEW ORLEANS, La. CAMP
The Negroes political stock scared
to a new high here last week when
a candidate for the mayoralty,
Robert S. Maestri, openly bargain
ed for the 10000 or more votes
that the Negro will cast next Jan.
"a.
Maestri, who formerly served
the city as mayor from 1896 to
1916, to date has outbidded two
other mayoralty candidates,
Chrales S. Zatarian, and the in
cumbent deLesseps S. Morrison,
who defeated Maestri in 1916.
Realizing that he is up against
a brick wall in his about effort
to defeat the man who previously
downed him in the bitter cam
paign of 1916, Maestri has care
fully scrutinized what the other
candidates have offered and he
goes them one better by making
q direct appeal to the Negro vot-
er. Says Maestri:
"If / am elected mayor, I prom

pail mall is going to continue, no
one can tell. Already the regist-
rar has limited that Negroes who
refuse to "play ball" with candi-
dates fostered or supported by
the administration, will get no
further "favors." The retaliation
in mind is nothing short Of a halt
to the registration Of Negroes-and
it a easily be done.
There is yet a very stiff require

ton law, which most of the Ne
roes now registered, cannot truth

Politically, the plight of the Ne
gro here is pathetic. For the first
time in So years he is being open
~ sought for his political support,
and like in times past he is not
ready to intelligently assume the
responsibilities of statecraft.
The Negro, after So years of
Acknowledgement, has been sudden
ly transformed into a citizen again,
just as he was after the. close Of
the Civil war. Vote mad politici-
ans, like the carpetbaggers of the
'6Os, realize how necessary it is
to WOO the Negro vote if theyare
to regain their lost power, and
strategically they subtly register
Negroes by the thousands, Yes,
thousands of Negroes who, for
the past eight years have been
denied the privilege of registering,
