Marysville- Worthington Play
To 90 Draw in Grid Thriller
STATISTICS OF GAME

tumbleS .....-........................ 4 U
Recovered by opponents. 0
Penalties, yards lost. 20 35
Although they were forced to
settle for a scoreless tie after out
playing a strong Worthington
team throughout the game Fri
day night, Marysville's Mon
archs proved that they could
come back even though riddled
by injuries to key players.
Marysville held a decided edge
in all departments of play as
they outrushed the Cardinals 2l6
yards to 1913. They gained "a
yards on three pass compilations
compared with 21 yards on two
competitions by the visitors.
Marysville threw seven passes,
Worthington tried six and had
two intercepted; Marysville one.
Each team punted four times
and each had 40-yard average,
very good for high school. Loren
Grimes got off one boot of 54
yards for Marysville in the third
period.
Backs Perform Well
Performance OF two of Marys-
vile non-letterrnan backs was
outstanding John Evans took in
jured Buddy Hoffman's place in
the last period and spanked two
drives deep into Worthington
territory. He averaged over five
yards a try in the last half.
Bob Patterson gained 43 yards
on IL rushes. These two boys,
along with Howard Hill, kept
Worthington's back to the wall
in the last quarter.
Hoffman was injured early in
the game and his efficiency was
cut down considerably but he
was top ground gamer for the
night as he rolled up II wards.
He averaged SIS yards per try. He
probably saved the game when he
knocked a Worthington runner
out of bounds who had inter-
cepted Marysville pass and ap-
peared going for touchdown on
the last play of the half.
Line Play Improved
Marysville's line play, although
spotty at times, was improved.
The local forwards looked very
good on their goal-line stand
when ' they stopped powerful
Pete Fields twice within inches
of the goal late in the second
quarter. 1t is doubtful if many
other lines will hold the Worth
ington backs scoreless this season.
The first period was all Marys-
vile with the locals getting six
first downs to Worthington'S
none. Worthington took over in
the second quarter and came
within inches of getting what
would have been the game win
ming score.
The visitors also held an edge
in play during the third frame
but in the fourth it was all
Marysville again. With an often
sive backfield composed of Evans,
Hill, Patterson, and Worthington,
the Monarchs rolled up four
first downs to Worthington's
none and outgained them SO
yards to Is. Marysville's first
drive started out their own 35 af-
ter they held Worthington on
downs.
Two Drives Fail
In ten plays they moved to the
Worthington ten when a penalty
set them back and then Hill fum-
buel Worthingtop's hand-off from
the "T" and the visitors took
over. Marysville again held for
downs and Hill brought Voll-
rath's punt back to the Marys-
vile As.
Only three minutes were left

I In addition, I have proposed TO
the Congress In the economic re-
port that it take added steps at
this time to keep purchasing power

from unemployment, and to enable
us to make plans So that we will
be in a position to step up public

If these measures are adopted,
the Government will be in an i'm

our expanding economy. But chang

I have this confidence because Of
our achievements in the past and
because Of the present strength OF
our institutions.

IL production and full employ

full production and full employ
ment.
At this time, therefore, I am not
recommending new taxes to make
up the deficit. I do not like to
have Government deficit. But still
less do I want to injure the eco
nomic health of the country.
Selfish interests we're behind the
tax reduction of the 80th Congress.
They were also behind the failure
to provide authority to stabilize
prices. These two blunders of the
selfish interests have had unfortu-
nate economic consequences. They
will continpe to cause us trouble
for some time.
Now these same selfish interests
are urging us to commit a third
great blunder. They are now urging
drastic cuts in Government expendi-
tures-cuts which would fall hard
est on those expenditures which are
most important to our domestic
economy.
Would Add to Jobless.
Making cuts Of this type in the
budget is just the thing you do not
do if you want to help the economy
expand At a time when employ
ment is already lower than 1t
should be, cutting Government ex-
penditures would cause more un-
employment. At a time when more
investment is needed, 1t would be
foolish to cut down productive Gov
ernment investment in national re-
sources and public works. To slash
COVER n ment expenditures now,
would add to the downward trend.
Let us take public works, for ex-
ample. 1t has been estimated that
every $1,000 100000 spent for public
works gives employment to 5000
people, and adds to the income, in
directly, of some 100000 more. The
current budget provides more than

provements. If we cut them out. we
would not only hamper the growth
of the economy, we would also in
crease unemployment by about
100000 persons. and weaken the
position of over 2,O0o,0 900 more. This
would be the most expensive kind
of saving I can think of.
The people who unwisely urge
that Government expenditures be
slashed, are for the most part the
very same people who have long
been opposing our social programs
and our resource development pro-
grams. They have resisted such
things as social security, housing,
the minimum wage law. and public
power development, from the very
beginning. They have opposed every
improvement in these programs.

the Government to achieve greater
efficiency. I believe in the eco
nomic use of the public's money
and the budget Is based on thai
principle.
II we examine the items in the
budget, we see, in dollar figures
the magnitude of the task which
confronts this Nation in protecting
the cause Of peace and freedom
Over three -fourths of the budget Ii
due to international events. Less
than. one-fourth arises from the
domestic functions of the Govern
ment
Let me explain to you why this
is so.
The total of the whole budget to-
day is about $4,000, ,OO0, 900. OF this
total. 2,o00, 100000 is the result
either of past wars or our efforts
to prevent another war. Three big
items make up this $4,000, ,000, 900
The first is the national defense
That accounts for over $4,000, 900,
600. The armed services, at the
start Of this year, wanted much
bigger sum than that, but I cut II
down to the minimum necessary fol
our protection and for the preserva-
ton Of peace In this troubled world
1t is expensive to keep up the
forces necessary to prevent war, but
in the long run it could be lot
more expensive not to have them
The second big item is the cost
of our international programs They
will cost this year about $1,000, ,000,'
900, and they are worth every penny
of it.. This sum includes the cost OF
the European recovery program and
our occupa ton responsibilities
These programs, have kept Western
Europe out of the hands of the
Communists, and are helping to re.
store the conomic and social
strength of the free nations. If We
were to cut these programs, it would
weaken our efforts to bring about
peace. That is a risk we must not
take.
More Than Half Budget.
These two items, national defense
and international aid, add up to
s21 900 900, ,oO0-more than half the
budget. These are the expenditures
we are making to prevent future
wars. If anybody thinks 1t extrava-
CANT to maintain the peace. let him
remember that it cost us not $21,-
0OO, ,000, 900 a year but 500, ,000, ,000,-
600 a year to conduct the last war
7 do not believe that our defense
and international expenditures will
have to remain at their present
high level indefinitely. I hope that
they may be reduced as our pro-
gram for peace takes effect. But, As
Of today, I regard these expenA-
lures as the most valuable insur-
ance we can take out against the
enormous expense and tie terrific

they are against these programs be-
cause they say they are imitation
ary. During q deflationary period
they are against them because they
say they are deflationary.
Rain or shine, they are just
against them.
Saved Business in '30s.
It was programs like these, for
the benefit of the people, that saved
business in the 30s that are
supporting purchasing power now,
and that are laying a foundation
for increased prosperity in the fu-
ture. Most of the people know this,
even If the selfish interests don't.
In the long run, these programs
are not only necessary to the well
fare of the country-they are nee
essary If We are to balance the
budget.
The very heart of sound Govern
ment finance is to make the expen-
ditures that are necessary to help
achieve prosperity and peace. The
items in the budget are consistent
with this principle. That is why the
Congress, in considering the de-
tails Of the budget, has not made
significant cuts. 1t has approved
the particulars Of the budget, item
by item, because the Congress
knows they are good for the coun-
try.
I achieved q budget surplus-be-
fore the 80th Congress tax cut-and
I intend to achieve one again.
When we had an excess of re-
ceipts over expenditures, we applied
it to reduce the national debt. We
have already paid off more Of the
debt than the total size of the
national debt after the first World
War.
But you cannot achieve a surplus
in the Government budget when
you have a declining national econ
omy. A Government surplus and
national prosperity 60 together. The
income and the expenditure of the
Government. are a very important
part of the entire national econ
omy. If we follow the wrong budget
policy at this time and slash our
expenditures, we will decrease en-
ployment, cut down investment,
weaken our defenses, and injure
our efforts for peace.
If we follow the right budget
policy, and support the national
economy, we can help bring the
country back to our normal rate of
growth and expansion.
Effective Measures Near.
Some of the measures which will
be most effective in the present
situation have either been enacted
or are on their way to final passage.
They include the housing program,
the agricultural program, and an

tthe number of people without jobs
is substantially larger than it was
year ago. Last year at this time,
the number Of people out of work
was as low as we can expect it to
be IN peacetime. 1t was a little over
100000 Now, the number out of
work is almost 1000 900.
While much of this unemploy-
ment is temporary and Is part Of
the normal process Of changing
jobs, there are substantial numbers
of people who have been out of
work for some time, and are now
suffering hardship.
AS to production, the output Of
all goods and services declined
slightly during the first half of this
year. In some types of business,
there has been no decline at all. In
others there have been slight in
creases. In manufacturing, however,
output in June had dropped Is per
cent from the high point of last
November.
In the Economic Message in jan
uary, I said that we should strive
for a 8 to 4 per cent increase in
total output this year if we were to
maintain maximum production and
employment. Instead, we have fall
en- somewhat below last years level.
These are the facts. am not col
oring them one way or the other.
Many Want Depression.
Some people are saying, and say
ing very loudly, that these facts
mean that we are in depression.
Many of these people, for political
reasons, would like to have a de-
preston. Others are saying that
there is nothing to worry about,
and that an increase in the number
looking for work is good thing.
This attitude ignores the human
suffering caused by unemployment.
Both groups are wrong. We are
not in a depression. But an increase
in the number of people out of
work is something to worry about,
and is something that must be
cured
If we were in a depression,
would be the first person to tell
you, and 7 would call upon all the
resources of this Nation to stop it.
What We face today is not a de-
preston, and If we follow the right
course, it will not become de-
preston.
We are going through an eco
nomic change which is the result
of the inf1ationary spiral that we
were in until a few months ago. I
warned repeatedly against the dan
gers of this imitation, and asked
the Congress time and again to take
steps to curb the excessive rise in
prices. I did this because knew
that if prices went too high, they
would topple over and bring about
decline in production and en-
ployment.
Prices Finding Levels.
Unfortunately, my recommenda-
tions were not accepted. Prices
continued to climb. AS the most
urgent needs Of the people and of
industry were satisfied, these high
prices cut down the sale of goods.
AS a result. production declined.
Prices are now finding more reason
able levels-a fact which should
stimulate sales and production
again.
In this period of change, our ma
tional economy is protected by i'm
portant economic refeEms.Ehioh the
Government has adopted over the
last l6 years. Unemployment I'M:
surance and social secur1tHu are
helping people who are out Of work,
and are helping to maintain cons
sumer purchasing power. The farm
price support program is keeping
agriculture on a fairly even keel.

that we default on the Government

These are the costs of past wars
Together with the $21 900 900 OO(

the Budget provides for all other
functions of the Government. The
major items in this category are

and payments for health and social
security. For country of this size
with a 100000, 100000 economy
$40 ,O0, 600, 900 for such essential
programs Is a reasonable sum in
deed.
Today, after an increase of popu-
lation and in spite of rising prices
this part of the budget is only SO
per cent greater than it was IL
years ago. The other part of the
budget-the cost of past wars and
of preventing future wars-is the
part that has shown such tremen-
dous increase. This part of the
budget is 900 per cent greater than
it was 10 years ago.
Reflects World of Today.
The size of the budget reflects
the world we are living in. We have
to face the facts of the world of
today. 1t does no good to retire into
the world of the past and to wish
that somehow the facts would just
60 away, so that we could have a
small budget again.
The leaders of the 80th Congress
thought they could wish the facts
away. They insisted on passing a
tax reduction against my advice
and over my veto. I warned that
this tax cut of $4,000, 100000 was
almost certain to produce a deficit.
1t did produce deficit. For the
year ending July /, 1949, the deficit
was $1,800,000, 900.
The economy was running at a
high level when this untimely tax
cut was made. People then could
pay the taxes necessary to balance
the budget and to provide sur
plus for debt reduction. Today, be-
cause profits and incomes have fall
en-, taxes bring in less money. An
increase in taxes now might bear
too heavily on business and dis
courage the investment necessary to
