baked at the Ways and Means
Committees request for what

Some Republican Ways and
Means members asked the Rules
group to order procedure that
would permit votes on amend

publican, of Nebraska, said the
new disability insurance bill is a
forerunner of socialized medicine,
and the House should be able to
vote on this section of the measure
separately.
Some other sections of the legis-
lation are political insurance

Curtis said.
However, Majority Leader Nc
Cormack said he is confident the

! Democratic leaders predicted
today the House will pass over

bill vastly broadening the Govern
ment old age pension program.
The bill sped toward a House
showdown as some labor unions
threatened strikes If employers dc
not pay the whole cost of pension
plans operating outside the Gov
ernment's social security. The
Ford Motor Co. agreed to such an
independent plan yesterday. Under
the Government system the en-
ployes and employers equally share
the cost.
The House Ways and Means
Committee voiced fear that COM
pany-f1nanced programs, if not
discouraged by passage of an i'm
proved Government social security
may undermine the Federal pro-
gram. It said:

Some members believe the new
social security program will head
off some of labor'S demands for
independent old age programs

Speaker Rayburn tentatively set
the social security debate to begin
next Tuesday, if the Rules Com
mittee approves. If the Rules
Committee refused to clear the
measure. Mr.. Rayburn said the
rules group may be by-passed and
the measure presented to the
House for a vote a week from

Mr.. Doughton predicted the

ingly. However. the Senate is
not expected to act until next

While housewives and the public gen.

eminent and private economists are for

Had economists visited Key West
groceries, after their advertisements APP
peared in The Citizen last week, they
would have reached the conclusion that
prices for commodities generally in this
area were lower than they had been in
many moon.
One reason for lower prices for gro
ceries in Key West is because competition
in that business is now more acute than
during any other time in the history of the
city. While the competition is not as
decided as it is in Miami, for instance, yet
it shows lusty growth in Key West.
Say what one may, yet there is no
truer statement than that oldtime adage,
Competition is the life of trade" 1t is the
American way of doing business, the way
that has made the United States the out
standing business and industrial wonder of
the world AS it is inherent in our economy,
The Citizen always has opposed the gov
ernment's meddling in private business,
other than to see it is conducted fairly and
honestly. Keep government out of bust
ness, and the country will continue it's
phenomenal progress.
But to return to the groceries in Key
West Though freight or express rates are
higher on shipments to this community, yet
the prices for foodstuffs here compare
favorably with those elsewhere in Florida
Without mentioning the name of any
economist, the latest view of govern
ment and private economists" outlined in
a newspaper story yesterday, said that the
recession in the United States is now
checked" Maybe so, maybe not so, for
trends of today not always forecast cor
rectly what will occur in trade few days
or weeks or months from now.

eknowledge and improved techniques en-
-sl1ing $500 workers to produce more
and better fashionable material in the
same period Of time as was produced by
s5.000 workers a few years ago. AS re-
hult, scientists and engineers look for
ward To the practical use of atomic energy
as a source Of power in the forseeable
pnure and present prospects indicate that
fW.ume limit may be appreciably re-
.tnced
In addition, military officials who are
informed Of atomic production, both in
quality and in quantity, are more than
saanfied and greatly encouraged by the
progress made.
- 1.-THE probability is that the United
States Is In possession of more powerful
atomic weapons and a constantly grow
Las stockpile. The progress made also
tends to put this country that much
ahead Of other nations. Despite present
production Of atomic bombc in Russia, or
srisewhere, the chances are that the
