tough to catch going down on first
base.
Perhaps we should say we feel
deep down inside. the $150.000
rookie whom the experts have
been surprisingly tight-lipped about
will set a National league base
stealing record.
Will Jackie Robinson flash the
base-running form of last season
or his first breaking in season
1947????
We think he will unquestionably.
We win see dancing. pivoting,
feinting. break away Robinson on
the lanes giving new gray hairs to
pitchers in the junior loop. In the
case of Boston Sammy" we
should see the best and the fast
est man to try for base stealing
honors since the ancient days of
Bob Bescher, Cincinnati; Max
Carey, Pittsburgh. and speedboy
Hans Lobert, Philadelphia, who
once established a worlds record
for circling the bases. 1t looks like
a season designed to give National
league catchers arm trouble as
well as brain-twister equations
thinking how to stop these two
guys.

As semanticist, Rev. Barbur

clares that wars are never fought
over structural laws (basic truths)

to her in the way Of gifts.
Reminded of Past Gifts. .
She assured me with all the
vigor at her command that she
didn't want me to bring her
single, blessed thing. She even
reminded me Of gifts I had
brought to her in the past, such
as a pair OF long white gloves
which she had no use for, an
ostrich feather fan when no one
in the United States was carrying
one, shoes two sizes too large, a
pair of castanets. and q bolt of
suit cloth which she said a hermit
wouldn't be caught hermiting in.
In spite of all this talk of hers,
I said. Are you real sure? You
cross your heart and hope to die
that when I get back you won't
be disappointed If I don't bring
you a thing?"
She said that was Just dandy.
Just what she wanted me to do.
So, fool that am when it comes
to knowing a woman's mind and
heart, I didn't buy her so much
as straight pin. I was tempted
to. but I remembered that I was
under strict orders from my COM
mander- in chief.

time from IL to 26 weeks, depend
ing on the State. He also proposed
to include 6 million persons not
now under the system.
In the last few years, a million
more people have entered the labor
market each year than have left
it. These are largely young people
who have finished their educations,
either high school or college. This
year the largest number of college
graduates in our history will be
out looking for jobs-500. 900. of
which 250.000 are war veterans.
In addition there will be the usual
large number of high school grad
yates who will not go to college.
Trade Indices at Peak.
While the number looking for
jobs has increased, available jobs
have not increased commensu-
rately. even though employment
has remained high and all indices
in our economy have remained
generally favorable, including in
dustrial production. consumer in
come. and business profits which
are at a peak.
One factor in the gap between
workers and jobs is that industry
is producing more with the same
number of workers due to the
addition of new plants and equip
ment and now adequate flow of
raw materials which were short
for some time after the end of
the war. We are, to put it one
way, bit too efficient for our
own good, though that is no
answer. g
The big overall, long range
problem, if we are to remain pros
porous, is to expand our economy
to take up the slack, as President
Truman emphasized over and over
in his message to Congress. And
we must remain prosperous and
strong because of our leadership
Of the democratic forces in the
world against the spread of COM
munism. The health of our econ
omy is the most important fact

Lodge will resign from the sub
committee.
So far there has not even been a
pretense of judicial fairness in the
investigation. The Democrats
have been accusing the Repub-
licans Of playing politics with an
eye to the forthcoming elections,
while the Republicans accuse their
Democratic colleagues of acting
under instructions from the White
House to whitewash the whole
thing.
Lawyers Flank Witnesses.
Although the Democrats have
appointed counsel and an assist
ant to him. neither has taken
active part in the investigation.
At no time-contrary TO usual
congressional practice in investi-
gations-has either Of these men
questioned witnesses before the
Tydings subcommittee.
Senator Mccarthy has pre-
sented his charges and those
whom he named publicly have
been allowed to testify before the
Tydings group. They presented
their answers in carefully pre-
pared statements, flanked as a
rule by a battery of high-powered
lawyers.
The Republican members Of the
committee have asked some per-

functory questions based on fiimsy
information at their disposal. The
Democratic members merely
nodded their approval OF the pre-
pared statements and assured the
witnesses of their implicit faith
in their honesty and loyalty. The
public in the large caucus room
applauded. That is what the in
vestigation has been so far.
Acting on lunches rather than
positive facts. Senator Hicken-
looper of Iowa managed to ask a
few questions which appeared to
embarrass, at least, some Of the
witnesses.
Typical Example Cited.
A typical example occurred last
Thursday when without reason
Chairman Tydings, reputed to be
one Of the ablest lawyers in Mary
land, assured Owen baltimore, the
noted Johns Hopkins University
professor, that the FBI files seen
by the subcommittee cleared him
of any suspicion of Red spying.
Senator Tydings' statement
happens, to say the least, to be
an exaggeration. He was soon con-
tradicted by Republican members
of the subcommittee. They main-
tain that what they had seen
showed Mr.. baltimore neither
guilty nor innocent.
What the subcommittee was
shown was a digest Of the digest"
OF the raw files" of the FBI. These
files contain all sorts OF allega-
tions, testimony and assertions
from all kinds of people. From
these a digest is made, containing
on'v material facts after all un-
subs:.s inflated evidence was re-
And what applies to Mr.. Latti-
more may apply also to others
who have been even loosely named
by Senator Mccarthy. 1t is in
the interest Of the accused as well
as the American public that ex-
perienced counsel should be called
in to 60 thoroughly into the matter
and conduct the investigation on
q professional basis as always has
been the case in congressional
inquiries.

Striking Paradox
So Million Employed in Nation
Yet 4 Million Are Out of Jobs

The immediate problem OF over
4 million unemployed is, in the
first instance, humanitarian
one, to meet their needs. 1t is
for that reason that the President
is asking higher benefits-they
averaged only $40 a week last
year.
Experience has demonstrated,
too, that they should run longer
If they are to meet this personal,
human need fully. It takes longer
now to get a job. There are now
a million people, one out of every
four unemployed, who have been
out of work for over Is weeks.
Many are no longer receiving
benefit payments, and some States
where unemployment is heavily
concentrated have had their re-
sources strained. The Presidents
program includes Federal grants
to such States.
A year ago only 100000 persons
had been without jobs for Is
weeks or more. The year before
at this same time the number was
100000. Similarly. there were 8
million persons looking for work
during the first three months OF
last year. and 21a million in 1913
compared with the average OF
nearly AZ million looking for jobs
in the first quarter of this year
But, aside from the human
problem. there also is a basic
economic problem involved. which
is to keep up purchasing power
Higher payments are justified on
this strictly business basis. as well
as on the human basis. In 1949
a total of 81 billion TOO millions
was paid out in benefits to more
than 7 million persons, the high
est IN the history OF our unem-
ployment insurance system.
Changes proposed by President
Truman would have meant $3.50
million more in benefits and that
much more in the stream of pur-
chasing power. as we'll as reducing
the number of unemployed whose
payments were exhausted to halt
what it was in 1949 when benefits
ran out for nearly million per-
sons before they found new jobs

is assumed that ones position in
the war can be dictated by cir
