False Picture

Mr.. Trumans contention that a
splendid prosperity still prevails in
our country and that everything is
lovely in our domestic situation is
not easy to sustain unless you ignore
some pretty pregnant facts and do
not care what you say anyhow. Yet,
undoubtedly it is the Truman inten-
ton to make this his basic appeal to
the people ON the "nonpoitical" tour
of the country which with Il great
fanfare of Administration trumpets
he begins next week.
The fact is that recent develop
ments in Washington have made it
clear that this assumption is COM
pletely fraudulent. The chief Of these,
of course, iLntheE official revelation
that the Truman estimate Of the
Federal deficit for the fiscal year end
ing July l, 1850, is 81 100000, 900
short, which means a net deficit for
the current year of S6,100,000 900
instead of $4,000, 100000. And, for
the year ending July /, 1851, Sena-
tor George, chairman of the Senate
Finance Committee. estimates
deficit Of $1,000. 100000. In brief.
from Democratic sources it is Of
ficially estimated that in fourteen
months the net deficit will exceed
$4,000 100000 This is so far beyond
the Administration estimate as to
make them seem absurd.
Now, what this really means is that
the Federal finances are altogether
out of control. When the President
and his financial advisers miss guess
revenues and receipts by $4,000, 000,-
600 (Which is an understatement Of
what they have done) it means that
they have lost all sense of the fiscal
realities and have no real conception
of actual conditions. When to this you
add Senator Byrd's mcontrovertiblc
figures showing that excluding inter
est on the national debt, money APP
propriated for national defense, the
Marshall plan and foreign aid and
social security, our expenditures for
purely domestic purposes have IN
creased nearly 80 percent since 1913
few clear-headed persons will dis
pute the statement that our Federal
finances are in a runaway condition
and that our fiscal situation is
perilous one.
Considering all these things, it is
certainly pertinent to inquire what is
this prosperity for which Mr.. Tru-
man claims full credit? Is it solid or
is it fictitious? Is the breast-beating
statement of Mr.. Leon Keyserling,
acting chairman of the Council of
Economic Advisers, that mo matter
how you measure it, the situation is
very, very good" justified or is it
just the outgiving of New Deal
Fair Deal Jobholder who calls him
self an economist without any clearly
recognized title to do so? There is
very strong argument to be made
that the sort of prosperity for

halfway between these two points.
Vertical adjustment is also inn
portant according to the engineer.
The most common error is to have the
hitch on the pillow clevis too high
thereby causing the pillow to ride ON
its nose. This causes excessive pillow
share wear and should be corrected
by making certain that the pillow is
riding level ON the ground.
Mr.. Gienger recommended that
farmers check with their implement
dealers and get complete information
on adjusting the pillow hitch.

DEVELOPMENT OF ALASKA, NOT
NATIONAL DEFENSE, is
STATEHOOD ISSUE

We are glad that Senator Herbert Lehman Demo-
Interior Committee told Gov Gruenng and other pro-
ponents of HR 33l that the matter of national defense
has nothing to do with the Alaska statehood issue
Ever since the matter of defense brought into
the statehood picture thought it poor for
a statehood demand-rabbe rousing, doubt but not
sound.
Alaskans testifying in favor of HR 331 pleaded
for its passage without any qualification If there
anything wrong with the Bill they hadn't heard it.
Most of them spoke in generalities, expecting no
doubt, that the Governor last speaker for the Bill
would summarize its content and his position urg-
ing its passage.
Instead he openly admitted that the Bill was a
that needed lots of changes.
He did unfurl the flag and blow the bugles about
national defense but the buge as the
Bill and Senator Lehman and others fatty said that
national defense had nothing at all to do with the
issue.
When the Governor was told that he could best
the fight for statehood by showing how the Bill
under consideration would develop Alaska and attract
settlers he agreed pretty much with charges
of those who appeared in opposition the
bill:

l. Dictator Franco is hanging on
by the skin of his teeth, largely
through claims that he will get an
American loan. Last summer, Is
top Spanish generals had a show
down with Franco. All but two
pointedly said they could no longer
support him.
Franco begged for time to prove
the United States was backing him.
In August, American fleets under
Admiral Connolly steamed into
Spanish ports and Franco won his
reprieve. But the latest inside
dope is that unless he can wangle
loan this year, the Spanish mill
tary definitely will ditch him for
return of the king.

than Tuesday night. This capac-

to the art of Miguelito Valdes,
whose renown as a singer and
purveyor of Latin American music
is considerable. Mr.. Valdes, it
soon turned out, also is one of
dance music's supporters.
The first sounds Mr.. Valdes pro-
duced when we were there were
those belonging to an old favorite
titled Thanks for the Memory"
melodic sounds arranged quietly
and rhythmically for dancing. 1t
was the sort of music ideally
suited to the intimate Congo
Room.
Mr.. Valdes has not deserted the
Latin rhythms-the rumbas and
sambas and such-which made
him famous, in order to compete
with Guy Lombardo. Far from
it. He just knows that there
are different kinds of people in
a room like that and he tries
to please them all. He plays a sort
of progressive dance set usually,
starting with a slow fox trot,
going on to a fast one, perhaps
then to a polka. to a slow rumba,
then to a mambo or samba or
both.
