sent into the line as infantrymen. And, final
~ 1t was infantry, Army and Marine, which
accomplished the brilliant later successes.
Infantry takes the beating in war. It
suffered 20 per cent of the casualties in
World War II, perhaps higher percentage
in Korea. Yet, Mr.. Pearson says, in World
War II it got only 11.6 per cent of the med
ais. And, as noted before, it is way down
the line at the pay table.
It can be argued that mere money is a
small recOmpense for asking a man to risk
his life in war and, at best, live miserably.
But it is the only recOmpense possible-no
way exists to make the infantryman's lot
an easy, pleasant one. It is certainly a
reasonable assumption that the footslogger
with rifle in his hands deserves a better
break than he's now getting.

ON THE WASHINGTON SCENE

The Washington Daily News observes that the
1850 political campaign was ga dreary affair marked
by partisan mud-slingng." It says that Mr. Truman
at St Louis used the giveem-hell technique he had
found effective in 1948 He accused vOte-hungrv
Republican politicnans of willingness to destroy the
United Nations and undermine their own Govern
ment"
President for his Saturday night speech, when he
stepped completely out of his role and addressed
the Nation in the language of demagogy."
The above clearly states the opinions of the Ma
tiOnal Capital. Our Washington correspondents as
rule generally soften their own political opinions
but they appear to agree that Harry Trumans speech
was merely the windy satisfaction of the tongue"

Consumers continued to spend

The upsurge in sales in July and

During the period from June 80

Nearly half of the increase was ac-
counted for by credit advances to

also substantial gains in real es-

of banks in leading cities indicate
that the sharp upward trend in
business loans slowed materially in
October. Investments declined for

The Nations privately owned
money supply increased further in
September to nearly $172 billion

Milk Cut Cent a Quart
In D. T.. Area Today

Milk costs one cent a quart less
today in the Metropolitan Area,
as a seasonal decline went into
effect for an indefinite period.
Milk delivered at homes this
morning cost 20la cents a quart,
as against 21l2 cents-the price
since last summer.
The price drop also affects but
termilk and chocolate drink.
Diaries likewise have cut the
price of pints of milk half a cent
and half-pints a quarter of a cent.
However, these fractional reduc-
tions will be reflected only in
multiple sales.
The changes stem from an
order last month of the Virginia
Milk Commission. reducing the
retail price in Alexandria and Ar
lington by cent a quart. WASH
ington dairies serving nearby Vir-
ginia followed with announce
ments of price reductions here to
bring both areas in line.
Producers in the area also start
today receiving 46 cents a hun
dred pounds less for milk sold to
dairies.
Producer spokesmen have pre-
dicted the lower prices will re-
main in force through the sum-
mer, barring a drought or some
economic change.

meeting on the procedures to be
followed.
Many businessmen have COM
planned about loss of customers
during the two-year underpass
project. Individual losses have
run as high as s4o,ooo,, Mr.. Myers
said.
If the merchants decide to seek
Congressional aid, an attorney
probably will be retained and a
petition circulated, the association
head said. A report on today's
meeting is to be sent to associa-
ton members for their informa-
ton. he added.
MIR. Meyers cited payments to
property-owners affected by con-
struction on Eastern avenue and
a householder whose property was
imperiled by Boiling Field aircraft
as precedents for Congressional
relief. The method would be in
