advice on how to stop boarding
recently when Congressman Harry
Davenport of Pennsylvania sugges-
ted grass-roots drive against
chiseling, by volunteer committees.
The Pennsylvania Democrat fav-
ors Congressional probe of higher
living costs and black markets
He also told Truman:
"A breakdown from the top isn't
enough, however. We've also got
to put our campaign against price
boosting, boarding, and black mar
kets on the consumer level-that
is, by greater buyer resistance.
Housewives in my district al
ready are forming neighborhood
committees to combat unwarranted
price increases and boarding. They
stand in front of stores, for in
stance, to check on the guilty
parties. They're getting results
too. Hoarders don't like to be
caught in the act
Truman agreed.
Panic buying and boarding are
good ways to give comfort to the
enemy" he declared.
Note-Truman also agreed with
Davenport, a strong champion of
FEPC legislation, that we've got
to practice more Democracy at
home" by interracial understanding
if we are to expect the continued
support Of Asiatic peoples in fight
ing Communism

WASHINGTON = The amazing
fact has now developed that the
Washington police tapped the wires
of & U. S. senator while they were
working for private individuals on
government time.
The senator in question is the
late Josiah Bailey of North Car
olina, and his wires were tapped
in The basement of the apartment
house in which he lived on @
Street, by the same police lieuten-
ant, Joseph Shimon, who spied on
the Argentine ambassador and tap
ped the wires of Howard Hughes.
1t. Shimon sat, with a pad of
paper, in the basement of Senator
Bailey's apartment house every
evening for about two weeks while
the Pan American Always con-
troversy over the chosen instru-
ment" was hot, and scrubbed notes
on the senator's conversation. He
had run a wire from the apart
ment- house switchboard down to
the little room in the basement.
Sometimes, when Bailey was not
in laxative mood and wasn't
using his phone, the police lieu
tenant had his girl friend come
and visit him in the apartment
house basement.
Who paid 1t. Shimon for this
private-eye job is not known. 1t
was not part of his regular police
work, and Maj. Robert Barrett,
Chief of Police, has emphatically
opposed overlapping He also
transferred Shimon to an obscure
precinct when he caught him wire
tapping, but, thanks to intervention
from higher-up, Shimon is now
back at one of the most import
ant precincts in the city.

Is Taking Life Justified to End Pain?

sentiment in some States of the
Deep South, believing conditions
favorable there.
Legal history of this century is
that most of the mercy killers are
acquitted, or hung juries are fol-
lowed by dropping Of the charges,
or the euthanasia practicers 60 to
mental institutions.
Doctors find their course beset
with doubts. One is this sentence
in their Hippocratic oath: Il will
give no deadly medicine to any
one if asked, nor suggest any such
counsel"
Another difficulty is saying def
initely when there is no hope.
Another, as voiced by General
Secretary DR.. William Harllee
Bordeaux of the American Coun-
Gil OF Christian Churches.
II fear mercy death for pain
will be the first step toward a
law permitting euthanasia for
mental patients, not competent
to give assent"
New York doctors replied to a
canvass by the euthanasia society
showing considerable opposition
to extending mercy deaths to
human monstrosities, idiots and
imbeciles.
The American Council of
Christian Churches has twice
voted against euthanasia. The
Catholic Church stand against 1t
has been unwavering. The Vati-
cans newspaper, Osservatore Ro-
mano, says the pity wanted by
euthanasists would lead to mad
hess"
Here are summarized reasons,
for and against. The reasons for
are: BY DR.. Charles Francis Pot
ter. New York minister, organ
izer and first president Of the
American society.
Those who look to the advance
OF medical science to eliminate
the need for legislation legalizing
voluntary euthanasia are evi-
IDENTIFY unaware that the advance
has made euthanasia more i'm
perative than before.
Il have seen human life expec-
fancy heightened 20 years. Medi-
cal progress in the treatment of
cancer has been far surpassed BY
the increase in cancer cases.
Many more Of us are reaching the
sunset slope of life, the later
decades when cancer and degener-
ative diseases get a better chance
at us.
Nearly 400 ministers and
nearly 1000 physicians have petit
toned the New York legislature
because they know what the last
long mile of the cancer victim is
like, and are under no illusions
or delusions about the alleged
character-making or soul-saving
value of the final horrible, maniac
torture.
The legislation of voluntary
enthanasia for incurable sufferers
is compatible with moral and re-
llglous principles. It is also a
pressing social problem.
What we have now Is illegal,
or bootleg euthanasia which We
have reason to believe is becom-
ing more prevalen than formerly.
Frequently the agent of mercy,
a devoted son, daughter, father
or mother. commits suicide, fear
ing the trial for murder and the
execution that our out-of-date
laws still demand"

Farm Income 80 Percent Less than lS48 Forecast
For 1850 by Livestock Marketing Association Officials

we found 1949 a fairly good
year for farmers and stockmen.
However, lowering of values of
farm products sold compared
with the previous two years, and
with higher wages paid labor and
cost of manufactured products
continuing high, we find the mar
gin of earnings and savings con-
siderably less for most farm folks.
The cash receipts from livestock
were some IL percent less in l949
than in l948, even though there
were some IA percent more hogs,
about the same supply of cattle,
but some less veal and lambs. In
come from crops sold averaged
z percent less. Gross farm income
was down 10 percent compared
with l948. The net income to
farmers, because of higher opera
ting expense and cost of supplies,
averaged Is percent less in 1949
than l948.
1T is reported by rural econo-
mists of the country that an adj
ditional loss of about the same
percent of net income may be ex-
pected by farm folks during
1850"
Down 80 Percent
Mr.. Smith adds that, "This is
due in part to heavy production
of most all food products, includ-
ing pork, which will be some
to 8 percent higher in 1850 than
in 1949, and to slower recession
of prices on supplies that farm
folks buy. In the overall picture,
it is estimated that the gross in
come to the average farmer will
be some 10 percent less again in
1850 than it was in l949.
With equally iligl operating
costs of labor, equipment, seeds,
fertilizer, repairs, supplies, and
most all necessities, it will re-
quire paying out a higher pro-
portionate amount of income to
pay operating costs during 1850.
In all, this leads to not more
than 70 percent as much net in
come as received two years ago
on the same size and kind of op-
Grafton. While this is hard to take
