FOREIGN IMPORTS

Three things are rapidly de-
Stroying large segmentS of Amer
lean industry. They are low tar
iff rates at home, low wages in
, foreign countries and the rapid
building of old and new industry
abroad through the use of tax
payers money. Those of us who
have opposed the use of Ameri-
can money to destroy our own
industry and at the same time
have urged tariffs sufficient to
avoid our destruction, have been
greatly in the minority in con-
gress. Developments during the
past year would indicate that
many members will soon be
forced to join us in what has
been an uphill fight. In the past
years the pottery and glassware
industries have been most seri-
ously affected In 1948 over sixty
three million pieces of pottery
came in to the United States. In
1949 over one hundred and fifty
three million pieces of pottery
came in to the United States-an
increase of more than 26096. This
increase will continue unless we
can get some protection.
A pottery worker in Japan re-
ceives seven cents per hour while
the same worker in America re-
ceives an average of $1.47 per
hour. It is not a question of COM
petition, but purely a question
of how much pottery Japan can
make. AS long as Japan can
dump all her products in the
United States, the industry will
grow in Japan and die here at
home. In 1949 over twelve mil
lion pieces of glassware came to
the United States from foreign
countries. One of the biggest pro-
ducers of glass is Czechoslovakia
which is under the domination
of Russia. Glass workers in that
country receive % cents per hour.
Because of cheap labor and its
affect upon the glass and pottery
industries in this country, have
never supported reciprocal
trade agreement program and I
hope a majority of the next con-
gress will be men who realize
the cheap imports are causing
great unemployment and will
eventually wreck our standard of
living, unless we can get suffi-
cient protection either by the
''peril-point" amendment or by
limiting all imports to a percen-
tage of our domestic consump-
ton.
For years those of us with dis
tricts producing pottery and
glassware have always stood
alone. Today other industries in
every part of the country are be-
ginning to realize that we are
right, both in our contentious and
predictions. Russia has sent so
many furs to the United States
in the past year that the price of
domestic peltS is pitifully low.
The income of the farmer boy, as
well as the professional trapper
of many states, is gone. At the
same time Russia gets dollar Gre
dts which can be used here or
in any part of the world for the
building of her war machine. BIZ
noculars are vital in time of war
and Japan did not have an in

Marriage is not a lottery. Be

Happy is the man who sees
his folly in his youth.
Learning makes the wise
wiser, but the fool more foolish.

DAYROLL taxes, in general, are
passed on to the consumer and
increase the price of goods. This
is certainly true of that portion
paid by the employer which be-
comes a cost of production for all
those in the industry. 1t is par
tally true of the portion paid by
employees, because wage negotia-
tions are largely conducted on a
take-home pay basis. The result is
that the cost of these programs is
a burden on the entire community,
paid for the most part in higher
prices for food and clothing and
every other necessity. Every family
in the land is taxed to make these
payments. The total amount of
these payments is already conSid-
cradle.
The 1851 budget estimates pay
ments under the old age insurance
plan of $2.3 billion, under unem-
ployment compensation of Sis
billion, under other retirement
funds of another billion dollars, a
total of more than $4.5 billion. If
this is a tax, we have to consider
how large a burden we can safely
or properly place on people who
are working, to support those who
at the time are not paying their
way. Furthermore, the idea of in
surance usually involves federal
fund and so, as in the case of medi-
cine, it means not only the social
ization but the naturalization of
the medical care or the other free
service involved.
Social insurance i'm some fields
has real merit, but it should be
recognized for what it is-tax-
alton of the people to provide
great national services expend-
ing vast sums of money for those
who, in the past, have paid their
own way.

HIGHLIGHTING
NEW YORK 49,. .
BY Glen Wilkinson

Inree lame home starring
Claudette Colbert, is one of the
. best movies concerning the re-
cent war. Gwen if it does use
that old, worn out scene of the
radio flash of the bombing of
Pearl Harbor) The movie takes
place in British North Borneo
where Mrs. Keith (MiSs Colbert)
an American, lives with her
British husband. War is declared
and the Japs arrive and take
them to PW camps. Mrs. Keith
is separated from her husband
but is permitted to keep her
small son with her. The story
follows the transfers from one
camp to another and the suffer-
ing that went with them. Miss
Colbert gives superb perform
ance and should be nominated
for a 1850 Oscar. 1t will be re-
membered that Miss Colbert
won an Oscar for "It Happened
One Night" back in the early
30's. And she has remained one
of the top actresses in Holly
wood ever since.
"The Third Man Theme, the
theme music for the current
movie, "The Third Man, is the
most beautiful theme music
from a movie since "Intermezzo"
from the movie by the same
name in the early 40's. ("Inter-
mezzo", however, was a steal
from the opera Tristan and
Isolde".) Now the Third Man
Theme" is released it should be
but few weeks until it is the
number one song of the country.
The Anton Karas recording
which is from the sound track
of the movie is by far the best
recording but all the recordings
released to date are good. There
are several different versions of
the Third Man Theme"-in
England it is 'The Harry Lime
Theme"-Art MONEYS record
ing is ''The Either Serenade"-
Guy Lombardo's record is the
Third Man Theme" on one side
and "Cafe Mozart Waltz" on the
other. Regardless of which name
it is called the Third Man
Theme" will be around for a
long time.

George Rodgers was born in Texas,
In the town of Lagrange.
He had wonderful ideas,
SO decided to make change.
With his wife and little daughter,
He came out West;
Settled in the City of Phoenix,
Determined to do his best.
This determination grew,
Was put into practice each day,
In religious, fraternal and civic
work,
And in business more than one
way.
He is a member of the First Inst.
Baptist Church.;
His work is worthy and without
fears;
He served as Sunday School Sup
erintendent
For a period of twenty years.
He was financial secretary
For fifteen years a member of the

To the top of the ladder he

in, and this season promises to be
one of many upsets-from pro-ball
down. The New York Giants loom
as a strong contender in the east
ern conference of the pro league
already winning tough games
for a 80 record, including 60
victory over Paul Browns i'm
mortal Cleveland Browns. This was
the first shut-out suffered by the
Browns since entering the pro-game
five years ago.
Buddy Young, Sherman Howard
and George Taliaferro, Tan-stars
of the New York Yankees, are
keeping them on the winning side
with their great ball carrying and
are always threats to the opposi-
ton. Look for Taliaferro to be
one of your games leading scorers
in pro ball this season.
College ball is drawing the fans
in-greater than ever, with the
greatest upsets in the history of
the game being recorded early in
the season. Purdue's win over the
great Notre Dame last Saturday,
made upset history and form bet
tors, really took beating. :.
The biggest factor in the college
upsets can be attributed to the re-
turn of college-age youngsters to
the game. CT students have run
out and the pros taking advantage
of the CT Education-Bill to further
their learning have about ended
their 'tCollege-Days" and turned
the game over to the kids-Youth
and it's spirit cannot be measured
in points-so, look for many more
upsets in your college ranks before
the season ends.

minus the efforts of Halfback Fred
Batiste, who ruined the last Har-
din Simmons touchdown march
(once by running down ball-car-
rier and once by knocking down an
end zone pass) cannot play because
of Texas Westerns anti Negro
rule. This is sort of thing that
forced Arizona State of Tempe to
break off relations with Texas
Western, and Loyola of Los An
geles to forfeit it's game with the
Miners last week. The Cats should
fall in line and not tolerate or

America and Arizona is moving
