RIDING BACKWARD SAFER

Tests by the Air Force indicate that
passengers riding backwards can with
stand crash injuries much better than
those who ride facing the direction of
travel.
Six members of the Air Force, volun-
teering for tests, and seated in back
ward position, withstood force of 35 G's
with little difficulty Facing forward they
had to be strapped in with special harness.
The force, incidentally, is described as the
equivalent of stopping an automobile, go
ing Is miles an hour in distance of nine
feet
Because of injuries in crash landings
the Air Force was anxious to find out how
much the human body could stand. The
tests involved the equivalent of crash
landing and the information CLEANED from

UNLAWFUL POLITICAL ACTIVITY

In connection with political activity

neciicut Internal Revenue Division were
charged with unlawful political activity.
The Civil Service Commission found
nine Of them guilty and they have been
removed from office. Six employees were
found not guilty.
Il II encouraging that, in at least one
investigation. Federal employees have been

There Ia reason to suspect that other en-
ployes may be guilty of such activity but

Another phase of the matter involves
the time that has elapsed since the alleg-
ga political activity and the verdict against
those found guilty. More than three years
after the election, the Civil Service Com
mission comes up with decision. While
there may be circumstances which justify
such delay. the quicker any punishment
follows unlawful activity, the better the

CARS FOR WHITE HOUSE

The White House will soon have a
fleet of five seven-passenger limousines and
one seven-passenger convertible, with
bullet-p proof glass and heavily-armored
motor, hood and sides, it is said.
The cars will cost about 100000 each
but will be leased to the White House for
a small annual rental, Each will have spec
ial fittings including twO-way radios.
This may look like extraordinary pre-
caution in a land where the people rule
and there is a general state of peaceful
content. Nevertheless, it is wise pre-
caution, fully justified by the possible ex-
lstence of cranks, morons and the mem
lly-unbalanced.

FARM SUPPORT PROGRAM

80 ITn;ted states in 1919 and the govern
mant under its price support programs,
had to take over vast amount % farm
products. This does not mean Ohat most
of the money invested in these coHmoui-
ties will he lost Some may be but bad
weather and poor crops might change the
nicture IN 1850 and enable the govern
inent 10 make d profit ON SOME Of its sup
niles This has happened before.
1t is interesting to note, for the bene-
fit of those who still belabor the price sup
bort program. that the proposed federal
hndpet for the fiscal year 1851 calls for
only Spk2 100000 for farm price sup;
nurfs. This compares with $1,6OO,OOO, 900
in 1919 and almost as much in 1850. The
axnactation of decreased demands is bas-
ed upon the elemental fact that control
programs have been initiated and that
they will have some effect upon the COM
ing seasons production.
With close to S3,500,OOO. 900 invested
in farm SURPRISES the government Is not
anxious to augment the total. Sweeping
cuts in acreage and drops in the support
price level for potatoes and eggs support
the hope that the program will cost less
and that world market conditions may
become normal.
While 80 per cent of parity continues
to be the plan for the six basic commodl-
ties, including wheat, corn, cotton. rice,
peanuts and tobacco, the support to be
accorded potatoes has been cut to go per
cent and, in the case Of eggs, to IS per
cent. These two commodities, both being
perishable, caused much of the headaches
that have plagued the present support
program.
So far as the six basic crops are con-
cerned three are under the dual restraint
of acreage allotments and marketing
quotas. These are peanuts, tobacco and
cotton. Corn, wheat and rice are under
acreage control but not marketing quo
tas. Thus, it seems, the growers of these
crops, acting wisely, have cooperated in
steps designed to reduce output until
carryovers become nearer their. usual size.
The peoples of the world, it may be
said can use the entire production of
American farmers. That is true but there
is no way for them to buy our SURPRISES.
Our foolish international trade policy,
including the high tariff prevents other
nations from selling their goods on the
U. S. market, and thus makes it impos
sible for the INTO get the dollar exchange
necessary to buy farm products.
The reduction in paintings which
means severe cut in production, Is deplor-
ed in some circles but it would be extreme
ly foolish for American farmers to plan
bumper crops until, and unless, there is
a market for them at a fair price. When
the demand drops, the agriculturalists,
with governmental guidance, should do
what every factory does, reduce output
until demand increases.

Tydings Pledges Fight
Against 'IsoIationism'
OF Chicago Tribune
BY the Associated Press

ANNAPOLIS, Nov. 1.-Senator
Tydings. Democrat, of Maryland
declared last night in a campaign
speech that Il expect to have 1t
out and out with the Chicago
Tribune until this world is Or
ganized for peace and not for
war"
He termed the newspaper "the
greatest isolationist power and
force in this country"
And I am not an isolationist," !"
he added.
Senator Tydings was chairman
of the Senate Committee which
investigated charges by Senator
Mccarthy. Republican. of Wis
consin that Communists had in
flltrated the State Department.
The Maryland Senator is a candi-
date for reelection to a fifth
consecutive term.
The Democratic majority on
the committee reported that it
could find no basis for the
charges.
He told an audience of about
$50 in the State House:
I've suddenly become a very
dangerous man. I hope all of you
will be able to sleep tonight. and
not worry about my blowing up
this State House, tearing down
the American Flag or shooting
the President"
Senator Tydings said his 'rep-
utation as a dangerous man"
came in part from the Chicago
Tribune, the Washington Times
Herald and the Mutual Broad
casting System.
My whole activity" he said,
will continue to be to keep the
Reds out of this country. But I
am not going to machine-gun in
nocent people in the process, be-
cause that would be bringing the
Russian kind of tyranny right
to the United States ...
"You cannot afford to put isola-
tionists on guard. You and your
children and their children can
be saved only by keeping the free
nations armed until. a permanent
peace is devised"
