MORE FRIGHTFUL

There is scientific basis for believing that the development of the hydrogen bomb logical con- sequence of the nucear experimentation which created there is practical basis the suppositon since it is explained that new plants will be needed for production of the latest weapon of destruction and that the cost of turning the bombs out will be rela- lively low.
 If these things are true, they further indica- ton that President Truman made the only possible practical choice in telling the Atomic Energy Con- mission to go ahead with the production of the "H bomb" Through one means another Russia-the only power in the world we need fear-already has mastered the technique of nucear fisson. From that instant it developed into mere matter of time be- fore the USSR could contrive bomb embodying production which takes place continuously in the sun and stars.
 The decision taken, reluctantly, pending inter- national agreement atomic energy control. It was first supposed that the A-bomb would be so terrible a weapon that civilized nations would get together and outlaw it. Then the A-bomb was devalued as military asset, and this nation began stockpling A bombs seeking security only in numbers. The H. bomb theoretically capable of frying the inhabitants an entire large city in matter of seconds poses anew the question of when mankind will be so dis ready to call a halt. We think if we were dealing with truly civilized government on the other side of the world that time would be declared at hand now But given the present set of world circumstances we just simply don't know. And dare not guess.

prohibition. He started to keep his promise regarding economy but was only too soon involved in New Deal expenditures; he kert his promise concerning the abolition of pro- hibition.
 MT. Truman faces the growing anger of the American people over wasteful. inefficient and even cor ruptive expenditures. Farmers are beginning to question the worth of subsidies. The wiser veterans are not little ashamed at some of the so-called educational ex- penditures of the Veterns' Adminis- tration. Great questions are being asked about the use of REC money to finance incompetently managed businesses. Questions are being ask ed about financing Swiss watches to kill American watch making; about financing Czech, British and Japanese crockery to kill off Am erican-made crockery.
 It is beginning to pile up into a mighty protest, into an overall inquiry as to what is happening to our money. MT. Truman would do well to put his ear to the ground.

 Figures by themselves are often misleading. They need to be related to comparable data. Yet, it is as- founding that from 1789 to 1883 (144 years), the Government of the United States spent $1l2,720,800,- 0CO. Then from 1884 to 1945, the Roosevelt era, which included a great war, the Government of the United States spent $375,804, ,100,- 000 In a word, in Il years, Franklin D. Roosevelt spent more than three times as much as was spent from George Washington to Herbert Hoover, inclusive.
 From 1946 to 1851 (the new bud get will run to June 30, 1851, {, Harry Truman, in five years, will have spent S259, 76,200,OO0. Com pairing Roosevelt and Truman, Roosevelt in the peace years of his administration, from 1883 to l941, spent $72,6O1 100000 Truman then has spent in five years three and one half times as much as Roosevelt spent in his peace years, including 1889, 1940 and 1941, a 9eriod of preparation for war and lid to Great Britain. This question 1f expenditures must be considered from the standpoint of the survival of our national economy.
 This must be said for MT. Tru- man: Much of his expenditure is ] result of a continuing war. Sev- enty percent of the 1950-1951 bud- get is to pay for past, present and future wars When a business man faces fixed charges, from which he cannot retreat, he watches his other expenditures closely to make sure that he can avert bankruptcy. He might even try to do something about his fixed charges.
 Truman's fault is not that he was caught in bad situation, not of his making, but that he has not done much to save the situation. For instance, while no one would deprive a veteran of his just due, the veterans themselves ought to oppose wasteful expenditures. For while they are veterans, they are also citizens and taxpayers. As cit izens, they do not want their coun- try to go bankrupt; as taxpayers, they do not want the tax rates to be one cent higher than is absolut- ely essential.
 When Herbert Hoover's Commis- sion made proposals for increased deficiencies in the Veterans Ad- ministration, some officers of Vet erans' organizations protested and used their great influence to smear

Frankie Costello

Some of New Works high-pow- cred publicity experts have been touting a Hollywood actors recent attempt to have Frankie Costello deported. Here is what this col umnist said about Costello on July q, l947, almost three years ago.
 The kingpin of American gamb- lers, once the biggest liquor racket ger in the country, Frank Costello, could be deported from the United States if anyone really wanted to get tough about it.
 Frankie Costello migrated here from Italy around 1895 and became a naturalized citizen in 1925 At the time Costello took the oath of citizenship, however, he glossed over certain things which, if dis covered in the record of any other less powerful person, would cause him to lose his citizenship and be deported.
 For instance, Costello did not tell the Government. when he took the oath as a citizen, that he had pre- giously served a term in jail for carrying a concealed weapon.
 Even more important, a new citizen of the United States takes an oath to upheld the laws and Constitution of the United States
 "Yet at the very moment Frankie Costello was taking his solemn oath as an American citizen, he was also engaged in the largest scale viola tion of the Volstord Act and the 18th Amendment in the history ot prohibition.
 "The 18th Amendment at that time was very definite part of the Constitution. And while Costello was holding up his right hand and solemnly swearing to uphold the Constitution, he was also engaged in violating it"

appeared before the House Appro- priations Committee.
 Georgia Neese Clark is a pretty name" remarked young Rep. Cor don Garfield of New Jersey. And it looks good on the paper currency of the United States. I am glad to greet you as the new Treasurer.
 Your predecessor (The late w. A. Julian) always indulged in a little salty language" continued the New Jersey Republican. While we do not expect that of you, we do hope that you will have one pet aversion that he had-namely, to an enormous public debt
 Mrs. Clark replied that she would do her best to emulate Julian regarding this aversion.
 Note-When Mrs. Clark was di- vorced, her husband wanted her to take back her maiden name. But Mrs Clark said she had used the name for some years and didn't want to change He yielded grace fully, So when the first greenback was issued bearing her name, Mrs. Clark sent it her friendly ex-hus- band with a notation: Clark isn't a bad name to have on Uncle Sam's currency"

COP Medicine

Mass screenings for tuberculosis in various cities have been so well received that the Government hopes to make voluntary health tests av- allable on nation wide basis soon. Instead of being limited to TB alone, however, the proposed physi- cal exams would cover a wide range of diseases.
 The plan is to reach thousands of victims who for some reason are not getting medical treatment particularly sufferers in early, or incipient, stages who are relatively easy to cure.
 After a complete physical check up, a person requiring medical att tention would be referred to his family doctor. Federal grants-in aid to the states would be provided for those unable to pay for treat ment, under a plan being worked out by the U. S. Public Health Service.
 The proposed program would not be compulsory, and, in the opinion of Republicans, not 'socialistic." In fact, the man who will carry the ball in Congrass is a rcck-ribbed Republican, Rep. Frank Keefe of Wisconsin.
 Also the program has been given a trial run in Richmond, Va with the cooperation of state health officials and has met with favor able response. Between 400 and 500 persons a day have passed through the Richmond Clinic. Another "pi- lot" clinic is being set up in Indian apolis and a third will be located in Atlanta, Ga.

What Price Bravery?
(Ketchikan News)

Bravery has price
 One gets thrill of pride at the self-sacrIicing actions for the ten survivors of the snow -shrouded storm-swept Yukon mountain not far from Whtehorse
 It was nothing less than miraculous that only three of the crew injured in the crash of the plane.
 After the wrecked plane sighted began the rescue work. At times the weather was 60 degrees below zero Most of the time adverse storm conditions
 An American doctor and Canadian para-troops took their lives in hand by parachutng near the scene of the wreck. Their pilot had to do most of the flying blind seeking low attitudes for the jump
 Meantime also ground crew with weasel was started for the wreck Then a hecopter was pressed into service
 Every minute and every hour of that rescue work was frought with peril But all parties concerned went at it as though it was part of their ordinary work.
 There is no price for such bravery and self sacrifice. Every engaged in that rescue work should receive a commendation More especially the doctor paratroops who volunteered for the danger mission.

Herbert Hoover. Instead, they should have joined his effort, be- cause then they would be serving their members as veterans, citizens and taxpayers. Instead, they chose to serve public officials who hate to be deprived of a single expendi- ture The President has not made this clear to the public.
 President Truman is making the same mistake politically that the Republicans did in 1882. At that time. it might be recalled the coun- try had grown very weary of pro- hibition. The feeling was very gen. eral that the bootleggers and the prohibition agents had to go. In

addition, the American people were suffering from the shock of the first years of the depression.
 Yet, there were some Republi- cans who believed that they could squeeze one more election out of prohibition. All who advised that a change had come over the coun- try and that the vote would go the other way, were scoffed at. The Anti-saloon League still had a voice in Republican councils.
 It is often forgotten by many today. but Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1882 ran on an economy and beer program. He promised to cut Gov ernment expenditures and to end
