Truman Must Have Power To Use Con- trols, If and When

WASHINGTON, (P)-The gov ernment's top economic mobilizer urged yesterday that President Truman be given a free hand in putting any wage-price-rationing controls into effect.
 w. Stuart Symington, chairman of the National Security Resources Board, made a special trip to the Capitol to discuss the matter.
 He talked behind closed doors with chairman Maybank D.-S. e. of the Senate Banking Committee.
 Maybank told reporters Sym ington emphasized that any stand by plan for imposing wage, price and rationing curbs should let the President decide when or whether they should be used.
 On the other side of the Capitol the House appeared set to give the President powers to control virtually every phase of American life. .>..
 As demands mounted for across the board controls to curb infla- ton and what is needed in the Korean war, the only question ap- peared to be the form the Presi- dential powers would take.
 Symington talked with May bank as the Senate banking com mittee resumed discussion of g proposal which would deny the President discretionary authority in putting wage-price-rationing curbs into effect.
 The committee began consider ing Wednesday an automatic de vice for invoking such curbs when the cost of living reaches a cer- tain point. A formula still is being worked out.
 Maybank said Symington did not directly oppose the automatic proposal, but concentrated on the idea of giving the President free hand.
 Members of the committee dis agreed yesterday, however, as tc whether the group had formally decided to adopt the suggestion by Senator Fulbright O.-Ark0 to tie controls to the cost of living.
 Chairman Maybank R.-S. O. who announced Wednesday that the committee did make such a decision by voice vote, told re- porters yesterday there was "just discussion of making a study o1 some such procedure"
 However, Sen. Douglas O.-Ill.) said the committee made a firm decision to adopt the Fulbright proposal.
 There were unconfirmed re- ports that the White House had protested vigorously overnight to Maybank that the Fulbright plan would destroy the flexibility MT. Truman has insisted he should have with respect to putting the controls into effect.

COOP NURSERIES.
From Mrs. w. g., Arlington.J

tTOm Mrs. w. H., AfLtngtOnJ
I enjoy reading the RICH and
seldom miss it. I have noticed
queries occasionally about nur-
sery schools and more recently
descriptions of several neighbor-
hood cooperative schools in
Washington. 1t might be helpful
if mothers had more general in
formation.
A popular trend in the Mary
land, Washington and Virginia
area is the cooperative school. in
which neighborhood groups of
parents employ trained personnel
to operate a nursery school or
kindergarten. The parents assist
with maintenance, transportation
and kitchen chores in order to
keep the monthly fees within rea-
son Qess than the cost of baby
sitter. The most attractive fea-
ture, other than the low cost, is
that parents, especially mothers,
have an opportunity to see how
their child adjusts to group, and
also a wider variety of supervised
activities than the home can pro-
vide. Many fine friendships have
developed among the 3 to 6-year-
olds. Some schools have been so
successful they have expanded to
include grade school.
In addition to conferences be-
tween parents and teachers, some
schools provide the services OF a
psychiatrist, or child therapist, on
a consulting basis.
There is a Maryland Federation
of Coop Schools, also a Potomac
Federation, and Federation of
Coop Schools of Northern Vir-
ginia, with which I happen to be
most familiar.
We have II coop schools-to
mention a few to show the wide
range of neighborhoods: The
Langley School in Mclean, Falls
Church, Annandale, Beverly Hills.

Upon this date (unless he's stupid)
Each fellow takes his cue from
cupid.
He writes verse he thinks divine
And mails it to his Valentine.
A lovely custom I agree,
But one that's difficult for me
Because, though I may seem to
boast,
I've Valentines from coast to coast
You girls who read these daily
lines
Are all John Powers Valentines,
And I shall use this space today
To toss my Valentine bouquet:
If you reside in Tenn. or Mass.
Then you must be my favorite lass;
And if you live in Del. or Cal.
swear you are my only gal;
And you of Mont. and Mo. and
MINI.
Are all ever want to win,
Excepting you who dwell in Ca,
and Tex, and La, and Pa. and
Fla.
In short, the one love the best
Lives in the East or in the West,
Or States that in between them
park,
Like H., and Wis, and KY, and
Ark.
And special praises are in order
For you in Can. above the border.
In bygone days the lover wrote
Sweet ballads to his lady's throat,
Or sonnets from his quill would
flow
In praise of eyebrow, ear or toe.
But times have changed-my poem
sings
OF finer. fairer, substler things.
AS I this type-machine do peck
write not Of my lady's neck
But Of my lady all entire.
Who fans my spark into fire.

also egg shells. Please, some kind

About the world I once did hop
And looked upon the foreign crop,
But, though it's fun to rove and
roam,
The fairest flowers here at home.
The beauty that enchants this man
Is trim, long -stemmed American.
(Ah, yes, my dear, I write of you!
Blush if you will, the statements

Hosannas for your tasteful dress.
Your figure, voice and naturalness,
Your warmth of heart, your coolth

Your cooking for the man you've

Your choice of hat and gown and

Your grace in motion and repose.

old books, some of which have
been in my family for over 100
years. While the pages of the
books are in excellent condition,
from improper storage and no
doubt age, the bindings are in a

I find that the cost of rebinding
is almost prohibitive and I would

THE most formidable list extant

children of men,"
The manner of their going var
les from the sudden swapping of
life's thread, up through various
forms of demise, to the lingering
type where life GIBBS away drop by
drop. In this latter manner, and
through the deep waters of afflic-
ton, our friend and brother, Ar
thur r. Russell, came to the end
of life's journey.
Sad indeed, were it not for the
hope that life beyond the grave
recOnciles the disasters of earth.
We turn to the inspired pages and
find a commentary to dispense the
gloom and shine through the deep
est sorrow. We are also reminded
of the prayer for the boys who
died in battle in which the author
asks that they be given "the
cOuches where the angels Sleep"
Is it not just as logical to pray that
compensation be granted for other
types of tribulatiOn?

shrine of friendship that has ex-
listed many years and / bear testi-

That others responded to these
noble traits with affection and adj
m1ratiOn is attested by those who
attended the funeral. They came
in no perfunctory mood, but in a
spirit Of grief and sorrow. Many
beautiful flowers were placed as
tokens of grief and affection, but
the most impressive tokens were
the silent tears on so many faces.
The uppermost thought that

he held his loved ones in his heart
