New Administrative
Post Set Up At
State University

The establishment of a new ad-
mimstratiVe post at the University
OF Delaware-that of provost-and
the appointment to it of DR.. Allan
P. COlburn was announced today by
former Judge Hugh M. Morris,
president of the university's trus-
tees.
Since April 1, DR.. COlburn has
been the university's acting presi-
dent, and he will continue in that
position until the newly-elected
president, DR.. John A. Perkins, ar
rives about November 1, Judge
Morris said.
When DR.. Perkins was elected by
the trustees on Saturday, the board
voted to create the office of provost
and selected DR.. Colburn for it.
Judge Morris said that he has now
received DR.. Colburn's acceptance
of the post. The new provost will
take Office upon DR.. Perkins ar
rival, but because his position is a
new one at the University of Della
ware, his exact duties will be de-
fined later by the trustees.
One of the nations outstanding
chemical engineers, DR.. COlburn
has been at the university since
1888. He was an associate professor
of chemical engineering for three
years, and has held the rank of
professor since 1871. For nine
years he was chairman of the de-
partment, leaving this post only
when he was named assistant to the
president and adviser on research
in July, 1947. He held the latter
position until he assumed the act
ing presidents role last spring,
when DR.. William S. Carlson left
Delaware for the presidency CT the
University of Vermont.
The new provost joined the Uni
versity of Delaware faculty after
nine years service with The dupont
Company as a research chemical

UP TO you

Congress has given the President sweep
ing standby controls over the economy-in-
eluding the authority to impose rationing
and wage and price controls if he finds them
necessary. The bill, as passed, actually gave
the President a great deal more authority
In this direction than he had requested. Now
1t remains to be seen if the major controls
will be placed in effect-and here is where
the public, through its actions, will have
strong voice in the matter. 1t has been said
ten thousand times that there is no reason
whatsoever for boarding and scarce-buying.
It should be repeated ten thousand times
more. American industry and agriculture
can meet all fOreseeable military needs and
still provide the civilian population with all
the necessities and most of the Injuries.
Moreover, we have distribution machine
fully capable of keeping up with the pro-
ductlon machine. It is made up of the thou
sands Of American retail stores-large and
small, chain and independent 1t can make
sure that goods Of all kinds will be made
available to US at fair prices. But boarding.
on large enough scale, could defeat this
END. And then the black market would re-
turn, and the racketeer would assume more
ana more Of the functions of the legitimate
merchants. The American factory, the Am
eIlcan farm, and the American store can
eQultaoly deal with any conceivable supply
problem. They can do it without onerous
controls which, in the long run, would hurt

WATCHING THE POLITICAL WINDS

To put it mildly, the political strategists
of both parties are in a state of confusion
and wonder as to what changes, if any, the
November elections will produce. Republi-
can and Democratic party spokesman have
gone through the routine of saying they ex-
pect whopping victories at the polls. Neither
side. it is safe to say, is anywhere as conf
dent as those standard-brand prognostica-
tons would indicate.
The primaries have not demonstrated
much of anything. Both pro-Truman and
anti-Truman candidates have won. The New
Hampshire primary was watched with the
greatest Interest, where pro- Truman Senator
Tobey ran against an anti-Truman war vet
eran. Senator TObey made the grade, but
by very scant margin. In the Maine cleo
ton, the COP candidates, as usual, won in a
walk Elsewhere results were indecisive.
The Democratic position will be much the
same as it was last time It will be argued
that the President is the friend of the masses
OF the people and the enemy of the exploiters,
and that his program is just what the cOun-
try needs. 1t will be necessary to elect a
strongly Democratic Congress, the argument
will continue, to give him the support he
must have. The Taft-Hartley law will I'M
dOubtedly take verbal beating, as a bid is
made for the important labor vote. The
Brannan plan will get its full share of praise,
as an inducement to the farmer to stay on
the Democratic side of the ticket.
The dismissal of Secretary johnson, a
bare two weeks after the President said that
he would keep that official on for the dura-
ton of his Administration, is a straw in the
wind Public and Congressional opinion had
fiared up against Mr.. Johnson to the point
where, the political high command decided,
he was an impossible liability to the party.
General Marshall, with his vast prestige and
splendid record, was from that point of view
perfect choice.
That the Republicans have plenty Of am
munitiOn goes without saying. The vast
change for the better in the Korean situation
does not detract from the fact that we were
utterly unprepared for a war there. The
right-about-face that the Administration has
made in Asiatic policy provides the COP
with potent weapon Great criticism will
be made Of the Administrations demand that
private citizens retrench when It continues
domestic spending at an increasing rate
while piing on top of it an unpredictable
number of bilions-S30 ,000.060,0O0 for the
next fiscal year alone-fOr military purposes.
The basic Republican argument win be that
the Democrats have at last proven them
selves utterly incapable of guiding this coun-
try through the period Of strain and grave
danger that lies ahead. The Republican lead
erS feel that there is evidence that this belief
has grown in the grass-roots. Whether it
has grown to a sufficient extent to change
the control Of Congress is what no one knows.
And that is what will make the coming cleo
tons unusually interesting as well as vitality
important.

FIVE YEARS OF sQUANDERING

Senator Byrd has summed up, in telling
words, the financial experience of this gov
eminent since the end of the last war. 'In
these five years." he said, 'we have squand-
cred the greatest prosperity ever to come to
any nation. The Federal government has
collected far more taxes than ever before.
1t has spent far more money on purely do
mestic-civilian programs than ever before.
1t has spent far more money abroad than
ever before 1t has spent far more money
for defense than ever before without achievI
ing preparedness. And we have failed to cur
tail the greatest public debt any nation has
ever known" This is not a matter of crying
over split milk. 1t is true that the CHASTITY
waste of the past cannot be retrieved. But
the failures of yesterday can serve as a guide
for today and tomorrow. Pending measures,
which have the near-unanimous approval of
Congress, will bring the cost of national de-
Tense alone to $3O,0OO,OOO,OOO a year and
perhaps much more. In the battle for sur
>vival in which we are engaged, such costs
may continue indefinitely. In the light of
this, what conceivable excuse can there be
for domestic spending which can either be
postponed or abandoned entirely? It is said
that the Russians look forward to the COL
lapse of the capitalist nations, particularly
the United States, from inner weaknesses.
II our criminal governmental waste cOntin-
ues, the Russians will eventually be proved
right.

In view of the coming elections will confine

much of what I mention might just as well be an
piled to state and local government taxes and ex-

"FAITH IN THINGS SPIRITUAL"

Millions of Americans will be urged to
read and reread the Bible in the near fl-
ture. The occasion is National Bible Week.
October 1922, which is sponsored by the
Laymen's National Committee.
The Week will have, as participants, per
sons of all faiths and creeds. It is DESIGNED
to appeal to people of every age and in all
walks of life-the housewife, the factory
worker, the farmer, the businessman. the
professional worker. Governors and MAYORS
and others will issue proclamations asking
that all turn again to the Holy Scriptures.
We live in world which seems to have
become almost utterly materialistic-a world
IN which the black shadow of war is seen
once more. Yet in such a world matters of
the spirit remain all-impOrtant. General
Bradley the chief military officer of the ma
ton, has written, "Our enemy has faith in
things material. I do not hesitate to saw. as
a soldier, that we must have faith in things
spiritual. That faith diminishes physical
hardshlps and enhances physical valor. It
can--and, l am sure, will-shorten our trial
and speed our triumph"
