EIGHTH ARMY HEADQUART-
Frs, Korea, Dec. II (INS)- A
merican jet pilots hit four Red
jets, probably destroying two, in
renewed air fighting involving 1T
planes over northwest Korea to-
day.
The days two jet battles were
in sharp contrast to action along
the frozen ground where a lull
prevailed, broken only by minor
clashes.
All of the 62 American F-86 Sa-
brejets which tangled with lis
Russian-made MIG-15's got back
safely from the two whirling en-
gagements.
In the morning, &c Sabres

streaked into blazing battle with
so MICS over ANU. Outnumbered
nearly two to one, the Sabre pilots
hit one of the Red jets, which was
listed as probably shot down., and
chased the others back to their
Manchurian sanctuary.
During the afternoon, a 10-plane
battle broke out over Sinanju as
SO Sabres took on 65 MICS. One
of the sweptwing MICS was re-
corded by the Fifth Air Force as
probably destroyed andtwo others
damaged.
The shrieking dogfights over
northwest Korea's "MIG Alley"

up to more than five miles above

Heve this will hold up for some time; but it must
decline before prices of food clothing and shelter
will tumble
Yet, we must remember that only $50 of our
workers are unionized. The great mass are
still free to work where they wish, as they wish
and for what they wish. These are the true Ameri-
cans, in my humble judgment These will supply
the foremen' managers and future employers of
our great growing country. If you always want to
work for someone else, then Join a Union IT. how
ever you want to be free man and climb to the
top of some business, don't be tied to Union rules
DOLLARS ARE WORTH LESS
Another reason why the Government cannot now
reduce prices is because the dollar will be worth
less next year Just now President Truman is bal
ancing the nations budget; but he can't do this
next year He must print money or bonds to help
pay for the military expenditures Paper dollars
are little different from paper dolls or any other
commodity. As the supply increases above normal
the price goes down. Government bonds have al
ready dropped in price, dollar bills will tumble
again soon.
Many readers of my column send me charts and
figures showing how prices have temporarily been
controlled in the past but they forget we are now
living in an entirely new economic age. During his
Administration, President Roosevelt DESTROYED the
Gold Basis for dollar bills. This Gold Basis
prevented prices from going too high Now the only
thing that can prevent prices, wages, real estate
ETC., from staying up is either "a reduction in the
supply OF printing press money" business bust.
Surely the price Of gold viii again be marked up
SHALL YOU BUY NOW?
Don't buy now for boarding Prices will not sIxv-
rocket There will continue to be enough neces-
sary goods. On the other hand don't wait for lower
prices on goods you really need. Buy naturally;
save naturally; and live naturally Be neither a
hoarder nor speculatOr; be neither scrimper nor
waster; be a God-fearing, sensible citizen and

tiHS Inc Ouly way prices VIII
now be lowered is by reducing quality or forcing
unemployment. AS long as full employment exists
prices will continue to depend-not on Washington
rulings-but on supply and demand. If American
families go back to having a good beef roast only
on Sundays, then the price Of beef will decline If
on the other hand they decide to have roast twice
week. then the price will remain high
Here in New York City is the great central mar
ket for mems and womens clothing. Upon inquiries
today learn that the prices which you see in win
doWs and advertisements may be kept down, but
the quality will not be good. If you want good
quality suits or dresses you must pay more This
does not mean that the manufacturer of the brand
you have always bought has marked up his goods
but that his old best-quality goods are no longer
available Hence to get good quality you must
buy a brand which has always cost more This
applies to almost everything clothing, furniture
and canned goods.
WHAT ABOUT WAGES?
The take home" wages are determined bv SUM-
ply and demand. Labor Unions can make manu-
facturers pay more wages, but they cannot make
the public buy more merchandise. The bureaucrats
at Washington can set a fair" hourly wage but
they cannot assure work to the Union members The
take home" pay is the product of the hourly wage
multiplied by the number of hours worked I be-

THE WRONG WAR

General Omar Bradley told the joint Sen
ate Armed Services-Foreign Relations Com
mittee that General MacArthur's proposals
to pursue the war against the Communists
in Korea was "the wrong war, at the wrong
place, at the wrong time, and with the wrong
enemy"
Did the Joint Chiefs of Staff suggest this
possibility to President Truman when he
threw the United States into the Korean
War in June 1850?
Is the President, with disregard of Con-
gress, to continue one-man trial-and-error
effort to find the right war, at the right place,
at the right time, and with the right enemy?

START AT THE TOP

Mobilization Director Charles E. Wilson
has urged that states cities and counties put
off all pOstpOnable projects for the duration
OF the emergency if they would have to be
financed by borrowings. This suggestion is
based on the need to halt inlatiOnary spend
ing and to conserve materials and manpOwer
To avoid runaway rise in prices he Observ-
ed, 1t is now necessary to take all practicable
steps to reduce nOn-defense demand. Mr.. Will
sons idea is a splendid one, and it is certainly
to be hoped that the governors, mayors and
county officials to whom he wrote will follow
1t. However, it does not go far enough. The
great, sprawling Federal government must
economic to the limit too, if imitation is to be
checked and controlled Without going into
the intricate details, the policy of the FEEDER
al government has been to create more and
more credit, and to steadily enlarge the
money supply, at time when there has been
no comparable increase in the supply. of goods
and services available for purchase by the
people. The result, of course, is ever-increas-
ing initiation, and a continuing depreciation
OF the poor old dollar. State and local gov
ernments have been serious offenders when
1t comes to unnecessary spending and bOr-
rowing. But the Federal government has been
an infinitely greater Offender-and it is the
one which must set the right example or it
IS waste of breath to talk about controlling
initiation.

DON'T TOUCH MINE

Early this year President Truman de-
manded that $40 billion in taxes be collected
from the American people. Democrats now
plan to increase the peoples taxes by 1919
per cent.
Republican Senator John J. Williams of
Delaware introduced a measure January II
Is. $50 repeating special tax exemptions
enjoyed by the President, the Vice Presi-
dent, the Speaker of the House and the Mem
bers of Congress. The Seantor felt that off
cials of the Government should set the ex-
ample of making sacrifices.
The Senator then wrote to the President
explaining his reasons for introducing his
measure and asking Presidential endorse
'ment. AS of May 21, Senator Williams had
yet to receive a reply.
1t seems strange for the President not to
be writing letters. But perhaps he has al
ready replied in a different manner Sena-
tor Williams said that before the National
Conference on Citizenship, meeting in Wash
lngtOn May 18, the President spoke of the
dangers of initiation and called attention to
people who were willing to have everybody
but themselves make sacrifices. Mr.. Truman
was quoted as saying:
Everybody says prices must be held
down, but you must hold down eVerybOdys
but mine. Everybody else must take a cut.
but be careful, don't cut mine."
