ECONOMISTS:
Urge Sitter Tuxes

Four hundred economists, mem.
bers of 80 institutions throughout
the country, recently urged the gov
eminent to increase taxes and
tighten controls.
Their views were interesting in
that they all believed that emer-
gency fiscal and credit policies
rather than price-wage controls.
constitute our primary defense
against initiation.
They recommended:
l. Scrutinize carefully all gov
eminent expenditures and postpone
or eliminate those that are not ur.
gent and essential.
z. Raise tax revenues even fast
er than defense spending grows
so as to achieve and maintain a
cash surplus. Merely to balance
the budget is not enough.
3. Restrict the amount of credit
available to businesses and individ-
uals for purposes not essential to
the defense program.
The recommendation to achieve
cash surplus would require tax
increase of more than $4,000, OOO,.
900, the minimum required to bal.
ance the new budget.

DRAFT:
Bitter Controversy

The all-powerful house armed
services committee stepped into
the bitter controversy over draft
ing 18-year-olds for armed service
duty with an order to the defense
department to consider raising the
top draft age from 26 to 80 as an
alternative.
The move virtually put a stop to
the departments plan of drafting
l8-year-olds. Congress may still act
on the measure, however, which the
defense department reports would
provide between 100000 and 100000
men during the first year.
Also in the draft news was the
announcement by the defense de-
partment that non-veterans 10
through Is who have married since
the Korean war began June Is,
1850. should be drafted Only single
non-veterans now are being taken.
Plans also we're underway to
lover the draft standards. This
move would provide perhaps $780,.
900 men now barred for physical
and mental reasons.

Grist for Sen. Mccarthy

Presiding at the town hall cere-
monies in Swarthmore was William
H. Ward, now top executive of
the Du Pont company, who, like
me, worked his way through college
by spending his summers on a
chautaqua tent crew. And I
couldn't help but remember how
Bill Ward and Gibson Bradfield,
now GAINESVILLE, Ohio's, leading
banker. once took advantage of the
liquid GOODNESS of the fountain in
the public square at Wellsboro,
Pennsylvania, to remove the all
night CRIME of taking down a tent

At any rate, l was acquitted in
Reidsville, N. c., and there was
even a little lecture by the judge
to the arresting cop that it was the
duty of every citizen to keep clean.
What Senator Mccarthy doesn't
know, however, is that the burned
records in the old town hall at
SWarthmore would have showed that
l was also arrested on an entire
ly different charge at an earlier
age (about l5) and that time found
guilty.
1t was after a college football
game. Swarthmore had beaten its
old rival, Haverford. The two
Quaker colleges were supposed to
practice brotherly love, but didn't.

Backbone Of America

Well, all these memories and a
lot of others came crowdng back
at that dedication ceremony. And
among them was the realization
that our small towns are the back
bone of America. and that if we
ever lose our small-town independ-
ence, and the community spirit
that goes with it, then we might
really be in danger of going the way
of Russia.
The tendency of our modern.
streamlined nation is to concentrate
too much power in Washington.
Most people blame Washington for
this, though actually part of the
blame belongs at home. For, when
some towns can't or do not raise
enough taxes to build new school,
houses or pay their teachers, then
they come to Washington for fed.
eral aid to education. And when
states want new roads, they are
eager beavers in tapping the pub
lic-roads subsidy in Washington.
So Washington can't be blamed
for exercising that power.

EUROPE:
Time for Cooperation

In the last few weeks, especial
ly since General Eisenhower made
his tour of Europe, there seems to
have developed feeling of mutual
cooperation between the United
States and our allies
The reluctance to arm and speed
up production that was evident
only a few months ago disappeared
Britain has launched a production
speed-up and rearmament program
And now France has announced
plans to take her place beside
the us. and Britain.
To further this cooperation
French Premier Rene Pleven ar
rived in Washington for conferences
with President Truman. After a
series of meetings it was announced
Pleven and Truman were in agree,
ment as to policy in the far east
especially in Korea and Indochina
Most observers agreed the talks
would open the way for greater
cooperation among the western
nations in the defense of Europe
with much greater participation on
the part of France.

Foundation Of America

7 WENT UP to the little Pennsyl-
vania town where I spent most
OF my boyhood, to help dedicate the
beginning of a new town hall few
weeks ago. 1t brought back a lot
OF memories. 1t also set me think
ing about what forms the real foun-
dation of government in this coun-
try-namely, the small towns of
America.
SWarthmore boosted about 1000
people when I grew up there, and it
still isn't much bigger now. The
houses are of that early peniten-
tiary, mansard-roof type; solid, a
little ugly, but both the hearth
stones and the hearts of the people
inside are warm.
A few things about my town
have changed in the 30-odd years
since I moved away-but not many.
There's a new movie house-un-
heard of in my day. And an under
pass has replaced the old railroad
grade crossing where Waterman
Mike Mccarthy, friend of every kid
in town, used to fret and fume I'M
til school was out and all the chill
dren had been herded across the
tracks.
Some swank new homes have
been built in the COW pastures and
woods where once trapped
skunks; but Frank Gettz, now the
town tax assessor, greeted me with
the observation: 1.-THE skunk-catch-
ing isn't so good up here any more,
but see you're still catching them
down in Washington"

WAGES-PRICES:
4 Stopeop Order

A stopgap order freezing wages
and prices was issued by the gov
eminent. Although unsatisfactory
as fac as the average consumer
was concerned, the measure at
least was a stab toward stopping
the wage-price spiral that had
swept across the nation in the last
few months.
The main effect Of the order was
that it brought to a standstill hun
dreds of notwithstanding ne
gotiations in industry Prices on a
number of goods and services were
frozen, but there were also num-
Der of exemptions, the most i'm
portant one being the price of food.
A C r n to administration
spokesman the price freeze would
be replaced as fast as possible by
specific ceiling prices, industry by
industry. Such a procedure could
60 on forever.
The wage freeze would be wiped
out as soon as flexible wage
policy could be compiled, it was
announced. The FLEXIBLE policy"
was considered necessary to per-
NIT tagging wages in some indus
tries to come up to certain stand
ard.
The price order was complex and
confusing, especially with respect
to farm products and food.
First OF all. there was no freeze
of any food prices at the farm
level.
But on the processing, whole
sale. and retail levels, food prices
we're frozen if the farm prices of
those foods were above parity. Thus,
beef. veal, pork and lamb prices
were frozen.
Parity is sliding scale designed
to keep farm prices fixed at a re-
lation to the farmers costs. The
law prohibits price ceilings below
parity)
Most farm products at the time
of the wage-price freeze we're be-
low parity. Poultry and eggs were
examples. If and when the farm
er's price went up on those things.
the wholesaler and retailer could
not raise prices to increase their
margins. The increase, however,
would be automatically passed
along all the way to the consumer
Other things exempt from price
controls included communication
and publication fields - like news
papers, books, magazines, radio,
television and theater admission

Tests Rock Las Vegas

While most of the world waited
with apprehension at the result and
announcements of the first atomic
explosion in this country in a num-
Der of years, residents of Las
Vegas, Nevada, 40 miles from the
atomic testing range, were irked
about the whole business.
The atomic energy commission
shrouded its experiments in silence
1t was known, however, that three
explosions took place. Las Vegas
witnesses reported tremendous
white flash in the sky, closely fol-
lowed by another flash, orange in
color and not as bright.
Las Vegas residents reported
windows shook, houses trembled
and burglar alarms in business es-
Establishments were set off.
The last explosion was felt and
seen in Boulder City. about IS miles
from the test range.

KOREA:
Mystery UnsoIved

The mystery of what happened
to the Chinese armies that pushed
United Nations forces south of the
38th parallel and seriously threat
ened to cut them off from Pusan
remained unsolved.
An unexpected lull swept over
the Korean battle front as Chinese
pressure ceased. Then probing at
tacks northward by U.N. forces
failed to make contact with the
main armies of the enemy.
Latest reports told of continued
movement of U.N troops northward
and only minor resistance.
The situation raised a number
of questions and possibilities. For
one thing, it raised the question Of
whether or not the Communist
armies had been hurt to the ex-
tent they were unable to continue
strong attack. The possibility
seemed unlikely in view of the
numbers of men available to the
Communists.
There were also rumors to the
effect the Communists had suffered
severely from cold and disease.
There were other reports that the
Chinese would not fight below the
18th parallel.
The mystery was still unsolved
after two weeks of minor fighting.
The battlefield lull also relieved
the tension on the political front.
The urgency of branding China the
aggressor in Korea was lessened.

POLITICS.:
Republican Policy

The drums of politics, which will
grow louder in the next few months,
were sounded by Sen. Robert Taft
of Ohio when he called on Republi-
cans to meet head on any Truman
trucking" to Communist sympath-
izers or any appeasement of Russia.
Taft made it plain that he thought
the Republicans could defeat the
Democrats in the next presidential
election on the issue Of foreign pol
icy. Whether or not the campaign
shapes up along these lines depends
greatly on events in the next few
months. On the surface it appears
that Senator Taft may face some
opposition along this line from with
in his own party.
Senator Taft's influence with Re-
publicans is tremendous, however.
He heads the senate COP. policy
committee and has been called the
leading Republican contender for
tn. 1852 presidential nomination.
In his own words, this seems to
be the core of Taft's policy: eve
must meet head on any trucking
to Communist sympathizers, any
appeasement of Russia which is
likely to lead to more aggression,
and any waste of our resources
with the idea that we can buy the
support of nations"
