Washington Letter --- ByLE Jones

the Constitution which says in Ar
ticle / mo ex post facto law shall
be passed" The dictionary defines
Eek post factO" as something that
is done afterwards" as, for in
stance, any law enacted with a
retrospective effect" AS a matter
of fact there is no machinery to
handle the rollback of prices or
wages.
David Lawrence says: THE
heavy hand of the Government has
been imposed on the automotive
industry mostly for psychological
effeCt-the industry has been used
as the whipping boy to warn other
industries that they must hold
prices"
The word has gone out that there
must be voluntary restraint until
such time as official orders i'm other
lines can be issued. The Govern
ment has called for data from diff
eTent quarters to show what has
happened to prices.
There is much speculation in
Washington as to whether the Ad-
miniStrati0n will have the nerve
to rOllbacK any of the recent wage
/ increases obtained by National uu-
ions. AS usual, political pressure
has its effect in Washington and
that's one reason pointed out by
Lawrence why the morale Of the
country isn't lifted to the pitch of
wholcheartcd cooperation that it
should be nowadays Anything that
/ smacks of discrimination leaves a
bad taste.

THOSE TRANSPORTATION SUBSIDIES
The Federal government spends about
$l,5OO,OOO,OOO a year on transportation
roads, airpOrtS, rivers, harbOrs and naviga-
ton aids. State and local governments spend
$4,000 100000, perhaps 5000, 100000 more.
But no government agency in America spends
penny or the railroads, except the cost of
regulating them - regulation which raises
their operating costs and curbS their initia-
tive. What we are doing is to subsidize more
and more heavily all the competing forms of
transport, and thereby weakening the posi-
ton OF the rail system which remains the
true arterlal transport system of the national
ecOnOmy-and the nations war economy.
This is good time to reconsider the short
sighted and punitive policy which we have
pursued IN respect to rail transport geneI&
ally. 1t is not primarily a matter of Justice
to those who have $23 900, 100000 invested
IN the railroads. 1t is above all a matter of
conserving and strengthening one of the
most fundamental of our military as we'll as
peacetlme assets. Valuable in limited fields
as other forms of transportation are the
railroads are the one form which is absO-
lutely vital. The railroads do not wish to
De subsidized but they do ask, and rightly.
that they not be penalized in competing with
subsidized carriers.

Several weeks ago the Calvary
Methodist Choir sponsored an eve
ming of music. The purpose of this
was to replace equipment and mu-
sic destroyed when the Calvary
Church was burned.
The program featured solos,
duets, and sacred selections rend-
cred by four chOirs. 1t was a most
enjoyable evening. Many people
have commented about the high
quality of music to be heard in this
vicinity
A final check-up of ticket sales
reveals that the choir made over
two hundred dollars. This will be
a very great help to those who are
trying to put the choir on firm
footing once more.
The many compliments and COM
ments about the program give pro-
mise of future efforts. 1t is entire
ly possible to have a yearly per-
fOrmance of local music and musi-
clans.
