It describes Shaw in his last
years as impatient with the in
firmities closing in on him. bored
with us ALL" but still fitting val
iantly with his pen in a hurry to
say all he had to say before the
end came.
Shaw, who died November at
his Ayot st. Lawrence home in
Hertfordshire, was obsesSed by
the idea he was not only living
beyond his means but on the verge
of bankruptcy" according to Miss

Federal pay increase to meet the
rise in the cost of living and to
retain competent Government per-

program, and time-and- d-one-half

In addition, the council placed

Before leaving London for Lis

will confer with Prime Minister
Attlee and Foreign Secretary
Bevin and will attend g meeting
of the Atlantic pact's Council OF
Deputies.
He is expected to cal the dep
uties' attention to the apathy to-
ward defense he encountered In
his brief European tour preceding
his arrival here. Possibly he will
suggest psychological campaign
to combat Europe's diffidence in
the face of danger.
Western Europe has made no
secret of the fact that it looks
without any great enthusiasm on
the prospect of gearing !. to de-
fense economies already severely
strained by World War II.
Most of West Europe's people
are frightened by the twin specters
of possible quick defeat at Rus
sian hands and wholesale destruc-
ton on a scale dwarf1ng that of
the last conflict.
Reds Make Capital.
The Communists, especially in
France and Italy, are playing
heavily on this gun-shy attitude.

s. Billion Increase
I'm Defense Costs Laid
To Soaring Prices

Inc senate Sudu BUSINESS
Committee declared today that
soaring prices alone" have boost
ed defense costs SO billion since
last June, and added that the alb
sence of imitation curbs is periling
the little concerns.
In its first annual report the
committee, headed by Senator
Sparkman, Democrat, Alabama,
asserted that small business out
fits generally are beset by inf1a-
ton, and argued that the Govern
ment. as huge buyer, should be
aware of the necessity of applying
controls.
Little business wants these
checks, the committee said, ex-
planning that in the dog-eat-dog
scramble for materials" some
actually are losing money on de-
fense contracts and other are hav-
ing to pay ''profit-cancelling
prices" to gray market operators.
SOCidilSt TIdHS SIdTScu.
Meantime House Republican
Leader Martin accused President
Truman's economic advisers of
planning a completely Socialist"
America. The Massachusetts, law
maker tied that in with a state
ment that the people face the
prospect of paying up to so per
cent of their earnings in taxes.
The Small Business Committee
reported on surveys, hearings and
small business clinics conducted
since the group was organized last
June.
ITO many small manufacturer
caught between the soaring costs
of doing business on the one hand
and the acute scarcity of eSsen-
tial production materials on the
other, it seems as though the les
sons learned during the early
phases of World War II have been
forgotten" the committee said.
Hit by Material Scarcities.
"Nor are these small producers
reassured when they see military
procurement officers, in their un-
derstandable haste to award de-
fense contracts, take some of the
short cuts which were partly
responsible for the exclusion of
small bidders in the early days
of the last war"
Perhaps. nowhere is the vul-
nerability of small companies
more glaringly revealed than in
the current dog -eat-dog scramble
for many essential materials of
production it continued.
The report cited price increases
since the start of the Korean war
of 1873 per cent for natural rubber,
SO per cent for tin, 81 per. cent
for wool tops. 48 per cent for lead,
16 per cent for zinc and IL per
cent for steel.
Representative Martins attack
was on the annual report of the
Presidents Council of Economic
Advisers, which he said is a blue
print from socialism" worked out
Gin the name of the national
crisis"
The "touchstone" of the blue
print is increased taxation, Mr..
Martin said, adding:
Already the average American
is paying more than 25 per cent
of his income to Federal, State
and local governments in the form
of taxation.
The economic council is headed
by Leon Keyserling. The other
members are John D. Clark and
