|IIIusfrious Pofentate

William p. Jacobs. jr., the new
IlluStrious Potentate Of Almas
Temple, was honored last night at
the organization's Potentate's
Party.
More than TOO Shriners and
their guests crowded the Hotel
Statler's Presidential ballroom
for an evening of entertainment
billed as the "Scare-M Harem."
The motif. naturally, was ORR
entail. ShrinerS all wore their
fezzes. and. for the guests. there
were cardboard copies Of the head
gear most in fashion in the Mystic
East.
The members of Leon Brusiloff's S
orchestra were garbed in robes and
|fezzes, and the professional enter
tainers were billed under Oriental
names.
Xylophonist Is Hit.
Thus, impreSsionist Johnny
Woods, the master of ceremonies.
was Osman Wood Aga. The hit OF
the evening, Xylophonist Pierce
Knox, became Yusuf. the beggar of
Kerbelah.
Mr.. Jacobs was borne into the
ballroom in an imitation stove. in
Ia bow to his position as public
relations director Of the Washing
ton Gas Light Co. The new Illus
trious Potentate took pains to point
out it was a gas stove, not an elec-
trio one.
The evening formally was
ushered in by the swirlings and
walls of several musettes played
by the Almas Temple Oriental
Band. The musette is a reed instru-
ment which sounds something like
a bagpipe, with overtones.
The Temples glee club. the
Chanters, also appeared on the
dinner hour program.
The elaborate after-dinner show
was composed of professional en-
tertainers. recruited by an enter
tainment committee headed by
Leon Chatelain.

be made. though the bulk Of the
reductions could be made by not

HOW BIG. HOW FAST?

Out Of the answer TO Russia's
intentions came the next ques-
tion: How big and how fast shall
we build our defense program?
Should we go ahead and mass
produce present type weapons.
or should we go slow and wait
until the newer type weapons
can be produced?
The diplomats dropped out of that
discussion, but the military stayed
in and was joined by the defense pro
duction chiefs. It was pointed out
that many Of the weapons now in
production are obsolete, or will be in
a year or two.
Atomic artillery shells, guided mis-
siles, super-jet planes and other more
deadly weapons of war have passed
their initial tests and are about ready

Keeping in Touch With Washington
Russia Now Knows
: We Aren't Bluffing

for large-scale production. Should
we wait for them?
The final answer must be the right
answer. If we decide to wait and
Russia does strike before the new
weapons are ready it could be fatal
blunder. If we 60 ahead with big
production of present weapons and
don't have the new weapons ready
in 1854, Russia again would have the
advantage.
Those few men had to guess what
Russia's intentions are. They couldn't
afford to guess wrong, yet it had to
be admitted that they were only
guessing.
Their answer was this: We will
cut plans for defense weapons in the
fiscal year July l, 1952-June 80, 1858,
by 40 percent. The reduction was
from $S5, OOO,O 100000 to $51,OOO,OOO,-
900. We didn't put all Of our eggs in
one basket, but we gave odds that
Russia will not strike in the next IS
months.

There's no doubt about it, farm machin-
cry and machine parts are going to be
harder and harder to get. Because Of
material shortages especially steel
there will be 5000, 000, 900 less in farm
machinery and parts produced in 1862
than were made in 1851. In spite Of this
shortage, farmers are expected to har-
vest bigger crops with fewer hands.

your machinery, avoid buying parts as

course, can't talk, nor do walls have
ears, but if either were true the room
you probably would most like to
visit in Washington is what is known
as the Cabinet room, in the west
wing Of the White House. There the
presidents offices are located.
The Cabinet room adjoins the
Oval room. where the president
has his private office. 1t is about
IA by 80 feet long. with a long
mahogany table down the center.
The table is thanked by large
leather upholstered chairs.
Across that table the secrets of
the nation and of much of the
world. are told from day TO day.
That room is, in the fullest sense
of the word, the inner sanctum of
government Only on rare occasions
are the words uttered there ever re-
peated outside. But recently the
walls had ears and the table talked,
figuratively speaking.

EFFEcT on EcoNoMY2

The next question: What will
be the effect of the decision to
hold down defense expenditures
on our domestic economy? Does
If diminish the danger of infla-
ton?
On this question the military
spokesman dropped out of the con-
versation. The mobilization heads
stayed and were joined by the stabil-
ization officials. Mr.. Truman took a
more active part in the conversation,
too. Keyserling, chairman of the.
council of economic advisers, became
the central figure in the talk.
Fewer civilian plants are to be
converted to military production.
There will be more time to build new
plants to manufacture the new
weapons. There will be less of an
economic Jolt as workers shift
gradually from civilian jobs to jobs
in war plants.
It was agreed that the military
could begin to release more of the
critical metals for civilian goods,
starting about the middle of this
year. Weapons production would
reach a peak about the first of 1858,
then begin to level off. High u. S.
production capacity would be able to
supply essential civilian needs, the
weapons needed and still help Eu-
rope re-arm.

HOW ABOUT INITIATION?
But how about initiation? The
consensus was that inflationarY
pressures will continue strong
for another TOUR months. and
then begin TO ease. A certain
amount Of danger. however. will
remain after that.
The president asked for unanimous
support for stronger control powers
and a 2-year extension of the defense
production act. Keyserling was re-
luctant, but the president insisted.
And, as usual, he had his way.
Mr.. Truman, however, holds no
such powers of persuasion over con-
gress. It soon became evident that,
while congress hasn't yet made up
its mind to kill price controls, it has
no desire to give the president any
such broad extension of power. Be
sides, some of them reasoned, Mr..
Truman may not have the same job
he has now after next January.
The conclusion reached was: In
flationary dangers will subside in
the last half of this year. Decontrol
in 1853 may be possible. So, congress
probably will write provision in the
law for gradual decontrol, and ex-
tend the act for only one year.

best ways to do this is to use lubricants
