Time. Now we are two hours diff
ferent from the time at home; an
hour for Standard Time and one
for Central.
Sunday, the 18th, around $3.50 p.
m, we arrived in New Orleans, Lou
isiana. All the motels were on the
outskirts Of the city and we decided
to go whole hog" and stay in a
hotel. Mother and dad had been in
New Orleans years ago, but /
couldn't recall where they had stay
ed. We stayed in the Hotel New Or
leans and decided with that name
We couldn't go far wrong. Some
of the leading hotels in New Or
leans are the Jung, the Monteleone,
! the Roosevelt (where mother and
dad did stays) etc. Our hotel was
on the famous Canal street.
Before / forget, several miles
outside Of New Orleans we drove
through Louisiana's Bowers Beach
and Mispillion Lighthouse. There
were fishermen every place, all
ages, in all walks of life, some in
Tin Lizzies and others in Cadillaes.
1t was here that we drove across
Lake Pontchartrain, which has a
concrete bridge that is five miles
long. louisiana says it is the long
est bridge in the world, which ev-
cry state seems to claim about its
own bridges, but it the longest
bridge I have ever been on. I
thought we would NEVER see land
again. Our surprise in New Or
leans and what we saw and did
there will be next weeks story.
Outside of Baton Rouge, Louisi-
ana, I was shocked to see the high
way lined with budding magnolia
trees. We prize all that we have in
Milford, and here they were by the
dozens along the highway We left
. Louisiana the morning of the 18th
in a terrible rain and we were half
= over the Mississippi River Bridge
before I knew it.
We entered Texas at Orange and
|. at the border there was a uniform
I ed Texan who offered us cold
! drinking water from a we'll, and
maps and pamphlets full of infor-
q nation about his state supreme. I
q knew Texas would be out to well
q come visitors the minute they step
I ped over the border. Texas motto
o is Friendship" and every Texan
I've met certainly fulfills his states
l slogan.
:, Outside of Houston, Lynne was
g delighted to see REAL cowboys on
s horses rounding. up cattle, with
:, brands on their hides and all. The
l cowboys all wore cowboy hats,
= boots and chaps and / was so
t, pleased that Lynne wouldn't be dis
/, appointed in their attire After we
u had passed these cowboys Lynne
wanted to know if these were the
n kind that killed people, and where
1 were the Indians? Those cowboys
l. certainly demanded a lot of expla.

is now asked to support the newly
created Small Defense Plants Ad-
ministratiOn which would have a
payroll of some 500 employees next
year.
Still others are similarly employ
ed in connection with the Federal
Governments foreign economic aid
programs. The activities of the
Senate and House Committees on
Small Business. cost more than
$150,00O year.
The Chamber said Congressional
committee hearings and reports
show mounting evidence of dupli-
cation, competition and conflict
among these small business agen-
eies of the Government.
The Chamber charged that the
Federal Governments apparent
concern for small companies is Of
ten "debauehed by the demago-
query OF politicians who crate
loudly in behalf of the small busi-
ness man; and at the same tine
vote for oppressive legislation
which regulates him and restricts
him, taxes away his earnings and
even puts the Government into
, business which completes unfairly
with him"

THE DIFFERENCEI

Wilfred May, executive editor of the Com
mercial and Financial Chronicle of New York,
recently went to Russia to report on the
Moscow Economic Conference. He is one of
the few Americans who have had the chance
to see what life is now like in the communist
capital On his return, Mr.. May was inter-
viewed at length by the editors of u. S. News
and World Report. One part of the interview
dealt with the living standards of the masses
of the Russian peOple-as distinct from the
ruling class, which enjoys great luxury. A
question was, rs there much stuff on. the
shelves in the stOres?" Mr.. May answered,
There is nothing but queuing up at the
stores all day long. They are all government
stores and they cut off and on the tap Of
consumer goods. So people are queulng up
for everything from theater tickets to bot
tie of milk. There is queuing to the nth de-
gree from in the morning to at night"
The kind of supplies and services a people
can buy at the retail level provides a pretty
accurate measure of a nations life. In free
enterprise economy, such as ours, consumer
demands and likes and dislikes determine
what the factories make and the stores stock
Except in time of war or some other very
grave emergency, everything is offered in
abundance, and the most finicky shopper can
find what lie wants. The price is held by
competition to the lowest figure consistent
with the economic conditions of the day. In
a sOcialized or governmental controlled econO-
my, on the other hand, officials of the state
decide what goods the people shall have, in
what quantity they shall have them and
what price they shall pay. The inevitable re-
suit is poor goods, excessively-expensive goods
and standing for hours in queues in al
effort to buy the necessities of life no les;
than a modest luxury or two.

Federal Reserve Bank Reports
On Department Store Sales

In April, department store sales
in the Third Federal Reserve Dis
trict showed an increase over the
corresponding month of 1851 for
the first time this year. A special
adjustment for the later Easter,
however, results in a decline of 8
per cent. For the year to date, the
decrease in sales narrowed from 10
per, cent for the first three months
to 5 per cent for the first four
months. All of the six cities for
which data are available shared in
the Districts improvement for the
year to date.
AS expected, preliminary depart
mental sales indicate that apparel
departments enjoyed the greatest
increases over last year. Particu-
larly sizeable advances were evil
denced by the women's and miss

Dear Friends:
Many of you already know that
the Hayes DickersOns are no long

are now transplanted in Texas.
From now on our address will be
1899 Patricia Lane, Houston 12,
Texas. Before I explain why we're
here, how long Wen be here, ETC.,
! want to tell you about our 4-day
journey to. the Lone Star State.
We were able to "snitch" days
at home and then on May 10Th we
said goodbye again and started
south, southwest this time. We
stopped in Salisbury, Maryland,
first to say goodbye to Mrs. James
o. DickersOn, Hayes sisteT-in-law.
Had a nice visit with Gladys and
as we left were afraid our visit had
been a little too long and we would
miss our scheduled ferry at Kipto-
peke Fortunately, we drove right
on the $3.50 a. m. ferry. Every con-
nection counts when you're travel
ing 1900 miles. That new dual
| highway downstate is so wonder
! full. / bet many of you don't know
the speed those highway workers
are capable of doing on this dual
highway i'm MARYLAND and Della

ing % Miles an Hour" Pretty mir
aculous, isn't it? Even Texans
couldn't surpass this.
Our AAA mapped route took MS
through Suffolk. Virginia, and We
stopped there at noon and called
Mrs. George V. Beamon, nee Mar,
garet Holzmneller. but apparently
she was "gaddin' because no ONT
answered our call.

basement. The traditional Easter
candy season boosted the candy de-
partment's sales to their most fac
Vorable results this year. The dur
able goods departments did not
share in the Easter buying, how
ever, and continued their large de-
clines.
Although epartm ent store
stocks increased 2 per cent over
March, they showed a healthy 16
per cent decline from last April's
peak accumulatiOns. The increase
from March levels was customary
for this period of the year. Every
major department, with the excep-
tion of basement homefurnishings,
enjoyed lower sales-to-stOcks ra-
tios than last year.

LET us REMEMBER!

The heroes who died to free America and
keep her free live on in our memory and
our hearts.
Visualizing the embattled farmers who
faced the enemy ct Lexington in ITS, we
feel their tension as the first shots rang out
on the village green, and share their aveng-
ing anger as they chased the redcOats back
toward Boston.
The bitterness of Bull Run, Chancellors-
vile, Gettysburg and Atlanta, fades into the
past as the great grandchildren of those
heroes play "war" in the blue and gray forage
caps they buy in the corner store. The "BOys
Of 'S8"-tropical khaki and broadbrimmed
hats-the survivors are aging, but the boys
of World Wars and II are almost as vivid
in our memories as the veterans who have
survived Korea.
Americas crises have always found men
ready to give their lives for freedom. Re-
membering their sacrifice, let US dedicate our
selves to safeguarding the freedom they
saved.

1.-THE PUBLIC BE DAMNED"

Compulsory arbitration of labor disputes
in this country is coming as surely as night
follows day if the present trend continues"
wrote Marquis Childs in one Of his late col
umns. ut will not come because any group
or Individual wants it. But the plain fact is
that nationwide strikes in vital industries
can no longer be tolerated. In steel, oil, the
railways, or the utilities a strike across the
board can shut down the ecOnOmy-and in
a relatively short time ..
add to this the precariOus balance be-
tween what is left of the free world and
the Communist threat of total aggression
and the situation becomes not just intOlerable.
It begins to look like lf-destruction ="
Mr.. Childs then suggested that cOmpul-
sorry arbitration might be exercised by labor
courts with judges appointed for life and
. subject to confirmation by the Senate
Recent labor exceSSes have demonstrated
that the system of voluntary arbitration of
disputes has broken dOWn-labOr, backed by
the Administration, is out for the whole hog.
The pendulum has swung to the opposite eX-
trenne since certain businesses worked on the
public be damned" idea Now certain big
labor groups are working on that Outlawed
principle.
AS Mr.. Childs said, no one really wants
compulsory arbitratiOn-it goes against the
AMERICAN gram. II II QO6S come, IL VIII Ue
because labor leaders have shown an incredi-
BILE arrogance of mind and spirit-and con-
temptuOus disregard of the national welfare
and our very security as free nation. Labor
monopOlies must be brOken-just as business
mOnOpOlies have been broken.

REIN ON BIG GOVERNMENT
Confident that it can meet no effective
opposition, Big Government invariably grows
reckless.
The steel crisis furnishes good example
First the steel industry's executives were de
nOunced Then they were informed that the
government would raise the steelwOrkers
wages unless the industry settled the dispute
promptly-and obviously, on the unions
terms. Only the timely intervention of the
Supreme Court prevented this arbitrary ac
tion.
Whatever the courts final decision, th'
Supreme Courts injunction proved that VIZ
still have a government of laws-not a die
-tatership Let's keep it that way!

MEMORIAL DAY. 1952

A million Americans have died in battle
to establish and preserve these United States.
More than $50 million Americans this
week pay honor to those dead
Memorial Day is a day of honor. 1t is
more than an awareness of flags, mumbled
prayer, a feeting memory of some acqualn-
tance killed in action.
Memorial Day is a day of remembrance,
a day to remember that men have died and
men are dying at this moment. A tank serg-
cant writes from Korea: 'The Chinks got
through the lines, killed a guard then pro-
ceeded to bunker where they shot 10 men
in their sleeping bags d. when the papers
say that there was only light action on the
front-remember this story"
Memorial Day is a day Of accounting.
Someone is respOnsible-say for the death OF
these 10 men. 1t is not as though 10 units
were stricken from list. Each shot that was
fired sheared it's way through flesh and bone
Here are 10 men who will not again walk on
old, remembered streets Who among us
is not in some way responsible?
Memorial Day is a day Of reckoning. We
see young men making sacrifices in lives
while the Nation for the first time in history
makes no comparable sacrifice on the home
front. We see that young men are dying in
a foreign war that has no prospect of vic
i, tory, little prospect of peace. When we look
to the causes for this terrible thing, we must
inevitably find our national leadership re-
sponsible for incredible bunders in the con-
flict with world Communism.
Memorial Day is day, finally, of resolve.
We must resolve to so marshall our national
strength that never again shall we break
faith with our own flesh and blood.
