A Yale researcher on alcoholism
has estimated, DR.. Masters added,
that in a given year excessive
drinking caused the loss Of ap-

in that year was $432 million"
"This does not include pro-

Three-AIarm Blaze
Damages New Store
Al 18Th and F Streets

A three-alarm, fire of undeter-
mined origin damaged a building
at 1901 F street NV. shortly
after 8 o'clock last night. Fire
officials said the damage might
reach $4,000.
The ground floor Of the brick
structure, Of three stories and an
attic, is used by the recently
opened Holiday Shoe Store. The
second and third floors were for
storage of shoes, f1remen said. Sew
eral hundred pair of shoes Suf-
fered from the water.
A billow of smoke attracted
more than 1000 persons to the
busy downtown scene, requiring
the summoning of all police re-
serves in the area. It was neces-
sary to block off the street for a
short time.
The blaze. according to firemen,
apparently started on either the
second or third floor. The fire
marshal's Office said a newly in
stalled gas heater may have
ignited the building.
The fire was quickly brought un-
der control. The first alarm was
sounded at 9:08 pm, the second
at 9:10 and the third a minute
later. Third-alarm companies left
the scene at 9:33 pm, Equipment
responding included II engines,
four trucks and a rescue squad,

Washington Letter By Robert Nelson Taylo
In Good Shane

To paraphrase that hit song from Oklahoma"
"Everything's Up to Date in RocqueneOurt" =. if
you go along with the first Eisenhower teevisiOn
production, made in the conference room at SHAPE.
There can be little question that General Eisen-
hover has done masterful job in his tremendous
frst-year responsibility for welding together the
defense of the NATO nations. His. 0000 word first
annual report is certain to be historical dOcu-
ment, whatever the future holds But there is some
thing incompatible with the Eisenhower stature we
have come to revere if partisan political consider
aOns have entered into this movie presentation of
the report.
President Truman has lately resolved a major
political question That probably leaves the Eisen-
hover decision in the number spot There is
much to suggest that the problems of SHAPE are as
critical at this moment they have ever been and
that any replacement presently in sight for General
Eisenhower, would be at best a substitute And even
though his resignation may be in by the time you
read this, Ike has not, write, crossed this
treacherOus personal RubcOn
To settle the question by saying no man is inds
pensable4 is to suggest at least that man need
consider what he do best, where his duty
lies. We confident that it is this question of duty
which has been the most compelling force in the
Generals life, that has thus far delayed the rrevO-
cable decision he soon must make
For Ike, it is simple matter of tossing hat
in the ring. He must first throw his army cap in the
ocean that still separates America and Europe. And
woe to those who leading him if they fail
to make good.

ARE YOU BREAKFAST EATER?

Four studies to determine what break
fast means to us have been conducted at State
University Of Iowa, Iowa City. 1t turned
out that when young college men and women
skipped breakfast, their work output de-
creased, their reaction times were retarded
and their muscular steadiness suffered.
When good breakfasts were eaten, work out
put increased, reaction times were faster
and there was less fatigue. There was nei-
ther a gain nor loss of weight though no
breakfast was served in one part of the study
and as many as 1000 calOries in another,
Skipping breakfast is not good way of re-
ducing. Basic or medium cereal breakfast
of fruit, cereal, milk, bread and butter was
found to be just as good as medium bacon7
and-egg breakfast. II
These studies would seem to indicate that
the Individual who provides the fuel on
which the human body operates is better
fitted to do his daily work. An engine must
have fuel to properly function. Why
shouldn't our body require energy gener-
ating feeding just as much as should an
engine or motor? Our observations of men
at their work lead us to the conclusion that
the man who eats regularly and well tires
less easily and stays on the job longer. A
good breakfast, it seems to us, is a prime
necessity for any individual.

WHAT HAS BECOME OF THE
CORRUPTION ISSUE? va

A good many people must be wondering
what has happened to the campaign to thor
Oughly unearth, publiciZe, and punish cOrrup-
tiOn within the government. The corruption
issue dominated the headlines not long ago,
and Congressional and Administration
spOkesmen were UnequivOcal in saying that
the sterneSt kind of corrective measures
would be taken, and that no malefactor would
be big enough or well-cOnnected enough to
avoid the consequences.
Now, for the most part, the corruption
story has moved to the back pages, and it's
clear that very little is being done. The in
teresting case of NewbOld Morris helps to
explain why.
Mr. Morris, a successful New York law
yer who described himself as a Lincoln Re-
publican, was appointed by President Tru-
man to search out corruption and cOrrup-
tiOnists on a let-the-chips-fall-w
may basis. The President asked the Senate
to give Mr.. Morris the power to subpoena
witnesses ard the discretion to grant i'm
munity to people who helped him in his in
vestigatiOns. But good many senators, in
Guiding members of the senate investigating
committee, are far from satisfied with Mr..
Morris in the role of cleanup man. Some
said that he had been associated with organ
izatiOns with red tinge-which Mr.. Morris
vigorously denied. Then it was disclosed that
his law firm was involved in the famous oil
tanker deal, in which group of well-known
men ran a small investment into a consider
able fortune in very brief period of time
Mr.. Morris got himself into all kinds of hot
water with the committee when he charged
that he was being Smeared and unfairly
treated. Very warm words passed back and
forth.
In any event, the committee refused TO
give Mr.. Morris subpoena powers. The COM
mittee then voted to authorize the President
to appoint an investigator who would be
subject to senate approval, and said that
such a man would be granted the desired
powers. This certainly inferred that Mr.
Morris was not wanted
In many circles it is believed that the
Senate itself will have to do most of the in
vestigating if real results are to be obtained.
The revelations the country has had so far
have largely come from senate inquiries,
such as that headed by Mr.. Kefauver. In all
the great scandal-reVelatiOnS of the past, the
Senate has been the dominant factor Some
of the most ruthessy efficient Investigators
who ever lived were senators, such as the
late Thomas Walsh.
It doesn't seem possible that the current
issue will be allowed to sink into lethargy.
Too much has been exposed, and too much
more has been rumored or revealed in some
part. It's an extremely ticklish subject, par
ticusarly in an election year, but every re-
porter finds that the American people are
shocked and angry, want a real government
house cleaning, and mean to have it. There
seems little question that there is a national
revulsion not only against outright graft and
dishonesty, but against infiuence-pedding
dealings which are just within the shadOwy

BABSON Shows How To Reduce Taxes

of employees from $4,000 to almost 2,5OO,OOO The
total national budget has increased from less than
81 billion in 1928 to approximately $40 billion From
another view the Federal Budget expense has gone
up from $24O per average family, per year in 1928
to $1400 today. Here is a sample OF where the
money goes:-29 different agencies make loans;
% handle welfare projects; Is are engaged in wild
tics, which often disagree with each Other The
Veterans Administration takes five times as long
to pay death claim, and uses four times as much
manpOWer to do the job do private companies.
These but a few samples of what has been
going on to cause the demand for more and more
dollars in taxes from you and me. The Hoover
Commission impartial, nOn-partsan committee
appointed by President Truman, made over three
hundred recommendations to bring about a more
efficient Government Hard-hitting, interested cit-
zens who have made their wishes known to their

recommendations.

BABSON PARK, Mass, April 4-March Is has
come and gone. Gone, too. are the hopes of many
for that new or summer vacation, the re-decO-
ration of few rooms, or a spring outfit. While
you still smarting perhaps it is good time to
ask, "Why do we let our Government take much
of our money to spend so recklessly?
IS THE U. S. REALLY POORER TODAY
THAN IN 1922
] am inclined to believe most of us do not real
ze the economic facts of life; for if did, feel
pretty certain that more people would get out to
vOte;-in the primaries, as we'll as in local and
national elections.
How rich is this country when compared with
1929? The National Bureau OF Economic Research
wealth has increased only 1870 from 1928 TO l94S.
Yet in this same period population has increased
$3.50! This bOls down to the fact that in 1851, a
year in which all kinds of economic records were
set, the per capita wealth actually so below
that of 1928!
GOVERNMENT OPIATES
The policy of our own Federal Government has
been to keep in the dark such facts. The size
and power Of our governmental machine, our for
midable commitments both at home and abroad, full
employment and standard-Of-living prOpaganda-al
have dulled senses to what has really been going
on. Many people even now subscribe to the idea
that high taxes are good for the country whole!
Who gets most of the tax money? Uncle Sam
takes $40 of all taxes collected in this cOun-
try. This leaves only 1870 of the tax money for
state and local governments, which is less than
One-third of the percentage these organizations had
at their disposal in 1929
What does Uncle Sam do with all of this
money? Get digest of the Hoover Report and find
out if you don't know. Here are a few facts:-In
