WHAT ABOUT PRICES IN GENERAL!
Wholesale prices have been declining for some
time and consumer prices moving very
slightly lower The Labor Department living cost
index for September shaded off to 1908 per cent of
the 1858 average That against 1911 in
August The immediate prospect is for foods, rents,
utilities, and miscellaneous consumer goods and
services to show little further change. Apparel may
move down slightly. House furnishings will be un-
changed. All in all, little change in the consumer
prce-ndex is expected for the rest of the year. Food
prices, on the average appear to be declining bit.
The general uptrend in the cOst-of-lving seems to
have been broken. Any change between and
the end of the year probably will be too moderate
to be felt by the average family.
The above outlook is due to full employment in
all but a very few sections Contractors ARE again
seeking workers. the utilities are employing more
people; and most people willing to work can set a
job. Stenographers, typists and other Office and
store help are now in great demand. The situation
may be little less optimistic after Christmas with
a chance that there then may be greater-t usual
seasonal unemployment. The best way for manu-
facturers and merchants to help prevent this-and
thus save their own skins-s to spend more on
advertising and seng-but keep prices down.
HOW TO HOLD YOUR JOB
number of persons now employed will be let
go during the first few months of 1853 barring war
Defense work will slack Off but there usually
a general reaction after Christmas When reducing
employees, manufacturers and merchants too often
go on the principle of "ast employed should be the
first to be let go
The above means that readers should not now
change to some other job just to temporarily get
more money Stick where you are and do better work
than you have ever done. Remember that Christ
mas-like other good thiLgs-may have an un-
pleasant hangover Play safe and don't be blinded
by tinse and candles.

BABSON Discusses Christmas Buying

KANSAS CITY Mo. October 31-If Christmas
had come last spring summer when the steel strike
was starting, it would have been a poor Christmas
for manufacturers, merchants and the rest of us
Early in 1852 the public stopped buying. Television
sets, washing machines, and other appliances were
filling up storehouses; while the companies making
these were dischargng workers.
NOW MAY BE TIME TO BUY
A trip through our Great Central West makes
me believe the above situation is changing. Wise
buyers are making their Christmas purchases now,--
especially for the so-caed hard goods such as
washing machines, refrgerators and appliances.
Even automobiles appear to be selling we'll in most
sections. They are now being produced at an annual
rate of nearly 100000 because the industry is
catching up after the steel strike. However for the
same reason fu-year 1852 will not show such a

VOTE DON'T BE VOTED

To men everywhere, to women, the Obli-
cation of citizenship now presents itself.
TO youth in places of learning, or to youth
that is entered into slills and crafts that rib
and girder. this Nation, the time is come to
vote. Of the soldiers and marines in Korea,
and their comrades who link them with the
sea, history demands direction.
History now has caught up with this Ma
tion. Almost grudgingly, certainly against
the will and inclination of Americans reared
in the tradition of self-sufficiency, we are
thrust into position of world leadership.
The we-being, the financial welfare, the
security of millions of still-free peoples
throughout the world hinge upon the vote
that Americans will cast on November 4th.
At this time we have not, nor have we
had, a government leadership equal to the
tasks ahead. Leadership in a world rent be-
tween Communism and Repubhcanism is not
privilege. 1t is an obligation, most bur-
densOme obligation.
To understand this obligation is to under
stand a call that history again imposes: cam
l my brothers keeper?" We think, accord
ing to our heritage, that we are And we
think also that if we cannot keep our bro
ther, then we cannot long keep ourselves. So
thinking, we turn our thoughts to those who
suffer what men must under Communist evil.
The word is suffer But words mean
little. The voter cannot understand evil so
easily. To suffer is to know fear and pain and
perhaps DEATH 1t is a picture of free-bOTn
man in shackleS, surrounded by the evil
shapes of men, The evil shapes close in, hover
over the man that is shackled. There is
scream and then there is silence.
This is the obligation we face Upon this
obligation we must now vote.
Should we choose now the firm course.
the American course, that hitherto has pro-
tected and proSpered us, it may be that the
cup of war will pass away.
By accepting the leadership that evolves
upon us, and by proving worthy of the task,
it is not improbable that those desOate ma
tiOns now enslaved may again know freedom.
And by. confronting the challenge of Com
munism, we may deliver OurSelves-and the
wOrld-Of the spectre that today haunts all
men.
A vote then, is not for a man or party.
It is response to a challenge. 1t is the will
of man, of woman, of people to face
the demands of the hOurs-Or to turn away
from them, and therefore to sell away the
future for moments respite.
At this time, let it not be said that we
sold our birthright for a mess of pOttage.
Let us not buy prosperity with blood,
'cOntainment" with appeasement.
The time has come to vote. Let us not
be voted" But, let each man, and each
woman, according to his or her will, cast
ballot as though the hand that cast the ballot
were the hand of child-the hand of free
dom, the hand Of tomorrow.

THE WOUNDED BIRD" TRICK

Most of us have witnessed a mother bird
feigning injury, and pretending that she is
wounded, in order that attention may be
drawn from her young which she thinks to
be In danger. This is the wounded BIRD
trick played to perfection. During the present
campaign we are witnessing a revival of this
long used fake. This time the President of
the United States, Harry S. Truman, is prac-
ticing it in his whistle stop speeches
throughout the Nation.
Although Mr.. Truman, in many respects,
does not measure up to the great office of
President, he is unquestiOnably a master of
low politics. He is using the wounded bird"
trick for all that it is worth Working on
the assumption that all voters are a bunch
of dummies" he calls Eisenhower names and
makes fantastic and reckless charges against
man far above him in every way in order
to keep the public's mind off the Truman
mess" until after the election. Without re-
gard to the truth, and ignoring the fact that
not too long ago he was anxious to have
Eisenhower as the Democratic candidate for
President, he goes from town to town vilify-
ing and belittling a great and patriotic
Americana man who has given his whole
life to the service Of our great country.
In lesser manner the State democratic
candidates have followed the example of
Truman in his low tactics campaign. This
is especially true of the speeches of Bayard

Dear Friends:-
You know it's a woman's privil-
ege and 1 guess that's the way /
got away with rit. Friday, the gath,
Hayes was scheduled to fly home
to Milford for the weekend to see
his parents, fly back to Houston,
Texas, by Air Force plane and off
we would be to Sacramento. We
were going to have our first unhur-
ried trip from one base to the next.
Ever since March, 1851, when we
got called back into the service we
have rushed to every new assign
ment, but from Houston to Sacra-
mentO we were allotted 80 days to
get to Mather Air Force Base and
we were really planning navel
Gus trip.
Thursday afternoon 1t. and Mrs,
George Lake of Preston, Maryland,
now stationed in Houston, came to
see us and the more they talked
about the Eastern Shore the more
assured l was that that 30-day trip
west didn't interest me at all
After Marjorie and George left ]
quietly said, Il think I'll fly home,
too" Hayes just looked at me
l felt like hiding my head and
ducking for the roof was bound
to cave in, but as usual he was
good and just sat down and talked
it all over with me. Hayes had been
trying for months to get me to 60
home during our leave. It's not
that l had to be talked into COM
ing home, but to fly all the way
east and the ntravel all the way
west, 5000 miles, didn't seem prac-
tical to either of us, nor econOmf-
cal! But the closer our leave came
the more l thought that we could
always work to make the plane fare
home, but it wasn't always we
could go home with Uncle Sam as
our boss. Well, it was decided the
afternoon before our leave was to
commence that Lynne, Dawn and !
would fly home by Commercial Air
Lines and that Hayes would take
the plane the following day from
Ellington Air Force Base.
Maybe you can imagine the hub
bub that this change of plans made
We had to rearrange for dates OF
departure with the moving van, the
apartment owners, putting our
Dodge in storage, notifying the
gas people, lights, mail, paper, tel

do several odds and ends at the
base when he returned after his
weekend visit at home and now
they all had to be done Thursday

MR.. PRESIDENT

Harry S. Truman, this year, brought to
his whistle-stop tour all the Difference, the
deep logic, the profound wisdom of a hog
caught in gate
Like another Chesterfield, Mr. Truman
yelped: ITS just damn lie" in dismissing
Republican claims that the budget can be
cut with only nOn-defense slashes.
He did this in spite of the fact that
crOOkedness and favoritism let gangsters and
cheaters get away with over So billion in un-
paid taxes under Fair-Deal administration:
He claimed this in spite of the fact that
the bipartisan Hoover Commission on Gov
ernment reorganization reported that 81 out
of every $40 being spent by the present ad-
ministratiOn is waste
Remembering we'll the lessons of Old Joe
(whOm he likes so welD, Mr.. Truman is try
ing the BIG LIE technique on the American
people. This is a simple technique-just yell
as loud as you can and pray people will be-
lieve anything you say.
We're Americans, Mr. Truman, not Rus
slams.

great leaders of the Democratic
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. right into the
Generals recruiting tent.
COULD THEY BE RIGHT?
1t is pretty difficult to think of
anything more cynical or more de-
cadent than d national administra-
tiOn that seeks to perpetuate itself
in power by means of such slogans
as Don't Let Them Take It Away" ,"
and You Never Had 1t So Good"
What do Truman & Co. take us
for? Plainly, they take us for a
lot of self-centered, spoiled Sbrats.
The appeal is to me-and-mine, to
a childish determination to hang
onto our lolly-pop today-if it kills
us of collie tomorrow
There is no place under such SlO-
gans for a patriotic thought, a gen.
erous thought or an adult thought
They need only One'mOre-"G Gimme,

Ringing slogans? Sure, they
ring. But the Dealers have sub

NEED MORE TIME?

"The hour is growing late in the
autumn of our political decision, -
said Governor Stevenson at Cleve-
land the other day And with this
we are in profound agreement.
So late, in fact, is the hour, that
we are growing impatient for the
polls to open, to record our de-
cision. to put an end to amateur
and professional conjecture. and
most especially to write finiS to
what will probably be recorded as
the n2stiest political hassle of our
time.
So late is the hour. that it seems
hardly possible that any of us above
kindergarten age is not aware of
the issues, or has not decided which
candidate can best lead us in the

perilOus years ahead
So late is the hour, we think,
that most of us have had ample
time to decide we need a man of
real greatness proved in the
biggest job of leadership the world
has yet required a man of
such greatness that he remains
humble of such spirit that he
can answer vicious attack as en-
phatically and impersonally as a
mastiff shakes off feas and
whose understanding of his fellow
man is such that he can still smile,
not just with his face but from
the heart
We mean the man who made a
political slogan into a declaration
of faith: Il like Ike!"
