WHICH WILL 1T BE? .

In a recent speech, Senator Hugh But
Ter Of Nebraska dealt fOrthnghtly with the
price control controversy. He said, Il Sug-
gest that it is time our nation face boldly
up to the issue of price controls and decide
whether we intend to have a free economic
system or a controlled economic system from
now on ..
''These controls are supposed to be tenn
pOrary, yet we know from experience that
supposedly temporary legislation very fire.
quently is allowed to become permanent.
National emergencies seem to have become
the normal thing in Washington.
''The excuse usually given for these con-
trOls is that they are necessary to counter
act infiatiOnary preSsures. Actually, these
SO-called in1atiOnary preSsures are caused
by the gigantic increase in government
spending"
Controls are a form of political buck-pass-
ing. In effect, they say that retailing, manu-
featuring, agriculture, labor and other groups
are responsible for initiation, and so they
must be controlled by fiat What they never
say is that these and other groups are the
victims of imitation, rather than it's creators.
The whole inflatiOnary spiral was caused by
the insane spending of the government. The
whole infatiOnary situation is maintained
and fattened by the insane spending of the
government.
Senator Butler is right We must choose
between a free ecOnOmy-Or an economy in
a political straitjacket which will ultimately
undermine representative government. And
we must make that choice soon.

Polio Can Spread
Through A Family

the Adams and Bailey families
also were i'll with the disease when
DTs. Brown and Ainslie asked if
the families would cooperate in an
experiment. With the families con-
sent. the scientists went ahead with
painstaking tests of feces and
blood
Polio virus was recovered from
the feces of not only the five sick
children who had clear symptoms
Of polio but also from thirteen
other family members with no
signs of polio. Twelve of these in
dividuals carrying virus in their
digestive tracts but with no syInp-
toms of polio were children under
eleven years of age.
Each of the % persons from the
three families donated two blood
samples to the experiment. The
first blood samples were taken soon
after the polio cases were dag
nosed. The second samples were
obtained three weeks later.
The initial blood test showed
that all members of the families
older than eleven years of age had
antibodies to one type of polio
virus. Antibodies are disease-fight-
ing substances manufactured by the
body when infected by a disease
organism. All but five in the fam
lilies had antibodies to the specific
polio virus type causing polio in
each family. The second blood test
revealed an increase in the number
of antibOdies to the specific polio
virus, an indication that the in
lection was recent and that the in
dividuals in each family were in
creasing their resistance to polio.
The tests indicated that the fam
/ ily members were reacting to ST.
multaneOus exposure to polio virus.
/ Older members of the families had
/ sufficient antibodies to resist the
infection; children under eleven
without antibOdy protection be-
came carriers without symptoms
and five children became definite
polio cases.

"SAVE ME FROM THE
CANDID FRIEND"

Senator Robert A Taft has made
it a little difficult for his fellow
aspirants to the Republican nomi-
nation. In Beloit. Wis, on Monday,
he denounced the me too" ap-
prOach and stated that the party
could not win simply by mOdifica-
ton of Administration principles.
I'VE are most likely" Taft said,
"tO acquire the votes of independ-
ent voters and millions of Demo-
Gratis if we present the issues di-
rectly and fOrcibly against the Tru-
man philosophy"
Meanwhile Senator Henry Cabot
Lodge, in what seems a frantic ef-
fort to generate headlines for the
Sphinx of Paris, says Ike could save
five billions in military expendi-
lures. Among the reasons given
was that "he knows where the dead
dogs are in the PentagOn."
Thus, unless we hear shortly
that General Eisenhower has a new
manager. it should be safe to as
sumo that he really doesn't want
to be president after all.
Senator Estes Danl BOOne) Ke-
fauver says he will announce his
intentions about February l, but
Mrs. Kefauver. in a Sunday radio
interview said he would campaign
in his cOOnskin cap. and that the
children were concerned about
moving to the White House.

MORE TAXES OR LESS
BUREAUCRACY

No surprises have been reported
thus far in the five pound, two
ounce Truman Budget for fiscal
1858, or in the $4,000 words of
sales talk accompanying it, and
which were duly transported to the
Congress as expected on Monday
afternoon.
The new budget calls for $780,
100000. and the message asks for
some billion dollars in new tax
revenues. Congressional leaders in
both parties are plainly allergic to
the tax increase idea. as the Pres
ident's message indicates they are
expected to be.

Happenings In State

NATIONAL GUARD - The 1852
summer encampment for the Del
aware National Guard has been
moved ahead one week.
The twO-week training period at
Bethany Beach will start July 20
and run through August 8, instead
OF the originally scheduled July 27-
August 10.
The change was made, according
to Brigadier General Joseph ].
Scannell, adjutant general. at the
request of Second Army headquar-
ters because of difficulties in sched-
ules for the Pennsylvania National
Guard, some units of which also
train at Bethany Beach.
The Second Army some time ago

a shift in training dates to the last
two weeks in June.
DEER - Visitors at Big Stone
Beach last Sunday were given a
rare treat for persons in this sec
tion. as they found herd Of deer
playing along the shore line.
There were nine deer, two large
bucks and seven does, one very
young and several feeding on the
marsh grass and cavorting along
the sandy shore.
They seemed quite Indifferent tC
the persons who approached quite
close to the animals. Finally they
sauntered in the direction of Conch
Bar across the marshlands.
Several deer have been observed
in these parts from time to time
but this is the first herd of tha
size that has been noticed.
Some say the deer went to tn,
shore to lick salt from the gras,
along the water.

BABSON Discusses MARRIAGES

WASHINGTON, ID. c.. January 25-EaCh gen.
eration in countless ways helps determine the for
tune of the generation which follows it. Thus the
economic course of the fties largely charted in
the thirtes; what we do today will be felt
strongly in the seventies. In view this fact let
us pick out one of the most significant events Of
twenty years ago and anayze its probable effect
during the next few years
Low BIRTH RATE OF THE THIRTIES
One of the most important characteristics of
the hrties was an abnormally low birth rate Births
averaged at only ia per thousand population. This
was about 2O95 below the rate of the twenties. Dur
ing 1888 the depression low. Onethrd fewer babies
were born than during the high year Of the twentieS.
These few 1893 babies tOdays 1919 year old
youths Because of the low birth rate of the thirtes
there million fewer females in the l4-t9 age
group today than there were in 1910, despite 1496
increase in total population! This is remarkable
but sorry fact.
Two-thrds of the girls in the above group will
marry during the next five years This implies that
in this age group alone, our marriage potential
during the next five years has been reduced by
nearly 10000 marriages annually due to this one
factor. Think what this means to every business
man reading this column.
EFFECT ON FUTURE MARRIAGES
Another important influence on our marriage
rate for the near future is the great number of
riages which took place during the prosperous for
ties Especially did couples then marry at a younger
age The all-time high-mOre than 120 marriages
for each 1000 unmarried females 15-tOOk place
in 1916 This was more than double the Sc mar
riages per thousand in 1882, Moreover the aver
during the decade of the forties (ncluding the
war years. higher than during the boom of the
twenties
Not only did this accelerated rate compensate

THE LAST STRAW

A member of the Senate appropriations
committee recently warned his constituents
that money for local federal projects may not
be forth coming Of the serious fiscal pro-
blems" of the nation. Then, significantly he
said, "The feeling of concerted action some
where against these projects hung like a
shadow over the group" Could it be that
the prOverbial last straw has been added to
the backs of the taxpayers and the mysteri-
Gus concerted action" which the senator
felt OvershadOwed committee deliberations is
nothing more nor less than quiet rebellion
alnSt bureaucracy and governmental
waste?
Certainly the time is long past when we
can afford to regard government with indif-
ference At every level-city, county, state
and natiOnal-it is continually demanding
more of our substance. Freedom is in danger
of becoming a shOpworn figure of speech. 1t
can be lost although the polling booths never
close. 1t can be smOthered under the weight
OF cOnfiScatOry taxation or emaSculated by
direct economic controls. 1t can be absorbed
by government taking over commercial bus
mess enterprises, thus making all workers
the subjects" of a vast government tax
exempt monopoly deprived of the right to
strike and helpless to vote out the system
once it has been established.
We are farther along on this grim road
than most of us like to admit The situation
has been highlghted during the past year by
the braZen cOrruptness Of countless officials,
the steadily depreciating value of money. and
the shocking number of federal employees who
have been found poor security risks"
The concerted action" of a people fear
full for the future of the country is sOrely
needed

TAXPAYER ACTION NEEDED

In the first half of this fiscal year the
Federal government piled up deficit of ap-
prOximately $7,OOO,O 100000.
One reason for this rapid increase in the
national debt is wasteful spending, and the
defense spenders, with most of the budget at
their disposal, are responsible for a lot of it.
The Senate Preparedness subcommittee
recently reported what it called "inexcus-
able and indefensible waste" by the defense
establishment. They found "value-less" re-
petition of basic training, "Over-eaborate
recreatiOnal facilities" and unnecessary
building where available barracks were only
723t full
The waste, the Senate inquiry developed,
Simply resulted from unconcern with eco
nOmy." Well, the taxpayers ought to show
some concern if nobody else will.

Chicago. -- (ANP) -- Negroes
were influential In effectlng de-
oisIonB on most OF the important
issues acted upon at the 30th
quadrennlaI convention OF the
Democratic party which met for
one week in the International
Ampitheatre here.
Among the Issues which pro-
duced heated discussions at the
convention were those OF seating
delegates from Texas and Louis
lana. the drawing up OF an ac-
ceptable civil rights plank, and
the nomination OF n candidate for
the presidency.
Negroes were among the Texas
and Louisiana delegates who lost
their battle 10 be seated at the
convention. These delegates were
supporting the pro-TrumAn fac
ton. while the delegations which
were seated supported the anti.
Truman groups.
This battle over credentials de.
layed progreas Of the convention
for some time.
Efforts 10 produce an accept
able civil rights plank saw much
behind the scenes maneuvering
among tho various delegates.
Actively working for q strong
civil rights plank were Adam
Clayton Powell. representative,
N, Y: William Dawson. represen-
tatiVe. M; J. Raymond Jones and
Hulan Jack. both Of New York.
Delegates seeking q strong
civil rights plank turned down
the first one drawn up. They con.
sidered Il too vague and therefore
unsatisfactory.
A caucus was then called 10

was considered acceptable by most
Of the delegates However. there
were some who still considered Il
too vague. Among this latter
group were Powell and Sen. HUI

Actively working for Sen. Estes
