President Eisenhower's top
aides told congress they see little
chance Of drastic cutbacks in de-
tense and foreign-aid spending
now and that it is questionable
whether the budget can be bal
anced IN the coming fiscal year.
This bears out previous predic-
tlons of spokesmen in the ad-
ministration.
The nations production of
goods and services last year was
the highest in history. 1t rose to
$346 billion, a. 5 per cent gain
over dollar volume in 1851. Price
increases, however, accounted for
about half of this rise, so that the
actual expansion in physical vol
ume was around 25 per cent. De-
fense purchases in 1852 took
about IA per cent of total output.
Secretary of State Dulles and
his department, which is having
its troubles with Sen. Joseph Nc
Carthy of Wisconsin, has an
nounced that the department does
need a shakeup and that he is
just the man to do it. At the same
time he denied that department
policies are being dictated" by
Senator Mccarthy or other con-
gressional investigators.
Farmers welcomed the Eisen-
hover administrations announce
ment that it would continue to
support butter and other dairy
prices at 80 per cent of parity for
another year. The announcement
was made in the middle of a
roaring debate over declining
farm prices on the senate floor.
Even as the debate ragged, the
Agriculture Department reported
that the general level of farm
prices dropped 1.48 per cent be-
tween mid-January and mid
February. 1t was the sixth con-
secutive monthly decline and it
sent prices about II per cent be-
low the record high of February
1851.
Some fairly sharp price rises
occurred when the government
jerked price ceilings from an
other II billion dollars worth of
goods, including cigarettes. near
ly all groceries and two basic de
fense metals copper and
aluminium. Copper increased in
price by 3 cents per pound and
some cigarette makers raised
their prices. The Office of Price
Sterilization predicts that prices
may continue to increase on some
items for a short time.
President Eisenhower said in
his recent news conference he
would be willing to meet Premier
Stain face to face and attempt to
thresh out differences between

People wonder why glaciers,
or ice sheets, came down from
the north and covered millions
of square miles in North Amer
lea, Europe and Asia.
The answer has something to
do with sunshine. It is plain that
there was less heat during the
thousands of years when glaciers
were sweeping southwark. Why
was there less heat?
One theory supposes that the
rising of vast masses of land
brought on cold weather. We
know that tall mountains have
everlasting fields of ice, some
times glaciers. There are glaciers
today in and about many noun
tains of Canada and Alaska, also
on some mountains of the United
States. Switzerland has valley
glaciers which have been seen
by millions of foreign visitors.
The thin air around a noun
tain top makes poor use of the
rays of sunshine. Snow is likely

mighty ice sheets of which we
know.
Another theory has to do with
spots on the sun. More storms
than usual take place on earth
when there are many sunspots.
If the sun became extremely
spotty during a period of thou
sands of years, the sky above
the earth may have been filled
with clouds.
Clouds block the light of the
sun, and cut off heat to some
extent. This does much to cool
the air below them.
If clouds did make the average
temperature fall from 10 to 80
degrees, they might explain the
ice sheets.
Next time I shall present Q
third theory which seems to me
better than those have ex.
planned today.

The bidding:
North East South West
club Pass heart Pass
INT Pass 4heartS All Pass
The opening lead was the
deuce of diamonds and Mr.. Abel
read it correctly as a singleton.
He knew Mrs. Keen rarely leads
a singleton unless she has a
quick trump winner, so he
mentally placed the ace of
hearts in her hand. Suppose he
won the first trick and led a
heart which Mrs. Keen won?
Her problem would then be
how to reach her partners hand
so that she would ruff a dia-
mond return. That would be
possible only in one of the black
suits. There was at least a So
so chance she would return a
club and even if the ace were in
Mr.. Dale's hand, Mr.. Abel could
ruff, pick up the remaining
trumpS, concede a diamond trick
and make his contract.
He followed this plan but,
after winning with the ace of
tfumps, Mrs. Keen had no prob
lem. Holding the ace of clubs
herself, she led back a spade
as the only hope. Mr.. Dale took
the ace and the following dia-
mond ruff completed the set.
Mr.. Champion was as con-
goling as usual. "How bad can
you get?" he asked.
Mr.. Abel thought he had rea-
soned it out pretty well, What
did you want me to do, finesse
the diamond at the first trick?"
he inquired.
"Of course not" Mr.. Cham
pion snapped. "Your ace of dia-
mondS play was all right. But
at the second trick you've got
to lead the king of clubs"
To Mr.. Champion, plays like
this are simplicity itself unless,
of course, he is the one who
misses them.
The fact remains that on this
particular hand, the play would
have won. If Mr.. Dale covered
the king of clubs, Mr.. Abel could
ruff. Actually, he could not
cover. So Mr.. Abel would dis
card his lone spade, thus cut
ting the last possible line of
communication between the de-
tenders hands. Mr.. Abel's losers
would be confined to the ace of
clubs, a trump trick and a dia-
mond trick.

Up To THE People Back
Home"

Taxpayers Dollar, a publica-
ton of the Chamber of Commerce
of the United States, recently had
this to say: Economy in Wash
ington is possible only if the people
back home genuinely want it, and
work for it. There are two ways
in which the people in the cities
and states of the nation can work
for economy:
First, they can see that no pres
sures are PIT on the government
for more spending. Almost every
body wants economy, but almost
everybody also has some pct
projects on which he thinks federal
money ought to be spent. An $50
billion budget is made up in large
part of these pet proiects-a mil
lion here and a million there. BY
refraining from such pressurcs.
and by urging others to do the
same. the people back home car
case the burden on the taxpayer
Second, they can urge action
for economy on the government
both in the executive branch and
in Congress. In a democracy, it
is the right and duty of the citizen
not only to vote, but to take an
active and continuous interest III
his government. Federal spending
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1953-01-29

and taXes-are certainly among
the foremost concerns of every
citizen"
In the long run, the people get
the kind of government they want
and deserve-whethe it be eco
nomical efficient government, or
nomical, efficient government. One
of the most indefensible practices
of the last 20 years has been the
way all kinds of local groups in
Guiding most chambers of COM
merce, have demanded government
economy-andt then demanded right
along with it appropriations that
would put tax money in their
pockets. If we are to have economy
there can be no exceptions.

WHAT SHALL WE DO?

There has appeared in this news
paper, in recent weeks, series
of articles about the Maryland
highway system. If you read them
YOU have learned something of the
history of our highway system,
what it is like today, what it needs
in the way of Improvements, what
those improvements will cost and
how we could finance the 12-year
program of modernization sug-
rested by the State Roads Com
mission and the Highway Advisory
Council.
There remains, however, one i'm
portant question:
'Do we want it?"
If we do the question of time be-
comes equally important.
For the last five years, thanks to
extra money available from bond
issue authorized in 1947, the COM
mission has been able to improve
roads at the rate of about 100000
600 year.
The last of that extra money will
be used up before the end Of 1858.
When it has been spent, and If
there are no new revenues to take
it's place, the commission declares
it will have to cut back the high
way improvement program to
financial level that will make I'M
possible any further gains toward
the goal of complete moderniza-
ton. In other words, without more
money than present revenues will
provide, it cannot hope to improve
the road system. Probably it can
not even hold its own in the fight
against deterioration and obso-
lescence.
People must decide, before the
1853 session of the General AS
sembly ends, what is to be done.
If there is to be no interruption of
the improvement program the Cen
eral Assembly must take the legis-
lative steps necessary to assure its
continuance. 1t must increase
revenues and it must authorize a
bond issue.
Tie members of the 1853 General
Assembly thus are faced with
grave responsibility. To discharge
that possibility they must
know the desires of the people they
represent. The more clearly those
desires are made known to them
the more satisfactorily they can
deal with this pressing problem.
Thus, the responsihiIi+v really
belongs to the people of MARYLAND
the people who use the roads,
those whom the roads s"rvr those
who pay for the roads and those
who benefit from them.
