those engaged in processing foods, supplying cloth
ing, shelter and fuel should continue to give full en-

cans to serve in their army and replace the Allied

COLD WAR PREPARATIONS
Most of the industrial activity today is not due
to the Korean conflict, but to preparing for World
War III This will continue to give full employment
for from six to twelve months more. Furthermore,
the making of military supplies may become a new
and permanent industry for some years ahead If
so, no efficient workers need suffer this year from
an ending Of the Korean War
Some companies may be affected by President
EisenhoWer's determination to avoid overlapping
military orders and reducing costs. This could mean
smaller profits to some, which would make them
reduce their labor forces and cause some unem-
ployment in certain communities But only the
latest and least efficient employees need to be laid
off,
BUSINESS OUTLOOK
The above means that several railroads may be
hurt by peace in the Pacific; but most industrial
plants have nothing now to fear. The new Admins
tration will insist lower costs and no rush work
or overtime. This means that manufacturers and
WageWorkers must be more efficient
Frankly, feel that this will be a good thing
all around. Our riding high and handsome" the
past few years was leading to bad fall for us ALL
Now the new policy could give manufacturers and
WageWorkers an opportunity to adjust themselves
gradually to the new conditions. visualize slowly
declining business but not panicky. Nose advertis-
ing Will be found to be the best cushion.

Plymouth To Offer New
Low Cost Shift
Free Drive

Plymouth Motor Corporation an
nOunces a Detroit Factory delivered
price of $135.OO, plus tax, for Ply
mouth Hy-Drive, an innovation
which combines torque converter
and Synchro Silent three speed
transmission.
Hy-Drive enables the driver to
operate his car under all normal
traffic conditions without shifting
gears. President John P. Mansfield
said it will be available by late
spring on all 1853 model Plymouth
cars.
In Hy-Drive operation, the engine
is started with the lever in neutral.
After the engine has been started,
the driver shifts directly into high.
All normal driving is done from
this point on in Hy-Drive, and shift
ing is eliminated.
There is no need to touch the
clutch or shift gears to stop and
start. Stopping is done with the
brake pedal alone, and starting
through normal use Of the acceler-
atOr pedal.
'The smooth, automatic action
Of the torque converter takes the
place Of and eliminates the neceasi-
ty for gear shifting in normal driy-

EMANCIPATION?

Declaring that "Ineficiency
should not be subsidized in agri-
culture or any other segmen of
our economy" Secretary of Agri-
culture Ezra Taft Benson struck
out boldly in his first speech as a
Government official at the most
fearsome bOgy in pOlitics-farm
price support as q continuing pol
icy.
He would, he promised, carry out
present laws providing compulsory
supports at 80 per cent of parity
for 1853 and 1854. But" he said.
price supports which tend to pre-
vent production shifts toward a
balanced supply in terms of de-
mand and which encourage uneco-
nOmic production and result in con-
tinuing heavy surpluses and sub
sides should be avoided.
Price supports should be employ
ed as disaster insurance"
relief programs should be oper-
ated as such," and Terminated
as soon as the emergency is over"
Farmers, said Mr.. Benson, should
not be placed in the position of
working for Government bounty
rather than producing for a free
market"
There can be no doubt that Mr..
Benson is very brave man-and
a very honest one to be so forth
right in his first public utterance.
But it would appear that his broad,
general principles are not too far
from those of the 100000 mem
bers of the American Farm Bureau
Federation who have gone on rec
ord for budget reduction and no
tax cuts until that is done, for sim
plification of customs procedures
to stimulate international trade
and thus reduce foreign aid re-
quirements, and ultimately for a
price support system with a fiex-
ible parity of from rs to 80 per
cent at the discretion of the Secre-
tary of Agriculture.
Directors of the Farm Bureau,
headed by President Allan D. Kline.
presented their policy resolution
(briefed above) to the President
and the Secretary in calls at the
White House and the Department
of Agriculture, signalling the end
of the Bureaus two-year feud with
Washington. Nobody" it was re-
ported, was unhappy about the
talks" And everybody appeared
more than happy at being made
welcome by the new Administra-
tion.
AS for American farmers at
large, it is hard to believe that any
can take exception to what Mr..
Benson terms the broad outline"
of his policy which is based on
1.-THE supreme worth of the indi-
dividual as a free man the
dignity of labor and the conviction
that you can not build character
by taking away mans initiative

Washington Letter = By Robert Nelson ToYlor

"YoU NEVER HAD IT so cLEAN'
Since there seems to be con-
siderable confusion in the public
mind regarding tax-cutting and
promises OF tax-cutting, this should
be good time to make it clear
that nothing can or will happen
to make your income tax payments
any less this year than they were
last.
Representative Daniel A. Reed
(Rep) of New York is still insist
ing taxes should be cut now, and
the House may even have passed
his tax cut bill 40 per cent off for
about so million of us) by the time
you read this. But, in view of Sen
atOr Taft's recent comment, "I
don't think you can cut taxes be-
fore you cut the budget" and the
Administrations announced be-
lief that budget-balancing should
come before tax-cutting, the Reed
regislatiOn is unlikely to receive
Senate support. And, even if it did,
there would still be the, detail of
Presidential signature.
And, even if it became law, the
Reed measure would apply on 1853
income, beginning June 3Oth, not
on what you earned last year, and
pay for March 18th. Thus, that
new quip that is gaining a place
in the vernacular should describe
perfectly the national pocketbook,
come the Ides of March-'You new
er had it so clean!"
However, if the Administration
drive to check imitation bears fruit,
we're going to find a dollar that
buys more is just as good as a cut
in taxes, and a CLEANER start in
living up to campaign promises.
kNIFE.AND.FoR< DIPLOMACY
At nOon-time, for the next month
or more, the White House will be a
buster place than many a Wash
ingtOn luGch-rOom. The well-known
spokesman" has announced that
luncheOns with members of Con-
greSs, which we're begun by the
President on Friday the Thirteenth
(Of February are to be continued
until Mr.. EisenhOuser has broken
bread with all of the more than 500
members of the House and Sen
ate.
Twenty guests at the initial lun-
cheOn included ten Republicans and
ten DemOcrats-and the conversa-
tiOn no doubt included the Presi-
dents golfing practice in the White
House back yard, the weather, and
perhaps a casual reference to what
the Chief Executive has in mind
for the boys to do. There may even
have been inquiries as to when he
thinks he may be able to get away
for a rest.
It all reminds us, somehow of

Hy-Drive is an exclusive Ply
mouth development. 1t is the only
torQue converter in the low price
field in which a common oil sup
ply is used for the converter and

the drive mechanism. There are
fewer parts than in designs where
the oil systems are separate.
Manual shifting through first
and second gears is possible, but
almost never needed except for
pulling through heavy sand or for
engine braking in descending steep
mountain grades.

at it's bitter end, frustrating) ca
reer in the nations service, may be
considerably delayed for General
James A. Van Fleet, retiring COM
mander of the U. S. Eighth Army
in Korea.
AS the General, who has said that
certainly UN forces could mount

the present time, and that the AL

following MacArthur's ouster)

gressmen alike were planning TO
+
Since it appears that no less than
four separate committees in the
Senate and House are anxious for
his views, perhaps the simplest So
luton might be a joint session of
Congress. And, while we think this
would be a good idea on general
principles land no pun is intend
ed, further and less public inves-
tigation would doubtless have to
follow. What seems to make this
a certainty is the recent testimony
of General Omar Bradley, Chair
man of the Joint Chiefs of Stats.
in which, various Senators report,
he declared a win-the-war offen-
sive in Korea would entail tremen-
dous increase in manpOwer, heavy
casualties and possible and unnec-
essary prOvOcatiOn of World War
III.
General Bradley, it should be re-
membered, stated his belief nearly
two years ago that the MacAr-
thur strategy was likely to involve
us "in the wrong war, at the wrong
place. at the wrong time, and with
the wrong enemy" He apparent
ly has not changed his mind-nor
does he seem to have recovered
from the spell of Svengali Acheson
who had the generals stewing over
foreign policy, while he took over
military tactics and decision.
Even though it appears extreme
ly doubtful that the Eisenhower
Administration is considering
ground action as the key to the
Korean deadlock at this late date.
it should be wholesome to place on
the record, in full, the reasoning
of these distinguished and anti
thetic generals. Certainly, in the
case of General Van Fleet, whose
career closes on his most unhappy
assignment, the nation could offer
no less.

The Federal government consists of a

Employees in some of these offices are

ABC Board Weighs Protest
In Liquor License Shift

The Alcoholic Beverage Con-
troll Board today has under con-
sideration the request for a
transfer of the license of a pack
age liquor store from the Gen.
trail Drug Co., Inc, 429
Twelfth street NV. to Abraham
w. Bookoff at 123 Fifteenth
street NE.
At q hearing yesterday, the
Lincoln Park Citizens Associa-
tion protested the transfer on
the grounds that it would be
only a block away from Holy
Comforter Church and three
blocks from the Eliot Junior
High School and that there are
enough liquor stores in the area.
Three other package stores in
the area also objected to the
transfer.
Mr.. Bookof presented a petit
tion favoring the transfer signed
by $40 residents of the area.
The opposition presented a petit
tion signed by 321 residents.

Bank Of England Rate
On Loans Reduced
To 81 Per Cent

LONDON, Sept. IT. Britain
today slashed the government
bank rate by one-half per cent
today in a sudden move paving
the way for cheaper, more
plentiful sterling.
Chancellor of the Exchequer
Richard A. Butler, master mind
of Britain'S economy, reduced
the rate from 4 to 31a per cent.
The bank rate is the interest
figure at which the nationalized
Bank of England lends money.
The governments action indi-
Gated Prime Minister Churchills
regime has decided it has pretty
well licked the imitation which
once threatened the British
economy.
Since taking Office after the
general election of October, 1851,
the Conservative government had
raised the bank rate twice as a
def1ationary measure-from 2 to
212 per cent in November, 1851,
and from 2la to a whopping 4
per cent in March, 1852.
Lowering the rate means that
money will be cheaper and easier
to borrow throughout the sterling
trading world, since such loans
are pegged to the rate the ster-
ling bloc's banks must pay to
the Bank of England, the bloc's
| central pool of funds.
