The men OF Duke UniverSity'S
Glee Club put on a varied eve
ming of music for the entertain
ment of a stable audience in
George Washington University's
Lisner Auditorium last night. In
the first two of four groups the
full glee club nodded in the di-
rectionS of such traditional COM
poSers as Bach, Arcadelt, Handel,
Purcell and Verdi, along with an
arrangement of the familiar
Prayer of Thanksgiving" and
pieces by Dickinson and Richter.
In the third group there were
modern arrangements of. spirit
uals. and the final group brought
versions of a favorite from Rich
ard Rodgers "Carousel," and
the Kentucky folk tune, Down
in the Valley" Other show
tunes of Rodgers and Gershwin
were sung by a selected triple
quartet of singers.
For more variety there were
vocal solos by William S. Jen-
nette, a tenor with a pleasing
voice, and Davis w. Duke a
baritone with an infectious sense
of shoWmanshiI and humor.
Donald L. Richardson, one Of
the two accompanies, played
piano solos by Chopin and Pou-
lenc. For two numbers each, r.
Bruce Pate and Paul B. Conway
stepped down from their regular
places in the chorus to do cred
liable jobs as student conduc-
tors. Raymond 3. Conway was
diljoept and in6efa fjoa h1e in his
role as accompanies for most of
the choruses as we'll as for both
of the vocal soloiSts.
Several of the spirituals and
the show tunes were iazzed up
with gestures and other She
nanigans that did much to liven
up the audience and bring them
in on the general good time that
the Glee Club was obviously en-
joying during the whole evening.

NATION NEEDS LESS TALK, MORE ACTION
AFL News Reporter

Sinclair Weeks Secretary of Commerce. says he
is Optimistic about current business conditions be-
cause economic indexes are favorable ''al the way
along the line
The facts are that persons were unem-
ployed this last May than any May during the past
10 years. One out of IL American workers are un-
employed or working only part time.
Just this month, 81 industrial centers were added
to the list of areas of substantial unemployment
those having per cent of their labor force
without jobs. The total stands at 1873
Total wage and salary payments are declining
at the rate of more than $12 billion year. Secretary
Weeks own Commerce Department reports that
personal income in the nation declined in April,
the latest date for which figures are available for
the sixth straight month. His department also esti-
mates that businessmen will continue to cut their
spending now for plants and equipment through
the third quarter Of this year If accurate, the es
mate means businessmen will have reduced their
capital outlay in every three-month period since
the third quarter of last year
The Agriculture Department reveals that farmers
received per cent less for their crops and livestock
during the first five months of 1854 than for the
period year earlier. The net income of Glass rail
roads-those with at least ST million of business
year-n the first four months of this year declined
by $34 million from a year ago. The Studebaker
Corp announces 5000 employees are being laid off
this week. the eighth closedown this year. Officials
said slow retail sales to blame.
And meantime, the Federal Governments debt
has risen by some SIS p billion in the last year.
1t cannot be forgotten that the members of
the Eisenhower team who business getting
better soon are the same ones who said last January
Instead it jumped to more than 3.3 million in March
and has stayed there.

thing will be all right if leave the decision to that
wise body, the Federal Power Commission.
We thought this seemed suspicious. Now we
know our fears well-founded. Thomas L. Stokes,
the distinguished correspondent of the Scripps-How-
ard newspapers has written a column warning that
the Eisenhower Administration is stacking the Fed
era Power Commission in favor of the private util-
ties.
Here's what Stokes said Tin a column which was
NOT published by his Portland client):
'Topside packing has been done by replacing
commissioners who have shown strong concern about
the public and consumer interest. New commissioners
more sympathetic to the private business and indus
trial interests that subjects of regulation take

Stokes has pointed out, for example, that the
new chairman of the Federal Power Commission is
Jerome Kuykendall, satellite of Arthur B. Langlie
Washingtons antipubic power and anti-Hels Can
yon governor.
We repeat the warning here, because advocates
of full regional development for the Northwest
should not be deceived by the "let-the-Federal-Pow
err Commission-do-it" crowd led by Mckay and Cor
don

AN OPPORTUNITY
From Gary (Ind.) POST TRIBUNE

In connection with the foreign-aid program,
there has been disposition in Congress to penal
ize India because it's Prime Minister, Pandit Nehru
declines to take stand toward communism which
closely matches the American view.
We have patience with Nehru's attitude, but
any sort of punitive action part would be
than shortsighted.
midas teeming millions are rich breeding
ground for communism. The country's intellectual
leaders have put sharp watch neighboring Red
China to observe how its radical commanding ex-
perments work out.
We and western friends have golden OPP
portunity to win India permanently for democracy
and perhaps ultimately for the West-if can
demonstrate superiority of way of life that
offered by the Communists
The way to do this is not to tell Indians what they
must think, but to show them how democracy and
free economy can work to their advantage.
That is the purpose of the Point " program with
its assistance to agriculture to community develop
ment to health and sanitation and the like That pro-
gram deserves in Congress the support President
Eisenhower and FOA Chief Harold Stassen are now
asking for it.

HOOVER COMMISSION DOING WHAT
ADMINISTRATION WANTS DONE
LABOR, Railroad Brotherhoods' Newspap

LABOR, railroad BrOCnernOOuS newspaper
Interior Secretary Mckay has often said that the
administrations policy is to have local interests,
instead of the Federal Government, build dams and
power plants rivers whether those interests are
public or private Here's some proof that the ad-
ministration favors only private interests:
Rejecting proposals that Uncle Sam build big
power plant on the mighty Niagara River, Congress
is putting through bill which would enable New
plant. New York State certainly is local interest,",
not federal.
But now Robert Noses chairman of the New
York State Power Authority, and Republican,
charges that task force of the Hoover Commits
sion, appointed by President Eisenhower, is trying
to block the state public project bill and turn the
Niagara to private power trust combine.
The task force, headed by Admiral Ben Moreel,
held two days of hearings in New York City, listened
to advocates of private project for Niagara, then
departed without giving Moses a chance to have
his say So he Moreel hot letter which, in part
says this:
It is no function of your task force to give away
New York States resources and property at Niagara
to five ambitious utility companies. The additional
power on the New York side of Niagara is no part
of the Federal Government. 1t is business of the
Hoover Commission.
The minute the New York State project bill
started through Congress, Moses told Moreel, the
private utility combine Figured that the Hoover
Commission would be fine place to start back
fire But why should you let your task force be the
patsy for this sort of thing?'
The answer is simple: The Moreel task force is
doing what the Hoover Commission wants it to do.
And the Hoover Commission is doing what the Eisen-
hover Administration wants it to do

THE REPUBLICAN TAX MESS
By WILLARD SHELTON
In LABOR'S DAILY (ITU)

Senate Republicans made an inglorious and un-
successful attempt to retreat from their so-called
tax reform bill when they Smelled political threat
to themselves
At the last minute in hastily called secret eau
GUS the Republican leadership tried to block pas
sage of the George Amendment-to increase per-
sona income tax exemptions by 500 per person.
by producing compromise"
The compromise would have allowed loW-income
and mdde-income families to claim $500, instead
of 5000, for husband and wife, but not for depend
ents such children or aged relatives.
The maximum benefit to any family from this
provision would have been to excuse $40 year in
taxes.
The compromise also attempted to meet criticism
of administration favortsm to wealthy investors by
cancelng out part of the special privileges voted
by the House and by the Senate Finance Committee
to stockholders.
The administration bill allows investors to claim
$50 special tax wrte-off this year income earned
from dividends and 500 year hereafter. The COP
compromise would have stricken out the thereafter
section, leaving standing only the $50 special exemp
ton.
Chairman Millikin of the Senate Finance Com
mittee and his fellow Republicans did not advance
this compromise because they liked it. They did it
because they realized that the simple George Amend
ment to give some tax relief to the vast aority of
families rather than to only a few, had attracted
wide public support.
The administration bill, pushed through the
House over the strenuous opposition of all but hand
full of Democrats would cut eventually to
the tune of 81 billion year And IS per cent of the
benefits would go to corporations and to families
making $4,000 year and more.
Treasury Secretary Humphrey kept bleating that
the government could not "afford' to lose the $22
billion in estimated tax reductions involved in the
George Amendment He never explained why the
Treasury could 'afford to cut taxes through it's
bill by about S1.9 billion this year. 81 billion year
later but couldn't tolerate reduction in revenue
which spread the benefits among all the people.
The Republican compromise" was beaten, and
then the George Amendment beaten, with four
'budget-balancing' Democrats de-
serting Senator George after helping defeat the COP
switch. The four Democratic budget-baancers were
simply laying groundwork for fighting Secretary
Humphreys inevitable appeal for an increase in
the statutory limit the national debt.
President Eisenhower could have avoided this
confusion and parliamentary mess if his administra
ton had brought in decent tax bill beginning.
He will have budget deficit this fiscal year, and
probably next fiscal year. but he could have had his
way in Congress if he had honestly and honorably
proclaimed this fact, and demanded support He

BENSON IOWA

From Wallace's Farmer In IOWA HOMESTEAD
Have Iowa farmers quit raising hogs in order to
sell to the Government?
You'd get that idea from Secretary of Agriculture
Ezra T. Benson's Iowa speeches around June l.
Benson told Iowa people that the present farm
program had encouraged farmers "to produce
and wheat for storage rather than for meat,
eggs, and other livestock products"
Let's look at Iowa hog production. What do the
figures show?
Iowa farmers produced over 10 million hogs for
market in 1858 Only four times in history has that
total been exceeded.
The years when last years hog production were
exceeded in Iowa 1913, 1880 1851, and 1862.
The total in 1850 only slightly the 1853
total.
The 10 million hogs produced in Iowa last year
was per cent above the 10-year average.
And for this year-1954-the Iowa hog produc-
ton total promises to bounce right up former
record highs despite corn price supports.
The Secretary should know that drought had
great deal to do with reduction in hog totals nation
ally For example, 1858 spring pig crop in the South
Central States 80 per cent below 1852
Figures hog production used here from
Bensons Department of Agriculture.
And there are figures there to prove that
meat production has gone up, not down. in this period
when so-called high price supports were in effect.
Meat production in 1858 exceeded that of any
peacetime year Consumption of red meat per person
at 154 pounds highest since 1908.
Price supports at present levels have not made
Iowa farmers quit raising hogs Benson implies
Neither have they national production of meat
and livestock products.
