How many people know
what Is meant by the express
sion % stable dollar? Yet
whether America Is to have q
sound dollar depends upon the
number of voters throughout
America who understand the
meaning of that term.
Hence, when the President
Of the United States explains
1t In the simplest language,
his words are worth printing
in exactly the form In which
he uttered them. Paraphrases
Of condensed dispatches do not
always convey the full mean
ing. And basic education on
the Importance Of the dollar
as a unit Of purchasing power
has been neglected. Only
when the dollar begins to buy
less and less does the public
awaken to the dangers and
begin to ask questions as to
why the catastrophe has
happened.
Mr.. Eisenhower explained
his concept Of the dollar when
he was asked at his press con-
ference what he thought Of
the proposal of the majority
Of the Democrats in the House
Of Representatives to give
everybody a $40 tax cut. The
President did not say that tax
cuts couldn't be granted while
the budget was unbalanced.
Indeed the correction of in
equitable tax rates last year
led actually to an expansion
of business and an increase in
the total tax receipts. He did
say, however. that a tax cut
which ignored sound principles
of taxation and resulted in in
flation was dangerous to the
economy.
"Any proposal to reduce
taxes" explained the Presi-
dent, "is. Of course. popular,
and at first glance this is a
kind of proposal that should
make an appeal to low-income
brackets. Let's take a little
closer look at this proposal
and start of with this obser-

CFU's 1bmm Film
Remains Available

Pittsbu-ES',, Pa. - Though
the film "This Is Your Gro
attain Fraternal Union" has
been shown in a number Of
C.F.U. centers in America,

AS you most certainly must
have read in previous an
nouncements, but a'"'her
description will not be super
fluous, we reiterate that it is
a technicolor and narrative
film, with the narration by
Stephen r. Brkich, the Eng
Iish Editor of the Zajednicar.
The film is of the 16mm
variety and has a r~nning
time of fifty-five minutes.
While there is no rental fee
for the film, the lodge gre ps
using it must furnish their
own protector, empty reel,
screen and experienced or IL
censed operator.
A Bell-Hc ell or an R.C.A.
protector will definitely give
the best results. An inferior
protector or inexperienced op-
orator may give you a show
ing other than what we wish.
Because t." film is gener-
! ally always in circulation and
of ..,7estimable value, we ask
that lodges contemplating the
films showing first ascertain
open dates with this Depart
ment.
Because Of its value, and
this solely to the Society, we
ask that without fail return
be made by first class mail

Ashburn sat in the dugout at

Ashburn sustained a strained

he collided with Ennis as both

Mickey Mantle of the Yankees.
Ennis, who sustained a hairline
leg fracture, also sat out yes

was slippery but-like Ashburn

DevIin May Accept
Semipro Teams Offer

Whether Corky Devlin, high
scorer in the recent East
West game at Madison Square
Garden, will go into the
pro game is uncertain. He
has been contacted by busi-
ness firm that sponsors a good
AAU team (semipro) and Devlin
says he sees a fine chance there
for both a permanent business
career and some basketball play
ing on the side.
It'd have to see what sort OF
deal the pros have to offer before
I make up my mind" he said,
"but this AAU team combined
with a business seems mighty
attractive"
Devlin is the type of player
most experts think would click in
the pro game. He is a fine out
side shooter and doesn't need to
charge in under the basket for
his points. He also is an excel
lent floor player, ball handler
and "take-charge" type who can
organize a teams attack.
Devlin will become la in the
