Catholic Elves
Reject Planned
City Title Game

The Catholic League has pulled
out Of the proposed city cham
pionship basketball double
header with the Interhigh
League. It was learned yesterday
that the Catholic schools voted
1910 in a league meeting Thurs
! day not to send their top two
teams into the March 6 games
at Richie Coliseum. Each Of
the eight Catholic schools had
two votes.
The games were to have
matched the Interhigh champion
against GonZaga, the Catholic
Division winner. and the Inter
high runnerup against either st.
Johns or Carroll. whichever fin-
iishes second to Gonzaga.
Hardy Pearce, director Of
athletics for District public high
schools, said he received a letter
Friday from Brother Fintan An
drew of st. Johns. president Of
the Catholic League, notifying
him Of the decision.
The Catholic Leagues reason
for dropping out, according to
league officers. was that the post
season schedule already is too
heavy because Of previous COM
mitments. Also, the Catholic
League champion win not be de-
cided until after the proposed
City Championship games. Con-
zaga plays DeMatha. Division
II winner. on March 8.
Pearce said that he made a
counterproposal that GonZaga
and st. Johns play by invitation
instead of as representatives Of
their league. Brother Andrew re-
ported back that both schools
decided not to do this either.

BOWLING

Perhaps the most rollicking
bowling league In Washington is
composed of q batch of college
graduates. Victory. it seems. Is
secondary to the men who make
up the Intercollegiate Alumni
League at the Hi-skor. The big
thing with them, just as it was
when the. league was conceived
more than a quarter century ago,
Is companionship and joyiality.
Membership Is restricted to
alumni Of the IA colleges repre-
sented and. by tradition, the
bowling night is Thursday. The
leagues graybeards, and there
are several who have rolled every
season since Its formation in 1928,
tell of the origin. Thursday being
maids night out" a group of
college friends fell into the habit
Of dining downtown together,
and topping of the evening with
a bowling jamboree.
Their combined skill wouldn't
have been enough to produce one
first class duckpinner. and by the
same token the good fellowship
qualities Of team Of stars might
not have equalled those Of a
single member of the nucleus
of the intercollegiate Alumni
League.
Nor will you find a star among
the Alumni today. although al
Seigel of Yale and Roy Tuerke
of Cornell are above average at
l09-15 and 1895, respectively,
after the first half of the split
season.
There are various prizes. but
most of the leagues money goes
into q fund to finance two parties
a year.
These affairs are so popular,
we hear, that members who
thought 70 give up bowling have
been known to stay on just to be
eligible for the wing dings.

Doran said yesterday that the

matter. "Our team needs a good
rest for that State tournament
March 8. 9 and 100. We had
considered withdrawing earlier;
even last week." Doran said.

To Foster q
Strong Economy

Our competitive enterprise
system depends on the energy
of free human beings, limited by
prudent restraints in law, using
free markets to plan. organize
and distribute production. and
spurred by the prospect of re-
ward for successful effort. This
system has developed our re-
sources. It has marvelously ex-
banded our productive capacity
Against the record of all
other economic systems devised
through the ages. this conpeti-
tive system has proved the most
creative user of human skills in
the development of physical re-
sources. and the richest rewarder
of human effort.
This is still true in this era
when improved living standards
and rising national requirements
are accompanied by swift adj
vances in technology and rapid
obsolescence in machines and
methods. Typical of these are
the strides made in construction
|of plants to produce electrical
energy from atomic power and
of laboratories and installations
for the application of this new
force in industry. agriculture and
the healing arts. These develop
ments make it imperative-to
assure effective functioning Of
our enterprise system-that the
Federal Government concern it
self with certain broad areas Of
our economic life. Most impor-
tant of these is:

Area
RedeveIopment

We must help deal with the
pockets Of chronic unemploy-
ment that here and there mar
the Nations general industrial
prosperity. Economic changes
in recent years have been often
$50 rapid and far-reaching that
areas committed to a single
local resource or industrial ac-
tivity have found themselves
temporarily deprived Of their
markets and their livelihood.
Such conditions mean severe
hardship for thousands of people
as the slow process of adaptation
to new circumstances goes on.
This process can be speeded up.
Last year / authorized a major
study of the problem to find ad-
ditional steps to supplement ex-
isting programs for the redevolp-
ment Of areas of chronic unem-
ployment. Recommendations will
be submitted, designed to supple
ment with Federal technical and
loan assistance local efforts to
get on with this vital job. I'M
proving such communities must,
OF course. remain the primary
responsibility of the people liv-
ing there and Of their States.
But a soundly conceived Federal
partnership program can be of
real assistance to them in their
efforts.

Resources
Conservation

l wish to re-emphasize the
critical Importance Of the wise
use and conservation of our great
natural resources of land. forests,
minerals and water, and their
long-range development consist
ent with our agricultural policy,
Water, in particular, now plays
an increasing role in industrial
processes, in the irrigation OF
land. in electric power, as well as
in domestic use. At the same
time, 1t has the potential OF
damage and disaster.
A comprehensive legislative
program for water conservation
will be submitted to the Congress
during the session. The develop
ment Of our water resources can
not be accomplished overnight
The need is such that we must
make faster progress and without
delay. Therefore. I strongly rec
ommend that action be taken al
this session on such wholly Fed
eral projects as the Colorado
River storage project and the
Frying Pan-Arkansas project; on
the John Day partnership prof.
ect, and other projects which
provide for cooperative action
between the Federal Government
and non-Federal interests. and
on legislation, which makes pro-
vision for Federal participation
in small projects under the pri-
mary sponsorship Of agencies Of
State and local government.

savings accounts are thereby
shriveled.
We have made long strides
these past three years in bring
ing our Federal finances under
control. The deficit for fiscal
year 1853 was almost 9la billion
dollars. Larger deficits seemed
certain - deficits which would
have deprecated the value OF
the dollar and pushed the cost
of living still higher. But Gov
eminent waste and extrava-
gance were searched out. Nom
essential activities were dropped
Government expenses were care
fully scrutinized. Total spending
was cut by IA billion dollars be-
low the amount planned by the
previous Administration for the
fiscal year 1854.
This made possible--and II
was appropriate in the existing
circumstances of transition to a
peacetime economy-the largest
tax cut in any year in our his
tory. Almost $7.5 billion were
released and every taxpayer in
the country benefited. Almost
two-thirds of the savings went
directly to individuals. This tax
cut also helped to build up the
economy, to make jobs In in
dustry and to increase the pro-
duction Of the many things de-
sired to improve the scale OF

Fiscal Integrity

A public Office is, indeed. a
public trust. None of its aspects
is more demanding than the
proper management Of the
public finances. l refer now not
only to the indispensable virtues
of plain honesty and trust
worthiness but also to the pru-
dent, effective and conscientious
use OF tax money. refer also
to the attitude Of mind that
makes efficient and economical
service to the people a watch
word in our Government.
Over the long term, a
balanced budget is a sure index
to thrifty management in a
home, in a business or in the
Federal Government, When
achievement Of a balanced
budget is for long put of in a
business or home. bankruptcy is
the result. But in similar cir
cumstances a Government re-
sorts to imitation of the money
supply. This inevitably results
in depreciation of the value of
the money, and an increase in
the cost of living. Every invest
ment In personal security is
threatened by this process of in
flation, and the real values of
the peoples savings whether in
the form Of insurance. bonds.

Agriculture

Our farm people are not shar-
ing as they should in the general
prosperity. They alone of all
major groups have seen their in
comes decline rather than rise.
They are caught between two
millstones rising production
costs and declining prices. Such
harm to a part of the national
economy so vitality important to
everyone is of great concern to
us all. No other resource Is so
indispensable as the land that
feeds and clothes us. No group
is more fundamental to our ma
tional life than our farmers.
In successful prosecution of the
war, the Nation called for the
utmost effort Of its farmers.
Their response was superb. their
contribution unsurpassed. Farm
ers are not now to be blamed
for the mountainous, price-de-
pressing surpluses produced in

Disaster Assistance

A modern community is a
complex combination of skills,
specialized buildings. machines,
communications and homes.
Most Importantly it involves
human lives. Disaster in many
forms-by flood, frost, high
winds. for instance-can destroy
on a massive scale in a few hours
the labor of many years.
Through the past three years
the administration has repeat
edly moved into action wherever
disaster struck. The extent Of
State participation in relief ac-
tivities, however, has been far
from uniform and, in many
cases, has been either inadequate
or nonexiStent. Disaster assist
ance legislation requires over
hauling and an experimental
program Of lood-damage indem-
mites should be undertaken. The
administration will make recon-
mendations on these subjects.

Sees Balanced Budget
The strong expansion of the
economy, coupled with a con-
Istant care for efficiency in Gov
|ernment operations and an alert
guard against waste and dupli-
cation, has brought us to a pros
Ipective balance between income
and expenditure. This is being
done while we continue to
strengthen our military security.
! expect the budget to be in
balance during the fiscal year
lending June 80, 1856.

budget for the next fiscal year
ending June 30, 1857.
But the balance we are seeking
cannot be accomplished without
the continuing everyday effort
Iof the executive and legislative
branches to keep expenditures
under control. 1t will also be
necessary to continue all of the
present excise taxes without any
reduction and the corporation

rates for another year beyond

Tense.
We have a broad and diversi-
fed mobilization base. We have

and knowledge rapidly to expand
the production of things we need
for our defense whenever they
are required. But mobilization

ity to meet new requirements.
am requesting. therefore, that
the Congress once again extend

OF great Importance to our Ma

alertness to internal subversive
