WHO KNOWS?
Inventory

When wars get started like the
skirmish in the Middle East, who
knows just where the fault lies and
what steps should be taken?
1t has always appeared to us that
wars start over the most minor of
instances i'll the most obscure coun-
tries and then eventually all the
major nations get in the fight. And
that means that the United States
gets in late, usually with the mostest,
and winds up supplying one side with
about all its war materials and good
ly share of the fighting men too.
From the opening shot we have
been avidly against the U. S. partici-
pating III any shooting war over the
lSraei-kgypt squabble. Likewise, we
are opposed to the British and French
assuming such grave responsibility of
playing pcacemaker while shooting
away at the Egyptians
NithOut L. ). Foreign aid, Just
about everyone of the nations in the
shooting war would be begging for
food and supplies. None are major
world powers any longer. Indeed they
can scarcely survive without assist
ance. If they persist in fighting in
the face of IN objections, this coun-
try should refuse to ship a dimes
worth to either. Under such stringent
procedure, the war would not last
long.
The only hitch in the proposal is
the possibility that the Russians NAV
get involved with one side. In that
instance we will have little choice
but to get in ourselves with the British
ana French. But again, as in other
wars, these foreign trouble makers
Will have led us away from peace.
Veterans of World War III and the
Korean War remember too well. Thew
Know the hardships that were inyolv-
ed and they know that they might
again face enemy fire. 1t will take
some mighty convincing propaganda
to convince the American people that
there is any necessity for another war
now.

FOOT IN MOUTH

wrestling match held here over ago. The crowd
loved the performance. The attending the .
Jaycee meeting to learn whether not they wanted
to sponsor another all-girl match.
One member arrived late and didn't recognize the
wrestling manager. When the project discussion be-
gan, the late conner told the club he hoped the ali
girl match being proposed better than the one
held ago. He further commented that the first
show was lousy and not worth anything.
Before he went farther, another Jaycee quietly
remarked that the man visiting the club was the
same one who staged the match being described byI
the late conner.
Guess the moral of the story is that better never
sometimes than late"
The Nov. % all-girl wrestling match to be held
here promises to be the best of any staged thus far
Better get your advance ringsde ticket while a few
still available.

TRADE
WINDS
BY LOU SCHNEIDER

Not generally realized is that
closing of the Suez Canal is a
blow to American trade. Europe's
must" buying of Western Henri
sphere crude oil means fewer
dollars for other imports from
the United States.
Worse yet is that the European
dollar shortage will again become
la familiar cry. With postwar
plants there modernized, ship
mentS to the United States will
increase to earn dollars. The
increased competition will hurt
American manufacturers.
The lower year-end dividend
voted by the Du Pont directors
compared with last year, is dis
turbing investment managers
They believe it may be a tipofi
of how other important corporate
directors may act. Operating
costs are increasing while profits
are narrowing.
Some pessimism is evident in
the wearing appearl industries
Retail selling of autumn items
didn't move as expected. And
the international tension isn't
the cause. Some retailers say
the sales dip was due to manu-
facturers rushing the season.
Others say the public is buying
closer to needs in view of more
adequate supplies. But the sea-
son was bad. One Fifth Avenue
retailer is offering dresses of
small sizes for as low as SIS and
So. And the nationally known
retailers label goes with each
garment.
There's misconception about
the size of the home mortgage
total debt, winch is huge COM
pared with Is years ago. But
payments today, on a monthly
rent basis, liquidate the mort
gage. Years ago it was fixed
five to seven year obligation
with renewal subject to the will
OF the money lender.
Milk-industry spokesman en-

Three Major Questions
In Years Final Sprint

And the biggest question of
all: Will some trigger happy ma
ton start shooting?
There's little business men or
their customers can do about the
third one but wait and see how
international affairs work out.
But the first two find the con-
sumner in the middle.
/ On one hand he is being urged
by the banks and other financial
institutions to save more money
so that they will have more to
lend to expanding business and
thus end the tight money
squeeze.
On the other hand the indi-
vidual is being urged to spend
freely to keep all the consumer
goods industries and the mer-
chants happy. You have only to
look at the advertising in your
newspapers to see that a record
drive is on to coax dollars out Of
your pocket.
But on the other hand the
Guaranty Trust Co. of New York
in its December survey says
hopefully: Thrift has become
respectable again." 1t notes the
clamor Of industry for more
funds to finance it's grandiose
Expansion schemes and says that
only through savings can this
demand be met.
The pressing need for more
capital also runs like a thread
through all meetings this week
in Florida of the Investment
Bankers Association. Industries
saying they must have more
growth funds include steel
atomic energy, railroads, cleo
trio utilities.
The bank agrees. saying 1.-THE
economy appears to be facing a
period Of growth and expansion
as spontaneous and dynamic as
any that occurred in the past"
II cites the needs of a growing
population and the progress of
industrial technology in creating
more new products and also
whole new industries.

Hoover Plan La6S

Lack of vigorous action, economy-size on
the part of Congress and the Administration
is costing families in Noble county an
estimated $155,0OO year in needless taxes
The figure is based on the local level of
income, on previous tax payments and on
report prepared by the U. S. Chamber of
Commerce to show the financial savings that
would result from application of the Hoover
Commission proposals.
A growing feeling is apparent in the
average citizen that he is being deprived of
something. He has heard and read of the
work of the Hoover Commission, which
labored effectively for two years to deter
mine what improvements, if any, could be
made in the functioning of Federal bureaus
and activities.
The commission, he knows, studied
every phase of Government and came up
with many discoveries of strange and costly
wastefulness 1t eliminated it's work with
314 recommendations to Congress- If put into
The journal. (Caldwell, Ohio) 1934-1961, 1956-06-21

effect, according to the experts, they would
have saved the taxpayers over five billion
dollars year. Only small fraction of them
have been acted upon, however
Who would have benefited chiefly from
these efficiency measures, the people with
large incomes or those with modest earn
ings? The answer is the latter group. More
than IS percent of personal income tax
revenues come from people earning under
$4,000 a year.
In Noble county, it is estimated, the tax
saving would have come to $62 per family.
All told, it would have amounted to $155, 900.
This is real money that would have been
available to local families for actual spend
ing. 1t would have generated just that much
more business for the local stores and that
much better living for each family.
Pressure on Congress and the Govern
ment is generating from below to take action
on the Hoover Commission proposals now.
