But the question, "Who fights initiation 2"
remains unanswered. The Federal Reserve
Board has done more than anybody. is
tighter money policy has applied one type
Of brake But it has drawn sharp opposi-
ton, and economists agree that it cannot
do the whole job.
An additional federal brake could be APP
piled by cutting government spending and
plling up big Treasury surplus. This the
administration is not prepared to do IN
stead, it has offered record peacetime
budget. at the same time urging Congress

far easier to hold down the budget at the
primary stage and quite unreasonable for
the executive department to recommend
expenditures and then invite Congress to
veto them.
Who, then will fight initiation? The Pre-
sident has urged the public to take a hand.
For years economists have been predicting
a jolting buyers strike" Consumer resist
ance would certainly slow down price rises
IN many lines. The Federal Reserve believes
prices are beginning to evoke such resist
ance and that this rather than tight money
is causing some Of the showdown" Of which
ITS critics complain.
Government has many more tools to COM
bat deflation than inflation-and finds it
politically far easier to use them. 1t can
reasonably be asked for more anti-inflation
leadership. But the public will probably

nR Davis Y Paschall has been appointed
~ SUPERINTENDENT Of public instruction by
Governor Stanley. He succeeds the late DR.
DoWell Howard. DR.. Paschall has served
with the department of public instruction
as supervisor and director of elementary
education associate director Of instruction
and more recently director Of teacher edu-

had an excellent background to direct the
future state program.
We understand that DIR. Paschall IS
strong advocate Of the fundamentals of ele-
mentary education, what has been known
as the three Rs, readin', 'riting and 'rithme-

the Virginia school system will develop the
real fundamental Of education, namely be-

fewer than half of 108,000000 Ameri-
cans in the age group which can profit
most from the Salk polio vaccine have been
vaccinated This means that nearly 10000
600 doses Of the vaccine are now unused
and available for those who want to take
advantage Of the anti-polio serum.
Because some people have not utilized
the serum at least two firms have cut back
production and there is some doubt as to
whether the supplies on hand will be used
up quickly Since this is the time Of the
year to begin thinking about vaccinations
in 1857. we would point out to all parents
and all those in the age bracket where
serums are advisable that the serum has
been generally successful, III spite of the
sensational and highly pubHc2ed mistakes
at the beginning of its use.

Editorial From Christian Science Monitor (Boston)
Inflation You Fight It

THE report Of the Presidents economic
advisers has been receiving more than
usual attention For it repeats his State Of
the Union warning Of Initiation and gives
reasons for it. The public should take heed.
So should the government

minds us of the habitual "coat-holder' s"
easy belligerence; Lets YOU and hlm
fight" Everybody recognizes that ntla-
ton must be fought, but everybody prefers
to Let George do it. The President made
4 special appeal to labor and employers,
poin ing out that the old wage-price spiral
is a major problem and not within reach

a good deal Of attention was focused on
this process at the time of last years steel
strike Settlement was b a n d by a
wage increase Immediately passed on to
consumers in higher steel prices The pat
tern has become familiar in recent years
Steel was notably chiefly because it tends
TO set the pace for other industries. Will
this process be halted by the Presidents
eXhortation? Few observers believe so.
Workers don't resist higher prices very
strenuously 50 long as they can get wage
hikes. Employers don't fight very hard to
hold the line on wages while the cost can be
passed along in boosted prices. OF course
many small employer finds he can't keep
pace and many consumer on fixed in

Who Is in Charge Here7

Consider some Of the many
bosses OF the human race. One
authority whose voice is loud in
the land is the Voice of the
People. Some politicians live bv
it. A politician will split the Welk-
in telling the world what a low
grade rat his opponent is: but
then the opponent beats him in
the primary, and the politician
sings another tune The people
have spoken, he SAYS: and turns
around TO support the very man
who (he had just been saying
was hardly fit to be dog-catcher.
Others again regard the law as
the highest command In their
eyes. law can turn right into
wrong or wrong into right But
the law is a human thing; any
good lawyer will admit that there
is a gap between what the law
commands or permits. and what
is morally right Law tries to
catch up with morals; il never
creates right or wrong

Farm Boys, Then And Now

In boyhood days life on the form
Seemed to me an endless chore
To all form boys when home from school
A little otter four.
We oil hod toiIsome tosks to do
hot nightly we'd repeot:
But now it seems the Jobs we did
Are almost obsolete.
The woodshed that we had back then
Scene of orduous toll,
Has given poce to heating piants
Fed from tonk Of oil.
Book then we had to walk behind
And hold and guide pillow;
But on troctor formers ride
When they do blowing now.
No voter pals they have to tote,
No frozen pumps to thow;
No kitchen range that cots up wood
In its lnsotote nav
Today there ore no porlor stoves
With bellies like O pot
To gobble up the wood you cut
As fost os it is brought.
A school bus picks up kids for school
In front Of their own cote;
They do not daily as did.
And seldom ore they late.
Back home, they get their homework done,
Then for O while they're free
To pIoy outdoors while ond then
Come in and wotch 7, Y
But even 50, I'd like to 90
Back to those days once more
And be boy filled with the 10y
felt between each chore.

Jesus, Lord OF All

For the Christian, however. his
highest command is that Of Jesus
Christ The vows taken when a
person is confirmed. or joins the
church. profess. sometimes in
these very words. Il take Jesus
Christ for my Lord and Savior I
For my Lord II the word
means what it was intended TO
mean, it means that above all other
authorities is His All these other
commands have their places; but
his is supreme. In a great corpora
ton there are many persons with
authority; but only one President.
No decision at lower levels is
valid if it conflicts with a policy
the President has laid down. So
there are situations where the mon
ey question is decisive There are
other situat tons in which a poll
teal party's decision, slate or
platform may be decisive for the
party worker. and so on But
if decisions on these lower levels
come into conflict with what we
may call the policy of Jesus, then
those lower decisions must give
way. In Jesus lifetime He chal-
lenged every authority that con-
fronted him He was responsive TO
authority within proper bounds
cas- when He paid taxes or when
placed on oath in triaD but even
over the church, even over the
inspired Law, He claimed first
right The sensible Christian does
not claim for Jesus what he did
not claim for himself. He did
not set up to be an authority on
forms OF government. financial
affairs or farming But He did lay
down certain great principles
founded in the will and nature Of
the heavenly Father.
