Provocative Disclosures
Some Of the disclosures o.
this study may jolt you-anc
all of them should make yol
ponder. For:
More than one-third Of thu
girls and almost one-quarter d
the boys favor Government
control of nine basic industries
and services which are now pri'
vately owned. More than hal
the girls think the Government
should run our banks; more
than half Of all of them thinl
the uranium industry should Dt
Government controlled. AL
most one-fourth believe in Gov
eernment ownership of the Goa
industry and a third of the girl!
feel the same way about steel.
An overwhelmingly majority
think 1t is an advantage, not a
disadvantage, to belong to a
labor union.
Close to one-third of the
teen-agers would like to earn
their living working for a large
company" and another impress
sive percentage would like to
work for some branch of the
Federal, State or local govern
ment.
About twice as many boys
and one-third more girls think
big business is making a greater
contribution to our welfare
than small business.
Only 10 per cent Of the boys
and only 5 per cent Of the girls
are dreaming the American
dream Of having my own bust

Perhaps these youngsters will
shift their views as they hi

working force-but don't foo
yourself Their attitudes al

shaped. And If this is the way
they'll be thinking and voting
these conclusions become in
escapable:
Big unions will get bigger
and bigger. The scandals black
ening the union movement to-
day will not interrupt the march
toward unionization of the vast
majority of blue-collar and
white-collar American workers
Big business will get bigger

are making the greatest con-
tribution to our welfare. anti

Deficit Spending

The chief accountant of the
State Budget Commission, Mrs.
Lillian l. Martin, last week eau
toned against the spending of
large and unusual tax "windfalls"
and urged passage of a eenstitu-
tional amendment whereby the
governor and state fiscal officers
would have the authority to use
such unanticipated income solely
for capital improvements or debt
reduction.
Comparing Delaware to a fam
lily which lis living beyond its in
come and borrowing on future
earnings to construct facilities
that are needed now," Mrs. Mar
tin told members of the First Rep
resentative District Republican
Club, at meeting in the Grange
Hall, here, that much of the $11,-
100000 cash balance in the Cen
eral Fund at end of fiscal year,
June 80, 1856, came from two
large inheritance tax "windfails"
and did not actually represent sur

There is a resolution in the

without paying union dues.
Milk control, dog racing, COM

There is not a member on either
chamber who does nol readily pro-
fess an eagerness to end this part
of the 18th. But cole ctively, the
will does not exist.
Entering the formula for delay
is the continuing antipathy be-
tween the House and the Senate.
Each branch blames the other for
passing bills merely to get the re-
sponsibility shifted.
The state police pay raise is an
example. So is the milk price con-
