Senator Theodore Francis
Green. Democrat Of Rhode
Island, charged yesterday that
the Republican administration
is using the diplomatic service
as "a dumping ground for
individuals they wished to get
rid Of ct home"
The S9-year-old chairman
Of the Senate Foreign Rela-
tons Committee told the
Women's National Democratic
Club that he opposed q recent
candidate because I thought
the Administration has failed
in its responsibilities TO get
Americans to serve abroad who
can measure up to the heavy
world responsibilities Of the
day."
In The Record
The Senator did not make
q direct reference to the new
United States Ambassador to
Ireland Scott Mcleod. but his
record shows vigorous opposi-
ton to confirmation Of Mr..
McLeod's appointment both
in the Senate Foreign Rela-
tions Committee and on the

serve In high posts abroad
then 1t should certainly search
carefully to see II they can't
find those qualified women
who are competent. Failing
that" he added II say choose

Party because we have many

In his speech. the Senator
paid general tribute to wom-
ems interest in this Nations
foreign policy. He also hailed
the recognition that has been
given women in the foreign
service.

NEW YORK. July % (R.-
Stock market volume continued
to fall of early this afternoon

Price changes among key
stocks were kept generally
within the range of a point.
Meanwhile. there was little
to spur the market in news
such as a drop in second-quarter
earnings by Ford Motors and
Republic Steel, they added.
The edging-up of steel produc-
ton and the second-quarter
rise in national production to
a new record were items of a
more encouraging nature.
The market was slightly
ahead on balance as pivotal
rails and industrials gained
slightly on average while utili-
ties were of a bit.
Biggest feature of the session
was a sharp drop of more than
z points by Schering as the
popular drug issue reacted to
news from the firms board Of

about 8 points in later dealings.
This stock has had an en-
thusiastic run-up mainly based
on expectations that a stock
split would be announced today
but nothing of that sort oc-
Cured. The directors declared
a quarterly dividend of so cents,

Orthodox economists will tell
you at the drop of a mortar
board that supply and demand
eventually determine the price
Of any commodity or product.
Artificial controls, they say,
can only be temporary. Sooner
or later supply and demand
will assert themselves and the
market will set the price.
At the moment steel and
whisky seem to be violating
this law of economics.
There is ample justification
for the law. For instance, dur
ing the war the Government
attempted to freeze both prices
and wages. But it couldn't pre-
vent a black market. Some
economists, even in those fever
ish days, insisted that BLACK"
was faulty adjective; they
considered it a supply and
demand" market, as opposed
to the controlled" market. In

Steel and Whisky Defy
SuppIy-Demond Law

any event, the black market
was so important that the Gov
eminent itself, in calculating
the consumer price index, fig
ured in under : the counter
prices.
Lesson OF Discount Houses
More recently, discount houses
demonstrated that the law Of
supply and demand is stronger
than so-called fair-trade laws.
When the supply of a product
exceeds demand you can buy it
below the fixed price, no mat
ter how vigorously the manu.
facturer invokes fair trade"
laws.
During the war some govern
ment administrators sponsored
a cost of production" price
theory. This theory is that the
fair price should be the cost
OF production plus a modest
profit and-of course!-taxes.
There we're two reasons for
embracing this theory. 1t was
useful as a base in fixing con-
trolled prices; the Office of
Price Administration used it to
set prices for new products and
IN adjusting prices for old ones.
In addition, it pleased the
share the wealth" dreamers,
who were PRETTY thick around
washington in those days.
Steel Demand Lower
The persistence of the old
law of supply and demand
makes the present high steel
price more curious than ever
The steel industry, which de-
nounced the cost of produc-
ton price theory as socialistic
during the war. is now applying
1T to its own products. 1t raised
prices as production costs went
up with the last pay increase.
Steel supply-or at least the
potential supply-far exceeds
demand. Production, as Bush
ness Week points out. has
slipped down to 81 per cent
OF capacity. Many mills are
on a four-day week.
At the same time, we find
that whisky supplies have
never been greater than they
are now, nor have legal prices
ever been so high. They were
actually lower in many places
during prohibitionl
Here both costs of produce
ton and taxes are factors.
Production costs have been
pushed up by higher wages.
although the costs of grain
are down. The taxes have
been high-S1O.50 a proof gall
lon-for two years.
In other fields, many prices
have obeyed the law of supply
and demand. Petroleum, cop
per, lead. zinc and textiles have
declined in price as demand
fell under supply.
1t will be interesting TO watch
the steel and whisky price
trends to see If there are i'm
portant exceptions to that old
law.

WHOM The GODS
WOULD DESTROY,

WHEN Governor Faubus start
w ed his inane insurrection
against the United States gov
eernment, it is evident that he
had visions of becoming a leader
in the South's rebellion, and set
ting an example for other reac-
tionary, pompous bigots to fol-
low. In doing this he has out
done the infamous Vardaman
and Tillman who belong to an
other era. Their only claim to
fame is their hatred and public
blasts against Negroes.
His obvious untruths, under
hand conniVance and sulbterfuge
are now taking all but his most
rabid supporters from him and
in desperation he sinks to the
level of his latest and most re-
voting attack-his charge that
soldiers are remaining or going
into the dressing rooms of the
the Negro girls while they are
changing clothes.
