FINANCES AND THE FIFTIEs

Looking back over the past decade-the
fifties-economists have come up with some
interesting studies. Among other things, they
found we spent more money in the fifties
than we did in the forties.
That is, the u. S. Government spent more
money in the fifties, in its annual budget,
than it did in the 1940's, which included all
of World War III.
Moreover, the national debt was increas-
ed considerably in the period, until in 1859
it was about to top 1920, 900, ,000, ,000-or very
close to the 100000, 100000 mark.
And while there is again talk, in this cleo
tion year, of having a nicely balanced budget
next year, and putting some money into
reduction of the national debt, such talk is
often heard in presidential election years.
Seldom is this done, and even though the
Eisenhower Administration was elected part
ly on an economic and sound fiscal policy
platform, last years budget featured whop-
ping $12,00O,000,00O deficit. present fore
casts are for slight surplus in this years
budget, of about $200,0O0,000.)
While 1860 is expected to be prosperous
year, no one can hide the fact that the inaa-
tionary spiral in the past decade has wiped
out savings orsreduced them seriously for
millions of Americans. No one can hide the
fact that our dollar has become worth less
and less. And no one can hide the fact that
the drain on our dollar reserves has begun,
and has sucked some S4,OOO,OOO,OOO out of
the country in recent years.
Every American, therefore, should i'm
press upon his elected representatives in the
Senate and the House of Representatives the
seriousness with which he views our recent
extravaganza and waste Unless Americans,
acting jointly, exert restraining influence
on government, the country's security and
financial stability is-defnitely endangered in
the sixties bV the DOSSibilitV of a continual
tion of fiscal policies followed in the 1950'S.

AGING IN OFFICE

speaker Dam hayDufD, VINO mas JuSC Gel
ebrated his 18th birthday, has ruled the
House of Representatives for 16 years. That
is six more than were served by the previous
record-holding speaker, Henry Clay. Every
day that Rayburn continues in office makes it
harder for any future speaker to catch up
with his record.
1t would be picayune to suggest that this
is among Rayburn's main reasons for cling
ing to this influential Office. Yet is there not
a most human temptation to continue, even
after his physical and mental powers have
noticeably waned, for the sake of extending
the record? The question is raised with no
intention of casting aspersions on a man who
has rendered able service for long time.
Washington correspondents report that
Rayburn is rather more iraScible than form
erly. He may also be a victim of another
mental condition harder to perceive, a set
ness in his ways of thinking and tendency
to reject new ideas because of their novelty.
There would be nothing unusual in this;
many old people suffer what might be called
a hardening of the mental arteries.
Senator Theodore F. Green of Rhode Is
land is, at 92, the oldest member of Con-
gress on record He has been regarded for
years as remarkably vigorous old man, but
even he recognized advancing age awhile
back by giving up the Craftsmanship of the
Senate foreign relations committee. And now
he has decided not to run again. Few men in
public life can make such decisions when in
their COS, but others 10 or Is years younger
might well consider Senator Green's ex-
ample.

the Commemorative Attorneys
office recommended. Judge Paul
D. Brown noted that Virginia
has accelerated a campaign to
halt illegal import of alcoholic
beverages.
He said that penalties might
be light during the first few
weeks, but that they would not
remain so.
State law permits confisea-
ton OF a car bringing more
than one gallon of alcoholic

ment agencies are trying to

Tax increases last month

would spur purchases by Vir-
ginians in the District.
