Royal Engagement

DRINCESS Margaret, only sister of
Queen Elizabeth II, is to marry
Anthony Armstrong; ones. Jones is a
professional photographer.
Princess Margaret is now twenty
nine years old, and her marriage to
a commoner is good for all concerned,
since speculation has been rife con-
corning her beaus in the last decade,
and a goodly number of British sub
jects have felt that she was somewhat
penalized when her romance with a
World War II hero, a divorce, was
stifled from above. Also, it is a good
public relations development for a
commoner to win the hand of mem
Der of the Royal Family.
While Jones is hailed as com
moner, he is the son of a Countess
and, actually, occupied a place in
British society. He will most probably
be made an Earl. 1t is also under
stood that he will abandon profession
al photography.

cess in Margaret's position to find a

Babson Says: Let's Not Fool Ourselves

Babson Park, Mass, Mar. 3.
My associate John Henry, Edi-
tor of our Washington Forecast,
feels strongly that the Aneri-
can people are fooling them
selves by overconfidence in the
Federal Reserve Board they
believe that by some magic our
nation can avoid further de-
pressions.
Money Management
Let me relay Mr.. Henry's
h-ughts. The notion has be-
come widespread that the cas-
ing and tightening Of money and
credit by the FRB can elimi-
"ate the dangerous hills n d
valleys in our economic pro-
gress thereby keeping in

his corcl"sion is supported by
~ecent history.
Since World War II, we have
had three business recessions-
1949-1954, and 1857. In each case,
the FRB fastened to curb the
decline by making money and
credit more plentiful and cheap
err. Conversely. the Fed restrict
ed money and credit whenever
spiraling initiation became a
threat.
Another Depression?
Although there has been a
tendency for each business de-
cline since the war to be a
little more severe than its pre-
decessor, none has been even
remotely comparable to those
of 1887 and earlier. However,
the Federal Reserve has been
given most Of the credit for
keeping these recssions mild
=. and for turning them into
periods of recovery.

we depend upon them too long.

Rid Of Starlings

IN our world or Standardization and
conformity, it is good to see that in
genuity is still alive. Certainly this is
the case with Otto Standke, u, of
Great Bend, Kansas. Anyone who has
ever noticed the problem caused in
any of our cities by starlings knows
what serious difficulties these birds
can cause for owners of buildings.
hotel owners, ETC. That is where Otto
Standke comes in. He is a self-styled
birdman, and carries around
double-locked box He never opens it
and shows anyone what is in it, but
he has successfully chased starlings
from a hundred buildings in towns all
over the country. And, he gets $1,000
building for doing it.
What is more, the birds do not come
back : and this is what the skeptics
have feared when they have heard about
Standke's bird-chasing ability. Standke
goes about his business quietly, and at
night, and he specifies that he must
work alone.
He usually spends about week doing
the job, and his method is still secret
today. 1t is thought, however, that the
box he carries contains pair Of metal
clappers, which he clashes like cymbals,
and set of miniature chimes, which he
plays.
While this may brighten the birds
away, it does not explain why the birds
do not return That is his secret. 1t is

Advancement of Colored People.
The myth" of course, hap
pens to be the basic fact Of the
Constitution.
Ralph swiped a sophistry.
And then he did a double
swipe. He pontificated that 1.-THE
much talked-of Tenth Amend
ment merely affirms the duties
assigned to the states - For
this there was a source though
he offered it as his own. Evi-
IDENTITY he had read the Cumber-
land University address Of
FlOrida's distinguished Attorney
Giles Patterson quoting words to
the same sneering effect about
the Tenth Amendment used by
Justice Stone in the case Of U. S.
Versus Darby for what Mr. Pat
terson described as the first time
in history. They are not likely
to be used again now that the
courts trend to centralism and
socialism is blessedly being re-
versed tas noted in five in
stances cited recently by Fifth
Circuit Judge Ben Cameron in
a majority opinion on a Fort
Worth casel.
Justice Stone went so far as
to call the Tenth Amendment
merely a truism that all is
retained which has not been sur
rendered nothing more than
declaratory Of the relationship
between the national and state
government. He said / h {
Founding Fathers meant to ere
ate a government adequate to
deal with every situation and
would have been surprised t
learn that the Constitution re
served a legislative field to the
states !"
MIR. PATTERSON cited this
as the extreme example of fed
eralism in Supreme Court de-
cisions during the New Deal and
the post-New Deal era. Even
those decisions generally paid
lip service to states rights and
dual sovereignty but Justice
Stone seems to have gone be
serk with federalism this time
Ralph offers the thought as his
own. The present court would
let him have it, I believe.
He has stolen a colossal
sophistry.
That noble reverberation you
hear is Henry Grady turning in
his grave.

ash caused cold fronts which move at

That is the position Of pro-

lowing them as they send the
colored youth of the South into
new and dangerous aggreSSions.
If they will turn around and

exemplary, restrained and fair
than the attitude of Southern
police authorities thus far
towards the obviously drilled and

down it will be with this record
of moderation behind them and
national sympathy won with
that record.
