* Nothing To
Worry About

Come About Sure
0 But Gradually
Editor's Note: (Roger Holt-

ed the 1929 stork Market
crash, forecasts in thr fol-
lowing; dispatch a gradual

WELLESLEY HILLS, Mass.,
Feb. 23, (UP)— People are again
feeling pinched for money.
Competition in most indus-
tries is beginning to become
troublesome. The supply lines
are getting clogged wilii goods.
The public has used up a large
portion of its war savings. With
many more concerns manufac
luring all kinds of products and
g with many more people will)
out available savings, unem-
ployment is sure lo increase.
Then the “vicious circle”
which caused the expansion is
bound to work in reverse. This
is due to Sir Isaac1 Newton’s
law of action and reaction which
is as fundamental in economics
as in chemistry or physics.
On the other han't, I do
not expert a sudden drop as
.....Hired in 1920-21, 1930-32
. and in I!I37. I lisle.id of i'all-
9 ing out of the 2<lth story
window we will walk down
slowly. This will he due to
new inventions, unemploy-
ment insurance, iiiiiiiiniim
wages, relaxed installment
regulations, and more liber-
al small loan operations, and
to our lightly organized la-
bor unions.
No artificial or other legisla-
tion cap prevent a red ana of
s depression fiotn sometime fol-
* lowing the abnormal price boom
which we have enjoyed the past
seven or eight years, but legis-
lation can change the shape of
such a depressive area. Legis-
lation can taper off the de-
cline.
lienee, Instead of saying
that a “crash’’ is Just ahead
of us, as I preached ill lf)2!l
when there was no “oxy-
gen" or other drugs avail-
aide in Washington, I now
say we have started to “walk
down stairs" and will not
reach the pavement until
1952 or 1953.
Penicillin and the sulfa drugs
will prolong the age of old peo-
ple, but they do not prevent
ultimate death. The business of
undertakers is temporarily
1 slowed up, but they sell exactly
the same number of coffins per
capita during every business
cycle.
There is nothing to worry
about now. Hoth the employ-
ment figures of the past few
years and the unemployment
figures now being published are
!K) pei- cent political estimates
and guesses put out by Wash-
ington.
Hut the business honeymoon
, is over and we should once
more realize that we cannot
loaf our way to prosperity. We
must give more time and labor
for a dollar of wages and pro-
fits.

Red Army Told U. S.
Plans Another War
MOSCOW, Feb. 23 (UP)—
The Soviet army was warned
on its 31st anniversary today
to “niaaintaiii permanent
combat readiness” because
(lie Untied States was plan-
ning lo unleash a new war.
The warning was issued by
Marshal A. A. Bulganin, minister
of armed forces, in an order of
the day.
The order requested Soviet
troops to “indefatigubly main-
tain a permanent high quality of
combat readiness.”
This was necessary, Bulganin
said, because, while the Soviet
people engage in peaceful crea-
tive labor, “the ruling circles of
the United States” plan for war.
"The lessons of the German
and Japanese aggressors, who
also tried tto dominate the world,
haven’t taught them anything.
The criminal plans of the newly
appeared aggressors claiming
world hegemony are doomed to
disgraceful failure.”
Marshal Leonid Govorov, writ-
ing in the government paper Iz-
vestia, said international tension
dictates an intensified strength-
ening of the defense might of the
Soviet Union.
Govorov slated the Soviet
army possesses “new nrms
much superior lo the best of
foreign models."
Morrow Is Slapped
By Stale Committee
As Reports Studied
AUSTIN, Tex,, Feb. 23 (UP)
—A financial report dealing a
slap at National Committeeman
Wright Morrow met opposition
before the State Democratic
Executive Commit lee today.
Everett Looney, Austin attor-
ney, said that the committee
could “condemn, burn or hand
in effigy” the national commit-
teeman, hut urged that the issue
be met “squarely” and not "in-
directly.”
He objected to a report on
money-raising activities by
Treasurer Walter G. Hall of
Dickinson.
The report said “it was evi-
dent that the overwhelming
majority of the committee pre-
ferred to raise such funds as
the state Democratic party
might need by means in no way
associated with the Honorable
Wright Morrow."

School Bill
k
Debate Opens
Revamping Plans
Meet With Fierce
Filibuster Move
AUSTIN, Tex., Feb. 23,
(UP)— Legislation lo re-
vamp the school systems of
Texas struck a stonewall of
opposition today, toning a
recess of the Senate until
later this afternoon.
Sen. Rogers Kelley of Edin-
burg, leader of the opposition
which attempted to filibuster to
death the first of three educa-
tion bills Iasi week, led the at-
tack.
The measure, a keystone Dill
of the (iihner-Aikin education
proposals, would set up a mini-
mum foundation program of
educational services.
Earlier, the Senate swept
clean its legislative decks by ap-
proving emergency pay raises
for state employes.
Kelley lashed out at the edu-
cational measure and charged
that schools in his district “will
he gutted under the terms of
this hill.”
The Senator from Edinburg
centered his attack on regula-
tions setting up the number of
teachers for any one school.
The average yearly student at-
tendance would determine the
number of teachers.
. But Kelley claimed that his
district hail “thousands” of mi-
gratory families and said that
such a formula would work in-
justice.
He proposed an amendment
which would figure the average
attendance on the fourth, fifth
and sixth months of the school
term in cases where attendance
in those months increased as
much as 20 per cent over at-
tendance in the first month.
Three Senators To
Stale Proposed By
Chairman McGrath
TOPEKA, Kan., Feb. 23 (UP)
The United States today needs
three seantors from every state,
instead of the present two, to
handle the heavy load of con-
gressional work, according to
National Democratic Chairman
J. Howard McGrath.
McGrath, a Rhode Island sen-
ator, told a Kansas Washington
Day Democratic gathering last
night that he would introduce
a hill "shortly” to amend the
constitution and create a third
senatorial seat for each state.
He said more senators would
he able to accomplish "a much
greater volume of work ”
Old Age Plan
May Reach To
New Divisions
WASHINGTON, Feb. 23 (UP)
A top-ranking member of the
House Ways and Means Com-
mittee predicted today that con-
gress will extend the govern-
ment's old-age pension program
to include those who own their
own business.
But he said he does not be-
lieve it would be practical to
have the program take in farm
workers and domestic servants.
Under the present social se-
curity law, the self-employed
doctors, lawyers and those who
own businesses—are not cover-
ed by the old age and survivors
insurance program.
President Truman early this
week urged congress to inlude
the self-employed in the pro-
gram as part of a sweeping re-
vision in the whole social secur-
ity structure.
The president’s program was
presented in two parts. One
called for liberalizing benefits,
extending coverage and adding
disability insurance to the exist-
ing old-age retirement and sur-
vivors insurance. The other rec-
ommended broadening the sys-
tem of federal grants to the
states to help states programs
for all needy persons, regardless
of age.
The ways and means commit-
tee will begin hearings on Mr.
Truman’s proposals Monday.
In Philadelphia, meanwhile,
Sen. Robert A. Taft, R., O., said
that, if enacted, the president's
program would mean a “com-
plete welfare state.” He said it
would go far toward establish-
ing in this country Great Brit-
ain’s “Beveridge plan of govern-
ment subsidy from the cradle to
the grave.”
The Senate Labor committee
planned to wind up its hearings
on the administration’s new
labor bill before nightfall. As
the hearings neared a close, coal
interests urged the committee to
retain the Taft-IIartley Act’s
provision which enables the gov-
ernment to seek 80-day anti-
strike injunctions in disputes in-
volving the national welfare.
There is no such authorization
;n the administration bill.
HE GETS TIIE BUSINESS—Following a serious speech ad-
vocating preparedness for the nation's armed forces. Gen-
eral Hoyt Vandenhcrg. Air Force Chief of Staff, got the
“business” from his Dallas, Texas, hosts. The General was
made ail honorary citizen of Dallas and Dallas County; an
ally he was sworn in as a bonafide deputy sheriff. Here,

wearing the fruits of his labors the General brandishes a six-

Wallace Again Calls Upon
Truman To Talk To Sfalin
WASHINGTON, Feb. 23,
(CP)— Henry Wallace saiit
today the proposed North
Atlantic Security Part would
bankrupt (bis country and
might destroy (lie United
Nations,
lie also forecast failure for
the European Recovery Plan. He
said America’s "aggressive ges-
tures" against the Soviet Union
invite war.
Wallace, progresssive party
Presidential candidate who fail-
ed to get a single electoral vote,
aired his opposition to present
foreign policy in testimony pre-
pared for the House Foreign Af-
fairs Committee.
Wallace said the Marshall
Plan is rebuilding Germany
while failing to revive western
Europe, lie said it is not an eco-
nomical plan but a political tool
in the colil war.
This is proven, he said, by the
proposed North Atlantic Mili-
tary Pact—a "most far-reaching
ami dangerous step.”
“The lend-lease program
means that we are going to arm
western Europe and establish
military bases around the peri-
phery of the Soviet Union, front
Norway to Turkey. These moves
invite a war which no nation can
win. .
Wallace renewed his plea to
President Truman, who ousted
him from his cabinet, to talk
peace terms face-to-face with
Premier Josef Stalin.
"At least three times in the
past year, alone, we have coldly
rejected Soivet offers to talk
peace,” asserted the former Vice
President and long-time cabinet
member.
"In the face of this stubborn
refusal to formulate our over-all
demands and discuss them with
the Russians, the new military
measures which we now propose
can only he interpreted by Rus-
sia as a demand for uncondi-
tional surrender.
