making of insured home loans to
veterans by PRIVATE LENDING IN-
STITUTIONS under the terms of the
GI Bill of Rights. These are cases
where the Veterans’ Administration
guarantees an equity loan not to ex-

loan, which must comply with FHA
regulations, is insured by the FHA.

HAVE YOU been lying awake at
night worrying? The Lamar County
Echo advises those who have been
disturbed about the prediction of “run-
away prices following the close of the
war should find some consolation in
the announcement that Henry Ford in-
tends to make a post-war automobile
to sell for 30 per cent less than the
present retail price—this is not an
advertisement.
Lamar County Echo asks a question
the Legislature will be called on to
answer, saying “The Federal Socia*
Security Board has recommended that
the Texas Legislature at its next ses-
sion ‘liberalize’ the present laws gov-
erning the distribution of pensions in
fhis state. The agency would raise
the unemployment payments to $2b
per week. This means, in plain lan-
guage, that a person could draw $25
a week for doing absolutely nothing.”
Then the Echo asks, “Who would want
to find a job under such conditions?”

THE PRIMARY incentive for pur-
chase of war bonds it the current
Sixth War Loan Drive is the praise-
worthy DESIRE of civilians TO BACK
THE ATTACK in Europe and the Pa-
cific and to HASTEN THE TIME OF
VICTORY. In final analysis, the
American people put their dollars in
the place' where their hearts lie.
A SECONDARY inducement for buy-
ing bonds—as many as we can affora
—is their TWO-FOLD VALUE to the
purchasers. Nine billion dollars in
circulation is a powerful INFLATION-
ARY force, and to the extent that
this money is INVESTED in war
bonds, a corresponding RESTRAINT
will be imposed on price rises. It is
FOOLISH for the people to EXPECT
that the GOVERNMENT ALONE
CAN CONTROL PRICES: the PEO-
PLE alike must serve the cause of
economic stabilization by DIVERTING
as much buying power as possible
from the consumer market into war
bonds. Our immediate problem is
helping ourselves.
The other value of v<ar bonds lies
in their being interest-bearing invest-
ment for the postwar period. There
is so much talk, much of it irresponsi-
ble and improper, about the “hard
times” of the reconversion period.
The BEST INSURANCE AGAINST
that possibility is SAVINGS IN WAR
BONDS. However, an exaggerated
pessimism can easily be aroused to-
ward the postwar period.
When I have lost my tempeYzI have
lost my reason, too.
I’m never proud of anything which
angrily I do.
When I have talked in anger and my
cheeks were flaming red,
I have always uttered something
which I wish I hadn’t said.
In anger I have never done a kindly
deed or wise,
But many things for which I felt I
should apologize.
In looking back across my life, and all
I’ve lost or made,
I can’t recall a single time when fury
ever paid.
So I struggle to be patient, for I’ve
reached a wiser age;
I do not want to do a thing or speak
a word in rage.
I have learned by sad experience that
when my temper flies
I never do a worthy thing, a decent
deed or wise.

Some of the loyal partisans of Pres-
ident Rainey in the affair between
him and the University regents have
made assertions, or expressed opin-
ions, that Governor Stevenson is to
be blamed because of the men lie has
appointed to be members of the board,
notwithstanding these men are reput-
able citizens, whose qualifications
were examined by the Texas Senate
before they were confirmed.
The Governor has been able to an-
swer these criticisms with a plain
statement that the individuals were
appointed with the BEST RECOM-
MENDATIONS FROM DISINTER-
ESTED PERSONS and that influences
alleged by his critics to have moved
him to appoint them did not exist, so
far as his knowledge or use of such
influences was concerned.
Some of the criticism comes from
persons who have political ambition,
and who hope to help their cause by
holding the Governor up to the peo
pie as a chief executive who used his
office to the advantage of himself
politically. They apparently think
the Governor ought to take a hand in
EVERYTHING THAT COMES UP LN
TEXAS, whether it be under his po-
sition . as Governor or not. That is
what some other Governors have-
done, and always MADE A BAD MAT-
TER WORSE, especially if it were
something concerning the University.
The trouble between the President
and the regents was summarized by
Dr. Burine, vice president of the Uni-
versity, as being based on Dr. Rainey’s
POSITIVE VIEW and the regents’
NEGATIVE view of what a great uni-
versity should be. Dr. Burdine admits
that in a controversy never is either
side ALTOGETHER right or wrong,
but he believes that Dr. Rainey’s posi-
tive attitude is the ONE BEST CAL-
CULATED to do the work. None of
this gives basis for blaming Governor
Stevenson., says the News and the
Examiner would put in its little shovel
and call attention to the fact that the
governor is following a very wise rule
of “just saying nothing” or as little
as possible.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 21—The Ar-
my Service Forces, the “iron link be-
tween industrial America and her
fighting man,” shipped 40,000,000 tons
or cargo co war in tne last fiscal year.
At the same time 2,600,000 passen-
gers, largely troops, were sent over-
seas. Lt. Gen. Brehon Somervell,
commander of the ASF, said Monday
in his report for the year ending last
June.
The 40,000,000 tons shipped in the
last fiscal year compared with 19,000,-
000 for the previous year and the
2,000,000 passengers with a total of
1,200,000 in 1943.
Moreover, Somervell said, the ASF
is only one of several agencies
through which the total of American
war production is transmitted to
American and Allied fighting forces.
60 Per Cent to Europe
The European theaters received
about 60 per cent of all Army cargo
in the last year, the Pacific 40 per
cent. About 70 per cent of all soldiers
across the Pacific.
Gasoline and oil made up about
half of all cargo shipped overseas. In
July, 1943, about 160 cargo ships werer
needed to provide the needs of forces V
overseas, but a year later 300 ships "
were required.
Of $98-billion spent for the war in
the fiscal year, Army expenditures
amounted to $52-billion with ASF
spending $39-billion and Army Air
Forces $13-billion.
Trucks For Russia
While meeting the supply needs ot
American armies, ASF also furnished
“enormous quantities”—$5,400,000,000
worth—to the United Kingdom and
“completely equipped and continued to
supply a large French army,” Somer-
vell said.
Russia alone was sent 115,000 trucks
and 8,000 combat vehicles, including
2,000 tanks, a total of $1,500,000,000
(billion) worth of material. The Unit-
ed Kingdom received 62 per cent of
all lend-lease military supplies, Rus-
sia one-quarter.
Somervell said that while notable
progress has been made in production
and distribution of supplies, the swift-
ly changing needs of war and expand-
ing operations have caused shortages
in the field, including heavy artillery
and its ammunition, trucks, tires and
tractors.

POOR old Albert Fall the “goat” ot
the Harding administration has gone
to rest at last after many years of
ill health and after virtually all his
fortune was swept away. He died last
Thursday. He was secretary of the
Interior and was convicted of receiv-
ing a bribe of $100,000 from Dohoney, clique of racketeers in charge to force
the big oil king who was interested in
getting possession of the Elk Hills
Naval Oil reserve. He was 83 years
of age.
Mrs. Fall, who operated a cafe in
El Paso and a general store at Three
Rivers to provide money for the fam-
ily. was with her husband when he
died.
While in Harding’s cabinet, Fall
signed the Teapot Dome and Elk Hills
oil leases, which Congress later can-
celed. He was troubled to the end
of his days by the bitter legal light
to retain the Tres Ritos ranch near
Three Rivers, N. M., which had been
his home for many years. “Crime
does not pay” whether it be the slay-
ing or robbing of one’s fellowman.
CHICAGO, Dec. 1—Modern types of
matches soon will join cigarets among
the wartime shortages, officials of the
Diamond Match Company reported
Thursday at the company’s annual
sales meeting in Chicago.
They said that probably 90 percent
of penny box safety matches and 25
percent of the production of paper
book matches will be earmarked for
the military services and that this
winter will witness the return of the
old-fashioned kitchen match to gen-
eral use.
In wartime the making of decisions
is easy. “If it won’t help the war ef-
fort, don’t do it.” All that is needed
is a single-track mind to make the na
tion move as one toward the common
goal—DEFEAT of the ENEMY.
But as peace nears—not close
enough so that we know it lies beyond
the turn in the road, there is much
questioning of what we must do
NEXT. How may we rqslove upon the
right decision?
We can reach a solution by revert-
ing to the basic truths. We who have
been schooled in freedom, have also
been schooled in responsibility. Not
like the slaves of a dictator, whose
every act is determined for them; not
like the “master-race” trained for gen-
rations to take their cue from the
lords of war, do we act. From our
first school days we have been train-
ed to expect to do our duty, to give
our word, and keep it, to sacrifice
ourselves for an ideal, not of glory
but of honor.
Think over our heroes. Washing-
ton, Jefferson, Lincoln, Lee, and the
rest. Then compare them with the
heroes of those who fight against us.
The DIFFERENCE between the New
World and the Old was NEVER
MORE MARKED than in its choice of
those whom each deigns to honor.
We know what is right. As John
Oxenham phrased it:
“No shadow falls, but there, behind it,
stands the Light.
Behind the wrongs and sorrows of
life’s troublous ways,
Stands Right.
What we have to do is, just as with
a radio, TUNE in to what we know to
be the RIGHT, the FAIR, the JUST
thing to do.
We say we are REALISTS in this
war, as compared to IDEALISTS in
the last war. But, stop and think.
Last war we fought to “make the
world SAFE FOR DEMOCRACY”—
in short to protect our own way of life.
This war we have fought for the
FOUR FREEDOMS FOR EVERYONE
all over the world, regardless of
class, creed or color.
The torch we dropped after we
seemed to make secure our way of
life, we have had to pick up. We have
learned at last that it cannot light
our path clearly UNLESS it is HELD
HIGH ENOUGH to light our neigh-
bors’ way as well. WE KNOW NOW
WHAT WE HAVE TO DO.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 1—The House
Ways and Means Committee Thurs-
day- voted 17 to 7 to “freeze” the So-
cial Security tax, which otherwise
would double automatically January 1.
Nine committee Republicans voted
solidly, and were joined by eight Dem-
ocrats in delivering this rebuff to an
administration plea that the tax be
allowed to rise, as provided in the
basic security law.
The committee action sent the is-
sue to the full House, and raised the
possibility of a session-end veto fight
should House and Senate agree with
the ways and means majority.
Some Democrats favoring
•‘freeze’’ predicted that Roosevelt will
win, seeing little prospect of the nec
essary two-thirds vote in both Houses
to over-ride a veto.
This would mean that a month
hence tne security tax will be BOOST-
ED from 1 to 2 per cent—the WAGE
AND SALARY MAN PAYING TO
THE SECURITY FUND $2 for each
$100 he earns, as against the present
rate of $1 for each $100, and the em-
ployer boosting from $1 to $2 the
amount he contributes on the basis
of each $100 of his payroll.
Hon. Jas. M. Muse visited the Ex-
aminer office and left the following
notice that The Examiner is sure will
interest our readers. The time has
come for the development of all the re-
sources of our great county. The clay
deposits are extensive and it is honed
will prove to be just what is needed
at this time. Mr. Muse’s notice fol-
lows:
To the Farmers of Collin County:
Mr. F. K. Pence, an expert on clay,
who is connected with the University
of Texas, has written me that he wish-
es to examine the clay beds in Collin
County right soon, to determine
whether they are suitable for making
tile, brick and other clay products.
He hopes to make this trip to Collin
County sometime between now and
Jan. 1st.
I hope he makes a comprehensive
survey of the clay deposits in Collin
County, and that it may result in the
discovery of a new source of income
for Collin county farmers. Since 1
resigned as Court Reporter, I have
some spare time; so I volunteered to
help him locate these clay beds, as
a “thankee” job.
I have a general idea of where they
are most likely to be found, and where
some of the clay beds are, but not so
many. You may have valuable clay on
our land, and I not know anything
about it. If you have clay I would ap-
preciate it very much if you would
either tell me about it, or write me a
card as soon as possible, giving the
exact'location of your farm, and your
name and address.
Very truly,
JAMES M. MUSE,

(By Joseph C. Harsh)
One of the oldest phenomena of
Europe is the extraordinary recuper-
ative power of the French nation.
Many times since Rome first opened
up Gaul, the people who live between
the Rhine and the Atlantic and be-
tween the Pyrenees and the English
Channel have been counted out.
They have been conquered and they
have exhausted themselves and they
have been relegated by the outside
world to a minor role in the world’s
future. That periodic discounting of
France as a world factor was again
the fashion from the military collapse
of 1940 until very recent months. It
has again been proved COMPLETELY
WRONG.
The fact is that today France has
suddenly shown itself a major factor-
in the formation of the new Europe in
spite of the nearly three millions of
her men who are still prisoners or
forced labor in Germany. That is an
almost crushing weakness. Yet ob-
servers in France and returning from
there are today in agreement that the
France which progressed from its
greatest victory in 1918 to weakness
has somehow progressed from its de-
feat of 1940 to a new vitality and
strength.
The external actions of France dur-
ing the past two or three weeks are
a profound confirmation of this judg-
ment. Washington has watched these
events with deep interest and has
come to the conclusion that the esti-
mates of a year ago can be safely re-
jected and a strong France accepted
in the calculations of the future.
To say that this is a revolution in
American official attitude is to state
it mildly. White House and State Det
partment policy up to even less than
a year ago regarded France more of
less as the problem child of the Allied
cause. There -was even a time when
the taking over of military bases
throughout the French Empire by
British and American forces was re-,
garded as probably necessary to the
security of the postwar world. Such
discussion has now disappeared for
the simple reason that France has
shown both power and an increasingly
wise use of that power.
The actual military power of the
moment is not great, but the reason
is lack of equipment and supplies, not
will or skill. Where French units
have been armed adequately for mod-
ern war they have now proved them-
selves superlatively. The drive to
Strasbourg this week is one of the
more skillful and successful Allied op-
erations on the western front.
GOV. COKE Stevenson comes squar-
ly out in opposition to the British Oil
Treaty. We do not know anything
about it but what we read in the pa-
pers. But we are glad Gov. Steven-
son is opposed to it. He may be wrong
in his position. But we hope our coun-
try does not sign everything that is
put up to it with request to “sign right
there (or here) please.’’ While this
war is going on every move we make
should be “handled with care” to avoid
“entangling alliances.”

AUSTIN, Nov. 29—In a sensational
move here Tuesday, the Railroad
Commission ordered the huge gas sup-
ply of the Tennessee Gas & Trans-
mission Company cut off at the Agua
Dulce and Stratton fields in Nueces,
Jim Wells and Kleberg Counties as of
7 a. m. Tuesday, for failure, the com-
mission said, to comply with conser-
vation orders in returning gas to the
sands in the fields.
It was later learned that there had
been NO INTERRUPTION and that
the daily 200.000,000 cubic feet of gas
■was STILL FLOWING through the 24-
inch pipeline TO KENTUCKY and
WEST VIRGINIA and into pipelines
serving PENNSYLVANIA INDUS-
TRIES SOME 1,200 MILES AWAY.
It was learned that the company
thinks the cut-off order INVALID and
that, therefore, it will take a court
writ to stop the flow of gas. This
would put the burden on the state to
seek injunctions and prosecute same
in the courts to enforce its order. It
might also bring the MILLITARY
AUTHORITIES in to the case through
the War Production Board with repre-
sentations that the gas is for ESSEN-
TIAL WAR INDUSTRIES and must
NOT BE STOPPED or curtailed.
Railroad 'Commissioner Olin Cul-
