MINDSZENTY
Gets Life Term
The trial of Ctrdlnal Mlndnenty
primate of Hungary wai over and
the verdict came as no surprlie
The Cardinal wai sentenced to life
imprisonment on charges of trea-
son and black marketing If yiere
were an unexpected element In the
outcome It was that the primate
life had been spared
But at trials end even that hung
in the balance Cardinal Mindsren
ty still could lose his life Under
Hungarian law while his sentence
of life could be appealed the su-
preme peoples tribunal last court
of appeal could increase the sever-
ity of the sentence which In this
case could mean only death
THE CARDINAL was doomed
from the outset Ills plight had so
stirred the Christian world that de-
nunciations of the Hungarian gov-
ernments actions were almost uni-
versal Powerful western nations
through their leading churchmen
had attacked the trial procedure
ant this In turn had incensed the
Communistdominated Hungarian
court to a point where the Issue was
never In doubt
It was generally believed that It
was only reluctance to make a
martyr out of the Cardinal that
averted the death penalty
Hungary lost no time In assail-
ing American representatives who
actually or purportedly sided with
the cardinal Among targets of
these attacks were Cardinal Spell
man of New York who delivered
a scathing sermon against prosecu-
tion of Mlndszcnty and Scldcn
Chapln U S envoy to Hungary
AMONG OTHER THINGS Cardi-
nal Mlndszcnty was accused of
gathering Information for Chapln
In a scheme to overthrow the Hun-
garian government Chapln Im-
mediately branded this charge as
pure fantasy
General opinion was that in the
prosecution of the Cardinal Rus-
sian communism had made Its
first great blunder For In the
move was discerned the fact that
religion and religious concepts
whether Catholic or Protestant
would not be permitted to stand In
the way of Soviet alms of expansion
and domination
The Russians had resurrected a
policy which once before had so
alarmed them that they had for
sworn it Dut now they were pub-
licly and dramatically recommitted
to It a policy of the Kremlin ver-
sus Christ and this time the Soviet
Union was up against an adversary
lor whom there con be no defeat
INFLATION
People Curbed It
The people themselves can
claim major credit for the recent
check to national Inflation
That Is the conclusion ol the fam-
ily economics bureau of the North-
western National Life Insurance
Company which conducted a study
of the subject
THE STUDY developed that a
slowdown halt or reverse of six
main factors In the 78 per cent
rise from prewar price levels had
been brought about
It found that as late as last
September the public still was bid-
ding frantically against each other
for more Eoods than were being
produced In many lines llut In
the final two months of 1048 con-
sumers suddenly quit trying to out-
bid each other
With Industrial production In
high gear and comparatively free
from Interruptions output and
available supplies of most consum-
er goods were gaining steadily
Government bidding for grain In
Europe which ran grain prices up
to record heights last year slowed
down as world grain production
recovered
THE LONG RISE in wagecosts
perunit of goods was slowing down
the study said
Continuing Ht listing of the six
factors the study reported that
rapid expansion in money supply
both cash and credit due to vast
government borrowing had also
slowed down
Borrowing by business for ex-
pansion was listed as the sixth fac-
tor which was slowed down because
of tightened restrictions
Dut the first and foremost cause
of the current price deflation the
study concludes has been the halt
In the publics scramble for goods
By trimming their demands to tit
within available supplies the peo-
ple have recaptured some of their
normal control ovtr prices
HELP GIVEN NAVAJOS
Operating overland and bj air
tha federal government wai en-
gaged In the business of caring for
Its snowbound Navajo wards
Caught almost as helplessly aa
cattle In the worst blizzard to strike
the plains states in years Indians
on the vast Navajo reservation
were being fed by a SOOmlle life
lino maintained by tbs government
With theep and coin starving

GOPS DEWEY
New Liberalism
For a man who was strangely
reticent about plans while seeking
the presidency of the United States
New Yorks Thomas E Dewey
turned vocal and voluble In his Lin-
coln Day address In Washington
In the diminutive governors re-
marks there was no apology for
defeat and no supine bid for favor
Instead he lashed out vigorously
against party policy and advocated
a purge of antiliberals from
GOP ranks
That there was a noticeable para-
dox In his position apparently dis-
turbed him not at all While cry-
ing for those who oppose liberal
progressive policies to get out of
thi party he struck out also at
New Dealish elements Inside the
organization
Urging his party to stop bemoan-
ing the past he recommended that
It dedicate Itself anew to forward
looking programs of social progress
but without trying to outbid the
Democrats with the public money
It was Deweys first public ad-
dress since his defeat last Novem-
ber and In it he reminded his lis-
teners that the last GOP platform
expressed wholehearted belief In
unemployment Insurance Increased
old age assistance broader social
security generally slum clearance
and public housing public develop-
ment of water power and farm
price supports
These words must have left some
of his hearers stunned Surely they
must have asked themselves why
werent some of these things men-
tioned during the multiple appear-
ances of their presidential candi-
date last year
Dut Dewey ever the realist In
facing a situation however he may
react to It conceded that the par-
ty was split wide open In a fight
between two extremes of thought
And then he uttered a remark
which must have brought some sly
smiles He said What we ought
to do Is to make It everlasting-
ly clear to the country where we
stand and why
INCOME
Average 3000
The average annual income of
the American family was climbing
In 1047 the average was 3000
highest ever recorded up to that
time
The federal census bureau which
Issued the report found that In
come was distributed among the
countrys 37 million families In this
manner
FOUR MILLION had under
1000 six million had 1000 to
2000 eight mllKon 2000 to
3000 eight million 3000 to
4000 four million 4000 to
5000 three million 5000 to
0000 three million 6000 to 10
000 and one million 10000 or
more
Thus only four million families
or slightly fewer than one out of
each nine families In the country
had in that year the 0000 which
President Truman has suggested
as the starting point for the Income
tax increase he asked Congress to
consider
An Interesting factor Is that In
one fourth of the families women
earned 25 per cent or more of the
family Income and more than two
million families were supported en-
tirely be female breadwinners
Who fared best In the Average
Income Increase
Farm wageworkers came out
best The Income of this class had
Jumped from an average of 300 In
1039 to 000 In 1047
Government Feeding Snowbound Indians
and freezing with horse transporta
Hon Impossible the Navajos were
in actual distress
The government Indian service
doctors reported the health situa-
tion was fairly good among the
60000 Indiana living within tha
reservation area
Workers tolled with all kinds ot
mobile equipment to get through to
families cut oft for tlx weeks
THE HEMrmUi COUNTY NEWS CANADIAN TEXAS
GREEN LIGHT
Waits Faithfully
Harry S Truman of Indepen
dence Mo Is getting into a habit
of popping up as a poll topper In
this or that department
Man of the year most pop-
ular etc etc are some of
the poll winning titles he already
possesses
Now he has come up with an-
other
Mr Truman Is the nations No 1
pedestrian
No less an authority than that
National Safety Council has so
designated Mr Truman
THE ASSOCIATIONS magazine
Public Safety pictured Mr Tru
man on its cover and commended
him for his interest insafety
The traffic advisory board of the
District of Columbia hailed the
i Presidents firm decision to wait
faithfully for the green light be-
fore crossing Pennsylvania avenue
I Mr Truman turned down a sug
gestion that a special traffic con-
trol be established for his dally
walks between his temporary resi-
dence at Blair House and the White
House
Mr Truman said he preferred
to obey the traffic signals like
any other citizen
ABOMB DATA
Reds Demand It
The Russians lust couldnt stay
out of the news
Dut In an utterance which com-
manded American headlines they
revealed themselves as almost
childishly naive
With the cold war as hot as It
could be short of the bullet stage
the Soviets had the gall to demand
that the United States tell them
how many A bombs this country
has and provide full data on armed
forces and armaments
Never modest in demands the
Soviets set a deadline for receipt
of this Information It was March
31 1949
HOWEVER they wouldnt be
completely selfish about the matter
They demanded that the report on
these matters be made to the
United Nations of which Russia Is
a member
Warren R Austin U S delegate
to the U N dubbed the Soviet res-
olution a succotash of all the
beans and different constituents
Russia has put to the U N on the
arms and atomic questions since
the world peace organization was
formed
Even a non betting citizen might
be excused for risking a saw buck
that the Russians would have noth
ing but their pains In proposing
that the U S bare its atomic war
potentials to the Kremlin
e29S
Direct Hits
The army air force was making
point for Its contention of its
Importance as an effective arm In
Itself Four air force B 29s scored
direct hits on nine fighting ships
attacking Kodlak island in the
navys north Pacific war games
An airman aboard one of the
bombers said the formation spot-
ted the nine ships 250 miles south-
east of Kodlak and registered
bombing hits In three runs at 20
000 feet
THE SHIPS were part of a navy
task force attempting to retake the
island from a theoretical enemy
The report was significant from
two standpoints First because the
air force termed it Important
enough to report Since that was
done it was motivated probably
by the fact that the air force
wanted to show that It had demon
of land based planes in an off
strated the efficacy of the power
shore attack

KATHLEEN NORMS
Communist Paradox
Bell Syndicate WNU Features
By KATHLEEN NORRIS
AMONG THE YOUNG per-
sons I love and perhaps among
those you love too there are-
a few who have given their
hearts minds and bodily serv-
ices to the promotion of commu-
nism They live along pleasantly
and comfortably enough blessings
and advantages of being Ameri-
cans but they feel small admira-
tion for their own country and
quiet but passionate confidences in
the Russian Ideology
When I suggested to two of these
young crusaders that they
go at my expense to spend a year
or two in Russia and study com-
munism in Its workings they re-
garded me with that kindly super-
ior amusement that Is so charac-
teristic of their attitude toward
those who differ with them
Take the children to Russia
they exclaimed incredulously Of
course they couldnt and wouldnt
Take small babies over to the re-
strictions shortages and discom
forts of a great country In the
throes of getting itself bom Deep
Snow unheated houses transporta-
tion difficulties complicated and
ramified laws in every direction
and both Mother and Dad working
They knew too well how bitter a
contrast this would be to the free-
dom they know today
What Is the Answer
But ddsplte the shock that this
suggestion gave them they went
right on addressing envelopes ad-
dressing meetings quoting the Red
propagandists with pride citing our
American ways with scorn
Why Does any bewildered par
ent of deluded children know the
answer Any educated person and
almost all our American children
Cthttg Amtrtea wttb tcom
have had high school if not college
training knows that we Ameri
cans started as Russia did less
than 300 years ago and that In
that short time we actually have
demonstrated a way of living near-
er the Ideal than that of any other
country
The young people In America
shouting In the defense of the Com-
munist party know that there are
few laboring men or women in the
world who wouldnt jump onto a
ship and come to America If they
could and turn themselves Into
Americans with all due speed once
they got here
My cwn brief visit to Russia In
eluded the journey from the far
east ccist right through to the west-
ern bodcr I saw happening there
something like what must have
happentd In France In 1793 I saw
the mighty struggle of a wealth
oppressed nobilityoppressed
church oppressed people trying to
throw off injustice and want and
gain what to us In America is pri
marily right liberty life and the
pursuit of happiness
Sams Goal Wrong Approach
They are seeking what we all
need a id desire but they are some
150 yetrs behind us New abuses
as wai Inevitable have sprung up
In place of the old Their leaders
have grasped power but they dont
know bow1 to use It They went in
hastily some 20 years ago for free
marriage free divorce almost uni
versal and quite legally recognized
abortion A relative of mine met
one Moscow professional man who
had ben married 22 times In lest
than frtur years
Well yes and In Paris some 150
years ago they tried to abolish God
too and put a naked woman up on
the altar of Notre Dame Yet Paris
came tu her senses eventually The
bells tang again and the broad
steps of the Madeleine are nevex
empty now
Russia needs time We dont hell
her cause over here with fear crl
tlclsm rumor abuse And espe-
cially those youngsters for young
or old they are Immature don1
help her cause when they grasj
halfbaked Marxian theories and
go about babbling them all th <
time quite safe and happy under a
different sort of national life
Russias rulers will be changed
Russias development will ripen
This Is inevitable Russia will dls
cover has discovered Indeed thai
splendid constitution is one thing
and getting poor humans to live
by that constitution Is quite
other Weve had an Infallible guide
tor 2000 years Weve not lived up
in It weve done less than half ol
What we might have done In the
way of forgiveness service and
sharing Yes we could have lived
Up more fully to the ideals of Chris
tianity
