Show FRIDAY, JULY 18, 1952 THE BINGHAM BULLETIN, BINGHAM CANYON, UTAH PAGE FIVE ' feHiinB rttAay7ashington By Walter Shead AS THE TWO political parUei prepare for the long battle to the November election, it appears that the American people have some fine hairs to split to deter-mine the winner of the presidential contest. For, as Is customary at the close of the fiscal year, over econ-omist, government and private, and all large business trade groups in-cluding the United States Cham-ber of Commerce, come out with their predictions for business dur-ing the coming year . . . and all, without exception predict business will be good and employment high. In its prognostications the U.S. Chamber reported a $40 billion In-crease in the gross national prod-uct during the past year and a rise of $13 billion In the national income , in the first quarter of the year. Prices have remained stable, per-sonal savings continued to climb, tremendous expansions are planned by the oil, chemicals and electric power industries, the defense pro-gram is "now really beginning to roll" and will preceed without un-due hardship to the civilian econ-omy. The disturbing factor, the Cham-ber said, was the ponderous gov-ernment payrolls. Total civilian employment rose in May to 61.2 million and the roll of unemployed remained at a post-wa- r low of 1.8 million. In any ordinary year such a rosy report as this, particularly from the most constant critic of the administration in power, would be enough to win an election. However, it appears this one Is not going to be any ordinary elec-tion. One issue, of course, will be on foreign policy and the Korean war. The 82nd congress adjourned for the conventions with more work left undone than was accomplished. As is usually the case, for six months the congress fritters away long hours on useless debate and then come down to the last week and passes a whole raft of measures of which 73 'per cent of the member-ship does not know the content. On the huge money appropriations, over which they have wrangled all sessions, huge sums are added or slashed from the totals and a mere handful of one house or the othor ratify by voice vote after hearing reports of the Conference commit-tees. The house really went wild on the controls bills, and was bailed out by the Senate just as it happened in the passing of the 1951 version of the defense production act. There were many amendments, slashes, cuts, contradictions, and the con-ference committee worked long hours in bringing some semblance of order to the weakened bill. While it was far from the administration bill presented, it still gave controls over wages, prices, rents, credits and allocations for another 10 months. As it left the house, it was a politic club in the hands of the administration, since the house had killed price controls but hung onto wage controls, thus lifting the lid on everything the working man had to buy but keeping a lid on his wages . . . and that act may have repercussions in many labor cen-ters in the coming election. Overriding veto of the McCarran bill on immigration was a bitter pill for the President to take, the proponents winning by one vot over the necessary two-third- s While the President admitted there were some good features In the blithe said they were so embedded in and other bad fea tures it was Impossible for him U sign it.

PACE Advice to the Lovewarn TO DISPLACED PERSON: You write that after your wife gets through kissing her 29 poodles good-night she has no kiss left for you. My advice is take a tip from the ladies, get poodle haircut, and get in line with the dogs when bed-die-b-time comes. After kissing IS or 16 poodles, she'll never know the difference when she gets to you. TO FASTIDIOUS FANNY: You complain that your husband keeps snakes In the bath tub. If you're too modest to bathe with snakes, I'd advise you to throw soap in their eyes so they can't see. Or if you're afraid of the reptiles, stay out of the tub. In a week or 10 days, if the weather stays hot, your husband should scent your mortification and take the hint or the air. TO MOTHER MACBREE: You write that your husband holds you and encourages your small son to kick your shins. Well, you're pretty d if this displeases you. Your husband and child are enjoy-ing a fathar-and-so- n comradeship, real man-stuf- f, into, which your meddling is unwelcome. Do not be-grudge your son this bit of com-panionship with his dad and ruin beautiful relationship with selfish nagglrg. DEAR ALL CUT UP: You com-plain that your boy friend, just to embarrass you, chews up old light bulbs and then picks his teeth In mixed company. My dear young lady, must you bo so delicate? This is the 20th century! Although the tooth pick is offensive in some cir-cumstances, it is socially accepta-ble when one eats glass. You should be grateful mat he rids his gums of the offensive shards before be kisses you goodnight! By LAYIN'IA LOVELESS CATCH HOLDS GATE TO DESIRED OPENING . . .
