Volume 37 Number 40 disabled we have the old Republican proposal to shift more of the cost to the states. This is proposed in the sacred name of decentralization. The real reason, as everyone knows, is to get the costs of these important and civilized services off the federal income and corporation tax base the taxes that mainly support the federal government and on to the sales, property, and like taxes that in the main support state and local functions. In many cases this means that the functions will be unperformed. It prevents the rehabilitation of people who, with help, would become self supporting citizens. It is very poor economy. And no one inquires as to the effect of these shifts on the helpless children, the destitute blind and the other handicapped people who are principally concerned. They are regarded, in an old Republican tradition, only as a costly nuisance. Aged and ill veterans are also apparently to be made the subject of Republican economy. GOP Words Don't Match GOP Deeds In his state of the union message President Eisenhower spoke gravely and persuasively of the needs of national defense of the urgencies and requirements of the world political struggle, and he urged the importance of a balanced and dedicated attack on shortcomings in education, scientific development and civilian welfare. Republican speeches, we have learned, can be very plausible. But with Eisenhower and Nixon words are unrelated to action except as they are offered as a substitute for it. The budget, which necessarily is the program for action, bears no relation to the prornises as even the friendliest of commentators have pointed out. The national security outlays it proposes are the smallest in relation to the projected gross national product since the early fifties. The effectiveness of the outlays has been re-duced by the Eisenhower inflation. We may wish that these outlays might be much smaller; but obviously reduction must come after and not before understanding and the relaxation of world tensions. The rededication to our tasks for which the President called has been accomplished by freezing or lowering nearly all othei outlays. This has been in the fact, not only of the increased needs above cited, but in face of the just mentioned inflation and its effect in reducing the purchasing power of public dollars. The school building program has been jettisoned . in return for a small and thoroughly inadequate program of aid mainly to scientific education. As a result, proposed educational outlays are smaller in this budget than in the last. A halt has been called on new investment in resource, energy, and similar public development. Stagnation is to be the policy here. The housing program remains small in face of continuing and urgent need. Private housing is to be stimulated mainly by a rise in mortgage interest rates. Even Andrew Mellon might have wondered about this remedy. Nothing is said about the growing problems of metropolitan living and communication. A party which seeks to evade old problems doesn't recognize new ones. On welfare programs old age assistance, aid to the needy blind, aid to dependent children, and aid to the permanently Keeping the public informed on means of economical auto-motive maintenance is one of the services of an eastern auto-- I- - H PEEP SHOW Aqua the sea lion gives a fair imitation of a Peeping Tom as he peers through a window at the Miami (Fla.)

Nature's Wash Job Everyone thinks of a good wax job as a means of protecting his car's finish, but seldom considers it as a money saver. The engineers point out, however, that a properly waxed car can greatly reduce the number of wash jobs necessary. It seems that the usual accumulatoins of dirt and dust don't stick to the finish when properly waxed. In fact, a good rain will wash a waxed car clean as a whistle. Therefore you can spend less money for wash jobs and still keep a clean car. What Is Cure For Recession? (Continued from Page 1) they may exhort others to prevent it, as though anybody but government could. Yet at the least encouragement they, like the gambler, are ready to return to the tables they know may ultimately be ruinous. "In what lies this almost irresistible fascination? Partly it is political. We have made prosperity' into such a political fetish that an economic adjustment is hardly to be tolerated and if at all, not for long. Partly it is just that inflation is the easy way. And partly it is the result of belief in the theory which holds that government must compensate for corrections in the economy. "All these, though, are alibis at best. The government knows as well as any gambler what is the likely upshot. It is no mystery. The government inflates to cure a recession. The economy does there upon revive; the new boom contains infla-tionary excesses, which must be corrected, and so it goes. The longer it goes, and the greater, the successive inflation injections, the worse the corrections become." While Mr. Eccles went on to paint a moderately bright pic-ture of the future it still appeared obvious that things are likely to get a lot worse before they get better. It also appeared obvious that unless the business dominated Republican administration is chased out of Washington we will be face to face with 1929 again. dio and TV star, will be narrator.
