Anyone who thinks that inflation and unbridled inflation at that tan be prevented without freezing farm prices and wages should read one of two, preferably both, recent observations. One of these was the testimony on Capitol Hill of Bernard M. Baruch. The other is a pamphlet issued by the Brookings Institution entitled "Effects of the Defense Program on Prices, Wages and The latter is by Dr. Profits." Meyer Jacobstein and Dr. Harould G. Moulton. Dr. Moulton is head of the Brookings Institution. They are interesting chiefly because they demonstrate, emphatically and without heat, that nothing the government is doing or proposes to do will prevent runaway prices, and partial destruction, through this cutting of the value of the dollar, of all savings accounts, life insurance, social insurance benefits in fact all forms of savings which are measured in dollars and not in goods. It hits the government bond and the sock under the mattress equally in proportion. It hits the very defense bonds the public is being told are a good investment. Issued on the Secretary of the Treasury Morgenthau's proposal of a boost in the social security tax from 2 to 6 per cent was announced, the authors of the Brookings pamphlet could not have been meaning to hit it. But they did. One of the admitted reasons for this proposed tax boost was to cut private purchasing power as a partial check on inflation. Brookings' Statement Say Drs. Jacobstein and Moulton: "The price advance cannot be iirectly attributed to the increases in mass purchasing power. If the general rise in prices had been due to competitive bidding by consumers possessed of increased incomes, one would expect to find retail prices increasing at least as much and as rapidly as the prices of manufac- tured products and raw materials. The facts show, however, that the increase in retail prices has been relatively small. The price rises began at the producing and not at the consuming" end . . . "The facts clearly show that the active forces leading to price advances in the present situation have been operating on raw materials and manufactured products, gradually spreading from there to the retail end . . . "The prevailing belief in government circles that price rises could not occur so long as there remained a large volume of unemployed labor and capital goes far toward explaining why no deep concern was manifested until fairly recently over the price question, and why the Office of Price Administration was not set up until the spring of 1941. Had the nature of the price inflation process been clearly perceived, steps would doubtless have been taken at a much earlier date to control the sources of price disturbance. Joe Martin's conclusion that the folks in the West are keenly worked up about the new taxes, and his hope that the G.O.P. may win the next house as a result, may be discounted by the possibility of an appeal by administration leaders not to give the world the impression that the American people are not in sympathy 'with the war against Adolf Hitler. But if Mar(in is right about the interest in taxes, as would seem very logical, look out for primary upsets next spring and fall! Outsiders aspiring to seats in the house and senate are likely to find taxes a heaven-sen- t issue. There is hardly a senator or representative who will not be pitifully vulnerable to a sharp attack by an opponent who studies the sitting member's record on appropriation roll calls. Remember that these will be local contests. The sitting members will always be attacked for voting for appropriations in which their own constituents are not interested, but which can be made to appear heavily responsible for the boost in taxes. 1 - Arthur H. of couwriter Ortmej er, plets, who conducts a column in the Indianapolis News called "Hoosier Homespun," has widened his field of homespun philosophy and humor into braille.

Her costumes are of her own design and have resulted in her being called one of the best dressed women in the country.

Miss Bacon has an uncanny faculty of quickly choosing stories and articles favored by her readers. great-uncle- s, The reprisals were ruthless and widespread, but unsystematic, and quite amateurish compared to Heydrich's highly professional exploits, for the fatherland and the iron heel. Old Baron Constantin von Neurath, whom Heydrich succeeds as "protector" in the Czech region, liked to shoot wild boars, but held back on shooting too many people. So they give a younger man a chance. The new "protector" was Hitler's finger-ma- n in the 1934 one of his principal victims being his friend Ernst Roehm, with whom he had risen to Nazi party eminence in the SS organization. They immediately afterward made him director of the Berlin office of the Gestapo. As he rose in the Gestapo, Heydrich established precise and methods for killings and mayhem. It was in 1938, when the Gestapo took on the activities of the "International Criminal Police commission," that he foreshadowed the wider outreach of his espionage system. He said: "We are aware that the criminal activities of the world can only be fought internationally." It was reported at the time that in his office there was built up a dossier on "criminals" all over the world, who had spoken disrespectfully of Nazi Germany. One exploit which won him increased power was filching Schuschnigg's private letters and papers. blood-purg- 1 The rural sections of the country are better promoters of Sunday School attendance than those in cities, according to a recent survey by the International Council of Religious Education.

Rural Americans have proven to be better Sunday school promoters than their city brothers, a survey made public here by the International Council of Religious Education discloses. The first nation-wid- e survey of Sunday school distribution and attendance showed that 72 per cent of all church schools in the United States are found in rural areas of less than 2,500 population. In attendance, however, the have an advantage. Sunday schools located in cities have an average enrollment of 210 compared to the rural church schools' 05. A nation-widaverage of 114 is maintained. Thirty-si- x Protestant denominations, through the International Council, operate Sunday schools in the United States and now have a total of 160,430 schools. Total pupil enrollment for these schools was announced as 20,772,141. Dr. Mary Leigh Palmer, associate director of leadership education, made public the statistical findings of the survey. e On d, war. Daisy Bacon T FEEN-A-MIN- In the ofoafoflftoloflloftoDfto d.
