This is $20 a month more than the maximum paid in other states to jobless persons over G5. The federal government now is willing to kick in as high as $15 for every grant to persons above G5. After Jan. 1, Uncle Sam will go as high as $20. That still leaves it up to Colorado taxpayers to manage the additional $30 the entire $50 in the cases of folks between 60 and G5.

It would be silly for anyone to contend that as far as our sympathies go, the United States is neutral in the Russo-Finnis- h dispute. Efforts are being made, officially iind privately, to aid the valiant Finns financially. Americans are unanimous in exorcising Russia for her unprovoked assault upon the little democracy. We cheer openly whenever the Finns repulse another Russian offensive. o Yet, technically, we have done nothing to violate our neutrality.

WASHINGTON, Sounds Hollow hearkening al inner administration fight over cutting down on spending next year is nowhere raging more sharply than in connection with the anti-trucampaign of the Department of Justice. Assistant Attorney General Thurman Arnold believes his program is just getting under way, and that it offers the government the best single means at its disposal for keeping living costs down and promoting industrial revival. He wants to see the anti-trudivision's appropriation for next year raised from its present level of $1,3'M),000 to about $3,000,1X10. The budget bureau, meanwhile is insisting on a cut instead gif an increase. Right now the fate of the w hole anti-trucampaign is hanging in the balance. Arnold has bluntly told the administration that if his division cannot expand its work during the coming jear it might just as well shut up shop entirely. I The right of free press is si ill guarded pretty carefully by the U. S. Supreme Court. Ordinances designed to restrict or prohibit anyone from assing out handbills in Los Angeles, Milwaukee, Worcester, Mass., and Irvington, N. J., were recently declared unconstitutional by the high court. Distribution of handbills and pamphlets is one of the most elementary exercises of the free press heritage. Such means helped mote than is generally recalled in welding together a revolutionary spirit in the colonies in the late 18th century. It Is still an efleetive way for a minority to spread its ideas. The Supreme Court ruled that littering of streets was not sufficient excuse to bar passing out of handbills. Reasonable control to keep streets clean and prevent traffic congestion may be undertaken as long as freedom of the press is in no way affected. The decision will nip in the bud what might have developed into a handy instrument to suppress honest opinion. Washington Correspondent Herald-Journ- Nbfeo.V On r instrument Matgrass. Common verb.
