But a relatively small number ot people knows much about them. By the same token, there Is endless talk as to just what the governments tax and social policies should be in the current emergency, but few of us are in a position to suggest anything tangible. The Committee for Economic Development a nonit orpolitical and ganization of some 130 leading businessmen and educators who are devoting their time, experience and resources to objective economic research has proposed a program which, it believes, meets the needs of the moment. Not everyone will agree with all of it.

Vandenberg agreed that the Navy seemed to into the be getting better looking females WAVES, and that the WAFS could go in for taller women. The chief of the air force also suggested that the WAFS ought to be more feminine and stick to secretarial work instead of trying to be mechanics, truck drivers and grease CED SAYS that higher taxes are necessary. "But, it adds, three is also a danger jn higher taxes. The danger is that extremely high taxes especially if long continued and badly distributed will interfere with the growth of production, Which is also one of our main economic objectives. In fact, there is a danger that taxes will be at the same time too high and too low higher and more harmful to production than woiffd be necessary if effective action were taken with respect to government expenditures, credit expansion and savings and yet not high enough to control inflationary pressure in view of the other policies that are actually followed, t If, in addition, the taxes we Impose are of a kind that put great restraint upon production and relatively little restraint upon inflation, we shall have taxes ourselves at great cost for little benefit. monkey s. But when the general delicately passed these suggestions on to Col. Geraldine May, commander of the WARS, she rebelled. She argued that women were lecruited for their merit, not their glamor; and that women should be used in noncombat jobs as well as men. Partly as a result of all this, Colonel May has been eased out and is being replaced as bead of the WAFS by Mary Jo Shelly of Bennington College, Vermont. Meanwhile, the ladies of the air force aie really mad at their chief of staff. And they arent going to let him forget it soon.

OF COVRSE IT is fairly easy to see that there actually is no beef shortage. What it appears to be actually is a strike which is being publicized ns a shortage. A strike either of growers or packers or both, in protest over the determination of certain Washington wizards to impose controls on beef and make them stick. NOW IT WOULD be rather easy for us to get pretty sore at the growers and packers if we werent so sore at the Washington people that the growers and pack- ets are sore at. The growers and packers, we take it, dont want any controls at all, and they have all sorts of arguments to prove that controls are dangerous, vicious, immoral and practically night, my troubles with a fireplace that smoked, my conviction that Bdi Dickey was Tne best catcher baseball ever knew, the griefs of spring housecleaning, and a talk with Nehru in New Delhi.

Its no secret that the two men never got along well, Marshall having been a strong Pershing man and the youiig captain on Pershings staff who worked out the strategy for the transfer of the Ameriacn Expeditionary Force from e St. Mihiel to the front without the enemy knowing it. Military experts pronounced this an amazing job. While Marshall was an unobstrusive captain with Pershing. MacArthur was a spectacular Brigadier General with the Rainbow division. After the war, MacArthur kept in the limelight, first as commander of West Point, later as a Brigadier General in the Philippines, then as chief of staff.

I READ SOMEPLACE that one of the reasons for such high prices on meat is that a lot of people who could never afford the better cuts of meat now stow away choice beefstakes at least once a day, in other words that we are in a nouveau riche meat economy. That may be, but I know a lot of people for whom beef at the current prices or a total absence of beef amount to one and the same thing.

The company, Stutts Lumber Industries of Thomasville, Ala., had a $300,000 overdraft at a local bank. So the potent congressman from Alabama helped get a loan of $450,000 from the RFC for the lumber company, following which it paid off its draft, and had some lert over to buy the congressmans timber. Significantly, Boykins cousin, Frank Prince, helped put this loan across too. NOTE On capitol hill its said that Boykin should change his motto to ripple heavy feeling in my chest. Then it came to me. Here I was, after 20 years of writing a column, pledged t6 keep on domg it Day after day. Year after year. Ahead of me, week after week, starting with Monday and ending with Friday, was a solemn promise to think up something new that would please newspaper editors and newspaper rfeaders. Generally speaking, this is the kind of tax and budgetary program which most economists favor now. The heavy emphasis that is placed upon strict government economy is of particular significance. Some think the budget can be cut by substantially more than the $6 billion CED recommends. Aside from the precise figure, almost all are dead certain that big reductions are both possible and necessary. , rollBy M. L. NIELSEN Washington announced a SO THERES GOING to be a back.

Second, the combined Income tax rate on corporate profits in excess of $25,000 would be raised from the present 47 percent to 50 percent. Third, a new excise tax of five percent would be imposed on goods sold at retail, excluding food, housing, utilities and certain other items. The present manufacturers excise tax on a number of commodities, such as automobiles and other durable goods, would also be raised. CED likewise recommends that various loopholes in the tax laws such as that which exempts cooperative businesses from taxation be plugged up.

ASKS At any rate, Sir Keith's observations on the U.S.A. aie worth noting. He found us: 1. The best-infmed nation in the world; and 2. The nation with the freest discussion of problems. He was impressed with, the way we brought things out in the open, hid nothing, pulled no punches. He felt this was the greatest strength ot democracy; that most nations outside the o: English-s- peaking this. i world were not strong enough to do However, he deplored the MacArthur healings in that they gave priceless secrets to the Rus- -, sians; had a bad effect on our allies. To him it seemed that we were playing pure politics. Of all the people this powerful Australian pub-- I lisher visited in Washington, the most useful, .he felt, was a man many Americans have never heard of Dr. Hugh Bennett, head of Soil Conservation. Sir Keith figured that Bennett has probably done mere for the U.S.A. than any other one man, in that he is gradually preventing the wade of our most priceless and m st biapiaeeable asset the soil. Even despite his el forts, however, it is still roiling into the sea at the rate of 500,000,000 acres a year never to come back. :ant happen to you IF e Sears FREE PARKIS 49 West 2nd Norlh Rear of Sears Store rfrai -- L0T "fiiT |
