Record's In t t f ' j rr W , j U.S. SPENDING: Deficit System Hit It seemed an obvious conclusion that the President's council of eco-nomic advisers was having little effect in influencing government of-ficials to insist upon a real effort by the administration to put its financial house in order. ANY such conclusion would have been bolstered by the fact that Dr. Edward G. Nourse, chairman of the council, was quitting that body. In an address before the national retail farm equipment association. Dr. Nourse hit hard at federal def-icit spending and charged that the government is "slipping back into deficits as a way of life." Instead of deficit financing, he said, the government should be "putting its fiscal house in order and husbanding reserves to support the economy if less prosperous times overtake us." According to reports, Dr. Nourse had informed President Truman that he was going to leave the gov-ernment, although there was no word as to whether the President had accepted or would accept the resignation. WELL-PLACE- official circles were said to believe that Nourse's decision to leave the advisers' coun-cil was because of his belief that he had failed in what he regarded as a fight to keep the council on a strict professional plane of fact-finding and advice-givin- divorced from political issues. In his address, Nourse was crit-ical of elements among labor, agri-culture and management, chiding farmers for' "demanding stimula-tive prices," labor for demanding shorter hours in the face of the need for increased production. RENTS: Keep Level A rather surprising thing had happened. A survey showed that lifting of rent control in more than 500 areas had not resulted in whole-sale rent increases. Lifting of con-trols, put into effect in wartime. President Harry S. Truman, with congress finally in ad-journment, would have to go to the people with the record of ' that congress in the fight for Democratic seats in the 1950 elections. Little of his program was enacted, but there was little doubt he would defend the congress to the end. BIG DAY: Break for Kids Underprivileged children in more than 3,000 U.S. and Canadian com-munities will receive assistance from a program of youth welfare announced' by is International and The Na-tional Kids' Day Foundation, Inc. J. Hugh Jackson, Stanford, Calif., president of Kiwanis International, in announcing the cooperative ef-fort, said "the problems of under-privileged children are the prob-lems of the entire nation but their solution depends upon local action. There are more than 3,000 Kiwanis clubs which are geared for partici-pation in the program." FOCAL POINT of the campaign will be the observance of an an-nual "National Kids Day," the first to be held on Saturday, November 19, when each community will be asked to enlist the support of its citizens in meeting the problems of local youth. began last April 1. TAKEN as a whole, however, rents in key decontrolled areas did go up a little, but the hike was not as severe as most observers had predicted. The survey disclosed that land-lord reaction to decontrol was spotty. One major factor in the over-al- l rent picture was said to be the number of vacancies available a factor which might, after all, have considerable restraining ef-fect on any appreciable over-al- l rent increase. Some landlords raised rents, but had to cut them again when tenants moved out. Also some landlords were still bound by leases issued in the period before decontrol. According to the survey, in-creases were scattered, rather than general, in most places. THUS THE PICTURE of the rent situation generally is clouded by the factors enumerated, factors which may of themselves have enough restraint value to hold down rent hike, as well as a dis-inclination of landlords to raise rentals to levels most Americans expected. Continuing strikes, loss of income, more accessibility of housing sites may all combine to keep any gen-eral and extensive rent increases from being made in the near fu-ture. MILITARY: 15.5 Billions If war comes, America intends to be ready. Demonstrating that fact, congress finally got together on a record peace-tim- e military appro-priations bill totalling approximate-ly 15.5 billion dollars, including funds to build the air l force up to 58 groups. BREAKING a month-lon- g dead-lock and spurred, no doubt, by re-ports that Russia has the atomic bomb, house and senate hurried through the details of the final measure which went to President Truman for approval.. In this action, the senate finally bowed to house insistence on giving the air force some 10 groups and 740 million dollars more than Pres-ident Truman had requested for it. CONCERN over the possibility of enemy atomic attack was indicated when congress also appropriated 50 million dollars to start construc-tion of a vast radar screen de-signed to warn the United States of any enemy air attack. The Kiwanis president empha-sized that National Kids' Day will not be celebrated as a holiday or used as a g occasion. "It is our intention to use the observ-ance of this day as a means of rallying the forces of each com-munity toward solving local juve-nile problems," he continued. "By this means, we hope to raise ad-ditional funds to carry on a year-roun- d program of youth activity in cities and towns in the U.S. and Canada. Money raised in each com-munity will be spent in the same community for the benefit of chil-dren." CHARLES PETTIJOHN, execu-tive secretary of The National Kids' Day Foundation, Hollywood, Calif., said his organization was formed last year to call national attention to the right of underprivileged youth to enjoy some of the benefits nor-mally accruing to boys and girls in more fortunate circumstances. The Foundation also seeks to attract at-tention to the accomplishments of youth and to stimulate additional interest in the problems of youth. DEFENSE: A Speedup The United States was moving swiftly to meet the threat of Soviet possession of the atomic bomb. President Truman and the atomic energy commission had ordered a 30 million dollar expansion of atom bomb facilities at Oak Ridge, Tenn., and Hanford, Wash. THUS THE RACE to see whether the U.S. or Soviet Russia could prot duce the most bombs seemed to be on, and with it went any immediate hope, at least, for any international control of atomic energy. The ex-tent of the U.S. effort in the race was seen when authoritative quar-ters announced that the new program ulti-mately would cost 300 million dol-lars. Chairman McMahon (D., Conn.) of the congressional atomic energy committee, called the project a "major expansion effort." Mc- Mahon would not say that the ac-tion stemmed from Russian prog-ress with atomic fission, but there was a certain evidence of haste in-asmuch as White House clearance for the project came just six days after President Truman announced the atomic explosion in Russia. it ij ... v ! BROADWAY AND MAIN STREET Ibsan, Shmibsen, She Said; I Confide With Me Everything By BILLY ROSE i I recently read a magazine piece entitled, "What's Wrong with Modern Marriage," in which the author opined that the divorce rate would drop like an over-rip- e apple if the average wife showed more interest in her husband's business and hobbies. I Well, mebbe so, but you can't prove it by my Uncle Charlie, 5 and my Aunt Frieda. . . . ; Charlie and Frieda are a couple of oldsters who have been living in a four-roo- flat on the East Side almost as long as magazines have been printing articles entitled, "What's Wrong with Modern Marriage." Ever ' since their nuptials, they've had at least one argument a day, and when they stop scrapping that's when I'll start worrying about them, i . r remember an evening back in the days when I was knee-hig- h to the j Allen Street curbstone when Aunt I- - I Frieda came home from the movies j j with an air of unwavering nobility. I j "Charlie," she said tensely, "how j i is business at the shop, good, bad or Mi f '15 i j j Jr'. I lair to the mid-dle?" "Eh - peh," an-swered my uncle. ("Eh - peh," I hasten to translate, means that things being what they are, if a man breaks even he can consider himself a ways you are saying pinochle is for loafers and "I ain't saying different," said Frieda, but pinochle is your passion and I don't want it should take my place in your life." Now, my uncle was a broad-minde- d man. When women began to bob their hair, his comment was, "They want to ventilate their necks, so let them." But pinochle well, that was another matter. Nevertheless, he knew better than to balk his wife outright and, as he explained the game to Frieda, all the while thinking bitterly of the coffeehouse session he was missing, a plot began to hatch in his head. Next evening he was home early with a bag of wool and knitting needles. "Frieda," he said, "how you make a cable stitch?" Half an hour later he was in the kitchen tasting the soup. "It needs a pinch paprika," he said. "You're giving me point-out- s how to make soup?" "Who's teaching? A woman cooks and shops, a husband should simi-lar cook and shop. How much you pay for cabbage?" "Five cents a head." "At Fuzarri's on Avenue A, is four cents.". a FRIEDA DROPPED a handful of cutlery in the sink." Fuzarri's is six blocks away." "So what? The exercise will do you good." That Saturday night, Charlie ' persuaded a couple of his cronies to come over for a pinochle ses-sion and put up with his wife's playing. At 12 o'clock Frieda said, "1 can't keep my eyes apart. Maybe you could play three-- "If no more cable stitches." "No more pinochle?" "If no more tasting the soup." "You got an agreement," said my uncle. And they've been fighting happi-ly ever since. :: BUly Rose away success.; j:. " 'Eh-pe- is no answer," said Frieda. "I am sick of living in a doll's house." '; "I see," said Charlie. "Tonight ' i In the nickelodeon was showing Nazimova in 'A Doll's House' by i t Hymie Ibsen." Hj "Ibsen, Shmibsen," said Frieda. "You can't push me out of your '' life. Confide in me everything, rJ: come thick or thin." ''jj "This I'll confide," said Charlie, "When I come home from the shop I'm tired out like a dog. 'i Bad enough I live through the ' ' day without it should repeat on , me like radishes." j However, with my Aunt Frieda, i like Columbus, there was no turn ing back. She kept picking away until Charlie itemized the day's doings everything from punch-i-n to punch-ou- t. BUT THAT WAS only the begin-ning. The payoff came a few weeks later when Charlie was fixing to at-- : tend his weekly pinochle session. "I want you should teach me how Li to play," said Frieda, t "Pinochlel" said Charlie. "Al- - banded." "What kind pinochle player stops so early?" said Charlie. "Deal!" And at 3 a.m., Frieda was dealing them as if they were bricks. Sunday, Charlie put on his best tie. "Today I go with you to see Theda Bara," he said. "Is not necessary to go with," said Frieda. "I got a date with the ladies." "Where you go, I go," said Charlie. Frieda, afraid Charlie would laugh at Theda's amatory exer-cises and humiliate her in front of her friends, pulled down the flag. "Marriage is not simple a ball and chain," she said. "You go your way and I'll go to Loew's." Charlie moved in for the kill. "No more schmoose about the shop?" l SAVE A LOT OF KEEPING AN EXTRACT MOMMY... .

Barbara Gibson did it Septem-ber 12, and will be heard again on the program in February. Gladys Swarthout promptly phoned her praise; Lily Pons, who had missed : ; ; BARBARA GIBSON the broadcast, asked for record-ings. Like Lily, Barbara is a col-oratura soprano. Unlike her, she's a young American girl likes to swim and ski, makes her own clothes. Walter Magill, producer of "The Telephone Hour," was at CBS the day she auditioned, heard executives raving about her voice; after hearing her sing he gave her her big chance. Columbia will release "All the King's Men" some time near Christmas, to get maximum con-sideration for Academy Award nomination. Paramount is banking on "The Heiress"; 20th Century-Fo- x has "Pinky"; Eagle-Lio- "Passport to Pimlico." Before designing "Mortimer Snerd," CBS' Edgar Bergen spent months in research on phrenology. He made a complete list of all physical characteristics associated with stupidity, then combined them ' all in "Mortimer." The University of Denver has adopted Paramount's "M y Friend Irma" as the basis of a course in film production and appreciation. The script, still, production and publicity pho-tos and a number of minature sets used in the picture are being used as visual aids, and sets created by Hans Dreier and Henry Bumstead are on display in the college library. Lucille Ball is back at RKO, the first time in six years, to make ' "Easy Living," with Victor Ma-ture. It was at RKO that she met her husband, Desi Arnaz, eight years back, when they were the principals of "Too Many Girls." Florence Freeman expected to be home awaiting the stork's ar-rival the last week of September, and the script of "Wendy Warren and the News" was written so as to give the star a vacation. But her son didn't know that in radio everything has to be done right on time. He put off greeting his par-ents and two sisters until October 6. t j The 'j Fiction RANGE RIDER Corner They weren't convinced. Chuck slid down off the corral. "We'll now go into lesson number two," he remarked, "which in-cludes bulldogging. Ever bulldog a steer, mister?" Without waiting for the dude's re-ply, Chuck, who had won laurels as a bulldogger, galloped after a steer, threw and roped him in rec-ord time. Pleased and swaggering he returned. "See how it's done?" he asked. "Yes," said Johnny, "I see. Mind if I try.it on that big steer?" He tried it. He threw and roped the big steer in three seconds less time than Chuck. After a roping exhibition Johnny, without being chal-lenged, produced a six-gu- n and demonstrated some fast and accurate shooting. In fact, it was so fast and so accurate that Baldy and Chuck didn't offer to exploit their own prow-ess. When the shooting was over the range riders went into a huddle. Presently they returned to Johnny. Chuck stuck out his hand. "Mister, we hereby apologise. We know when we're licked." Johnny grinned. "Well," he said, "I reckon that was Uncle Jim's idea. At first. Then when he found out I was a circus performer he saw a chance to play a joke on you boys. I learned all my stuff in a circus. I got to be pretty good, because I liked the work. In fact, I liked it so well I decided to become a real cowboy. The truth is, I don't know a darned thing about and I'd appreciate it a heap if you boys would let me stay and teach me a few things'." "Teach you!" declared Chuck. "Ha! Mister, consider yourself t'home." pHUCK HANSON and Baldy Davis, range riders for the J Circle H cattle outfit, were pretty disgusted the day young Johnny Howard rode into their camp and handed them a note signed by Old Man Hadley, the Circle H's owner. The note read in part: ; "This will introduce Johnny How- - ' ard from New York, the son of an ) old friend of mine. ; He wants to be G Minute a real cowboy Fiction and Im sendins him out to you Show him iboys.Chuck led the 44 "Ain't the boss cute?" he said L sarcastically. "Handin' us this M nurse maid's job. By Gad, one day : Jim Hadley will go too far." "The way 'I figure it," said H Baldy, "the boss is passin' the " Jj ; buck. Since this fashion-plat- e 'A : Is the son of a friend he can't p just give him the works and 6 send him home, so he puts it op to- - us." Chuck spat and scratched his f head. "By gum, mebbe you're 5 right. Shucks, that's it exactly! j Come on, we gotta do like he asks, j We'll make a cow hand outer this i dude or die tryin'." ;' They returned to the camp where waited Johnny. "O. K., feller," Baldy said. "The boss allows we gotta make a cow hand outer yuh. Your first lesson is to get down off that flea-bitte- n nag you're and learn to stick on a real hoss." "Well," said Johnny, "I was won dering if I was going to have to ride this old crow bait." Chuck and Baldy exchanged meaning looks. Baldy went out to the corral and returned leading a sleek-lookin- g black that kept his ears laid back permanently just to show folks how he felt about any one who thought he could ride him. Confidently Johnny swung aboard while the two range riders climbed to the top rail of the corral fence. Baldy was a little nervous. The black, with Johnny astride him, suddenly galvanized into ac- - tion. It shot straight into the air and came down with all four legs as solid as gate posts. It sunfished and buckled and bucked. It got down and rolled over, brushed against the fence, reared on all fours, plunged and bucked some more. And presently, sweating and blowing, it stood docile and Johnny Howard was still on its back.. John-ny grinned at the d spectators. rpHE RANGE RIDERS rubbed their eyes. The thing that had ' ' happened was like an hallucination. S: " I CRDSSVVDRD PUZZLE iJLL L Mtil . p e pfJiT g g o s hTaw kTe nisi ojg A ; H an C PTC K o p i u wfetx - Ji 5. jS 1 f 2. Greedy 3.

That was the declaration of In-dia's prime minister Jawaharlal Nehru in a foreign policy speech in New York a few days after his arrival in the United States. He called upon the world to talk less of war and to think more of peace and how to attain it, and ad-monished both east and west that: "The very process of marshaling of the world into two hostile camps precipitates the conflict which it is sought to avoid. The Indian statesman's views were given in an address markin. ceremonies in which Columbia uni-versity made him an LLD. |
