Zepbamab 2: 3 Z EPHANIAH, who labored about the time' that Jeremiah did. and not long before Judah, -was carried into captivity, was greatly concerned abut the corruption o f Judah and he strove to bring the people to repentance. But they were slow to hear and they failed to heed what the prophet declared. As a consequence, they were soon carried as exiles into Babylon. So we find the prophet warning the people against their evil ways and urging them to return unto God. The Lord declares that he will search out Jerusalem, and in the great day of Jehovah the silver and gold of the people will not save them and the whole land will be devoured if: they do not repent. In the third chapter Zephaniah seemingly looks beyond the 70 w ll be worn out before we get them paid for. That is what has years of captivity to a brighter been happening all the time.

I n Congress W ith a Buckeye CLARENCE J. BROWN W rites ‘ The congress has completed legislative action and sent to the president a bill extending, until June 30, 1951, the time when “ displaced persons” from Europe can be admitted to this country outside o f the normal immigra­ tion quotas j and increasing the number to be admitted from 205,- 000 as provided in the original law, to 341,000. Re-arm Germany? Soon a fter World W a r I I ended the administration announced a policy o f destroying all German industrial plants capable o f pro­ ducing war material and'making Germany over into a pastoral or agricultural state. Last week Gen- Omar N . Bradley, chief of the joints chiefs o f staff, advised a congressional committee the re­ arming o f Germany would he of great benefit to the defense <\f western Europe and America from Russian aggression. A few days later Secretary o f State Acheson =appeared before another con­ gressional legislative committee and insisted Western Germany would not he rearmed. In the meantime, reports come from Western Germany o f the creation, o f a hew 25,000 man police force. N o wonder the congress and the American people generally are eonfused as to our international policies.

That they are in good running order is a must. WH ITEWASH The administration’s attitude towards every hint o f disloyalty in the government on the part of employes is a shush-shush, tut- days agone there was a theory tut dismissal o f the subject. In that “ the king can do no wrong.” ■is the idea being revived?” UNDEREST IMAT ION Nothing increases weakness more than pooh-poohing things that produce it. Every person can cite examples in his personal ex­ perience or observation. We had Dewey, with a GOP overconfi­ dence. W e’ve seen hall games lost because the team underesti­ mated the ^opponents. W e’ve all heard aboufthe push-overs enemy nations would be in case o f wav. There are no push-overs, no weak enemies. Russia is strong, rugged, ruthless and warlike. Don't un­ derestimate Russia. W E CAN A L L LAUGH Laughing at ourselves is: an American trait—and privilege, An example o f it was the near breaking up o f Dr. I. Q’s radio party when he asked a contest­ ant a. question and got the wrong answer. “ What candidate fo r the presidency seven times has an­ nounced that he w ill not run this yea r? ” Dr. I. Q. asked. “ Dewey!” shouted the contestant!

The old fellow was brushed o ff as too old-fashioned. PARAGRAPHS What the GOP needs is a rear platform, like Truman’s. Until the GOP finds out what is the matter with its party the Democrats w ill he happy. What’s become o f the brave, new world?

To Senate A t least two more house mem­ bers are slated to follow Rep. George Smathers o f Florida, who defeated Senator Pepper, over to the senate next January. Last Tuesday Francis Case, a veteran o f .4 years’ service in the house, was nominated fo r the senate :n South Dakota to succeed Senator Chan Gurney, while in Califor­ nia Rep. Helen Gahagan Douglas. Democrat, and Rep. Richard N ix ­ on, Republican,, were nominated fo r the. senate by the respective parties, with one sure to be elect­ ed—probably Nixon. Ren Control Vote Before this column appears in print the congress probably will have passed upon the question-as to whether federal rent control is to be continued until next Jan. and perhaps fo r one year under an optional arrangement, or !s to end at midnight June 3Q. The votes in both house and senate are expected to be close on the administration measure— a weak, face-saving compromise offered in an effort to get some rent control extension. Hunt Revenue The ways and means commit­ tee o f the house has voted to adopt officially the tentative ac­ tions taken during past weeks to reduce federal excise taxes by $1.1- billion a year. The commit­ tee is now attempting to find means to make up the loss in revenue resulting from the excise tax reductions. President Tru­ man has made it clear he will veto the hill unless new revenues are found, and many congression­ al leaders are predicting there is a strong probability no tax re­ lie f legislation will be enacted at this session o f congress.

Remington Case Another “ red herring” was brought to light last Thursday when a grand jury in New York indicted William W. Remington, a high ranking official o f the department o f commerce, fo r per­ jury in denying under oath that he had ever been a Communist. Remington, you will remember was named by Elizabeth Bentley, confessed Communist courier, ns a Communist contact during the war, but was later cleared by the presidential loyalty board, which ordered him restored to dutv- Then a few weeks ago the house unAmerican activities commit­ tee brought to light more infor­ mation as to Remington’s Com­ munist connection—-the FB I went into action and the grand jury indictment resulted. The same grand jury is also investigating the famous Amerusia case invol- vmg the small-circulation ma£•*■ zme office with huge photostat­ ing and copying facilities in which were found hundreds of secret documents and military plans during the war. The affair was hushed up, important offi­ cials involved were whitewashed, and small fines were levied a- gainst two magazine writers. Hoover Testifies J. Edgar Hoover, head of t^e federal bureau o f investigation, testified before a senate‘Commit- tee last week that the United States is mow in more danger from the subversive and spying activities o f Communists than it was from all such enemy activi­ ties in World War II. The FB I WASHINGTON REPORT BY SENATOR ROBERT A. TAFT % T HE main political news of the last week concerned the President’s 6,000-mile trip. The trip started out to be non­ political, but in his Chicago speech the President admitted that he had been on a 10-day crusade to elect an 82nd Congress in November which would do his bidding in every respect. He wants every obstructionist removed from Congress. As I under­ stand it, nearly every Republican $- from the President’s point of view is an obstructionist., , True, w e already have a Demo­ cratic Congress, but i t w o n ’ t pass the social­ istic measures which Mr. Tru­ man has long advocated, and so he want s elected a Con­ gress s ub s e r ­ v i ent t q him, p r e p a r e d to rubber stamp the whole pro­ gram. This is a good deal to ask of any people, and no President who adopted that policy has ever succeeded. A lot of those who feel friendly to Mr. Truman would rather have an independent Congress than ofie he could dominate. During his trip, Mr. Truman ad­ vocated passage of the Brannan Plan, the national compulsory health insurance plan, and repeal of the Taft-Hartley Law. Outside o f that, he was prepared to prom­ ise something to everybody: parity prices to the farmer, unlimited loans to little business, free medi­ cine to all, free land through gov­ ernment reclamation, unlimited power to labor unions to obtain any wage they desire, free gifts to the entire world. No people In this world ever got something for nothing, and they would pay bitterly for these supposedly free services in inflation and depression. * The President wants to bring the government into every field of individual and community and national life. Our governments are already spending more money than we have ever spent in peace­ time, more than 25 per cent of the riatiorial income. The Federal Gov­ ernment is spending almost twice as big a proportion o f our income as it did before the last war. The Federal Government is the big­ gest monopoly and the biggest spending institution in the world. The public debt stands at $256. billion and is increasing at the rate o f $6 billion a year. Every time the sun sets', our government is $15 million deeper in debt. How long can it last? * * • Ji/fR. TRUMAN, in continuing his campaign to repeal the Taft- T HE STORY OF THE UGLY DUCKLING has perhaps touched more hearts than any other fairy tale ever written. This is because most of us as children had mo­ ments of feeling unappreciated when the tale of the despised duck­ ling who turned out to be a swan was balm to our smarting egos. Now these temporary mo­ ments of feeling unimportant to the family arc inevitable and perhaps do ns more good than barm, for can yen ima­ gine anything less desirable than growing up feeling worthy every second? Ne self-search- : ing, no need for resolving to improve oneself--Is oar opin­ ion that would be like living in a climate where there were never any weather changes. But feeling that one is an ugly duckling for days and weeks and years at a time is something else again. Such an experience may do a swan no harm but it is soul sear­ ing to a human being. That is why parents should try to make their less attractive or less gifted chil­ dren feel as important and wel­ come as their handsomer or smart­ er brothers and sisters. This is done by bringing out and making much of their good points, but not in so obvious a way as to make the child realize that you are com­ pensating for shortcomings o f per­ sonality. Just s o c k heavy - handed methods were once used b y , conscientious parents. For ex- ' ample, the homely child was dressed more plainly than the others, hair pulled back in tbs most unbecoming manner, and to make up for this, virtues were extolled. “Ellen Isn’t pretty, but she is so good to children” —or “Bob is unattractive but he gets 98 in arithmetic.” Gen­ erations of children seethed in­ side over these well meant re­ marks. Taking this matter of looks alone, it is possible nowadays to spare a child most of the distress of being less well favored than other chil­ dren. Youngsters aren’t particulars ly critical of their own features, but they can be ihiserably con­ scious of an unbecoming dress, especially if they don’t like the color or the length. Extra thought, a little more money, considerably more time spent in dressing the least pretty of your children will often save that child the knowl*' edge of being different. But won’t he or she have to learn someday that others in the family got most of the good looks? Certainly, but by then they can take it if in childhood they have felt equally cher­ ished. And by then, too, there’s so much they can do abont it! A ll a homely girl has to do today is wear more enchanting hats, bigger earrings, a more stunning hair-do or more care­ fully chosen colors than her j sisters to be considered the smartest looking in the family* For it isn’t the fact of having a big nose or spreading mouth or - fireckles that harms a child’ s ego. . It’s the parents’ unspoken disap­ pointment, “ Oh, dear, Sally would have Aunt Nellie’ s ghastly nose," that brings realization of their plight. The least attractive child I ever knew was treated1 by her mother as if she were beautiful. I don’ t mean in a silliy, vain sense, but with the same emphasis on in­ stalling graciousness of manner, care in grooming and awareness of • good taste that the mother would have devoted to prettier child. has the names o f over 54,000 In Chautauqua, N .

Hartley Law , would restore to union officials the most complete special privilege any law has ever given in this country. Before the Taft-Hartley Law union officials were not liable on their contracts. They weren’t liable for the acts of their agents. They weren’t ' liable for damages to those they injured or put out o f business. They weren’t liable to their own mem­ bers. Workingmen who defied them could, be driven, from the union and from their jobs. The union officials weren’t liable to the Nation itself fo r strikes which crippled the economy and threat­ ened the safety and health of 150 million people. The Taft- Hartley Law is based • on free collective ^bargaining and freedom to strike. T t pro­ tects the workman against arbi­ trary treatment by bis labor union bosses. It is wholly wrong to say, as the President said, that the Taft-Hartley Law in­ fringes the basic freedom to bargain collectively. O f course, no one w ill believe 'h is claim that it has undermined the strength of labor unions. 'T ’H E President said a good deal x about giving the facts to the people and trusting the people if they knew the facts, but the one thing this A d m in is t r a t io n has stood against is the revelation oi any facts which might reflect on its past policy. The investigation of the Hiss case was hamstrung by the President’s shouts of “ red herring.” Nobody is to see any files i f the President can help it The issue before the people is whether in 1952 we elect a Con­ gress which, w ill rubber stamp all o f'M r . Truman’s policy, or whether we have an independ­ ent Congress determined to make progress on the principles o f liberty and a proper .Incen­ tive fo r ability, hard work and genius. ' , These are the principles which have made possible the tremen­ dous development o f our economic life. These are ‘ the principles which have given us the highest standard of living in the world. They are the only principles on which w e can hope to go forward toward those Utopian goals of which Mr. Truman is so. fond of talking.
