BROWN Writes By a yatg of 36 to 28, the sen­ ate early last week passed a bill to extend federal rent control in areas now covered until Dec. 31 o f this year, or up *to June 80 *-.f 1951 in states or municipalities requesting an additional 6 month's extension. A day later the house, by a vote of 202 to 163, passed a similar bill to continue federal rent control 7 months, instead o f 6 . or until Feb. 1, with a pos­ sible additional extension to June 30. The conference commit­ tee named to work out the differ­ ences between the house and sen­ ate versions is expected to ap­ prove the senate bill, which the president will sign into law propt- ly. Under the senate bill, rent control would end Dec. 31 in all areas where the local officials do not officially request its con­ tinuance to June 30, 1951. Some states and citites have alreaady passe d rent control laws in .n- tieipation o f the end o f federal controls. Selective Service Act While the house recently passed a modified selective service bill,' requiring only the registration and nominal classification of 18 years olds, and prohibiting their induction into military service until congress takes further leg­ islative action, the senate last week approved a bill to extend the present selective service act for three years, with registrants W As stubborn as some folks are pity upon the thousands in the city they may continue to say that all this ttjlk about communists in. the government and stretegie in­ dustries is a “ red herring.” But with the FBI’s latest report that the potential strength o f the com­ munists in this country is 540,- 000—with a certain 54,000 actual Reds and not fewer than 100,- 000 fellow travelers and sympa­ thizers, To your and our way of thinking that is as serious as a situation can become, and we don’t like any o f this ignoring the issue or whitewashing sus­ pects.

RUBBER A warning is being issued a- gainst symptoms o f curtailment o f rubber supplies. Communists are trying to divert natural rub­ ber from USA. Economists for- see the possibility o f our being caught again with rubber sources cut o ff. We have slowed up or dried up our synthetic rubber production.

SLOTS ODDS A professor at Kent State uni­ versity got a set of innards of a slot machine and calculated mathematically the odds, he found 8,000 combinations pos­ sibles To effect all the 8,000 combinations the operator would have to spend $400. The highest possible return would be $258.- 80; o f $141.20 less than he spent. This is calculated on a machine that has not been set for ad­ vantages to the “ house.” But the professor’s correct analysis does not prevent some one from put­ ting a quarter in the thing and getting a lapful o f quarters, and it is this possibility that keeps the long line o f persons at the slot machines.

Carnegie GREETINGS FROM ERIDU Biggeruppers have partially un- : covered Eridu, the world’s o ldest, city. It is 1 in Iraq, and is over 6,500 years old.

Will Aid Re-Arming Despite statements to the con­ trary by Secretary of State Ache- son, it is- becoming more and more apparent the United States will soon participate in the re­ arming of western Germany to help prevent possible Russian ag­ gression. Six years ago we were sending arms and billions of dol­ lars to Russia to help crush Ger­ man military might. In the past American men have usually fol­ lowed American money and Amer­ ican guns to foreign shores. Amerasia Case Twenty-one senators have join­ ed in demanding a separate in­ vestigation ° f the famoia Amer­ asia case, in which hundreds of secret war documents were found in a small “ left-wing” magazine office in New York. The 21 sen­ ators want to know why so many efforts have been made to cover up, or whitewash, the case. Phil­ lip Jaffe, the editor of the maga­ zine, who pleaded guilty and paid a fine while high government of- .* ficials were permitted to go free, refuse d to testify before the Tydings committee last week on the grounds his testimony might incriminate him. Late last week a New York grand jury in its re­ port urged the naming of a new special grand ju iy to go into the Amerasia case thoroughly. Gambling Investigated At the time the special Kefau- ver committee was named by vice President Barkley, after he had broken the tie to authorize the committee, it was predicted the crime investigation would be con­ ducted on a political basis. Nu­ merous stories have already come out as to crime, in Luzerne coun­ ty, Pennsylvania, home of Judge Fine, Republican candidate for governor; about gambling in Cin­ cinnati, a Republican city; and crime in Philadelphia, another Republican stronghold; but some­ how or other the committee has not yet looked into the crime situation in Kansas City, where there have been numerous gang murders in recent years; or'Chi­ cago, or New York, or'any 0f the ' other big cities have pro-admin­ istration political organizaztions. H. R. 8083, a bill authorizing the export-import bank to guar­ antee up to $250 million Ameri­ can investments made abroad un­ der the president’s point four program, is scheduled to come to a vote in the house the second week in July. The measure, which had been turned down by the lules committee some time ago, was finally cleared for fi00r c- tion last week. Users of colored oleomargar­ ine, m Ohio and other states where it^ sale is permitted should be able to purchase the product for 10 cents a pound less on and after July 1 than at present. Several months ago congress passed a law repaling the 10 cent- a-pound federal tax on colored margarine and the 1-4 cent-a- pound tax on the uncolored pro* duai,. ConsumeY's should insist upon having !this tax reduction passed on. By the time this column ap- pe,ar* “ Print, the senate is scheduled to approve its version of the social security bill which pass ed the house last October. The senate is expected to write h number of amendments into the house measure. One will pro­ tect present state and local .re­ tirement funds. Another will elim­ inate the house provision to pay insurance benefits to the totally YOUNG PEOPLE ATTEND RALLY Several Young people of the -U.

D O YOU EVER FIND youiself giving a child his own way as a sort of revenge? You probably tell yourself it is tor his own good —but is it? . Remember w h e n Julie stormed and stormed about, having to practice her piano lesson—and so you said, “ All right, if you hate so to prac­ tice we’ll stop music lessons.’ ’ Now Julie is 17 and has no Interest In music, a sort of arid place in her life that may never be filled. Wouldn’fc It have been better, back when she was 12 , to find out why she hated to practice? Maybe she had the wrong teacher; maybe the piano was the wrong Instru­ ment tor her. Perhaps if you had tried giv­ ing Julie violin lessons or a choice among the wind instru­ ments you might have had bet­ ter results. Musical instru­ ments can be rented so you don’t have to invest In various ones to find where your child's interest lies. Or, if you had Interested her In singing in a choral group, music would at least have remained a part of her life.° But no, you let her have her own way, immature as her judgment was, and per­ haps without realizing It you got a kind of “ she’ll he sorry” satisfaction out of your act. ' This is the sort 6 £ childish quirk most of us carry well into maturity —and parents, being young them­ selves, must be on guard against them when dealing with their chil dren. Choosing the proper punish­ ment for a Child’s misdeeds pre­ sents many such pitfalls. For ex­ ample, you’ve been told that a child must learn from his own ex­ perience, so when Jimmy Is ha­ bitually late you make up your mind that you’ll let him suffer from his tardiness. But some latenesses are too high a price for a child to pay for a fault it sometimes takes years to correct. So If it’s a matter of being lata to the movies, let Jimmy suffer the consequences, which in this case means missing the beginning of the picture. But if he sings in the junior choir at church and the price of being tardy is being put out of the choir, it would be pretty drastic to leave his arriving on time entirely up to the boy. Sometimes a parent simply doesn’t know which course to pursue. Take the painful ex­ perience of trying to get a boy to dress up during those years when his untidiness seems be­ yond your worst imaginings. ■ You’ve b e e n warned against letting- your own pride in a neat looking family make un­ due demands on your children in the scrubbing up depart­ ment. Why not use this guage? If Jimmy doesn't look any more unkempt than the boys~ he plays with, let cleanliness remain a matter of hygiene- clean hands before meals and a bath at bedtime — with no * fussing about flying shirt tails > and unruly hair. But if Jimmy : looks like a neglected orphan ' among his friends, you may be sure he is aware of that differ­ ence. . And the chances are he is un­ comfortable over his rag-tag looks • and merely pretends he doesn’t want to conform. Then is the time to offer a gaudy new shirt or a pair of slick flannel pants—some­ thing he can accept as not being too much mother’s taste, yet be­ coming enough to make him feel at home with his friends. disabled, A third will slightly in­ benefits to retired workers or "crease, above the house' figures, their survivors.
