THE POST-DEMOCRAT k Democratic weekly newspaper representing the Democrats of Muncie, Delaware County and the iOth iJongressional District. The only Democratic Newspaper in Delaware County. , Entered as second class matter January 15, 1921, %t the Post Office at Muncie, Indiana, under Act of March 3. 1879. PRICE 5 CENTS—$1.50 A YEAR * MRS. GEO. R. DALE, Publisher 916 West Main Street Muncie, Indiana, Friday, October 4, 1946. The Clock of Destiny Ticks Fast Gen. Dwight Eisenhower, in an interview published in Stars and Stripes, the Army newspaper, is quoted as saying that he is “convinced that the world cannot stand another global war and, as I see it, the thing to prevent such a tragedy happening is education.” v That is a constructive note Trom America’s foremost soldier. It is in keeping with what other serious-minded people have been thinking and doing. Dr. Robert Maynard Hutchins, chancellor of the University of Chicago, recently announced that he was taking a year’s leave of absence from his regular duties to lead a movement in adult education. Dr. Hutcnins feels it is necessary that people quickly come to understand the kind of world they live in if a global catastrophe is to be -averted. The New Yorker Magazine recently left out all of its usual articles, comment, reviews and cartoon to devote its entire space to the publication of John Mersey’s story of Hiroshima which is now appearing in The JournalGazette. Norman Cousins, editors of the Saturday Review of Literature, has suggested that all media of information and education declare a moratorium of “trivia” and try to create a new understanding of the modern world and how essential it is to have peace. Naturally, all these people are thinking of the atomic bomb, fast airplanes and other scientific inventions which are still in the works. If these inventions are used properly they can usher in the greatest period of progress in history. If they are used improperly, they may destroy civilization itself. It is not enough to scare people with the atomic bomb. The scare campaign has been going on for more than a year and the result is that most individuals are jittery. They act as though they lived perpetually in a haunted house. We have got to come out of the “haunted house stage” and Eisenhower, Hutchins. The New Yorker, and Norman Cousins are pointing the direction in which we should go. We have got to come to grip with the facts and do something about them. Maybe intelligence cannot find the way to peace, but it certainly ought to try, and try hard. As Anna O’Hara McCormick of the New York Times sees so clearly, diplomats and the men and women behind them must stop acting as if it were the day after Waterloo and begin to think in terms of the atomic bomb instead of in terms of cannon balls. We have only days, not centuries, to change the present course of short-sighted think-ing.--J ournal-Gazette.

Upton Close Wants More Money Through the courtesy of a friend, we have had a chance to read a “heart-to-heart” letter sent out by Upton Close, radio commentator. Mr. Close boasts that he has fought “New Dealism and dictatorial bossism in labor.” As a consequence, he has received $140,000 in contributions, and as our friend comments, “that ain’t hay.” Some firms, he says, have sent in as much as $10,'000 and individuals have “fed the kitty” to the tune of $1,000 each. “Sponsors” of that kind want Mr. Close to lambast labor unions, and he tries to make good. But Mr. Close needs more money and he needs it right away, and to those who hesitate he gives the assurance that “the Hatch Act and the Corrupt Practices Act do not apply” to his activities. In other words, you’ve invited to evade the law. It was Barnum who said “there’s a sucker born every minute.” In view of the fact that Mr. Close’s “shake-down” has produced $140,000, we submit that Barnum’s claim was an under-statement.-—“Labor.”

Representative Herbert J. McGlinehey, Democrat of Pennsylvania, urges all to register and vote, in a speech on the floor of the House: “If a ‘government of the people, by the people, and for the people’ is to be maintained, our citizens must not be indifferent about taking part in elections. In neglecting to register and vote they are failing to take advantage of a great privilege—the privilege of helping to select the type of representatives whom they feel would best protect their interests and fight for legislation that Will benefit not only a few selfish interests but the people of our country as a whole.”

Senator Claude Pepper, Democrat of Florida, gives his definition of “liberalism” in a recent magazine article; “liberalism is the greatest good for the greatest number of people. It is really a synonym for democracy, as Jefferson, Jackson, Wilson, and F. D. R., would have defined 'democracy.’ ”

War activities of the Interior Department greatly increased our fuel supply, added i,~ 0.00,000,000 tons to our known ore deposits, and increased our production of hydroelectric power many fold.

Practical Adult Education Professors at St. John’s College in Maryland, the University of Chicago, and elsewhere have helped project the ‘ Hundred Best Books” idea into the American educational picture. As a result, not only some of our undergraduates but also graduate students and persons who have long since left sheltered college halls for the work shops of the world have taken kindly to the idea that studying a few important works goes far toward implementing a real education. In the Held of adult education, particularly, the “Hundred Best Books” idea has much to offer. Most adults are too busy to attend regular classes, but they do have an hour or two a day in which they can familiarize themselves with the best writing by the greatest men. Thereby, self-improvement continues long after the last degree has been gained. And intellectual growth no longer need be stunted by the lack of nearby institutions of higher learning. What Abraham Lincoln did along this line is a case in point. Recently the Grolier Club published a list of “One Hundred Influential American Books.” Seventy of the titles came from the press prior to 1860, when Lincoln was elected President. And Dr. Louis A. Warren, authority on Lincoln and director in the Lincoln National Life Foundation in Fort Wayne, is authority for the statement that it is. almost certain that Lincoln read half of these 70 books. The effect of these thirty-five notable works on the thinking, the literary style, and the general intellectual development of President Lincoln can scarcely be measured. They helped transform a pioneer boy, who never had formal educational advantages comparable to those available today, into one of the outstanding minds of his own or any country. They put him not only on a par with, but well ahead of, graduates of the finest colleges in the United States or Europe. Yet all the time Lincoln was devouring the contents of these books, he was a busy boy, youth, or man. While he studied, he also worked. Abraham ^Lincoln’s achievements, in the field of literary production as well as in that of statesmanship, demonstrate for all time what can be done by one receptive student in the company of a few well-chosen books.— Journal-Gazette.

Some Soap Shortage Facts One war-born program which has escaped the discard thus far fortunately is the Fat Salvage Program. The Department of Agriculture currently is attempting to broaden the scope of the program in an effort to make it even more effective than it was during the

war years.

During the war the people were appealed to on a patriotic basis. Fats were needed for explosives. “Save your fats to save your skins,” was the general idea. Now we must continue to save O'Ur fats if we have any regard for the cleanliness of our skins. The soap scarcity is at its most critical point in years and there is little hope for relief in the months to come. In the years from 1937 to 1941 the United States imported more than two billion pounds of fats and oils annually. Japanese occupation of the Pacific Southwest deprived us of our major sources. When these sources were liberated, production and transportation facilities were left in such bad shape that imports will continue low for some time. Our bigest domestic source for fats and oils is the lard that is a by-product of hog slaughtering. With slaughtering at its present low ebb, the soap industry is practically without material. New fats and oils are so high in cost to the manufacturer that soap made from them would be prohibitive to the average consumer. Thus_, for the present, used fats are to be the chief source of soap. The outlook is so dark that at least one major soap company has dismissed almost its entire sales force. While soap is a critical item in nearly every American home today, it is not alone in its dependence on fats and oils . Paints, varnishes, enamels, synthetic rubber and textiles are among the many products depend-

ent on them.

Consumer studies show that three of every five women are co-operating in the fat salvage campaign. It is the aim of officials to yet induce the other two-fifths to co-operate in preventing a wholesale soap faminine of long duration. Naturally, there will be less fat salvage under current meat volumes. That is why it is more important than ever to save each can of fat available. If the patriotic approach to the problem fails to stir .you, put it on a personal basis.. Your individual contribution to the salvage program will put more soap into your house-hold.—Journal-Gazette.

Industrial hazards, venereal disease, cancer, malaria, and tuberculosis are some -of the many diseases now being attacked by the U. S. Public Health Service. Approximately 40,000 physically and mentally handicapped persons were rehabilitated into gainful employment during the 1945-46 During the 'thirties the Interior Department was thoroughly reorganized and revitalized by the Roosevelt Administration. Peacetime projects of the interior. Department include the exploration of 750,000 sq, miles of continental shelf, increased irrigation for Western lands, and the reconditioning of the National Parks for an expected 25,-. 00,000 visitors.

POST.PFMOrRAT, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 4, 1946.

New Hope for American Progressives | More than at any time since Roosevelt died, ! millions of- Americans who believed in the

: New Deal can take courage for the future. I The Conference of Progressives, held in ChiI cago over last weekend, laid the first founda1 tions for a new and powerful progressive political drive to redeem the nation from the grip of reaction. A he men and women who gathered for the conference were neither a group ol disgruntled has-beens nor a set of visioxiaries. Tney represented powerful organizations of labor unions, farmers and proiessionai people. They showed no disposition to tie themselves slavishly to either the Democratic or Republican party, yet tiiey caretully avoided a premature gallop into the morass of third-party experiments. Henry A. Wallace was absent, but the conference left no doubt about where it stood on his leadership wnen it asited him to “c<ury the light for peace to every doorstep in the nation.” Its program on domestic aifairs in sharp and clear—to put into effect the Roosevelt Economic Bill of Rights lor which the people voted in 1944 but which was sabotaged in the 79th Congress. The method recommended is equally clear—to Support progressives, of either party, so as to' wrest contro. of the 80th Congress from the tory coalition of conservative Northern Republicans and Southern Democrats. Many of the news stories emphasized the speeches by Harold L. Ickes and Philip Murray which expressed resentment at the sly maneuvers and contortions of American Communists. But what was equally remarkable was the fact that, having slapped at these twisting followers of the Kremlin line, the conference then proceeded to lay down its own affirmative recommendations for an American policy. It called for reduction of armaments, restoration of Big Three unity and the Good Neighbor approach. It spoke out against American and British imperialism as well as Russian imperialism. It attacked denials of democracy m our own land as well as elsewhere. It called for a rebirth of freedom all over the earth, including economic freedom* and a domestic and foreign policy which American progressives can support with singleness of pur-

pose.

The history of American politics is marked by many progressive upsurges. Few of them have been wholly successful but nearly all have had an influence on the country’s course. In recent years, new techniques have been developed by which the massed strength of > the people can be applied at the polls against the concentrated wealth and power of the reactionaries. No one at the Conference of Progressives, it may be assumed, overlooked the difliculties of the task immediately ahead. This is a nonpresidential year, and the vote in such elections is usually small. There is no president such as F.D.R. to speak to the hearts of the people. The primary elections are finished, and in many congressional districts it will not be easy to select a dependable progressive from the nominees of the Democratic and Republican Parties. But the hard job of consolidating progressive forces, agreeing on their common broad objectives, and setting forth upon the path ahead, has been begun. The strength of the new movement lies in its traditionally American, nondoctrinaire approach and potentially enormous mass base. It lies also in the conference recognition that, in our system, there is no substitute for hard Work at the precinct level to organize and educate the sovereign voters.—Chicago Sun.

dent in question recalls that his immediate predecessor was slain not long ago—and his body draped from a lamp in a public place. (This time, the assassin’s body hangs from a lamp, instead. This time, the chief execu-

tive is not hurt.)

So it has gone with heads of state from time immemorial. As Britain has had her William Rufus and Charles I, France her Henry of Navarre, and Russia her murdered Nicholas II, so the United States has had three assassinated Presidents — Abraham Lincoln, James A. Garfield, and William McKinley—and others (Andrew Jackson, Theodore and Franklin D. Roosevelt) on whom assassination attempts have been made. Long ago it was written that uneasy lies the head that wears the crown. Similarly, the brain of any prominent military or political leader ticks uneasily, because of the frequency of assassination attacks. That is part of the cost of leadership. That is a portion of the price paid by the great the near-great, and substitutes for the great

as a penalty of prominence.

Sometimes, if only in a negative sense, obscurity has its merits. Except in wartime, the “little fellow” is likely to move about with considerably more freedom and less fear than elected, heredity, or de facto rulers. In all probability, notwithstanding long lists of unsolved murders, many an average American breathes more easily today than .he monarch of modern Greece or Bolivia’s

chief executive.—J ournal-Gazette.

Tell Us More

The Republicans are heading into the congressional campaign with a sure-fire budgetary program. If elected they promise, to cut individual income taxes 20 per cent, wipe out the Treasury deficit and begin retiring

the national debt.

All of these things are desirable. But anybody who advocates them has an obligation to show how they can be achieved. During the current fiscal year the government expects to take in $39.6 billion and spend $41.5 billion. If a Republican Congress were to cut income taxes one-fifth* expenditures obviously would have to be slashed in order to leave the surplus they promise. We do not say it can’t be done. But the Republican campaigners should tell the people how

they promose that it shall be done.

Of the $41.5 billion current outgo, here are

some of the principal items:

$6.2 billion for veterans’ pensions and

this expenditure?

$5 billion for interest on the public debt, already at the lowest rate in history. How would the Republicans cut interest payments

naval establishment if elected?

The people are entitled to particulars. Gf course they would like a 20 per cent tax cut. But just how is it going to be achieved? -= ; -

Butter and Meat Those who blame price control for the current shortage of meat, and want to end the shortage by ending controls, should take a gander at the butter situation* recently analyzed for Sun readers by Ruth Moore of our Washington Bureau. Butter is one of the uncontrolled dairy products. Yet, despite an unprecedented rise in prices, production lags far behind demand. Housewives who are already paying from 80 to 95 cents a pound for butter, and not getting any more than they did under price control, may well ask, “Is it worth it?” Some advocate removing meat controls arc asking that butter be brought back under OPA. As it is, prices will continue to rise and stocks of blitter will be still further depleted. Eventually, the Price Decontrol Board will have to slap ceilings back on butter, but by that time there will be very little available due to the present “holiday.”. And once again, as in the meat situation, OPA will take the rap. Let’s quit dancing abound the mulberry bush. The fault is net GPA’s; The real culprits are the greedy special interests and their servants m Congress who .refused to face the issues last Jime^who hamstrung OPA and made real price control impossible.

George Norris’ Dream Comes True Were he alive today, the late Senator Geo. Norris, great Nebraska Progressive, would have been thrilled by a recent development in the state he loved. A program which he conceived and for which he labored many years became a reality when the Omaha Public Power District entered into an agreement to purchase the Nebraska Power Company from the Omaha Electric Committee, Inc. The committee is composed of a group of Omaha citizens who purdhased control of the utility in December, 1.944, from the American Power and Light Company, with the understanding it would eventually be turned over to the district; The significance of the transaction is that it brings all public power properties in Nebraska under public ownership — the only state where this desirable objective lias been realized.
