‘The Let-Down :
QNLY TWO months ago, Defense Secretary Marshall has just told Congress, he was being criticized for not asking a strength of five or six million men in the Armed Forces. “Today,” he added, “the atmosphere is quite different. Now the questions are, not how much more we need, but why we are asking so much.” Drawing on an old soldier's memories, Gen. Marshall went on: »Slrti “I saw the Army disintegrate in Gen. Pershing’s lap after World War I. .T saw the Selective Service Law come within one vote of repeal only a few months before Pearl Harbor. 1 saw us cast aside our strength again after VJDay. “These things are familiar to me. But I must confess I was not prepared for the speed with which the present shift in sentiment has developed.” Gen, Marshall is correct. » r ” THERE has Deen a. swift — and deadly dangerous — shift -in sentiment. Its effects are evident not only in Congress and the administration but throughout the country; In the time wasted in quibbling about whether the draft age shall be lowered to 184, years rather than 18 and delay in voting ‘Higher taxes; In the squabbling over how the. defense mobilization and the war against inflation shall be conducted; . ~~ In the govérnment’s irresolute attitude toward pressing problems. That sense of terrible urgency" which was strong after the first reverses in Korea, which revived when the Chinese * Reds came into the War — that has dwindled and all but disappeared. ei Rp In its place there® has grown a feeling of optimism— foolish optimism without foundation. Our country’s peril is no less real than it was two months ago. The threat of a third world war is no less great. - The problems of defense and industrial mobilization and eontrol of fuflatior are no less grave : Fe .

. playing thelr game. Our goal is not to fight and win another world- wide war—unless we must. Our true goal is to prevent another world-wide war. Our hope of attaining that goal depends upon develop- ~ ing with utmost speed such actual and potentially ready ‘military strength that Soviet Russia will not dare risk forcing us to fight We can't do that by feeble, half-hearted efforts.
‘Sweet Adeline’
AT NIGHT (dear heart), for her more people pine; and in all their dreams her fair face beams—brightest and most lingeringly among the.song heroines of American history. The man who wrote the music for “Sweet Adeline” died this week in New York at the age of 72. Harry Armstrong had a hard time peddling the haunting lyric he composed when he was 17. He first called his tune My Old New England Home,” and then “Sweet Rosalie.” But he never hit the jackpot until he changed it to “Adeline,” with that fine last syllable which has been a seventh heaven for warbling tenors for half a century. In-that time a lot of experts have tried to analyze “Sweet Adeline's” peculiar fascination for barroom wailers, barbershop quartets and impromptu party choruses. Dr. Sigmund Spaeth, the music historian, says its unrivaled popularity comes from the fact that it is a perfect example of the echo effect in close harmony. Mark Sullivan, another historian, lauds its coneentrated love sentiment. But mostly, it inspires good fellowship—with or without tonsil lubricant. If there is, as some allege, a special niche for the writers of a nation's songs a little above the writers of the nation’s laws, surely Harry Armstrong belongs there.
Fine Example
HE American Farm Bureau Federation takes a laudable stand on renewal of the Reciprocal Trade Agreements Law. This biggest farm organization has urged the Senate Finance Committee to reject a House-approved plan for canceling tariff concessions in imported farm products selling below the -U. S.-government’s support prices. ~ Instead of aiding American farmers, the federation says, it could boomerang against them, since other countries could take similar action against American farm ~ products. ~The House plan was aimed primarily at Canadian “potatoes which- were pouring into this country when our own government was supporting potato prices. . But, if we hit at Canada through this plan, Canada could hit back with harder blows at our much larger agricultural exports to her. "The Farm Bureau Federation ‘sets a good example for all the special interest groups which have been seeking for their products “protection” which would hurt other American producers.
One-Trouser Suits A NEW YORK clothing company executive already is urging that manufacturers save cloth by eliminating the two-trouser suit, vests and trouser cuffs.
One of the stupidest moves during World War II was"
to deny the privilege of buying an extra pair of trousers with a suit. A suit with two pairs of trousers will last the average man as long as two or threé onme-trouser suits. .Examination of any old clothes closet with an array of unused coats and vests will prove this statement. ; But the nation does not save cloth if {wo-trouser suits are banned. The nation loses. And so-does the consumer,

I have been following your accounts of the activities of the Commun®st Party here in Indiana and I just burn to think that a bunch of foreign scum is allowed to spread their hatecampaign in a land as great as ours.

$1000 Cigar ORDINARILY mild and pla. ! ¢ Lig men, Mr. Wilson can shout and pound tables when the occasion requires. The sessions of the past week or so were such an occasion. But usually his eyes twinkle from behind his glasses —defective vision kept him out of World War I -—and he is as much a jovial friend of President Truman personally as he is a Republican opponent in politics. Here is a story Mr. Wilson doesn’t mind telling about himself: A banker neighbor-in Scarsdale angrily called up one night saying he was preparing for a cocktail party, his GE refrigerator had gone haywire, and the ice cubes were melting. A repairman couldn't be found. Confound General Electric, anyhow. Mr. Wilson put on overalls, drove to .the banker's home. At the kitchen door he announced himself as the refrigerator 'man. He bent down, saw that the electric plug had been pulled out, stuck it back in and things began to hum. Later he sent the banker a service bill for $1000, but settled for a cigar.

MR. EDITOR:
We appreciate Mr, Leibowitz visit to our organization in an attempt to learn more about it. We are very much interested in his articles on “The Red Front in Indiana.” He 1s to be complimented on his sane approach to the problem of Communist fifth column activities. In the war hysteria, some commentators and papers (as weil as Senators) seem inclined to brand all.groups which do not go along with their views . as what is right for the nation, as Red. This in itself is a threat to the very democracy we seek to preserve. . «+ There is no question but what the dictatorship of totalitarian Russia does have people who would like to overthrow democracy. We do need to be informed of them and of their plans, It is possible Mr. Leibowitz came over to get the facts about American Youth for FPoliticalwn Action because someong may have sald since we supported racial equality and peace, and the Communists do too, that we therefore were a front group. .

‘Truth About Welfare’ MR. EDITOR:
I am asked almost every day, by people who are interested in the welfare problem, why so many names on the welfare roll and why so great the cost in ‘this time of prosperity. After working with these people for years in tHe ‘practice of medicine, we think we can see a “number of reasons for the existing condition. ONE: This span of life has been lengthened by 10 years in the past 15 years. The medical profession {is responsible for this, yet it feels that it should not be criticized for this for the profession takes pride in it. TWO: The agencies furnishing employment for the masses are limiting the age to 30-35 years. As many of these industries are of recent years, this does not relieve the older generation. This means that a great number will be idle for 20 years or more. THREE: The rising cort of living has forced the welfare to + extend its cases considerably to even furnish the necessities of Jife added some and the cost of fuel almost double. FOUR: The medical care of the masses has increased greatly for age brings illness and disability and need for care. FIVE: The great number of divorces cause many dependent children who are almost entirely the burden of the mother. The courts attempt to place the cost of maintenance upon the fathers, but few receive it for but a limited time and they are lost for the family, These are the main causes but several others could be named. They are the\result of modern living and will probably increase in--stead of decrease for several years.
MUCH criticism "s upon the Welfare Department for its recipients’ spending but many “bf them are of limited intelligence

Austin, MD,, Bloomington.
MR. EDITOR: As one friend to another, let us talk about welfare, I have been trying out the ‘effect on some of our ‘voters of two of the world - shattering incidents revealed to us; the purchase of graduation rings and clothes, and the two old people who were buying the $4000 property. The reaction to the first was what you would expect from people interested in our young folks. They want our young people to have suitable gradua-
“tion attire and do not begrudge
the money spent any more than they would money to give needy people a happy Christmas. Ne SO “AS TO the old folks there was a bit of surprise and a twinkle in the: eyes as the voters made some such remarks as: “Well, if the old skeesix at 80 had that much enterprise, I'd almost say let him have the money.” The cases cited represent such a very small fraction of the money “spent for welfare that one wonders at the fuss made about them. If we are serious about the increase in the cost of welfare let us study the situation. Some of the most striking reasons face the housewife every day she does her shopping, If she realizes that the average monthly welfare check is $35.87 she must surely think,
“How in the world do old people
dive on an income like that?” For other reasons not quite so apparent let us study some
statistics, “W& Daven Indiana Susie. are still many families

‘Gunther Was Right’ MR. EDITOR:
J. G. Mingle of the Bureau of Air Pollution Prevention stuck his neck out in his letter of Feb. 19. So I am going to do just what hundreds, or perhaps thousands, of smoke-choked, dirty-collared “dirtiest - city” residents will feel like doing. I am going to tell him. quite frankly that he is not doing his job. Mr. Gunther was right as far as I'm concerned. Indianapolis is the dirtiest city I have seen. However, I haven't seen them all. It is entirely possible that one exists which is dirtier, but it is a safe bet that the air pollution prevention officials are working on it, or at least can see the dirt. I don't say this out of malice. I was born a Hoosier and have spent most of my time in Indiana, much in Indianapolis.
