' WASHINGTON, Mar. 10—Price Stabilizer Mike DiSalle was out in Cleveland recently explaining his price theories. “You'll have to show me, I'm from Missouri!” shouted one fellow. : “Over half the people I meet in Washington are from Missouri,” replied Mike. Mike's wit keeps his tough job from being boring. When I came into his office here, the plump little ex-mayor of Toledo was talking on the phone to a friend about some protest that had just been received. “It wasn't anything serious,” Mike laughed. * “They just accused us of deceit and of commit. ting a fraud on the people.” * © o

SINCE I'd met him at Toots Shor’s a couple of years ago. he'd been Mike. “The surprising thing is the limited number of complaints we get. I was telling my staff we get about 300 a day—we used to get that many garbage complaints in Toledo,” he said. ee ¢ ¢ “WHAT ABOUT buying shoes, clothes and 8 such necessities of life as whisky?” I asked Mike. “We going to have a black market?” “There's no black market going to get out of hand,” Mike said, gravely. “We'll have 4000 enforcement people by the end of June, “Our head man, Ed Morgan, has trained 5000 FBI men. “Rationing? Nothing to it.” “I heard about a fellow who managed some way to get a new Cadillac by paying somebody practically $1000 over,” I said. - “We would like to get one case like that” Mike said. “The seller would certainly be sent to jail.” % ; ~ % ¢ oo & " MIKE, who was dressed in a brown ensemble, spent a lot of time taking important calls. He sald between calls that price conditions generally may be divided into three states. #Confusion, less confusion and more confusion,” he said. “T don’t expect to be perfect,” Mike continued. “It only takes 70 to pass and if I get a condition it'll be good here.” * < o ‘MIKE works through to midnight. He left his family behind in Toledo. “I figured the best way to do this job was % come down here light—two suitcases,” he said. Mike brought out a long Marsh Wheeling cigar— "Dare you to smoke one,” he said. I managed. They used to be three for a dime, now they're 8c each. When a reporter asked Mike whether he'd stabilize the price of cigars, Mike said, “The price has been pretty stable for a long time.

Woodcuts to lllustrate Series

By EMMA RIVERS MILNER Times Church Editer An 82-year-old Bible scholar of present-day America wrote “A Life of Jesus,” recently pub-

. lished by Harper & Brothers,

from which has been taken a series of 13 articles for publica tion in The Times. The first appears on this page. Ho! The work of the scholar, Dr Edgar Johnson Goodspeed, will be enhanced by woodcuts done by the 15th century German artist, Albrecht Duerer. Duerer was born in Nuremberg in 1471 and died in 1528. With each of the daily installments of the “Life of Jesus” a photograph of a woodcut by Duerer will appear. All of the woodcuts except one are included in a group called, “The Little Passion Series.” The John Herron Institute owns them all. An outstanding self portrait done by Duerer bears a striking resemblance to a certain conventional conception of Christ. The brow, the eyes, the length of the face and the flowing hair all suggest pictures we have seen of Jesus. But the mouth will be observed to belong only to Duerer. Mr. Goodspeed, author of the articles, has written 368 books and has collaborated “on 12 others. His most famous work is “The New Testament: An

GOP Lawmakers Fail on Some Promises, But Can Point With Pride to Others By NOBLE REED HERE IS usually a big difference between what the politicians promise the people and their actual performance in the showdown of action. In this, the 1951 General Assembly was no excep-

tion.

A great many promises made by the Republican ma-

jority leaders of the legislature were not fulfilled.

Some of the promises failed because a few of the majority members deserted the party leadership at the last minute and others failed simply because the leaders themselves changed their minds in the light information,”

of “new more often referred to as “lobby pressure.”

But the failures were offsetin a large measure, GOP leaders contend, by a long list of promises fulfilled or partially carried out in many instances.

DEMOCRATIC minority members of the legislature got none of their program passed but went along with some of

| the GOP legislation that came

nearest their platform and received credit politically for this strategy. In labor issues, for instance, the Democratic minority voted for the GOP program when it became apparent that its own bills couldn't pass. And labor followers of the Democratic platform backed up the minority in this on the basis that half a loaf is better than none.

SOME of the promises made by the GOP majority leadership at the beginning of the session that flopped along the way included: ONE: * A pledge to restore home rule to cities and towns by giving them full taxing powers and lifting their bonding limits. This was done In only a few, isolated instances. Most of the legislature's restrictions were kept on the cities. TWO: Plans to start construction of a new state office building. This bill was buried in a GOPscontrolled committee. THREE: A promise to fix speed limits for Indiana highways as a move toward -reducing fatal accidents. The bill failed to pass in two -attempts on the floor of the House & 18

FOUR: A pledge to pass a law imposing mandatory jail sentences on motorists convicted of drunken driving, This was killed in the Senate after passing the House. A similar bill for mandatory jail terms

hearers stood. His disciples understand His action and gather about Him, and He opens His lips to teach them. What 1s the meaning of this elaborate introduction, with its strange setting-on the mountafn—and its almost pontifical climax: ‘He opened His lips to teach them?”

Of course it means that what He is now about to say is of the utmost importance and. value. for the reference to the mountain would recall at once to the Jewish mind another great religious teacher, who went up on the mountain—and came down with the tables of the Law!

WE DO NOT ordinarily think of Jesus as a poet, but the Sermon on the Mount begins with a poem. For the Beatitudes are certainly a psalm. .Think of how often this ecstatic use of “Blessed” appears in the poetry of the Old Testament! Blessed is the man

Blessed 1s the people. . . . Blessed are they, . . . Blessed are you. ., . It is found a score of times in the poetry of Isaiah, thé Proverbs, but especially, of course, the Psalms. Certainly, the Beatitudes are the Psalm of Jesus: Blessed are those who ‘eel their spiritual need, for the ilingdom of Heaven belongs to them! Blessed are the mourners, for they will be consoled! Blessed are the humble-nfinded, for. they ' will ‘possess the land! ey Blessed are those who are hungry and thirsty fer uprightness, for they will be satisfled! Blessed are the merciful, for they will. be shawn mercy! Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will sse God! Blessed are the pcace-makers, for they will be ealled God's sons! Blessed are those who have endured persecution for their uprightness, for vhe Kingdom of Heaven oelongs to them! Blessed are you when people abuse you, and persecute you, and falsely say everything bad of you, on My account! Be glad and exit over it, for «-- you will be richly rewardasd in Heaven! For that is thé way they persecuted the prophets, who went before you! While the sermon is to some extent colored by the times when the Gospel of Matthew was written, it still brings us with amazing vividness into the very presence of Jesus. His

. FIVE: A Republican Policy Committee decision to support bills to abolish several state bureaus including, the Traffic Safety Commission, the State Economie Council and the Commission on Commerce and Public Relations. All of them failed.

SIX: A plan to continue theo 1-cent War Memorial tax to remove two churches from the Memorial Plaza. It died in committee. SEVEN: Bills to improve operation of mental hospitals— killed except giving employees $15 a month raise in wages.
