How Much Can Prices Be Talked Down? , The wave of voluntary price reductions across the country, in response to President Truman's plea for lower' living costs, is dramatic and encouraging. Every little bit helps. But the weight of informed opinion is against hopes that this campaign alcne will produce lasting effects. That is the opinion, for instance, of Chester Bowles whom business disliked so much when he was OPA administrator. He has pointed out in a New York Times article that no individual business man is wholly the master of his own decisions so far as prices are concerned. What he' does is determined to a considerable extent by what the wholesaler, . processor and producer may do. And they in turn are affected by Jabor costs, transportation bottlenecks, weather conditions and other factors. Is increased production the solution for the problem of excessive living costs? The National Association of Manufacturers so contended when it demanded and got removal of most controls. But it hasn't been very helpful so far, and some doubts are being expressed about its efficacy. Samuel Graftcn declares that production is satisfactory in almost all fields except housing, that the present level is 71 per cent above that of the boom year 1929. Some observers are concei ned lest the production speed-up, now motivated by a desire to cash in on high prices, suddenly flood markets and. abetted by an end of the buying spree, drop prices so far as to bring on a recession and widespread unemployment. . ' . Labor is blamed by some business and industrial leaders . for continued high prices, and recent wage boosts won by steel and auto workers are cited as handicaps to price reductions in heavy industry. A breakdown prepared by the National City Bank of New York on the net incomes in 1945 and 1916 gives some point to such doubts by sh'owing that the ircn and steel industry made a return of only 7.6 per cent of net worth. But it should be noted that one of . the sharpest lises in the cost of living came last winter when labor was -relatively quiet in anticipation that prices would go down, not up. Furthermore, the National City Bank's breakdown is not flattering to seme other corporations whose products rate as necessities. The baking industry, which recently boosted Bread prices, in 1946 made 21.8 per cent profit on the net " worth of the leading corporations. Manufacturers of hosiery and knitted goods made 28 per cent profits on their net :, worth, while cotton goods, silk, rayon and woolens were not

.- Jar behind. : - - i There is obviously considerable selfishness and shortsightedness in business, industry, labor and agriculture. The . temptation to get all that a sellers' market will bear, so long - as that market lasts, is almost irresistible. But there is selfishness also in the still sharp apnetite of consumers for things they did without so long. Without some awareness of all these groups as to dismaying consequences of inflation, 'voluntary price reduction can have only limited effect. Nevertheless, ft is welcome as a precedent for a return to reason.

This Morning's Headlines THE VETERANS ADMINISTRATION will hold up the monthly checks that it sends out to veterans receiving unemployment and educational benefits, because the money appropriated by Congress for this purpose has been exhausted. The VA expects the delay to be short, as Congress has the funds necessary to carry on the work in a deficiency appropriations bill. The Indiana Veterans Administrar tion office has said that they have sufficient funds on hand to pay the subsistence to the student-veterans, and to veterans in on-the-job training. ' ' ,

SENATE-HOUSE CONFEREES agreed late yesterday, and approved by a vote of 8 to 1, a compromise bill outlawing nearly $6,000,000,000 in claims for portal-to-portal pay. The measure . also would wipe out all pending suits filed under three'federal statutes to recover pay for other activities, which had not been previously paid for either by contract or by "custom" of employers.

POLICE IN WASHINGTON estimate that some 700,000 persons lined the streets in the Capital to watch President Miguel Aleman ride down Constitution Avenue and Pennsylvania Avenue. Eighteen bands played along the route. The Mexican President is returning a good-will visit that President Truman paid to Mexico in March.

We Got to the Fish Fry After All

II-'

That community fish fry was sure a great success. There were plenty of appetizing extras, and Will Dudley did a right wonderful job of frying the fish soft and flaky inside brown and crisp around the edges. But we didn't get to go. The missus was tired after working in the yard, and we just didn't want to leave her. h Then how did we know the fish was so good? Because the folks didn't forget us. They sent Skippy Henderson over with two steam

ing covered plates of fish, and a pitcher of cool, sparkling beer. And we finished them off in front of our own fire. ' From where I sit, that's one of the things that makes our town so nice a place to live in: a spirit of share and share alike. That' plate of fish and glass ot beer weren't just great eating, they were symbols of the thoughtfulness that makes for better living!

Maryam said, "The long journey begins, my love."

NECESSITY for escape had come with startling suddenness. Maryam had some of the gems sewn in the hem of her jacket but she had studied no more English and knew only the words, "Walter. London." In Greek, she asked, "If we are separated, how will I ever find you?," "I will keep you near me," he answered. That night Chang Wu came for the four of them; Maryam, Walter, Tristram and Mahmoud. They slipped warily from the little house, Maryam touched Walter's arm. "The long journey begins, my love," she said. "You will love England," he promised. , Closed chairs were ready at the gate and they were brought quickly to a warehouse owned by Chang Wu on the near bank of the river. They passed through streets filled with noisy crowds. "There haye been rice riots," Chang

"There will be great Trouble," she said.

Wu told them. "A slight delay will be unavoidable." The four huddled in the place which was filled with curios while Chang Wu went to see about getting them across the river to the big ship. Hideous masks gibbered down at them and a fat idol stared belligerently. Maryam looked about her and shivered. "There will be great trouble for us tonight," she said. At last Chang Wu returned. "Now you must start at once," he said. "The Great Bore runs up the river soon, with a wave sometimes as high as twenty feet. Hurry," Walter felt his arms pinned to his sides and rough voices urged him forward. Tristram, too, was briskly propelled toward the waiting skiff. Chang Wu said, "Farewell You and the Tall One must leave in the first boat; We dare not delay for the passing of the Bore.! The others will follow

Walter leaped for the ladder. later, when it is again safe to cross " ' Walter looked back but could not see Maryam. Then he and Tristram were in the skiff and out in the river. He knew their purpose. If they got safely across, well and good; if they failed, the Bore would accomplish what the peace party believed necessary the disappearance of the bird of golden plumage'. .... - Now they could hear the roaring in the distance. The boatmen had broken out their oars and were pulling at them desperately. Tristram shouted, "I don't think the river is very wide here but it will be touch and go." ' . !The hull of theshijf on which they were to sail up Kinsal .Bay loomed up suddenly. The ship lurched as the great . wave was upon them. Walter leaped lor the ladder ... . ..
