. The Gold Bricker

Gets FCC Post

As the night grows old and

all of the mummies and vampires have gone to bed, a small

light flickers in the back room

of one of the shops on the pub

lic square. A couple of wierd

laughs are heard and someone says something about "why did

n't Mr. Singer think of it first?" or something on that order. What is this fantastic scheme that these two bearded scientists are working on? We shall see.

Inflation One Year Later 1 - One year ago yesterday, at midnight, the battle against

post-war inflation was lost. It was at midnight on June 30 that the Wartime Stabilization Act, under which OPA had

done a remarkable job of keeping prices in line, lapsed. Congress had passed a fake extension bill and President Truman had vetoed it. While Congress wrangled over terms of a bill he would sign, prices were free to rise, and did rise. By the time the-new bill had been passed and signed in late July, the. forces of its destruction had been set in motion- The pretense of price control then. las ted only a few months. The battle had been lost at midnight on June 30. This was how most of the Republican leaders wanted it. This was how. the conservative Democrats wanted it. This was how the farm lobby and the National Association of Manufacturers and the automobile dealers and . the textile mills and a lot of other special interests wanted it. Just let the benevolent forces of free competition get to work; they said, and consumers would find themselves fully protected against inflation. . '.Well, how has it worked out? How does inflation look a year after the balloon went up? I Representative Jesse P.' Wolcott (Rep-, Mich.), one of . the most influential enemies of OPA in the House, told Congress a year ago that weakening controls would "produce pnly a healthy price rise." : The wholesale commodity price index closed June 17 at 2o8.74, compared with 198.33 a year ago, a rise of 30 per cent. How "healthy" was it to whittle last year's wholesale dollar down to 70 cents. Representative Wolcott? - Senator Kenneth Wherry of Nebraska, the Republican whip, denounced Chester Bowles last year for "trying to scare us." He proclaimed that "without price control, meat will cost less than today."

D-X is different front ordinary gasolines in that it contains a spe

cial, high heat-resisting lubricant blended into

the engine which frequently are inadequately lubricated by crankcase oil, especially during the starting and "warm-up" period. In addition, it gives you all the best features of the best gasolines.

This solvent-processed premium motor oil guarantees a tough, oily film that stays on and protects hot,fast-moving engine parts. Sludge and corrosion are minimized . . . and, because of the addition of a mild determent, "It Cleans as it Lubricates." D-X Motor Oil is an avia
