Prices Worry The Politicians -The current price spiral brings frequent reminders that (1) nothing arouses voters to such fury as runaway living costs, and (2) the reaction of infuriated voters is to kick out whoever is in office. Many members of Congress may be thanking their lucky stars that they are not facing the electorate this November. ' ' r., 4-1 . ,i. t j? ,..:

. .uui. .tiicy . ta.ii iciciA ivi, lcai cuiiuiuuns may icinani bad in 1948, when the electorate will register its convictions and grudges. Arid they, are beginning to believe that conditions won't be corrected automatically, notwithstanding the solemn assurance to that effect months ago from the National Association of Manufacturers and the United States Chamber of Commerce. ;' Furthermore, members of Congress can't be sure which party or what officials will get the blame for high Hying costs. Henry Wallace suggests that both major parties need spanking. He said last week: "Let us face the fact that' our crises are not brought ahout by the Communists. The people responsible for high prices, high rents and growing insecurity are the monopoly capitalists and : their political errand boys. It wasn't the Communists who1 removed the wartime controls needed after V-J Day. The present administration did that. The ' Communists did not kill OPA. The Republican Congress did that." 1 ; - . Such criticism tends to minimize differences between the two parties in Congress. Senators and representatives also are beginning to fee! insecure. So we find some of them suggesting that something ought to be done. Senator O'Maheney, Wyoming Democrat, leads the cry ' for renewal - of price controls, and the vocal opposition to his suggestion is much milder than it would have been a few months ago. Four senators Republicans McCarthy of -Wisconsin and Flanders of Vermont; Democrats Sparkman of Alabama and Myers of Pennsylvania agree in separate interviews that oe of the probable effects of price inflation will be the extension of rent controls beyond Feb. 29. In other words, they agree that it would make political suicide more certain to lift rent ceilings entirely while other living costs remain out of control. ' : That, of course, is not doing anything toward lowering other prices. Flanders, who is directing one of three nationwide price investigations, expects them to bring some reduction in food and clothing costs. But' producers have not shown any alarm thus far over government probes'. And past experience offers only slight hope that consumer resistance will reverse the price trend. ' ' ' . . Senator Myers has suggested, that a special session of Congress in NoveTnber" "should tackle the problems of high living costs at home and aid to Europe. Since these problems . are related, his suggestion deserves consideration of leaders of both parties. It would be, a measure ' of self-preservation to help get us out of this mess which they had a hand in creating. ; ' ' '": ' ' ': . :, - '

FRIAR TUCK MINE INSPECTED Improvements effected ' during a recent reinspeclion of the Sher-woort-Templeton Coal Company's 3,200-ton-n-day Friar Tuck mine have eliminated many substandard conditions at the property near Linton,- Ind., a Federal coal mine inspector has reported to the Bureau of Mines. The Greene County strip mine, employing 150 men, was 1'eexamihed ' ' in July by Inspector . James P. Sheridan. At the close of the inspection guards had been placed around

' virtually ail 'equipment including the raw coal conveyor, mining flights, loading booms, and the crusher conveyor drag chain. Inspector Sheridan also cited the

removal of oil spillage and grease Irom the oil house, added illumination for the walkway to the pit of the raw coal conveyor, floor insulation at switches and generators' on the pit shovel, frame grounds for electric drills and pump motors, provision for rubber gloves for men handling high voltage cables, and use ' of nonsparking tools for opening containers of explosives. Measures to comply further with the Federal Mine Safety Coda for strip mines included better sloping of the highwall and removal of loose materials, - guards for shop belt drives, 1 and weai'ing of safety-toe footwear by all employees ' and protective hats by those exposed to falling material. . . . . ,

Political Comment

In an attempt to answer charges that $30,000 was spent for grass seed ' for the , Statehouse lawn, the Republican administration seems to have caught its fingers in the wringer once more. In a press release - attacking Democratic statements that there have been gross over-expenditures on repair of the Statehouse steps and in re-seeding the lawn, it is set out that!"Now, from the Auditor's office and at the bequest of Harold Shulke, superintendent of Buildings and Property, comes the straight story : of . 1 what has been done to restore some beauty and cleanliness to Indiana's capitol." - - '. ' The press blurb then goes ahead to admit that the. 1945 Indiana General Assembly appropriated $35,000 "for a long-neglected need landscaping of the State Capitol grounds." ' The pay-off comes, however, when the expenditures from this fund are broken down into items

in the editorial, as follows: r "Painting and redecorating of fourth ; floor, cleaning interior and exterior of rotunda on three floors, $21,942.39; concrete addition, 125 by 50 feet, to' parking lot, $8,501.28; sandblasting first floor entrances, balustrades and Morton's statue, all stone receiving two coats of colorless waterproofing, $390."' ' ' " .'; ' The bill for new shrubbery, fertilizer; weed killer, tree-trimming and seed, according to Mr. Shulke was only $624.50. ' ' Maybe the average citizen is

not familiar with the term landscaping, but most of us consider such work as outdoor type. But, Republicans say, they spent approximately $22,000 of the landscaping money on the fourth floor interior. And here, Mr. Taxpayer, is the catch. In the same appropriations bill of 1945, ' the ' General ' Assembly put up $25,000 for the express purpose of redecorating the

fourth floor, apparently- behev

ing that to be a, fair expenditure for the job. . ' " Add to that $25,000 the $22,000 "seed money" and the cost immediately: zooms to $47,000.

This week's schedule: Friday; - Sullivan at Washington. : Dugger at Princeton. - Vincennes at Evansville Central. ; a Garfield at Linton.

Lawrenceville at Bicknell. a Wiley at Brazil. Clinton at Westville, 111. Robinson at Tech. Bloomington at New Albany. Boonville at Huntingburg. S.I.A.C. games. : - a Western Conference games.

Over at Bloomington, University School has added football to their schedule. They played their first game at Columbus against Greensburg a slightly odd arrangementsand a lad named McMillan . scored 24 of the 25 points that the Pigs got. But, Bo,

the Grayin Colonel, was a iuxie unhappy. It seems that his boy, playing the his first football game, sorta wore out and had to be taken out. He says the. boy is just plumb out of condition. , . In that Hatchet-Tiger game last Friday, the two teams seemed to be. evenly, matched.. The game itself (was of interest to the ccunty, as the Arrows tangle with Washington Friday, while Coach Takats Dugger Bulldogs will be trying Princeton. Both of the county schools will be out for their first win of the season, the Dogs dropping a 12 to 0 game at Jeffersonville last week. ... . Reports from Washington indicate that the Hatchets did not play the same aggressive game against Princeton that they played against the Happy Hunters from Huntingburg the week before. The Hatchets play a single wing formation, and ' used end

iruns to good advantage against ' the Hunters, with those end-runs ! being tin-own for a loss by the , Tigers.' If Coach Takats reads : this, the Tigers operate out of a T. '.''. - . I With that end game stopped by the Tigers, Washington used ! a quarterback sneak a lot, (with ! Murray racking up about three ' vak-ds on every try. The game

I was an, even-steven affair. Both ' sides ihanagcd six first downs. Eacli side threw passes, with the Hatchets completing two and the Tigers completing one. - '

But to get back to the schools who are starting football after a

long layoff, there seems to be many of them. In addition to Greenburg and Bloomington University who played each other last week, Jasonville, Winchester, Martinsville, Tipton, Fort Wayne Concordia, and Mooresville have started the game again this year.

But, when Bedford and Jasper both begin to play, you can say that the millenium has come. . . Vtncennes Alices showed a lot of power in running over Wiley last Friday, and if they can stop Evansville Central this ' Friday, maybe Coach Inman Iwill be able to- steer- his boys to another S.I.A.C; championship. After that game, only New Albany and EvansviHe Reitz appear strong enough to stop the Alices.

Robinsonr who aspires to become the second team in history to win a Wabash Valley crown five years in a row,- will test 3 Terre Haute school this Friday. From the Tech performance against Linton last week, the Black Cats don't appear to have what it takes to help the Arrows stay as the only five-time winner.
