But there was a minimum of edi-

However, British newsmen in the

TN a recent talk before the Economic dub of Detroit Budg-
- et Director Joseph Dodge referred to the relationship
between past deficits and the appalling fiscal position of
the government now. He recalled that the government has
•pent in excess of income in 17 out of the last 20 years.
“The deficit policy,” he said, “was supported by artifi-
cially maintained low interest rates and a concentration of
government debt in short-term obligations. As you well
know, these policies led to a progressive depreciation in the
purchasing power of the dollar.”
It must be apparent that the feverish economic activity
of the war, and postwar era was paid for partly by taxes
but largely by debasement of the dollar amounting to a 50
percent capital levy on prewar savings.
So ths American Assembly may have suggested aims
that are incompatible. With a balanced budget and a syste-
matic reduction of the public debt the government could
give the people a constant dollar and probably some defla-
tion in the bargain. With continued deficit spending it can
give the people more inflation if that’s what they want.
But the government hardly eould do both at once.

Gen. Wilton B. Persons was the

Now he is Eisenhower's link to

Up at the Preu club, they said
he was the most important man

cause he’s army. Ike understands
a man like that When ‘Slick*

blowing leaves across the square

Everybody insists that you be
president. You make the speeches.
And you argue with congress. And
TITHAT the delegates want the government to do, there-
’ ’ fore, is to maintain a dollar of constant purchasing
power and to protect the people at the same time against the
major economic vicissitudes. That would seem to require
some doing if indeed it is possible at all.
Not many people were acutely aware of the recession
that occurred in 1949. As recessions go the one of 1949
was small potatoes. At its lowest point the industrial index

NEW YORK—1 wonder if tailroad conductors still give an assort-
ment of seat checks to small-fry passengers’ Twas a custom
that never failed to win young hearts and made the brass buttoned
impresario as beloved a figure of childhood as the fireman and
the cop.
Coming down the aisle on the smoke-belchers that were the
vogue as I grew up, his punch dangling from a little finger when
not in use, the conductor would invariably slip me a few of the
varicolored pasteboards denoting the station stops of the passengers
My father traveled by train greatly in those davs, and, since my
mother and I occasionally went along, I had been provided with my
own punch. I still have it, by the way.
The conductor s punch is a tool of the trade with a consider-
able story behind it. The design it leaves in perforating a ticket is
in each case unique, no two patterns being alike in a measure each
is as distinctive to its owner as his signature or fingerprints, and
every punched ticket can be quickly traced to the conductor on
duty when it was used.
This hat been a key in the conviction of those brought
before the bar, the most publicized instance having been that
of Judd Gray, who, with Ruth Snyder, eventually wound up in
Sing Sing's hot seat.

Washington newsmen believe he

A Good Way to Get Acquainted
NEARLY two thousand Oklahoma City businessmen visit-
- % ed the various public schools Wednesday and they
learned a lot of things about how classes are conducted, the
curricula, the attitude of teachers and principals, etc.
There is no way of ascertaining the collective judgment
of the visitors, but, judging from typical expressions, the
businessmen were pleased.
While the Oklahoma City school policy is modern, it
does not go to extremes in faddism that are found in some
areas. There is a sound foundation of basic educational
philosophy.
The needs of the schools were thoroughly explained by
Dr. Chester Swanson and Dr. Melvin Barnes and others.
Comparisons concerning financial indices were made, so
that it was realized that Oklahoma City is spending less
money per pupil per year than any other city of comparable
population within • radius of 600 miles, except Memphis
and Tulsa. The latter city spends the same as Oklahoma
City—$182 per pupil per year. Denver spends $289.
Contacts like these are highly valuable and should be
kept up. The Wednesday event was a fine example of
democracy in action.

AN INDICTMINT generally
used by triumphant Democrats
in local and statewide elections
in recent days charged that the
administration had adopted a
policy of "government by post-
ponement."
The charge was based on the
fact that both the White House
and congress had referred so
many questions to committees
and commissions for long-range
study.
In framing this 1954 legislative
agenda, the Eisenhower political'
and policy committee has placed
major emphasis on domestic is-
sue*.
Their post-election autopsy
shows that the administration’s
broad foreign program did not
become an issue to any of the
contests where the Democrats
staged a comeback. Where the
outcome was not determined by
local influences and personali-
ties, it hinged principally on
Washington’s inaction on the
home front.
IN WHITE HOUSE opinion,
and to the order of their im-
portance on the 1954 legislative
calendar, here to what the vot-
ers showed that they want
from the administration: (1)
Balanced budgets and tax re-
ductions, with the drop in
prices which producers can
pass on to consumers as a re-
sult; (2) An increase in all so-
cial security payments and ex-
tension of benefits to millions
now excluded.
Equally essential, in the 1954
session, is enactment of legisla-
tion designed to mollify the rest-
less farmers and factory work-
ers, whose dissatisfaction with
the still personally popular Ike's
record is now evident
Although congress will have
final say on these controversial
matters, the present inclination
is to submit measures generally
favorable to these groups. Taft-
Hartley will be revised so as to
recognize organized labor's de-
mand for a relatively closed
shop. Price subsidies of major
crops will be continued, although
with support percentages lower
than the 90 percent figure.
BUT TH I BASIC answer to
Republican troubles today is
agreed to be tax cuts and lower
prices on manufactured and ag-
ricultural goods. Most of the
impatience exhibited by all ele-
ments of the electorate—urban
consumers, workers, farmers,
old folks—derives from the fact
that the dollar’s purchasing
power has fallen to 15 percent
below the pre-Korean level of
June, 1950.
Although no specific foreign
question influenced the recent
setbacks, the need to furnish
pocketbook relief will affect the
overseas program to a negative
way. In order to provide tax cuts
and end budget deficits, Ike will
be forced to make severe reduc-
tions in military and economic
aid abroad. National, defense
may also suffer. For there is no
other way to boost the cus-
tomers’ dollar supply.
Even though they dislike to ad-
mit it, the most conservative ob-
servers in both parties concede
that the voters betray strong new
dealish sentiment. The Wagner-
Roosevelt-Harriman faction
mopped up in New York City.
Progressive Republicans showed
gains to Wisconsin and even Vir-
ginia.

program for swift legislative enactment of the campaign promises
that won him the White Hose, but which were forgotten or passed
