NATIONAL REPRESENTATIVES — Alaska Newspapers, 1411 Pourth Avenue Bldg., Seattle, Wash. comprehensive survey of the subject by the Russell Sage Foundation reveals that an appreciably smaller proportion of public spending is for so laudable a cause. “In 1929, it was learned, philanthropic giving in the United States totaled $1,200 million. Last year it was $4 billion. This is a tidy figure, to be sure, and it represented a wholesome increase over the 19 era of giving, even with due allowance for inflation In neither and the expansion of the national income. legal limit of deduction. “still and all, there are other factors to be con- sidered. As the New York Herald Tribune points out, the ‘welfare state’ has come to monopolize functions on the reater and responsibility. Steeply climbing taxes local, State, and Federal levels have claimed a margin of spare dollars—and probably some account should be taken of the fact that more of the money claimed in es is ploughed back into pseudo- philanthropy by the Federal, State or local govern- ments in the form of relief, special aid programs, pensions and so forth.” (Cleveland Plain Dealer) A mounting realization of what happens when inflation settles down like a great vulture to gobble Thursday, December 14, 1950 GIVING AND TAKING Beginning with the New Deal and continuinz through the Fair Deal, the benevolence of the United States Government has steadily increased. Each year, the individual citizen is relieved of more of his bur- dens, duties and obligations as the trend to the welfare state continues and, each year, the individual citizen is relieved of a greater portion of his earnings to allow him to assist in the financing of his govern- up the savings of frugal Americans is sweeping the country. A case in point is the object lesson sup- plied by Winthrop D. Thies of Sca dale,” N. Y. This young man planked 350 silver dollars down on the counter when he went to pay his room and board bill at Princeton University. “The government's soft mone: policy of delib- erate inflation is wiping out the savings of countless citizens, and must come to a halt” declared the Princeton sophomore. Out of the mouths of babes—and sophomores— cometh wisdom.

Vinson announced that he wouldn't stand for any more “business as usual” in the war production program. The Georgian spoke his piece when William J. McNeil, Assistant Secretary of Defense, advised the committee behind closed doors that aircraft production wasn't moving too fast because of delays in get- ting airplane engines. “Plants producing engines are on an eight-hour work day and at this rate it will be 18 months before warplane production will be at a peak,” McNeil reported. “well, those plants ought to be working on a 24-hour basis,” shot back Vinson. “We've got to get the job done now—not 18 months from now. We won't get it done with men working only eight hours. Money is not the object now. Our liberty and the freedom of the world is at stake.” Coalition Government? Whenever friends urge Presis Truman to form a cealition govz wails: “But where can I get good men to come into government?” This column, which has urged bringing topflight Republicans into herewith pre- able the administration, sents four experienced and Republicans: Paul Hoffman—Ex-ECA Adminis- trator who put across the Marshall Plan in Europe. He would be a natural for a cabinet pest or for a high position in the State De: partment. Hoffman is now touring Europe for the Ford Foundation. Lewis Strauss—Ex-Secretary Herbert Hoover in World War I, World War II Admiral, and recent- ly retired from the Atomic Energy to ed with Strauss in the debate over making the hydrogen bomb. Taft—Cincinnati lawyer and brother of Sen. Robert Taft. Charles Taft served in both the Federal Security agency and State Department during World War IL General “Wild Bill” Donovan— Wartime director of the Office of Strategic Services. He organized -U. 9. spying and behind-the-lines activities, and was Assistant Al- torney General in the Coolidge Ad- ministration. Some of Truman’s closest advisers, including Demo- cratic Chairman Bill Boyle, tried to persuade the President to make Donovan Secretary of Defense in- stead of General Marshall, but the inside fact is that Truman doesn’t like him. All the above are Republicans; all are both able and patriotic. Barren-Beaped Senators Charles Colorado’s GOP Sen.
