THE QRACLE. “TRUMAN PAtses AN ISSUE" The political angle ‘inevitably arises in Washington in connection with the recom- mendations submitted to ,Congress by President Truman for the purpose of com- Watting inflationary trends. . Senator Robert A. Taft, an active can- didate for the presidential nomination of his party, almost immediately drew a line between himself and the President. His party, however, is not nearly as unanimous in its attitude. In fact, some G.O.P. Sena- tors express the view that the Ohio solon Speaks only for himself and that his views should not be accepted as those of the party. The President, according to present outlook, put his opposition in a difficult position. Mr, Truman asked for certain powers in, order to curb increasing living costs; The maorijty in both houses being. ‘Republigan, the next ‘move is up. to the leaders Who must decide what course to take. The dilemma, from a political stand- -point, is that if the G.O.P. votes down the President’t proposals and the high cost of living is not curbed before election day, the Democratic leaders will blame the ‘Republicans for not giving the President what he needed to meet the economic em- sergency. é Ifthe, majority votes to enact the -Ineasures recommended by the Chief Ex- ecutive it will have to accept some of the (New Deal’s legislative devices which, for “the past few years, the, G.O.P. hag de- “nounced. Even so, some Republican lead- -ers think that the smart course would be -to give Mr. Truman what he wants and “Jet the country hold him responsible for “what happens, BUILDING COSTS _ The high cost of building is stil] get- “ting more costly. Material costs are ‘up to early 95 per cent. In fact everything in connection with building is on the, up- _and-up.

For instance, Key West, has an estimated Democratic vote of 98 per cent, and we know, so far as anything in the future can be known, that President. Truman will be nominated. by the Democratic party and will carry Flarida, yet we are interested in the jockying of Republi¢an aspirants for . At present, Governor Dewey of New York is ledding in the number of pledged delegates, but he lacks a majority and probably will net be nominated because of the congressional Republican bloc that op- poses him. That bloc is almost solidly supporting Senator Robert O. Taft, a conservative, who believes in-eutting down to the bone the expenditures of the federal govern- ment. For that reason. he will not support Plan in its entirety. Too many reports have been received from western Europe about the abundance of foodstuffs in the Black Market. A writer in a Miami paper, a,few days ago, spoke about a’ meal that’ was served him and a French companion of choice and abun- dant ‘food. Opinion : in the United States is gaining ground ‘! that ‘the peoples the themselves. tak Harold E. Stassen, who was recently in Florida campaigning, and has been in al- most every other state, is another aspir- ant for the Republican nomination for president. He is. described as a Liberal and reports are he is gaining support. And then there is General Eisenhower, who has not said he will accept or decline the nomination, another possible gandi- date. Political experts, as a rule, declare that a “dark horse” will be nominated, and that likely he will be Senator Vandenberg, who has that happy faculty of being able ta please both Conservatives and Liberals. Sometimes he may appear to be a little too conservative or too liberal, but what- ever else may be said of him, he is level- headed, and his regord in the senate dem- onstrates that he puts his country’s inter- ests above his party’s interests. It is’ easy enough to foretell who will be a party’s-standard bearer, if that party is in power, but it is altogether different with the “outs.” For that reason none of the Republicans mentioned may receive the nomination.:It may go to a man who is not now publicly considered. At this time in 1989 few. people thought that Wendell Willkie would be nominated by the Republicans in 1940. The great trouble about luck is that it often appears when you need it least. INSECTS PLAGUE MANKIND Cotton growers are interested in some insect control. program that will guard them from losses die to the activity of the boll weevil and ‘other insects. Not many people realize the damage done to growing crops by insects or the great gain that would come from some adequate gontrol measure. Oscar Johnson, President, of the National. Cotton Council, estimates that’ Cotton Belt farmers last $280,000,000 last year from the ravages of the boll: weevil; ° It might be stated, in passing, that not many of us have’any idea of the number- less varieties of insect life or the myriads of inseets that. annually prey upon plants and animals of the globe. Entomolog- ists warn us that, without the balance that nature maintains, the insect population would multiply so greatly that man would be unable to exist, ___ It takes strong family ties to welcome impoverished relatives. M@DERN MIRACLE —_— In 1915 Otto Horst, of Birmingham, Ala., lost his eyes as a result of a dynamite explosion and for thirty-two years he was not able to see the flowers which he grew by smell and touch. Today, as the result of a “miracle,” in the form of a delicate operation, Mr. Horst has regained the full use of one eye and finds the flowers “much prettier than I ever dreamed.” More than this, he has seen his chil- dren and his grandchildren for the first time. Vision has opened up a new world and we feel sure that his experience has convineed Mr. Horst that there are mod- ern miracles no less eonvineing than those of Biblical days, ‘Radio Programs thnpoy nf are accuse at 4 me tl eatone DEC. 1 THROUGH DIC. 5 Morning 9:00—Honeymoon in N.
