BARUCH ON STANDBY CONTROLS Bernard M. Baruch told the Senate Banking and Currency Committee recently that if Congress does not pass a bill providing standby controls for an emergency, there will not be a person alive who will not bitterly rue this tragic needless neglect if a new war occurs. Mr. Baruch, who has testified before this committee , Many times, has consistently stressed!a practical approach to the problem of economic controls. ‘The elder states- man has perhaps more experience in the field, of econo- mic controls than any other living American, having han- died the heaviest part of this job during World War IL. . When the Korean War broke out, he journeyed to Wash- ington soon afterward, to testify before thé! same com- mittee, and urged that committee to speed passage of the bill which would impose price controls on the economy before inflation got out of hand and cost*\the United “ needless billions of dollars in its efforts to rearm. accepted Mr. Baruch’s advice, passed a bill to y Berni of 1950,.but President Harry S. Truman de- layed invoking the authority granted in that bill until 1951. The delay has cost the American taxpayer billions prices sharply, Thus when economic controls were final- ly imposed on the economy,:in March, 1951, the horse had already fled the barn. Mr. Baruch, speaking a few days ugo to the Senate Banking Committee, put his advice in simple terms: “You face a simple issue. Are we to take the elementary precaution of writing into law now what we know would have to be done in the event of an emergency?” The an- swer is obvious because the controls do not go into effect until and unless the President — a Republican President — decides a national emergency makes controls . neces- sary to prevent another reckless inflationary spiral. Once before Mr. Baruch’s advice was not followed, at a cost of billions of dollars. His advice today is as good as his advice was in 1950 and we can see no logical ob- jection to legislation which would provide the President with a standby controls authority which could be used in an emergency.

Al abandonar aquella tierra donde tantps y tan leales afectos supo conquistar, para venir a ofrendar su vida en Dos Rios, le jdertica a México, frases tan be- las, como estas: “Oh México, {por defenderte, muerto ya, llo- | raria debajo de la tierra, con lagrimas que serian velas de hierro para lanzas, como un hijo clavado a su ataud, ve que wun Gobierno de la Colonia, tuvo que Su. discurso pronunciado en la|gusano le come a la madre las instalar su tienda en distintos }Academia de Bellas-Artes de San|entrafias” ... paises .de nuestra.

(®—The Louis- that wealthy war veterans are taking to get free treatment at Veterans ville Times said Tuesday advantage of inadequate laws Administration hospitals. All they need to do, the Times | is said in a copyrighted article, to state they are unable to pay. The law will not permit an inves- tigation of their ability to pay. Abuses of the law’s loopholes have been pinpointed by the U. S. comptroller general, Lindsey War- in a report to the House Armed Services Committee, ac- ren, cording to the paper. It said the report cited examples, included in a cross-section sum- mary of the financial status of 336 veterans getting free care at gov- ernment expense for ailments, in no way related to war service, More than half of the 336, the re- port was quoted, have incomes of more than $5,000 a year and at least one is worth between $500,- 000 and one million dollars. Others were shown to have as- sets ranging from $20,000 to $500,- 000 in addition to incomes of up to $50,000 a year. The comptroller’s investigators, the Times said, found that in 46 veterans hospitals two-thirds of all beds were occupied by patients with nonservice connected disabil- ities. A large portion, it was noted, tients and chronically ill veterans.

Lucas, chairman of the local Red Cross Chapter, in formed The Citizen today that re were tubercular and mental pa. owaver; I am pleased to note that this column is receiving some atten-| i tion from the reading public. This is good. It makes me feel sassy. Sassy people are needed in | i this world: Especially those who like to sass the powers-thai-be. Big ‘shots have to be told off | every once in a while. It keeps |them on their toes. Life shouldn't be made pleasant for big wheels. They should be made to mingle with the hoi polloi .every now and then. It might teach some of them humility. Some of the things I write for this column are being deleted every now and then. The stuff I write always comes under special | i scrutiny. My columns are always examined by a battery of law- yers, the Sanitation Department, the Humane Society, and the Ministerial Association. They have a dread that I might say something libelous, unsanitary, unfair, or irreligious. Ha, I wouldn’t dare step on anybody's toes. In fact, I would even apply to the Sheriff's Office for char- acter reference if they want me} to. It isn’t that I consider myself above reproach. I have as many skeletons in my closet as the next guy. I am heir to as many foibles as any of my fellowmen; I do not believe my- self afflicted with megalomania to any great degree. I try to pic-! ture myself as an integral part of the great hass of humanity and not as a solipsist. Solipsim is a much simpler philosophy to em-/ brace and it is the only infallible ; philosophy. Nevertheless, I would rather be (through free choice) one of the cogs in the wheel than the wheel itself.
