Don’t Get Excited About
War and Quit Job Now
Washington, D. C., Feb. 2—During
the last war many young men gave
up their Jobs, or closed out their bus-
inesses, before it
was necessary. I
said at the time
they were making
a big mistake.

This means not only 10,000,000 po

being drafted is proportionately less.
The national income is now almost
double what it was at the beginning
of World War II. People now have
better health, better education and
better wages. Don’t look back to

Despite this upswing in govern
ment spending, the bureau of the
•budget analysis shows that in 130
different appropriation items there
was a cut of about $5.7 billion below
amounts approved by the congress
for the same purposes in fascil year
1951. Some defense items were cut
below the 1951 budget, including
about $13 billion for veterans ben
efits.
Generally speaking, the congress
men generally approved the Presi
dent’s plan to enact a tax bill to raise
some $1<5 billign more in new taxes
on a pay-as-we-go basis.
There is a new battle underway on
Capitol Hill on whether to retain the
single-package omnibus appropria
tion bill or to return to the old mul

government each year. Congressman
Clarence Cannon, of Missouri, chair
man of the house appropriations com

Final Advice
Whatever you do or don’t do, take
up some systematic study to enable
you to do better work for yourself
or your employer. Write tonight to
your State university for a list of
its Extension courses. Some of these
courses are truly “gold mines." Pick
out one or more and “dig in’* at once.

After more than a year of inves
tigation, the department of agricul
ture Is expected to announce some
major reorganization plans to more
efficiently and effectively give serv
ice to the American fanners. Chief
among the reorganization plans,
which began when Albert Loveland
was under-secretary, and which have
been carried on since his resignation
by Under-secretary Clarence J. Me
Cormick, is a merging of some of the
teshnical services performed by pro
duction and marketing administra
tion in soil conservation, and the soil
conservation, and the soil conserva
tion service itself, with the aim of
eliminating some of the overlapping
functions at the county level between
the two departments. The plan fol
lows somewhat, but not wholly some
of the recommendations of the Hoo
ver report.
There is a move underway in con
nection with price controls, to revive
some of the provisions of the Steagall
law affecting prices farmers get for
their commodities .The Steagall
amendments guaranteed to the far
mer, if he was called upon to in
crease his crops, a price protection
for two years the war ended.
Approximately 70 percent of Pres
ident Truman’s 71 billion dollar bud
get will be spent for purposes of mil
itary service and international secur
ity in 1952. This would leave spend
ing for all other government pro
jects, including non-defense items,
permanent and indefinite appropria
tions, mostly interest on the nation
al debt, public assistance grants, vet
erans service and other fixed and
continuing charges at $19,064,000,000,
compared to $20466,000,000 for the
current fiscal year.
In addition actual appropriations
to be requested of congress, includ
ing programs for which spending will
be spread over several years, will
amount to another $23,900,000,000 in
new cash and dbligational authority.
Much of this sum will not be spent
until 1963 and will therefore show up
