C., THURSDAY, JANUARY $, 1952 Penny Postcard Goes The traditional penny postcard with the coming of the new year vanished from use by the American public. Trom how on when you write a postal it .will cost you two cents to stnd it through the mail, the doub-> ling of the cost being approved by th*e recent .Congress: Nothing yhich government controls goes down— but up. and then goes up again. Some other postal prices have also risen, the three-cent rate for letters re maining intact, however, since it has not been so long since the two cents ■cost was raised to tfireei The penny postcard has been a con venient, useful item in the home and for business. The public will hate to set it go since it has served a place of usefulness for short messages. One of the results will be the writ ing of longer messages and using them with envelopes and get priv acy for an additional pennyi The. postoffice department, which needs to be streamlined and modernized to reduce expenses and increase effi ciency, is operating with a deficit of five hundred million dollars annual ly. The rate on postcards has gone up to help, pay for the ^increased iosts of the department we are^tpld. Anyway, fts good-by Mr. (Perl' Post, you have b een a handy little iiellow and there are millions whp ■will join in rg^retting your passing. A ShiWd Crowd Trie leaders of |he big labor mon opolies/are very shrewd. They have at their disposal ample funds to hire ixpcr/s in public finance. They large/y control, the present Adminis tration at Washington, .and have numerous congressmen and others at their beck and call. In view of these facts, it r§ not surprising that they have developed what, on its face, seems to be'' v atu v urcbeatabJe plan for relieving their membership of the unpleasant necessity of helping to pay the hugtp 9 costs eptailed by our endeavors to outdo the Russians in war preparations. Their prize card is to push wage rates up at least enough to offset the recent advance in the income taxes of persons re ceiving incomes below $5,000, with further demands 4nade also upon employers. They are a greedy, fricky crowd, and are out to imlke other citizens bear all waf costs. ;Govern- ment helps and encourages them. cn the high waters enroute to the United States for talks with Presi dent Truman which he hopes will bring a new deal in Irtish-Ameri can relations. It is .to be hoped by the American taxpayers that this is the chief purpose of his mission rather than fighting for new and fast agreements on our nation’s part. Mr. Churchill, who now at the age of 77 finds himself at the head -of the British Government, . has had conferences here and elsewhere with the late President Roosevelt in which it was always reported that he was the best trader. It is his view now that Britain and the United Legislature To Meet Next Tuesday the General Assem- jbly of South Carolina will convene ^i.

The sales tax, purposely underesti mated when enacted, has proven, as we said then—just aribther tax. Pri marily enacted we were told to spend millions on Negro .schools, what reduction has it brought us in other tax fields. Why aren’t taxpay ers given full credit on state income taxes for money paid in federal in come taxes? You know the answer. And watch what ^trill happen to the big sales tax surplus. Hands will be reaching in for it.

Soy "I Saw lt In The Chronicle" —■ Thank You! pjubh The Presidential Ring Harold Stassen’s hat is now defi nitely in the Republican Presiden tial ring for the 1952 compaign. With lis announcement this week there .now three candidates in Ui£_jU infield, Stgssenr^Senator Robert AT'Taft and Gov. Earl War ren of California. And perhaps Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower may be per suaded to enter the race, bringing the number to four. Senator Taft in our opinion, is the best qualified man’in the field for this responsible position which has suffered for years for a lack of able leadership and proper ideals. Over in the Democratic camp. President Truman is still the $64 question. He says what he plans to do is a secret, and that he is not go ing to tell anybody now. Our guess is that he will run, in fact that he has been running ever since by ac cident he came into office. It was an expensive accident for the American people. The Democratic party (so-called) has been a one-ntan affair since Roosevelt was first elected. Seeking a seebnd, third and fourth term—he had no idea of retiring. No outstand ing leader of the party was allowed to be “groomed” as his successor. The same is true of Truman. To the leaders of the big city machines >and thousands intrenched in office, ne is indispensable, necessary to the salvation of America. God pity us if he runs and is re elected to direct the course of our nation for another teryn. Our high cost of living and increased taxes, and debt, the war in Korea, the al- >»ost every-day exposure of crime and corruption and political in fluence peddling, lias brought us nothing but trouble and disgrace.
