“There are 588 companies ip this
country with assets of more than 1
bUlion dollars each. Their combined
assets totaled $147,782,000,000* on
dec. 31, 1950. On that same day the

amounted to 526,708,000,000. WHICH

1952 is here. A new year has come
and the wheels turn aboiif as usual
Perhaps we fret too much about the
New Year, wondering what it will
bring forth. Why shouldn’t we glide
jftto the new year as fmoothly as a
fine car moves along with gracd and
power? The new year may be asso
ciated with Federal taxes, but tax
ation doesn’t produce business; let us
keep going under full steam, taking
the taxes in our stride. That doesn’t
mean th^t taxes are not too high;
' they are too high; they seem to dis
courage prudent management; they
seem almost to take the heart out of
the investor; but there is some re
turn for the work; the Government
doesn’t get^all the profit. I point that
-out because we seem to have many
men who hope that the Government
will come day take all, the profit;
in fact, that all of us shall be • in
the employ of the Government. We
are not in the employ of the Gov
ernment yet; we still come and go

most of the earnings. So, let’s' be
thankful for what we have; what
we keep; and then let us highly re
solve to deflate the Government,

rebuild it on the ancient foundations
of sound, policy—of truth,. integrity,
simplicity, economy.

I’ve read in The States’ Righter
an account of a decision in the City
of Washington and the remarks of
the District Judge, in answering the
Supreme Court. I quote:
“Judge Matthew F. McGuire, of
the U. S. District Court for the Dis
trict of Columbia, has vigorously
defended before the Supreme Court
his refusal to order a special three-
judge court to rule on the consti
tutionality of segregated schools in
the District of Columbia.
"■The District case is one of three
initiated by the tyAACP in an ef
fort to upset the 1896 Supreme Court
decision^ never reversed, sustaining
the constitutionality of ‘separate but
equal’ school facilities. The NAACP
is fcampaigning for a reversal of that
cide as a judge whether a request
for a three-judge court involves a
substantial question of the type
which can properly’Ue* ref erred ,to
such a court.
Even ifr the complaint raised an
otherwise constitutional question, he
said, it should not be referred to a
special court because the school seg
regation policy of the District is
based on an act of Congress which
applies only to the District.
He also argued that establishment
cf a three-judge court would ‘put a
serious drain upon the Federal ju
dicial system.’ Furthermore, he said,
-petitioners fn The" case have hot b€fcn
denied their right of appeal to higher
courts on the merits of the case.
Judge McGuire said the appel
lants, in seeking Supreme Court ac
tion to force establishment of a
doctrine, trying to establish that seg- three-judge court, went beyond the
visor of Comrade Stalin.” It w^as
announced he has been awarded
the Order, of Lenin, the highest
Soviet decoration.

Politburo has been settled and that
Malenkov has been chosen as Sta
lin’s successor.)
It is the accepted Soviet custom
to pay special attention to the 50th,
60th and 70th birthdays of leaders.
But the enthusiastically-worded
greeting from the central commit
tee and ministers, accompanied by
the big pictures and the aw’ard,

tributes. ■
