H OUSE G.O.P. leader Joe Martin
baa been tipped off that south-
ism and northern Democrats finally
ha’ e come to terms on civil rights.
The compromise apparently was
reached during backstage bargain
ing between leaders of the two
Democratic blocs.
| The ex-speaker relayed his report
prith great interest to other G.O.P.
leaders at the Republican round
table. This is a table in the house
restaurant where Republicans
Rather for lunch and which serves
■s a sort of G.O.P. command post.
Martin didn't reveal his sources,
but southern congressmen have
long been close to him, and Joe’s
Inside intelligence on Democratic
|goings-on has usually been devastat
Ingly accurate.
Terms of the all-important
eivll-rights agreement, Martin
reported, are as follows: both
I sides agreed to an anti-1 ynch
• bill, anti-poll tax bill, 60-cents-
' per-hour minimum wage, and
' modifications of the Taft-Hart
ley law.
These are crucial and Important
compromises on the part of conserv-
jative southerners, but they have
served notice this is the furthest
they will go. They will not, for in-
{stance, accept the dyr.amite-laden
lair employment practices bill,
(Which will be quietly side-tracked
In the house. But they will support
the rest of President Truman’s fair
deal.
This backstage compromise, how-
over, is nothing more than a quiet
Yalta agreement among the lead-
ers. Joe Martin pointed out. It can’t
possibly be binding on all the rank-
and-file Democrats, and many con-
igressmen on both sides will vote
the dictates of their own con
sciences.
Ham And Eggs — $25
M. Andre Picard, originator of
the French gratitude train idea,
was seated in a restaurant in
Akron, O.. eating breakfast. He had
been hospitably and graciously en
tertained by various cities across
the country, and he suggested that
It was time he paid some of the
bills himself.
Picard explained that he had ex
changed some francs into dollars
in New York, and pulled out a hun
dred dollar bill to prove it.
Frank Douglas, French-speaking
secretary of A. F. Whitney, presi
dent of the Brotherhood of Railroad
Trainmen, had been loaned to
{Picard to help him across the
.S.A. He said: “We don't like
sitors to pay for things in our
Country. Besides, that $100 bill
looks like it was counterfeit."
Picard, however, insisted;
finally was told he could pay
for his breakfast. Subsequently,
the waitress. Upped off in ad
vance, brought Picard a check
for ham and eggs—$25.
M. Picard looked at the check,
but did not wince. Ke did ask how
much American workmen made per
week, then he took his check and
bis $100 bill to the cashier.
The cashier, also tipped off in
advance, held the $100 bill up to
the. light and said: “I'm sorry but
this bill-, is counterfeit. I’ll have to
Call the police.”
French Will Remember
M. Picard and part of the French
gratitude train committee, sailed
for France, after one of the most
{inspiring trips across the U.S.A.
ever experienced by any foreigners.
They have come to know this coun
try even better than many Ameri
cans. And they have also come to
love it. Here are some of the things
'they will long remember:
I How the American railroads not
only hauled the gratitude train free,
but were even thoughtful enough to
put French-speaking personnel on
most of the trains . . . the 120-piece
bigh-school band at Elkhart, Ind.—
musical instrument center of the
world . . . the popularity of Gover
nor Paul Dever in Boston . . . the
tremendous parade staged by Mayor
S oe Smith in Oakland,. Calif . . .
le way Mayor A1 Feeney of Indi
anapolis matched his clothes with
bis complexion . . . the patience of
Maryland’s Governor Preston Lane
In waiting in the cold for the late
arrival of the train in Baltimore.
Of German descent, Heine
pot on one of the warmest of
all welcomes for the French
. . . the courtesy of Governor
, Earl Warren in traveling the
length of California to welcome
the graUtude train . . . the dis
courtesy of Governor Alfred
Driscoll of New Jersey In not
being willing to get up at •
a.m. to be on hand.
The warmth of Mayor Heck Ross’s
Welcome on one of the coldest of
Dei Moines days . . . Governor
Tom Mabry’s broad-brimmed New
Mexican hat ... . the fact that two
Italo-American mayors — Mike di
Salle of Toledo and Tom D’Alesan-

one of their finest welcomes. (It
was only a short time ago that Italy

P
"Haves" and "Not Haves"
■|»0 TAKE from the “haves” and
^ give to the “have nets” seems to
be the purpose of the federal, and
most of the state governments, and
Is quite generally avowed as be
program of both political parties.
The purpose of the politicians in
both political parties is to entice
votes from what
they believe Is the
mass. The unequal
distribu t 1 o n
of wealth they so
loudly protest is il
lustrated by the so-
called millionaires
—an exceptionally
small percentage of
the population, rep-
PATTERSON resenUng but few
votes. It is that
numerically-small class which the
politicians point to as the “haves”
and from which they would take to
give to the “have nots.”
THE FACT IS that such a class
represents not alone an exceeding
ly small percentage of the popula
tion, but it actually controls but a
small percentage of the wealth of
the nation. It is so small that to
confiscate all of such holdings would
mean not so much as $5 each if dis
tributed equally among all of those
not included in such a class.
The “haves,” from whom the
vote-seeking politicians would
take to give to the “have nots,”
number well over 50 per cent of
our total population, including
men, women and children. They
are those who have thriftily
saved in some form, and so have
accumulated that which the poli
ticians propose to distribute to
the “have nots.”
Included in this thrift class are
more than 80,000,000 holders of gov
ernment savings bonds, represent
ing over $55,000,000,000 ; 64.000,000
savings bank depositors, represent
ing nearly $58,000,000,000 and six
million building and loan invest
ment holders, representing $10,800,.
000,000. A total of 228,000,000 of our
population, (including the dupli
cates in various forms of savings),
this class represents a total savings
value of $171,300,000,000.
TO THAT LIST can be added the
several million who have invest
ments—their savings—in business
and transportation corporations and
those whose savings are deposited
in postal savings banks.
All of these must be included
in the class from which the fed
eral and state governments, as
administered by vote-seeking
politicians, propose to take for
distribution among the “have
nots.” The politicians should be
shown that the votes they seek
can be had in greater numbers
from tbe thrifty than from the
thrifUess.
The trouble lies in the fact that
the thrifty—those who save and so
“have”—are not organized. They
are not, as individuals, in a posi
tion to protest collectively over the
politicians’ taking from them,
through socialistic schemes and
methods, what they have thriftily
accumulated, as individuals and so
have but little weight with those
who seek political preferment or a
political party. The thriftless, on
the other hand, do organize and as
such become a pressure group to
which the politicians appeal as a
group.
IN SO DOING—that is, in pro
posing to take from the “haves”
that they may satisfy the “have
nots”—those we select to administer
government are turning us away
from that capitalistic economy, that
free enterprise, under which we
have arrived at world leadership
and the ability to help other peoples,
and to thwart the advance of that
system called communism.
The socialistic plans and
schemes, the attempt to divide
the wealth of the thrifty
“haves” with the thriftless
“have nots,” will, in time—and
not a long time—break all of
us, the thrifty and the thriftless,
the “haves” and the “have
nots.” When that time comes we
will be a nation wi*out power,
without resources, without op
portunity for the individual.
What we need is legislation that
will encourage rather than discour
age thrift. Let us apply to that
which we have always given the
needy helpless its proper name of
charity, not a something to which
they are fully entitled even though
their need may be created only by
their own lack of thrift or because
they do not want to work.

WITH A continuing Increase in
wages, taxes and the volume of cir
culating currency we can expect
more inflation. They constitute the
advance guard. At first they meet
but little opposition. When opposi
tion does arise, it is too late, for the
citadel has been captured. It will
take heroic measures to recapture
the lost position. That invading
army may march steadily on. More
wages, more taxes, more money
mean an ever-increasing Inflation
lhat leads to bankruptcy.
O-o-oh, a Cartoon!
Donald Duck, Woody Woodpecker and Mickey
Mouse can look to their laurels. The animated cartoon
craze has caught on in England, and a man-eating lion
named Zimba and Lena, a brow-beating lioness, are ca
vorting on the screen in sprightly antics that loom as a
threat to the popularity of their American counterparts.
British children—and adults—are currently in raptures
over Lena's coyly inexorable pursuit of Zimba.
The hand behind Zimba is David—David Hand, that is. He was once the protege and
later second-in-command to the celebrated cartoonist Walt Disney. Here, he and animator Ralph
Wright and John Reed discuss the merits of drawings submitted for consideration by ambitious
artists. Hand was responsible for many of the Mickey Mouse cartoons and Silly Symphonies while
with Disney. Now he is director of British anima ted films.
Artists-and animators gather in story department
(above) for exchange of views after central theme for car
toon is proposed. Then animators are called into confer
ence (below) as details of a new character are outlined.
To get right expression for his drawings, Bert Felstead
(right) grimaces at himself in mirror.

Spring Dreams of ’49
A T THIS TIME last season, the
following facts had been rather
definitely established:
The Red Sox and Yankees were
to fight out the American League
pennant race with
Tigers and Indians
in fairly close pur
suit. The Dodgers
and Cardinals were
to take over the
National League
race with the
Braves always
threatening.
This seemed to be
logical enough. No
one knew anything
Grantland Rice a bout a kid pitcher
named Gene Beard
en and no one could guess that Lou
Boudreau and Larry Doby would
improve to any such extent as they
did. Also, no one could figure the
Cardinals would get such little help
from their rookie crop, and the
Dodgers would be scrambling
around last place long after the
season opened.
Now at least 10 clubs are indulg
ing in early March dreams of Octo
ber cash and glory. Here they are:
AMERICAN LEAGUE—Cleveland
Indians, Boston Red Sox, New York
Yankees, Philadelphia Athletics and
the Detroit Tigers.
NATIONAL LEAGUE—Boston
Braves, Brooklyn Dodgers, St.
Louis Cardinals, New York Giants
and the Pittsburgh Pirates, with
Chicago’s Cubs hanging around the
outskirts.
There has seldom been a time
In major league history where
so many ball clnbs in both
leagues could be rated with a
healthy chance to win. Some
thing nnforseen can happen to
scatter them apart, but they
could also come to the wire
under two blankets.
The best ball club in the two
leagues looks to be Cleveland. The
second best club should be the Red
Sox. We are leaning heavily on that
“should be” adjunct.
THE BEST CLUB in the Nation
al League should be the Dodgers
with their speed and youth, their
quantity of strong arms and stout
legs, plus their 1948 experience. But
it will probably prove to be the
Braves again.
If Billy Sonthworth could win
a flag with Eddie Stanky out of
action over two months and
Warren Spahn afflicted with an
00 years (for Spahn), there is
no particular reason why he
should not win again with a few
slight improvements and more
help from these two standbys.
Also, I have a fair idea that Billy
Southworth’s Braves will come
north in April the best-conditioned
team in the older circuit. South-
worth overlooks few bets when it
comes to getting the best out of
what he has to work with. He
wastes less time in his training
campaign than any manager I ever
knew.

A Dip Into the Dark
With the first day of spring train
ing less than a week away, we here
by climb out on the end of the limb
of a palm tree which has no limbs
to speak of.
Here are our nominations for the
early October roundup that may
prevent us from seeing the Army-
Michigan football game:
AMERICAN LEAGUE—Cleveland
Indians, Boston Red Sox, New York
Yankees, Detroit Tigers, Philadel
phia Athletics, St. Louis Browns.
Chicago White Sox and tbe Wash
ington Senators.
NATIONAL LEAGUE—Boston
Braves, Brooklyn Dodgers, St.
Louis Cardinals, Pittsburgh Pirates,
New York Giants, Chicago Cubs,
Philadelphia Phillies and the Cin
cinnati Reds.
You can cut out this predic
tion, if you care to, and save it
for next October.
The two races are the toughest to
pick that I can recall in the last
two decades. Lou Boudreau’s
Cleveland Indians are better
equipped than anyone else to win
the American League pennant.
An Indiana manufacturing firm
has announced the introduction of a
novel, factory-built bathroom to be
known as Ad-a-Bath. Representing
an entirely new approach to home
modernization, the bath is con
structed in one complete “package"
for attachment to existing dwell
ings.
Built as a self-contained unit, the
bath utilizes conventional materials
and equipment, and includes all
necessary fixtures and fittings for
immediate installation and immedi
ate use. It is shipped fully equipped
for addition to a farm, lake cottage
or suburban home. Since it is added
to the exterior, there is no sacrifice
of space or change of interior
arrangement of the house to which
it is attached.
The setup is complete in every
respect with tub, lavatory, stool and
tank, electric heater and built-in
medicine and linen cabinets. It is
of frame construction with plywood
interior. Walls and floors are
heavily insulated and the floor is
linoleum covered.
Since the unit qualifies for FHA
financing, a home owner is re
quired only to make a 10 per cent
down payment, paying the balance
in convenient monthly installments
through his local bank.
Faithful adherents of the "apple
a day” maxim, 0 they can think
back to war experience, will realize
that nowadays they are not nearly
so likely as they used to be to find
a worm, or half a worm. In their
apple. Also, says the U. S. depart
ment of agriculture, the “spray
residue” problem is not nearly so
troublesome as it was.
The apple worm—or coddling moth
—problem appears to he on its
way out as a major concern in
apple growing. DDT has proved an
effective spray. In fact. In some
isolated orchards that do not draw
moths from unsprayed or poorly
sprayed trees nearby, a good early
spray program with DDT may so
reduce coddling moths that there is
no need to spray against a second
brood.
But DDT has not proved a full
solution to the apple insect prob
lems. It does not make a clean
sweep of all the pests. Thus DDT
sprays permit a buildup of some
pests that It does not control—the
apple mites, for instance. The prob
lem shifts, but a problem remains.
The mites do not cause wormy
apples, but the apples are smaler
and of a poorer color.
However, the new insecticldfc
parathion is making an impressive
showing against nearly all the apple
pests. Federal entomologists say
that It can not yet be recommended
for general use, that considerable
more controlled and expert testing
is needed. This Is because the in
secticide is an extremely poisonous
material and may hold public
health hazards.
