COMMENTS ON MEN AND THINGS
Is Senator Harry Byrd in error?
The g:reat Virginia Statesman is a
worthy men.her of Virginia’s sur
passing group of Americans, who
from early times were builders of
a reputation more enduring than
bronze. Today H^.-ry Byrd is ac
claimed throughout the nation as
the foremost champion of a sound
fiscal policy for our National
Treasury and for our National
economy.
The Senator dissents from the
recommendation of the United
States Chamber of Commerce, that
the Congress reduce the taxes
now. The Senator with customary
forthrightness argues that the
Congress should first reduce the
spending and then reduce taxes.
That is clearly sound in theory
and that theory would guide sound
men of Senator Byrd’s principles.
But the gmCoress does not adopt
sound principles; nor does the
; resident: they spend all that is
at hand and all that is hoped for.
They seem to dwell in an atmos
phere of illusion that savors of de
lusion. Perhaps—I say perhaps—
if the taxes were reduced the
spending might be curtailed.
Surely as long as a dollar is ex
pected the whole Washington ag
gregation of spendthrifts—Pres
ident and Congress—will spend it
—and more.
“If it minded to economize,
Washington surely does not lack
for opportunity.- Let it begin with
the hodge-podge of subsidies to
the so-called small business, ex
porters, shipping and air lines.
From there it might proceed to
such areas of scandalous waste as
rural electrification and farm sup
ports. Finally, it could take be
lated aim at foreign aid, space
exploration and, so General Eis
enhower suggests, at the useless
expansion of the nation’s conven
tional forces. Budget-cutting along
such lines would be desirable in
the best of times. Today it is vi
tal to the nation’s continued pros
perity:"
Consider the folly of our spend
ing: billions of dollars on utterly
unnecessary projects; other bil
lions on the fool-hardy plan of
raising the standard of living
throughout the world, known a s
Foreign Aid. Here at home we
need help with our. standard of
living, but not with charity. We
need wise laws and an open road
of opportunity by clamping down
on oppressive taxes and mischiev
ous bureauchatics Commissions.
We need most urgently a clear
definition of the scope of Federal
legislation as well as sharp limi
tation on the area within which
the Supreme court may assume
jurisdiction.
It was never intended that the
Congress should hold sway in just
any field and then have the eff-
rontary to say that the Congress
having preempted a certain field
the States are barred from legis
lation in that field. The area
within which the Congress may
act is even more clearly defined
than are the prerogatives of the
Supreme court. The Court was in
tended to hear certain appeals on
ky but not to meddle with the pre
rogatives of a State except as
the Constitution expressly res
tricted the States.
I think the States, in adopting
the Constitution, had an idea of
having Constitutional matters de
cided in a Convention of delegates
from the States, meeting for that
purpose alone.
Even a casual reading of the
Constitution will prove that there
was never any intention to confer
absolute or plenary powers on a
Congress to roam over the earth
legislating at will; and equally as
remote was the thought that the
Supreme court might rove at will
into any matter and set up its
abiter dictu as the supreme law
of the land.
Under the guidance of the late
President Roosevelt this nation
adopted part of the Communist
program and we are today burd
ened with Government regulations
and Federal laws and Supreme
Court decisions and bureaucratic
meddling so that we have become
the land of the meddlers rather
than the Land of the Free.
Just ponder the exactions of the
day. We give away taxpayers’
money all over the world while
our own economy requires that
citizens shall estimate their
hoped for income of the next
year and pay taxes in advance on
that estimate.
No government has the right
to tax a man’s expectations. Un
til a citizen has received an in
come there is no sound ground for
the tax. But the Congress swal
lowed that!
The farmer’s case will occur to
all, naturally. He may have ten
! acres of tobacco so fine that he
estimates the yield at two thosu-
and pounds per acre, with a pros
pect of a thousand dollars to fif
teen hundred dollars per ace.
And a hail may tear all that to
shreds.
But not only the farmer: all men
in business are subject to the
“slings and arrows of outrageous
fortune,” the big man and the lit
tle man; even a lawyer may have
no clients and a physician may
not collect.
So, in some small degree, the
Congress might some day feel im
pelled to confine spending to in
come, rather than to the hope
that somehow, some way, some
where the government checks or
warrants may be paid before the
world learns that we are about as
harum-scarum as the man who
gives checks recklessly hoping that
the checks may get by, somehow.
“Trying to make gold from base
metals preoccupied alchemists for
a good 2000 years. From ancient
Babylon to Medieval Europe they
happily frittered away their time;
stewing brews, muttering at the
moon and producing not one ounce
: of gold. Around the time of Colum-
| bus che more sophisticated al-
j chemists gradually forsook their
treasure hunt and turned towards
a pure investigation of the basic
nature and behavior of all matter.
Their experiments laid the foun
dation for early chemists and led
eventually to the modern, wonder
working chemical industry. Most
alchemists included salt in their
recipes. A neat bit of foresight—
for today salt is just about the
most versatile and valuable chem
ical in industry’s stockpiles. Daily,
chemical plants turn out an aston
ishing number and variety of in
termediate materials and finished
products that are dependent on
salt for their manufacture: acids,
bleaches, dyes, mercerized cotton^
synthetic rubber, photographic
chemicals, insecticides, detergents,
cellophane, rayon and thousands
of drugs and chemicals.’’
Something is going on all the
time. The most alert mind could
not fully grasp the marvelous
work being done dally by our
great commercial enterprises.
For example, let us think of
Oil:
“Traveling in and out of New
York I have seen the Bay way re
finery a hundred times, in sun
shine and moonlight, fog and snow
and during steamy summer dawns
and bell-clear winter twilights.
The seasons and the color of the
sky can change the look of sea
or mountains, but Bayway alw r ays
looks like what it is: a fascinating
monument to the mind of man.
Sometime ago I was invited to
tour Bayway. I accepted with a-
larcity. 1 wanted to see what au
tomation engineers had created
there. The enigneers are confident
that ultimately most industrial
work will be done as it is being
done now at Bay way, so that this
massive complex towering above
the Jersey flats is actually the
doorstep of the future. And, in a
way, it is also very much like a
living organism. All of its slender
columns and huge towers, its
round tanks and latticework of
steel, its silvery pipes through
which fluids and gases flow—all
these are forms grown out of pur
pose and content. The shapes of
living things have evolved in the
same way, as silhouettes of in
ternal functions. And in a sense
refinery men no longer operate
these machines; they collaborate
with them.
Everything we see happening
in a refinery is based on the par
tial answers that have been found
thus far to science’s oldest ques
tion, one whose answer was first
sought by the inventors of science,
the Greek philosophers. Incidental
ly, the fact that the answers are
still only partial has allowed this
to remain the best single question
to ask a young person if you
want to open his mind to the
challenge of science. The question
is: If you divide a thing and keep
on dividing it, does it always re
main the same thing?
Oilmen ask this question with
a drop of oil in mind. The partial
answers they have found have
transformed . refineries from sim
ple distilling plants into great
manufacturing complexes. Crude
oil, it seems, is not a simple raw
material but a whole bundle of
them tied together with chemical
twine. In it is a tar thick enough
to pave streets and a film so fine
and rare that it is sold for more
than $1,000 a gallon to oil watches.
(A gallon will lubricate several
million watches). Then, of course,
there are different fuels and dif
ferent grades of them, plus

AMERICA FOR ME
RELATIVE of mine and his
wife recently made a trip to
Europe by jet. Arriving in Scot
land, they saw Edinburgh, then
went to London, saw the Shake
speare country, and then crossed
to the continent and visited
nearly all the great cities except
those in Spain and those behind
the iron curtain.
In telephoning me from his
home in Washington, my son re
minded me of Van Dyke’s poem,
“America for Me.” Hi had found
it was fine to see the Old World,
but he was glad to embark on a
ship that was westward bound to
plough the rolling sea to the land
of youth and freedom “beyond

time there were fewer stars and
my son took passage on a ship
that sailed through the skies. For
him it was home again.
Let us all at this time think of

A $1 80-A-WEEK MAN SEES
RETIREMENT AS A CRISIS
C'lFTEEN months from now
^ be retired. He’ll be two me
he’ll
months
beyond the age of 65. His wife will
be 61, a year short of collecting
her own Social Security.
He will have a company pension
and Social Security totaling $235
a month. He will have two paid-up
life insurance policies with a total
face value of $11,000.
Here are his other assets:
A house that is clear and in joint
ownership with his wife; U.S. Sav
ings Bonds, also in joint owner
ship, with a face value of $3,400;
A savings account in the bank,
also joint, that amounts to $766;
A two-year-old car;
Six rooms of medium-priced
furniture with a freezer, range,
refrigerator, TV set and a piano.
This man is deeply concerned
about his retirement. His salary
is $9,360 a year ($180 a week).
Taxes and upkeep on his house,
which he thinks he could sell for
$16,000, are running around $500
a year. Living costs are running
right up to his salary—he has
been able to add only $800 to his
U.S. Bonds in the last two years.
How can he cut down to the
$235 a month? This will be about
$54 a week. If he can save no
money on $180 a week how can
he possibly live on $54?
For this man, and for all those
others beset with a similar kind
of problem, here is some advice:
In the first place a $180-a-week
man doesn’t make $180. It’s more
like $135 after income taxes. Then
the costs of working—bus fare,
lunches, coffee breaks. Social Se
curity, charity, and what next?
—will cut it another $10. Clothes

befitting the $180 job can cut it
another $10. Then the incidentals.
The $180-a-week man is probably
netting about $110 a week. A re
tirement income of $235 a month
is about half, and a man with a
house can manage.
It will be embarrassing if he
stays where he is. Because $56 a
week, or $8 a day, must come out
of his way of living. And the cut
back will show. Still he can man
age.
But if he cringes from what his
neighbors are thinking, then there
is an out—Moving—moving to
where people don’t know, or care,
how he used to live.
A house a man thinks is worth
$16,000 will probably sell for $14,-
000. Then the real estate commis
sion and the fiddle-faddle will take
another $1,000. So he walks out
with $13,000 in his pocket.
In small towns all over the
South—but not in the resort areas
—a retired couple can buy a little
frame house with a plot of garden
ground for $9,000. This leaves $4.-
000, plus the $3,400 in U.S. Bonds.
The total of $7,400 in a bank or
savings and loan association at 4
per cent would be extra income
of about $25 a month . . . added
to the $235 pension.
This could be wealth in a small
community of little money, whde
it could be near-poverty in a $180-
a-week community in the North.
It’s not the same dish of life,
for sure. But it’s not necessarily
bad. And a man and his wife can
adjust to it, even at age 65.

Boys’ Club Volunteers Help Build “Juvenile Decency”
Today, when many people solve
problems simply by avoiding
them, a progress report by the
Boys’ Clubs of America offers
vivid proof of how responsible
adult leadership can help halt
juvenile delinquency.
la its annual “Juvenile De
cency” review, f the national
youth-guidance organization re
veals how 80,000 men and wo
men helped more than 600,000 de
serving members of some 600
Boys’ Clubs in 400 cities and
towns throughout the country.
This represents a new peak in
the number of Clubs in opera
tion and the number of members
being served.
These volun
teers, who serve
in an almost
infinite variety
of ways, are
vital to the suc
cess of the
Boys’ Clubs
movement.
Each Boys*
Club is staffed
by fall- time,
paid, profes-
w — sional youth
Herbert Hoover wor k ers# But,
the volunteers
help by donating time, talent and
energy to administration, fund
raising, service as Club presi
dents and board members and to
teaching everything from mar
bles to music.
The success of this cooperation
has brought the Boys’ Clubs of
America wide recognition as one
of the nation’s fastest-growing
and most effective youth organi
zations. Each Club is the product
of the city, or town in which it
is located. Locally built, locally
supported through United Fund,
Community Chest and service,
civic, fraternal,
labor and other
groups, the
Boys’ Clubs are
a proven anti
dote to Juve
nile delinquen
cy.
National lea
dership for the
organization is
provided by
former presi
dent Herbert
Hoover, who
for 2o years
has very ac
tively served as its board chair
man. Mr. H hover, who says Hie
Boys’ Clubs are “after the home,
church and school, the greatest
character-building institutions in
our country today,” has gathered
more than 100 nationally prom
inent men to work with him in
expanding the organization.
Working directly under Mr
A. L. Cole
Hoover is A. L. Cole, president of
the Boys’ Clubs and generah
manager of the Reader’s Digest,
whose dynamic leadership has
played a major role in the move
ment’s growth and development.
John M. Gleason, an internation-’
ally known authority on youth
problems, serves as national di
rector and heads a professional
staff with headquarters in New
York City and seven regional of
fices.
Under the
guidance of
these men, and
many thou
sands more, the
Boys’ Clubs or
ganization has
blended grass
roots citizens, |
capital, labor i
and opposing
political par
ties into a high
ly effective
youth - guid
ance organiza
tion.
Its immediate goal — estab
lished by Mr. Hoover — is the
establishment of 1,000 Boys’
Clubs, serving one million deserv
ing youngsters. Committed to a
continuation of its policy of solv
ing the problem of juvenile de
linquency, rather than avoiding
it, it’s safe to report that goal
should soon be attained.
