JAKtS HULL).
THE ceiling theory is again, the
I aispatches Inform us, the
sticking point.
A school of Washington think
ing that is by now quite familiar
to us insists that prices should be
held down and INCKNTIVE pro-
viaea oy subsidies to be paid
out of the treasury and added to
the national debt. (On the retk
less principle of charge It to
Uncle Sam and HOPE he can
pay his debts.)
There Is a hopeful suggestion
in the news that Congress won't
stand for the subsidy idea hope
ful because it is high time for us
to begin to pay our way as we go
Instead of putting out IOUs and
trusting to luck that they can
someday be redeemed.
WE MUST be careful, incident
ally, not to go ALL OUT
against price control. As long as
demand fantastically exceeds su
ply, some measure of price re
straint will be necessary. Not un
til we reach the point of FULL
production, with accompanying
active competition, can we safe
ly remove the brakes from prices.
But we mustn't permit price
control to STIFLE Incentive. If
we do that, we shall find our
selves In the same mess Europe
Is in.
If we have sufficient Incentive,
we Americans can do anything.
WITHOUT Incentive, we shall be
In grave danger of sinking into
the muck of stagnation as so
much of Europe is doing.
IF YOU are wise, you will keep
your fingers crossed when read
ing or listening to much of the
current argument against price
control. A lot of it is propaganda,
put out by those who want to
get all they can as quickly as they
can.
On the other side of the fence,
there Is proKiganda IN FAVOIl
OF price control, put out by those
who want the government to be
EVERYTHING und the Individ
ual NOTHING.
That is one drawback to our
modern abundance of communi
cations facilities. Limitless power
to reach the public car tempts
everybody to be a propagandist.
THIS proposed immense building
program, in which the govern
ment will Step on the starter In
the hope that the engine of pri
vate Initiative will CATCH and
go and keep on going, Is further
evidence that President Truman
Is making up Ills mind that
we've simply GOT to GET
STARTED. The new wagepiice
policy by which he hopes to break
our costly Industrial deadlock Is
thinking along the same line.
Once we get started, he Is ob
viously reasoning, volume and
competition will bring us the
things we want at a price we can
afford to pay. That Is sound
American doctrine.
I't's hoe he succeeds In get
ting the engine started.
THIS is worth repeating:

VALUE LIES
Charles V. Stanton
What is the value of a single cony of a newspaper? Pur
chasers in a large city can
at a newsstand for two or
more than five cents per copy, excepting Sunday editions.
Subscribers who pay by the month or year receive a news
paper which costs, in many cases, less than the paper upon
which it is printed.
We go along from day to day accepting the newspaper as
a matter of course. It fits into the routine of our daily
habits. We set aside a certain time to scan the headlines,
read the comics, personals

newspaper isn't delivered, we
usually complain bitterly to

value.
A great many people have
now much they rely upon their daily newspaper. Prolonged
strikes in some of the nation's largest cities have brought
aoout a new appreciation of the service given by news
papers ; a service we have learned to expect without realiza
tion of how vitally it is tied up with habit.
One of the interesting features of the Oregon Press Con
ference in Eugene last week
during the 17-day strike of
York City.
Newspapers continued publication, but had no facilities
to distribute papers to homes
way in which newspapers could be secured was through
direct purchase at offices of the various publications.
Within a few days, after
papers could be obtained by calling in person at newspaper
offices, long queues blocked streets in every direction.
People stood in line for three and four hours awaiting an
opportunity to pay two cents
paper. In one particular case,
and subway conductors went
pective newspaper purchasers
their places in line. Sales staffs were on duty 21 hours per
day and were kept busy throughout the full time. People
came from as far as 50 miles away. After reading the
paper, lor which he had paid
chaser often could sell a current issue for as much as $1.
newspapers two or three days
This condition existed throughout the period of the
strike, despite the fact that
radio time to f Irani tlio nil u
i , j. .
tarried lrequent news broadcasts. All leading reporters
- --
am! commentators, authors of special columns and depart
ments went on the air. Mayor La Guardia, personally, took
over the task of reading the
his city hall radio station.
Other cities in which newspaper strikes have occurred
report almost identical experiences with those shown in the
film recording the New York strike. Millions of neonle thus
have learned new appreciation of their newspapers. At the
same time publishers have had more forcefully brought to
mind the extent of their responsibility to the public.
We have been learning in these days of shortages that
all values are relative. A ham sandwich is worth a million
dollars to a starving man.
Experience has shown that individually and collectively
we are dependent in a far greater degree upon our news
papers than we realize; that their value is measured by the
service they render, not by the few cents we pay for them.

Father's Act in
Taking His Child
Stirs Speculation
REEDSPORT What, in the
opinion of authorities, might
have been a kidnaping occurred
here Friday, when Clarence
Crawford of Vancouver, Wash.,
in the company of his second
wife, came and got his daugh
ter, June, 7, who had been born
to his first wife. Crawford and
his first wife were separated
when June was six months old,
and her custody was awarded by
the court to her mother.
Later June's mother married
James Davis of Reedsport and
two years ago she died. Since that
time, Davis has been caring for
June and another child born to
Davis and June's mother, as well
as for two children born to Da
vis' first wife. Davis had never
adopted June and had been car
ing for her with the aid of a
housekeeper. Crawford had made
several attemots to regain cus
tody of his daughter but had al
ways been opposed bv Davis.
This time, Crawford claimed.
he had the order of the superior
Judge at Vancouver, Wash., that
if he regained possession of the
child and brought her into the
state of Washington, he could
keep her, Davis attempted to
swear out a child-stealing war
rant in the court of Justice of the
Peace r'red M. Wright; but on the
advice of District Attorney H. A. I
Canaday in Roseburg, Wright re
fused to issue such a warrant,
and Crawford apparently had
made a clean getaway with the
child.
Before leaving town, Crawford
visited the city jail office and
told Chief of Police Harry Mc
Cabe that he had possession of
his daughter apd also a court or
der putting her in his custody
providing they were in the state
of Washington.

Prospects for Early New

(JP Henry Ford II told newsmen

Organize to Build
Their Own Homes
By FRANCIS E. BAR0EN
(A . P. Newsfeatures)
OKLAHOMA CITY Gi Inge
nuity credited by many penerals
with being ore of America's most
potent weapons of war has been
turned loose against the housing
shortage in Oklahoma City.
Unable to find suitable homes,
a groun of veterans of World War
II decided to form their own
building company and build their
homes themselves. They will in
corporate as Veterans Associated.
They gathered together 100
strong and cleared a former
downtown parking lot for their
office.
