It is barking U.S. Rep, John C. Kunkel, 52. On the other side is the element which insists the party should break loose from Ita traditional policies and stand for something that will appeal to "the average guy." It is behind Gov, James H. Duff. Kunkel has represented is three county central Pennsylvania dis trict in the House for 12 years. Duff advanced to the governor ship after being attorney general in the cabinet of former Governor Edward Martin, now a U.S. sena tor. In the background but actively supporting Kunkel are former U.S. Senator Joseph K. Grundy, long a potent force in Republican poli tics, and a top Grundy lieutenant, G. Mason Owlett, Republican na tional committeeman and president of the Pennsylvania manufacturers association. Martin also has lined up with Grundy. Split Started In 1941 The party split first came out in the open at the 1948 Republican na tional convention, where the Grun dy group backed Gov. Dewey and Duff opposed the New Yorker. Duff has pegged his campaign on what he calls "Grundy-Owlettism." He saya if that faction la not re jected at the primary, the Demo crats will win in the November election. He defines "Grundy-Owlettism" aa "government by a few. m" PRl-CUT WfABW Studs, joists, rafters, door and window openings, sheathing and sub flooring de livered on the Job. No sawing, no waste.

Duff says his ad ministration aa governor haa con' sidcred the needs of "the average citizen" in its huge improvement program, which included $187,000,- 000 in construction projects on a borrow-and-build basis. Duff's op position has criticized that program aa "deficit spending. Duff, in outlining his philosophy of government, opposes "the in creasing encroachment of govern ment on the rights of the indivi dual," but saya there must be a clearer understanding of the prob lems of "the average guy. "We must have a clear realiza tion that many of those problems can only be solved and met by government," he said in a cam paign statement. Kunkel cans lor a snowaown on spending policies of the Democratic administration in Washington. Instead of aeeking means of getting back to sound currency and balanced finances," Kunkel says, "the government is plunging deep er into deficit-financing and rubber dollars." Should Duff win the senatorial nomination, Kunkel adds, there would be "no issue based on prin ciple" between him and U.S. Sen ator Francis J. Myers, unopposed Democratic candidate for renom ination on a platform of support of President Truman's "fair deal" program. "It is a case of Duff offering 50 cents with Myers offering a dol lar."

That was the year the national debt almost fizzled out, and be came a mere 21 cents per capita. Compare this with the present, when it has skyrocketed to 11, 698 08, and you'll see bow times have changed. This fiscal intelligence comes to us from a booklet put out by the Senate committee on executive ex penditures. The title of the book let: "Increased Cost of the Fed eral Government." It contains a? lot of interesting figures. Such as the fact that not until the Civil war did the per capita debt amount to much. In 1865 it climbed to $73.01. Then it dropped down to around $12 to $1$ per each and stayed there to World War I. This set Us off, and we've never been the same aince. It went up to $242.52, in 1919; dwindled to $131.51, in 1930, and then began creeping up again. World War II lit the fuse, and the debt went sky high. The peak waa 1946, when it waa $1,907.32 for each man, woman and child. Senator McClellan (D-Ark), who heads the expenditures committee, says he thinks the debt ought to be lowered. And he throws in some quotes to back his stand. For instance. George Washing ton said in his farewell address: the race. The Grundy-Owlett wing endorsed Jay Cooke, Philadelphia investment banker. Cooke was Pennsylvania mana ger of Harold E. Stassen's cam- I paign for the Republican presiden tial nomination in 1948. stassen. now president of the University of Pennsylvania, has maintained a hands-off policy in the primary fight. "As t very Important source of strength and security, cherish pub lic credit." And Franklin D. Roosevelt, cam paigning in 1932, said: "If a nation is living within its income, its credit is good. If in some crisis it lives beyond ita in come for a year or two. it can us ually borrow temporarily on rea sonable terms. "But if, like the spendthrift, t throws discretion to the winds, is willing to make no sacrifice at all in spending, extends its taxing up to the limit of the people's power to pay, and continues to pile up deficits, it is on the road to bank ruptcy." Well, this Is no place to argue how much debt is too much. But I thought you might be interested in that taxpayer of 1840, the one with the 21-cent per capita na tional debt. Was he happy? Surprisingly, the answer Is no. Martin Van Buren was presi dent in those days, and the "World Almanac" saya this in his bio graphy: "He advocated tariff for revenue only and opposed internal im provements at national expense. His refusal to spend land reve nues led to bis defeat by Harrison in 1840." We taxpayers are hard to please.

The gadget with a yellow warn ing signal and a red stop light was declared a success after a test run at a recent conference for feed dealers in Seattle. The machine waa placed In full view of the speakers. It was ex plained a yellow light would flash when the speaker had used all but five minutes of his time and a red light would appear when time was up. The red light never flashed. The machine is the brain child of Dr. James McGinnis, associate professor of poultry husbandry at Washington Slate college and waa built by Loyd Johnson, foreman in the electric shop of the build ing and grounds department. Dr. McGinnis haa offered the timer for all conventions at the college. A 3S-meet schedule is planned for the eastern intercollegiate ten nis association's lltb season in 1930.
