of the observers of the mock
ition" of the record of the GOP
80th congress in an address at
St. Paul Thursday night.
The president's address call
ing on lawmakers to enact his
"fair deal" program as a
'staunch shield" against com
munism and Gabrielson s re
ply were preliminary firing in a
1950 congressional election cam
paign that is beginning to look
like one of the hottest in history.
Reports from Mr. Truman's
homebound train said he was so
pleased with the reception he
had on his trip to the twin cities
that he is more inclined than
ever to make a full-fledged
stumping tour next year in be
half of congressional candidates
who will back his program.
Then? are signs, too, that for
eign policy may develop into a
major issue. The foreign policy
split among republicans points
that way.
In various foreign programs
designed to stop the world
spread of communism, the Tru
man administration has had the
help of important republican
leaders.
Gabrielson said President
Truman had talked a lot at St.
Paul about Thomas Jefferson
He suggested that Mr. Truman
study Jefferson's assertion that
"A wise and frugal govern
ment which shall restrain men
from injuring one another,
which shall leave them other
wise free to regulate their own
pursuits of Industry and im
provement, and shall not take
from the mouth of labor the
bread it has earned this is the
sum of good government."
Gabrielson sa d:
"That Is a definition which
might, with great profit to the
nation, be pondered by the head
of an administration which is
taxing the American people
every year to a sum greater than
the nation's total food bill, and
which still unsatisfied is rob
bing our children and grandchil
dren and great-grandchildren of
income as yet unearned by In
creasing the national debt at the
rate of literally millions of dol
lars every 24 hours."
Any parent Interested is espe
cially invited to attend.
Jessup will also attend the
Liberty Community club on
Thursday, November 10 and
give a demonstration of instru
ments there.

Economic Needle Loaded for

Veterans will be receiving re
tween two and three billion dol
lars in insurance refunds. And
one million and a half workers
will get a pay raise of five to
ten cents an hour when me re
vised minimum wage law goes
nto effect at the end ol Jan
uary, boosting employers' an
nual wage bill by about $300
million. Both of these things
will put more spending money
in the nation's pockets.
Inflation occurs when there
is more spending money avail
able, but the amount of goods
tn huv is not increased, inat
leads to price rises. Earlier this
year production of goods was
cut back and inventories whit
tled because sales and prices
were dropping. This fail strmes
have reduced production of many
goods.
Some see the minimum wage
and the veterans' refund in Jan
uary as but another two items
added to many others exerting
pressure toward inflation. The
most important one they see is
the government's policy of defi
cit financing, which win run
the treasury another $5 bil

pumping that much more money !
into the banking system oi ine

Th stork market has been re

$10 billion since June 30. All
of this, of course, is just on

came, on paper.
Against these upward trends
however, are others acting as a
drag, tending to keep sales and
prices down. Therefore, some
economists insist that 1950 will
cither be a year of mild defla
tion, or one in which inflation
and deflation fight to a draw
Let's look at the deflationary
trends first.
Labor's drive for pensions,

at the same time either leave

The money supply is already
about 82 per cent above 1939.
The nation's disposable personal
income has increased ever since
the war. The public has $56

Most corporations are either

The government is spending

Eugene, Nov. 5 (Pi Police
were hunting today for two
young girls who, . armed and
masked, staged a rather unprof

last night.
The take for the girls one of
whom burst into childish tears
in mid-robbery was $5. The
older girl appeared between 17
and 19; 'he younger one between
f and 12.
The two, dressed in blue jeans
and masked in white wool ban
danas, ordered popcorn at a
small shop last night. Then the
elder showed a revolver, and
said, "This is a stick-up."
The smaller bandit broke into
sobs. "Mother needs an opera
tion," she said.
The clerk, Lorraine Hooden-
pyle, gave the girls $5 from her
cash drawer. They both drop
ped their bags of popcorn and
fled.
