(Associated Press Photo) The significance behind these de velopments Is that the era of con tracting la Just about over and the era of encouragement .for expansion la about to begin.' The new dealers see no conflict of motives In this prospective change. They believe the holding-down program was essential for the period in which It was undertaken, but that now the sit uation calls for something else. How they are going to work it out In connection with the basic farm price policy la one of the perplexi ties yet to be -solved. That also Is the reason why the AAA-ers have only been dropping significant hints about it so far. There can be no doubt but that Messrs. Hopkins and Davl speak for the man higher up. And their atraws cast to the winds were less emphatic than public assertion ot the NRA board. It has aired the view that industry has been ignor ing potential markets by keeping output at a low level. That state ment implied a return to the old 6 and 10-ccnt store theory that It la better to sell a lot of goods cheap than to sell few goods at high prices. To connect that Idea with the word of Davis, "The gen ius of the American people will not be content while undercon sumption and unemployment arc companions." The new deal press agents shiv ered when they heard that the good Dr. Floyd Reeves had informed tne radio hearings that the TV A favors government-owned radio. They could Imagine the statement which Sen ator Schall would issue about that. Fast footwork saved the for day for them, but Dr. Reeves' face has not yet resumed Its natural color. A quick call from an Important quarter to TV A Chairman Morgan brought forth announcement that TV A sponsors no such Idea. TVA-ers explained Dr. Reeves' remarks had been read too hastily and that there waa nothing more behind the In cident than that. . child, who Uvea with her grandmother, waa. on her way back to school after the noon receas. The men drove up to the school yard at 1:20 p. m., (eastern standard time.) The occurrence waa witnessed by a woman who notified the police. Police were told the automobile sped toward Farmlngton. Hartford detectives said they in clined to the theory that the Inci dent waa "a family affair." They reported they had informa tion that the chlld'a parenta are sep arated and that Patricia has lived with her grandmother, Mra. Elizabeth Corbett, alnce the separation. F. R. FOR It would be embarrassing to men tion the name of the Russian au thority who advocates it, but It Is no violation of his confidence to tell the Interesting and private Idea he has for preserving world peace. He saye that. If the United Btales maintained a big army and the Soviets armed their man-power on a similar scale, they could require the world to keep peace. No other announcement would be required, except one that Russia and tne United Statea Intended to see that peace was maintained. Hla view is based, of course, on the theory that the United 8tates and Russia are the two largest nations which sincerely want peace, and that they have few conflicting Interests. . , .
