A month aero Washington was hone ful meat rationing could be discontinued entirely on October 1, but rationing is to continue on a modified scale because packing plants are unable to obtain workers to process the great flood of beef that is be ginning to flow in. The outlook for new ture is poor because of strikes and threatened strikes, This dreary prospect for broadened to include many commodities. THE United States is in the grip of a great wave of voluntary unemployment. Tens of thousands of former workers are spending their savings on strikes for higher wages and on a prolonged period of leisure while their money lasts. In many cases their money is being supplemented by unemployment insurance benefits. There are jobs everywhere, jobs at unprecedent- edly high wages, but too not having any. They are position where a job is not weal. DUT those who strike at this time overlook a grave menace to themselves. It is inflation. A trickle of civilian goods is beginning to reach the markets. Normally it would swell to a great flood in a few monthB. But if goods do not materialize, people with large stores of savings may begin bidding competi tively for scarce items outside regular outlets. If the workers destroy the value wage rate increases will rising prices. K. fc. Inflation In Mexico inflation is Manuel Camacho, in a long currency in Mexico stood at of $157,000,000 in the last year. The Mex prexy expects the situation to become stabilized shortly. During the war years Mexico ac cumulated $376,000,000 in gold and foreign ex change through exports, mostly to the United States. Now Mexico expects the United States to begin send ing machinery and materials which that country will use to increase its manufactures. As Mexico turns out more goods, inflation will tend to disappear. Thus thinks Camacho, who apparently has not read history. a a a THE Mexican president said Mexico is now produc- ing 38,574,000 ban-els of oil per year out of the known reserves in the country of 870,000,000 bar rels. Most of this oil was formerly owned by Ameri can, British and Dutch companies. Mexico expropri ated it. The American owners, deserted by Wash ington, settled their accounts with Mexico on Mexi can terms. But neither Britain nor confiscation. President Camacho says that conversa tions with these two countries are continuing. K. b. Nimitz Fleet Admiral Chester hero of World War II to receive the plaudits of a grateful nation. He will arrive in Washington on Oc tober 5, to be officially welcomed by the President and to be honored by that city.

Westbrook Pegler Copyright 1943. by King Features Syndicate Washington, D. C, Oct. 3 A Semite document, hitherto Ap parently overlooked, reveals El liott Itoosevilt in the role of Inbby-st for a private electric power corporation In Texas whose Interests were threatened by the- rural electrification ad ministration. Eillott addressed an appeal, in behalf of the Texas Power and Light Company, to some one in the White lloiue whom he ad dressed as "Steve," apparently Steve Fitrly. then his father's principal secretary and a man of ereat power of influence and decision. a e a THE LETTER, written on the stationary of Elliott's Texas state network his radio chain. wa dated Forth Worth, Murch 1. 1041.

The witness was Claude Wick ard. secretary of agriculture and director and supervisor of the RE A. by Roosevelt's appoint ment. Beedy asked Wlckard if he had told the late Senator Norris, of Nebraska, "the story of Alleg ed maladministration that had occurred under Secretary Wat lace, before you came in that had been reported to you." a e e W I C K A R D COULDN'T re member and his memory failed him as to several more ques tions. Then Beedy asked him. 'Did vou have any ideas at the time about what vou were going to do about if" "Yes," Wiekard said. "But I don't think it would be in the 'pubfle interests fi rfrseuss Tries' at the present time "We (the committee) are try ing to find out what has been dona by you to remedy alleged maladministration, to Investi gate charges of wrong-doing," Beedy continued. As a public servant, Wlckard Insisted, nevertheless, that the public had no right to an ans wer. NOW BEEDY came to the Brazos transmission line in Tex as. The Texas Power and Light Company, a private concern, "didn't want this R E. A. project to be built," he said. Mr. Wlck ard did condescend to say that he had discussed this case "with some people down In Texas." But to a direct question he re fused to name these people. Q "Did you discuss it with Elliott Roosevelt?" A. "No, sir." Beedy then presented Elliott's letter to "Steve". It was three pages long and a plea to "Steve" on behalf of Texas Power and Light. The letter granted that it was a good idea to extend electric service in west and central Tex- cuse whatever" to establish "ex cuse whatever1 'to establish "ex perimental plants" or "yard sticks" In the eastern area. "I AM GENUINELY and per sonally Interested in this thing," Elliott wrote "Steve". "1 know that it Involves a major policy but a policy which has not so far received the sanction of the president. It Is new and untried I know these people down here and I know they, will do any thing necessary to a full coop eration with any federal agency and still stav in business."

Wlckard believed to be none of the public's business. The nature of Elliotts own 'genuine" and "personal" Inter est, as to whether he might gain monev, was not brought out. There was no statement . as to whether his friends paid him a fee for by-passing the appropri ate authorities to appeal straiRht to his father's chief secretary and occasional vicar.

In one place there is a cry. In another, there is a death rattle. In another, silence. In an other, a scream. The cry is the first sound from a new-born babe. The death-rattle is the lost from an old man. The silence is from the operating room uf a hospital, where a skilled surgeon labors with all his delicacy to save the life of a brain tumor patient. The scream is from a man being beaten and robbed by thug. Life In all Its fullness. People doing trivial things, unusual things things their ancestors have done in this city for genera tions past. A young man slips an engagement ring on the fin ger of his betrothed. In a pawn shop the proprietor appraises nother ring while its owner fidgets. An old lady waters a potted geranium. A young wom- n, alone and discouraged, takes an overdose of sleeping powders. in a penitentiary the guards ar rive at the cell of a condemned prisoner to lead him to his ex ecution. A rat scurries across the floor ready to take posses sion of the cell as soon as its human occupant is gone. Ihc condemned man is -n-U titled to the last laugh. Because In the very next instant all obliterated the condemned man and his executioners ihe thug and his victim the new born child with onlv one cry uttered. Nothing is' left save smoking rubble. What city is this? It could have been Hiroshima or Naga saki not long ago. It might be almost any city of the future. The atomic age is here. ALMl'S PRU1TT. ZHUKOVILL Washington.

Many Hard of Hearing Can Hear Tomorrow r Wit UiKvui I'turnuc News Behind The News By Paul Mallon ' Wasnington, Oct. 3 A naval carrier fighter pilot who fought in the Pacific from the begin ning and ' little before returned home appalled at the lnt e n s 1 1 y of It IV o i the people and issues he m ten found after long absence What this mm country needs, he says is some fun. His fauj 61 aim o comrades, h e reported, had the fame idea. Not many smiles can be found around here, and more ex pletives than anecdotes are available in official sanctums. Yet the precise condition be hind most of the glumness and high nerves noticeable in the news actually falls considerably short of justifying or inducing morbidity, TO tell it to you straight, with a primary instance, there has been less excitement over the London conference in congress or the state department than hat you could expect. State Secretary Byrnes had almost free rein from Mr Truman to make his own decisions, passed little inside information to Washington. And what he did pass rather suggested the con ference table talk was really worse than publicly conceded. Yet gossip that this was the be ginning of war with Russia was not here taken seriously. Russia has no air force. She used ours during the war her self developing only one plane, the Stromovik and she has no navy No one can see any pos sibility of her getting either In the visible future, and the atom I? bomb does not yet enter this- picture. But Russia is in tense, not only to Slavic nature but by political preferment. Even her army thinks politically on all occasions, with the domi nating interest of a nation now with great new-found power, but again with mainly political power, attained by a victorious position, as distinct from a world martial power or even a superior industrial power. a a a I THINK it is entirely accurate to report the official position here as fearing Russia political ly, not otherwise. Indeed, the only common criticism heard of Byrnes is that he gave ground on some points. How could he otherwise when the British labor party (Attlee and Bevln particularly) won their recent election victory on the claim they could deal with Russia in a more friendly way than Churchill, and therefore better. Theirs proved no better than any other way. This is a world condition now. If anyone Is going to keep tense about it, his diet will be off f)i a long time as it will be a continuing condition. a . . (, "THEN there was the fuss over Gen. MacArthur's admlnis tratloi of Japan. As I glean It, acting State Secretary Acheson did actually speak for Mr. Tru man (also incidentally Moscow) when he flung a few volatile words across the Pacific to Tokyo. He was at the White House the day before. But a day or so later, he entered a press conference, asking: "How does everyone feel now that the storm is over?" Actually there is now no dis satisfaction with MacArthur's adm:nstration In official quar ters, and I believe the general sentiment is he is doing a su perior Job. I am sure the war and navy departments Jlhink he will do a complete job, if left alone. The trouble on this score, I .n,..,hoi iitinnl no'ftirt and communist) although not Intense.

His several denials, and the belief of his friends that he is without political ambitions has failed to extirpate this sus picion The domestic strike intensity, of course concerns the economic future of the country, and as in the "ase of Russia, will be a con tinuing proposition. We are in what we call "a controlled in flation " The administration wants it. It is working for a high-wage and high-price econ omy. The only question is whether the inflation is to be controlled by the government or the unions. If wages are to go up 30 per cent this year under one or two-year contracts the same oressure for shoving every thing 20 or 30 notches higher again will exist in a year or two. If the government succeeds in limiting the advance to 10 or 15 per c?nt now it cuts its problem that much. Most authorities seem now to think this inten tion will be carried through. So while it Is impossible to find behind the news much glee for my flying friend from the Pacific, which he and the nation deserve, I am able to report that Washington soup is seldom eaten as hot as some people cook it. 8 AND S IN JAPAN Tokyo, Oct. 3-XU.R) The first issue of the Japanese edition of the Stars and Stripes, U.

The dinosaurs that lived in Lake Lahontan, Nevada, three hundred million years ago were the acme of creation but became extinct sixty million years ago, when warm blooded animals appeared. The forty-ton tyrantosaur was the greatest mountain of flesh that ever stalked the earth. He stood 27 feet tall and 75 feet long. He could open his six-foot jaws four feet, showing rows of piercing teeth. In those days the law of tooth and claw was supreme. . Man has been upon this planet some million and a half years. Yesterday, so to speak, the Great Physic ian came- The ethics of Christianity is the foundation of our nation. Christ taught that he who loses his life shall find it. Business men know that the best selfishness is to be unselfish. Doctors who use other people's hcspitals to serve their selfish ends to drive out other surgeons and attempt to control the practice of medicine, will learn that it doesn't pay.
