0 Conservatism, Pomp Still Potent Factors In British Empire riff iiil I By CHARLES M. McCANN United Precc Correspondent The combined lures of conser vatism, and of old-fashioned pomp and circumstance are po tent lac tors still in Great Britain. Two brief point up the fact that to gether they have caused the collapse of what might have been pol itical dynas- coarles Mcuiui ties. One dispatch comes from New Delhi. It reports that Malcolm MacDonald, son of Britain's greatest labor leader, has be come Queen Elizabeth's high commissioner to India. He was escorted in regal cere mony, with an escort of scarlet uniformed lancers, to be receiv ed by Indian President Rajen dra Prasad. , Th other dispatch is from London. It notes that Gwilym Lloyd George, son of one of Britain's greatest liberal leaders, ,may be made conservative lead er in the House of Commons. 'Extreme Socialist Malcolm MacDonald is the son of Ramsay MacDonald, who -was born to a Scots laborer and who entered politics as an ex treme Socialist. Gwilym Lloyd George is the son of David Lloyd George, who was born to a poverty-stricken Velsh school teacher-farmer and who entered politics as an ex treme Liberal. Both fathers rose to be prime minister. Both sons were elected to the House of Commons in their twenties. Malcolm natur ally was a Laborite, Gwilym naturally a Liberal: David Lloyd George was mob bed because he opposed the Beer war, and he shocked the nation by his first budget after he be came chancellor of the excheq uer in 1908. He announced he had designed it "to make pov erty as remote to the people of this country as the wolves which once infested the forests." Ramsay MacDonald was mob bed because he opposed World War I. Both Split Parlies But pomp and circumstance softened up both fathers. Both split their parties by their in creasing leaning - to moderate policies. MacDonald especially bask ed in the sun of high office, with its accompanying state dinners at Buckingham palace. Malcolm MacDonald entered politics enthusiastically, deter mined to carry on in his father's footsteps as a Labor party lead er. But it happened that he was made parliamentary under-sec-retary to the dominions office. He became absorbed in the problems of empire, and decided to specialize in that field. He rose to be dominions minister and served as high commission er general for Southeast Asia before he got his present post. Out of politics, he is now a non party man. Gwilym Lloyd George is now home minister' in the conserva tive cabinet, one of the half-doz en top posts. After starting out as a Liberal, he first became a National Liberal, representing the right wing of the party. As he rose he swung more and more to conservatism. He now represents his constituency as both Liberal and Conservative Acreage Rental Plan Suggested Washington (U.R) An influ ential Republican congressman urged the Eisenhower adminis tration today to spend $300,000,- 000 on an acreage rental plan to bolster farm income in the cru cial 1956 election year. Rep. H. Carl Anderson (R Minn.) made the request in a letter to Secretary of Agricul ture Ezra T. Benson. Anderson told a reporter that the Republican party "cannot expect toy get enough support uuui lanucis iu carry me mia west" in next year's election un less something is done to reverse the downward trend in farm prices. In his letter to Benson, Ander son proposed that the govern ment pay at least $10 an acre to farmers who voluntarily take land out of production to help prevent surpluses. The goal would be 30,000,000 idle acres. House Republican Whip Leslie C. Arends (111.) also mentioned the possibility of an acreage rental plan in a statement issued yesterday. He said some such program "is worthy of consid eration and may be one of the things considered after Congress reconvenes" next January. SAFE MEMO Hartford, Conn. U.R) : A motorist who asked the motor vehicles department for the num ber of his 1954 driver's license explained that it was still valu able, even though outdated.

The tongue, a highly sensitive exploratory organ, is never used for stinging by snakes. 3. False. Although this belief is firmly rooted in popular folk lore there is nothing to support it.

In The Day's News By FRANK JENKINS Dictator trouble note: Argentina is in the throes of its FIFTH military revolt of the year the fourth since the big June 16 uprising. Sources in close touch with the army say unnamed army of ficials have called on President Peron to resign. There is no of ficial confirmation. However, Peron is reported to have gone to the army ministry. Tight censorship prevails. I HOPE Peron is in bad trouble. We want none of his kind of stuff in the Western Hemisphere. WHAT IS his kind of stuff? Basically, it is government by ONE CLASS which hogs all the privileges. It is the exact opposite of what our greatest Americans (in cluding Abraham Lincoln) have described as government of (all) the people, by (all) the people and for (all) the people. That is the fundamental idea of the American way of life. GETTING back to the U.S.A.: Senator John Williams of Delaware (a member of the sen ate finance committee) says that there is an increasing threat of inflation which may reach dan gerous proportions soon unless it is checked. He adds: "Because of this threat, I will oppose tax reductions in the next session of congress unless projected revenues indicate that there will be a BUDGET SUR PLUS." (An unbalanced federal bud get is a prime promoter of inflation.) I THINK perhaps you'll remem ber Senator Willliams. He is the hay and feed store proprie tor who got into the senate from Delaware a while back and has Highway authorities say the motorist has to be at his most alert on three-lane highways. Monday, September 19. 195S been using hay and feed store horse sense consistently in his approach to governmental prob lems. We need more senators like that. T'D LIKE to add that in the par- ticular situation that is faced by our country at this moment in history an ounce of common, everyday horse sense is worth a TON of the kind of tommyrot the professional get-elected-at-any-cost politicians are talking.
