The corporation has already in itiated dissolution proceedings In the superior court of the state of Washington. If Representative Norblad were a fair-minded public servant he would have at least told the other side of the question and based his opinion upon a proper appraisal of the situation as It really exists. His actions show him utterly lacking in the integrity which his office in this democracy demands. Today's Roundup News Benjn(j jne Hews By MALCOLM EPLEY NEW YORK, N. Y. (Travel Correspondence) There'! atory going around that the legs tt homo sapiens, because of disuse, are simply Soing to shorten up and dis- "ww""" appear in the age of median- f J ical transportation ahead. That B """vi won't happen to the tribe that lives in New York City. We've done more walking here than m a",lfl n any xwo Days smce UA last deer hunt with those two IO e J lirolpu hikers. Vern Moore and Rod Smith of Klamath Falls, Oregon. Even they might weaken a bit at the sidewalk pounding . you do around here. EPLEY At Klamath Falls, we walk a few steps from house to garage, drive, and then walk a few feet farther into our place of work. ' The average person here walks half a block or so through apartment house halls, walks a couple of blocks more to a bus, elevated or subway, and walks again for several blocks to hi job. If he should drive, which isn't likely, he will walk as far from home to garage and from parking lot to job. Occasionally, a subway spills you out right at the door of the place you're going, as it did us when we went to the Polo Grounds last night to see the Giants and the Dodgers. But the Polo Grounds, like everything else around here, is built to accommodate big blobs of the population, and by the time we had hiked to our seats way over on the third base line, we had covered several blocks. There were about 45,000 at the game, which the Giants won by breaking a tie in the last half of the ninth. It was a rousing game, but the picture was worth it if there had been no play. Illuminated by huge batteries of lights, the brilliantly green field was surrounded com pletely by the colorful crowd, banked in tiers that reached back into the foggy darkness. Planes roared frequently overhead, their blink ing lights just showing through the fog and moke. Most of that big crowd went home in sub ways. We waited until the first rush was over, but there were still jam-packed station platforms when we got out of the stadium. Right in front of us a subway train filled to the last inch of space, but there was a man who wanted, on because his friends were in side. The crowd on the platform provided the pressure, and he got partially in the door. But it wouldn't close, and the train couldn't start. We all pushed again, squeezing him inside, and some one shoved on the door until it closed. The train shot off into the night Yesterday, we "did" the Bronx zoo, which accounts in part for that piece about walking. They said it was a light day at the zoo, but it looked to us as if all New York kids and their mammas and papas were there. There were about as many shapes, sizes and strange characteristics in the humans we saw out there as in the animals. Furthermore, it seemed to us that most of the people were talking a language with which we are unfamiliar. Our little party alone was using English as it is spoken out in our country. At the Bronx zoo Where was a great deal of jabbering in foreign tongues, plus a great deal of jabbering in an other tongue that only faintly resembles ours. We haven't noticed that so much elsewhere on this trip, but it was certainly in evidence at the coo. Front And Center Br CARTER BURNS REPRESENTATIVE NORBLAD'S recent at. tack on the continued existence of the United States Spruce corporation, a World War I agency, is. an example of cheap, publicity seeking political quackery at its worst. Stating , that the case was "beyond under standing," Norblad feigns great surprise at the corporation's existence and hints at gross ir regularities in the fact that it is still unliqui dated 28 years after the termination of the 1917-18 war. That the corporation has ample reason for being is shown in the very plausible explana tion offered by its counsel, G. R. Sweetser in a recent interview. Sweetser stated that, ' not only has the government's $21,000,000 invest ment been paid back in full, but an additional $2,000,000, over and above all liquidation ex penses, has been turned in to the federal treasury. Normal and extraordinary hazards of the business world have necessitated the corpora tion's long life, it is explained. Hard hit by the depression of the '30's, prospective pur chasers of its assets time and again were forced to renege on their contracts and in this way delay piled upon delay as an orderly and financially sound liquidation was sought. Only one of its assets now remains to be liquidated and that is a railway line now under By PAUL MALLON WASHINGTON, July 11 Food prices went sky-high Immediately upon cessation from OPA. I paid 42 cents for a cantaloupe, 12 cents apiece for tomatoes. Eggs were around 80 cents a dozen, up 40 cents from their usual 50 cents, and I saw them quoted at J 1.20. Meat was unobtainable, although I got a good steak dinner for $3.50. A dinner formerly worth about $1.50. Fish was hard to get, but a few fowl were available (mostly cold stor age). The point raised in my mind at every counter was how a man on- a fixed income could hope to live In an inflationary era, even buying with utmost restraint and wisdom. The upward spurt was due solely to political shennanigans in Washington. It was evident prices already were too high for fixed incomes under OPA, and that the upward spurt was tern porary and due to be ironed out as soon as pro duction came into the markets. What hap pened was that an already intolerable condi tion of prices was made absurd temporarily to the average man. And I am not certain about the temporarlness of the condition because both cattle and pig population has declined sharply, and the shortages were forecast in this spot. Political Hysterics YOU may wipe the spurt partly off the slate as political hysterics near the close of a congressional session on the eve of an election campaign, BUT behind it all, a reporting ob server cannot refrain from an accounting that this country has changed. A man with a truck loaded down with federally inspected meat was able to peddle any kind you wanted during the OPA hiatus. The black market in food did not abandon Itself. It merely became the white market. As during the war, the people whose cash register was in their pocket, made bushels of money, while fixed business, like General Motors, cut its dividend and the U. S. Steel company reported sharp declines in earn ings. Here now, more than a year after the war is over, we have become involved in a worse-than-war inflation .which increasingly pinches the small purses, and creates untaxable and unrecorded wealth in illegitimate hands. This has gone on too long to be a temporary condition. Has this nation become too small for good business? Are our vastly extended war facil ities yet too meager to sustain us in plenty, although they may be too large for times of bad business? These new questions are being asked here about consumers goods, and I find increasingly, in authoritative official circles, an affirmative answer. Have we too few hotels for good times? Too little housing for any times? Too little food to sustain ourselves? The answer is given in lines and queues at nearly every public convenience. The telephone company, flooded with unexpected calls, pleads that it lacks equipment. I saw a line of women a block long in a small town in front of a store selling nylon hose. We are becoming a coun try of lines and crowds. Some of the rail roads are accustomed to running up to three hours behind schedule, pleading lack of equip ment. . They are beginning to get a few diesels and a car here and there, but not a small fraction of what they need to serve the public demand. A reservation is almost impossible to obtain two weeks ahead of time in many hotels and upon many railroads, and prompt long distance telephone service is just as re mote a possibility. Prospects Dim THE public would not stand such lack of service or food before the war. Patiently it bore our national deficiencies for the war effort. Its patience has been extended now more than a year after the war end "until the boys get home," and "until we get production." But traveling about now, I notice an increasing public firmness in demanding to get its money's worth. The boys have come home long since, and we are not only not getting production, we have very little prospect of getting it soon in foods and many other lines. We are not only NOT getting back to normal; we have no normal. We are drifting through strikes, slowdowns, capricious politics, mis management from Washington and a whatnot inflation. Start with the assumption there is no reason why this nation cannot produce enough to support itself and others, as it has always done, and measure this against where you are today, and you will have the precise percentage of our gross deficiency. Add these individual experiences up and you will have our deficiency as a nation today. It is no wonder the economic mobilizer re tired, after saying the job could be done. To to it, fresh considerations are obviously necessary all along the line. Many adminis tration people are beginning to give it new thought. Far more will be needed.. Inflation may be temporary but it leaves permanent effects.
