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.

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.
