I'm a business man. Like most business men, I've been In bad bin He trouble more than once. Al ways It Mat been because I had spent too much In relation to what I waa taking In. I've tried YOUR way ol getting out. I've aaid to mysell that the way to make money la to spend money recklessly, II need be. It NEVER worked. It Just got me deeper Into the hole. I know It sounds good, but it Just doesn't seem to work. The only way I've ever been able to pull mysell out of a business sit uation that was beginning to go sour haa been to tighten up on mr spending, to see to It that each do! lar goes farther than It has been going In the past in a word, to UPEND LESS THAN I'M TAK.INO IN. I That way works. The other way. I we spend It with both hands In an etfort V play even way, Jual DOESN'T seem to work. I think moat American business men have .had this same experience. I think. 'In your Insistence on spending and 'your somewhat biting references to the penny-pinchers who want to spend less, you're off on the wrong foot. ' T HOPE. Mr. President, that you won't take amiss what I'm saying. I like you. I'm FOND of you. We owe It to those we like to speak plainly In an effort to help them. Plain speaking nearly always does more good than lally-gagglng. You were a business msn yourself In your younger dsya, before you got Into politics. If I'm not mistaken, you got Into bad business trouble like a lot of the rest of us. You went broke, as I recall It. , I think. Mr. President, that If you had had the right kind of advice, and had TAKEN It If some tough old bird who had been through Uie mill had convinced you In time that the thing to da was to cut down your spending until It was LESS -(Continued on Page 3) .- " I ! , . - -it it ; 4 I ,i' , i X aiiiisuiaa.. .

The lOO.OOO-arre Tillamook burn of Northwestern Oregon often burned powder keg of the Pacific Northwest was cloaed to entry temperatures soared and humidity fell. The Ounbarrel creek fire In Mal heur national forest, 35 miles north east of Burns, was one of 34 set off by a Monday night lightning storm. It was the only one In Oregon not controlled quickly. Guy Johnson, forest service re gional fire dispatcher, aald the Oun barrel situation waa "extremely serious." Little merchandlable tim ber, however, la In the Immediate area. Powder Keg "We are sitting on a powder keg throughout the slate." he said. The weather bureau, which sent Ita mobile forecasting unit to the (iunbarrrl rreek area laat night, re ported "high to extreme fire danger In Oregon foreata all ever the In terior of the atale today and to morrow, with Increasing fire danger In tbe coastal range." Five hundred men were on the fire lines today In Malheur forest 220 of them sent last night from the Nyaaa farm labor camp. Johnson said communication with fire fighters had been poor and that a radio team had been sent In to set up reporting stations. However he said fighters reported today's weather waa "a bad burning day" and the Only hope lay In light winds. The winds have been variable. Moat of the flrr'a shift bss been toward the southeast sine Its start. If It mevea north or northwest, val uable stands of merchantable tim ber will be In haxard. Johnson aald. The area la virtually unpopulated. It Is near the desert fringe and has a mixed stsnd or ponderous pine, scrub pine, sagebrush and stunted growth trees.

Sir Stafford Crlpps. chancellor of the exchequer, told the house of commons Britain's Imports from the United States and other dollar areas would be limited to SI. 200,000.000.

The weekly candy ration will be four ounces per person. Crlpps knocked off 80.000.000 of the t440.000.000 originally set aside for the purchase of tobacco. He ssld this would mean a re duction of about five per cent to British users. Cigarettes alresdy are scarce here and lines In front of tobacco aiores are a common sight. I 1,1. j ,Tr?- " ' - V ....
