when It seemed that he didn't have
a chance, he pulled his belt a couple

tin hl own words! "nave 'em hell.''
It worked. People LOVE to are

with hla own 81l congress, and ao
It aeema quite reasoimble that he
ahould revert now to the strategy
that worked ao well last autumn.
No one can hold that against htm.
BUT. In all aerlousneaa and wllh
complete good V11- 1 should
to oiler tins comment aa an In
dividual: Mr. President. I think you're
wrong In your vlewa on spending.
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

Gunbarrel
Fire Roars
Over Checks
PORTLAND, July 14 UP) Fir
Jumped ever cleared trains on Gun
barrel rreek today and roared out of
control beyond 6000 already-black-ened
acres of Mouth Central Oregon
pine forests.
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.
Britain Cuts
Purchases In
I I
Dollar Areas
LONDON, July U vBriUln to
day sliced 25 per eent off her buying
from the world's dollar areas for
this year.
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. In
1S48 Britain spent 11.600,000.000 on
Imports.
Crlpps announced a cut In pur
chases of U. 8. tobacco: lie also
ssld the sugar ration would be
lowered from 10 to eight ounces
weekly and the recently derationed
candy would go bark on ration Au
gust 14. 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.
