The fire to the Daven port fireplace has gone oat but once since tht hotel opened. That was necessary during a remodel ing operation. It wa rekindled with full ceremony, and has burned continuously since. Catering at tht Daraipart is second to none. Last spring wt were there at a Rotary doings. One evening, between the Rotary banquet, a banquet for the Danish counsel, and the re-opening of the Early Birds club in the hotel basement rooms, tht hotel simultaneously served dinner to ever 1800 guests. And they were treated like guests cheerfully and with dispatch. And th food was wonderful. On dot Inspect Inn it makes you a tittle sad to find a fly-spee on the Davenport escutcheon.

OOKOLSKT ACCORDINO to Arthur M. Schlesinger. Jr, the theoretician of the A D A. the socialist or ganisation that hopes to absorb both the republican and democratic parties, this is what Alexander Hamilton believed concerning the welfare state: . . . The welfare state has been with us since the first administration of this government. The vary phrase, welfare, refers of course to the clause in the constitution which says that one of th businesses of th federal government is to promote and support the general welfare , . . And the first person who developed this principle of using tht federal government to support the general welfare was Alexander Hamilton. The various measures which Hamilton advocated as secretary of the treas ury . . . the national bank, the funding measures and tut great report on manufacturers, were all means by which the government . . . the power of th government would be used to support and sustain and promote interest of special group (Sic) to the population." This was on a television program. "The Court of Current Issues." An interlocutor, Shsd Poller, asked Schlesinger a couple of helpful questions which led up to this further comment by the Harvard genius: "Alexander Hamilton was In favor of the kind of welfare state which the conservatives of this coun try have always supported. That Is a welfare state which operated for th benefit of the business com munity." NOW. the essential problem of the welfare state, aa of any state, is precisely how much money the government can afford to remove from the. earnings of a people to provide such services as a government may wish to provide. The wish, of course, is iimiti , for the more numerous the services, the more numerous and Immediate are the votes. Of course, as the taxes pile up. the state as well as the people becomes Impoverished. Their standard of living falls. A ceiling is placed upon enterprise. The British are solving that problem with gifts from the United States. When the socialistic fat of Britain overtakes us. we shall not have any kindly cousins to slip us a little help. But that Is a long way off. In a word, a nation can only spend what it can afford to spend. The alterna tive is bankruptcy. This is what Alexander Hamilton had to say on the subject: There is no part of the administration of gov ernment that requires extensive information and thorough knowledge of the principles of political economy, so much as th business of taxation. The man who understands those principles best will be least likely to resort to oppressive expedients, or fTTlft any particular class of citizens to the pro curement of revenue. It might be demonstrated that the most productive system of finance will always be the least burdensome. There can be no doubt that to order to a Judicious exercise of the power of tavatlon. it la necessary that the person in whose hands It should be (is) acquainted with the general genius, habits, and modes of thinking of the peopl at large, and with tht resources of the country. And this is all that can be reasonably meant by a knowledge of the interests and feelings of the people. In any other tense the proposition ha either no meaning, or an absurd on ..." SO. the problem la cost. We shall this fiscal yesr. 1949-19S0, have a budget, with supple mentary budgets and similar devices, which win run from t40.000.000.OCO to S50.00o.000.000. That repre sents a deficit of from 15.000.000 000 to $10,000,000,000. We shall know on July 1. 1950 what that deficit finally is and It may shock our nation. The presi dent, foreseeing what a hole be win be in then, proposes more and higher taxes. He has no other solution, certainly not if be wants to operate a welfare state. A government, like an individual, often over-extends and then discovers bankruptcy: there is no RFC to bail out the bankrupt government on the plea that It win make work. If the people object to more and higher taxes, they must oppose the welfare state. If they like the welfare state, they must agree to more and higher taxes every year until they work largely to pay taxes. It is as easy as that. a mA aw-aae. am a a saw a a sat. aw. Doctor Soys Fibroid Tumors Can Become Cancerous; Have Them Checkd Fibroid tumors of the uterus are so common in women during the middle years of life that they can be considered practically normal. These tumors of the uterus or womb are made up of muscle and scar-like tissue which varies greatly In size, that is, some are small and some quit large. The symptoms which these tu mors produce depend on their size and blood supply and their loca tion. Soma of them never produce any symptoms and tend to shrink at the time If menopause, therefore, never needing any treatment at all. Others sometimes produce dif ficulties which require special at tention. The most common symp tom Is excessive or painful bleed ing. Discomfort or even severe psln In the lower part of the abdomen Is another common sign of a fibroid tumor. They Grew Larger When fibroid tumors are discov ered they should be watched cart fully because there Is a tendency for them to grow gradually and for symptoms to develop. This depends partly on the age of the patient when the tumor is first noticed. Another general principle is that after menopause, surgery is the best treatment for those fibroids which require any treatment. Surgery can either involve removing the tumor or tumors, or more commonly, tht whole uterus with the tumors at tached has to be taken out. Except for certain general rules, fibroid tumors of the uterus have to be considered on an individual basis. They may be large or small, they may produce symptom or there may be none, treatment may not be necessary or there may be a question of choice between sev eral methods. In addition to the se vere symptoms which they can pro duce, fibroids can become cancer ous and for these reasons should never be neglected. Th Doctor Answers QUESTION: Can cataract be prevented? ANSWER: Unfortunately, there Is no known way of preventing cata racts as yet. Perhaps this will come but it is not her yet. - Want Ads dont cost they payl Indians Fined For Liquor Two Indian ranchers from Beatty were fined 124-50 each in justice court yesterday on Illegal possession of liquor charges and one of them was docked 154.50 for disorderly eon duct.

Here with is a post mortem on a 111 tlt attempt I made: Knowing that fa m o u r ia a Oman's whole existence, I checked to se If I couldn't find them a shortcut in this field to save tear on th daws. My inqu disclosed that BO TIE Dr. Kinsey to the contrary tht greatest lovers are men in their ana. This truth was confirmed by Doro- tny dix and the fact that th eight top-drawing male film start art ell 4 plus. Apwrteteuaa You would think that this discov ery would be hailed by th ladle as a great time saver tor them. No longer need they wast their own romantic prime trying to rob a teen age cradle or making goo-goo eyes at Ctvll War veterans. They could go ahead and concentrate on their real prey th men of two acort years and slightly more But wha hoppen? My research reaped only crop of feminine catcalls of derision. I have space for only two. Jeered a widow to Hutchinson. Kan.: Romantic old devils nothing they're conceited old puppW ' "The 40 to 10-year-old daddy with the cash might have a chance. But be d be lucky If he found one young girl to a hard row of stumps will ing to make the sacrifice and put up with hia indigestion, bad breath" (please, lady I) "false teeth, bald head and a dozen other ail ments." Mall It Over And th dear old widow londuded Joyously: "Daddy, oh daddy. I knows what I I talking about. I took a couple of old pot bellies to a good cleaning myself when I waa a bewitching young lady. Print this and give the old pot bellies something to think about An equal hoot ram from a 34-year-old wife to Ashland. Ky who said her husband was 23 "and I wouldn't wish him to be on day older. "Just where you old men get the idea you are attractive Is a mystery to me. -Let m tell you why th popu lar film start are over 40. These men are made up to look young, they are excellent actors and they dont have bald heads and pot bellies. And. last but not least, the girls dont have to touch their loose, flabby cheeks." (Editor's now: Sht has you there, Boyle.) Boyle's note: A girl that fastidi ous can always wear cotton work gloves.) Appeal And th Ashland wlft wound up thus: "Dont ever think any young girt marries an old man for his sex ap peal, it la always for his dollars or acre appeal. The sooner men find this out. the happier they will be." An I can say to these ladles is go bark at Vice President Bark ley, dearies. Who Is In Shangri-La today you or the widow from Missouri? ordered to vet quick decision so aa lo render It unnecessary tor Mos cow to respond to any action which may result from the United Stales' appeal Kpolllgbt This concerted maneuver puu the spotlight on a highly Interesting situation. In the first place, the U. 8. suggestion Is that the request regarding Ward be directed to the Chinese Communist regime In Pel ping, headed by Oeneral Mao Tat Tung. This brings from Chinese Nationalist Humeri th remark that 1 the Peiplng government has no con trol .over Manchuria, which is an Individual satellite of Russia and lakea orders only from Moscow. And what'a the answer to this? Well, the Chinese Natlonallrte, and many foreign observers, say that Manchuria haa been marked out as a special zone of Influence by Rus sia. Manchuria la strategically situ, a ted; It Ilea up against Russian ter ritory ; It Is rich In resources. Ideal Base In short. Manchuria Is an Ideal base for any nation which haa am bitions lo control Eastern Asia. By the same token It would provide the Soviet Union with an Invaluable de fensive position In event of another world war. So f ar aa concerns Ward. Chinese NaUonallsta believe It quite poolble that th Manchurian Reds acted on their own responsibility In locking him up. The charge that h man handled an employ Isn't taken se riously to Nationalist circles. How ever, it Is pointed out that the con sul general very likely la possessed of much Information about Manchu ria, and the Redt may be worried because of this. Rosa Aim 80 tht Chinese Nationalists say that Russia la bent on taking over Manchuria. They alio believe that Moscow won't allow Mao to hav full liberty In conducting Interna tional relatione for his part of Chi na. Th point of this la that Mao himself la at heart Nationalist, although curiously enough ha be Uevea In world revolution tor the spread of communism. Moscow recognises In Mao the possible makings of another Mar shal Tito. Film Fanfare Eleanor Powell Taps Again After 4 Years as Housewife By BOB THOMAS HOLLYWOOD, Nor. 23 on Hap py sounds of tapping feet are again coming from the Eleanor P9weD bungalow, long a landmark at MOM studios. The boards are once more groan ing under the onslaught of the long stemmed tapster. Mis Powell haa returned to the studio where the one reigned as a musical queen. She waa away seven years, during most of which she waa merely Mrs. Olenn Ford. New Cbawtar Thus begins another chapter to the career of the Springfield. Mast, dancer who has traveled from ballet to be-bop. "I studied ballet for 13 years." sh recalled. To m ballet wa every thing. But then I tried out on Broadway before such producers sa Oeorge White, Flo Zlegfeld and Earl Carroll. Very nice,' they aald, 'but can she tap.' "So I Invested t3i In 10 Up les sens.

After several yean of hits, sh found herself to a rut, "The "Eleanor Powell' dance style got to be th slam-bang sort of thing." sh told me. "I had to come on and sock-sock-eock to every number. "I would start out with fast number, follow that with faster one and keep punching harder until at the end of a picture they shot me out of cannon." Married She left MOM In 1M2. 8h did on outside film, "Sensations of 14S." but tt turned out not to be. Marrying film newcomer Olenn Ford, she put away her tap shoes for an apron. Little Peter Ford com pleted the family scene. After Olenn came out of tht marines and established himself aa a screen star, Eleanor's toes began to Itch. She did a coupl of U. 8. night club tours and reappeared Notion Today Could Washington Get Along Without the Ghost Writers? triumphantly at the London Pal ladium. One night the Fords were out socially with the Joe Patterneke when the producer suggested a film return for Eleanor. She laughed It off and forgot about it. But Paster nak persisted. He conquered her fear of returning to th old haunts and signed her to appear In "Duch ess of Idaho." Verdict? "It's Just a brief appearance In the picture." she said, "but Its handled very well. Van Johnson Introduces me at a night dub. Then he looks right at tht movie audlenct and says. 'Would you like to see Eleanor Powell dance again?' "The audience's reaction to that will determine whether or not I do any more pictures." She does a hot be-bop number In the film, a far cry from her early ballet training. I asked her If she regretted thou years of ankle stralnlng labor. "No." ahe replied, "because that training waa Important. Take any good Up dancer Astalre. Kelly.

Dorris City Hall DORMS, Calif. Music by Floyd Joiner and His Orchestra lit JAMKN MAKI.OW WASHING TON Nov. 22 !) Crrrrrrrneh. Justice Jackson brlnss up the question of ghost writers sln. Here was the supreme court dron ing through a batch of dull rases. II reached one about a lawyer ac cused of having had a hand In writ ing a magaalne piece which bnr another mans nam but was In iup- port of the lawyer s client Tea Off Suddenly Justice Jackson, who's been around a long time In Wash In ton srher you hear a lot about ghost writers, teed off: "Ohosl writing haa debased th Intellectual currency In circulation her (Washington) and Is a type of counterfeiting which Invites no de fense" No defense? Buay President Tru man probably would be among the first to defend It. So would Presi dent Roosevelt, If he were alive. It was Just coincidence, but while Justice Jackson was delivering his opinion of ghost-writing, another Washington story was breaking: Clark Clifford, one of Truman's moat trusted whit house aides, was leaving to go Into private business to mske more money. ('.hosier Clifford haa been serving as Tru mans leaal counsel and alto as a ghost wrlier. In fact, aa ghost writer for Truman, Clifford had succeeded Judge Bamuel Rosenman and some others who had done ghost writing for Roosevelt. The story of pretldentlal ghnat writing under Roosevelt and Tru man goes like this: When they had lo make a speech say on labor the government agency most expert on the subject (in this case the labor department i aould dig up the necessary facta and 'background. This would go into the ghost-writ ing mill at the White House where a number of aides would take a whack at putting the speech togeth- Toielber When all the pieces were fitted together with maybe a last going over by Rosenman or Clifford or maybe the whole Job by them the finished product went to the presi dent. Then the president, whether Tru man Tr Roosevelt, would go over what the ghosts had written, make what changes he thought necessary, put In some touches of his own. or msrbe even rt-wrtte the whole thing. But. anyway, the padework on the speech waa usually done by the ghost whose names were never mentioned. Honesty Come to think of it. It would seem odd If Truman got up to make a speech and. to avoid the "counter felting' label put on ghostly work by Justice Jackson, mad hit speech this way: "My fellow American t: Th speech I'm about to deliver haa been put together by Joe Jones, a file clerk In the labor department, Charley Rot, my secretary. Char ley Murphy, one of mi aides, Clark Clifford, one of my aides, and Mrs Truman, who suggested some changes when I read the speech to her last night. "Paragraphs J. T. 10. 22, and 27 were put together entirely by Jones Ross and Murphy are responsible for paragraphs II to 21, Clifford re wrote Ross and Murphy In 14 other paragraphs, and I re-wrote Clifford In 20 others. 10 of which were at tht suggestion of Mrs. Truman." Help! Other government officials have ghosts, or at least ghostly help. Bo do many businessmen. If you asked them why they didn't do the whole Job themselves, they'd probably say: "I cant possibly make all tht speechea I'm called upon to make and write them all myself and still get my other work done. So long as the siieerh represents what I think. Us hnnast in iIa Is arlih rt. help of ghutt." Of course, some limes It might be th truth If the government offlclsl or th businessman said h can't writ a afiai-h In u fc. I and needs the help of a ghost.
