Law of Barter By DEB ADDISON' IT to a tribute to advertisers generally, for truthful advertising that they stand back of. that most people are surprised to learn that a merchant Is not . required. In the eyes of the law. to seU a certain : article at a certain price as advertised. The question, arising from mistakes In ads. has been tried In court on several occasions. One Instance, in Ohio, was the advertisement of a sewing ma chine which appeared at 28 (by mistake) when the going price was $175. A customer then sued for the difference between I17S. the value of the advertised ma chine, and the advertised price. tii, namely 1149, and failed to recover. The law, said the court, la that the ordinary sales adver tisement Is only an Invitation to the public to make offers for the purchase of the goods for the price named. It does not bind the advertised to sell his goods at tha price advertised. In other words, the old natural law of barter still Is basic No aales contract la binding until both buyer and seller specifically say yes to each other. In actual practice, most any advertiser will stand back of his ad unless the mistake la self evidently a mistake because of Its absurdity. And the adver tising medium (speaking for newspapers) will go along with the advertiser If It's the medium's mla- - take. The point, again. Is that advertisers stand by their guns so well that It's a surprise to learn that they're not legally required to. t a 'A DVICX flows In from all aides on cold pre f Tentative.

The dynamic Mestrovlc, who now la head of the department of sculpture In Syracuse university, came down to New York City and we got together for a long talk In which he told all." I reported a previous conversation In this col umn, but he was cautious and reserved then. So should I be if I were matching wits with Tito. The Yugoslav dictator has been sending frequent emissaries to Mestrovlc the most recent with in a few days urging the sculp tor to return homef Why? What does the two-fisted Tito want with an artist who Is opposed to communism? That question makes the room seem sort ot chlUy. doesnt It especially since Tito for a time had Mestrovlc's brother In prison? IN order to get the full significance of Tito's move you must know Mestrovlc, This striking personality Is the bearded prototype of the Yugoslav patriot who always haa battled for liberty. Indeed Mestrovlc was widely known In his country as a patriot before he achieved fame as a sculptor, in token of which he was thrown Into prison by Hitler's minions after the nasi Invasion of Yugoslavia during the world war. In short Mestrovlc Is one ot Yugoslavia's great men whose name la honored In every home In the country. Tito Is battling mighty Moscow for the life of his regime, and he needs the support of folk like Mestrovlc. The sculptor puts It a little differently. He says he doesnt believe Tito means him any personal harm. Mestrovlc doea recognise that his return home would In effect be placing the stamp ot approval on the communist government and he thinks this Is what Tito haa in mind. This idea Is supported In a dispatch from Istanbul, Turkey. An Informed source there states that Tito Is trying to come to terms with Yugoslav exiles to help him convince the United States and Britain that he can be trusted In his fight with Moscow. HOWEVER, Mestrovlc haa no Intention ot going home until religious and political freedoms are restored in Yugoslavia. And In his mind the oppres sion is symbolized by the case ot Archbishop Alojrijc Stepanle, head of the Roman Catholic church In Yugoslavia, who In IMS was convicted by a people's court of sponsoring an organization ot terrorists and was sentenced to It years In prison where he now Is. This case stirred the whole civilized world at the time. Stepinac and Mestrovlc have been great friends for years. So strong Is the bond between these two that the sculptor la making the release ot the arch bishop a requisite ot compliance with Tito's pressing invitations to return home. M estrone speaks firmly, though without heat, regarding the situation. "I have no prejudice against Tito," he told me. "nor do I wish to harm the Interests ot my country which commands my love and loyalty as much as Tito's. My sole Intention la to Illustrate the case of a just man and the errors ot people's courts. "When Tito was heading the partisans In their epic struggle against the nasi Invaders and their supporters he had the sympathies ot Stepanle and oi mysell. These sympathies ceased when he Imposed his form of rule on the country. Not everything that Tito and his communists are doing in our country can be termed as bad. In fact tneir achievements In the reconstruction of a devas tated land and In Its rapid Industrialization are truly remaraaoie. However, the freedom ot conscience and the respect of human dignity, which the neool claim, do not exist at present My sympathies are wiin uto even now when he has taken a stand against Moscow In defense of the Independence of the country.' SO the next move Is up to Marshal Tito the re lease of Archbishop Stepanle Nation Today World Strife Biggest Item In Huge U.S. Expenditures By JAMES MARLOW WASHINGTON, Dec. It W The government will spend about 143, 500,000,000 this fiscal year, which began July 1 and ends next June 30. Ot that amount about $11300,000, 000 will be spent on things strictly for home use: running the govern ment, housing, help for farmers, education and so on.

It breaks dora this way: $13 billion for the armed forces. $6.1 billion for International af fairs. Including the Marshall plan, arming Europe, and help to other countries. UJ billion for veterans of World Wsr II and previous wars. $5.7 billion Interest on the public debt. Some of that debt was due to domestic problems.

That $18.1 billion can be eon. sidered part ot the national defense since most of It la aimed at stoo ping communism and keeping friends. Yesterday the committee for eco nomic development (CEO) said the outlook for the next several years win oe the spending of around $20 ouiion a year on security, or Just a little more than the present amount. The CED Is an organization of business executives which waa set up during the war. It describes It self as a non-political organization designed to encourage "high pro duction and employment within the framework of a free society." And this week one ot the former heads and ot the CEO had some thing to say about security. He Is Paul Hoffman, now head of the Marshall plan, called the economic cooperation administration (ECA) He didn't talk of what our pres ent security plan will continue to cost. He spoke of what It would cost us it we weren't doing what we re doing now. He said: "If Western Europe should fall under the domination of the kremlln. It nations now free should become satellite police states, only one course of action would be open to us." That course, he said, would be to spend $25 to $30 billion on de fense. What positive assurances do we have that. If standing alone, we build up a huge army and air force, we'd be able to stand off the world Indefinitely? None. What positive assurances do we have that, following the course we are following now, we'll be able In the end to win cut over communism Nothing positive. Only hope, or a belief we'll win. Hoffman made It clear he bases his thinking on that belief. It Is also the belief ot the Truman ad ministration. Hoffman said: "A much happier vista opens up to us It Western Europe, Instead of falling under the domination of the kremlln, remains free and becomes strong and prosperous, 11 we In the United States remain strong and prosperous.

Ladies: If You Must Buy Ties, Here's SafestWay V -Oil By HAL BOYLE NEW YORK. Dec. It (P Ladles. I've been a bad boy. And If Santa Claus Is to come my way this year, you're going to have to get me out of the doghouse. How can you help? By goln cut and buying a big fistful ot Christmas neckties and giving them to the men In your lives. About a week ago I bemoaned the fact that women were allowed by law to present neckties aa Christmas gifts. I suggested the formation of a society to stop the custom. Well, I didn't vr , ftu ijfb nominated as EV Vt Mr ) man - ot - the- suggestion. Nor did I expect grateful fellow men to set up BOYLE statues In my honor minus a necktie on every courthouse lawn. Oach! On the other hand neither did I expect to end p In the-doghouse. But here I am stuck In It up to my cravat The first reaction came from my own wife. So you don't think women are smart enough to pick out neckties. Rover?" said Frances, baring a bi cuspid. "You'll be lucky if you get even a bowtle from me. smarty. And where, anyhow, la that fur coat you promised me 12 years ago? Are you waiting for the minks to die of old age? Right on top of that. Byron Fish, columnist of The Seattle Times, wanted to know If I was trying to ruin his annual Christmas party. It seems that Seattle men are proud of the neckties their wives give them. Last December 29 they held a "National Necktie Party Day" on which every man proudly wore the most flamboyant tie on his Christmas rack. They were going to give a grand prize, but unfortunately the Judges met, it Is my belief that not only will the evil plans of the men the kremlln for world conquest fall. but they will fall so utterly that Russia herself will cease to be a slave state", 1 nil went color blind by mid-day. This ear Byron s going to give them blinders. Insult As If I wasn't feeling bad enough, along came a telegram from Pete lloyt. managing editor ot the Cedar Rapids. Is.. Oazette, claiming I had Insulted a fine old Xmas tradition. "Ten mens clothing stores here are cussing you." he said. "Eighty per cent of tiea are bought by women for their menfolk. Some men would never wear a necktie If some women dldnt buy It tor him. Think what a drab world It would be with out Christmas neckties." Pete Insisted "some women" have good taste In ties and said It would be a good idea If I gave a few point era to the rest of the girls on what kind of ties men like. So. on the chance that will get me out of the doghouse, here goes: There Is only one sure way, ladles, to make a man happy with a gift cravat. He probably will be already wearing the tie he loves best. Just kick his feet out from under him, pin him with a half-nelson, tear the tie from around his throat, take it to the store and aay, "Olmma the nearest one like It you got In stock." Ne Candles If you can't get his favorite tie away from him. then take a color photo of your Christmas tree to the store. Put the color photo on a stock of new ties. If they match, don't buy any. Try to select one that looks aa little like tha Christ mas tree as possible. Another good way Is to pick out a tie and tell the salesman, "If I purchase this one. will you take It In exchange for the one you have cn? I can take It home and presa It and my husband will never know the difference." If the salesman backs away In terror, choose another tie. But If you Just simply cant make up your mind, there's always this way out buy your boy friend a tie for his tux. You can't go far astray there, ma'am even at Christmas. KLAMATH FALLS, Ore. (To the Editor) Could you find spare for the following In ynur "Telling Uie Editor column?" Thanks. Mayor Thompson and the Cltv Council are to be congratulated on their denial for a request for a tavern llcente at the old Hull Hotel There are a great many people who hate to see this prominent lo cation on Main street converted Into a beer parlor. The City Council Is right there are enough taverns on Main street. According to the argument pre sented at the Council meeting last evening, the City Council In deny ing this request for a tavern license would actually be putting a man out of business. Is It necessary tor thla business to be on Main street? Perhaps they would be keeping one man In business, but how many men (and women tool does a tavern put out of business? This very excellent Main street location has supported a legitimate business for a good many ears. Then why hss It suddenly become so value less unless a bar Is allowed to oper ate there? Has Main street architecture and Improvement now become dependent rn whether or not a bar Is Uistallrd, as was Intimated at the council meeting? Who will be paying fur the contemplated exterior and In terior Improvements dependent on whether or not a bar Is allowed to operate? Not the man whom the council would be keeping In busl nesa. but those whom the bar would be putting out of business. The future of Klamath Falls surely Is nut drpendent on filling Main street up with taverns. There are msny who are very grateful to the mayor and city council for the stand they have taken.

Will that mean that tha price of autos, bed sprints, refrigerators and bnblr' aafrty pins are going up, too? Una lullallon started on lis fourth round? There are going to be a lot of hot words rxchsuged over the hike In the price of this basic commodity. Steel executives say higher prices o( steel are simply the price of secur ity. Tile fourth round wage-price spiral tills year concentrated on pennlons. At the end ot the steel strike the unions won company financed pensions. Steel companies say the coat of these funds must be added to the price of steel. Outraird Union officials say they are out raged. They contend steel comiwny pruflta are so high that the cost of the pensions could be absorbed by the companies wlllmul hurting them. And they cite the president's fact finding board's report on the steel li'bor controversy, which they to te rpret aa barking them up In this. Earnings of 21 leading steel com panies In the third quarter of this tear totalled more than $10 t mil Iuji. compared with $130 million in the same three months the year be fore. In the second quarter of this year earnings were $133 4. Fourth quarter eanungs will be hit by the steel strike. Hut V. 8.

Fair less, thinks tills pleasant state of affairs will probably Inst until the middle of next year, at least. How much the price of steel Is going up will be announced tomor row. Manufacturers all over the country will be Interested perhaps even more this time than in any )ear since the end of the war. That's because this time they aren't so sure they ran pasa along to the customer, as thry were able In the past, all of the additional coal to themselves of making thus product. Coniietltlon la the factor thry can I be sure about. Herambllng The buyers' market haa sent mm of them scrambling to find ways la cut their prices, has sent all of them searching for ways to cut their pro. duclion costs. A rue In the price of steel will be a headarlie for evriy manufacturer using It. Automobile makers, using a great deal of their product, will have to scan price lists for their new models araln If the prlre nf sheet ste-l goes up very much. The ante mskers, still on the crest, are ntvrr. thelras nervous about how niuili Inner It will be until competition begins to nibble seriously at Hit car price structure, loo. The basic point problem will prob ably be given a new fillip, also. Hter companies used to prlre their prod ucts with an eye of equalising the coats to manufnrturers whether thry were near or far from the steel mills. The federal trade romrnls slnn frowned on this practice, and the steel companies began pricing their products right at the mill sod l ttltig the distant customer pay tlia freight. The far-away custorsra d'dn't like It. naturally. A roaj promise on this dispute has been nt ported nearly worked out. Weal laser The West Coast hss long been eager to expand Its growing Iron and steel Industry. New England has been agitating along the same line, with Its eye on the Iron de posits In ljibrador. The higher steel price go, the more interested steel customers will be In saving whatever thry can on freight charges. Freight rates have been going up, too. And that, along with pensions. Is one of the reasons given for hiking steel prices again.

JORDAN. M. D. A long-lasllng chronic cough Is no Joking matter. Furthermore, it may be dangerous to Ignore It and Just try to ease the cough with drug store remedies. There are many possible causes for a chronlo cough. At least 20 or 30 possible causes are described In medical books. One of the most ser ious, of course, is tuberculosis of the lungs and Indeed cough may be the first symptom of this danger ous disease. Valuable time may be lost If a cough caused by tubercu losis la Ignored. Chronic sinus Infection or Infec tion In the nose may cause small amounts of mucus or pus to drop down the back of the throat pro ducing an Irritation and the hack ing cough. An Inflammation of the bronchial lubes called bronchitis Is frequently at fault. May Be Lang Trouble Cough can last for a long time after apparent recovery from pneu monia or other acute Infections of the lungs. Even If the csuse of the cough Itself Is not important and does not require treatment, a severe cough over a long period of time may cause the small air tubes running to the lungs to become dilated and filled with mucus or pus. eventusilf producing the disease railed bron. chlectasls. Bronchiectasis Is hsrd to treat and may Itself cause tht cough to go on and on. It la not necessary to b alarmed unduly about a cough which does not seem to go away. If, however, a cough seems to be lasting toe long and especially If other symp toms, such as loss of weight or slight fever are present. It Is wise to try to find the exact cause.
