Nobody ever seems to think of glimpsing into the past and pick ing up a few hints and trends. But believe me it's a heck of a lot more accurate than all this folde rol about the future. Your expert forecasters, 'special ly a few of them that advertise their wares and boast of their prowess on the air, really dont have s lot to go on. They rave and rant and shout and end up with predictions of things to come. If they are wrong they apologise. Then at the end of the year they count up all the apologies and give forth with a 110 percent correct record of predictions. Professional pollsters for the press are Just as bad. Their gim mick Is to make a prediction and then follow It up with what actually happened. By the time you spend a year reading all these you are bemused, bemuddled and a pros pective client for the opticians. But dial NEW YORK Wl i Everybody 1 - -J U. .. , V.

The higher benefit payments would go to civil service employes who retired prior to last April 1 and would amount to 36 for each six months they have been on the pension rolls. The maximum increase, howev er, would be $324 annually or 25 er cent of what the annuitant now receives, whichever is less. Annui tants whose pension now is 2,ibo or more annually would get no increase. The increases also would be re ceived by widows and children already receiving payments as the survivors of retired employes. The Increases would end on June 30, 1954, unless Congress appro priates for them. Woman Driving Fatal Vehicle YAKIMA Ifl Lee M. Johnson, sole survivor of an automobile accident which killed nine other persons last Friday, said Wednes day his wife was driving their , pickup truck. Mrs. Johnson and their six children all were killed when a gasoline tank truck plowed into . their 24 year old conveyance and ' then a car ran into the tanker. All were traveling the same dir ection. Johnson, still In serious condi tion from head injuries, made the statement under questioning by Pros. Atty. Ronald Hull and other ; officials. Hull said Johnson has not yet been told of the fate of his family. Also killed were the drivers of the tank truck and the car.

Every voter in this country ought to be his own fore caster, and should do his own thinking before casting a vote on any issue. A bunch of irresponsible people blindly following the advice of a political pedagogue can do more to ruin a country than all the armies of the world put together.

Alcoa Asks Price Hike WASHINGTON Ifl The giant Aluminum Company of America Wednesday asked the government for a price increase of at least 10 percent. The application filed with the Office of Price Stabilization re quested a boost of two cents a pound on aluminum pig and a 10 percent Increase on aluminum in got, semi-fabricated and fully fab ricated aluminum products. The proposed increase on pig would raise the price from 18 to 20 cents a pound. OPS officials said the company based its request on increased cost for materials and labor and on anticipated higher labor costs. ine agency said it nas maae no advanced study of the aluminum price situation and is unable to say what action may be taken.

' That was the appraisal of Sena tor Taft's bralntrusters given with a grin oy one of uie men most responsible for General Elsenhow er's victory. Pro or amateur. Taft's advisors were mostly political oldtimers. Maybe that was their trouble. They used the oldtime approach: Bull your way through. When that failed all they had left was the primitive tactic of personal attack. They used that on Gov. Dewey but it dldnt work then, either. Perhaps nothing would have worked. Perhaps Eisenhower's nomination was cinched before the convention started. At any rate, Taft's righthand men are blaming one another now for what hap pened in Chicago. By sheer force, because they con trolled the convention machinery, they rolled over Elsenhower before the convention started by loading the speakers' list wjth pro-Taft people. But. looking back, it's plain now that Taft began losing ground when his Southern followers got into a wrangle with the Elsenhower Deo- ple over delegates. Jl handed the Elsenhower staff something they badly needed, an issue. They worked It for all It was worth. They called it a moral issue, mey cried "theft and cor ruption." They got the Republican governors to yen lor "lair play." This rumpus practically guaran teed Elsenhower would win the di- puled delegates once the quarrel hit the convention floor, and 4ot mis reason: Unless he won, the party would have to go into the campaign with a corruption charge over Its head. the very charge the Republicans wanted to use against the Demo crats. When the action starts in a Greek tragedy, the heroes move steadily toward disaster, their aoom becoming inevitable. Aris totle said the inevitability of It was due to a defect in their - char Lapeer Mayor Yants FBI To Study Eviction Deal LAPEER, Mich. IB Lapeer's Mayor asked the FBI Wednesday to investigate for possible "sub versive influence" In the Lapeer county eviction strife. The request was made by Mayor W. E. Rowden after sympathizers of the evicted widow Elizabeth Stevens moved some of her prop erty back into her padlocked farm Tuesday night in defiance of sher iff's orders. Mrs. Stevens is still confined to a hospital for treatment of high blood pressure, shock and bruises which her physician said were in curred during the eviction. She is expected to be released late this week. Mayor Rowden said he was ask ing FBI investigation of "those who are influencing the people of La peer county to resist the orders of the court and law enforcement officers." Terming the tumultuous eviction battles "a disgrace to the people of Lapeer County and to the state of Michigan as well," Mayor Row den declared: "I believe subversive Influence is at the bottom of the condition now existing," The mayor said his request was not necessarily connected with Tuesday night's action by the wid ow's farmer-neighbors. Under cover of darkness they broke padlocks on the property and carried back into the deserted farmhouse the same modest be longings a sheriff's crew had tossed onto a road shoulder last Friday. Mrs. Stevens, 60-year-old mother of nine children, was dragged off 40 YKAH . . . 1 900 MILLION DOLLAHII Nearly a hair-centurr of Mm and nearly a billion dollar In noger.

Whether there was a detect In Taft's advisors, such as inflexibil ity or Inability to guuge the magni tude of the delenaie dispute, once it started they seemed unable to save themselves. They showed this In barring TV and radio from the National Com mittee hearings on the delegates, an action completely unnecessary since they let newsmen cover every word of the hearings. But it played into the hands of the Elsenhower people by adding to whatever suspicions or doubts they already had been able to plant In the public mind. Next the TaflHes wouldn't let even the newsmen sit In when the National Committee, having finished the hearings, began to de liberate on a decision. The Elsen hower people exploited all this. Too late, the Taft men realised their mistake. When the next step was taken hearings on the dele Kate dispute bv the Credentials Committee newsmen. TV and ra dio were all admitted, not only to the hearings but to the decision sessions, loo. It was when the convention as a whole repudiated their claims that the Taft people attacked Dewey, Again the reaction was not good. Now it's the turn of the Elsen hower staff, which has control of tha party, at least temporarily, to show how they'll operate. As soon as they won, senator Nixon of California was chosen by agreement behind closed doors as the party's vice presidential nom inee. The delegates as a whole had no slate of candidates from which to choose. True, the convention was ex hausted from its five bitter days. True, too, that Republicans and Democrats traditionally make quick work of picking their vice presidential candidate. Nevertheless, selection of a vice president Is almost as Important as choosing a presidential candi date.

When she refused to tell the. sheriff where to take her belong ings, the furnishings were put on the roadside. Before the widow's property was reinstated, the farmers tossed out the belongings of Flint Fireman Richard Newman, 26-year-old ten ant who moved in Friday and out Saturday. Newman left the farm hastily after Sheriff Clark Gregory had withdrawn his special force of dep uties, which had been holding the farm against possible reprisal at tacks. Cities Cited For Sanitation PORTLAND 11 Ten Oregon cities have been ordered to appear before the State Sanitary Authority Friday for failure to Install sewage treatment plants.

Prices, Taxes Offset Income WASHINGTON W The aver age American family made more In 1951 than It did the yoar before but It was worse off because rising prices and climbing taxes more than wiped out the gain In Income. The Federal Reserve Board said Wednesday Its survey of consumer finances showed that average total Income of "spending units" most ly families rose from $3,iM in 1950 to S3.840 in 1951, a rise of about nine per cent. - But consumer prices also went up nine per cent, wiping out the income gain. And increased taxes tipped the scales against the aver age family, cutting buying power below the previous year. Porilander Vet Head LA ORANDE I A. J.

Elsenhower critics may say he was merely being coy, waiting for the right time. But Elsenhower supporters an swer that he had to wrestle' through two convictions. One was that no military man. except in very special conditions, should serve In the While House. The other was that no American should reluse any call to service. Ike's friends also point to his action In 1MB to prove the sin cerity of his reluctance. In Utat year, some said, he might have had the nomination of either party or both. But both friends and critics must agree that the man from Abilene went through a fascinating evolu tion from general to avowed candi date. In April. 1043. speaking of one phase of his Job in Europe, Ike wrote a friend: "Once this war is over, I hope never again to hear the word 'politics.'" In September, 1S43, the word took on a different meaning. While few other people noticed, a legion post boomed him lor president. Said Elsenhower: "Baloney! Why can't a simple soldier be left alone to carry out hla orders? And I furiously object to the word 'candidate' I aln I and won't."- On June 33, 1945, he told a news conference In Abilene: All I want la to be a cltlien of the United Stales, and when the War Department turns me out to pasture that's all I want to be. I want nothing else. It Is (Illy to talk about me In politics. ... "There's no us my denying that I'll fly to the moon, because no one has suggested it. . .The same goes for politics. I'm a soldier and I'm positive no one thinks of me aj a politician." The general was never more wrong. Less than two months latei someone did suggest him for Presi dent. Someone very Important.
