A WELL DESERVED PAT! When City Commissioner Victor Stenholm at Monday night's meeting spoke up in praise of the manner in which the snow removal problem is being handled he gave the city manager and the city street department a well-deserved pat on the back. What the costs of removal for the current winter will be will not be known until spring, for winter conditions are en. tirely unpredictable. Indications are, how' ever, that they will compare favorably with other winters: during which this work was handled by the street department. The manner in which snow is being removed from downtown streets has brought forth rr.uch favorable comment recently from business men and others.

Pavements in the downtown area for the most part are cleared below sidtwalk which is unusual. Much of the success in clearing these streets is due to the adoption of a new method of handling the snow, which is scraped away from the sidewalks and into the center of the street, where it can be picked up easily and thoroughly by the snow loader. When Commissioner Stenholm expressed his approval of the snow removal work, he was expressing the sentiments of many Ironwood citizens. COURT GOES ROOSEVELT, 5-4 Do you remember, only four years ago, when one of the major national issues was not a war in Europe but the conservatism of the U. S.

Supreme Do you recall all the talk about "nine old men." the bitterness of the administration toward the venerable jurists who tossed out New Deal 'egislation, including the AAA and the NRA? And the rumors that floated around about how the President was going to "pack" the court by appointing enough new justices to give him a majority over the conservative bloc? It seems like yesterday; and yet, President Roosevelt has just, appointed the fifth New Dealer within a period of less than four years. With the nomination of Attorney General Frank Murphy to the seat left vacant by the death of Justice Pierce Butler, the score in favor of New Deal is now 5 to it all the o'der members consistently oppose the administration, which they don't. The new members of the high court are all voungsters as Supreme Court justices go. The latest appointee is 47 years old. Justice Douglas is 42: Justice Black.

54; Justice Reed. 56, and Justice Frankfurter, 58. Barring untimely deaths or resignations, thej Rooseveltian influence will remain on thej high court bench for many years. Those four of the Old Jus-! tice Hughes. Justices Stone, McReynolds, feel a little lonely at times.

Since the last presidential election, three resignations and two deaths have cut down the roster of the old court by more than half. Of course, even before 1937, the Supreme Court was not solidly anti-New Deal. Justice Cordoza. who died, and Justice Brandeis, who resigned, were generally sympathetic toward Roosevelt; and Chief Justice Hughes from time to time cast his vote against the majority. But the liberals were still a minority.

The members of the Supreme Court are appointed for life. They are beyond the influence of politics. Their decisions are made on the basis of whatever interpretations their personal philosophies make of the law. The law is not absolute. If it were, many of the present duties of the courts would be eliminated The law is a complicated network of restrictions and licenses placed upon the actions of men.

It is made by men, interpreted by men The interpretation depends largely on the jurist's attitude toward the whole of society. Each Supreme Court justice has a tremendous responsibility toward the nation. Upon the court rests the final judgment on new ideas and processes of government. The new a liberal find itself, in years to come, compelled to judge some of the most vital acts in American CHECKING CRIME Only 12 years ago, about the only way headquarters had of getting in touch with the cop on the beat was to flash a light or ring a bell that summoned the officer to the nearest patrol box. But in 1928, Detroit installed the first municipally operated police radio station.

By short wave transmission, instructions could be sent out directly to officers cruising in patrol cars. Today, shore wave communication among itolice is in operation in 900 American cities, and 28 Ktatcs. To link law enforcement officers together in this manner is to spread a dragnet around an area almost immediately after a crims is reported. Criminals have found it tougher to ply their trade since short wave radio has been enlisted on the side of the law. As the elements of scientific crime detection and criminal apprehension continue to pile up against him, the felon is learning a new meaning for the old axiom, "Crime does not NAZI WOMEN OBJECT A story recently picked up by London newspapers told of a riot, that broke out in Berlin among a group of women who had gathered to listen to Frau von Ribbentrop, wife of the Nazi foreign minister.

According to the tale, Frau von Ribbentrop, arrayed in fashionable clothes, lectured to the Berlin women on how they could get along with a minimum of clothes. The audience resented the advice. It is difficult to determine how much truth is embodied in such stories in wartime. Even British propagandists aren't averse to a bit of "dressing up" to put over a point But the fact that German women are being compelled to get along not only on a paltry wardrobe but on frugal rations as well is widely known. One must wonder how long women, placed under such restrictions, will remain meek.

It is one thing to be sent into the army, given warm and good food, stuffed with high sounding ideologies; it is quite another to be kept at home with not enough food, few clothes, and nothing to do but High-ranking Republicans decided to turn down the Democratic invitation to the Jackson Day dinner and to concentrate instead on full dinner pails. REWARDING DEATH'S AIDE A man you will probably never hear of again was recently awarded the Soviet Union's highest honor, the Order of Lenin, together with the title of Hero of Socialist Labor. His name is Vasilly Alexeivitch Dek- tyaryeff, and his sole claim to fame is a design for a more destructive kind of machine guns. Comrade DektyaryefF's design is said by the USSR to be superior many of the best foreign models. That means it can kill more men, more swiftly.

For such achievement, Stalin is willing to sing his praises. Science is like is both beneficial and destructive. When a nation is at war, someone must figure out methods of destroying the enemy; and for the moment, such inventors arc heroes. But their claim to immortality is hung on the weakest of threads. It is not the technician who bends his talents toward destruction, but the scientist who creates and saves who will be remembered.

Mr. Dektyaryeff may be a hero in the Soviet Union, but he is something entirely different to the rest of the Maybe you ought to start figuring out what you're going to do with that extra day you'll get at the end of February. The most burning question in the new session of Congress is "When do we adjourn?" Current Opinion EXPLAINING THE BUDGET 10rantl Rapldi Press As for the last few years, at least president's budget message is a curious mixture of politics, economics, finance and broad theorizing. At almost every turn the executive seems to fin! it necessary, to explain and excuse his course, to excoriate his critics or to justify his ideas on how the government should be operated. There is no surprise in this course of reasoning.

It has become customary with Mr. Roosevelt, so much so there seems to be a larger outline of political policy in the budget draft than in the annual message to congress. Without attempting to evaluate all his contentions it is worth while to out a ftw of the diversions he has made from plain statement of fiscal affairs. There is. for example, his reference to the arguments of budget balancers as "glib generalities." Having ceased to seek seriously a balance for himself, the president now turns to ridicule those who would still pursue that course, a practice he has consistently followed the last three or four years since those who have taunted him with his own budget balancing promises apparently "got under his skin." Now the president even goes so far as to suggest that the deficits of the Hoover administration should have been iarger instead of smaller.

At least he condemns the whole practice of his predecessor in seeking to curtail public expenditure. At the same time, with the curious insistency which so frequently marks tr.o executive's words, Mr. Roosevevlt takes great pains to show that the aggregate public debt is not all of his making, that much of it was incurred before his incumbency. The true Key to the president's disinclination to recreate a stable budget may be found in his frank admission, concerning certain categories of government activity, that he "would not take the responsibility" for further curtailment. Nevertheless Mr.

Roosevelt has made some progress in recommending reductions. With improved economic conditions at hand that was almost inevitable. Not to make reductions now would have r-een indefensible from any point of view. But for one who states the principle that the government should its debt load In periods of prosperity, while increasing It in depression, the amount of reduction pioposed hardly seems to jibe with the amount of recovery that is in evidence. It may be granted at the outset an immediate balancing of the budget probably could not be achieved.

If. through the adaption of new defense taxes, 'he 1941 deficit is reduced to around (1.700,000.000. as the president suggests it may be, real progress may be made. But there are too many loopholes left to give assurance that this will be accomplished. Mr.

Roosevelt frequently has challenged his does produce a plan by which the budget actually cmild be balanced. At the same time he has shown that he would not be receptive to any plan thst might be devised, for he is ready to defend as absolutely essential any item that the budget balancers might declare to be dispensable. But tho fact is further reduction could be made if there were men in Washington would be w'Uing to try. It has been hinted, for example, that Secretary Morgenthau of the treasury is of the private opinion that the way to meet the cost of farm subsidies is to abolish them. His antipathy to the subsidy system is not new.

And if his Ideas were followed it would mean a saving of (MO.000,000 in the budget at a stroke. However, there are too many votes in the subsidies for farm-minded congressmen to resist them. National defense calls for (1.100,000.000 hi the proposed new budget. That is a great deal more than the total cost of the entire federal government a short generation ago. Perhaps this expenditure Is justified today In view of world conditions.

Vet one is led to wonder whether this nation would teally endanger Itself If it cut a half billion off the total and then concentrated the balance on the points of greatest need. There might -imilar savings in aimost every division of the budget. The whole trouble with 'he budget has been explained privately by some treasury officials who say the nation has developed a appetite on a (6.000.000,000 pocketbook. Tec. It's as simple as that.

we should be satisfied with the proa- pects of some substantial reduction in the pective deficit Probably me win have to be. Yet there may be reasonable contention that more rapid progress should be made toward emerging from this nightmare of cornetutln yean of deficit spending. To many the question is recurring with Increasing frequency: The day of reckoning must come eventually, to why not now? The answer is only partly to be found in economics. It is found more wholly to the field of politics. And the sooner that to realised the better.

WH6M FARM PRICES Bricker Boom Is Built for Man With Job BY BBUCE CATTON really significant pan of the relief stand taken by Governor Bricker of Ohio has been pretty much overlooked.

That part had to do with relief. Governor Bricker declares that Ohio is meeting its relief problem honestly and adequately. Then he adds: "I have also an interest in the relief of over-burdened taxpayers, in the farmer who works from sunup until sun-down and who often receives too small a part of the nation's inccme. I have an Interest in the homeowner who is now burdened with heavy taxes. I have an interest in the relief of the man who has a job.

but who for every four days work done gives one to the government in taxes." That, according to people here who should know, will be the keynote on which the governor is to be presented to Republicans as a presidential prospect during the next six months. While Governor Bricker is officially not a candidate for anything except another term as governor of Ohio, his presidential candidacy is actually being developed very actively by his friends. Just incidentally, the situation has the intimates of Senator Robert Taft. the avowed Ohio candidate, pretty much worried. Eleven U.

S. Army officers and their families in "officers row" at Boiling Field spent a cold and wretched night during the recent wintry spell here. An army sergeant had the detail of tending to their furnaces, for which chore he got (2 per furnace per month. During the cold snap he had to visit each furnace three or four times nightly, and the detail irked him. So, assembling his (22 stipend on pay day.

he strayed off the reservation and got drunk. The fires all went out. the officers and their people shivered, and the sergeant landed in the brig. But he's man has the furnace job now. The Federal Security Agency is likely to grow some more, when-as- and-if another presidential reorganization order comes through.

Likeliest addition Is the Children's Bureau, now in the Department of Labor. President Roosevelt is also giving some thought to giving it the consumer agencies from the Department of Agriculture. One man who was sincerely sorry to see Frank Murphy leave the Department of Justice is Senator Carl A. Hatch of New Mexico, anther of the famous clean-politics bill. That bill expressed Murphy's ideas perfectly, and while he was in the cabinet Hatch had a potent friend in court, so to speak.

Right now Hatch is preparing to push his companion Mil which would prohibit political activity by state employes in all agencies to which the federal government contributes money either by loans or grants. This is a cruel blow at political machines, since every state highway department gets money from Uncle Sam. and the state highway department is usually the backbone of the dominant state political machine. For that very reason, the bill has a good chance of passage; Senator Hatch chuckles as he reflects that senators and congressmen whose own political preserves were reduced by the first Hatch bill are glad enough to see to it that the same grief is handed along to the boys back home. (P.

That applies especially to statesmen who are on the outs with the state machine back home. One solon estimates that the bill will get 23 votes in the Senate on that score alone.)

XOMUS FISHBEIN Strange as it may seem, there are still people who oppose pasteurization of milk because they think the process destroys some of the vital food factors contained in raw milk. If it were not for pasteurization, it would not be possible to provide people in our large cities with a safe milk supply. Recently, an authority in the field of nutrition reviewed the question cf pasteurization as related to nutrition. Both raw milk and pasteurized milk were fed to calves to determine whether there was any difference in the rate of growth, physical condition, body measurements, or resulting composition of the blood. It was found that raw milk and pasteurized milk were about equal in nutritional qualities: and that, if there was any difference, it was so slight that it could not be observed.

However, it was found that there was considerable risk of spreading tuberculosis among calves fed with eommerical raw milk, but not among those using pasteurized milk. It is now believed that use of tuberculin test in cattle and pasteurization cf milk have been fundamental in lowering the tuberculosis rate among cattle. Since bone and joint tuberculosis hi human beings is associated largely with infection of the tubercle germ of the cattle type, another argument for pasteurized milk is apparent.

In this country, we wculd not even think of experimenting on children with raw milk; but in some foreign countries, tests have been made on several thousand school children.

But double-talk is elusive. Double-talk? Let's not go into it too extensively, but here's a brief sample, upon meeting a fellow double-talker on the street: "Please hew are you huh yen thanks screens." The undisputed master of double- talk is that handsome, mustachioed Milanese, Jerry Colonna. who speaks and writes it fluently and probably is the most (intelligible fellow between here and Eskimo- land. So advanced is he in the tongue that he has devised a variant called "Scrambled talk." For example, in English it would go, "Please pass the beans." In scrambled talk, it would be amended to. "Tlease bass the peans." Now Colonna can make a systematic hash of a half- hour speech hi that wise without once stuttering or stumbling over his sentences.
