The Record-Argus from Greenville, Pennsylvania • Page 9

GREENVILLE, FRIDAY, AUGUST 4,1950 SECOND SECTION RECORD. ARGUS EDITORIAL PAGE The Cost of War Is Up Like Everything Else Like most everything else these days, the price of war is going up by loaps and bounds. In World War Two, for instance, the maintenance of a soldier cost Uncle Sam $1,900 a year. That figure has since risen to $4,000. A fighter plane which formerly cost $100,000 now costs $150,000.

In World War Two the cost of an aircraft carrier was $65,000,000 it is twice that amount. It is the opinion of Senator Edward Martin, of Pennsylvania, that another world war lasting four years would cost a minimum of $600,000,000,000 (b). In announcing his support of the Byrd- Bridges amendment to the general appropriations bill. Sen. Martin was quoted yesterday as saying: "World War One cost $25,000,000,000 (b) end World War Two cost $356,000,000,000 (b).

If World War Three should continue for four years, it would cost a minimum of 600 billion dollars." That cost will have to be met of necessity, the Senator pointed out, but much of the burden can be absorbed by government economies In non-defense spending. What Congress must have the courage to do, he said, is to say "no 11 to every pressure group which places selfish interest above the national interest. According to Senator Byrd, government expenditures for purely domestic purposes have increased 77 per cent since 1948. "With a war on our hands," he said, "some of these outlays must be cut unless we are going to spend ourselves into the kind of bankruptcy the Russians are counting on." It has long been Soviet doctrine tliat in the United collapse from inner weaknesses, and that then communism-would take over the world with a minimum of difficulty. And the' surest way to bring that situation fi)3out is to throw our billions away home on phony welfare schemes and socialistic programs while we are trying to bolster the whole anti- Soviet world in stemming communist military aggression.

"Security" has become one of the great catch words, and it is time we analyzed it. Real security for this nation must be based on hard work and rigorous economy at home, in order to provide the money and the energies we must use abroad. There -oan be- no security in any bankrupt government, as has been clearly demonstrated.

By J. WEDNESDAY NIOHT was Barber Shop Night at the Cleveland Stadium. It was announced that there were, among others, 4,000 present who followed the vocation of hirsute abscission and cranial manipulation.

A feature was a barber shop quartette supplied by Cleveland chapter of the Society for the Preservation of Barbershop Quartette Singing. The quartette members were attired In white. They wore black ties and black walrus mustaches. They were good. At the close of their program they doffed their Gay Nineties Mustaches.

Mr. and Mrs. Harold'E. Paxton, who were among those present, then recognized Sidney Hesse, formerly wazzer of Greenville, later a lawyer and assemblyman in Cleveland. At the close of the game this surmise was proved correct.

Sidney had just left the grounds but the basso of the quartette said it had been, Indeed, none other than Sidney Hesse. He was the "lead." THAT James G. Dimmick built the temporary altar used in the L. M. dedicatory ground-breaking ceremony for the new Holy Trinity Lutheran church and built It from the residue of the old pipe organ of the razed church building, Is partly true.

It was built by Mr. Dimmick and It was built from the materials of the old pipe organ but It was not built specially for the foregoing-mentioned occasion. It was built for use in the Sunday School room back in last May and came in use handily and appropriately at the ground-breaking ceremonies. THERE is now a colony of chipmunks in the Alhambra Place neighborhood and being "cute" and friendly these little fellows are making friends and keeping them.

Wren met Mr. Chipmunk head on. She jumped on him and picked him lustily, driving -him down off the pole and to shelter. For size and weight the wren can lick almost anything with feet or feathers, or without.

Alcohol is now being injected into the veins of patients after an operation.

Many persons need a sedative following operation, something to calm the mind and allay pain. Morphine has been one of the chief narcotics used, but there are reasons why physicians favor other typos of sedative. With the use of alcohol injections, the need for sedation by narcotics after operation has been reduced, in some hospitals by as much as thirty to fifty per cent. Alcohol injections increase the caloric which is important in those cases where there has boon a complete lack of food. Alcohol injection may be used in heart patients with comparative safety due to the power of alcohol injection to dilate the blood vessels because there is a lack of effect on blood pressure.

The use of alcohol injection lessens the sensitivity to pain, the mind remains fairly normal, and there is no dopey feeling, but rather a sense of well-being, and loss of anxiety.

CAPITAL LETTER By JANE EADS Washington, Aug. is booming at tho S. Mint. In addition to the output of domestic coins and coins for several foreign nations, the mint has put on sale "proof" coins for collectors. Proof coins, last issued and sold by the mint in 1942, are coins of regular design and five, 10, 25 and 50 cent-pieces.

Only difference in that they are stamped from specially prepared metal on a hand-operated hydraulic press, and the dies ere highly polished and are buffed before each coin is stamped. This gives them a mirror-like surface. The sets sell for $2.10. The difference between the face value of the set, 91 cents, covers the postage and special work in proofing. Leland Howard, assistant director of the mint, says the mint has about 10,000 sets on hand.

Until additional sets have been manufactured there will be a limit of five sets to a person. All proof coin sets will be sold at the Philadelphia Mint. No silver dollars have been minted since 1935, Mr. Howard says, although "we have a heavy supply of silver on hand in the treasury and in some federal reserve banks." The supply dates back to the 1880s, when silver was in its hey-day, William Jennings Bryan was running for the presidency on a silver platform and there was strong support for silver as a monetary base metal. People just don't like silver dollars much anymore.

At present, Mr. Howard told me, there are some 170,000,000 in circulation and some 320,000,000 in the Treasury. More than 1,100.000,000 jviper dollars are in circulation one silver dollar to about six paper bills. The U. S.

In 19-19 tho mint made 30.000.000 coins for China, 32.000,000 fnr Ethiopia and wrll over 32.000,000 for Venezuela, It also mado coins for Cuba, the Dominiican Republic. Saudi Arabia, Honduras and Mexico. total of 156,687.044 pieces in all. In this country the demand for coins Is picking up again, hut Mr.

Howard says you've got to understand coin demands before you can see the reasons for minting new supplies. Things like changes in taxes, the increase in vending machines and the use of parking meters affect coinage.

FOXY ANb FREDDY Cooking for Cranks By FREDERICK AND ALICE FOX PITTS I She Replies: Ho Says: My wife says it's a difficult and unrewarding task to cook for me because I seldom comment on her meals. How can she, she ask.s, tell which dishes I like. If I'd just cooperate a little-, she pleads, things would be easier; she'd get more satisfaction from cooking, I'd get what I wanted to eat, tra-la. So after a very fine dinner concerning which I had only one minor complaint, I told Foxy how much I'd enjoyed it.

Then I inquired what the juicy stuff was she had put on the beets. "Butter," she answered. "What else could it be?" "If you don't mind," I ed, "I wish you'd use less." "Can't," she snapped. I put on as little as possible." "How much on the beets we had for dinner?" "One teaspoonful." "Then put on a half-tcaspoon- ful." "No," she replied. "In the future I'll just leave it off altogether." Her tone couldn't have been crosser if I'd asked her to 'do something terrible when, at a matter of fact, I was merely trying to cooperate like she's been urging me to.

THE NATION TODAY Family Allowances By JAMES Washington, Aug.

4 The government, during World War II, gave allowances to the members of the armed forces below the rank of commissioned officers. For example: If a private, drafted into the service, had a wife and set aside $22 of his pay each month, the government added $28 to it, giving the wife a total of $50 a month. And if he had children, he didn't have to put up any money for them. The gov- rnmcnt gave tho first chile? $30 month, and all other children $20 each. Congress abolished those fam- ily allowances in October, when, at the same timo, it raised service- men's pay.

But Ju-mcs MarJow now, with the country re-arming, Congress is thinking or renewing these allowances and even increasing them. A bill to do that is being considered by the House armed services committee. This is just, a starting point. So this bill has a long way to go before it can be- law. The bill, as it it may bo MARLOW work this way: A serviceman has a wife.

If he sets aside $30 of his monthly pay for her, tho government would add $45, giving the wife a total of $75. And the government would give each child $25. Under tho old law dependent parents and brothers and slstcra of a serviceman got money from the government. Under the bill being considered parcnt.n would get money, but not brothers or sisters. The officers, of course, aro better paid than the non-commissioned servicemen.

Under the old law they got no family allowances Nor would they get any under the bill in the House. But officers did, and do, got al lowa.ncrs.from the government for food and lodging for themselves and their families. Why didn't Congress provide allowances for tho men being draflct" now? For one good reason: Under tho present draft law men bcwtcen and 26 can be. drafted and norio with dependents can be drafted. Having a dcpen dent is roftsnn for deferment.

This all right bcruiiKi until tho Korean crisis the dmf itself had been unnecessary. Thf armed forces were getting all tin men they needed by voluntary on listmontfl.
