He decided several weeks ago that congressional action against deflation was necessary. Up to that point he had insisted upon congressional action to avert the dire consequences of inflation. A common sense view of the employment situation is that government not beyond the 542,000,000,000 a year the government is already not necessary. the sole exception of the war years, when the government was spending and squandering $100,000,000,000 a year, there never were as many people at work as at present. Employment conditions are normal, based on past records.

Under normal conditions five per cent of the nation's workers may be looking for jobs at any given time. This is known as the irreducible minimum even in good times. Furthermore, if the good times so freely predicted by the President are to continue, there is no need to worry about present unemployment, which will adjust itself in the days ahead. HIGH TENSION 'SUCCESS' HAS LOST REAL MEANING OF LIVING We've been hearing for years that many of our top business executives kill themselves with the strain of overwork. Perhaps most of us have felt this situation was just an unfortunate accompaniment of modern living about which nothing could be done.

But now comes a suggestion that this tense pace is neither normal nor necessary, even for today. Writing in Collier's magazine, Howard Whitman quotes psychiatrists as declaring it is an abnormal, neurotic drive rather than brains, energy or ambition that leads a man to punish himself with work and possibly "succeed himself to death." Business leaders can amass plenty of evidence to support their contention that their problems and burdens have mounted to dizzy heights in the last two decades, and that their own tensions have risen in proportion. The doctors, however, decline to admit that most executives have to work as hard as they often do. They insist that the men who let work dominate their lives are out of balance in some way. say some have a distorted idea of life that allows no place for fun and rest.

Some men simply don't know how to use free time and tie themselves to work to avoid boredom. Others are ridden by failure, and competing executives, of insecurity they often can't define. So these high voltage individuals focus so hard on making a living that they forget all about making a life. They deprive their families of badly needed companionship and guardianship. They lose the matchless riches of leisure, the fulfillment of spiritual wants that can't be satisfied in the grubbing world of work.

And into the bargain, they kill themselves. In so doing, they rob business of brain power, training and leadership. Thus they defeat the very purposes for which they are supposedly slaving. The doctors' advice to business executives is to grow up, to stop racing each other to the grave and grasping for the symbols of life instead of life itself. Any sensible person would be likely to agree Dr.

His joy comes from being a person, a fully realized human being." It was only when it became apparent that Tammany Hall was conniving to gain cbntrol of the city and its resources, that my course became Mayor William O'Dwyer of New York, announcing that he tcould seek re-election.

KEEPING HARRY UP AT NIGHT We (Chinese) are -fighting in a hot war what our friends are oppasing in a cold war. It's up to them to judge the value of the fight we are maVing in the general war against Premier Yen Hsi-Shan of China. UNEQUAL PENSIONS If this particular postwar era could be called anything, it might be termed the era of pensions. The desire on the part of virtually everybody to be assured of-monthly payments at the age of retirement is remarkable in a people committed not so ong ago to the personal policy of taking care of themselves. Even foreign countries are noting America's great passion for pensions.

Now pensions are 'perfectly good if actuarily sound. Private insurance has stepped in with its social security program designed through co-operation of workers and employers to provide for old age. Many employing firms have adopted their own programs, often voluntarily, sometimes under iressure of unions. States and local governments re many pension programs for government workers. But for all their worthiness, America is running into trouble.

Some local government plans, such as those for firemen and policemen, go as high as $250 or more. What will the situation be in America with some getting pensions of $200 a month and others only $40 or so? The chorus of complaints that will arise will make present protests about unequal division of wealth sound weak. No citizen is going to be happy with $40 a month if his neighbor gets $160 re. The politicians who are trying to cure the income irritations of the voters will find themselves engulfed in a new wave of national bitterness.

FOLLOWING AMERICA Defending his own Socialist government Fsr- eign Minister Ernest Bevin declared England is only following the example set by the United States which, he insists, is as much a welfare state as is Great Britain. America is doing an even better job at it than England, in the opinion of Minister Bevin, who points out that this country has unemployment insurance, with very high payments, sick benefits, and right now is discussing the creation of a great medical service.

Nor is that all, he declares. The United States has given basic prices to agricultural products, which England has been unable to do because of a failure to reach trade agreements. Under its Labor government England has been promoting nationalization, and a womb-to-the-tomb welfare program, many features of which, Bevin insists, are in the American manner. All of this was brought out in a House of Commons debate, when Conservatives criticized government policies as failures. Laborites were taken to task for accepting financial aid from the United States.

In answering the charge Bevin made a significant statement, and one which should not be lost on the American taxpayer. It was beyond contemplation, he said, that the world could be stabilized without American aid. That was true even under the Churchill regime, he added. Taxpayers, take note! A dog show is where folks spur dogs on to put on the dog. It's when a witness says "I can't remember" that you're sure he knows all the answers.

But it is clear we are reaping some advantage from it Russia's anger over Tito led to her withdrawal 1 of support for his territorial claims in Austria. Thus one of the main roadblocks to an Austrian peace treaty was removed. On the other hand, Yugoslavia's wrath over the I Soviet-inspired Cominform campaign against the Tito regime has induced the Marshal to stop help" ing the Greek Communist rebels. By closing the Greek-Yugoslav frontier and ing aid to the rebel cause, Tito has given the Greek government a big lift in its hitherto largely less efforts to stamp out the rebellion. If Stalin and Tito can just stay it seems they western powers ought to rack up a pretty good score from this situation after all.

"Only a man who can impress his constituents with his character can continue to build up confidence," said Mr. Farley, "and he can sometimes do "his even when certain other qualities are l3C! These qualities were showmanship and color, both of which made Franklin D.

"The best politicians build up corps of aides who will go through hell for them.

Governor Dewey's team has stuck with him since he first entered government, and so strong is its loyalty that not even successive defeats have alienated its members from him. Politicians who haven't this particular quality may go a certain distance, but rarely Farley prefaced his recipe with the definition of politics written more than 150 years ago by Andrew Oliver in Boston: "Politics is the most hazardous of all professions. There is not another in which a man can hope to do so much good to his fellow neither is there any in which by a mere loss of nerve he may do widespread is there another in which he may be so easily lose his own is there another in which a positive and strict veracity is so difficult. But danger is the inseparable companion of honor. With all the temptations and degradations that beset it, politics is still the noblest career can choose.

1133 'MMMM GIRL' Over the years Hollywood has joyously given us its "It Girl," its "Oomph Girl," its "Sweater Girl" and even "The they've all become big movie names. Now we get the "Mmmm Girl." Miss Marilyn Monroe still wasn't quite sure what an "Mmmm Girl" has to do when I talked to her. "But I'm sure none of the girls ever got hurt by being called such names," she said. Miss Monroe is probably right. They don't get hurt, but they get mighty tired, even sick, of the tags.

Miss Monroe, who is practically an unknown, is a 21-year-old, long-haired blonde from Van Nuys, Cal. She has a nice fiat waist that rises to an (mmmmmm!) bra line. She also has long, pretty legs. "But why do they call you the Mmmm I asked her. "Well," she said, "it seems it started in Detroit where they were having a sneak preview of my picture." "But why?" "Well," she said, doubtless remembering it just like the press agent told her to, "it seems some people couldn't whistle so they went "Why couldn't they whistle?" I said.

"Well," she said, "some people just can't whistle." "Maybe they couldn't whistle because they had their mouths full of pop corn," I suggested.

"They gave me a bit part in a picture but cut it out," she says. So she left there. One day she met Louis Shurr, the Hollywood agent who keeps a lot of mink coats for emergencies, and without so much as offering her a coat he suggested she go to see Producer Lester Cowan.

Justice White, a Democrat from Louisiana and a Catholic, this was first lime anyone of that faith had been named as chief justice since the days of President Jackson, who appointed Chief Justice Taney in 1836.

He and Joey Adams, who wrote "Gags to Riches," developed a comedy act which started out in New York. Tony remarked that he did not think he ever would become a good bridge player because he does not like to gamble. Of course, I have always claimed that bridge is not a gambling game.
