WASHINGTON, June 21. AD news for every American housewife." That's what Eric Johnston, economic stabilizer, said when House and Senate banking committees, in their drafts of a new defense production bill, cut out scheduled rollbacks of prices designed to make things a bit cheaper for the consumer, or at least hold the line. that the mail should be counted and weighed every morning and, if there are not too many consumer complaints, why bother? He was speaking, also, of other provisions weakening the anti-inflation program, among them, the relaxing of rent ceilings for another boost. 1 fL It isjndeed, "bad news."

But the flaw happens to be that the foundation on which all this was laid has been swept away by the revolutionary force nationalism and is now further menaced by the destroying force of Com munism. If the British understand this, they show little evidence of it And therein lies the essence of the present danger. Above all, it is a failure to real ize that the awesome and overriding respect for the supremacy of Western military and economic power has gone. The British have learned this lesson in some parts of the world better than Americans have learned it, India being a conspicuous example. But as to Iran they still seem to think in terms of force.

Letters From Iran. A British representative, minor in the diplomatic hierarchy but perhaps typical, reacted indignantly at the prediction of an American expert that the sending in of British paratroopers would cause every Iranian to reach for his rifle and start shooting Westerners, British and Americans, in discriminately. "What nonsense!" said the Britisher. "When we sent in Gurkha troops in 1941, they quickly restored order, and exactly one person was killed." This attitude is reminiscent of the Blair House conferences a year ago leading to the American decision to resist the attack of the North Korean Communists. Dur ing those conferences at least one 1 high ranking military authority predicted with offhand confidence that, at the first sight of American planes, the Communists would flee behind the farthest hills.

That prediction, based on the old easy assurance of the awe inspired by the white man and his superior weapons, has been proved slightly wrong. Letters coming from Iran in recent days from a member of the parliamentary committee charged with nationalizing the oil industry make abundantly clear the Iranian attitude. These letters, from which excerpts are quoted here, come from a man who has always considered him self a staunch friend of America "As clearly set forth in our CENTRAL INSTITUTE FOR DEAF MARKS I5TH ANNIVERSARY A three-day observance of the fifteenth anniversary of the founding of Central Institute for the Deaf opened today with registration of institute alumni from many parts of the country.

"We further declare that in order that there shall be no interruption to the production, refining and transportation of the oil, we are ready to continue the same operations and program of the former company, and to maintain in employment the entirety the former foreign and native employees with the same salaries and privileges which they have enjoyed heretofore. "All we wish to accomplish is to put an end to the interference the former company -and its relentless agents in the internal policies.

and affairs of Iran. We also intend to use the Income from our oil to improve the welfare of the people of Iran In a letter dated June 14, the same correspondent said: "When, in 1933, the company made an agreement with Iran to take the place of the old one which had been canceled. Iran felt that she was deceived. She can never forget that calamitous experience. Hence she by no manner of means is ready to recognize the former company under any official status or to agree to any right on its part for further interference in any matter.

The Mexican Analogy. "In fact, the utmost agreement shall be within the same limits which the oil law provides: and that is that the oil shall be sold only to the former customers but at the fair international price or, to be more exact former customers shall be given the right of priority to buy at the fair international price." That may be irrational, illog ical, unlawful. But it is a. fact. And playing ostrich in the face of facts has sent more than one civilization down the drain of history.

In 1938 the Government of Mexico expropriated the oil re serves and Installations of American and British companies operat ing there. A tremendous outcry went up from the property own ers. But the then Secretary of State, Cordell Hull, with master ful calm and common sense stood firm above all in the -recognition of the sovereign rights of the Mexican Government The situation in Iran is not entirely similar to that of Mexico, but there are definite similarities. And the stakes are 'far, far greater. WARREN C.

He was 64 years old. Mr. Kasten, born in Germany, came to this country in 1922 and for several years appeared in concerts, serving once as accompanist for Helen Traubel, St.

Louis op eratic soprano. After being advised to give up his career, he was employed by the Missouri social security divi sion until 1943, when he was ap- pointed to the infirmary position. In the last eight years, Mr. Kasten had known by their first names the majority of the 1400 patients in his care. He was credited by Joseph Shank, in firmary superintendent.

with knowing most of the patients in terests and backgrounds and with being able to converse easily with a large number of them. In addition, Shanks said, Mr. Kasten became known as highly skilled in ferreting out hidden assets of patients, with the result that he increased contracts of the infirmary about 550 per cent in the years he served as social service director, saving taxpayers thousands of dollars. If patients or their relatives are found to have money, they pay all or part of the expenses of their care. Shank explained.

Having no relatives in this country, Mr. Kasten devoted himself exclusively to his work, with the concentration learned as a concert performer. He took no vacations, remained at tne in firmary Sundays and days off as well, and spent his time reading medical books if not otherwise busy. The result, Shank said, was that Mr. Kasten could converse on medicine almost as an equal with physicians at the hospital.

Surviving are nis sister, miss Selma Kasten, and a niece, Mrs. Gertrude Shroeter, both of the west zone of Berlin. Funeral serv ices will be tomorrow at 1:30 p.m. at the Kriegshauser undertaking establishment, 4228 South Kings-highway, with burial in Valhalla Cemetery. F.D.R.'S MEMBERSHIP CARD TO G.O.P.

If the housewife had a Jobbyist here, he or she could really tell story which her representatives don't say much about. About beef, for instance. The first 10 per cent rollback already put into effect was supposed to take care of the packers, that is, to reduce the price they paid for beef cattle so they could meet their rising costs of doing business and hold their prices to the wholesaler. The other rollbacks projected, one in August and one in October of per cent each, a total of per cent, were supposed to be for the benefit of the consumer so that his prices would be reduced in a few But the House committee would stop with taking care of the packers and let the consumer go hang, while the Senate committee's bill can be interpreted to mean one measly 2 per cent rollback for the consumer, instead of 9 per cent as planned.

All of these, along with rent, are items in the fam ily budget which the housewife must figure these days so close- ly and anxiously, though beef has become tbeoreti cal in many useholds, since it's just about been written off the menu. Unless expert economists who have studied the inflation problem exhaustively are wrong, prices will go soaring again if Johnston Congress, itself, should finally and unwisely ratify what its two banking committees propose to perpetrate. For inflationary pressures are expected to increase soon with stepped-up defense program spending, and removal of controls will blow off the lid. Whose Representatives? What has happened here is a sad reflection on Congress when you analyze its attitude. The "housewife," who stands as the symbol of the consumer realm because she is manager of the home economy, is being made the dupe in a strange chain of circumstances.

For example. President Truman sought the other night in his radio address to the nation to arouse the housewives. Eric Johnston is doing the same. Housewives, presumably, are supposed to sit down and write letters to Congress, or, if able to afford it, to telegraph. Most housewives if knowledge of a small circle is any guide are too busy to be composing letters to members of Congress.

Some have written in. But the reaction at the Capitol seems to be, placidly oh, not very many. So just forget it. Does it suddenly occur to anybody what is wrong with all of this? Does it occur to anybody that Congress was elected to represent all of the people, including consumers, and that perhaps that should be taken for granted and not need letters as reminders? In stead, the attitude seems to be Rehabilitation of Structure and 150-Bed Addition Planned. (Picture in Everyday Magazine.)
