The Alton Democrat from Alton, Iowa • Page 5

''WKSDAY, APRIL 13, 1950 rm ALTON, IOWA DEMOCRAT PAGE FIVE COHGBLCSSMAM District in lOViA The McCarthy Affair Emotionalism appears to have so dominated the reporting and comments on the Senator McCarthy statements real issue is still obscure. It is rather doubtful if charges of traitor, spy, or even of being a Com- munits can be proven against anyone mentioned. But what McCarthy has shown and quite well documented is that certain people in the State Department have been rather clearly identified with Communist-minded people and groups. Such association is not a crime, but such association does however, render those people undesirable employees of the State Department. Senator McCarthy has made some mistakes, to be sure, and his errors were quickly magnified.

He stands almost alone against all the power and brass of the Executive Department of tlie Government. The President has decided not to allow the Investigating Committee of the Senate to inspect the State Department loyalty WHAT IS THRIFT? In its broad sense it is handling money wisely. It is getting the most out of every dollar of the income. It is the power of making one's dollars bring more dollars after he has earned them. True thrift does not curtail buying power, it increases it.

These records have allegedly given the persons Jn question a clear biU of health.

If so, what harm In seeing them? If so, why not oPen them up and clean up the whole mess? There is something wrong some place. The President's action leaves many people smeared whom the Committee should publicly clear after inspection of the files. Perhaps Senator McCarthy erred in listing any names, but the President makes the greater error by leaving them smeared instead of clearing if the files can clear them. Unemployment The unemployment problem is growing worse each day. Despite good times nearly 5 million are out of work and the number is growing.

Unemployment, in fact, is beginning to look more or less permanent. One trouble is the growth of the labor force for jobs cannot open up fast enough to keep abreast at the present business levels. It is estimated that in five years from now, unless business actually rises steadily from the present high level, there may be 12 million unemployed in this country. The rise in tlie labor force this year alone, including some 700,000 young men and women who graduate from college, will fur- tlier complicate the matter. How to meet the future is the problem.

Public works would only afford temporary relief. A shorter work week and easier and bigger pensions are also being suggested. Our population is growing by leaps and bounds and the baby boom is continuing. In fact, the baby crop last year was the record. In a nutshell, the unemployment problem in a country with expanding population requires an expanding level of business activity.

A recession of any kind would be loaded with political dynamite. SIOUX CENTER From The News 4 Dial 2801 Alton, Iowa Mr. and Mrs. Henry De Vries were pleasantly surprised on their 45th wedding anniver-' sary Thursday evening, March 23 by the Vermeer relatives. Those present' were Mr.
