This vast reservoir was built up during the war when there were many things people couldn't buy. The all-time peak in liquid savings was $41.6 billion in 1944, of which $18 billion represented cash. The volume of actual savings, experts say, is still high. But people are putting huge chunks of it Into non-liquid investments, such as the purchase of homes.

If It's For Lancaster The Eagle-Gazette Is For It WASHINGTON WASHINGTON Some military observers in Washington suggest that Russia's motive in shooting down the unarmed, missing United States Navy Privateer patrol plane may have been a hope to recover secret American navigation and detection equipment. Defense officials are tight-lipped, but it is doubtful if any, advanced devices would have been risked in an aircraft operating near the Soviet border.

Nevertheless, the off-chance might have led Red airmen into the unprovoked attack. Much has been printed in technical journals about the Navy's newest submarine detection equipment, such as MAD (magnetic detection), and sono-buoy. There is, of course, the possibility that the Privateer was equipped with new gimmicks end that the Navy took the risk in order to test the equipment against Russian submarines operating in the Baltic. ARMED PATROLS Look for a drive in Congress for the arming of United States patrol planes as a result of the Privateer incident Several senators already have demanded the arming of American military planes'. It is certain that mounting demands for such procedure will be made in both the Senate and the House.

The Navy is standing pat on its orders that patrol planes must be unarmed. Some defense officials, howeer, are said to approve arming of the planes, though they are reluctant to take the initiative. These officials want Congress to start the "arm to the teeth" move so the military can't be accused of "warmongering." The final decision rests with the. White House. Right now, there is no indication that President Truman would approve such a bold step.

a MONEY Personal income is near an all-time high in present-day dollars, but the amount of money people are laying aside for ready use in case of emergency is down to the pre-war level. In fact, it is less if the decline in the dollar's value is taken into account. The Securities and Exchange Commission says that "liquid savings" by the American public totaled around $4.3 billion dollars in 1949. In 1939, when the dollar was worth much more, the total was $4.4 billion. Liquid savings means money the public could lay its hands on instantly, in case of need.

Paradoxically, the accumulated volume of liquid savings is beyond all bounds. It is more than $300 billion. The SEC says there is about $265 billion in these categories alone: Cash and bank deposits, government securities, private life in is dangerous for starvation in Western Europe might touch off the fire Communists so far have tried unsuccessfully to kindle against democratic governments. The ECA predicted recently that "food import requirements of Western Europe will continue at a high rate after 1952, despite steady restoration of domestic agricultural production." The agency warned: "Should there be serious crop failures an ever present possibility economic gains in Europe not only can be halted, but reversed." Thus the perennial demand for extensive reclamation projects is being pressed with more vigor than ever. ANTI-SNORKEL SHIPS The United States isn't the only country racing against time to find a solution to the fast, snorkel-type subs which are being virtually "mass-produced" by Russia.

Britain and Canada have assigned top priority to subdetection work and to the building of speedy anti-submarine vessels. For the time being, these vessels undoubtedly will be converted from other forms of naval units, such as destroyers and old-type sub chasers. However, these are best stopgap measures. A British naval authority recently conceded that "the answer to the 20-knot submarine has not yet been produced At the same time, however, he noted that the United States, Canada and Great Britain are working on the problem and pointed to one aspect of the fast sub that works in behalf of the defenders. That is the fact that although the newest subs can travel 20 knots underwater, this speed can be maintained for only a relatively short time, so that if the anti-sub vessels are able to keep contact, they will then be in a position to make their attack on the sub.

THIRTY YEARS AGO Hocking River passing through Lancater was very high at an early morning hour from the continuous rains of several days. It was about as high as it had been for several years but was expected to recede rapidly after the rains halted. The lowlands around Sugar Grove were inundated by the overflow.

Owing to some carpenter work being done in the kitchen at the Country Club, the date of serving meals was extended from May 1 to May 15.

Jan Savitt died Oct. 4, 1948. EVA GABOR got one night off from her Broadway role in "Happy Times" to fly to Hollywood and move her things out of her house which she just. sold. She had a car waiting at the theater door after the performance and boarded the plane in make-up.
