Can How High r-. I I r' TAMPA My children bad the privilege of attending the Summer program iit Chamberlain Ilich School. In their behalf. I would ljke to thank their instructors. From their accounts they brought to me each day upon returning from this program, I think there should be recognition shown.

I feel too little of thanks is ever given to the persons who deserve it. Instead of this thanks to the leaders of tins one even though my thoughts mi this matter hegan here. 1 would like to extend them to all workers in the Summer pro-ram. The plans that were made for two months to keep interest built up and renewed from day to day was a task within itself, but to carry this plan forward with the actual working with the children was another treat task. From day to day.

these leaders arrived at their appointed place to welcome these children. I'm sure there were mornings they would have liked to have gone to tho beach or jut leisurely stayed at home. The materials used in the art and craft training were laid out day by day and all children had something constructive to do. Tho exercises which were performed were given in such a manner that coordination of body and following through with a request was done as play and not as a form of teachinu. Every form of teaching in all phases of this program was given in form of play which is a diversion from recular school and which cave the new and exciting interest for each day.

The music that was offered during tins program to many was almost private lessons. To those of us who are unable to afford even two hours a week in music, to our children were given five hours a week of this training. So tp all those who had a hand in this planning and teaching, we are greatly thankful for your time and patience with our children. MRS. OSCAR BROWN.

CL'i DE R. WHITE The Jack Go? "We do indeed have a built-in inflation," says Business Expert Henry Hazlitt, writing in Newsweek. "And it is built in by government policy. Among its foundation stones are tho Norris-LaGuardia Act, the Walsh-Healey Act, the Fair Labor Standards Act, the Wag-ner-Taft-Hartley Act (and the mass of NLRB and court decisions) and the Employment Act of 1946. Under these laws the government has not merely encouraged but in effect forced the creation of industrywide unions with irresponsible power to force continuous wage increases.

"There is no economic problem, whatever to slopping inflation. It could be stopped overnight. Hut this would involve not only courage in the monetary field but an 'agonizing reappraisal' of the labor policy of the last 25 years that neither the Republicans nor the Democrats, as a party, have the courage to make The Hazlitt theory, of course, would be loudly disputed by Messrs. John L. Lewis, David McDonald.

Walter Rcuther et al. They usually make the novel argument that all wage increases are non-inflationary which is much the same as contending that potatoes au gratin are non-fattening. Wage increases certainly are not wholly responsible for current inflation. Other cost factors like higher interest rates and some profit boosting contribute their share. But it stands to reason that if wage rates are raised every year, they will inevitably elevate production costs and provide the pressure for price increases al! the way.

MJNNtAPOUS 1BUN VERY DRIVER who has had tho -L- misfortune to have to change a tire cn the highway knows the sweat that goes with the pumping of the bumper jack. Up it creaks, a painful notch at a time; the body of the car rises disturbingly high before the wheel begins to lift off the ground. And with each turn of the spiral you wonder nervously: How high can it go before the car teeters off the jack and comes crashing down? This is the situation with the American economy today. The inflation jack is still pumping. The latest consumer price report shows the cost of living index at a new high for the 10th month in a row.

In the 15 months since March 1956 the consumer's dollar has lost almost a nickel in "purchasing power. And there's no letup in sight How high can it go before the law of gravity sets in? Economists don't agree. They don't even agree fully on what keeps the jack rising. Normally, a light supply and a heavy demand create inflation; or an unusual increase in the money supply creates inflation. These normal causes are not visibly present today.

Demand is good but the ration has food to burn and factories which can produce more of everything than the market can swallow. Higher interest rates, deliberately fostered by the Federal Reserve Board, have restricted the availability of money. So what's the answer? The answer, in the opinion of some experts, is that the hand on the jack handle is the muscular fist of the big labor unions. The unions in the basic industries, like coal and steel, demand and get a wage increase every year; this increase, passed down the line (perhaps with a little extra added by the industry) automatically gives a nationwide push to inflation. )rnt' Pearson Who Shut Off The Gas Suit?

It was to have been filed in U.S. District Court in Milwaukee July 8 asainst three important gas companies American Natural Gas.

Peoples Gas Light Coke, and Northern Natural Gas. The Justice Department had the bill of complaint drafted and a press release all ready to issue. But the press release was never issued. The bill of complaint was never filed. Suddenly and mysteriously the antitrust suit was called off.

Ev-Gov. Tom Dewey, counsel for Teoples Gas, is gncn credit by some for having the antitrust suit called off suddenly. Dewey is very close to Attorney General Browncll. who managed his campaign for President in 1944. Dewey was out of the United States and not available for comment this week, but in the past he has told this column that he made it a practice never to intervene in matters affecting the Eisenhower administration Washington.

died in the Senate last session and. what with Civil Rights and the chances don't look much better now. Senators Holland and Small icrs "need a prodding'' if the resolution is to be passed this session, says the Pcnsacola Journal. And, casting a suspicious eye in the direction of St. Augustine, the Journal observes: "Perhaps the Senators think it controversial, that maj be St.

Augustine or some other areas might object Wc certainly recognize that St. Augustine is the oldest permanent colony in the United States. We merely want it recognized that the first attempted colony was here." Weil, politicians might avoid taking a stand in this matter, for fear of offending community pride in cither Pcnsacola or St. Augustine. But we have no hesitancy in stating our own position.

We say, frankly, sincerely and without northern United States. Canadian pas is hmhly coveted. Various companies have been eyins the vast and larpely undeveloped wealth' of Canada.

So the proposed "civil rights" legislation is. in some of its aspects, a throwback to the riavs of "-ov ei nment by injunction." Tlie labor unions fought this st i cniiou in i-reKiis years desperately hard up for gas. So was Sen. Alexander Wiley cf Wisconsin. Gov.

They represent areas badly in need of pas due in part to the defense industries concentrated in the Middle West; due also to the coming of the St. Lawrence Seaway. In Chicago, several thousand homes have applied for gas but can't get it due to insufficiency of supply. In Minnesota, plans are under way for the rehabilitation of worked-over iron ore mines, but this is dependent upon an supply of gas. As a result of indignation by Midwest Governors, the Justice Department prepared its antitrust suit acainst the three former Insull companies.

--ssC life a ejfiocj pli.c to plsco to live. There are two vital points at which nuclear disarmament is unattainable because they cannot be inspected. There can be no enforceable agreement to reduce the stockpiles of nuclear weapons because it is entirely possible to conceal such stockpiles completely. There can be no enforceable agreement to reduce the volume of fissionable material already produced to make nuclear weapons because there is no method of detecting or accounting for past production. Thus the longer we postpone a beginning acrcement.

the constantly bigger will be the volume of weapons and fissionable material which, cannot be embraced in such an agreement. Finally, there is a relatively new nicht-niare which haunts American policy-makers and which, we believe, cannot fail to haunt the Kremlin. We know and Moscow knows that the tme is near when a relatively cheap but massively destructive hvdrogen bomb can be made. When that time comes that hydrogen bombs are available almost anywhere, then all prospect of disarmament is out the window and world war would be at the whim of the weakest and most reckless. "AS MATTERS ARE GOING." Mr.

Dulles said frankly, "the time will come when the pettiest and most irresponsible dictator could get hold of weapons with which to threaten immense harm." Only an early agreement which will end the production of nuclear weapons and permit the suspension ef tests can keep these weapons from dangerously spreading around the world and ending up in the hip pocket of a little dictator-on-the-make. Thee arc the real rcaser. why there is a sense of urgency in the London talks. As to the temptation to go too far tot fast, there are bound to be some risks that cannot be fmeseen, but as ore not acclaimed for his flexibility. Mr.

Dulles very usefully warns that "the risks of seeking to move forward are far less than the risks of bcin frightened into immobility." WASHINGTON In bis informative report on disarmament this week Secretary Dulles was addressing two different audiences for different purposes. He whs seeking to convey to the American people an assurance that the administration was not going too far too fast in the uncharted field of arms reduction and com rol. He was seeking to convey to the Soviet leaders a Galvanising sense of urgency to make a solid beginning soon in their self-interest and ours to put some brake on the nuclear arms race. What is the special sense of urgency which Mr. Dulles is invoking? Is it just neizoti.itmg rhetoric when the American Secretary of State says that unless an aeree-nieiit is quickly forthcoming "the problem mav soon become totally unmanageable." ttHKN A DIPLOMAT says that the problem niiry soon become totally unmanageable." he means "now or never." Mr.

Dulles is contending that if Moscow and Washington fail to becin nuclear arms control now, the opportunity to do so may well slip from our grasp entirely. Why? Supei filially, at least, you could make the opposite ease. These disarmament talks have been going on for 11 years and we are much nearer agreement than we were at tlie becinning. Tlie prospects for some disarmament have improved with time. Hut new factors are now present which give weight to the "now or never" argument.

is undoubtedly true that the Soviet Union bad to very nearly catch up with the West on nuclear weapons bclore any arms control was possible. Hut now that there is something like an atomic equilibrium, we will, if ue on and on building up and up. find it increasingly difficult to call a halt; perhaps impossible. in nr.

Therefore there can be arms reduction only where it can be made visible and enforceable.

This rare community of interest between and Washington was recognized by Secretary of Stale Dulles in his broadcast this week, reporting to the nation on disarmament. well knows that Russia v.iil take not" of his warning that time is "not unlimited" in the current disarmament talks and his appeal for concessions before nuclear weapons become available to "the pettiest and most irresponsible dictator." In the cold war between the two world titans, each seeking supremacy in atomic armament, the peoples of both the United States and Russia have been slow to recognize that unless controls are established they may lose the monopoly they now hold (along with Great Britain) on atomic weapons. Continued production and development of nuclear weapons increase the danger that they may come into of many nations, large and small.
