SOKOLSKT You must have been surprised, as I was, thai some department stores came out for OPA. By all the logic of the situation, one would expect these purveyors of goods to be antagonistic to an agency that has forced them to merchandise ware of depreciated values for higher prices.

So I took a look. I got the reports of tha Neiman-Marcus company of Dallas, Texas, one of the highest priced department stores of the country, and the W. T. Grant company, which operates a number of low-priced department stores. Neiman-Marcus favors OPA; W.

T. Grant has testified in opposition to it. Neiman-Marcus sells principally to t'na luxury trade; Grant to the worker, housewife, and proletariat. So these are the figures: Nelman-Marcm W. T.

The youngsters who are getting out of high school face a problem; their older brothers and sisters who are getting degrees in higher education, as well face problems. And still on a higher plane the so-called savants themselves the men and women who are making the commencement addresses and attempting to give the graduating students one last and lasting word of advice are facing problems. It is getting to the point where they are frankly at a loss to know what to tell the young people. Are they to tell the young people that because of the failure of American education they are going out In the world ill equipped to meet and the economic morass ahead.

Inflation holds no terrors for the money-mrtd. i NATIONAL ISSUES: A review of education standards is foreseen. Many professional educators hold that some colleges have let the bars down in order to accommodate war veterans. INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS: Further efforts to broaden the good neighbor policy in the hope of drawing Argentina into the American family of the nations are foreseen. Persons whose birthday this is are promised by the stars: A year of Intellectual and spiritual growth climaxed by a wholly unexpected reward for their good Children born today will be quick thinkers and able debaters.

Those who apply themselves will not lack opportunity to take their places among the world's great men and women of their time. Our Children By ANGELA PATRI Mothers are best judged by their offsprings' cry, "Everybody else is doing it, why can't "Because you can't. Because it is wrong. Because I won't let you." That relieves mother's mind a bit but it does not stay the child's protest. Children want to be like all other children.

They hate to be different. They hate being picked out of the crowd whether it Is a matter of funny hats or grave moralities. Some day, when the children are no longer children, it will be necessary for them to take a stand for and against a question of right and wrong. In that day they will have to stand alone or go with the crowd and their decision will mean their weal or their woe. It is our difficult duty to teach Ihem so that they shall have had experience in standing alone for what they believe to be right.

That means years of effort, years of honest and steadfast approach to life on our side as well as a constant effort to teach the children. To this end the story of Daniel, as It is written in the Bible, Is one that all children should know and refer to often. The story should be told to them often and with dramatic accent so that from childhood on they have a standard of behavior. As they grow John E. Erickson John Erickson lived a long, useful and active life.

Ha was a friendly, kindly man, a hard worker and he gained the confidence, trust and respect of people in all walks of life. The Associated Press story of his life says that "he is believed to have held more major political positions in Montana than any other man." But these honors did not. just come to him. He worked for them and worked hard. The qualities of his character his good judgment, his friendliness, his dependability helped him to achieve honors.

But in turn he himself had developed these qualities. They did not just come to him. John Erickson's entire life was one of struggle, the kind of uneven contest which defeats many less strong-willed individuals. He was reared in Kansas during a pioneer era when that state suffered from the backwash of the strife of the Civil war. He received a bachelor of arts degree from a Kansas college at a time when higher education, by comparison with 1 conditions today, was extremely diffi-cut to obtain.

John Erickson came to Montana in 1892 to commence another pioneer struggle which reached a climax 33 years later when he was elected governor of the state. Attesting to his efficient conduct of the affairs of the state, he was elected to the office of governor three times In succession, becoming the only man ever to have achieved this distinction. And then he rounded out his political career in Montana by serving a short term as United States senator. Montana owes a debt of gratitude to John E. Erickson.

During a long life he served his state and nation honorably and well. No matter what the task farm work, lawyer, county attorney, judge, governor, U. S. senatorhe worked hard and earnestly nd honestly. a By Westbrook Pegler solve its complex problems? Most likely this is what some of the young graduates will be told.

Are they to tell the young people that the world is their apple and all they have to do Is to go out and pick' it? Some of the commencement speakers undoubtedly will pursue this line of reasoning. Strange to say, both will be right. There is no formula for living. Some people make a well-rounded life by pursuing one course; others make a well-rounded life by pursuing almost exactly the opposite course. Let us hope that.

the great majority of the messages delivered before young graduating classes will be messages of hope and good cheer. The world, and especially the younger people, need to hear such words more than any other group. And it is still possible for the speakers to deliver such messages without compromising with their conscience. One of the lessons of history is that the human race, human civilization, has advanced by a series of fits and starts. It goes ahead a little and then falls back.

It goes ahead again and again slips back. But each time that civilization goes ahead it gains a little. There are some very definite rules for good conduct. They have not contract because that "would be Hitler's The day after Pearl Harbor, by a crooked device, he gave Lewis his clgsed shop, adopting "Hitler way." Frances Perkins, as secretary of admitted that the closed shop was a denial of an inalienable human right but the government has forced thousands of employers to sign closed shop contracts and The Wagner act permits unions to extort political slush funds from workers In complete frustration of their political freedom. Employers have to abide by their contracts.

Unions don't and millions of workers have had to strike and go without pay because the union bosses called them out. Some unions collect income" taxes as hleh as 10 dpt cent of I worked these figures out from their reports and maybe my arithmetic is not as perfect as Einstein's, but the fact is that the high-price luxury outfit cleaned up on the OPA and favors it, while the low-price outfit got struck down by OPA and opposes it. A Marxian might call this economic motivation, but in simple English what it means is that Neiman-Marcus know where their bread is buttered while Grant is without any butter. The answer to Grant's difficulty is that low-priced goods have disappeared from the market. Sure, the OPA statistics quote ceiling prices, but you go out and get the goods at that ceiling price.

As long as I am quoting Grant figures, let me use some data offered by Mrs. Robert Seidel of that company: Our stock of men's shirts in 500 stores as of Jan. 1, and this includes all types of shirts, amounted to $22,000. It would normally approximate $600,000. Our sales of shirts during last fall were not over 25 per cent of any prewar year and the sales were very much lower than they were during any prior wartime year.

Sales of drapery materials decline 80 per cent but sales of ready-made draperies increased 170 per cent. Sales of dresses for one to six-year-old children decreased 50 per cent and for schoolgirls from seven to 16, dress sales declined 72 per cent. During the same period, total overall retail sales and profits reached a new -high, primarily because of extremely heavy sales of high-priced novelties and gifts and less essential tspparel. Novelty Jewelry increased 90 per cent, luggage 92 per cent, handbags 60 per cent, fountain pens several hundred per cent, novelty apron 67 per cent, women's coats 47 per cent, small leather goods 60 per cent, gloves 50 per cent, art goods 65 per cent, novelties in the millinery line 170 per cent." In other words, essential, reasonably priced goods were unavailable; luxury goods were plentiful and sold high. Or take the story of men's shirts: "In March, 1942, a white shirt of combed, mercerized broadcloth with a thread count of 144x76 per inch cost $12.80 per dozen." The lowest cost price that we have been able to find recently was a shipment made in November, 1945, at $21.00 per dozen.

The cloth In this shipment was identical to that used in shirts in 1942, but in many respects the November, 1945, shirt does not measure up to the February, 1942, shirt. First, the tall Is shorter and the yardage per- dozen Is approximately one and one-half yards less. Second, the collar is Inferior. It is made with poorer lining materials that are not uniform (manufacturers are compelled to use practically anything they can find for collar linings) and the collars are soft, whereas in 1942 they were fused. The buttons are plastic and they formerly were ocean pearl "Actual increase in prioe 64 per eent.

Estimated deterioration In quality 18 per cent." Apply this test yourself. You do not need to bother about Chester Bowles or Leon Henderson or me or anyone else. Become an expert yourself! Take 10 essential commodities and check by the above process that is availability, quality, price and see what OPA has done. millions of American workers to Fair Enough The only serious error on Tom Dewey's record occurred in a speech in Portland, in the 1944 campaign when he endorsed the Wagner labor relations law without reservation. He did this as a bid for the support of the union movement and I thought he was dishonest because as a lawyer and a public official of long experience, Including encounters with some of the worst rogues In unionism, he knew that this was a bad law.

He couldn't win over the C. I. O. or the American Federation of Labor, so his sacrifice of dignity and self-respect got him nothing and cost him the confidence of some adherents who would have preferred that he dare to be right. However, Roosevelt, in his first campaign, promised economy and abused the Republicans and especially Herbert Hoover for extravagance and so Jfhe worker's gross wages.

Same join unions under those contracts. The eastern Communists and older, other stories of heroic stands should be told them so that they have a store of them and heroic conduct Is familiar to them at least in words. The word must always come first. It helps children if someone points out to them a heroic stand taken by somebody during the day. There are such stories in the mic employers pay a percentage of the gross payroll in the guise of a welfare and vacation fund.

The workers never get more than aquarter of their respective "vacation" contributions and thjr union bosses decide what "welfare" Is. Sometimes It is the welfare of their own racial, religious and national countrymen in Europe and the Amerl-icari worker must feed and clothe them failing which he can't work newspapers frequently. It Is a Mr. Dewey now might plausibly lto feed and clothe his own fam Eleanor Roosevelt's Fascist friends have been campaigning against Sen. Bilbo of Mississsippi because Mississippi is a poll-tax But Bilbo is a Roosevelt senator and moreover he has never been responsible for any damage to the national welfare comparable to the sabotage, rioting, vandalism, political corruption, hatred, and disruption of industry that Robert Wagner of New York set off with his vicious law.

Workers have absolutely no guaranteed rights in unions. Wagner makes them Join but doesn't provide that they shall be allowed to vote in union elections, provides no control over their money, and throws them on tlw mercy of ignorant brutes or cunning manipulators in kangaroo courts who can fine them without limit, shake them down for personal graft and expel them for life even for the most trivial and malicious reasons. An employer cant fire a man for impudence but a union can blackball him forever and starve his family for talking back to some overbearing steward or local union official. Wagner knows all this and I would horsewhip him through the street with facts that he couldn't deny. good to read them to the children, or have them read for themselves so that fine conduct may take on an everyday tone.

If you think it Is a far cry from Daniel in the lion's den to a girl who wants to dress like a sophisticated woman of 40, you are wrong. Daniel facing the hungry lions felt no worse than the girl who must face her painted and plastered and curled classmates in the costume and attitude of a child. It takes great courage to face such a situation and the child who can do it and win, force the lions to lie down to sleep at his feet, is truly a Daniel. And one day, by and by, he will have the same courage to make a master decision and win that, too. But he needs to be shown, and to have some practice and ily-Then I would carefully call the rolls of the crooks In the A.

I think a good Republican presidential nominee In 1948 could win with such a campaign, with due regard, of course, for foreign policy and national defense.

But I would rather go down beaten worse than Alf Landon in 1936 than stullfy myself and betray those who had faith In me by pretending to regard the Wagner act as good law. 41 I 4 ii 1 1 4 'i if News Behind the News Ten, Twenty, Thirty May 1938 K. L. Curtis, regional Boy Scout executive from Portland, visited Butte and de-clared that Camp Lowlands, owned and operated by the Silver Bow council, Is one of the largest and best equipped in the Northwest region. James Weitz of Butte has been cast In the role of Dr.

The committee in charge of arrangements for the reception honoring Mrs. Winnifred By Paul Mallon ing the "Germans would be only too glad to contribute anything against Russia in any eventuality But what do we do? Lately we have publicized greatly the presence of this army in the British zone and Mr. Byrnes took public steps at Paris to investigate German disarmament with this in view. It is an old story.

Six months ago the Russians were needing tnk British with it. The British madVemlanatlons, which say that further experience under the Wagner act had brought imperfections to light which must be corrected in the interest of "labor" itself and the creation of a sound prosperity. But, that wouldn't be my way. My way would have been to damn the Wagner act in 1944, realizing, if I had been Dewey, that the odds were against me, anyway, and trusting that the events of the next four years would uphold my condemnation as, in fact, they have in less than two years since he declared himself in Portland. In his present circumstances he may gracefully ignore the subject because In his next campaign he will be running for re-election as governor of New York and may confine himself to state questions, ignoring national problems, Internal and external, as did In 1942, when he was elected governor.

But, again, that wouldn't be my way. I would come out fighting in this gubernatorial campaign and dramatize the crimes of unionism under the Wagner act and promise not to quit throwing fact and naming names until it had been stripped down to its original stated purpose to permit workers to organize and deal collectively with employers but not compel them to. My line would be. about like this: The professed purpose of the Wagner act Is to let- workers bargain with their employers through agents of their own choice. It defeats this purpose by forcing millions of them to accept bargaining agents chosen by the Labor Relations board, and Roosevelt and Wagner so intended all the time.

Henry Kaiser signed a blanket contract with the Boilermakers' union when he had only a nuclear crew, which was binding on a multitude who came along as his shipyards expanded. Every man and woman of them had to buy life insurance and pay a royalty to the son of the union's president and the Wagner act was responsible for this extortion. I would rub Mr. Truman's nose In this because the home of this racket is in Kansas City, Kan. The Wagner act forbids an" American who happens to be an employer or a plant executive to express to an employe this difinite knowledge, that the union president is a Communist or underworld racketeer and the union, Itself, Just a racket.

It "compels him to negotiate and sign contracts with Communists and gangsters. were consideredladequate at the changed since Moses handed them down from Mount Sinai. And these rules are as changeless as any of the most precise axioms of mathematics. The world's spectacular advances in science has not changed in the slightest these basic rules. Science has raised the life, expectancy of the average individual more than 25 years within the life span of many of us.

But this does not preclude the possibility that many of Us. will throw that life away unnecessarily. At the same time science has increased the life expectancy it also has Increased the means by which we can throw our lives away. From our highest office, that of President of the United States, has come this observation: "The world either is headed for destruction or the greatest age of progress in history." In other words it's up to us, each of us Individually. And the young graduates who are starting out In the world should be made to feel that it is their responsibility, too.

If the youngsters step out into the world with a message of hope and cheer ringing in their ears, and if at sometime during their school days they have been impressed with a feeling of responsibility, then the rest of us need have no great fear for the future. They will write for world a new definition of destiny. Decimal Points We see where one of the government bureaus has made another one of those million-dollar mistakes. However, this time it was for $555,555.55. An 18-year-old Navy fireman, who was expecting a tax refund of $35.50, got, instead, a check for this amount.

The Secret Service nailed him before he got any New Deal ideas. This will make a lot of people look a second time at their government checks. It seems that those government check-writing machines have got into the habit of writing things in billions. They are indifferent about the decimal point, or else they are worn from over work and need a replacement or an overhaul. It won't do much good to put the machine in jail.

It's different, however, with a fountain pen. Misplace a decimal point with a fountain pen and the doors of the clink automatically swing open. time. On Pulling Other Peoples' Chestnuts Out of the Fire We believe that In the future when Uncle Sam goes out to pull other people'! chestnuts out of the fire he hould make agreements in advance about who to get the chestnuts. It is pretty obvious that the chestnut we pulled out of the fire both in World Wars I and II are going to be consumed elsewhere.

We the people can have the privilege of merely standing by and watching them being consumed, although we not only pulled them out of the fire but laid down the cash to pay for them. The fire was mighty hot, too, in some cases where we went In to rescue the chestnuts. It was blazing furiously when our lads went ashore on the coast of Nor-. mandy to pull France's chestnuts out of the fire. But now we are confronted with the proposition that unless we lend France a great sum of money it will go Communist.

The furnace was blazing at white heat when the first Flying Forts went out unescorted to prove to the British that pur Yank lads had the instrument 'which would greatly contribute to the winning of the war. But now the British say that unless we lend them some money they'll make a closed corporation out of the United Kingdom and we can't sell them a eingle item. Qur boys went through a lot of hot spots in the South Pacific when New Zealand and Australia were on the verge of being Invaded by the Japs, but now we are having extreme difficulty in acquiring even the privilege of landing airplanes on some of the airstrips we built down there with toil and tears and blood. To a lot of do-gooders and players of give-away, all this will seem terribly avaricious, greedy and unkind. But it should be apparent even to these people that we can't play the game for fun when everyone else in the world is playing for keeps.

The next time-and it appears as though there is going to be a next time we should be able to' say that w'll come In and pull your chestnuts out of the fire, only we'd like to have ome agreement beforehand, otherwise we'll Just Jet the chestnuts burn to a cinder. We were in a position to say this the last time, only we were overanxious, it seems, in the light of hindsight. Rh.vIa mart tpxtr Mn. whn t.h To bring It up Vow is for us WASHINGTON. Competent authorities here are urging Mr.

Byrnes to tell the people frankly more of the troubles he has encountered in dealing unsuccessfully with Russia; and frankly projecte a foreign policy adequate to the facts of international existence. He could only gain popular support. But a fear has long existed on high here against full disclosure of difficulties in dealing with the Russians, or a full-facing of the diplomatic situations they have, created. It started at Yalta, where, (I have been recently Informed by a close friend of the late President, Mr. Roosevelt first discovered in negotiations with Stalin the very doubtful prospects of the peace.

Mr. Roosevelt's friends tell me they think this discovery contributed as much as any other cause to his death. His disillusionment from realization that his hopes for peaceful collaboration would, be blocked, was extreme, they say. Yet there was never a crack in the propaganda for appeasement or sweet understanding-, although ardor for it cooled considerably on the inside. As far as the people were concerned, their opinion that Russia would make a co-operative neighbor was never officially challenged.

Actually we had no ground for, believing things would be any different-than they have been. Stalin never left Russia to meet Roosevelt, or anyone, but declined to join the Casablanca conference, saying he was busy fighting the war. He has never left Russia to this day, but has followed courses which have delayed and obstructed realization of the Roosevelt aims. Why do the Roosevelt people still have a mote in their eye tion that world unity was possible, and our officialdom refused to recognize developing facts to the contrary, fear that people would not think the war justified if they 'abandoned their fictitious hope. This was beyond all reason for many reasons.

We were attacked. That attack forced us Into war. If we had not been, we could not have remained out of such a threat to conquer our world. Our war effort was In every way necessary, but the propaganda was wrong. We fought the war for the wrong reasons, as far as the public was concerned, although really for undeniable necessity.

But even if all this was not true, events.have made It plain that the Russians are responsible for the unsatisfactory condition of the peace, not our leaders. This fear of facing reality then, Is only a political superstition, inherited from the Roosevelt administration. A recognition of the right reasons, and the plain facts of interational matters we see developing today, would bring the people to the ardent support of the administration. They have no place else to go. But the superstition hangs on the Russians figured this out early and have used it since.

It gives them immunity. But how long Lord, how long? The game is requiring increasing stretches of imagination. At first we had to imagine Communism was somehow different from Russia. Some of us imagined Stalin was a Roosevelt Democrat, or could be made one, or brought in that direction. Russia has dissipated those fancies, when brought to line by our diplomacy, but only then.

We cannot much stretch our simpl reasoning to imagine she wants a collaborative peace. The British are so much wiser at these things than we.

Beell admitted after the match to being over 40 yean of age. to undertake to needle the British for the Russians. We are just too sweet and innocent about such matters. The British have faced and survived the devious methods of European politics, in which we are Inexperienced. The British some weeks back, recognized what they saw when Russia started the move to oust Franco, first bringing French troops up to close the frontier, then forcing the non-existant Franco "threat to the peace" into UNO, Russian concentration of troops south of the Danube, the Tommies starting to collect money here to finance a revolution in Spain the British saw these signs aimed at their Gibraltar, and have acted accordingly.

We thought and a few of us still think, Russia is interested in "liberating" the people of Spain, a nation of no international consequence (like Does this mean war? Only Russia can make a war. What we must make is a foreign policy. We are desperately In need of one adequate to the conditions we see in the world. It cannot be by evolution! The Russians will evolve one for us, if we let them take long enough. They are forcing and crowding us gradually into evolution now5.

But we need affirmatively to take hold In our own Interests, so we can get off the defensive, and to do this we must accept the truth as it Is becoming plainly evident, and act accordingly, even if we do not care to speak too frankly.
