Bills providing for the continuation of American economic assistance through a new authorization have now been introduced in both houses and hearings before a joint session of Senate Foreign Relations Committee and House Foreign Affairs Committee have begun. These bills would authorize first an outlay of $1,150,000,000 to meet expenditures during the three-month period from April to June 30, and second, for the fiscal year of 1949-50. menace. This becomes more evi the chance to buy one. Mile-square Angel Island, largest and highest in San Francisco Bay, is up for sale.

The island, which for 60 years served as a "first port of call" for thousands of immigrants entering our country from the Pacific, was declared "surplus" to the needs of the Federal Government in 1946. Placed on the market by the War Assets Admin istration, it has been offered as a $350,000 "bargain" to the State of California, the city of San Fran cisco or any other governmental subdivision which would put the island's 641 acres to "public use." The price, made possible by legislation enacted in the last Congress, is just half the $700,000 value set by Federal appraisers. So far, all of these potential purchasers have played shy, despite spirited urgings by civic organizations and fighting citizens like Vintner John G.

I was told there First Things First In the Forum today, two correspondents point out that mental hospitals are not the State's only problem, that tuberculosis care is woefully inadequate. In making the case for the sanatoria they challenge our position that action on the mental hospitals should proceed without delay, without waiting until other health problems can be fully investigated. With no intention of minimizing any deficiencies there may be in care of the tubercular, we still feel that conditions in the mental hospitals are so demonstrably bad that there is no good reason why the Legislature and the Governor should not move at once to correct them.

Metal and metal products, and fuel and lighting materials "have tlimbed almost steadily in price throughout 1948 and on into 1949 and have not been affected at all by the leveling off of the average index since the middle of 1943," he told the committee. The picture, in other words, is mixed. There are plenty of students of economic trends who would dispute the Keyserling contention that a rounded, comprehensive program is still needed to protect the nation against inflationary forces. It is their position that prices generally are on the downgrade; that shortages are at an end; that with jobs less plentiful, incomes generally are "headed downward and industrial expansion is slowing. They regard deflation, in other words, as a more imminent threat to economic stability.

Where those who espouse the Keyserling view and those who do not can meet on common ground is in agreement that divergent trends are at work. In such a situation dogmatic prophecies of doom on the one hand and of uninterrupted economic bliss on the other are equally out of order.

But Mr. Dewey is the first national leader to describe the obvious and propose that the party do something about it That is the way to vitality, and the Republican party desperately needs renewed vitality. Up to now the party has been following the practices it adopted in the years before 1932 when the GOP was in the majority.
