Reporis New High in Worrying:
Whether Prosperity Will Last
BY PETER EDSON
NEA Washington Correspondent
WASHINGTON.— (NEA) —A month’s rambling
avound the farm belt, from Ohio to lowa and back
again by different routes, leaves a variety of con
flicting impressions.
Business is booming. Everybody reports, admits
and seems to be making more money than he ever
did before. That is true even for the farmers, in
spite of slight drops in farm prices from record
peaks,
Yet there is more crabbing, by businessmen and
farmers, Maybe the crabbing is a healthful thing.
It prevents a runaway boom psychology from tak
ing hold. To be critical is to be cautious. The Korean
war is too young for anyone to predict its effect on
business.
The crabbing and the criticism in general take
the form of wondering whether this current pros
pexity is real, whether it will last, or whether it is
headed for another inflationary bust.
There is plenty of carping at the Truman pro
gram, at high taxes, at government spending, at
bureaucracy, at inefficiency and waste, But all this
is probably ne more violent nor more virulent than
it was in 1936, or 1940, or 1944, or 1948.
There is scoffing at union labor for wanting “se
curity.” Yet what businessmen seem to fear most is
that their present prosperity and security won't
last, and aren't real,
it is far too early so try making any guesses at
the outcome of this November’s Congressional elec~
tions, The campaiga probably won't really get hot
until after Labor Day, when Congress has adjourn
ed and its record is nailed on the wall to shoot at or
defend.
FEW POLITICAL PROPHETS
Remrembering the terrible upset in the 1948 elec
tions, few editors want to go on the record with
political predictions. A consensus would probably
show that Taft, Capehart and Hickenlooper are
given the edge for re-election. The Illinois race be
tween Lucas and Dirksen is conceded as close.
But there are no great new trends of political
sentiment, Some individuals—some newspaper edi
tors and some partisan political leaders—do believe
that there is a big shift of opinion since 1948. But
you can walk around the block to the opposition
newspaper, or to the opposition political headquar
ters in another hotel, and you can hear just the op
posite, One offsets the other, inconclusively,
Even such political opposites as Republican Sen
ator William E. Jenner of Indiana, encountered in
Indianapolis; and Governor Adlai E. Stevenson in
Springfield, 111,, say they see no new trends.
A rather vigorous political action campaign by
the Indiana Manufacturers’ Association and the
Indiana Chamber of Commerce is not general
throughout the Hoosier State and has not spread to
other farm belt states.
Political independents criticize the Republicans
for their lack of a program and admit the popu
larity with the mass of voters on many of the pronr
ises of the welfare or handout state.
There is widespread feeling that “there must be
something wrong in the State Department.” This
quotation is frequently followed by the statement,
“Where there’s so much smoke, there must be fire.”
There was no great wave of enthusiasm, however,
for Wisconsin Senator Joe McCarthy’s crusade. Now,
of course, the Korean war has swept McCarthy
right out of the news.
HUGE DEFENSE BUDGET POPULAR
The Marshall Plan and the foreign military as
sistance programs are not great issues in this east
ern farm belt. While much criticism of government
spending and deficit financing in periods of pros
perity was encountered, nobody advocated cutting
down on the $13,000,000,000 national defense spend
ing, which is a third of the budget. That was B. K.
-—Before Korea. Now, of course, everyone agrees
there is need of more defense,
The Brannan plan is not understood. The heads of
the farm organizations and Department of Agricul
ture experts understand it and argue about it learn
e¢dly. But the average farmer is for or against it on
prejudice or principle, or else he admits frankly
that he doesn’t know,
Employers encountered made much of the fact
that the Taft-Hartley act was a dead issue, and that
the rank and file of organized laber didn’t really
object to it. This held good until various employers
in the middle of current labor mnegotiations were
met up with. They all reported that union negotia
tors were very consciously making an issue of their
opposition to the Taft-Hartley act.
CIO Political Action Conmittee and AFL Labor
League for Political Education leaders admitted in
ditferent, or at best, spotty success. But where these
programs are most active, there the Republican
erganizations were found to be most alert and most
“interested in getting out the vote come November.
We Can't Stop Russians
With Half-Hearted Effort
The government has wisely declared there will be
no slackening of aid to western Europe as result of
U. S. commitments in the Korean war.
Since members of Congress recently dropped
hints that since we must now spend more in the Far
East, we perhaps can spend less in Europe.
That’s something like removing fire-fighting
equipment from the western half of a city because
the last couple of fires happened to occur in the
eastern half.
The free world’s defenses against Russian com
munism must be world wide, Any appreciable re
duction in strength anywhere would plainly em=
bolden the Soviet Union or its satellites to probe the
soft spots as was done in South Korea.
Naturally some of those who advocate cutting
down on aid to Europe are isolationists who seize
upon any excuse to justify “economy” on that con
tinent. But others are honestly concerned that it
may be Russian purpose to. spread us thin on a
multitude of fronts, to bleed us white so we may be
too weak ultimately to resist.
The danger here is real, Yet we have no alter
native but to take the risk. Anything less than
fully effective aid to the free world’s troubled spots
is probably worse than no aid at all; it would give
an illusion of strength that doesn’t exist.
There is evidence that even before the Korean
war we were not committing ourselves heavily
enough to the military defense of Europe, that the
sums already voted by Congress or pending there
are not much more than tokens of our intent.
As for the Far East, the Korean war itself is
proof that our efforts to hold an Asiatic line against
advancing communism were woefully short of the
effective minimum.
The blunt truth is that the job is one of tremen
dous proportions, We are slow to get it through our
heads that Russia is a far greater menace to us than
was Hitler's Germany at the full tide of its power.
Up to now we have deluded ourselves that this
combat with the Russians could be conducted con
veniently and comfortably, at no large sacrifice in
our relatively luxurious postwar pattern of living.
Possibly, however, the loss of American lives in
Korea will serve as a sharp and necessary correc
tive to our self-indulgence.
John Foster Dulles said the other day that we
must now be prepared for greater sacrifices. Having
seen Russian intentions nakedly exposed in Korea,
we should all recognize the magnitude of our task.
To do it right means to spend billions more on all
fronts. Almost inevitably that will mean higher
taxes, and perhaps fewer civilian goods available
for our pleasure. If we are unwilling to face this
prospect, then we are not truly ready to meet the
Soviet Union’s challenge.
No tyrant that ever stalked the earth could match
Russia as a peril to freedom. Half-hearted measures
are not the weapons to destroy such peril
.
Talking Out of Turn
Senator McCarthy of Wisconsin is not a man to
vield the front pages easily. It will take more than
a war in Korea to induce him to abandon the
course he set out upon last February.
Although he “has updated his charges by tying
them into the Korean affair, he still is accusing the
same people of the same things. And he still has
failed to produce any proof.
No fair individual would proclaim flatly that
there is no reason at all te inquire into the govern
nmrent’s previous course of action in Asia, There may
well be evidence of colossal error, if not outright
subversion,
But when a war is being fought the time for such
investigations is after a decision has been reached.
Unity is the need of this hour, as some of McCar
thy’s GOP colleagues have recognized in announc
ing their intent to look into delays on South Korean
arms shipments ONLY when the fighting is over.
MecCarthy’s methods were reckless from the start.
Both his methods and his purpose seem wholly out
of key with the critical times we have now entered
upon.
War can only be stopped by the establishment of
some form of world government with sufficient

Prevention Stressed In Fight
Against Amebic Dysenfary
By EDWIN P. JORDAN, M. D,
Written for NEA Service
Amebic dysentery is a world
wide problem. This is an unfav
orable reflection on .our use of
modern knowledge since we know
how this disease is spread and how
to prevent it. The parasite re
sponsible for this form of dysen
tery travels from the intestines of
one person to those of another.
Amebic infections are spread by
pollution and are usually taken in
to the body by swallowing in the
drinking water or in the food, and
by flies and direct contact. These
must first have been contaminated
by human waste containing the
parasite.
The nature and severity of
symptoms vary a great deal. The
disease often develops suddenly
with pain and tenderness in the
abdomen. Diarrhea with bloody
stools is common. Those who are
attacked in this way are extremely
ill and prostrated.
Death can come during ' this
stage though most people recover
from their worst symptoms. Even
after tne symptoms have disap
peared, however, they may carry
the parasites in their intestinal
tract or they may develop a
chronic stage of the disease in
which the symptoms are far less
severe, :
Other victims may become in
fected but never develop an acute
illness. Alternating periods of
constipation and diarrhea with
mild symptoms or even none at
all are frequent. Those who do
not have any symptoms but har
bor the parasites are considered
carriers and are, of course, just
as dangerous in spreading the di
sease as those who are acutely ill.
When carriers or those with
mild chronic symptoms handle
food in public eating places or
homes, they are a source of danger
to others. Most city public health
departments, therefore, have
adopted regulations regarding the
heal inspection of food handlers
in restaurants ana hotels with the
aim of eliminating carriers of ame-

New Drugs Used
There are several fairly good
treatments for this diséase. Sev
eral injections of a substance call
ed emetine hydrochloride is a
time-honored method. Recently
there have been favorable reports
concerning aureomycin and some
other new drugs.
Prevention is the most impor
tant line of attack. Since the di-
/-‘
seasq is spread by water, food,
and flies which have come in con=
tact with ameba containing human
waste, every effort must be made
to eat or drink pure food and
water only and to make it impos=
sible for flies to come in contact
with the infected material. This
disease can and should be wiped
out from every civilized society.

FALSE TEETH
That Loosen
Need Not Embarrass
Many wearers of false teeth
have suffered real embarrassment
because their plate dropped, slip
ped or warbled at just the wronc
time. Do not live in fear of this
happening to you. Just sprinkle
little FASTEETH, the alkaline
(non-acid) powder, on your
plates. Holds false teeth more
firmly, so they feel mwore com
fortable. Does not sour. Checks
“plate odor’” (denture breath).
Get FASTEETH at any dryg
store.
