THOSE PRICE TAGS
Don’t look to your retailer to put into
effect the major price reductions that peo-
ple are always talking about and which
never occur.
Retailers, large and small, chain and
independent, dealing in every kind of com-
modify, have fought one of the most ag-
gressive battles against price inflation.
They are on the tiring line—they get every
consumer complaint and have intimate un-
derstanding oi consumer economic prob-
lems. They have used every weapon in
their arsenal to hold price increases to the
minimum.
but that arsenal is limited. Retailers
must pay the going price for goods at
wholesale. Like all other business, they
must carry heavily increased overhead, in
the form of higher wages, rents, taxes, sup-
plies and everything else. They must earn
some kind oi prolit or go to the wall.
What they have done is to cut their unit
profits to a low figure, and kept down ex-
penses to the limit of their ability. That
has saved American consumers untold mil-
lions of dollars, and will save them mil-
lions more in the future.
Retailers will reduce prices if—and
when—wholesale prices and the unavoid-
able costs of running a store come down.
Competition, which grows stiffer every
day as more and more goods are produced
and the "easy money” dwindles, will take
care of that. The price tags on the goods
you buy are an honest reflection of today’s
conditions. Your retailer is not a magician
—but remember that he is doing a fine job
in providing you with what you want at
the lowest price now possible.
The Press has received a great many
compliments on its edition for the Dia-
mond Jubilee, the largest edition in the 19
years of the Press’ history. The merchants
of the city made it possible by their whole-
hearted cooperation. We did not have the
force to cover the whole field oi advertis-
ers as we would have liked, but certainly
the showing made was something of which
we are justly proud. Building a newspa-
per is a long and arduous task and we are
glad to say our paper is recognized among
the men of the state who know newspapers
as being an established paper.
Many who come to Denison for the
Jubilee will see our town and lake for the
first time. We want to make the very best
impression on them as a people—our na-
tural advantages will take care of them-
selves. Never have we been so cemented
as a people in a common cause as we are
now and we want to keep it that way—
that sells us to visitors more than anything
else. _

Menace to Our Security Seen
In U. S. Army Air Budget Slasl
Hitherto unpublished figures show that an economy-
minded Congress has cut appropriations for the Army Air
Force to the point where it is impossible to continue with
aerial developments urgently necessary for the security of
the United States.
For the first time the exact amounts slashed and the
projects they affect are disclosed in an article in the August
issue of Cosmopolitan magazine by Lt. Col. Ned Root, U. S.
Army Air Corps Reserve.
“Research and development are
referred to at Wright Field (Ohio)
>» Project 611,” the article states
m part. “The development of guid-
id missiles, the designing of su-
personic aircraft, the study of
means to harness atomic energy
to propel aircraft, the tailoring of
personal flying equipment, the
building of heavy bombers of
greater range-all of these things
and dozens more are classified
under this catalog number.
“Chief of the project is Major
General L. C. Craigie, a soldier
with a brilliant war record but a
man who, unfortunately is no
match for the frugal little war-
riors on Capitol HilL Last year,
when expenditures were being fig-
ured out for the fiscal year of
1947, Genera! Craigie estimated
that it would cost $230,000,000 to
keep our own Air Force in the
running with the enterprising air
arms of foreign powers. His re-
quest was cut three different
times. When the government fin-
ished mauling him he got $78,000,-
000—a little more than one-third
of what he asked. Russia, in the
meantime, appropriated well over
$1,000,000,000 for “scientific re-
search” in the same period.”
A breakdown of the slashes in
the Air Force budget shows that
the bomber-research budget was
cut from $20,000,000 to $8,000,000:
the jet program was allocated
only $9,500,000 all of which was
spent last March; fighter plsns
research from $22,000,000 to $5r
000,000; the transport program
sought $1,500,000 and got not a
single cent; the guided missile
program was cut from $64,000,.
000 to $13,000,000; the aero-medl-
cal program got so little that it
was all spent by March; and the
Electrical TestlngUnit from $260,-
000 to $60,000.
'.‘Everything you have heard
about the collapse of our Air
Force is true,” the article declares.
"At a moment when the stomio
age has given us a whole new sit
of equations from which to evolve
a radically different philosophy
of warfare, at a moment when
other nations are spending money
and time with little thought of
economy to keep their fighting
equipment technically abreast of
new strategic concepts, the United
States government has elected to
dose the doors of our research
laboratories and emit”

Have been getting so many in-
vitations to speak and it costs to
jump around over the state and
my work suffers back in the of-
fice, so your columnist has had to
begin to make a moderate charge
(depending on distance) for
speeches. We appreciate what we
have to pay something for, as a
general rule. Speeches made re-
cently or soon to be made include:
National Peanut Council; Nation-
al Editorial Association; “ladies’
night” of numerous civic clubs;
annual dinners of the Chamber of
Commerce at Lampases, Tulia,
Nocona and Schulenburg. Then the
high school commencement ad-
dresses range from Pecos to San Grayson CoU~>ty Wen
Augustine with Bastrop, Midland, Against Ufl't SvsteR' *
Santa Anna and Roscoe between.
But the things we smile at are superficial...the

A visitors in Hannibal, Mo., met
an old-timer and asked him, "Did
you know Mark Twain?” The na-
tive replied, “Yess, I did; and I
know just as many stories as he
did; the only difference is he writ
’em down.”
Fritz Kreisler was going to give
a concert and the newspapers
wrote up the $50,000 Stradivarius
he owned. On the night of the con-
cert, he came out and gave a num-
bei superbly. He bowed again and
again at the applause; then held
up the violin and the audience ap-
plauded the instrument; then he
snapped the violin into a dozen
pieces. It was not the costly
“Strad” but just a violin he had
picked up for $5. It’s not the in-
strument but the artist—brains,
fingers and soul expressing itself
through the instrument — that is
most important.

Dr. Cox pointed out that in our

locked the stable door after the
horse was already stolen; we are
content to wait until all our prem-

before we bring ourselves into ac-

sion.
