If you have been worried a-
bout lung cancer or the explo-
sion of nuclear warfare, here
ii an encouraging little item
qut Of Washington.
The United States stands in
greater danger from the ‘Tot-
ting of the U. S. dollar" — the
inflation which is present here
and now — than from any
such catastrophes as lung can-
cer or a push-button war.
This is the analysis of Lyle C.
Wilson, vice president of United
Press International and an un-
usually competent observer of
the Washington scene.
"You have inflation now,"
says Wilson. "You may escape
canoec or war.”
It was pointed out that
the value of the dollar ha*
shrunk from an arbitrary
measurement of 100 cents
In 193# to a mathematically
demonstrable 46 cents and
a‘fraction today. That la a
loss of nearly 54 centa In
leaa than 22 years. If the
shrinkage keeps up at the
same rate. In another 20
yeara the dollar will be
worth leaa than nothing at
all.
“This 46 cents,” says Wilson,
"is about what the dollar is
worth now in terms of bacon,
beans and baby shoes."
Deterioration of the dollar,
he pojnts out. has been pushed
right along by federal budget
deficits run up by every Presi-
dent since Calvin Collidge.
What is worse and more of it.
he says, there is a strong pos-
sibility, even a likelihood, lhat
President Kennedy's adminis-
tration. will show deficits dur-
ing each of the next four years.
“If these deficits continue,”
Wilson warns, "the dollar can
be expected to rot gradually
away. Two-bit dollar, here we
come.”
Twenty-two years ago. If
anyone had told you that
the good old solid U. S.
dollar you held in your
flat would be worth ony 46
cents and a fraction today,
you would have sworn lhat
Insanity was abroad In the
land. Remember, this was
In the bright days just before
the explosion of World War
II, the days when the coun-
try was making Ha first full
recovery from the Great
Depression t
But inflation keeps whittling
away, a little here, a little
there. Commodities and ser-
vices keep going up, a little
here, a little there. Nothing
goes down, or if it does it is so
atflnitesimal and so rare that
it has no effect whatever on the
over-all picture. You feel it in
your pay check, if you work
gar wages. You see it on your
Statement of operating expenses
U you are in business for your-
self, or on ynur profit and loss
statement. And when you see
ft, tike as not, yoa also see that
sou are going to have to go up
On your prices.
It Seems hard to say, now,
lust when inflation got started.
It was back somewlter* around
the beginning of World War II,
when everything was booming,
everybody was making plenty
•f money, nobody paid too much
attention.
But after the war was
ever, after Brings suppose-
dly were settMag hack te
normal, there was no end
te Inflation — not even tem-
porally. The whittling went
aa and an, at a marry clip,
and the Wet ft took eat
af the dollar got hungrier
all the time.
We wish the euriook could
he more encouraging, hut
where ft la going to end no-
body really knows. Lyle
Wilson doesn't know, and
we don’t know— and, aa
tar aa we can see new,
President Kennedy and his

omics advisors don't know
either.

Dallas Crowd Jeers,
Cheers Speakers On

DALLAS (UPI) — A crowd of about 1,500 at a "National
Indignation Convention” cheered Sen. John Tower, R-Tex., Wed-
nesday night when he said he supported their protest of Com-
munist pilots training in Texas.
And they “booed” Rep. Jim Wright, D-Tex., because he
declined to give them a “yes or no" answer.

Again Up
For Trial
ORLANDO, Fla. (UPI) -
Teamster President James R
Hoffa will be arraigned for the
second time in 10 months today
on mail fraud charges stem-
ming from alleged misuse of
$500,000 in Teamster funds.
Hoffa and Detroit banker Rob-
ert E. McCarthy, Jr., a co-de-
fendant, were scheduled to en-
ter pleas before U. S. District
Court Judge Dozier Devane,
who ac cepted their pleas of in-
nocent to the same charges here
last Dec. 16.
If convicted, they could re-
ceive up to 20 years in prison
and be fined up to $85,000 each.
They were first indicted Dec.
7, but that ease was dismissed
July 13 by U. S. District Court
Judge Joseph Lieb. He ruled
that tiie grand jury that indicted
them had been improperly se-
lected.
But a second grand jury, em-
D-Tex., said he has been op-
posed to foreign aid to Com-
munist - dominated countries
and supports cutting off aid to
Yugoslavia. But he said he
was hesitant to condemn offi-
cials of the State Department
because the judgment of too
many persons was involved.
It brought cries of “cut him
off” and “check his record”
from the audience.
The meeting was the fifth of
a series of nightly gatherings
of the newly organized group
which protests Yugoslavia pi-
lots being trained near Sher-
man, Tex., at Perrin Air Force
Base.
They have a telephone hook-
ed up to loud speakers in the
assembly hall so that the
crowd can hear the conversa-
tion.
“The trafficking with an
enemy at a time when U. S.
survival is in question is
wrong." Tower said. "It is my
hope the administration will
cease giving aid to Yugosla-
via immediately.”
He called the Dallas gather-
ing “healthy and wholesome.”
The group tried to contact
Tower by telephone at his
home in Wichita Falls the
night before and failed to get
. . an answer. It made Frank Mc-

Army Brain Comes A
$7.4 Million Cropper
WASHINGTON (UPI) - The
Army has admitted that one of
its electric brains, in a flash of
human fallibility ordered $7.4
million worth of unneeded equip-
ment fur the U. S. forces in Eur-
ope.
Before Ihe Army discovered
the mistake and canceled t h e
orders, a few thousand dollarsj
worth of equipment had already
left the United States for Eur-i
ope.
The General Accounting Of-1
fice (GAO), Congress' watchdog
over government sending, dis-
closed the error.
The Army said it was caused
by faulty wiring of the that bine

But the GOA said that if the
Army had checked the figures,
the mistake would have lieen
caught much more quickly.

LATE OFF THE WIRE
By JAMES C. ANDERSON
United Press International
SACRAMENTO. — Richard M.
Nixon is back in politics trailed
by the shadow of a long-dead
general and some very much
alive Republicans and Demo-
crats.
The 48-year-old Republican,
who lost the presidency last
November by a handful of votes,
is a candidate for governor of
his home state of California, a
state which by mid-summer of
1963 will be the most populous
In the nation.
From the very start, Nixon
has insisted he should be count-
ed out of the presidential race
in 1964 if he is elected governor
In hi* first new* conference af-
ter his gubernatorial announce-
ment, reporters pinned him
down on his statement that "I
shall not be a candidate for
president in 1964."
"Would you amplify that to
nominee in 1964, because there
are many candidates and only
one nominee?”
"Well, I will not be the cand-
idate or the nominee,” was Nix-
on's reuly. "That is correct.
You can't be nominated with-
out lieing a candidate."
Despite the seeming finality
of that statement, many Demo-
crats and some high-ranking
Republicans say it falls short
of the classic statement of Gen.
William Ttvumseh Sherman
back in 1884 that "If nominated,
1 will not accept and will not
serve if elected.”
Even the national chairman
of Nixon's own party. Hep.
William E. Miller, said he feels
same phrase he used so effec-
tively in beating Sen. William
F. Knowland for the governor-
ship in 1958.
“Nixon wants to use the state-
house as a stepping stone to
the White House," Brown in-
sists. There is no question that
Nixon will succumb to a Re-
publican draft for president in
1964.. And I think he will go
further and generate a draft ot
his own.”
Nixon faces a number of ot-
her obstacles next year in his
climb buck up the political lad-
der, not the least of which is
strong opposition from within

ate seat.
Knight served notice that he
intends to wage an all-out cam-
paign against Nixon when he
charged earlier this month that
Nixon sent an emissary to
Knight offering him "any job
you want" if Knight would get
out of the race.
The alleged emissary. Los
Angeles financier J. Howard
Edgeton, and Nixon both de-
nied tlie charge and Nixon's
former campaign manager, Ro-

the statement that Kniglu him-
