Nixon's Make-Work
A FEW DAYS AGO Casper Weinberger deputy di-
rector of the U S Office of Managenint and Budget,|
which has Nixon's right, ear. announced that the White
House didn't feel “that there is any necessity whatever
for the government to offer to employ everybody who is
unemployed.” Weinberger noted that President Nixon
vetoed such legislation last year
Weinberger's point was that federal hiring of the
jobless “would encourage a lot of totally unnecessary
and useless projects that would be very hard to stop
. . In other words, it would create make-work, like dig-
ging holes and filling them up
No sooner had Weinberger finished his dissertation
than the U.S. Department of Health, Education and Wel-
fare contradicted him.
Undersecretary John G. Veneman, on orders from
the White House, proposed the hiring of 225,000 unem-
ployed for public service jobs at an annual cost of $800
million. Supposedly this would get that many ablebodied
men off welfare rolls, and, for example, out into the
streets collecting garbage, training which would give
them job experience in—garbage collecting. Since gar-
bage collecting Is largely a public function, it would of-
fer little training for future work in industry, which Is
supposed to be the purpose of the make-work program.
Since the federal government would pay the full
cost the first year and the states 25 per cent the second
and 50 per cent the thira year, theoretically the states
would be encouraged to find the 225,000 jobs in private
industry.
What’s more likely to happen, however, is that Con- I
gress will end up footing the entire bill, since few states
could afford to pay for any more employes.
If Nixon wants to reduce the welfare rolls, let him
come up with a plan to cut corporate taxes so that in-
dustry can afford to expand and hire more workers, j
That would benefit the private and public sectors since;
eventually this would mean more taxes from personal
income.

Exercise And Eat
To enjoy fine food is an acquired teste which brings
much appreciation and pleasure in a lifetime. The prob-
lem is, of course, that too much fine food is fattening
for most people.
The long sought answer, then, for those who appre-
ciate excellent cuisine has been to find a way to enjoy
the best and not gain weight. In recent years all sorts of
diet drinks, special diets and appetite killers have be-
come popular, as doctors have proved that obesity was
eTie of the nation’s major health hazards. Many are ef-
tective
Yet the best solution for most people is still what It
was hundreds of years ago—regular, vigorous exercise.
That is not to say that one should not watch calories j
and lower fat Intake To do so is to take advantage wis-
ely of modern medical knowledge Doing this, and exer-
cising regularly, most people can dine royally at
once a day—and be healthy.
GOVERNMENTAL PRICE
AND WAGE FIXING
Cong. John G. Schmitz’s (Calif.)
Weekly News Report
i
As inflation continues through-
out the national economy, with
no end in sight and no counter-
measures apparently working,
an increasing number of people
who ought to know better are
beginning to call for govern-
mental price and wage fixing,
usually known by the milder
mounding term “price and wage
controls.’’ By people who ought
to know better, I mean those
with no personal or ideological
interest in bigger, more social-
istic government.
The trend is reflected to some
extent in my mail; Constituents
write saying, in effect, that if
other anti-inflationary policies
don’t succeed soon, we may
have to resort to “price and
wage controls” as the lesser of
evils. The implication is that
such controls, though a drastic
change in policy, are a sure-
fire means of guaranteeing the
availability of cheaper goods to
consumers.
But in fact they are nothing i
of the sort. In peacetime gov- j
ernmental price and wage fix-
ing never works in a free coun-
try: and even in time of «'l-
out war. when patriotic fervor
does what fear of penalties can-
not do in bringing about com-
pliance, government-fixed pric-
DAILY CROSSWORD
Dating Food
Although the American housewife enjoys the best
grocery shopping in the world in some respects, in at
least two areas the American corner grocery or super-
market is seriously lacking.
Manufacturers of food-stuffs, in most cases, are
not required to date their packages, to enable the buyer
to know when contents are stale. In some areas, even
eggs, butter, bread, milk and other perishables need not
be dated.
In another category-chemical additives—U.S, food
is overloaded. Americans are eating too much artificial
flavor, artificial color, and preservatives rather than
fresh food.
Despite the short routes and quick cures, there is no
easy way to anything that is worthwhile.

es are always accompanied by
severe shortages of the price-
controlled goods. Chonric short-
ages are halln.arks of every
controlled economy.
In his recent book Man Ver-
sus the Welfare State, the noted
economist Henry Hazlitt ex-
plains why this is true:
"Attempts to hold down or
roll back prices, when they do
not merely lead to black mar-
kets and quality deterioration,
must, reduce and disrupt pro-
duction and distort the balance
and structure of production . . .
“When the price of one item,
say some necessity such as
bread or milk, is held below
the price that supply and de-
mand would set in a free mar-
ket. it reduces the comparative
profit margin in making that
product and soon creates a
shortage of that product. This fs
exactly the opposite result from
the one the government price-
fixers had in mind. If, in the
effort to cure this, the govern-
ment tries to hold down the
prices of the labor, raw mater-
ials, and other factors that go
into producing the price-con-
trolled product, the price con-
trol must be extended in ever-
widening circles, until the gov-
ernment finds itself trying to
fix the price of everything.
“As there are probably at
least 10 million separate prices
in the American economy, and
as this implies something on
the order of 50 trillion cross-
relationships among prices, the
government sets itself a fan-
tastically impossible task. But
this does not mean it cannot do
immense harm to the economy
when it nevertheless undertakes
this task.”
Therefore we are not simply
making a choice between big
government and inflation when
we consider adopting govern- j
mental price and wage fixing.!
In that case we are also choos-
ing scarcity over abundance.
Governmental price and wage
fixing can never cure inflation,
because it is aimed only at the
symptoms of the disease, not
at the cause. There are three
good ways to get at the cause:
fl) eliminate the huge annual
Federal deficit, every dollar of
which is 100 per cent inflation-

H He was a Vietnam hawk. In 1966 he told a
college audience he favored the Johnson art-,
jpfflS* ministration’s "unremitting pressure” on Com-
munist forces there. Returning from Victim in
in 1966 he declared: "I feel better about our
prospects following my visit to Vietnam.”
As late as the summer of 1968 he asserted:
"The choice is this: a negotiated settlement
with, or a negotiated settlement without safe-
guards to protect free elections; a negotiated
settlement which forces a coalition govern-
ment on the South Vietnamese, or one that
supports their right to decide that question;
a bombing halt with, or a bombing halt without consideration of
the air protection of our troops against the military risks arising
north of the Demilitarized Zone—the kind of protection, I re-
mind you, that brought relief to our boys at Khe Sanh.”
Incredibly, this man is Maine's Senator Edmund Muskle. the
game Democratic presidential contender who in recent months has:
•Called for slashing the Defense Department budget.
•Opposed funding of the ABM system.
•Urged a complete withdrawal of UB. troops from Vietnam by
the end of 1971.

• NEW BIOGRAPHV—These facte on Muakie’s past are con-
tained in the latest Muskie biography by newsmen Theo Upp-
man Jr. and Donald C. Hansen. It is highly recommended, though
not because It is a hatchet job on the Maine Democrat.
Nearly all early reviewers of the book have called it complete
and reasonably objective. Many feel its tone Is quite favorable
to Muskie.
But at the same time it Is filled with information that makes
Muskie look far less like the Lin coin-style statesman that many
Democrats would have us think he Is.
The book also casts some light on the "Muskie temper." that
the Republican National Committee recently promised to make
an Issue, if he is the Democratic presidential nominee.
"Nobody doubts that Muslde's temper tantrums are genuine.’*
say Lippman and Hansen. He ts- a "potentially explosive man"
with a "waspish temper" often "triggered by the
trivial." Temper
They also quote Muskie's older sister, Irene,
as saying: "1 just don’t know whether he’d bo
able to take all the criticism that a pnwridsnf
gets. He’s so sensitive to criticism "
Many Washington newnsn have, seen the Muskie tamper la
