Big BiUs The Treasury Department reports a drop in the number of $600, $1,000 $5,000 and $10,000 bills in circulation and hopes that this means that black marketing and tax evasion have sun ilarly declined. The premise of the Treasury is that "big money" bills, mostly used for settling balances between banks, have been useful to black marketeers and tax evaders, enabling them to handle large sums without leaving a trace. The number of $10,000 bills has dropped from 3,300 in June to around 2,300, the number of $5,000 from 2,000 to 1,400, $1,000 bills declined from 994,000 to 801,000 and $500 bills from 1,142,000 to 982,000. Even the reduced figures show about a billion and a quarter dollars in circulation, which ought to be enough to finance considerable black marketing and tax evasion. ' J Danger In Your Home We have called attention to the danger that lurks in the average American home, pointing out that the statistics show that about half of the accidental deaths in the nation are due to mishaps within the home. One survey of a large city reveals that more than half of such deaths are caused by falls. Analysis re veals that nearly half of the falls oc curred on the same level, more than one-third on stairs and about one sixth from one level to a lower level. The sety experts suggest that the number of accidents caused by trip ping over objects and rugs on floors is f such size to suggest caution in every home. Moreover, the need for well-lighted stairways is important and everybody should exercise care and patience in using stairs. We call attention to these things in order that residents of Perquimans County may have them in mind. It will take only a few minutes to look over your home and eliminate some of the accident hazards. Parents who do tbla s-ay save their children suffer ing and themselves medical txpenMsv Sw. ' " "'TjkVi&nlatfed battleship Kentucky on which $66,900,000 has been apent, will te 'completed "Just as soon the lessons learned Jit the' atomic test an be applied to her design. Naval experts say that the new dreadnaught will be the world's most powerful ship but admit that she might not carry sixteen-inch guns, which have hitherto been regarded as the most powerful naval offensive weapon. Instead there is speculation that the warship may carry apparatus to discharge guided missiles with a much longer range than the tradi tional big guns. The plan to complete the Kentucky follows the decision of Reconversion Director John W. Snyder not to scrap thirty-seven unfinished naval vessels. Instead, he has decided that it would be economy ta complete eleven ships, to put eighteen in an "as is" reserve and to scrap only eight. The nation has already spent $80, 000,000 on the eleven ships to be completed and it will take $47,000,000 more to finish them. On the eighteen going into the reserve, something like $93,000,000 has been spent and if it is decided, at some later date, to com plete them, the cost will be only $66, 000,000. Of the eight that are to be scrapped, some $24,000,000 has been spent, but it would take around $75, 000,000 to finish their construction. One Problem, One Policy It seems all but official that Gov ernment wage and price policies will j be administered by a single official probably durable and independent Chester Bowles directly responsible to the President It looks like a good i move and perhaps the only practical one to get the country out of some of the three-way deadlocks in labor management disputes. Mr. Truman's original wage-price policy seemed reasonable at the time. We thought so and said so. Price ceil ings generally were to be held. Labor was told to get what wage boosts it could under these ceilings by collec tive bargaining. An escape-hatch for hardship cases caused by higher labor costs was provided, but the burden of proof of the necessity for price rises was placed on business. But then two things happened: The big-industry unions would not perhaps could not wait for reconver sion and fall production before press ing for higher wages. And some indus tries have refused to commit them selves on uw wage scales in advance of Mttiir price relief fronrtOPA.t Hence the strikes in steel, meat pack ing and electrical goods. Hence, also, the fact that what the unions, industry, and the Govern ment should have done is largely water over the dam. What they did do means that Government has had to act positively on both wage and price questions instead of merely passing on appeals. The more nearly the two kinds of problems are now handled as one the better it should be. Christian Science Monitor. Ykdtiat Ren V . 1 y M& , and Mrs. Allen Boranlcer ef Niegara FaHs, N.
