B Inhere is a great deal of unfortunate misunderstanding
pwtoeeming the payments which the government is autho-
Hped to make to shipowners to help with the construction
■Si!'new vessels. These are not, in any sense, subsidies which
■Kiarantee the owners a profit. They are designed to par-
Pally compensate for the fact that shipbuilding costs a
Kfeeat deal more here than in other major maritime na
if-. The new super-liner United States is a case in point. It
ipQSt an estimated $21,000,000 more to build her in this
jjaotintry than it would have in a foreign yard. And defense
pleasures required by the Navy, which make possible her
Kuick conversion to military use, amounted to an ad
liitional $26,000,000. Government agencies agreed to pay
llttese extra costs.
|f§! The fact remains, however, that shipbuilding in this
Ifeonntry is iif the doldrums, and at a time when the ship
gplng Industry should be-engaged in a large-scale new con
■mjctitei and replacement program. One primary reason
■Be this is that the degree to whieh government can par
pßCipate by making construction equality payments under
Epie 1836 act has become uncertain and confused. Ques
tions are raised by one government agency as to the extent
EpO which funds were used by another agency. The result
Ek that some shipping companies have been forced to
Htspend or cancel plans for vessels which are urgently
[ p-. The only solution is a new and clear declaration of
■overnment policy in this important matter. That' is
Essential if this nation is to have an adequate merchant
■garine in the future—a merchant marine which President
Bpaenhoyei? has described as “vital to the stability and
■mansion of our foreign trade.”

A SENSE OF PROPtoRTION
Every year, about this time, I
feel the closeness of the soil, a lust
for the earth. I don’t, know why
this should be so. City-bred, city
reared, I find myself at heart a
peasant.
So I went up to my farm and
met Pedrola. She had been named
Pedro until it was discovered that
she could lay eggs. So, she became
Pedrola. Even Christine Jorgensen,
male or female, as you please, can
not lay eggs, but Pedrola can. She
must be a lady pigeon.
Now, I am not familiar with the
ways of pigeons, having only seen
them in the mass, hundred or even
thousands of them in parks or- in
the vicinity of churches. But never
have I had any business with an
individual pigeon until I met Ped
rola. But here is an Individual
a distinctive personality,
Pedrola follows a person as a dog
does. She is interested in what is
happening and pokes her nose into
everybody’s business She walks a
long i« constant conversation, ap
parently cocking ah eye to see if
she is being listened-to.
I was new to Pedrola, but she took
to me as a fellow-pigeon, cooing
and gurgling and strutting. Os
course, I did not understand her
language, but it made no difference,
for Pedrola had falien in love. And
the language of love is universal.
No pigeon had ever fatten in love
with me before and I cßd not know
the customs of pigebhs at' all. It ;
was all so very sudden. Pedrola
must have understood my dilemma,
for she flew onto my- shoulder,
pecked at the lobe of my ear, and
talked bewitch!ngiy. As though that
were not enough, she jumped on
my head became comfortable an£
went for a aide.
X had been warned that pigeons
can be unseemly, but Pedrola ap
parently chose to have no untoward
incidents, are sat' cfilmjy and'with
great dignity on my head, which
must have made me look like a
Viking or something. And Whieh she
wearied-of that posture,, she flew
away, circled and returned:
My dog, Brownie, is very Jealous
of anyone paying me such attent
ion# and- I- feared- that- Brownie
might waylay Pedrola and. eat her
But that did not* happen'.’ Eactr

-I COupTnot help thinking all the
time how things in nature always
go their own wayTno matter what
we humans do aboiit It. A* corona

but if it ha* to rain, raftub just ’
the same even if a queeh is being

The j seasons know no wars and
no peace, but rhythmically one
follows the other and always in the
proper order. Men and woihen ptefi
and plot to make the world as they
would have it, but the old world
goes oh behaving as-1* chooses. >:
It is like great craters madi 1 kg
shot and shell. But the grass comes
lft from 1 nowhere, and then bracken
appears and perhaps a tree, and
the battle-scarred terrain is what
it was meant to be. Nature is

pointment with President Eisen- :
hower on Tuesdays.
■But the other day Ike called in '
his appointment secretary, Tom i

he had to entertain the disabled ■
war veterans at a garden party
Wednesday, he would change his ,
usual .golfing afternoon from Wed*

interfere with Secretary Wilson’s

TAX CZAR REED
Publicity, Speaker Joe Martin is
still optimistic that a truce will
be worked out’ between President
Eisenhower and GOP Congressman
Dan Reed in the red-hot battle
over extending the excess-profits
tax.
But privately, the Speaker is
becoiftlng more and more worried.
If anytMng; the opposition to the
president within tlje Ways .and
Means Committee is stiffening.
One example way the brutal
mauling Undersecretary ot the
Treasury Marion B. Folsom Receiv
ed at a committee hearing from
both Congressmen Reed and Noah
Mason of Illinois. Their treatment
of Folsom was so rough that Dem
ocrat Jere Cooper of Tennessee
chided Ms GOP colleagues for be
laboring “A high official for try
ing to Uo his duty.”
Meantime, another formidalbe—
in fact, almost impassible road
block is forming against Eisen
hower.
Congress cannot act on the pro
fits tax bill unless Chairman Reed
permits the bill to get out of his
Ways and Means Committee to
the Qouse floor. And Reed is pri
vately telling Mends thiat he will
not “caH up” the bill for a com
mittee vote to report it to the
floor if he has reason to believe
a majority of the committee will
vote to report out the tax measure
favorably over Ms head.
Amazing as it sounds, Reed has
this arbitrary power, since, under
the Archaic rules of Congress, on
ly a committee chairman, or an
acting chairman designated by
him, can "call up”—that is, for
malty present—a bitt- for a vote
regardless of how the rest of the
committee may stand on the mea
sure.
Thus, Reed can forestall the
tax-extension bill indefinitely, and

WOMAN WONDERS IF SHE’S
POSSESSIVE-MOM TYP E, IN
WANTING MARRIED daugh
ters TO VISIT HER
DEAR MARY HAWORTH:
Thank goodness Mother’s Day
comes only once a year, for it
means that certain mothers are
spared some measure of disap
pointment. Is a mother expecting
too much in hoping to be with
her children on Mother's Day? Or
am I one of those possessive moms
I reid about? I don’t expect you
to print my letter, yet my ex
perience might be of interest to
your readers.
I have two married daughters;
both lira within an hour's drive
of my home; yet neither found
Urns or the inclination to spend
an hour or two with me, to share
a meal or a cup of tea on Moth
er’s Day. When the older girl was
between 10 and 18, she always
wrote * poems or a beautiful letter,
to me! on Mother’s Day, which I
still keep. ,
This yekr one girl left a gift
for pate at the door on the day
previous, and though both girls are
financially able to. give me pre
sents, thank God I don’t need any
thing. Os course, I can always use
lingerie, gloves, etc., but X am not
in need 'and , I have a reputation
Egnong friends (and acquaintances)
of befiagi a good. motheh bring
ing up two daughters to be good
dean citizens. They never wore
dirty shoes, torrr clothes and' un
washed dungarees such as I see
on the strsef* nowadays.,
My daughters are happily mar
ried, so no linger need me, but
why not put themselves out one
day a year to bring happiness to
the old lady? It wouldn’t tax them
too .mfich and a little considera
tion would give the. old folks more
to lira-for, in the few years left
to us. What is your- idea? Thanks.
ANOTHER VIEW V '
OF BENTOBHNT

They run away, But this does not
solve those difficulties. For the ,
problems still face them, in even w
greater degree, the moment they
sober up.
But alcohol is not the only es
cape-device used by mankind. Some
people flee from fearful social con
tacts by being hermits. They desert
mankind.
Others become "floaters” who al
ways think the grass on the other
side of the fence is greener. So they
drift from one job or city to a
nother as “rolling stones.”
Gambling is another flight from j
reality into a make-believe world
where its victims cherish a child
like belief in “Lady Luck.” They
never grow up emotionally, for they
think somehow, Somewhere Luck
will defeat the laws of mathematics.
INSANITY
The dope habit is another way of
trying to run away from reality.
And people who use sleeping tab
lets show the same early tendency
to seek at> outside medicinal escape a.
mechanism. •
Suicide is another evidence of
a one-way final flight. In the stock
market crash of 1929, many men
couldn’t face their reduction from
wealth to poverty, so they fled via
suicide.
Jilted lovers, as well as others
who become overwhelmed with fail
lure and refuse to keep fighting,
also flee via suicide.
Insanity lq another very wide
spread form of flight from reality.
Here Hie flight is psychological. ]
The victims withdraw from the.
world into a mental turtle-shell ex
istehce.
So teach your children to stand
pat and battle their problems.
Praise them for finishing their
chores.
For quitters in adult life are
those who failed to finish their
childish tasks.
So learn to finish your jobs! And
argue with yourself if you are fear-
I ful. <i
’ Put up a bold front, for that is
basis of courage. .
Tom simply started running away
- from his tasks even as a child un
. til now it is a habit.

To a large extent, emotional
: habit is the progenitor of one's t

i daughters keep their distance—to
[ avert an injection of doldrums, no
, doubt.
Dreary minded, self-righteous
i parents—no matter how dutiful
, they are—tend to drive their chll
dren away, in the mood of flee
