Battle On Car Sales Ford and General Motors seem to be head ed for a showdown battle over the best-selling automobile in the United States and the cru cial round in the struggle will come in 4955. General Motors is guarding its plans for the 1955 Chevrolet—with which it hopes to regain the sales lead—carefully. The compa ny was so shocked when the Wall Street Journ al recently revealed some of the 1955 changes that it withdrew its large advertising account from the paper. Not only are General Motors and Ford girding for a sales battle in 1955, but Chrysler hopes to change the Plymouth enough to put it once again into a really competitive sales position. Sales of new cars this year are not ex pected to top 5,000,000—which is still near the all-time record—but next year the com petition will be even keener and sales prob ably higher and all of the major producers of the lowest priced best sellers will be offering the public important innovations. It doesn’t look as if prices will come down at the moment, but it appears certain the steel pay increase won’t push prices up either. The biggest change is likely to appear in the cars themselves—the 1955 models—and not in price or sales total. The 1955 models are expected to hit the market in December or January, or perhaps a bit earlier this year. Besides, Ford, Chevro let and Plymouth, major changes are expected in most of the Chrysler cars: Pontiac, Packard and other Ford company automobiles are among those expected to offer major changes. U. S. Industry Vulnerable United States Chamber of Commerce Pres ident Clem B. Johnston, speaking before 250 industrial leaders recently, said that an enemy air attack on the United States would aim first at wrecking the nation’s industrial, power. This is not a new observation. In this regard, however, it is a little sur prising that the United States has failed to appreciate the lesson of World War II. The combined British-American aerial onslought against Germany in 1943, 1944 and 1945 reached such proportions that Hitler was forc ed to disperse his industry into numerous small-town plants. It was common practice for parts to be built in a number of plants, in the country or small ^towns, and fabricated at another small-town or even under-ground plants. U. S. industry, however, is not dispersed, little of it has been placed under-ground, and our major industrial cities continue to be prime targets for a potential aerial aggressor. There have been disturbing reports in the last year that certain critical defense items are being concentrated (in production) in one or two key plants. This is the exact mistake made by Ger many in the early years of World War II, and it is the reason the Germans found themselves so short of fuel in 1944 and 1945. Oddly enough, the United States appears destined to continue along its way with private business handling practically all our defense work, concentrated in the key industrial cen ters, and extremely vulnerable to enemy air attack. Such a situation comes close to invit ing disaster, and when the disaster occurs, there will be anguished cries about miscalcul ations and a lack of foresight from the citizen ry. Then, however, it will be too late—as is too often the case with democracies concern ing preparations for war. ECONOMIC HIGHLIGHTS • Happenings That Affect the Future of Every Individ ual Nation and International Problems Insepar able From Local Welfare. • You can’t get something for nothing, even from the Federal government. And the reliance of the states on Federal funds is a debilitating element in our national life. Those are, in essence, the major points made in a study of “Federal Grant-in-Aid Programs" which was recently published by the Chamber of Com merce of the United States. It is significant that leaders of both parties strongly feel that a reassessment of Federal-State re lationships is in order. In urging the creation of a commission to deal with the matter. President Ei senhower observed: “The present division of acti vities between Federal and State governments, in cluding their local subdivisions, is the product of more than a century and a half of piecemeal and often haphazard growth. This growth in recent dec ades has proceeded at a speed defying order and efficiency. Nbw there is need to review and assess, with prudence and foresight, the proper roles of the Federal, State and local governments.” Gover nor Stevenson, in a 1952 campaign speech, stated that the Federal government "should be unen cumbered in the discharge of its monstrous major duties by a lot of other jobs it need not do, and the states are the dikes which we build more strongly against the flood waters sweeping toward the Dis trict of Columbia.” The Chamber's study says: “The present tasks of the Congress in the sphere of na tional defense and foreign relations are crushing. Congress must be freed from time-consuming con cern with those governmental functions which can be performed by states and local communities.” The trend toward reliance on the central gov ernment has been enormously accelerated in a rel atively short period of time. In the 20’s. Federal grants to the states were confined to about 10 functions and amounted to only $100,000,000 a year, ot which 75 per cent was earmarked for highways. Last year these grants came to $2,600,000,000 and covered 40 programs. The fields of health, education and welfare, all historically local responsibilities, ac counted for 75 per cent of the money. Along with this has come a drastic change in the tax situation. Prior to 1913, there was little tax duplication between the federal government and the states. Now duplication is the rule rather than the exception—as witness personal income taxes, Corporate income taxes, estate and gasoline taxes, and so on. And, to quote the Chambers’ study again, the federal grants, rather than being gifts, are in reality “a partial return of money taken from the states and their peoples by the Washington tax gatherers.” Just what activities should again be regarded as purely state and local functions is a matter in which there are vast divergences of opinion. But it is obvious that very important changes must be made if anything even resembling the old separation of powers philosophy which the founding fathers view ed as the cornerstone of our liberties is to be re gained. We will have to work on the principle that nothing which is possible to accomplish on the state and local levels can be delegated to another authori ty. And that, if it happens, will be sweeping adjust ment indeed. * .Off hand, Fi say put legs on It and sell ft with ’ . a Tribune Want Ad for a footstool!” . .

Suppose a little child was not afraid of a venemous snake, or fe rocious wild beast. He would inno cently seek them for playmates, with the result that the snake would bite him or the beast devour him. Fear makes him find safety in concealment, fight or cries for help. Thus he protects himself from injury or death. The man who belongs to cult that claims that there is no such thing as disease, is like the child who is not afraid of the venemous reptile. He may be warned by pain, still he tells himself that there is no such thing as sickness. He does not be lieve in physicians nor remedies, consequently, he does not heed na ture’s warnings. His belief does not save him if his trouble is an or ganic one. If it is functional he will get all right by forgetting all about it. But there’s the risk to run.

The writer was recently talking to an old woman who had just buried her husband. She belonged/ to the cult of faith healers. When questioned as to what she did for him when he was sick, her redly was that she called the believers together, and they anointed him with oil and prayed over him. “Did he get any better?’/ was the query. “No, he was in /agony all night, and then went home to Jesus.” / Maybe if they had gotten a doc tor, he would have diecv anyway, but at least he could Have been relieved of his sufferings. These misguided people forget that the good book tells us thay"Faith with out work is dead.” / The fear of death by punishment is not confined to/man alone. It exists among all animals of a high er order of intelligence, though man alone of a/l creation fears what may come/ after death. Yet death itself is seldom accompanied by pain. As a rule as the last hour approaches the senses become dull ed, finally imconsciousness inter venes, and he passes out without knowing anything about it.

Nature, the kind old mother, prepares us for the last great adventure, by dulling the senses, and putting the mind to /sleep. That is, in natural death. But the fear of death is a whole some safeguard, when it induces people to avoid dangerous hazards, to care for their health, and to seek a physician when something goes wrong with their bodies. Na ture made us fear death in order to preserve the human race from destruction. If death seemed a pleasant thing there would be more suicides than there are. Only the man who feels sure of the beyond, and trusts implicity in his God contemplates death with calmness and without fear. As William Allen Bryant wrote: “So live, that when thy summons comes to join The innumerable caravan, which moves, To that mysterious realm, where each shall take His chamber in the silent halls of death, Go thou not, like the quarry slave at night, Scourged to his dungeon, but sustained and soothed By an unfaltering trust, approach thy grave, Like one who wraps the drapery of his couch , About him and lies down to pleasant dreams.” the pert in water until the hall Ia well Soaked.

They stopped in Ridgeland, S. C., Dowl ing Park, Fla., and Bridgeport, Ala. The first was overnight, in an old parish, the second was, at a camp meeting on-the Suwannee RIVer, and the third brought a few days’ visit with parents at the old home. The Bible study course taught by Pastor Joyner at Camp Suwan nee was called, “Rambling Through to Revelation,” and it was well received. A severe cold plag ued the teacher in most of the classes, but hone of them were missed. After several hundreds of miles of travel through the South, the Joyners are of the opinion that the farmers of the Mount Olive area have been greatly blessed. Corn crops were much less prom ising than here, and the cotton appeared to have been retarded in growth and development. The occupants of Salem parson age have had no opportunity of late to settle down and enjoy life here. This week they are at Camp Dixie, just outside Wilmington, where Pastor Joyner is attempting to interest a class in “Spiritual Perfection,” as taught in the Bible. As of this coming Saturday, the Joyners expect to be at home for a while. The church is looking forward to the coming of the evangelist, the Rev. Gordon O. Reed, and the be ginning of the revival effort on Monday night, September 6. Addi tional mention will be made of this in the next issue of this pa per. Because of the revival effort just mentioned, the date for the regular meeting nf the mission so ciety of the church has been ad vanced one week. Members are asked to remember the time and place: tonight at eight o’clock, at the church. If traffic evils are to be done away with, slapping an offender on the wrist will never be the answer.
