RATES $1.50 YEAR. Military, Defense Produc tion to be Doubled On Saturday night Pre sident Truman addressed ’ the nation on economic con trols in relation to the pre sent war effort and to a long range defense pro gram/ The President stated that the U.~S. had been spending approximately 15 million dollars a year for defense and that defense efforts and military stren gth must be doubled to re alize, the security needed '’By this "couYftry and the free European countries. By next year, he said, this country will bespending 30 million dollars a year for defense in this country and in European probably more after that. To double our military strength and our defense program here and abroad, the President gave three j problems which must be solved before the security* effort can be met. The production of more equipment and supplies for the military was the first problem stated. To meet and solve this problem it will be necessary to step up production in various war plants, and in some cases reduce or cease production of civilian materials ,and turn totally to war manu facture, the President said. A bill has been passed and signed allowing business men to secure Government aid in expansion of plants for war production. The next problem is the raising of money to finance the defense program. The President said the “pay as you go” method is the only Major and Mrs. Bryce Hedlund and son, Joel Ray, formerly of Washington, D. C. are visiting Mrs. Hed lund’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. W. C.

Through higher taxation, he pointed out, we can not only keep the national debt down, but we can keep ; prices down also. The third problem the President said must be fought, is that of inflation. He said that as the defense program speeded up, more men and women would be working and would be ear , ning higher wages. Higher i earnings with fewer things ■ on the market will have a tendency to start inflation in the country. To help combat this situation, the President asked that every one refrain from “panic buying”, save a s much . money as possible out of ! every pay check, and spend /only what is necessary to, | meet the higher cost ofi 'living. If this is done and , everyone. controls his spen ding, price controls and | wage ceilings will not be : necessary. However, if this 'self control is not carried out, the President , said Government control and! ; rationing* will be necessary in order to quell the.-i.lood of inflation. In climaxing his address, the President said, “Today, [ spurred by the world-wide menace of Communist im perialism, we can surpass every previous record. I am certain that the American people, working together, can build the strength , needed to establish peace in the world.” i Mrs. T. H. Jackson of , Queensburg, Kv. and Mrs. 1 ,\R. E. Powell of Mt.
