In a sharp critique the author argues the OPA aims to pressure small retailers by letting manufacturers raise prices while retail prices stay steady, creating a squeeze on merchants. The piece cites alleged government misuse of influence in the A and P case and calls for full congressional investigation to expose facts and preserve government integrity.
A congressional investigation report corroborates sworn statements by John Hartford and Jesse Jones about a $200000 loan and a $4000 settlement for Elliott Roosevelt. The piece questions prior denials as a deliberate lie and notes debate over Eastern Carolina Teachers College presidency after Leon Meadows's embezzlement conviction.
Washington bankers and veterans groups warn that a hidden provision in the readjustment act of 1945 would permit 50 percent government guaranteed loans to veterans by any lender without federal checks. The change would let lenders decide the investment's soundness by their own appraisal, risking veteran and taxpayer losses. The ABA supports a competing objective bill, while VA prepared to comment at Senate hearings.
Jack Stinnett reports the Veterans Administration bears the cost of appraising loans for veterans. High farm and real estate prices and scarce materials push veterans to use loan privileges, while officials question if relaxing loan restrictions is the solution. Officials from VA treasury banking and Capitol Hill seek benefits without inviting fraud and with taxpayer protection.
The columnist argues the administration backs a full employment bill that would upend budget rules, ignore taxes, and create a spending heaven. It claims the plan abandons balance and taxpayer protections, replacing fiscal limits with unemployment as the sole guide.
Paul Mallon argues for adaptive government policy linking taxes loans and interest to economic conditions. He contends the aim should be constructive encouragement of business to create jobs rather than unemployment spending. He criticizes a labor union view that spending alone solves downturns.
Dr. Ernest Mopkins argues over limits on student admissions at private colleges. The piece contrasts tax funded vs privately owned institutions and notes private schools may set entrance standards within state law. It warns some schools chiefly chase attendance by targeting athletic students.
George Sokolsky argues colleges should be measured by scholarship rather than athletic prestige or national prestige schemes. He faults admissions practices in judging leadership potential and urges restoration of universities to their core humanistic mission, citing Harvard Chicago and Dartmouth with emphasis on inclusive access.
Walter Winchell’s column remembers Ernie Pyle through a private projection of The Story of GI Joe with George Lait and Burgess Meredith. The piece traces Pyle’s wartime reporting, his humility, and his impact on journalism, noting his death on Ie Shima and memorial efforts by his widow Gerry.
