President Roosevelt's physician reports that despfte the heavy strain under which he has been laboring, he has not been ill a day for the last 18 months, and seems in better health than ever Most Americans are familiar with the gallant fight the President waged against infantile paralysis and how by sheer force of will he overcame a handicap that would have relegated most mortals to a state of chronic invalidiam No man in the wide world, perhaps never before in history, has car- ried a heavier burden than that on the President's shoulders, Through it all he remains high-spirited, cheerful and optimistic, disproving a widely-held belief that White House service means an early grave Regardless of political beliefs, every patriotic citizen will pray that the President's luck holds and that he will enjoy his health and strength to see through to the finish the gigantic task destiny has assigned him. The world needs him today more than ever before.—Labor (Union paper. CUT AUTO LICENSE FEES A Legislative objective worthy of serious consideration is proposed by the Keystone Automobile Club. It suggests that motor fees be cut. The club says it is its belief that every motor vehicle owner is en- titled to a drastic reduction i, the amount he has to pay for registering his vehicle, In view of the limited use prescribed by the federal regitia- tions and enforced through gasoline rationing In the opinion of many motorists, expressed in a survey conducted by the club, it is unfair and inequitable for the states to continue to exact pre-war fees for vehicles which ¢an be used only a small part of the time. With lving costs mounting and income taxes reaching the highest point in the nation’s history, motorists Insist that state financial burdens should be lightened wherever possible. Opposed to the contention for immediate cut in fees is the argu- ment, advanced by some highway officials, that registration and otner fees should be continued on the present basis, to bulld up a huge post. par road-building fund. The sentiment of motorists on this argument is that immediate financial relief is to be preferred over benefits which may or may not, accrue in the future, There is no assurance, it is emphasized, that the states will scrupul- ously keep faith with motorist taxpayers and hold such funds exclusively for highway purposes, Governor James sald taxes could be cut. Governor-elect Martin says consideration will be given to reducing them. Here, then, is an item jadi gan and should be cut. It would be no more than fair--Altoona ne. THE WOUNDED DON'T DIE! The new techniques devised for the treatment of soldiers wounded in battle are performing miracles in saving the lives of these men. Russian Relief, Inc. says that on the 2,000-mile battlefront in Rus- sia, only 15 per cent of the wounded have died. Nearly forty per cent of the Russian wounded are back in the war and one-third are fight- ing soliders. Commenting on this, Howard W. Blakeslee, of The Associated Press, says that the Russian record is slightly higher than the remarkable recovery rate at Pear] Harbor, when 98 out of each 100 wounded were saved. The Russian recovery rate of 98.5 per cent of all wounded, how- ever, is not as good as “the Guadaleanal miracle of one per cent of | THE CENTRE DEMOCRAT, BELLEFONTE, PA. CERTIFICATE BUYING PLAN Every American Is familiar with the fact that due to war spending there Is a quick turn-over of money in the country and a stupendous “Inflationary gap,” which represent excess of income over goods avall- able for buyers To prevent inflation it is consid- ered necessary by financial experts to cut down the excess. Heavier Federal taxes, besides financing the war, play a part in this function and money invested In war bonds does the same, because it is taken out of the current spending total. The prevention of inflation is one of the prime responsibilities of Gov- ernment because of the inevitable deflation that will follow, The ex- perience of the last postwar period is enough to convince anvone of the necessity of extreme measures to prevent a repetition of the national misfortune Another problem which confronts the nation Is the conversion of our industries from war to peace-time operations. This economic change- over is a serious operation and jis speed and success will depend, In a large degree, upon the spending pow er of the people when war in con- cluded A heavy demand for con- sumer products would speed up the change and diminish the prospect of widespread unemployment One of the plans which has been suggested would permit individuals with excess Incomes at this time to buy preferred claims on war products not available now The automobile industry lustrate how the pian might work Americans who are unable to buy new cars now will need them after the war. They would be permitted to set apart some of the present ex- cess income for the purchase of a car when production is resumed and in consideration of so doing, would get a first cars manufactured The same idea would apply to the post-war purchases of refrigerators, oll-burners or stokers, washing ma- chines, kitchen high priced radio. phonograph home alr- conditioning units, vacation travel by ship, plane and milway and, sibly construction of houses Obviously, it could likewise apply to other Rolf policy in thought has aroused ficials of durable cot post - il« iu will priority” on the FRINges sets DOS the purchases Nugent OPA plan which enthusiasm manufacturing goods and smong which director of credit some he says the has given to the among of Concern umes consumer fAnNance companies would have a pe in the program He thinks that might absorb a onsiderable srtion of the expected 1043 come } fn ine between consumer d 8$7%.- exXCess of $£130.000.000 000 000,000,000 In available good The pla: 1 an tr provide a market for an undereay would not } post-war production but purpose Leon Hendersor that the plan be considered by the public and explains that each purchaser of the certificates would 110 per tof t merchan- rivet. receive cer he In dise, or ment the would be paid the amount Inve cash after the war.
