—————
SEATTLE, i/P>—Mayor John A.
Talbot of Ketchikan sailed for
home Saturday after a three-week
tour of the Orient as a guest of
secretary of the treasury Snyder.
The party visited numerous
Japanese cities, Hong Kong, Hono
lulu and Wake Island. Talbot join
ed the group in Alaska for the
flight westward via the Aleutians.
Talbot said one of the highlights
o: the trip, was a dinner given by
Gen. Douglas MacArthur at Tok
yo. After an inspection of several
cities, including Hiroshima, Tal
bot was impressed with the feel
ing of admiration he found -among
the Japanese for MacArthur’s ad
ministration of the islands.
In the Philippines secretary
Snyder’s party came within gun
shot of the civil war.
Talbot told how he got to go
along on the trip with the cabinet
member because of a trick of the
weather. Talbot had flown to An
nette Island to greet Snyder -and
Rear Adm. Merlin O’Neill, com
mandant of the coast guard. The
weather kept him from flying
back to Ketchikan. Snyder invited
him to fly on to Juneau and then
extended an invitation for the
Orient flight.

Warn Against
Inflation In 11. 8.
WASHINGTON, I/P)—Warnings
of inflation are fluttering again in
■ the Capital, but most of the econo
mic lookouts discount any imme
diate peril. They see fairly steady,
prosperous sailing thVoug h o u t
1950.
President Truman is not expect
ed to rev’ive his demands of a
year ago for drastic “standby” an
ti-inflation powers. This is de
spite the rise in credit to new
peaks, the firming of prices, and
the fall improvement in business
and employment.
Gove rnment economists and
some private experts report the
revival of an “inflationary poten
tial.” They base the report mainly
on heavy in-th-red spending by
the government and on the new
round of wage-and-pension in
creases.
Yet few of them expect a major
price whirl in the next 12 months.
The “disinflation” is not over
; for some important industries.
I Many economists believe the long
j rage hazard is deflation.
A concensus of the forecasts
might boil down to this:
1950 will be another year of
high income and high production,
on a level of prosperity not too
unlike 1949 and not far below rec
ord-smashing 1948.
Inflation warnings have been
| uttered by two bank presidents
and other witnesses before Sena
tor Douglas’ fD.-111.) economic
sub-committee. These have stirred
: speculation whether Mr. Truman
: will again seek controls over
prices, wages, commodity trading
and materials allocation.
The decision, if it is not already
made, will come in the next
month as the President prepares
his annual economic message to
i the new session of Congress.
Persons in close touch with
White House planing say a new
bid for controls is unlikely and.
even in one comes, would be
turned down by Congress.
This view is voiced by Senator
Flanders of Vermont, a Republi
can manufacturer and a member
o fthe Senate-House economic

The* toddler is a miniature scien
tist, aged twelve to twenty-four
months, whose experiments carry
him into every corner of the house
and yard. While “trying things out,”
he spills sugar and flour, lets the
bathtub run-over, and is the un
witting cause of an unbroken series
of minor catastrophies.
No hero of a Greek drama ever
had as many “tragic” mishaps to
contend with as the small child be
tween one and two years old.
In Childcraft books, I)r. Harold
H. Anderson, Head of the Depart
ment of Psychology at Michigan
State College, points out that the
toddler “does not mean to he naugh
ty. He’s not trying to be disobedient.
He’s just at an age when spon
taneity is high. He is — ladies and
gentlemen — an investigator with
ideas galore, who’s doing something
every blessed minute of the day!”
That won’t come as much of a
surprise to you mothers of babies
going-on-two, who are breathless
and exhausted much of the time
from chasing after them, through
house and yard.
To the toddler, “touching sand
paper or feeling sugar on the floor
is a strange experience; hearing
paper tear or rattle, an amazing dis
covery. When he sallies forth to
make the most of his five senses,
he puts everything in his mouth and
occasionally gets new sensations of
smell as well as of taste and touch.
“In brief, the age from one to two
is a period in which the child has
intense curiosity hut little judge
ment,” Dr. Anderson points out.
i Because the toddler stage is “a
crucial training period” when the
child is learning about the world
around him, it is particularly im
portant that parents understand
thib phase of development and the
problems common to it.
Study what to expect a child to
do and enjoy watching him grow.
committee who usually votes with
the Democratic majority:
“I don’t see any reason for any
inflation controls at all at this
time. I think we are on a pretty
even keel right now.”
