Truman Sa--00HeKnows 1952 Plans;
Research Group Uroes Hioher Taxes -,, - .--
CONFIDENT HARRY--Harry S. Truman, appearing "fat and l
sassy", as the home town folks would put it, was back in Washingtor. I
after his three-week vacation in Florida for a round of activities which
included greeting President Vincent Auriol of France, and a speech
before Latin-American foreign ministers, meeting in Washington to dis-
cuss topics concerning western hemisphere peace and security.
But it wasn't confident Harry's speech making and social whirl thal
made the biggest headlines in the nation's press. It was his statement
that he knew whether or not he would seek re-election in 1952 that threw
Main Street voters into a surge of speculation. Mr. Truman told them
blandly that he had made up his mind and he would tell "all in due
time."
The statement also caused considera-
ble speculation among professional
politicians throughout the country, with
the majority believing he won't run
again. Remembering that Truman is no
amateur politician himself, average
Main Street voters were about equally
divided in their speculation.
One government official, however,
backed his belief with a public state-
ment. Michael J. Galvin, undersecretary
of labor, said Truman will run and will

The group recently proposed increasing federal taxes by that
amount, including a federal sales tax. The program was frankly tailored
to restraining consumer spendingby the sales tax and higher excise
taxes, a surtax on individual incomes, tight restrictions on bank credits,
and encouragement of private savings.
According to the C.E.D. the small town income group must pay be-
cause "it is these incomes that provide the largest part of consump-
tion expenditures."
TWO YEARS OF DRIVE Charles E. Wilson, top man of the ad-
mlnistration's mobilization effort, in his first report said with two more
years of drive and unity, the U.S. should be strong enough to give
"reasonable safety against aggression" and a high-level civilian econo-
my at the same time.
For the average American in the home towns of the nation, Wilson
listed these necessary efforts: (1) Virtually every qualified young man,
upon reaching a certain age. will have to serve in the armed forces;
(2) everyone will have to pay more taxes; (3) people will have to wait
for some of the things they want to buy--new housing and automobiles;
(4) there will be dislocations in the economy and some production cut-
backs and unemployment: (5) the technological and social progress of
the nation will be slowed down.
Upon one point he was insistent: In-
flation must be stopped and the economy
controlled. In this category is farming,
on which the Main Street of America di-
rectly or indirectly depends. He said
careful attention must be given to
changing the farm-price pro*visions of
the Defense Production Act "in such a
way as to accomplish a greater degree
of stability in food prices and at the
same time treat farmers equitably in
relation to the other elements of the
economy,"
As for present price controls, he said:
"There is no doubt that, if price controls
had not been put on, prices would have
risen much farther and faster since Mobilizer Wilson
January than they actually have." Two years o/ work still ahead,

The people of America's bread basket were wondering if the shake.
up may mark the start of another campaign to sell the nation on the
Brarman plan. The average midwest farmer has not been enthusiasti,
about the secretary's proposed program.
NEW SYSTEMOn April 30 grocery items comprising more than
60 per cent of the $32 billioA spent annually for food in this country will
go under rigid margin controls at wholesale and retail levels.
Michael V. DiSalle, director of price sabilization, who announced
the new controls, reported the immediate 'impact of these regulations
will be to reduce prices," but he warned the Main Street housewife not
to expect big reductions.
Among the major foods covered in the new regulations are butter,
packaged cheese, baby foods, cocoa, breakfast cereals, coffee and tea,
flour, flour mixes, canned and frozen fruits and vegetables, Jams and
JeUies, lard, mayonnaise and salad dressings, shortenings, canned meats
and canned fish.
Items not covered are fresh milk and cream, fresh meats, bread,
fresh fruits and vegetables, sugar, ice
cream, soft drinks and candy, along
with many less important foods and
"specialty" items.

code of its own, knew every time
Virginia had a large chunk of cash.
The mobsters also knew that if they
robbed her, she couldn't report it

underworld to steal loot from itself.

Railroad Strike Impasse
Only one issue has been holding
up settlement of the long, bitter
I railroad strike--namely, the role
of Presidential Assistant John Steel-
man as mediator. The railroads
want the likable ex-Alabama col-
lege professor to arbitrate future
differences, but the railroad broth-
erhoods want someone else.
One reason that labor won't
accept Steelman is a secret
memo that was intercepted
from S. H. Pulliam to B. B.
Bryant, who are handling the
strike negotiations f o r the
Chesapeake and Ohio railroad.
This secret memo declares:
"The rules will be Steelman's
Interpretations which are pret-
ty much the same as the rail-
roads'."
Porrestal's Diary
The defense department has re-
cently been urged to release the
private diary of the late Secretary
of Defense James Forrestal, and
to that end an edited version was
sent to the joint chiefs of staff for
approval. However, they dropped it
!ike a hot .potato.
Some of the hot spots that caused
the joint chiefs of staff to keep the
diary suppressed are:
Forrestal told how he came close
to firirg then Secretary of the Air
Force Symington in the spring of
1948 for an unauthorized, pro-air
force speech on the west coast.
Forrestal also complained of
his troubles getting tire three
services to agree on war strat-
egy and a defense budget.
Twice he appealed to General
Marshall to support increases
In the n ilitary budget. The first
time, Marshall was secretory
of state and favored priorities
for foreign std instead. The sec-
ond time MarshM! urged that
the extra money be spent for
universal military training.
Forrestal also wrote bitterly of
his distrust of the French and Brit-
ish. The diary has now gone back to
the custody of the President's naval
aide, Rear Adm. Robert L. Den-
nison.

The way is now open for Wilson to name a representative of labor

between the mobilization director's office and organized labor.

crops. Government crop reporters
who made the department survey
came up with two explanations for
reduced plantings: (1) A farm
labor shortage and (2) a reluctance
to plow up land which,, at govern-

grass.
The outlook carries the threat of
rigid rationing by next year.

letter went out under the signature
of Republican state chairman David
Martin of Kearney, Nebraska--sup-

edge, but actually upon Wherry's
orders.
The letter also included a copy
of a speech, plugging Wherry,
which was delivered at the Nebras-

George Tunison What the letter
neglected to mention, however, is
that Tunison is Wherry's campaign
manager.
Slow Arms Shipments
Britain's new foreign minister,
Herbert Morrison, has complained
to the American embassy that U.S.
arms are slow in arriving.
Morrison told Ambassador Waiter
Gifford, former head of American
Telephone and Telegraph, that
shipments are so far behind it is
]eopardizing British plans.
Morrison also apologized that his
first official contact since taking
over as foreign minister had to do
with a complaint.
