Truman'S S New Policy
by Thomas Stokes

his party on the io44 Vice Presidential campaign train. Presidential candidates do the second- string stuff, and often lonely.
 When Mir. Truman became President. George Al- len got desk in the White House. with some minor Government connections the excuse. He was still serving the numerous corporations with which he was affiliated.
 It quite a surprise to many here when he was nominated as an REC director by President Truman He put on e good show before the Senate Banking Committee which considered his nomination. He was full of jokes and wsecracks. and was most disarm ing when he started by tossing the table a com- plete list of his corporate connections number of Republicans opposed his confirmation in vain
 Among the business connections were some insar- ance companies as well as big industrial corporations
 Such background of insurance and big business does not conduce naturally to sympathy with the employment of REC resources in the housing field That was what Wilson Wyatt proposed and what he was authorized to do by the Act of Congress George Allen baked over loans for the Wyatt prefabrcating program, which is an important phase.
 As e matter of fact in the plot against the Wyatt ardently there also were involved three others in the top White House circle of advisers Secretary Snyder Clark Clifford. spcial counsel to the Presi- dent, and John Seeman reconversion and stabiliza- tion director. Mir. Wyatt already had been handi- capped by other developments, including the lifting of price controls which made 1t impossible to hold down prices of housing for veterans.
 The housing episode is just a symptom of the hardening of policy here against the use of Govern ment resources on large scale in our postwar econ- omy surrender to private business and finance. Mir. Wyatt urges that housing must be handled on an emergency basis. with Government aid, if we are to get anywhere.

 It so happens that the amount of cancer In the Army is higi-so much 90 that the number of cases is kept secret But one whole wing ct Walter Reed Hospital is devoted to cancer, and Dr. Freedman made so much progress that various editors got wlno od what was happening and tried to print the story.
 At this point, Surgeon General Norman Kirk stepped in It was made clear that Medical Corps policy did not permit mentioning the name Of any hospital specialist Only the Surgeon Generals office could be mentioned in connection with cancer rec search.
 The cancer specialists didn't particularly mind this policy. But as an aftermath of this Kirk wants Freedman kicked upstairs to an administrative post where he would shuffe papers instead of practicing medicine
 This Freedman refuses to do.
 Meanwhile, doctors criticize Kirk for continuing his wartime policy of wasting medics During the war he corralled % percent of the nations physicians, then let many of them spend about three months sitting idle for every month they devoted to medical practice. Some had much free time, they even or- ganized softball teams to keep themselves occupied Many would ahve stayed on in the Army. but were fed up with the regimentation of the Surgeon Gen. erals office.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 3-It is sometimes hard for the public 0 find out what goes on here So much of is done decately behind the scenes so that you don't even see the flash of the knife.
 The public is aware of the retreat that President Truman has been executing in recent weeks away from the things for which Franklin D. Roosevelt stood and fought
 Now the retreat has taken another turn and the hostage is Wilson Wyatt housing expediter, whose real estate and building interests which have yeped so long for his scalp
 This is the clearest indication so far who is maneuverng the retreat It demonstrates dramatically how the business banker influence quietly and ef- fectively is exertng itself administration policy through top advisers in the White House circle.
 These things don't just happen. who then, is re- sponsble9
 They are not far away. Chief among them are Secretary of Treasury Snyder and REC Director George E. Allen These are two of the men closest to the President They have his ear constantly Their backgrounds become important.
 John W. Snyder's is that of the banker, he has associated with St. Louis bank. He also served with the REC in the Jesse H. Jones regime and lke wise as Federal Loan Administrator, before being taken into the White House circle directly first reconversion and stabzation director and then Sec Tetary of Treasury.
 George Allen is the genial mar -about-town here of many years. familiar figure in New Deal circles, though not taken very seriously then He has been in and out of many careers, including tour of duty affabilty his native shrewdness and his many con- tacts here he ended up the boards of directors of many corporations which could his talents here. He won Harry Truman's friendship member of
