ion, and other candidates may as
well withdraw.
Mr.. Brooks expressed the opin-
ion that the convention endorse
ment idea being tried out in Ne
braska for the first time is a men
ace rather than improvement.
With respect to talk that the
race will be run only between the
first and second convention picks
Col. Brooks says, Does this mean
that there has been some pre-coe-
vention understandings, and that
machine politics, bossism, etc,
which were relegated to the ash
heap with the adoption of the
Primary Law, have returned to
Nebraska along with the pre-
primary convention?
Col. Brooks says that under the
free primary system, it is entirely
up to the voters of the state to
select the candidates for the var
ious offices without the suggestion
of dictatorial preference.

WACE-PRICES
Go Sign

Formulation of the administra-
tons new sterilization policy set
ting a pattern for wage increases of
from Is to IL per cent and permit
ting price boosts wherever neces-
sary to assure prewar profit mar
gins, represented a victory for the
conservative advisers of President
Truman.
Spearheaded by John Snyder, St.
Louis banker and director of war
mobilization and reconversion, the
conservatives held that price as
well as wage readjustment was nee
essary to spur postwar production.
With goods flowing to market in vol
ume, they held, prices would auto
matically find their right level in a
competitive economy.
In announcing the new wage
price policy. which was designed TO
settle the major steel, auto and cleo
trical strikes. Mr.. Truman hoped
that it would result in an early
resumption of mass production that
alone could head off an imitation
airy spiral. In the meantime, he
asked for extension of price control,
subsidies and ALLEGATIONS and priori-
ties to temporarily hold living costs
in line and break industrial bottle
necks.
In winning his point of view, Sny-
der was permitted to retain his
over-aH control over the stabiliza-
ton policy, with former OPA chief
tain Chester Bowles put in charge
of administering the new formula.
Bowles had stood firmly for a more
rigid wage-price program. believing
lower costs would lead to greater
purchasing power and volume, but
agreed to cooperate in making the
new policy work.

Curmudgeon's" action would have
on Democratic chances in the 1916
congressional and 1913 presidential
elections.
In resigning from the cabinet aft
err Is years of service as n of the
liberal New Deal stalwarts, Hon
est Harold" as Ickes is sometimes
known, warned Mr.. Truman that po-
litical pressure for retention of state
control over underwater oil e
serves could result in a scandal
similar to Teapot Dome. He also
said that pressure to assess admin
~istrative personnel for campaign
purposes might create a major
scandal.
Although it was long rumored that
Ickes might leave the Presidents
cabinet, his dramatic departure
grew out of his charges that Pauley
had suggested to him that $500, 600
could be raised for the 1914 presi-
Dental race if the government
dropped a suit the interior secre-
tary instituted to place underwater
oil reserves under federal rather
than state control. When Pauley
denied the allegation and Mr..
Truman declared that Ickes' testi-
mony might be inaccurate, the "Old
Curmudgeon' stated that the Pres
ident's lack of confidence in him left
him no alternative but to submit
his resignation.
III feelings between Ickes and Mr..
Truman were further pointed up by
the Presidents order making the
resignation Immediately effective
rather than on March 81 as the in
terror secretary had requested so
that he might push through the
Anglo-American oil treaty (which
(he) had nurtured and raised by
bottle from the beginning"
While the liberal Ickes, long a
prominent figure in reform poll
tics, said he would not oppose the
Presidents reelection in 1913, he
qualified his statement by pointing
out that he had cast his ballot as a
delegate to the 1914 convention for
Henry A. Wallace for vice presi-
dent.

Many Provisions in Bill

One of these fertilizer bills was
introduced in the senate by Sena-
tors Lister Hill and John Bank
head of Alabama. An identical bill
was put into the house hopper by
Rep. John Flanagan Jr. of Vir-
ginia. Briefly, they provide: con-
struction of a fertilizer plant at or
near Mobile, Ala, and purchase of
enough phosphate lands in Florida
to provide raw material for at least
SO years by the Tennessee Valley
authority; construction of two
plants in the west and purchase of
enough potash and phosphate re-
serves for so years of operation by
the secretary of the interior; five
member state advisory committees
in each state named by presidents
of Immigrant colleges; a 15-member
national fertilizer policy committee
to advise the secretary of agricul-
ture; free fertilizer test program on
at least rs farms in every county of

output of the three plants; lease or
sale of the plants to farm
tives after five years; providing
farm security administration loan
money to c~o-operatives to buy them
DR. form new co-operatives which will
buy if there are no takers.
A bill with similar detectives is
in the house sponsored by Rep.
Estes Kefauver of Tennessee, but
places the whole program in the lap
of iva.
In the meantime the government
would control thousands of acres of
phosphate and potash lands, which
would make it tough on private
manufacturers.
At any rate. farm organizations
and the government are fertilizer
minded and fertilizer as a natural
resource is more than a possibility

Demand for wheat will exceed sup
plies by 200 million bushels and
stocks Of other grains will be linn

rice will be available than in pre-

A shortage of meat will persist
in Europe and Russia, the depart

tlon retarded by use of feed grains

supplies of fish will be higher than
last year, cheese and egg stocks will
not meet demands.
The total Of fats and oils will APP
proximate only two-thirds of import
needs while sugar consumption will
fall to the lowest level in a decade.
Only half as much butter will be
available for world trade as in pre-
war years.
In contrast to the tight world food
situation, the American larder will
stay well stocked. barring poor
crops. Only butter and sugar sup

fewer eggs are predicted, available
ity of more meat should cut de-

Doar Mr.. Howard:


Dear Mr.. Howard:
This is in r~efere--ce to your re
cent letter concerning the first
State Pre-Primary Convention tc
be held in Omaha March 10Th and
10th. AS a candidate for governor
1 feel the responsibility of airing
my views and that of thousands
of others.
Of course, therei is no reason
Why the political leaders of the
safe should not meet and pick
heir preference of candidates for
ne various state offices. But like
.y.sc, why shouldn't the Farmers
Pens oners, Chambers Of Com
nerce, and the many civic and
patriotic organizations do the
same things?
1t seems to me that listing the
first and second choice on the pri-
nary ballot it too d%ictatorial and
contrary to the intent and pur.
pose of the election laws of the
State. AS a voter, l would resent
being told by any one group for
whom I must vote, and 1 predict
that a majority of the thinking
voters of the state would feel the
same.
Furthermore, newspaper reports
indicate that some of my oppon-
ents are insinuating that after
tbs March convention the guber-
Material race will be between only
the two candidates who happen
to be the first and second choice
of this convention, and the other
candidates may as well withdraw.
Isn't that interesting?
Does this mean that there has
been some pre-convent:on under
standings, and that machine pol
tics, bossism, etc, which were
'elegated to the ash-heap with
the apoption Of the Primary Law,
returned to Nebraska along with
the pre-primary convention?
Whom are you hold ng hands
with?
1 fail to see where the pre-pr1-
mary convention is any improve
nent in the existing election laws
Rather, 1 am inclined to bel eve
it is a menace. 1 shall have moth
ing to do with it.
Therefore, since you are chair
man of this convention, 1 request
that you see that my name is not
placed in nomination before the
convention, for either first or Enc
choice. I hereby release all dele
gates and alternates who have
promised me their support.
| Under the free Primary System
It is entirely up to the voters tc
lelect the candidates for the state
offices without suggestion of die
satorial preference, and 1 have de-
cided to abide by their decision re
CARELESS of what his convention
may do.
Respectively,
