The Waterbury Democrat., 1946-09-28

WASHINGTON, Sept. 2S-The Administration has decided to wait out what it considers the most effective and subtle political squeeze play the Repub lcanS have pulled far-the squeeze play on meat.
 That was behind Secretary of Agriculture Ander- sons radio broadcast from New Mexico announcing that meat prices would not be decontrolled. Ander- son, cattle raiser himself knows the inside of the cattle game and he also knows its politics
 He knows, among other things, that every big cattle rancher in the Far West is either Republican or conservative Democrat. He also knows that the feed-lot farmers of Iowa, Illinois, Kansas and the Middle West are now predominantly Republican As result, Anderson and other Administration leaders are convinced the squeeze is to keep cattle off markets until after the November elections or until Washington yels uncle" and removes OPA ceilings on meat.
 Ordinarily this is the time of year when cattle moves off the ranges to Eastern markets Grass be- gins to get scarce and ranchers can't proftably keep their cattle much longer In Montana winter temperatures fall to below freezing and the feeding of big herds all winter is financially hazardous.
 However, word which Agriculture Department ex- perts get from the cattle country is that big ranchers will keep just much stock hand as possible until after elections They will have to ship some but part will go to Midwest feed-ot farmers who fatten cattle grain, and who in view of the bumper corn crop should be able to hold cattle away from the packing plants at least until after election day.
 However, they will have to sci some tme and the Administration has decided that it can play the same waiting game as Republican cattlemen and farmers
 When it comes to pork, rather than beef the situation is somewhat different. Hog raisers have found they can't fatten hogs much longer than six months without losing money. hog increases in weight rapidly up to six months, after which he hits point of diminishing returns. So hog farmers won't hold back as long as the cattlemen.
 However, since there is serious shortage of pork it will take some time to make up the deficit and the housewife will still have a hard time buying bacon.
 All in all the beef and pork prospect doesn't look too brigh-at least until Winter Secretary Anderson figures that if cattlemen finally are convinced the Government will not decontrol meat, they will begin shipping shortly after elections But if they just hold off until after elections cattlemen hope they won't have to worry about the Truman Adminstra- tion's prce-control policies much longer.
 Hottest political question around Washington is: What will Henry Wallace do now?" The answer is to be found in series of backStage occurring immediately after he abruptly turned in his resigna tion-on request.
 Though unpublished, it was President Truman himself who sent out word last weekend that Wal lace was to make speeches under the auspices of the Democratic National Committee. That was why Bob Hannegan, Mayor Ed Kelly of Chicago, House Majority Leader John Mccormick and Democratic Congressional Campaign Chairman John Sparkman

Lest We Forget

Henry Waaces resignation from the Cabinet strength ened American foreign policy abroad but it also sharpened differences of opinion the subject here at home. This is clear from public reaction to the resignation and from Mr. Waace's statements
 Thus may expect that domestic debate on foreign policy will grow intensity before the November elections, and that bitter and eXravagant words will be spoken Those words not have immediate effect for egn policy but they certain to have effect those whose minds susceptible to the ransltory emotional stimuli of political campaign.
 So before things get any hotter, should like to offer
 few truths which hold to be seevdent for whatever good they may do Harry Truman and James F. Byrnes are humane earnest and welintentoned They are of the and consequences of Even now they working amidst they wreckage left by conflict and they imagine we'll anyone the appalling after math of another Their desires and efforts toward peace
 Henry A. Wallace is likewise humane, earnest we'll ntentioned His goal is not the surrender of American liberty or American institutions to Russia. His goal IS peace Arthur Vandenbeg and Tom Connay not blood thirsty scoundrels Herbert Hoover is Quaker and a pacifst John Foster Dulles is outstanding energetic lay worker of the Presbyterian Church. These not war-mongers.
 Sen Claude Pepper is example of a self-nade man in the best Horatio Ager tradition His result of his efforts in the rewardng environment of America His aim not to America satellite of the Soviet Union His aim is peace.
 All these are obvious remarks, but it may be well to bear them in mind For already the Truman Byrnes group accused of deliberately setting the road to war, while the Waace-Pepper contingent has been charged with active nefarous alliance with the Con- munists.

 Probably it would be well to accept the admirals panaton and lay the blame for the whole incident the fact that be subjecng of public figures to too much publicity This especially true in the of military men, whose lifetime absorption in the science of hasn't left them time to be experts thing under the
 It has become almost necessity for public figures to say something significant and arrestng only every speech but in every interview And perhaps of them let themselves in for too many of both Thus have weloved heroes like Admiral Hasey and the late General Patton take the edge off their deservdy high regulations with few thoughtless and nasty words.
 So maybe it would be well if of these public figures learned the value of the politicians esavng phrase No comment"even if it meant that had trife less copy for the paper the next day.

read Wallace out of the party Immediately the fire works started
 Democratic bigwigs from at least ten states bom- barded Wallaces office with pleas that he prop up their Shaky political chances with personal appear ances and speeches. In each case, Wallace and his adroit political adviser Harold Young referred calls to the Democratic National Committed.
 This in turn touched off bonfire at the feet of party leaders As state committeeman yelled for Wall lace Hannegan and Sparkman finally appealed to the White House. A quick calculation showed that the states which yelling loudes for Wallace had the not-to sneezed-at total of 474 delegates to the next Democratic convention-almost enough to nominate candidate for President
 That was why Truman yielded That was also why Hannegan and Sparkman both did neat flip flops issuing statements welcoming Wallace back as a speaker Result: Wallace will make ten speeches between Oct 15 and Nov in Pennsylvania, Indiana, Ohio, New York, New Jersey and Illinois.
 Wallace will not discuss the peace issue in these speeches But once the elections over, he's going to work the n-poicy question with vengeance. will write book on foreign policy plans to speak in every of the 48 states In the course of this tour, he will break down and analyze Truman policy and charge that it conflicts with Roosevelt policy.
 Naturally Wallace will encounter hundreds of important Democrats many of them delegates to the next Democratic convention Should his ideas catch on, there is question but that he will be candi- date in 1948
 NOTE-Wallace will not try his hand radio commentator, nor a columnist Though sometimes branded "starry-eyed dreamer" Wallace has plenty of money is making about $60000 yearly from hybrid which he developed many years ago.

Sittin' Waitin'

If you miss of these days and cant imagine where ook try the most sensitive shortwave anywhere around. Probably we'll be in front of it. listening for a broadcast from the Moon.
 We hardly wait until the Army gets that transmit ter by rocket to the sister planet We hope that security will not require the return broadcast to be in code We want
 rsthand reaction to that bright world into which the rocket is to be sent
 And hoping that the Man in the Moon with brutal candor will say into the Army mcrophone exactly what he thinks of what he has been watching this earth during the past few It might be deating but such objective opinion should do good.

Polish Ambassador Oscar Lange is entirely correct in saying that cooperation among Great Britain Russia and the United States is absolutely vital of the United Nations.
 Unfortunately that cooperation has been lacking up to The two Anglo-Saxon nations, the hand, and Russia the oher have entirely different ideas every step of the way toward the goal which all three undoubted ly sincerely seeking-universa, permanent peace.

 Revolt still sinners
 It has penetrated the thick armor of the boss and stirred some of the civic-conscious among the apathetic electorate to take look at it's acqueScence to machine rule. There is sensitvity here though not too widespread the continual talk of boss rule in Chicago which Republicans have empha- sized by linking it with the New Deal to make liberal Democratic elements cringe.
 The machine here, which has existed under vari- bosses of both parties since Chicago became big clustering city years ago. is like those elsewhere with it's quota of corruption It exists patronage there 3oOo0 to 10000 jobs in the city and county-and reaps profits sustain itself and the loyalty of its lieutenants by business thrown its way-insurance, contracts for all sorts of building materials and supplies including coal; and the lower forms of protection for liquor handbooks, and various rackets An investigation sometime ago revealed that about half of the war leaders in the insurance business

Republicans would like to capture enough county offices to give them start for campaign for the city next Spring The contin- ued apathy on both sides is disturbing the leaders, is indicated by current insistent demands upon party workers by both Mayor Kelly and Republican Governor Green to get out and stir things up

 And then, back in the political world you will find shortage of agreements upon national and international policies

Chicago Revolt Brewing 1y THon,as Stokes

CHICAGO, m.-One of the most interesting de- velopmentS politically out this way is that the seems to be slipping slightly askeW Mayor Ed Kelly boss of Chicago and Cook County for many years
 Republicans, as we'll as Independent and Progress sive Democrats with the gleam of civic reform in their eyes are encouraged more than in long time that they may toss out the machine in the municipal elections next Spring-f they can find dynamic crusader to carry the flag None has been found far
 This potential revolt is significant not only local ly, but nationally For it has been the Democratic majorties that Ed Kelly polls up with his hitherto efficient machine that have thrown the state during the New Deal years, into the Democratic column na- tionaly with handsome contribution of 28 electoral votes Two years ago, to the surprise of experts Cook County furnished the necessary majority to offset the heavy doWnstate Republican vote throwing the state to Franklin D. Roosevelt It may be recalled that MT. Roosevelt made one of his few campaign appearances here in one of Boss Kellys monster Roman circuSeS, the sort that Boss Frank Hague puts in Jersey City and Boss Ed Crump in Mem phis.
 Ed Kelly has been influential in Democratic national affairs His was powerful voice among the big city bosses which persuaded President Roosevelt to drop Henry Wallace as Presidential candidate in 1944-and thus made possible for Harry Truman to succeed to the White House. Now the boss is red along with National Chairman Bob Hannegan, about the oStracm of the depoSed Secretary Of Con- Democratic campaign speaker because the saunch New Dealer is needed out here to rally that element of the party. He had been billed for heavy duty in the state.
 Mayor Kelly stubbed his toe and opened himself up for frontal attack issue that always the citizenry regardless of party affaton That is public education 1nsstent agitation by newspapers and civic organizations finally turned the light

Vets Approve
Site Chosen
For Housing

The Silver Spring Post of Vet
Grams of Foreign Wars have gone
on record as com nending the
County Commissioners for "their
initiative in accomplishing the
first concrete steps toward allevi-
ating the inadequate housing of
county veterans" The organiza
ton also endorsed the selection
of the Sligo Valley Park site
which has come in for some crit
icism the past weeks.
E. Brooke Lee, chairman of the
County Housing Authority said
the site was chosen because it was
near transportation, recreation
facilities and hard roads and
could be made available in short
time. Cottages and apartments are
being offered on month-to-month
lease basis so that the veterans
need only occupy them while per-
manent and better housing contin-
ues unavailable. That the rent for
living room, kitchen and bath
apartments will be $25 per month;
for living room, one bedroom,
kitchen and bath, $50, and for
living room, two bedrooms, kitch-
en- and bath, $35. The Federal
Public Housing Authority has also
tentatively offered to provide fur
niture for some Of the housing
units. This furniture will cost an
additional rental of $3.50, $4.00
and $500 per month. Trailer units
will be available at monthly rent
ais of room $500 to $1,000 per
unit. The Federal law requires
that all of the temporary hous-
ing buildings be destroyed at the
end of their use for veterans
housing.
Friday was the first day that
a definite place was announced
in the newspapers at which vet
Grams could make application for
these living units and 80 men or
their wives applied at the Plan
ming Commission Office at $500
Colesville Road in Silver Spring.
When the Office opened at $3.50
Saturday morning, ID veterans or
their wives were in line and from
$3.50 to noon Saturday, 55 veter-
ans or their applied for living
quarters. More applications are be-
ing received daily.
