RAPIDO RIVER WHITEWASH

When Senator Tom Connally re- turns from Paris, he will probably hit the ceiling when he discovers that the Senate Military Affairs Committee approved the nomina- ton of Mark Clark to be per- .manent major general without hearing from single 'eyeball wit ness" regarding the Rapido River disaster Other senators, while not entirely supporting Connally, are glad he made the move.
 TfClark's nomination, pending with those of 35 other general officers, brought Connally before the Com mittee along with Texas members of the badly-mutilate6 36th Divi- zion which tried to storm the swift flowing Italian river.
 eA When Committee Chairman FL bert Thomas of Utah promised a full report on the incident from the War Department before a vote was taken on Clark's promotion, Senator Connally objected.
 You know what you'll get from the War Department. A white wash!" he sneered. Why don't you call some eyeball witnesses?"
 Connally proved to be absolutely right. Subsequently, Major General Wilton Persons, legislative liaison officer, reported to the Military Affairs Committee on the Rapido crossing, explaining that although costly operation and not success ful in opening the way to gen. eral advance beyond the river, it had actually succeeded in its main purpose-namely, drawing German strength from the Anzio beachhead.
 Were it not for the diversion cre- ated by the 36th Division, Per- sons said. there was grave danger that the Anzio landing might have

The idea of paratroop invasion is neither new nor, as have supposed particularly Russian. Benjamin Franklin, January 16 1784 wrote: Five thousand balloons, capable of raising two each could not cost than five ships of the line and where is the prince who afford to cover his country with troops for its defense that 10000 descending from the clouds might not in many places do an infinite deal of mischief before force could be brought together to repeal them?"

SENATOR HART DEFENDS
 CLARK

Here Chairman. Thomas recalled that the Carthaginian General Hannibal, had gone over the Alps in order to conquer Italy from the north, rather than trying to work his way up the peninsula.
 General Persons explained that no "eyeball witnesses" were avail able at this time, urging that the Committee reach an early decision on the pending promotion of Gen. eral Clark and the 35 other gen. erals. Senator Chan Gurney of South Dakota was ready to object to any move to consider the pro- motion nominations separately ra- ther than in a slate" so no one proposed approving the 35 nomin- ations and delaying the Clark pro- motion.
 Actually, no one had any serious objection to the Clark promotion any how. Ex-Admiral, now Senator Tommy Hart of Connecticut urged immediate approval on the grounds that it would be a boost to Clark's prestige in his dealings with the Russians in Vienna. Thomas of Utah seconded him.
 EX-Admiral Hart, who at one time faced possible Naval court martial for alleged naval unpre- paredness at Manila, remarked:
 Even though there might be some justice to the charges against him because of the Rapido River disaster-and I'm not saying that I do or do not agree that his judgment was poor-I can certainly defend him and fully believe that he merits promotion on the basis of his overall war record
 Finally, the entire promotion list was approved without objection.
 Many Senators, while not be- lieving in penalizing General Clark do feel, however, that Senator Con- nally has rendered the country a service in demanding that military mistakes should be subject to close scrutiny after war is over. Other- wise there is no way to avoid fu- .ure mistakes. The Army, on the other hand, is pulling all sorts of wires to avoid examination of mis- takes. Among other things they dent want to open up the tragic

BUSINESS AFFAIRS

BUSINESS AFFAIRS
 Chain stores once more will be- come a popular topic as goods flow back to the shelves of retail stores throughout the country. The main effort of the alert independent will not be to resist the spread and activities of chains, but to discov- CT means of competition. Friend ly, helpful service is sometimes in greater demand than are low prices.
 NATIONAL ISSUES
 The earning power of money is lower in this country today than ever before and probably will go lower still. Those with money to in- vest find it hardly worth while to put their money to work, unless they are willing to run the risks of speculation.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS
 Regardless of how confusing the present picture may be, disarm- ament program will get under way within a few years. With the war just over and the atomic bomb creating international uneasiness, it lis no more than natural that peacetime forces should be greater than ever before. But this period Iof tension will pass in time and armaments will be greatly reduc- ed

that he was terribly shocked"
at news of the electrical settle

suited the UAW before signing
the new agreement.

Bowles Pledges
No Re+reo+'

WASHINGTON, Feb. 10 -
(LPA) - "There will be no re-
treat to new line on prices and
rents" newly appointed Econ
omic Sterilization director Ches-
ter Bowles insisted in his first
meeting with the press after
President Truman's announce
ment.
Refusing repeatedly to an
swer questions about the ef-
feet of the orders on steel, meat,
auto, and other industries where
industry-wide disputes over
wages and prices are now in
progress, Bowles did say that
only in metal-using industries
did he think that wage raises
would have a substantial effect
on consumers's prices.
He admitted that the major
ity Of industries could absorb
wage increases, rather than
passing them on to consumers.
Bowles On Initiation
Lets get it Enthusiastically
clear" Bowles said, that all
out production is the only an
swer TO initiation. But let's get it
equally clear that initiation Is
not the answer TO production.
Price adjustments can be used
only as last resort.N
Clearly Congress intended
that the End War Powers Act be
vigorously used wherever le-
ceSsary to maintain balance and
to stimulate the flow of goods. "
Bowles paid high tribute to
his successor as head of OPA,
Paul A. Porter.

must not be allowed to spread
further.
Another order is to follow,
Truman said, on the exact pow
ers which Bowles will have in
his new job. Major issue is
whether or not Bowles' orders
can be vetoed by Snyder.
Truman States
Truman, in stating the reasons
for his new orders, said:
"It is imperative that produc-
ton in great volume be accom-
plished. We face real difficult
ties. Many workers have found
their weekly pay greatly re-
duced. Many companies, squeez-
ed between costs and prices, are
no. in a position to wait through
a six months period as hereto
fore required before seeking
price adjustments.
Authorize Wage Increases
"I am modifying our wage
price policy to permit wage in
creases within certain limits and
to permit any industry placed in
a hardship position by an ap-
proved increase to seek price
adjustment without waiting un-
til the end of six months test
period, as previously required
II am authorizing the Natl
Wage Sterilization Board to
approve any wage or salary in
crease or part thereof, which is
found to be CONSTANT with the
general pattern Of wage or sal
ary adjustments established in
the industry or local labor mar
ket area since Aug. 18, 1945
Where there is no such general
pattern, provision is made fol-
the approval of increases found
necessary to eliminate gross in
equities as between related in
dutsrieS, plants, or of classifica'
tions, or to correct substandards
of living or to correct disparities
between the increase in wage OF
salary since Jan. 1941, and the
increase in the cost of living be-
tween that date and September
1945."
Speaking directly contrary to
the views of Snyder and Civilian
Production Administrator John
Small, Truman stated that "pri-
critics and ALLEGATIONS powers
will be used vigorously where
ever necessary to prevent in
creases in prices. There will be
strict enforcement of inven-
tory controls. The resources OF
the Treasury and Judistice De-
partments will be called upon
when necessary to assist in en-
forcing these controls"
Turns To Congress
Turning his attention TO Con,
gress, Truman went on II trust
that the Congress will: Cd ex.
tend the stabilization statute:
without amendment and will dc
so with all possible speed so tha'
there may be no question ir
