ctivities in Society
By Betty Beale

The President Of the United
States, along with just about every
body who's anybody in the Govern
ment, was at Speaker Sam Rayburn S
party at the Carlton Hotel yesterday
afternoon. The Speakers parties
are always that way; if he ever gave
one during office hours, the Nation s
progress would probably come to a
standstlll. There were about 600
guests in the Carlton Room, includ-
ing most of the national leaders
in town.
The collective brilliance of this
party, from the point of view OF
prominent persons, was positively
dazzling. The President. who ar
rived alone at $50, was talking to
Secretary of the Treasury and Mrs.
Snyder, and one wondered if he was
telling about his plans to spend the
week end at his place, Shangri-L
in Maryland. Gen. and Mrs. Dwight
D. Eisenhower were having a word
with the Secretary of War, Mr.. Rob-
ert P. Patterson, who has been going
up to his farm in Upstate New York
to Join Mrs. Patterson every week
end.
Admiral and Mrs. Chester w
Nlmltz greeted Gen. and Mrs. Alex
ander A. Vandegrift, while the Sec
retary of Commerce, Mr.. Henry A
Wallace, moved from one group OF
friends to another. Others from the
cabinet circle present were the
Secretary of the Interior and Mrs
julius A. Krug, Secretary of Agri-
culture and Mrs. Clinton P Ander-
son, Secretary of Labor. Mr. Lewis
B. SchWellenbach, and Acting Sec
retary of State and Mrs. Dean
Acheson.
OPA Administrator and Mrs. Pau
Porter were there and Admiral
William D. Leahy, Vice Admiral anC
Mrs. Ben Moreell, and from the
Army ranks came Gen. and Mrs
Mark Clark and 1t. Gen and Mrs
Ira c. Eaker. The only member
of the Supreme Court glimpsed was
Justice Hugo Black. Others on hand
were the Undersecretary of the
Navy and Mrs. John L. Sullivan and
the Undersecretary of the Interior
and Mrs. Oscar Chapman.
Most of the Democratic members
OF the House were enjoying the
Speakers hospitality, and, of course,
the Texas delegation was there in
full force. Representative and Mrs.
r. Ewing Thomason were present
and Representative and Mrs. Albert
Thomas, Representative and Mrs.

The advantages and obligations are not being accomplished Federal statistics indicate that while prior to day the number of placements Of disabled war veterans approximately equaed the number of app eans their placements have since declined. heavy de- crease in placements has occurred compared With the SUD- stantial increase in the number of applicants

More Strange Bedfellows

Incredible though it seems MT. Alfred M Landon and Vyacheslav M. Moiotov apparent agreement on of international policy Both opposed to de- centralized agrarianiZed Germany.
 Last February MT Landon made speech in which he denounced the iniqutos Morgenhau plan for defeated Germany which called for decenraized government and sn agrarian economy Now Mr. Mooov in presenting Rus sas plan for Germany has rejected such setup although he didn't such blunt words mention MT. Morgenthaus name.
 This brief moment of accord may be coincidence and only guess at the behind it. MT. Landon may been thinking only of domestic politics de- nancation But he also have in lndustrazed and united Germany buffer against Communist expansion Mir. Molotov also view strong Germany buffer Enough, naturally against different of encroachment
 Rnssias shift to Mir. Landons way of thinking Gf 1t be expressed thus) is rather recent EarlRr 1t ap- peared that Russia favored decenrazed Germany What caused the change only be guessed at.
 Preparations may have something to do with the off Eif Russian policy Germany Russia suffered deep eco homie wounds at the Naz invaders hands. They will be slow to heal Certainly she deserves reparatlonS and territory which she has taken for herself and close associate, Poland.
 Yet recently Russia mentioned the of S10000000,- poo for further reparatons If such should be fixed for payment Germany and other sufferers from Naz should demand and be awarded comparable amounts industriazed Germany with large foreign trade would be indispensable though such demands would probably be runous to Germany agrarian economy.
 As for unifcaon, experience thus far seems to have proved Mir. Landon and Mr. Molotov right. At least the arrangement of German occupation and control hasn't been Russia have less fnr complaint than the other powers
 None of the has been entirely sefsufcient And been of trouble and least the western Allies If occupation is to continue long period likely, centralized administration of the whole sY is the most logical arrangement.

Another OPA Report

WASHINGTON July lS- (NEAJ President Harry $. flor Stubborn) Truman is prepared to veto another unsatisfactory price control bill, if that's what Congress hands him again. But President Tru- still hopes that Congress will send him a satis- factory price-control bill that he sign.
 These two conclusions unacceptable to anyone who reads the quarterly report just sent the Pres dent and Congress by Director of War Mobilization and Reconversion John R, Steelman. Every section dwels the dangers of imitation and the need for continued economic controls. Like the Presidents OPA veto message, the report needles Congress for action only in the direction in which the President wants to go
 Of course, the President didn't write this report. Neither did Assistant President Steelman. AS mat ter of fact, the report incorporates number of ideas which Dr. Steelman didn't have few weeks ago
 The report was originally drafted by of the bright young men in overnment-economlsts and ghosts. It prepared for John w. Snyder to sign. Snyder approved it, but then he made Sec retary of the Treasury the report was signed by Steeman his successor and director of OWMR. And the President put out statement endorsing it in full
 So the responsibility for this document belongs to the economic high command of Truman, Snyder, and Steelman, if it written by the afore- mentioned B.Y.M.
 The report really constitutes an interim message to Congress the state of the nation. Steelman, n his letter of transtal to the President and Con- gress says the report should be called "The Cross roads, Somehow, the country always to be on that spot
 We must choose now it says whether we shall move forward through the final stages of re- conversion with effective price and wage controls at time when supply and demand are radically out o6 balance"

nave ground very slowly It is not demands and in- must go through all the checks and balances in our system.
 Nothing has been enacted into law in the last seven eight years with exception. that intro- exception was the so-caled Full Employment" Act, which very much modified in the end. It is, in fact little than elaboration of pet idea of Herbert Hoover's which to plan for public works in advance for possible depression. Ous measures recommended by President Truman. None of them depart from basic statutes already on the books. They extensions elaborationS of principles long accepted They include: An increase in the minimum wage adopted a principle eight years ago; expansion Of social security accepted II years ago. to embrace classes of workers not now included; national health bill, which is phase of social security; longrange housing program Spon- sored among others, by Senator Taft (R. Ohio) which uses principle approved many years ago by Con- greSS.
 But there are certain powerful interests which complain about socialism Communism" in these If they are then Congress has been Socialistic or CommuniStic long time, and to say that is to bring big hollow laugh.
 While this charge is raised as smoke-screen, those who raise it have been busy coverty to break down long established principles in aws-to weaken public power acts; exempt insurance companies and railroads from the antitrust laws to mention a few.
 It is well to remember these things so as not to be fooled by the noisy outcry.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1946-07-18
by Peter EdSon

More interesting than that, however the report reveals that Harry Truman has yielded one speck in his determination have workable price-con trol bill that will prevent inflation
 Under direct questioning at his press conference when the report released the President refused to commit himself what he would do with the new OPA bill Congress is preparing, because it is changing every five minutes And when he asked about reports that he would call and keep Congress in special session till he got what he wanted, the President said he hadn't heard of that one.
 But as to what the President considers a work able bil the specifications set forth clearly in the Steelman Crossroads Report
 1. It must actually control prices preventing unnecessary price increases and permitting price n creases necessary to stimulate production of items in short supply
 2 It must be administrable and enforceable. law that would control prices industry by industry, with cost absorption where necessary, Is considered administrable A law that would require the govern ment to study and pass the profit earned by every business every item it handled is considered un administrable and unenforceable
 B. The law must be flexible SO that it's appca- ton changes as the supply demand balance changes It is today considered virtually impossible to find any important product that is in supply demand bal That is mentioned to show the need for con- tnued controls
 Decontrol machinery, proposed by Congress however, is accepted by the President. In this respect only the President indicated he is willing to compromise with the Congress on OPA
 Whether or not the President can get price-con- trol-eXtension law incorporating these principles is a question. At present writing, it almost i'm possible But the President has shown himself to be hopeful fellow, confident that everything is going to turn out all right.
 "All right means the way he wants it. Maybe so.
