Auto Output
From the Reno Evening Gszett.

from the Keno Evening Gazette.
Cheer up, you would-be purchasers
OF automobiles! American automobile
production the last week of May totaled
33,387 units-both passenger vehicles
and trucks.
AT that rate 1t would require only
half century to produce as many cars
and trucks rs have been turned out
from 1900 to May 81, 1916. That 46
year production total was 87203, ,730
cars and trucks, according to an an
nouncement made at the Automotive
Golden Jubilee in Detroit last week.
OF course, the American automotive
industry didn't really "get going" dur
ing the first two decades of the century.
Only 4,192 cars and trucks were pro-
duced in 1900 and it wasn't until 1915
that total production even approached
million cars year. The problem
early in the century was perfecting
methods Of mass production through
assembly lines. The problem now is
keeping workers on the job The low
production the last week Of May was
largely attributed to material shortages
resulting from strikes in supplier plants.

Where Is the Solution?

Unless the Americans and British are
to go on subsidizing Germany they
must stop their nonsense and adopt
the same policy as the Russians-make
the best of their zones until there can
be full cooperation (on a more rational
basis than the Potsdam crudities) in
the reconstruction of democratic Ger
many. lonal division is not a solution
which anybody would choose if there
were workable alternative. The in
dustries of the Russian zone need the
products Of the Ruhr just as much as
the people Of the Ruhr need the surplus
food OF the Russian zone. Germany
Is unity which cannot without i'm
mense impoverishment and political un-
rest be carved into two hostile areas
But 1t Is for the Russians to decide:
there is nothing more the west can do

the line of the Elbe they may do So
but they must not object If in self
Interest the border of the west pushes
out to meet it. 1t is hard to believe
that they will provoke such a solution:

This Changing World
By Constantine Broscu

Foreign observers in Washington are
looking to Sundays elections in Turkey
with more than the usual amount of
interest because they may provide a key
as to whether the highly uncertain con-
ditions in Turkey will remain for some
time to come.
The Peoples Republican party, whose
leader is President Ismet Inonu, is now
in power, as it has been since the new
Turkey" was born more than 20 years
ago. The chief opposition group, the
Democratic party, is making it's first
bid for control of the government since
the existence of other political parties
than the Republicans was permitted at
the end of last year.
According to dispatches reaching this
country, there is little to choose between
the two rival groups, as far as policies
are concerned-they both have adopted
the foreign policy line. And that line
at the moment Is the chief thought in
the minds of the Turkish people For
eign policy In Turkey, whether of the
governing party or of the opposition,
Is dominated by fear of Soviet Russia.
On the outcome of tomorroW's vote
hinges an important question concern
Ing Russia. Reports from Ankara say
that the Democrats, because of their
strong position on domestic and foreign
affairs, would be Endorsed by Kemal
Ataturk, president of Turkey, who died
in 1888. 1t is to be remembered that
Ataturk was violently -Communis-
tic, although his government maintained
friendly relations with the Soviet during
his regime. Whether Ataturks position
would be as mild" today as it was 10
years ago is open to discussion, in view
of Russia's increasing demands on Tur-
key.

Unhappy Augury

The possibility of an American
loan to Russia seems to have grown
more remote than ever. At his press
conference the other day, President
Truman as much as said that the
whole subject had been placed in
the inactive file, with little likelihood
OF its being brought up again for
some time to come. The background
of the situation Is not a particularly
happy one. Originally Moscow sug-
gested that it would like to nego-
tiate with us for a billion dollar
credit, but the record of the request
was "lost" for months. Then, early
this year, Secretary Byrnes sent the
Russians note declaring our readi-
ness to start talking business, but
this has so far elected no reply but
complete silence, probably because
the Soviet Union does not like GER
tain of the conditions our negotiators
would want to discuss.
AS authoritatively reported some
time ago, the loan. If advanced,
would not be like the one to Britain.
1t would be handled through the
Export-Import Bank, and 1t would
run for a shorter term at a higher
interest rate. In addition, it would
embrace conditions aimed at win
ming a greater measure of co-opera-
tion from Moscow-perhaps at get
ting it to agree to become an active
member of the International Bank
and Monetary Fund and to take part
in the projected world conference on
the mutual lowering of tariff bar
riers. These would be proper points

The Political Mill
By Gould Lincoln

President Truman laid the grounds for
political battle in the August Mis-
souri, primary, which will hold the at
tentlon OF the country, when he set out
TO butcher Representative Slaughter, a
Missouri Democrat, seeking renomina-
ton. In a measure this attempt to
purge" Mr.. Slaughter is a personal
matter between the President and Mr..
Slaughter-an animosity on the part of
the President against member of the
House Rules Committee who has helped
to block some of the Truman legislative
proposals.
On the outcome of the primary will
depend to some degree Mr.. Truman's
prestige in his own home State, as well
as In the country. For this reason it
may be expected that the administration
will go the limit to defeat the recalci-
trant Mr. Slaughter.
In the same press conference at
which Mr.. Truman announced his in
tention OF trying to unseat Mr. Slaugh-
ter, the President said he planned, if
necessary to campaign for Democratic
candidates in the coming congressional
election. This is large and unusual
order for President in an of year"
election. If Mr.. Truman actually goes
through with such personal campaign,
1t will be taken as an indication that
the White House Is really frightened
over the political situation.
No President has gone stumping for
his party candidates in an off year
election-and it scarcely seems likely
that Mr.. Truman will actually take to
the road-though he may make radio
speech or two, urging the election of
Democratic House and Senate.

The late President Roosevelt, in 1888,
undertook to purge" number of Demo-
cratic SenatorS-including George OF
Georgia, Tydings of Maryland and
Smith of South Carolina-and former
Representative O'Connor of New York,
who at that time was chairman of the
House Rules Committee and a thorn in
the side of the administration. The
President did get the scalp Of Mr..
O'Connor, but he failed utterly to de-
feat for denomination any of the Sen
ators for whom he gunned In that

Atomic filters at Capitol
By George Fielding Eliot

The opposition to the Mcmahon
atomic energy bill, as voiced in the
House of Representatives during We'd
neSday's debate, is interesting Most
of 1t seems to center around a certain
nervousness. Many members do not
quite know what the consequences of
their actions will be-the subject is
too little understood, the future is too
uncertain, the possible results of error
too appalling. The tendency is there
fore toward the time-honored refuge
of democracy in a JAM Let the Army
do it.
This writer is quite sure that the
Army would do its best, as it has al
ways done under whatever unreason-
able burden that has been loaded on
its patient shoulders. 1t flew the mail,
and killed its pilots. 1t organized the
CCC to help out on unemployment, and
all but ruined its ability to defend the

competence extends. But it should not

Atomic policy affects the interests
of US all, the safety of us all, the future
of us all. Policy on this level is a
matter for civilian decision, with mill

being given due consideration. This is

tradition, these risks, are just what

Cheaper Electricity in 1914

The Court of Appeals decision in
the Pepco rate case is another VIC
tory for the Public Utilities Com
mission and it means another re-
duction in rates for electricity.
That is all to the good. But until
the judges can get around to writ
ing their opinions-and there are
at least four of them coming up
the price of electricity as of March
!, 1914, still remains to be de-
termined. When it is determined,
in the form of rate schedules, the
company must begin computing
credits or refunds on electric light
bills since March Of 1914 for some
100000 residential consumers and
over $4,000 commercial consumers.
In the meantime, the commission
will have to establish fair rates for
the ensuing years of 1945 and 1916
held up during the long court fight.
All of which writes a new COM
mentary on the dubious blessings of
litigation, which in this case fol-
lowed the commissions decision, in
the spring of 1914, to reduce the
company'S rate base by eliminating
the remainder of an excess, over
original cost, which it's engineers
had determined and by disallowing
depreciation reserves as a part of
the rate structure. Furthermore,
the commission reduced the rate of
return to SIS per cent from the pre-
vious per cent. The company took
the case to court, losing in the Dis
trict Court, and, this week, in the
Court of Appeals 1t apparently
would have been better off had it
accepted the commissions findings
in the first place.
The Government, as represented
by its attorneys in the Treasury
Departments procurement office,
contributed considerable amount of
noise-but little else-by its aggres-
sive intervention as consumer of
electricity, in which it sought to
discredit the sliding scale arrange
ment by new concept of it's own
as to how it should have worked
from the beginning in 1924. The
Government also wanted it's own
rate reduction, regardless of what
the ordinary consumer might get.
The Government also lost its case
in District Court and in the Court
of Appeals. Only the Public Utili-
ties Commission seems to have come
through unscathed.
The sliding-scale method of an
nual rate adjustment was devised
originally to avoid this mares nest
Of litigation. Under it the company
has continued to make money and
the rate for electricity has been re-
duced from one of the highest to one
of the lowest in the country The
company's rate of return, in the
meantime, has been cut from rs per
cent to the SIS per cent just upheld
by the Court of Appeals. When
the mess in the wake of litigation
has been cleared up, the orderly
process of rate making through the
sliding scale should be resumed. The
Public Utilities Commission has
shown itself to be fair and competent
