Commie Tactics
(Washington Post)

If confirmation were need of Walter Reuther's charge that his opposition in the United Automobile Workers is Communist-controlled the opposition has now supplied it. group styling itself the Com mitee for UAWCIO Progress and Unity" has emitted press release-to which it refers as suggestion editorial-strving to make capital of the silly gossip naively published by Drew Pearson that Sen- ator Taft wants MT Reuther his le48 running mate MT Reuther found it necessary to denounce this fam tastc idea when Mir Pearson first broadcast it, as canard planted by his opponents Their idea, appar- ently-So characerstically Communist to be dead giveway-was to link MT Reuther's name with that of the principal author of the Taft-Hartley law which is, of course, widely detested by organized labor.
 We appreciate the suggestion for editorial" of the press release What it suggests to is that MT Reuher up against opposition without honor or Scrupe or even good Here is an excerpt from the handout: Tt is curious fact that while loud words of protest issued from the Reuher propaganda mills. single word of protest and not single disclaimer came from the GOP-party of the Tafts, the Hartleys, the Hoovers and-who knows-maybe the Reuthers.' No of course, would expect a protest or disclaimer from the COP which is not in the business of protecting MT. Reuthers reputation from islander.
 The Progress and Unity boys of the CIO hit even farther below the belt MT Reuther has been guilty of advocating that his union abide by the terms of congressionally enacted statute We can't forget" they declam in their press release that it was Reuth CT who, head of the General Motors department, sabotaged the Cadillac Square demonstration against the Taft-Hartley Act. We can't forget that it is Reuther who stands for compliance with the new Taft-Hartley Employers Relations Board These are things We can't forget. And because can't forget them, can't dismiss the Taft-Reuther story as too fantastic. It's all so logical
 Well, we hope the rank and file of the JAW can't forget that this is the kind of stuff the Com mics have been pulling every labor leader who has refused to follow their alien line. MT. Reuther can thank his enemies for undressing themselves in public and for proving his point about them so logically

TRUMAN SORE AT STEEL
 IORRY

President Truman strongly sus- poets that the big steel companies may have a hand in the notorious gray market" where steel is now selling for double and triple the list price to manufacturers. In fact, he is burned up about it.
 The President tells advisers that the steel companies could stop gray market" operations in min ute if they really wanted to.
 Meantime, one of the biggest steel Hobbies in history has been pressuring Government agencies, including the White House, trying to exempt steel from the controls which the President recommended to Congress.
 On top of hiking the price of steel out of sight the steel boys want to be exempted from taking the consequences of their profiteer- ing
 Note-The big steel companies have clipped bigger dividends this year than at any other time in his tory.

PUTTING CUNGRE5G IN ITS
 PLACE

A bill to overhaul the oX-cart procedure of Congressional hear ings will be introduced shortly af- ter the opening of the regular ses- sion of Congress in January by Rep Francis Walter of Pennsyl- vania, Democrat.
 Congressman Walter, an out standing authority on administrar tive law and procedure, is drafting the legislation at the request of leading newspaper editors, who are disturbed about threats to civil li- bertles in Congressional investiga- tions Also many Congressman themselves are worried over the disrepute Congress is receiving as a result of it's roughshod system of Congressional hearings. aar
 Aimed primarily at the house Un-American Activities Committee, the Walter Bill will deal with all phases of hearing procedure, in- cluding how far a committee can go in questioning witnesses about their private affairs.

SENATOR BUTLER SPEAKS OUT

Senator Butler of Nebraska, who visited Alaska q few months ago and who has been taking keen interest in Alaskan affairs may give Indian attorney James Curry some trouble in the latters plan to knock a proposed pulp and paper mill industry for Alaska in the head
 Curry, as representative legal for the Haida and Tlingit Indians who claim they own certain tlmoer lands in Tongass National Forest has made deal with New York corporation to sell this timber ana has written to pulp and paper companies known tc be investigating Alaskan pulp prospects offering to sell them and warning them not to buy the timber from the government.
 Senator Butler who is chairman of the powerful Senate Public Lands Committee, has announced that his committee will launch investigation of the whole deal Senator Butler wants to know what right any group in Alaska thinks it has to sell the natural resources of any in Alaska simply be- cause they their ancestors might have lived m or near the area
 If is also worthy of note to that Secretary of the Interior Julius A. Krug announced that he wi not support the Indians in their ridiculous claims Had former Secretary Harold L. Ickes still been in the saddle the claims probably would nave been pro- cessed by the department.
 It is quite certain that Curry will not get very far in supporting his stand, but he may be able to foul things up long enough to lose Alaska another chance to get the pulp and paper industry started
 At any rate, it looks if Alaska has another good friend in Senator Butler and will be anxious to see what his committees investigation reveals con- corning the Timber Development Corporation of New York; the willing to pay the Indians $200OO, coo timber which they have no authority to sell

 Basic causes for the housing shortage are:
 l.-The population jumped l3 million during the war, and while the population increased, war pri- o"it.es kept homebuilding almost at s standstill
 2-The real-estate trade is not fuild!ng for the rental market where the most critical need exists but in order to sell. Yet the av- craze renter has more money to spend, and is bidding for more space
 3.-Construction costs are high, caused by shortages of materials and skilled labor The chief bot Llenecks are cast-iron soil pipe nalis and lumber
