If elected to the city council it is my intention to support a progressive attitude in the gov- ernment of the city. It is my be- lief that the majority of the vot- CTS want and expect advance ment and improvements that can be had only through mutual ef- fort.
 The city council is the acting body that represents the people, makes plans and starts the ac' tion necessary to attain the ends that the people desire. Without a progressive body. representing you there will be no progress.

Mother Holding Own
After New Setback,
President Reports
By Joseph A. Fox

KANSAS CITY, May 27.-Mrs.
Martha Truman, 94-year-old mother
OF the President. was holding her
own this afternoon, according to
word relayed to newsnen by Presi-
dent Truman
Press Secretary Charles G. Ross
said the President told him Mrs.
Truman came out OF her setback of
last night in fairly good shape, and
was sleeping when they talked.
The setback, occurring after Mrs.
Truman had showed some improve
ment, was attributed to chill
Earlier this morning, when Presi-
dent Truman was leaving Kansas
City for his daily vigil at the Grand
view home where his mother has
been seriously i'll for 10 days, he had
told reporters that she had a bad
night" after temporary gain.
Another shipment of serum that
Is being used in treating Mrs. Tru-
man was flown in here this morning.
Secretary of the Treasury Snyder,
en- route from Arkansas, where he
made two speeches yesterday, to
Washington, stopped overnight in
Kansas City and had breakfast with
the President.
Mr.. Truman said he discussed the
financial situation of the Govern
ment" with Secretary Snyder. but
did not specify what phases of the
situation he took up with the cabinet
officer.

will have to be made.
Secret Service-Between 100 and
$50 jobs saved. A handful of dis
missals still necessary.
Post Office viii Save Many Jobs.
The Post Once Department,
which Jared rather well in the
House bill, said several hundred jobs
in Washington among administra-
tive personnel would be saved by
the Senate committees bill. No
other firings had been necessary
under the House measure.
In granting the Customs Bureau
a $l,500,0O0 increase in funds
Chairman Gordon of the Senate
Appropriations subcommittee on the
bill made 1t clear this action came
in spite of-and not a result Of
what he termed "reprehensible
pressure campaign"
Senator Gordon told reporters the
committee raised the customs funds
to $34 ,000, 600 for the year beginning
July / largely because it Is con-
vinced that some inspection offices
will have to be kept open "a hours
a day to accommodate international
air travellers.
In voting a SIS 600, 900 increase to
the Internal Revenue Bureau, the
committee apparently was con-
vinced by the argument of bureau
officials that a cut of $500 workers

agents, would deprive the Treasury
of hundreds of millions of dollars

In 1t he (al lashed out at Russia

lis delaying the rehabilitation of for
mer Axis nations and (b) outlined
a four point program to put the
German and japanese economies
back on their own feet in order to
lift some of the load from the
United States taxpayers.
Four Proposals Offered.
eve should wait no longer Rus
sia will not make war about it," he
wrote Mr.. Taber in proposing that
these things be done at once:
l. Abandon the policy of remov-
ing industrial plants which are
needed for the peacetime economy
of conquered nations. The value of
these plants as preparations is IAN
Illusion" he said, adding that the
Axis nations should pay in cash the
equivalent values of the plants ear
marked for removal.
2. Call a peace conference for
Japan and make a peace with her
by as many nations as wish to
adhere"
8. Abandon the "levels of indus
try" plan for Germany and Japan
and restrict only such industries
as shipping and aviation.
4. Put in effect a temporary CEN
tralized German government over
the American and British occupa-
ton zones. subject to United States
military direction.
Increased Burdens Feared.
Unless those 81 evolutionary
changes are made, Mr.. Hoover
wrote, "the burdens upon our tax
payers are not likely to lessen and
are more likely to increase"
THE reasons for continuous OBJ
|struction by Russia to every effort
which would restore production have
at least some expression in the Rus
sian press as a method by which
the United States can be bled white
by relief measures" Mr.. Hoover
wrote.
He said the alternatives to freeing
this country so far as possible from
the "htndrances" of other nations
are:
ITO wash our hands of the whole
business and then let the conquered
countries drag the whole world to
final chaos; or, for humanitarian
reasons, merely to carry these people
on a food subsistence level, hoping
for improvement in the attitudes of
other nations"
The former President said that
unless the full S725, 900 900 War De-
partment request is approved, mil

In computing the refunds. Mr.
Carr indicated that the company
had used a rate schedule based on
the 1914 rate order and filed with
the PUG in 1945. This was the
company's proposal at that time
for refunding s1,037, ,189 but was
never adopted because of the pend
ing court cases.
It is understood the company will
dispose of the credits to present ac-
tive consumers first. Then letters
will be sent to those entitled to re-
fund, but who are no longer Gus
toners, sent to their last address OF
record and including form to assist
in the preparation of the claim
for rebate.
Byron E. Harding, representing
the Bureau of Federal Supply of the
Treasury Department, raised the is
sue as to whether the company
should include in the refund inter-
ests on the amounts held in reserve
during the litigation.
