Ball Declares Truman
.Misrepresen|led Taft 5
Views in Accusation
BY the Assoeiutsd Press

Senator Ball, Republican, OF
Minnesota contended today that
president Truman .misrepre-
scented the viewpoint" of Senator
Taft in accusing the Ohio Re-
publican of following a boom
and bust" economic theory.
Senator Ball defended his col.
league on the Senate House Eco
nonic Committee while Senator
Taft took time to prepare formal
reply to the Presidents criticism
at White House news conference
yesterday.
Reopening a word battle that
ragged between the two over price
tcontrols last year, Mr.. Truman said
! In a statement that Senator Taft
has said "the only way to bring
prices down is to reduce the demand
| for goods" IS
Senator Ball said he never had
heard Senator Taft voice such a
view.
Truman Reports Results.
"The President has misrepre-
scented Senator Taft's attitude, the
Minnesota Senator told a reporter.
Il know he has always advocated
increased production as means of
lowering prices. He has said, and
I have agreed with him, that gen.
Ieral wage increases which have
been allowed have eliminated much
chance of any lowering of prices"
Senator Taft has said several
times that he agrees with MI. Tru-
man that prices ought to come
down. But he asserted in an inter-
view earlier this week that "appar-
entity the President and the admin
istration are abandoning talk of
keeping prices down in favor of
heavy spending abroad that will
keen them up"
Mr., Truman made It emphati-
cally that his interest in voluntary
price reductions is undiminished.
!! He said that while the drive has
not gone far enough, 1t has already
yielded substantial results"
He quoted Bureau of Labor Sta
tistics to show that on May 81
weekly wholesale prices of all COM
modities had declined per cent
from their peak, that farm products
were down So per cent from their
highest level and that foods were
down 81 per cent.
Vigorous Action Favored.
Mr. Truman made a point of
Senator Taft's linking prices to
spending abroad, declaring "the fact
that necessary foreign aid programs
add to our economic problems at
home makes it all the more i'm
portant that we handle these
domestic problems with vigor and
common sense
Senator Ball said it is his view
that foreign aid programs increase
the demand for goods here and thus
affect prices, despite export
controls.
Senator Tafts personal reply to
Mr.. Truman is expected to focus
new attention on the different eco
nomic viewpoints they have en-
braced in the past.
Mr.. Truman alluded in his state
ment to the Governments "vitally
necessary loan and expenditure pro-
grams Some in Congress won
dered whether this indicated pos
sible presidential approval of the ex-
tended foreign-aid program in the
next Congress.

II. S Russian treaty
is Needed BY World
Wallace Declares
sy shs Assoeru,sd Press

sALEIGH, N. c., June g. Henry
A. Wallace said In a speech here
last night that what the world
needs is peace treaty between the
United States and Russia"
He said all other peace treaties,
..if they are to mean anything
really, wait on American-Rus
understanding
The former Vice President, speak
ing at Memorial Auditorium here
under the auspices of the North
Carolina Committee of the South
ern Conference for Human Welfare,
said in his first speech Of a South
ern tour:
Eve shall never have really firm
understanding until American cap
italism demonstrates its ability to
get along without violent depres-
sion and Soviet Communism DEM
onstrates its ability to furnish the
basic freedoms"
Mr.. Wallace said the Truman doc
trine Of furnishing aid to nations
opposed to Communism is strength
ening Communism, not capitalism"
and in the three months since the
doctrine was announced swe have
moved perilous distance on the
road to eventual war;
He said he felt that Russia and
the United States have both over
played their hands and that both
are beginning to get tired of the
worldwide mess they have created
with their mutual suspicion"
Mr.. Wallace said that the "Repub-
licans under Vanderberg are sab
otaging real peace even more de-
structively today than they did
under Lodge a generation, ago. In
1920 and 1921 the Republicans
killed all that Wilson stood for.
Today they are trying to kill all
that Roosevelt stood for. The only
possible reward of their efforts will
be depression and war"

The chief executive said he,

Book Review
THERE WAS ONCE A

THERE WAS ONCE A
 SLAVE by Shirley Graham
 Shirley Graham's prize win
 ling biography of Frederick Douglass, the great 18th cen tury American Negro, who was born slave and died a hero, revered by both white and colored Americans, is written with simplicity and great feeling. This biography, which won the Julian Mess ner award for the best book to combat intolerance in Amer ica, is remarkable in many ways and this reviewer feels that few books he has read on this subject so feelingly and sympathetically portray a character - a man who gave his life for the freedom of his people.
 Frederick Douglass (his sur name he took later in life) was born in the second decade of the 18th century slave. He never knew his father and he had very vague recollec- tions of his mother. At an early age he was the colored playmate and servant of a little white boy in Baltimore :; and it was at this time, that he first learned to read and love books with his white playmate. This happy situa- tion did not last long however, for he was soon sent to man

After enduring un- speakable hardships and cruel ty, he was returned to Balti- more and there worked at odd jobs. managed to find time to read, and met Anna who later became his wife. Now he was fully determined to help his people and felt that he must escape to the North and free dom, which he eventually did. Later Anna followed him to the North and there they were married.
 Their first home was in New Bedford among the |Quakers. and it was at this time on the nearby island of Nantucket that he first met William Lloyd Garrison in the summer of 1841 at the con- vention of the Anti-Slavery Society. It was here that Gar rison asked Douglass to de vote his life to the cause.
 We cannot go into detail as to the subsequent events of this remarkable life, his trips abroad, his friendship with the great anti-slavery men and women of his time, his devo- ton to Lincoln during the Civil War, his sadness during the horrors of the Reconstruc- ton period, his constant writ ing and featuring, and finally his appointment as United States Marshall to the District of Columbia, and Recorder of Deeds, and then the greatest triumph of all. his appoint ment as Minister to Haiti. We must be satisfied to say that this mans life was remarkable and heroic inall it's aspects.
 He died in the last decade of the 18th century, mourned and revered by many and re- spected by all. ....

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

March 29, 1947 Senator Charles House
 Chairman Judiciary Committee State Capitol
 Hartford, Conn.
 Dear Senator House:
 May 1 request that you raise in committee a bill which will forbid the sale and leasing of real estate with restrictive covenants pertaining to nation ality, color and religious belief. The bill also should invalidate all such restrictive covenants already in existence.
 It would seem to be sound public policy to legislate against, such an un-American practice. Yet without legisla- tive enactment many courts have been helpless and have been forced to be unwilling protectors of this shameful practice.
 Real estate deals are public records transcribed for poster ity in the record rooms of all the towns of our State. It is rather appalling to realize that our Town Clerks are unwilling tools in transcribing prejudices on record, and are thus pro- claiming by such governmental publication not only the Jevil deed, but also immunity against the world for such prejudices.
 Unfortunately, deeds con- taining such restrictive cove nants spot the records of many of our towns. For example, in a nearby town will be found a covenant, restricting sale of property ''to only non-semitic members of the Caucasian race. The vendors of this particular tract also warrant that like restrictions will be imposed on all other purchas- CTS of lots within the entire tract.
 It is my belief that bill in
Hartford chronicle., 1947-04-12

validating such restrictive cov- enants is constitutional, both because in general, all restric- tive covenants are drowned upon by the courts and, in par ticular, because this type of restrictive covenant is contrary to public policy.
 Respectfully yours, Simon Bernstein

ticket on his car, which he had
parked for loading purposes in the
rear of his store.
II took the ticket off my car and
tore it up," Mr. Rayne declared.

KENNEY WARNS
OF SUDDEN DEATH

General George C. Ken
nGy, commanding our Strate-
gle Air Forces, says that the
United States will be the
No. l priority on the list of
"Offensives" of the next ag-
gressor. He also predicted
that the nation would have
no breathing space for in
dustrial expansion to pro-
duce d war machine to de-
feat the aggressor.
While many military eX-
perts do not agree with
General Kenney that the at
tack will come across the
North Polar spaces, there is
no reason to suspect his sin
cerity and certainly he is
concerned over the possibil-
ity that piloted and pilot

and it is not easy for the
average American citizen to
accept without reserve the
staggering immensely of the
threat foreseen by the air
minded General. Neverthe-
less. because of it's possibil-
ity. the nation should take
no risk. 1t is the business of
wise craftsmanship to be
prepared for what might
