Frost usually does not come before
October Is but its arrival from two
to three weeks early this year not
only wiped out vast crops of outdoor
flowers but also caught greenhouse
growers by surprise, an official of
the District Wholesale Flower Co.
declared.
He noted that the fall crop Is
starting in Virginia and that Florida
which was severely handicapped by
the hurricane. has begun slightly
increased production. This should
improve the supply in this area and
flower production through the North
and East should benefit within q
week on 10 days if the present favor
able weather continues, he said.
A railway express strike in New
York City has also contributed to
the shortage, wholesalers said
They reported that flower grow

linas appear to have been hit harder
than any others In this section OF

Longo Says Peooe Threat
Inspired New Comintern

ROME, Oct. 7 LR-Luigi Longo,
vice president of the Italian Com
munist Party, said today that the
new international Communist organ
ization recently formed in Poland
was created because the peace and
national independence of a group
of countries are directly and i'm
mediately threatened"
In an interview published in the
Communist newspaper L'Unita,
Longo, an Italian delegate to the
polish conference. declared that
only the Communist parties of Yu-
goslavia, Bulgaria, Hungary, Poland,
Russia, France, Czechoslovakia,
Romania and Italy were represented
because their countries at the pres
ent moment are the most threatened
by the aggressive designs of imperial
ism, and can do the most to resist
the offensive"
Il don't think anything will pre-
vent other parties, who deem it
necessary, to adhere to the Informa-
ton Bureau" which was established
in Belgrade as the headquarters of
the new Communist organization,
Longo said.

MIR. Fqemming said the commits
sion has co-operated with the House
Committee on n-American Activi-
ties and other congressional COM
mittees in supplying names and rec
ords of individuals when specific in
formation is requested.
But we cannot turn over the file
to any one, outside of the FBI, for
general perusal," Mr. Flemming
declared. He said the primary rea-
son for this is to protect the COM
missions sources in furnishing 10y
atty information.
The lead" file is not used by the
commission in "adjudicating" cases,
Mr.. Flemming said, but only as
LEADS" for commission investigators
IN investigating applicants for Fed
eral Jobs. Most of the names, he
said, are of persons not now in the
Government, and are being kept in
the event these people might some
day apply for Government jobs.
Hit at "Smear Artists"
Representatives Hoffman and Bus
hey, both of whom are regarded as
political conservatives, charged that
their names were inserted by smear
artists" of the extreme leftwing.
Mr. Hoffman refused to say how
he found out about the lead" file,
but remarked that obviously I got
the information from somewhere"
Mr.. Flemming said the commits
sion was very much concerned
about the leak and will take steps
to make sure that this won't happen
again
That's just my point replied
Mr.. Hoffman. Other people could
get access to it and use 1t for smear
purposes"
Commission officials cited an opin-
ion of Associate Justice Jackson
when he was Attorney General In
1s41 to back up their contention
that they need not turn over the
files to the committee.

Taft BIames Truman,
'Mahoney Monopoly
lin Debate on Prices
BY the Associoted Pres.

! NEW YORK, Oct. Tin a radio
debate last night. Senator O'Ma-
honey, Democrat, of wyoming
blamed monopolies for present high
prices, while his opponent. Senator
Taft, Republican, of Ohio blamed
''the policies of the Roosevelt and
Truman administrations"
Senator O'Mahoney spoke from
Denver and Senator Taft from Gin
cinnati over the Mutual Broadcast
ing System.
Congress gave the President
power to limit exports, but by failing
to exercise his power he has helped
prices to climb higher" Senator
, Taft declared.
: Furthermore, our Government in
buying for export has bought at the
; most inopportune times with the
most blatant publicity.
High Income Also Blamed.
Senator Taft, giving high income
as another reason for high prices,
. said the administration insisted on
q general wage increase pattern,
adopting the extraordinary theory
proclaimed by Henry Wallaces De-
partment of Commerce experts and
CIO that you could have universal
wage increase of 20 per cent without
increasing prices
A Democratic Congress passed the
OPA renewal bill in 1916, Senator
Taft said. president Truman We
toed it,
Senator OMahoney said that
President Truman vetoed the first
OPA extension bill because of an
amendment which he said Senator
Taft recently had referred to as
the simple provision that increased
costs must be reflected in increased
prices
Il have this simple provision
before me- Senator OMahoney
said. TT is the famous cost-plus-
a-proft Taft amendment. 1t would
lake five minutes to read 10 and
five hours to explain it. but it
wrecked price control because it was
an attempt to make the Govern
ment guarantee profit to manu-
facturers and professors.
Manufacturers Reaping Profit.
The manufacturers and process
sors, in whose interests Senator
Taft drew this price-raising for
mula, are now reaping the profits
he was so anxious they receive. The
New York Stock Exchange tells us
that the food professors whose stocks
is there listed had net income
curing the first six months Of 1947
more than 81 per cent greater than
: their net income in the first six
months of 1916. 49,
Quoting the Ohio Republican
again as having said at San Fran
cisco, Perhaps we have more
monopoly than we should have" the
Wyoming Democrat concluded:
That, Senator Taft. is the real
source of our difficulties. We do
have monopoly and it is the monopo-
lists who fix the prices the people
must pay. y" = Let us 90 back to
Washington. Senator Taft, and take
Trumans antimonopoly legislation
out of the Republican pigeon holes.
We shall then be attacking the price
problem effectively for we shall be
giving competition a chance"

hopes have been dissipated," Mr.
Fowler said, apparently referring to
long standing dispute between the
Commissioners and the Guard as to
who should get the money derived
from public use of the building.
Mr.. Fowler cited a proposed fu-
ture outlay of District capital in
behalf of the Guard and concluded:
TT is our opinion that every ef-
fort should be made Immediately to
transfer this activity in its entirety
to the Federal Government"
In discussing anticipated revenues
for the 1949 fiscal year, the budget
officer concentrated on money
chargeable to the general fund, sup
ported by the general taxpayer. The
highway and water funds are self
supporting, and .Mr. Fowler said es-
timated revenues for these two
funds would cover the proposed ap-
preparations from these funds for
next year.
General Fund Picture Different.
With regard to the general fund
Mr.. Fowler indicated, it is differ
ent story.
Total appropriations chargeable
to this fund in the current (1948D
fiscal year are $81, ,804 .842. This
figure would be met, he predicted,
with $64 1925 900 worth of taxation,
Federal payment of $1l 900 900. an
unspent balance of 81 100000 from
1947, and the salt of $4,679,842 in
securities held by the District.
In 1949, Mr.. Fowler estimated. tax
collections will come to $64 500 ,000
The Federal payment and whatever
balance is left over at the end of this
year, will bring this figure to about
$76, 10000, he said.
But, since the District has only
So, ,102 ,545 left of it's invested savings,

under the present setup would be
