More Federal Powers
Sought in 30 Bills,
0'Mahoney Reports
By the Assoe;ofed Press

NEW YORK, Jan. Ex-senator
OMahoney Democrat Of Wyoming)
reported tonight that 30 bills seeking
greater Federal powers are now be-
fore Congress.
"This Is taking place within three
months of a National election at
which the people of the country
in unmistakable terms let 1t be
known that they want not more
Government but less" he said in an
address before the New York State
Bar Association.
Senator OMahoney blamed a
mushrooming Of administrative bur-
eaus In Washington on the growth
of national and international busi-
ness corporations. and declared:
Every one of the so-called billion
dollar corporations, about "a in
number, is more wealthy and power
full than most of the sovereign
States of this Union and practically
all of our cities"
Names Corporate Giants.
Among the corporate giants" he
named General Motors, United
States Steel, American Telephone
and Telegraph Co., The Great
Atlantic g. Pacific Tea Co., General
Electric and the Pennsylvania Rail-
road system.
when some of these corporate
giants are considered in terms OF
their employees and the number OF
their stockholders, 1t becomes appar-
ent at once that they are eco
nomic states" he said.
"It is of the utmost importance
that we should comprehend the
narrow margin which separates the
giant collectivist economic state OF
the modern world from the authori-
tartan political economic state which
threatens the very basis OF human
liberty"
Appearance Of Totalitarianism.
Declaring that the present-day
industrial corporation has become
80 great that it can match re-
sources even with governments"
Senator O'Mahoney said failure to
provide "the rule of order by which
the modern economic state shall
be made servant of the
people has led directly to the ap-
pearance of totalitarianism."
There can be no solution OF our
problem" he continued, until we
find a rule by which these economic
organizations, whatever they are
corporations, trade associations, Ia
Dor unions, organizations of con-
sumers, pressure groups of every
kind-may live together in under
standing and mutual helpfulness
for the benefit of all the people"
Senator O'Mahoney said Congress
should enact legislation under which
''the managers Of all modern eco
nomic organizations are made re-
sponsible to the people"

Appeal Of kaImedy
Massacre Verdict
Surprises Officials

officials of the Army War Crimes
Branch expressed surprise yesterday
at reports that an American officer
who defended 43 Nazi soldiers ac-
cused of the massacre of $50 Ameri-
can troops intends to appeal their
death sentences.
Legal experts who worked on the
prosecution of the Schutzstaffel
elite Guard troops alleged to have
machine gunned the American SOL
diers from tanks after they had been
taken prisoner at Malmedy, Belgium,
said the Nazis were proved guilty
beyond doubt in a fair trial.
A dispatch from Dachu, Germany,
reported 1t. Col. Willis M. Everett
of Atlanta, defense counsel at the
trial last summer. en- route to Wash
ington to appeal to the Supreme
Court and demand special review
by the Army Judge Advocate Gen.
eral.
Col Everett contends Americans
obtained confessions from the Nazi
troopers by beatings and mob trials
to frighten them. He charged that
80 per cent of the evidence consisted
of illegal and fraudulently procured
confessions,
Oficials of the War Crimes Branch
challenged this, but added that all
judicial processes would be open to
Col. Everett in his appeal action,
Declaring that the prosecution
built its case on mass of carefully
collected evidence, officials gave the
following details:
To narrow the search for Nazi
troops responsible for the slaughter
near Malmedy crossroads in the
Battle of the Bulge of December,
1914, the War Crimes Branch and
other Army investigators sifted the
records and interviewed hundreds OF
thousands of former German SOL
diers. In the United States alone
350,OO0 German prisoners OF war in
prison camps were screened.
Out of this process there were
located los men who belonged to
the combat group of the 1st Panze1
Regiment, commanded by Col. Joa-
chin PEPPER.
These men were questioned and
out of the 105, about half dozen
were found who had evidence OF

the massacre. These half dozen
were sent to Dachau and testified

BY a similar sitting process, q
number of witnesses were located
among former German soldiers In
Europe.

DIR. HARRIS OPENS: The first
principle is to keep up demand. Our
long-run problem seems to be not the
technical one of production, but the
institutional one Of distribution and
demand. What is produced must be
sold, and at profitable prices, or
Profits decline and with it, demand
;or labor suffers. How to keep up
demand? The easiest approach, were
it practical would be revival OF COM
petition in both labor and COMMONLY
markets With monopolists thWarteo,
the appeal of lower prices Will teno
TO raise total demand. Only the over
optimistic or the naive. however,
have much hope real competition can
be revived. A second approach Is IN
come redistribution Through proper
wage. tax. and price policies more
available spending power can be al
verted to the largest group OF spend
ers. i.e. low-income groups Ihere
are limits here also, however. wages
and tax burdens may be so high as
to hamper production directly more
than they help indirectly through
supporting demand. Here is our thlrd
approach: when necessary. direct
governmental intervention through
spending-especially dollars manu-
featured for the purpose The spend
ing. where possible. should not be IN
areas in direct competition with prl-
vate enterprise But if the existing
unemployment level is very algh,
government may not be able 70 una
adequate outlets for its spending
power without implngins on private
enterprise. That is the price that has
to be paid for the 10 million JOBS
(sayJ created. and fol the salvage OF
resources that otherwise would nave
been wasted
DR. hAAhE CHALLENGES: The
first principle is not to keep up de-
mand: it is to keep up exchange.
Demand (people wanting things) is
al1paus present. but the ability to
indulge our Wdnts depends upon our
ability to pay the price asked by the
other fellow. The mistaken idea that
government can do this by juggling
taxes and by manufacturing phony
dollars belongs to the new school OF
surrealist economics The right way
is to let wages be determined oy
what the customer is willing and
able to pay. Then we can all ex-
change our production without those
economic interruptions that we call
depressions.
DR.. HARRIS REPLIES: Demand
means a willingness to buy and the
capacity to pay Virtually the same
labor, capital and resources produced
40 billion dollars Of income in 1888
and l6O billion dollars income IN
l945 The creation Of what DIR Haake

DIR. HAAKE OPENS. First we
should consider what unstabilizes our
economy. We get into trouble when
the goods that are produced cannot
be exchanged; when no customers
can be found to take them of the
shelf. The workers who produced
them must then stop working until
customers reappear. Now, there are
only two reasons why customers stop
buying: they either don't want the
goods or they can't afford to buy
them. Goods that are not wanted are
not long made, so our chief trouble
is that once in a while prices get be-
yond the reach of certain important
groups of customers. That Is what
happened in 1882 when England went
off the gold standard and knocked
the bottom out Of the American
farmers income: the farm worker
couldn't continue to buy the produc-
ton of the city worker, which meant
that the city worker had to stop
working. There were only two things
to do: lower the cost Of city goods
by lowering the wages OF city work.
ers, or raise the income of the farm
workers. The farm income could not
be raised without creating an artifi-
ciaI market which would not be free.
The other alternative, lowering city
prices, was not allowed to happen so
we had whopping depression that
lasted until the farmers got back on
their feet. To sum up, stability comes
when each group of workers Is will
ing to work for the price that the
customer is able to pay.
DR.. HARRIS CHALLENGES: DR..
Haake's main cure. namely, wage
cuts, is inadequate. impractical and
incorrect Cut wages by a billion dol
lars and you cut demand by about a
billion dollars. Employment depends
ON high demand and suffers with low
demand. It was rising wage income,
not falling, that prevailed as we
emerged from the depression Even
farm economists delude US with
charts showing that farm income
rises with increasing city income.
DR.. Haake's second cure-a rise OF
farm income-reminds one OF the
hunter who would spear lion with
| a bean shooter
DR.. HAAkE REPLIES: DR.. Haake
IS not passing out cures: he is strip
ping the problem Of the hocus-pocus
OF money manipulation The simple
fact Observation-Disclosures by Dr..
Harris-that when a worker asks
more than the customer can afford TO
pay he cannot work Az employment
comes from the customer because all
payroll comes from the customer.
Workers being each Ither's custom
ers, are each othef's Employers
Therefore. the amount they ask eacn
other to pay must be within tnelr
ability t. pay High prices OF factory
products simply mean fewer GUS
toners, less employment and lower
annual income for factory workers
