ICES national health and safety or the
public interest"
This merely means that both en-
ployer and worker need only apply the
Golden Rule to their negotiations to
get along with each other in perfect
peace.
The trouble is that labor leaders
have become so arrogant and for the
most part employers have been SO
browbeaten since the Wagner act came
into existence that neither party can
see any rights" but its own and is in
no fair mood to seek the settlement OF
any dispute save IN its own terms.
The Taft-Hartley act is not to be
mistaken for a cure-all of all labor
management troubles, but it does set
up legal machinery for the adjustment
of inequalities on both sides. 1t de-
serves a fairer trial than many are
willing to accord it before condemning
it out of hand.

WASHINGTON. Congress, which
hates and desplses all government
press agents when they're employ
ed by the bureaucrats, has sudden
lv grown public-relation conscious
itself in a big way.
The Senate is considering a BIZ
partisan move to hire a $56oO-a-
year official photographer to
make 'em look prettier. And both
Houses are about to give final
okay on a move to set up a "Co-
ordinator of Recording Facilities"
"a disc jockey to record the Voice
of Congress on immortal platters.
These two developments top the
House action to set up a "Coordl-
nator Of information" AS report
ed in this column a few days ago,
his job will be to file and digest
useless information.
1t has also become known that
the Hon. John Taber, chairman OF
the House Appropriations Com
mittee ard a wartime enemy OF
Elmer Davis's owl, wasn't above
accepting the services Of a paid
press agent himself this spring,
when his committee started
lodging bad publicity brickbats.
The deal to provide Congress
with an official photographer was
started by Senator's Chavez,
Kilgore, Quincy. Butler, Capehart,
Brewster and Hatch. The W y
things are now, the news photogra-
pliers take pictures that make con-
gressmen look ike what they are.

which are ottec-shaped and su.

In the same Family are the

he fights with such agility that

lative Appropriation Act, setting
up the Coordinator of Recording
Facilities.
For the past ten years or So,
Robert j. Coar and his wife,
Helen, have been running a record
ing studio on the fifth floor of the
old House Office Building. T h e y
got rent, heat and light free from
Uncle S a m. They installed their
own equipment, which they say
represents a $50, 900 investment.
Here they cut records for Con-
gressmen who wanted to make
canned speeches to send out on
platters tc their home : town
stations. The rates were Sc for a
15-minute platter, 81 for five min
utes, and $3.50 for one-or two-min-
ute short. This is about half what
the commercial recording studios
charge, but they have to pay over
head.
This year Coar got ideas of ex-
panding operations. He proposed
that Congress take over his bust
ness at a cost to the taxpayers of
$25. 600 a year, including $4,000 for
him, $4,000 for his wife, and a staff
of three engineers and a secretary.
His first idea was that he be
called Coordinator of Radio Infor-
nation Facilities. The Congress
sional Radio Correspondents AS
ISOLATION stopped that one and
made him change the name. Con-
gress then hacked down the sala-
ries to $4,000 for Coar, $4,000 for
his wife.
But they'll go on the government
payroll as things now stand. Ac-
cording 70 Coar's testimony, he
would like to make authorized re-
cordings of hearings, provide an
nouncers to introduce the congress
men, arrange forums, and give
other services.
Who is going to get the Sc. the
81 and the $3.50 isn't quite clear.
Coar said it could be set UP any
way, but there seemed to be no
idea of turning it into the Treas
ury.
The advantages of this setup to
Congress r said to be that it
will give the representatives and
senators Z chance to say what they
please, to e%ditorialize, and to
answer all the unkind things that
are said ABOUT them in the news
papers.
They might begin by cutting 4

Russian Economic Problems

Russian Economic Problems
In it's decision to play it's own hand
instead of participating in the Marshall
proposal for Europe's rehabilitation
Russia has created many economic
problems it cannot hope to solve to its
own or it's satellites satisfaction.
This is the opinion Of Commerce
Department experts who have studied
Russian papers and trade figures in
middle Eprope. According to an AS
ISOLATED Press dispatch from Washing
ton there are eight specific traffic
blocks on the Russian trade road. As
named by the AP, they are:
l.. Except for Czechosloyakia, the
whole Russian orbit has not large
groups of skilled industrial workers,
yet the whole 287, COO, 900 persons need
both machines and consumers goods.
2. Russia could have gotten some
Of the needed machinery from the
United States. There still are no Gov
eminent embargoes to prevent it from
doing so. But the Commerce Depart
ment reports a growing, tacit embargo
on the part of American manufactures
who are refusing to sell to the Rus
SLAMS. Commerce experts who have
lived in Moscow say this will come as
a shock to the Kremlin since, as Com
munists, the Russians think capitalists
will sell anywhere there is profit.
3. Russian publications show that
Moscow has ordered for manufacturers
this year twice as much .horse-drawn
farm equipment as power driven. They
1lgure this means disappointing pro
ductlon in the tractor factories.
a. Figures bear out the assumption.
AT Iankograd, in the South Urals-the
town on which Russia has depended for
tractors-the production lines will roll
out only $4,000 tractors this year. That
compares with $4,000 tractors in 1895.
8. Russia has enough of it's own
grain, timber, basic ores, and cotton.
6. But it needs tungsten, oil and
TIN. Moscow now is shopping world
markets for molybdenum.
Z. 1t looked as though Russia might
get much machinery through the re-
cent trade deal with Sweden. But the
Swedes report they can't begin to de-
liver Tor two years, and those to Rus
sla Will be only Is per cent of their
exports.
q. Russia did get $4,000, 900 worth
OF machinery from Great Britain the
first quarter of 1947. But it went into
debt to do it. 1t sold Britain only ST.
00O, 900 worth of goods.
In the circumstances, and whatever
course the Soviet Union takes, the trade
future of the Russian satellites obvious
ly is far from rosy. Nor can it be too
happy for the Russian people either.
But as communism prospers on the dis
tress of impoverished peoples, the Krem-
