 Campaign
Gives Out 8-Poini Program to Beat Boom or Bust
 TendenCies"

I MILWAUKEE, Nov. 25.-tR- Harold E. Stassen, formally open ing his campaign for the Republi- can Presidential nomination las night, advanced an eight-point do mestic and international program to overcome what he termed boon or bust tendencies
 The former Minnesota Governor in a nationwide broadcast iron the city auditorium, told the 4,50( persons at the political rally that in the succeeding months he plan- ned to spell out the details" of the plan and hoped his proposals would stimulate others to offer additional facts and alternative proposals"
 1 We might find together the best program t2at America can fol- ] low and that cur Republican par ty can present. Stassen told the rally. which was sponsored by the Republican organization of Wis 'consin and the Stassen for PreSi- dent Volunteers of Wisconsin.
 Liberal Proposals
 The best of progress in America has been made when liberal, for ward looking proposals have been blended and adjusted with conser- vative attitudes into and agreed program of action" Stassen said. Tn that sense, I do not clash with the conservatives of the Republi- can party but rather do I seek the area of agreement with them on the basis on which we can join in action by the Congress and the Nation"
 Six Other Pol cies
 Housing and what he termed lack of adequate health service were ranked top priority by Stas- sen in his program, which also included six other policies he said
 must be inaugurated to prevent the boom and bust tendencies of our free economy
 They included reduction in tax es to specifically give a break to small new businesses; maintenance of consumer credit control; insis- tence that agriculture should never be per mitted to be distressed; a lator policy that is fair and just and maintains a balance between individually managed capital and free organized labor, affirmative backing of the United Nations, making clear we would never fol- low policy of appeasement tow ard anyone, and elimination Of Communist infiltration in America.

 Within ten minutes after Warden John c. Burke called out to the cCnvlcts to behave and return to your cells" all 69 were in custody of the 150 officers who ringed their barricaded laundry building inside the prison walls.
 Weapons Tossed Away
 They tossed away their home made weapons + clubs, sharpened bits of metal and lengths of pipe and marched meekly to their cells.
 Warden Burke, who said the con- victs refused to tell why they were striking, declared their punish ment will not be determined until I have an opportunity to weigh each individual case"
 He added he felt possibly half had not supported the instruction. ? A lether hostage, George Anna don, 24, said "one of the convicts played with an ugly jacknife all night.

The W ashington Merry Go Round
By DHGW PEARSON

Aboard The Southwest Special Friendship Train-A lot of my edl- tors are probably wondering when I am going to quit collecting food and get back to being a newspaper man (so, also, is my wife). However when the people of the Southwest announce that they've been blessed with big wheat crop and want to share it with others, and when they go out and raise some Is carloads of wheat with no urging from any one and no help from their Gov ernment-then that, in my opin- ion, is news. Furthermore, it's in Yigorating, stimulating news that I get lot more kick out of writ ing about than I do peeking through keyholes in Washington
 One of the hardest things to tell In print, however, is the enthusi- dsm, the generosity and the enter prise of the American people when t comes to giving food for friend ship This was the most spontan- eous movement toward world bro tnerhood and friendship this coun- try has probably ever seen and chiefly behind it is the belief that, whereas battleships can win wars, Iocd can help win the peace.

Tax Collection Budget
Criticized as Truman
Signs Z Billion Bill
President Charges Politics
In Cutting Appropriation
For Revenue Bureau
BY Joseph A. Fox

President Truman today signed
the $12,402,485,671 Treasury Post
Office appropriation bill for the
fiscal year starting today, but
criticized "the gross inadequacy"
of funds provided for tax COL
lection.
The President said a $4,000 900
cut in the ALLEGATION for the In
ternal Revenue Bureau will mean
dismissal of 1000 or 5000 employees
and result in a direct loss of reve-
nue. of not less than 100000, ,000' in
the fiscal year.
Obliquely, the President charged
that the slash was dictated by poll
tics, and asserted that ''the admin
istration of the taxing statutes
should never be influenced by po-
litical considerations.
He did not elaborate on the refer
ence to political considerations" !"
but declared:
People of all political faiths are
called upon to support their Gov
ernment through the payment of
taxes and are entitled to adequate
administrative controls to insure
that the dishonest do not shift their
share to the honest"
The total for the two departments
is about 100000 less than Mr..
Truman asked for operations in the

liam Green, president of the Ameri-

urged labor union members to de-
feat at the polls Congress members
who supported the Taft Hartley
Labor Act and indicated labor
might take a holiday on next elec-

Speaking at the national conven-
ton of the American Flint Glass

said:
The humblest worker in the land
can go to the ballot box and vote
and his vote will count as much as
that of the wealthiest man in the
Nation. We've got the voters in the
industrial States of the Nation.
We must vote as one man.
Perhaps, if we can arrange it,
We will call for a holiday on election
day. We can take holiday if they
don't give us ane."
A burst of applause greeted this
statement.
The AFL president said he had
been urged to call nationwide
strike in protest of the new labor
law, but he said this would hurt
