New Hungarian Vote
will Be Necessary,
Premier Declares
Election Won't Be Held
Without Separate Party
Lists, Dinnyes Says

resignation, Macy says. Page AS
By the Associated Press

BUDAPEST, Hungary, June T..
-Hungary's new pro-communist
premier, Lajos Dinnyes, held his
first news conference today, and
announced that new elections
will be necessary"
The conference lasted for almost
two hours. with a slight break for
cocktails and sandwiches, and at
the end of the questioning by about
100 reporters the Premier was still
in good humor, though he re-
marked, "Ferenc Macy was never
questioned like this"
Former Premier Macy resigned
last week.
The day brought these other de-
velopments in the Hungarian
capital:
l. The British sent second sharp
request to the Russian commander
in Budapest asking copies of docu-
ments allegedly linking Mr.. Macy to
plot to overthrow the Hungarian
republic.
2. A reliable Hungarian source
said more than 200 Hungarians,
many of them former resistance
fighters against the Germans. had
been seized by the Communist po-
lice and held for questioning since
Mr.. Nagy's resignation.
Mr.. Dinnyes said the date of elec-
tions depended on political devel-
opments at home" and probably
would be before harvest some
time in September
A leading Hungarian politician
has explained the Communist posi-
ton is that if all political element;
cooperate with the Communist.
there would be no need for elections
but elections may be necessary tt

garian people" as against the opin.
ion of foreign governments.
Mr.. Dinnyes also declared there
will be no elections unless there are
separate (party) lists. A single list
is not an election"

Views of President
And Cabinet Sought.
. On Reorganization

Chairman Auchincloss of the
Home Rule Subcommittee of the
House District Committee yester-
day scheduled a series of hear
ings on city government reor-
ganization on which he is asking
the views of the President, the
cabinet, and all members of the
House.
While legislative action has been
deferred until next year, his group
will open hearings June 30 70 obtain
the views of hundred or more wit
nesses, preliminary to drafting
charter for city government here.
This plan was approved at an ex-
ecutive meeting of the subcommittee
Letters are being sent to the Presi-
dent, the cabinet and all House
members, asking them to submit any
ideas they may have regarding the
relationship of the Federal and Dis
Itrict governments.
The Auchincloss subcommittee has
a prime interest in views. c defcien-
! cies of the present setup, how these
may be corrected, how to provide
better Federal-District cooperation
and what should be done about suf-
frage or home rule for the District.
Spokesman Will Be Heard.
Spokesman for the public and es-
tablished civic and professional
groups will have their day at the
hearings. To lay foundation for
the most specific discussion possible,
however, the subcommittee plans to
hear first the views of those having
official responsibility, Mr.. Auchin-
Gloss said.
Special invitations are to go to
Government officials and heads of
Federal departments which now
have cially-designated contacts
with the District.
Chairman Auchincloss does not
plan to begin drafting a Washington
city charter-which may include
proposals for an elected council. or
mayor, or manager. or a combina-
ton of these-until aftef hearings
this summer and fall.
When some legislative plan re-
suits, he said, he will propose that
joint hearings be held with the
Home Rule Subcommittee of the
Senate District Committee early in
the second session of the Eightieth
Congress, beginning next January.
This program apparently ends all
possibility of action at this session
on the McCarran bill to create a
citizens commission to draft home
rule charter for the District. This
measure now is on the Senate calen-
dar awaiting action. The Auchin-
Gloss program indicates that if the
] McCarran bill should be passed by
the Senate the Auchincloss subcom-
mittee still will defer action until
next year, after its hearings are
completed.

Stor StcH CORRESPONDENT

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, June T.
President Truman tonight told
an audience of Mid-western vet
Grams that the congressional
economy drive is periling the ma
tional conservation and agricul-
tural programs-two endeavors
of high Importance in this sec
ton.
Addressing a memorial meeting in
Municipal Auditorium here in which
his old outflt-the 35th Division
honored its dead of both wars, the
President called attention to dwin-
ding natural resources-particular-
ly oil-and said there is grave dan
ger" that laws designed to cope with
this situation will be made inef-
fective by the failure of the Con-
gress to provide money for their
administration
Further he declared:
"Our entire farm program is en-
dangered by recent legislative ac-
ton. I would be gravely concerned
if any effort to undermine our farm
policy were successful"
Warning Is Issued.
In an Interpolation in his speech
President Truman served notice on
the wrold that the United States is
not backing away from anybody any
time. The Presidents prepared
speech was phrased, Japan struck
at Pearl Harbor because she thought
the United States was too weak to
fight back"
After delivering those words the
president, looking up at his audi
ence grirnly said, What a mistake
she made, and I can say that goes
for any other nation that gets that
notion"
The croud was quick to get the
implication and broke into quick
burst of applause.
The address, which was broadcast,
ended busy day for the President.
This morning, he rejoined his bud
dies of D Battery, 129th Field Ar
tillery, which he commanded 80
years ago, and headed a smile pa
rade-walking the last mile-then
reviewed the marchers, who hail
principally from Missouri and Kan
sas, with q sprinkling of Nebras-

Drives to Visit Mother.
Then he drove out to Grandview
for a visit with his 94-year-old
mother, Mrs. Martha E. Truman
who is showing progress again after
a relapse last month, while con-
valescing from a broken hip.
The president said. Mother had
a good breakfast although not SO
much for lunch. She enjoyed talk
ing to me and / am very much en-
couraged over the progress she is
making"
The President received noisy
ovation as he moved on to the con-
vention hall platform but the ap-
plause softened as he stepped to a
little eminence in the vast arena and
placed wreath at the cross which
stood there beside the flve-pointed
star of the House of Ds vid tribute
to the divisions dead.
On the stand with the President
were Gen. Eisenhower, Army chief
of staff who made a quick trip to
his home at Abilene, Kansas, today
and then appeared at tonights pro-

Kansas was strongly represented.
While the Presidents criticism of

Thinking 1t Through
by BEN DOR, LPA Columnist

Wow What excitement Just as if Joe
Louis, Hank Greenberg, and your favorite
movie star had all been hit by truck on the
same day. That's about what has happened
to business during the last few weeks, and the
business boys are really stirred up.
Within just a few days, the government
antitrust boys let fly at the steel industry, the
rubber industry, and some of the lesser fry
like the Eastman Kodak Company. Add these
cases to the cement case that's already in the
courts, and two railroad cases that are steam
ing up to the Supreme Court and throw in
lot of smaller cases and you really have cause
for excitement in Wall Street and on Fifth
Avenue.
What's it all about?
Well, prices mostly, and the way these big
guys stick you on the very important things
that you have to buy from big guys if you
are to get them at all.
The government has long list of the
excuses that the steel industry gives for rails
ing the price tag on you. They may charge
you freight on something that was produced
right around the corner from where you are,
and that never moved off the dock until you
came for it.
These are only samples, taken from the
charges against the steel companies. The other
industries have their own ways of getting the
same results And they have been using them
for long time.
If nothing else, the government is giving
us another chance to learn about monopolies.
We will see the cost, not alone in dollars;
but also in houses and thousand other things
that didn't get built. In the millions of jobs
that workers didn't have because the monop-
oleS had priced their products out of the
market. We will have a chance to learr how
much America has paid because the big boys
want to make their profits big, but easy Be-
cause they wanted to be prosperous small
production, and to hell with the rest of us.
Even if the government gets no more out
of these cases, they will have been worth
while if 49,.
-. if we learn that monopolies are every
where, and competition is gone
-. if we learn that you can't have monop-
olies and full production at the same time
=. if we learn that antitrust laws have
failed in most cases, and that some new way
has to be found to curb the monopolies
-. if we really get down to business and
work out solution for the monopoly problem
that will do what the antitrust laws have
failed to do.

Director Region 2B, UAW.CIO

To those who participated in the Labor
Day parade the judges, the spectators and all
who contributed to the success of our annual
turnout l want to express my sincerest ap-
probation
After taking my annual walk with all the
CIO brothers and sisters, l returned to the
front of the Commodore Perry Hotel to watch
the rest of the parade and was really I'M
pressed with the fine showing which the vari-
Gus Internationals Locals and units made,
particularly in expressing their dislike for the
Taft-Hartley law.
AS the various signs carried by the march
ing groups passed by me, the thought occurred
to me that if we would all show as much soli-
darity on the first Tuesday following the first
Monday in November, we do on the first
Monday of September, we would not find our
selves fighting against laws which are distinct
ly directed against labor
It has been many years since an issue as
basic as the Taft-Hartley law has aroused the
labor movement The last time that labor was
stirred up was when the organized employers
of the land refused to recognize the labor
unions after they had been granted the right
to organize and collectively bargain.
A lot of politicians and professional writ
ers and commentators are trying to tell us
that the law does not remove any of the basic
and Just rights of labor. If this is true, which
it isn't doesn't it seem strange that the pro-
test from the labor movement, from the rank
and file to the top leadership, is demanding
the repeal of the entire Taft-Hartley Act be-
cause of its disadvantages to continued organi-
zation work and collective bargaining on the
part of the unions?
Another thought that none of us should
miss and perhaps some of us did think of it
as the Labor Day parade marched past us is
this - labor can never feel too contented with
itself There is good reason for this. The re-
actonaries, both industrial and political, won't
let us relax too far Just about the time
we think we are doing fairly well, along
comes the NAM and reactionary Congress
to jar us back to reality.
Knowing these things, and all of labor
knows them now, we should all resolve to-
carry out the theme of the Labor Day parade
- REGISTER AND VOTE. 1 hope all who
believe the Taft Hartley law is wrong and
will damage the labor movement will live up
to the signs they carried on Labor Day, and
will 60 now and register and prepare to vote
this fall and in 1948 to restore the political
balance which we must have before we can
hope to begin to make more progress
