Mrs. Taft, Speech-Maker
Senator Would Enhance Chances if He
Could Adopt Wife's STYLE of Talk

She laid firm, kind hand on the
boisterous labor and Communist
demonstrators which have greeted
them.
Il didn't mind those people walk
ing out of BobS meeting last night,
she said. but I didn't like to see
Americans walk out on orders they
were not to hear the other side.
This isn't Russia; but it looks like it
Maybe they can get the other side
from the newspapers--I hope they
are allowed to read them in their
own homes"
With special skill she handled the
station demonstrators:
Many of those people were from
groups we have neglected. I regret
we did not get in this Congress to
our bills on health. housing and
schools" -tThese are all Taft bills.)
Points to Filibusters.
There wasn't time, she said and
skinned the President neatly on the
side. The administration began
this session with a filibuster for
Bilbo and ended it with a filibuster
to cover up the Kansas City vote
scandals. The President is very
agreeable man but unfortunately he
is one of the boys.
so long as the Government is
run by Pendergast politicians and
parlor pinks, we've got to stay on
our toes"
The Tafts, she disclosed. were not
upset by the Juror over "eat less. -
The people who didn't like Bob said
he was done with politics, but his
political career has been finished so
many times-and here we are.
Her Stealable description of the
bureaucrats: I'VE have a hiehboy
government-one bureau on top of
another. And the New Dealers are
the termites in the drawers"
Mrs. Taft blushed. oh, dear. l
sounded like Gen. johnson and ants
in his pants.
The New DealerA she said, talk
about the common man - a very
patronizing term.
Her audience did not warm to
her declaration that we are ready
to eat less when the administration
gives us the lead"
She ended on a Taftian note: I'VE
must hold on to our ideals-and our
common sense"

charming city. With the exchange
so favorable for example, American
cigarettes are something like cents
a pack we decided to do a bit OF
last-minute shopping. I needed
razor blades, shaving cream and
tooth paste. and Jean needed
cleansing tissue, among other things.
So we strolled along Union street,
which is Lima's Fifth avenue. Union
street is lined with the incest shops,
particularly those dealing in silver,
gold, watches and precious stones.
We stepped into a small but very
select little shop Jean decided to
have last-minute 60 at some silver
earrings) and found the proprietor
could speak a little English. After
a trif1ing purchase I asked him to
write. in Spanish, the name of a
nearby pharmacy and the Spanish
for razor blades and such.
Alone in Shop.
He said, Indeed not. I will 60
for you. If I cannot get what you
want at the first pharmacy I will go
to the next"
Before we could give him any
money, out he shot. to disappear
on Union street. So there we were
alone. in a shop that must have had
half million dollars worth of stock
on the shelves and in the showcases.
And neither of us spoke enough
Spanish to say any more than good
morning and good night. The pro-
prietor didn't know us from Adam.
We could have filled our pockets
with silver and gold and disap-
peared.
The owner hadn't been gone more
than five minutes when two fash
ionably dressed Lima matrons came
into the store and started looking
about. They talked to us in Spanish
and we didn't say word. We
couldn't. They looked at us as If
we we're crazy. When they at
tempted to leave. Jean, who was
determined that the gracious owner
should not lose a sale, came out
from behind the counter and did
everything but grab the ladies by
the coat tails and drag them back
into the store.
After about 10 minutes three more
customers came in. None spoke
English. They, too, looked at us as
if we were out of our minds. But
while Jean stood at the door, ready
to make a flying tackle if neces-
sary, I kept pulling out trays of
rings and watches and necklaces.
Both of us kept praying that the
owner would return.
:. --- Absent Half Hour.
He finally did, after an absence
Of almost half an hour. Beaming
widely. he showed me his purchases.
While his customers waited, he ex-
planned how he hadn't been able to
find what we wanted at the first
pharmacy and had had to go to one
blocks away. 1t was all we could do
to make him take the money for the
blades etc.
What do you think would be the
reaction of an American jeweler If
a. Peruvian came into his store and
asked about razor blades and such?
Do you suppose he would leave his
shop in care of the visitor from
South America and tear off to run
errands? I'm just asking. that's all.
I already know the answer, and so
do you.
Tomorrow we 60 to Quito, capital
of Ecuador. If you read that I have
been elected President, please re-
member that I didn't want the job.

ties which we are encountering in
Southern Korea from the infiltration
of agitators. the American officials
pointed out that unless a solution
for the Korean problem can be found
soon at the United Nations. the
United States will have to adopt one
of two policies:
/. Get out of Korea and leave the
southern occupation zone to its own
or Russian-devices; or
2. Spend at least $500, 000, 900 on
war industry in Korea, build up
the defenses of that area and
strengthen the token forces which
now occupy the country but would
be powerless to defend it against ag-
erosion from the north.
1S-Month Negotiation.
After Is months of negotiation
with the Russians, American mill
tary and political officials have come
to the conclusion that there is no
way of reaching any workable ar
rangement as hoped for when the
country was divided into two zones.
American occupation forces are
small, less than combat division.
North of the 18th parallel the Soviet
military forces consists of at least
four divisions. To these must be
added 10 native North Korean d.
visions, which have been thoroughly
trained and equipped under the
guidance of Soviet officers.
The North Korean army is well

On the Other Hand
How the President Could Find
Out About Voluntary Control

It has become clear that neither
problem can be solved unless some
means is devised for the control of
the great American appetite-our
appetite for food and drink and our
appetite for profits.
As President, then, I would ask
Congress to meet for the purpose
of restoring Government price con-
troll and rationing.
simultaneously with the call to
Congress 1 would issue a call to the
American people. l would try to
explain in words of one syllable now
desperately necessary price control
and rationing have become. would
ask the American people, in the light
of the information given them, lot
to wait for Congress to act, but to
undertake their own control and
self -rationing Immediately.
Can Begin Any Time.
Voluntary control is something
that can begin any time-tomorrow
or the day after, if the President
makes his case clear enough and
emphatic enough, spelling out the
particular extravagances it is most
important for us to give up.
But the President would have tt
be honest with us. He would nave
to admit that he does not, and can
not, expect voluntary control to dc
the necessary job; that it can dc
no more than alleviate the situation
while waiting for the machinery Of
Government control to take hold.
He could say, of course, that he
hopes to be proved wrong. He could
say further that if this should hap
pen, if voluntary control should &C.
tually work, bringing prices once
more within reason, he would with
draw his proposal to restore Govern
ment control.
That would leave Congress with
only the one problem to handle
the problem of aid to Europe, and
that would resolve itself into a ques-
ton of how much aid. Every men,
Der of the House and Senate who
has expressed himself has said we
must furnish some financial and
material assistance. The special
session would therefore need to con-
Germ itself merely with the question
Of how much.
That is, to repeat. if we should
prove ourselves capable of self-con-
troll.

denied he had told police any such
thing. Under cross examination.
police had to admit they had
nothing on the defendant except
his own alleged confession.
Judge George D. Nelson upheld a
defense motion for acquittal on the
ground that, under the law. a mans
confession alone is not enough to
convict him. Gaines had been
charged with unlawful entry and
larceny.

Research was speeded UP for
presentation of testimony to con-
gressional committees. Our public
information Office poured out facts
and figures to newspapers, radio
STATIONS, Government officials and
members of Congress. . Three
times in the past two months repre-
sentatives of the national founda-
ton appeared as star witnesses be-
fore congressional committees. :
On March "A, Mr.. Binns (Arthur w.
Binns, president of NHPOF) ap-
peared before the House Banking

extension of rent control.

Wolcott that the foundation would
support the bill as written II prop

this time Is a fat increase of Is
per cent.

tirely. Here Is how. Congress
won't finish any rent control bill
until late May or early June. II
it provides for higher rent ceilings
President Truman will probably
veto it. There are not enough votes
in Congress to override his veto.
Before Congress can get around
to passing a new bill, rent control
will have expired on June 80. And
If there is no wave of unreasonable
rent hikes and evictions Congress
might just let rent control stay
dead. s
