Since coat manufacturers have gotten ur-trmmed garments to certain price level exempted from the excise the beauty culturss also would like to get their noses inside the tax-exemption tent

PROGRAM FOR GREECE

Now that President Truman has been voted his money for Greece and Turkey, he faces the all-im- portant question of exactly how he will spend it. Upon this largely de- pend two things.
 1.-Whether we have peace or war with Russia
 2-Whether Harry Truman is re- elected President of the United States.
 Regarding the less important of these two points. it is interesting to note that the quarter billion dollars we are giving Greece will run out one year rom now. just as the l949 political campaign is getting hot And if Harry Truman has to come back to the taxpayers at that time and ask for more dough for Greece, then you can write 1t down as definite that he will he one-shot president.
 If, on the other hand, the Greek program is a success, the So-called Truman doctrine may go down in history. And what's far more inn portant, the peace of the world may be materially stabilized
 After World War l, this writer spent two years in and out of Greece on Balkan reconstruction work, so perhaps knows a little of the difficult problem the United States faces in rebuilding this hec- tic corner of the world. Based on this experience it is my belief that if any one nation is qualified to help lift Greece from its present imbroglio of strife and corruption, 1t is the United States. And even though my Republican friends may suspect me oI trying to help re- elect Harry Truman, here are some of my own ideass on how Harry can spend our money so as to get 100 cents out of each of our 250,- 100000 Greek relief dollars:

TAFT GETS RELIGION

Republican colleagues have been chuckling about the way Ohio's Senator Bob Taft apparently got religion" after the Senate unex- pectedly smacked down the labor bill amendment to restrict indus try-wide collective bargaining.
 At a closed-door COP caucus the next day, Taft suddenly began talk ing almost ike a New Dealer, even taking issue with Freshman Sen ator James P. Rem of Missouri when Rem uncorked a wordy di- atribe against the Democratic Ad- ministration of his fellow Missouri an.
 Whats more, Taft served notice that he would expedite action on
The Daily Alaska empire., 1947-05-13

his long range public housing bill which he has been soft-pedalling- and that he would also push teach CTS salary increases.
 Senator Rem had declared that all vestiges of the New Deal should be wiped from the law books. The American people had given Repub- licans a mandate in the last cleo tion. thundered the Freshman Sem ator from Missouri, and the COP would have to carry through on its entire program, including debt re- duction, tax cuts and stiff labor control
 Well, I can't go along with you entirely broke in Taft. "As far as I'm concerned, I will do all I can to help the working people and I intend to fight Tor action on hous- ing and teachers relief during this session."
 Taft went on to say that he had decided to bring up his pubic housing measure for Senate action this week.
 Maybe I'm partially to blame for the last education bill (for teacher salary increases being defeated a couple of years ago." Taft confess ed. But I'm going to support the legislation this time and will do all I can to get teachers aid en- acted into law"

 2-Forget the State Departments mid Victorian idea that we are not going to interfere with the sover- eighty of the Greek Government, and instead lead the Greek Gov ernment-by the nose, though through the King-almost every step of the way Otherwise we will be up to our necks in the crooked est, smelliest dictatorship that ever iouled the dictator polluted Bal kans.
 3,-Don't waste money on the Greek army. They don't need any more weapons of hate with which to kill civilians. And they can't bring the guerrillas down from the hills, even with more weapons.
 4.-Grant immediate amnesty to all political prisoners and eXiles- with an American guarantee behind it. This American guarantee should attract all the rebels down from the hills. except the Communists who are relatively small in number.
 5.-USe most of the American cash to rebuild the key ports of Salonika, Piraeus, and the railroad bridges. This will both give employ ment and get the trade of Greece back on it's feet. If this can be done in single year, private banks or the World Bank can go in the second year with ordinary business loans to finance the rest of Greek reconstruction.
 If, on the other hand, U s. dol lars are Squandered on arms, plus goods which only bolster the ruling RoyalistS and eventually reach the black market, then Greece will be back asking for more dough one year hence.
 6.-Make sure the British forego their previous private loans to Greece. British bankers, charging interest at around fifteen percent, formerly drained heavy portion of the Greek budget.
 7.-Ask the United Nations to appoint observers to work with us and report back to the LIN on ev- erything we do. This should par tially offset the slap in the face We gave the United Nations by go- ing ahead with Greek aid inde- pendently. It should also prepare for eventual taking over by the UN.

ROmania Rejects
 French Invitation

PARIS, (P)-Romania rejected today the British-French invita- tion to Paris conference on the Marshall aid-to-Europe proposal, and became the second nation in the Russian sphere to decline the bid. Bulgaria's rejection came late last night.
 The cabinet issued a communi- que rejecting the invitation.
 In Moscow, meanwhile, the Sov- jet press made no mention today of the conference, which will open in Paris Saturday.
 Associated Press correspondent Larry Allen reported from War saw that Poland's foreign office probably would deliver late to- night notes to the British and French embassies, giving the Poles decision on the invitation. He added there were indications that the Poles might accept with strong reservations.
 In London, a British govern ment spokesman said foreign sec retary Ernest Bevin would attend the conference but would leave most of the work of organizing European economic cooperation to government experts.

Grange Suggests Ceilings Plan To Lower Prices

WASHINGTON, (P) - The na- tional Grange suggested yesterday that labor and major industrial firms agree on program of vol untary ceilings on wages and pro- fits as a step toward lower prices.
 The farm organization made this proposal as the American fed eration of labor declared that "the feast and famine policy of indus try" has pushed prices and profits to the brink of an economic re- ceSSion.
 The Grange and the AFL laid down their views in separate statements prepared for the joint Congressional committee on the economic report. This group is studying suggestions on how to prevent boom and bust swings of the nations economy.
 Albert s. Goss, master of the Grange, told the committee:
 If labor and industry in a number of Americas largest in dustrial concerns would agree upon a program in which cell ing would be placed on wages, and ceiling on industrial profits, with all margins above such cell ings divided between labor, in- duStrial ownership and the public in the form of lower prices-with major part of the saving going toward reduction in price-our in flationary spiral would soon be put in reverse"
 Goss said the interests of the public would be served if some method of economic regulation such as this should be adopted, rather than expending so much effort to regulate monopoly and pr O f teering through punitive

Courts Martial
 Stacked In Europe

WASHINGTON, (P) - Senator Jenner R.-N. J. contended yes terday that ''the high command in the European theater is stacking courts against defendants in courts martial"
 In a letter to secretary Of war Patterson demanding full inves- tigation of army military trial procedure, Jenner offered what he said was documentary proof that:
 1. "Prisoners are not being per mitted to employ either civilian or military counsel of their own choice in the preparation and pre- sentation of their defense"
 2. Every effort is being made to prevent attorneys who were connected with the infamous Lichfield prison case to practice in courts martial in the European theatre"

ITALY SEEKING BIG LOAN FROM
 UNITED STATES
CBy Associated Press)

Things are beginning to look pretty good for a big American loan to Italy.
 Italys hawk-faced Premier, AL eide de Gasperi. is in Washington right now, and he's talking with top-flight American officials about loan of 100 million dollars Tor his country.
 Such a loan would have to be approved by the Export t-Import bank, which until recently had been wary of extending credit to the Government of Italy. But now 1t appears that the men who run the bank have undergone change of heart. That's because Italy re- gently revised it's application to provide more specifically for the use of the loan funds by industries manufacturing goods for export Under that arrangement, the Ital- ians might be able to repay the IOdH WiOi ioieish cASiaiiSc aiiicu by those exports.
 In the long run, the question of an Italian loan will depend on how good selling job Gasperi can do on the United States Govern ment Hes talking with Secretary of State Brynes today, and later in the week he'll see President Truman.

ALEUTIAN CHAIN
 IS BUFFETED BY
 GALES, WEEKEND
Reports Being Checked that Plane Wrecked
 al Am(hiikd

ANCHORAGE Alaska. Jan G. Alaskan military installation and personnel were said by Army head quarters today to have escaped ma terial damage and injury in the two gales which struck the Aleu- tian Island chain over the week end.
 Unofficial reports are being checked. however that plane had been wrecked on the ground at Amchitka. near the end of the Is land group, and that several per- sons had lost their lives in the Hooper Bay area, 300 miles below Nome.
 Icy, snow-bearing gales snapped power lines in the Nome area and left the community in half-hour blackout, but major damage such as was caused by storms earlier this winter was prevented by ice floes which stretched far out into the Boring sea.
 The entire chain was buffeted by winds of gale velocity twice during 24-hour period. The second storm, which swept in from the Southwest late Saturday, was ex- pected to hit Norton Sound, South of the Nome Peninsula, last night.
