Turkey Permits Interviews
With U. 5. Mission Chiefs
By the Associcted Press

ISTANBUL, Turkey, June T.
Turkish military authorities per-
mitted the Istanbul press today to
interview Mai. Gen. Lunsford E..
Oliver and Rear Admiral E. E. Herr
man of the United States military
mission to Turkey and hear them
praise the Turkish army and navy.
Although the leaders of the mis-
sion surveying Turkeys military re-
quirements have been here nearly a
week and most Of the nation knows
it, newspapers previously had pub
lished nothing about them-not even
bare mention of their arrival.
However, while the papers were
forced by edict to ignore the mis-
sion leaders here at the risk OF sus-
pension, they have printed daily
stories from other parts of Turkey
describing the visits of American
officers to various military installa-
tions, harbors and production CEN
tiers.
The military edict censoring an
nouncement of the presence Of the
American officers applied only to
the Istanbul area. which ofncially is
under state of siege.

ices and ample medical care and
facilities for all areas of the coun-
try and all groups OF our people.
We must also raise the level of
minimum wages, broaden our social
security benefits, provide decent
housing, equalize educational op-
portunities and in every way insure
that the welfare and standards Of
living of our citizens improve stead
lily. The strength that derives
from people confident in their
personal security and aware Of
world needs, is an overwhelming
power for peace.
We must work earnestly to in
sure that our economy stays in high
gear and that we have maximum
production, maximum employment
and maximum purchasing power.
We must have an economic sys-
tenn that provides opportunities for
all men willing and able to work.
This will take much effort and
some necessary steps are long over
due, but prudent fiscal and tax
policies, certain price and wage ad-
EJustments, labor management har-
mony and carefully planned pro-
gram of essential public works will
60 far toward insuring that the
present level of productivity-the
highest in our entire history-Will
continue.
Resources Going.
To a greater extent than ever be-
fore, our prosperity and security
depend upon our natural resources.
We are fast becoming have not"
Nation with respect to many i'm
portant minerals. We are short Of
some basic materials essential to
an economy of full production and
employment. We are short of cop
per, of steel, of lead and Of many
other critical materials. We are
faced with the danger of shortage
of petroleum products. The United
States is now using more oil each
day than did the entire world before
the war. Shortages Of fuel oil have
already appeared in parts of the
Middle West. A Nation is only
as strong as its productive capacity
and our capacity is now limited by
our shortages.
We have laws designed to con-
serve and develop our natural re-
sources and these laws, if wisely ad-
ministered, would largely eliminate
our shortages. However, we are now
in grave danger that these protect
ing laws will be made ineffective by
the failure of the Congress to pro-
vide the money necessary for their
administration
We have a long standing policy
that power resources should be de-
veloped for the benefit of the people.
AS a result of this policy, our coun-
try had the means of rapidly ex-
panding our supply of electric power

for powers and reclamation is the
key to the development Of the eco
nomic opportunities of this vast
part of our country. 1t will ultimate
ly provide millions Of jobs for our
citizens in areas which are now
sparsely settled.
Our veterans are hungry for these
opportunities. They want land on
which to settle SO that they can be-
come a constructive part Of the Ma
TONS economic life. We must pro-
vide our veterans with the land they
need. 1t is my hope that the recla-
nation projects so essential to the
development of this part of our
economy will not be curtailed.
Money spent for water control
reclamation, and power projects
cannot be regarded in the same
light as expenses for other construc-
ton programs. Appropriations for
reclamation and power projects are
investments which are repaid by the
water and power consumers. To
curtail construction on projects al
ready begun because construction
costs are high is to waste vast
amounts of public capital already
invested by postponing the time
when repayment begins.
Our national strength requires
that we think in terms of our l947
needs and responsibilities, not in
terms of the past. I earnestly hope
that the Senate will not follow the
House Of Representatives in cutting
our. conservation, reclamation, and
power programs back to the level OF
a decade ago. We must go forward
with the development Of the natural
resources upon which depend our
economic strength and our position
Of world leadership.

More Power Sought.
Despite the wartime expansion,
however. we face critical shortages
in our National supply OF power in
the next few years. We need more
and more electrical power to expand
old industries, build new ones, ex-
tract minerals from low-grade ores,
produce atomic materials for peace
time use, and to expand the electric
cation of our farms.
Our public power program must be
carried forward. We must continue
to build the multiple-purpose prof.
ects that conserve our precious
resources and develop loW-cost ener-
gy. We must build transmission
lines and sub-stations to bring the
power to markets.
The hydro electric power program
Is vital to the economic welfare OF
the Nation, and in some Western
States hydro-electric power is al
most the sole source of available
energy. All the great industries OF
the West-lumbering, agriculture,
mining-will be retarded for want OF
electric power. Nothing must pre-
vent the full development and use
of public power in these areas where
1t is needed the most. ;4a

/ not be built on : foundation OF
human want.
We In this country some years
ago wisely adopted national policy
which declared that all Of us must
share with the farmer the resporl-
sibility for maintaining our agricui-
tural resources. We said that the
farmer must be protected against
low prices and low income, against
some OF the hazards Of weather and
against the danger Of inadequate
credit. We decided TO keep reserves
of basic crops from the fat years for
use In the lean years.
Because we had adopted that
policy. American agriculture was
able to set new production records
during every year OF the war.
Because OF its reserves, in the
granary and in the soil, because Of
its basic strength, agriculture in
creased It's production fully one
third even though many people left
the farms to join the armed forces
or to work in industry.
The most remarkable aspect Of
our production records was that the
increases were in the crops for
which the Government asked in
creases. We were able to supply
our armed forces the kind Of food
they needed In the amount they
needed. We had the best fed fight
ing forces the world has ever seen,
and we supplied our Allies with the
kinds OF food they especially re-
quired.
We Produced Wheat.
When the fighting ended, there
was worldwide food emergency.
Grain was the most needed COM
modify. During the war, the United
States had not specialized in grain
production. But as q result Of our
farm policy our agriculture was SO
adaptable that we were able, almost
at once, to set new world records
in grain exports.
We have saved millions Of lives
of persons abroad. Our grain ship
ments have helped us to meet the
test as the world prepayment Of
democracy, freedom and peace.
Now we face a new challenge.
Our entire farm program Is en-
dangered by recent legislative
action. would be gravely con-
cerned If any effort to undermine
our farm policy were successful.
A year ago our Government made
a pledge to our farmers to carry on
the program of soil conservation
which is so vital to prosperous,
productive farming. The farmers
have right to expect that this
pledge be kept. We should guard
against all efforts to destroy the
program designed to carry out soil
conservation practices on our farms
Committees Are Effective.
The farmer committee system, q
basic part of the program fol-
balanced farm production and sol
conservation, has worked success
fully. Under it, farmers elect COM
mitteemen from among their neigh.
bors to run the agricultural con.
servation program, to handle COM
modify loans, to maintain the ever
normal granary, and to carry Out
emergency marketing programs in
time of extreme surplus. The
farmer committee system should be
continued.

8 Briggs Plants Face
Threat Of Strike Call
By JAW Wednesday
BY The Associated Press

DETROIT, June THE Briggs
Manufacturing Co., today faced a
threat b. the CLIO United Auto
Workers to call its 10000 employees
out on strike June ii In dispute
over new contract.
A walkout at the seven Briggs
plants in Detroit and one in Evans
vile, Ind, would affect almost i'm
mediately the production of auto
mobiles by Chrysler Corp. and the
Packard Motor Co.
Emil Macy, regional co-director
of the UAW-CIO, said negotiations
with the company, underway since
May /, broke down this morning.
Chief issues In the dispute, he said,
were the unions demand that a
pattern wage increase equivalent to
IS cents an hour be made retro
active, that the contract cover 500
salaried employees and that wage
classif1cations not be frozen.
Union Demands Listed.
In addition, he said, the company
demanded changes in the union
steward system and grievance ma
chinery within Its plants that are
not acceptable to the UAW-CIO.
Walter O. Briggs, jr., vice presi-
dent of the company, said the union
through its strike threat, "appar-
emily has chosen TO negotiate by I'LL
timatum instead of bargaining col
lectively."
He said the company could not
agree to make It's preferred wage
increase of liz cents plus six paid
holidays retroactive to April 20 as
demanded by the union.
It was on that date that Chrysler
Corp, chief customer of the auto
body manufacturing firm, granted
its employees the same boost.
Mr.. Briggs added Il at the COM
pany demands to which the union
objected would encourage the
timely filing of grievances. .
Two Auto Firms Affected.
A union spokesman said walkout
at Briggs would shut off supplies to
Chrysler and Packard within "a
hours" ...
Chrysler turned out 1898 cars
this week and Packard 1,034,
The union estimated the current
average hourly wage of Briggs pro-
duction workers at $1.31 an hour,
but said no figures were available
to show the average for salaried
employees.
Meanwhile, in another phase OF
the industry's labor picture, the first
court action in the 19-day-old walk
out of $500 supervisory employees OF
the Ford Motor Co. today left four
striking foremen awaiting trial on
Monday.
Four Plead Not Guilty.
They pleaded not guilty to dis
orderly conduct charges growing out
Of a plant dispute in which two nom
striking foremen were cut and
bruised Friday.
The Foremen's Association OF
America 1nd.) has been on strike at
three local Ford plants since May
20 In a demand for a new and re-
vised contract with the company.
The four defendants, Charles
Martin, 40, Frank Wojciechowski,
So, Henry Brox, 81, and Orlie Kuntz-
man, Al, were released under per-
sonal bond of $500 each by Munic-
ipal Judge George T. Martin OF
suburban Dearborn.
