onstration at Massachusetts, avenue

entered the Embassy, where they de-
livered letter of protest to Thomas

up to be done in these low wage
industries" Senator Flanders con-
tinued. Let's say we have done that.
Then the wage increases ought to
come out of increased productivity,
and profits ought to be big enough
to permit the capital expansion that
provides for increased productivity. i"
In his speech the Vermonter called
the wage settlement with Mr.. Lewis,
which was followed by steel, auto
and other price increases, "calam-
ity' and an example of "shoveling
fuel onto the fires of imitation"
He questioned the need for the
steel price increase, declaring prof.
it's of United States Steel Corp. in
the half-year just closed were near
ly triple those of the first half Of
1946.
He said the complete surrender"
of United States Steel and the
Northern coal operators to Mr.. Lew
is-"with little visible appearance
of resistance or Of real negotiation"
has precipitated a new round of
wage demands and raised the threat
of still further price increases.
Management and labor of no in
+dustry has the right to make an
agreement without calculating its
effects on the rest of society,"" Sen
ator Flanders said.
This alliance between industry
and the miners has many of the
effects of a cartel agreement, in that
it disregards the good of the whole
for the short-run benefit of special
groups.
IF such arrangements become
general practice, the Government
will be forced to step in.
Welfare Factor Emphasized.
'If we are to escape such Govern
ment control, it Is necessary that
both management and labor as
sumo the responsibility of consider
ing the welfare of the country at
large. They must consider each
act on the basis of it's effect on So
ciety If followed by all"
An economist, Alfred c. Neal, re-
search director of the Federal Re-
serve Bank of Boston, said in an
other address that he saw reason
for hope, not despair" in the historic
pricing policies of the large, concen-
trated industries.

added.

they thought it would be a gooc

Under terms of the Unificatior
Act, Secretary Forrestal was re.
quired to be sworn in not later than

Of a Pearl Harbor attack in the

The instructions sent by the Presi-
dent from the battleship Missouri,
bearing him homeward from the
Rio de Janeiro Conference on West
ern Hemisphere Security, came as
a surprise to many top-rank off,
cials.
Mr.. Truman himself said his &C.
cision to have Mr.. Forrestal sworn
in yesterday instead of awaiting the
Chief Executives return, ss origi-
nally planned, was because Of the
international situation.
Navy Explanation Differs.
This word, arriving late in the
day, contrasted with an earlier ex-
PLANTATION issued by the Navy. 1t
said that before Mr.. Truman's de
parture for Brazil it had been de-
cided that Mr.. Forrestal would be
sworn in about September Is "or
after the Presidents return, unless
all preliminary arrangements had
been completed earlier"
Since these preliminary arrange
ments had been completed" it was
decided to administer the oath to
Mr.. Forrestal yesterday, the Navy
said.
However. the midmorning an
nouncement of the noon swearing
in ceremony produced an air of
surprise at both the Army's Penta-
gon headquarters and at the Navy
Department.
Aides accompanying Mr.. Truman
were quick to tell reporters aboard
the Missouri that Mr.. Truman had
no particular development in mind
when he told the newsmen the
international situation prompted
his decision.
Situation Involves Russia.
Presidential Press Secretary
Charles G. Ross said the Chief Ex-
ecutive was thinking only of "the
whole general international situa-
ton"
That general situation includes
such problems as diplomatic argu-
ments with Russia in the United
Nations, conflicting interests be-
tween the Soviet Union and the
Western powers in the Balkans and
elsewhere, this countrys reiterated
pledge to aid democracies in resist
ing Communist aggression and the
United States sharply depleted mil
itary strength.
High-ranking military leaders have
stated publicly that this country's
armed forces are below requirements
needed to carry out American COM
mitments overseas, including oc-
cupation duties.
Mr.. Ross said there had been an
exchange of radio messages between
Mr.. Truman and Clark Clifford, the
Presidents special counsel, who flew
back to Washington from Rio, and
that these messages were followed
by staff meeting aboard the bat
tleship.
