/ the Public Utilities Commission
on Ohio by the Ohio. Bell Tele-

eral increase asked by the COM
pany in more than 20 years.
Company officials expressed
their regret that increased rates
were necessary and stated that
the nine per cent increase asked
is essential to continued good
service. Officials pointed out that
rates have actually been reduced
over the past 20 years.
Local rates increases listed in
the companys' application in

according to the number of tele-
phones which could be reached
without long distance change.

Double Talk
To Explain
Lack Of Oil
WASHINGTON, Feb. /

WASHINGTON, Feb. II
| InPA) - Labor economists
worrying over the problem OF
thousands of workers thrown
off their jobs last week be-
cause of the fuel shortage came
up against the following kind of
doubletalk:
A repres n ia tive of ESQ
Standard Oil Co. explain d
failure of big oil companies to
expand production capacity by
Saying that steel was the
stumbling block to expansion.
At the same time, the steel in
dustry publication Iron Age"
reported that "the current gas
and oil shortage has cut finished
steel output by more than 150,-
900 tons in the Pittsburgh area
alone"
The President of Sun Oil Co.
suggested wider use of natural
gas as a solution to the problem.
At the same time, 100000 auto
workers were made idle in
Detroit by the NATURAL gas short
age there. Representative Ross
Riley (R., Okla.) topped off the
weeks events by introducing a
bill to strip the Federal Power
Commission of all control of gas
production and rate control.
Rankin Needles Oil
Representative John E. Rankin
ID, Miss.) suggested sarcastic
ally in the House that New Eng
land and other areas short of
fuel "secede from the union and
got in under the Marshall plan. :"
Representative John w. Hessel.
ton (R., Mass) replied: "We are
.not prepared to accept that sug-
gestion, but if something isn't
done about getting fuel our
people are going to Secede us. :"
Meanwhile, home fuel users
continued to freeze in the east
and in the midwest, plants were
closed down in five states.
The Senate passed a $30,000,-
900 appropriation for demonstra-
ton plants making synthetic
fuel from coal and oil shale.
Some of the major oil interests
are opposing the plan suggested
by Interior Secretary julius
Krug for a SO billion synthetic
fuel program.
Three congressional commit
tees are now continuing hear
ings ON various aspects of the
oil shortage.

MIAMI (LPA) - The AFL
executive coucil wound up its
mid-winter meeting last week.
It added increased defense ap.
propriations to its endorsement
of the Marshall plan for the
protection of the US. Key points
in AFL's domestic program are
repeal of the Taft-Hartley Act
and passage by Congress of anti
initiation measures. After Burton
X. Wheeler rejected the direc-
torship of Labor's League for
Political Education, AFL leaders
instructed President Green and
Secretary Meany to move ahead
with its organization pending
selection at a meeting scheduled
for March.

Parties Split
On FEPC Bill

WASHINGTON, F e b. II
I1PA)-A loud storm of pro-
test by southern Democrat
members of Congress greeted
President Truman's message
on civil rights last week. TAX
ing advantage of this, COP
leaders hastened to push through
to the floor of the House bill
p punishing lynching, and the
Senate Labor Committee-on
vote which split both parties
adherents - approved the per-
manent FEPC bill.
There appeared to be only one
concrete action expires ssin g
southern hostility, so far as
Democratic Party circles were
concerned. Some fu n d S from
southern Jackson Day dinners
on Feb. 19 may be withheld from
the Democratic National Com
mittee. Chairman j. Howard
McGrath indicated that the DNC
approved of Truman's proposals.
More cynical Republicans in
dicated little hope that either
the anti-lynching bill or the
FEPC bill would get past a
southern Democrat filibuster in
the Senate. While the anti-lynch-
ing bill has official COP support,
it will encounter the loudest and
longest southern attack.
The FEPC bill was oppose d
in the Senate Labor Com.
mittee vote by COP leader
Robert A. Taft, Senator Joseph
Ball (R. Minn.) and Forrest
Donnell (R., Mo-, as well as
Democrats Allen j. Ellender
La.), Lister Hill (Ala.). Senator
Claude Pepper 3D., Fla) was
absent and gave no proxy.
The southern protest over
Truman's very complete message
on civil rights was called 'just
a little shin kicking within the
family" by Representative James
w. Trimble 3D., Ark.). However
other Democrats predicted that
the Southern Governors Confer
ence might act at their Florida
meeting this week.
The message, on the other
hand, was hailed by Co-Chair-
man A Philip Randolph of the
National Council for a Perma-
nent FEPC. at is up to the
Republican majority in Congress
to follow through and enact this
measure into law" he said.

bill as is for persons with in
comes over $1,000, save for tn,
flat $40 reduction, the Knutsor
bill grants them m p e sivt
bonuses. For example, under the
House bill the $10,000-a-yeal
man keeps $500 more than he
would under the Administra.
tion proposal, and million-a-yeal
men $4,000 more.
Also of greater benefit to high
than low income tax payers is
the Community property" fea-
ture, which permits husbands
and wives to divide the family
income for tax purposes.
Exemptions For Blind
Other features include in
rease d exemptions for the
blind, and people over IS, and a
reduction of the ceiling on the
amount that anyone may be
forced to pay in federal income
taxes from 85.5% to 77%.
The COP refused to entertain
an Administration proposal to
hold back part of the cut in
federal revenues by adding an
excess profits tax to its bill.
Democratic startegy was COM
plicated by the preference of
Doughton and other conservative
southerners for a m d f. e d
Republican measure rather than
all-out support of Truman's plan,
which was sponsored by Rep
Iresentative John Dingell (Mich)
Meanwhile, a joint House
Senate budget committee esti-
matd government receipts SO
billion higher than the President
anticipated, and slashed $2h
billion from the amount of ex-
penditure asked for in his budget
message.
Since the cut is in the form
of a budget ceiling of 1872
billion the cut for domestic gov
ernmental purposes and for the
Marshall plan will actually be
greater than SIS billion, as adj
ditional fund requests are ex-
pected from the White House,
including one for $500,000,00O
for al dto China.
Tabor For Reductions
Representative John T ber
(R, N.Y., who last year led
the fight to deprive labor-serv-
ing agencies of the federal gov
ernment of virtually all operat-
ing funds, has indicated that he
will press for even greater re-
ductions in domestic expendi-
lures than his colleagues on the
joint committee agreed to. Demo
Gratis, on the other hand, are
doubtful if the COP will actually
go through with VIII les ale
slashes in an election year.
One p o si b lie post-eleciids
COP idea TO fill the hole left in
the budget by its cut in the
federal revenues and its refusal
to go after excess profits was
r eve e d by Representative
Bertrand Gearhart (R., CALI /
Gearhart said that the whole
income tax system was fathered
by Karl Marx, and was inflicted
on America by such red-hot radi-
calls as Woodrow Wilson and
Cordell Hull. He wants to out
law the whole system. Only
possible replacement would be
federal sales tax.
