Tydings supposedly had no interest in American Potask, the company which Larson ruled against when it sought to buy the Governments Kalunite plant in Utah.
 However, here is what Tydings did not tell his fellow Senators:
 Tydings' hrother-in law, former Brig. Gen. John M. Eager. hap pens to represent the Heyden Chemical Corporation, large stockholder of American Potash. Furthermore, it was Eager who actually signed the letters on be- half of American Potash protest ing the fact that it did nor ,et the Kalunite plant.
 Yet Tydings said he had no per- sonal interest in the matter.
 Perhaps in Maryland a brother in-laW isn't considered personal.

Your Wages Increase
Cincinnati. Enquirer

tClncnnatl. EnQuUerl
 There has been much talk about the likelihood Of widespread industrial disturbances if there is third round" of wage increases Has anyone in high union councils or elsewhere, stopped to think that the re- ducton in Federal income taxes just granted by the Republican Congress constitutes very material wage or income incease for the average family?
 Under the terms of this tax reduction take-home pay"-which after all is the important thing-s ap- preciaby higher The cut is effective on all this years revenue lower deductions under the withholding tax setup became effective as of May l.
 Each individual may gauge for himself or herself how much of an effective increase in pay is caused bv the tax reduction. To many millions of WorKers it means being freed entirely from Federal income tax deductions In the case of all others it means pay check higher by some dollars than they have been accustomed to getting under the old tax rate Heaos of families will find that the community property feature which permits halving of reported income between husband and wife will be valuable boon in saving dollars for groceries and other living costs
 One of the biggest advantages of the income tax reduction is that it increases the effective income Of all-not just those in strong unions, but everyone who works There has been serious element of rea- tive injustice in many of the previous rounds of wage increases in that they benefited some of the popua ton but actually made the cost of living worse on others especially those with fixed incomes not subject to annual union negotiation.
 Perhaps the greatest present economic advantage of this increase in take-home pay is that it gives everyone income without of necessity increasing the cost of goods living When round" of wage increases granted it always involved a cycle of step-ups in the cost of commodities and products
 Congress insisted upon the tax reduction despite the administratons contention that it bad eco- monies. The administration however always has favored wage increases And the present tax reduc- tion takes the form of very valuable-and not up- setting-effective wage increase.

first by Senator Johnson would restrict illustrations in liquor advertising facsmiles of bottles labels The second, and in opinion sinister is Senator Reeds endeavor to ban all liquor wine and advertising suggesting that of such beverage lis beneficial to health contributes to physical up building, will increase social business standing or prestige is traditional in American family life is or should be part of the atmosphere of the Amer can home.
 One does not have to be apostle of the liquor interests to see the fallacy in such attack. For there is but a short distance between this type of restriction on liquor and revival of blanket prohib- ton; likewise the control type of advertising would precedent for controls the advertising of other products that deemed sinful There is big difference between such artificial restrictions and those imposed by the Federal Trade Commission for harmful misleading advertising of specific prod ucts on the basis of objective tests. Liquor is not harmful per SC; it is its abuse that makes is The same may be said of a host of other items such as tobacco or even chocolate bars
 This does not that liquor should escape all restraints. It is quite properly taxed as luxury distributed through control boards in areas and subject to grain aocations during food shortages There are right restrictions liquor advertising in the standards of copy acceptability imposed by newspapers well in the sefrestraint of the in dusry itself The point is that to formalize into law restrictions on such advertising would shift to the Federal Government responsibility which in the last analysis is one for self-dscipline. The basic flaw in campaigns of this sort it to us is that they would serve to halt the abuses arising from over indulgence but merely would invite all the additional clandestine abuses which the country voted to end in 1883

publican Senate may want to think this over.
 On top Of tals is the fact that when the Justice Department was probing the Louisiana scandals, John Rogge unearthed the fact that S125, 900 had been paid by United Gas Improvement Corp, an Electric Bond and Share subsid- iary, to Tom Hill, big New Or leans gambler, who in turn passed part of the money on to Governor Dick Leche, part to LoulSlana's s new Senator, William Feazel, and kept part for himself.
 Reason for this unusually large payment by big Corporation to three interesting Louisiana figures never was revealed. For about that time Roosevelt threw cold water on the Louisiana probe. How ever, the present Republican Sen- ate may want to continue the un- finished story of Louisiana where the Justice Department left off.
 Note-Governor Long would like to appoint his nephew, Russell Long, eldest son of the late Huey Long, to the Senate. But Russell is only 29, and under the law a U. s. Senator must be thirty. There fore it's reported that Feazel will make way for Russell later.

PLANS AND ACTION

According to word from Washington legislation which would repeal power of the Interior Department to set aside Alaska lands for Indian reservations IS being held up in the Senate Public Lands Committee as the result of pressure exered by the Interior De- partment
 Other legislative efforts toward elimination of the aboriginal claims block to Alaskan development, nave been continually hampered by Interior Department officials.
 Meanwhile this department comes up periodically with grand schemes the industrial development of Alaska Unfortunately of these grand plans ever materialize.
 The loss of expected pulp mill development as result Indian claims originated by the Interior Department clearly shows that the problem of settle ment of the aboriginal claims ranks as the main ob- stacle to the industrial development of the Territory
 Until the problem is dealt with, nothing else can be accomplished So far the Interior Department has done nothing toward the settlement of these false claims.
 Today Alaska gets by because it happens to be strategic military outpost and the Federal Government is spending millions of dollars in building up defense
 But Alaska is losing ground in its struggle for sound basic industrial development

LEWIS CAPTIVE SENATOR

John L. Lewis has sometimes be- rated the big steel companies for having captive" coal mines. but it looks as ii John now had captive" Senator-namely, Eugene Millikin of Colorado.
 For months Millikin has been blocking Senate confirmation of Dr. James Boyd as chief of the Bureau of Mines, due to the fact that John L. Lewis is opposed. Boyd was former dean of the Col orado School of Mines and cleared with Millikin before his appoint ment. The Interior Department phoned Millikin, asked if he object ed to Boyd-they come from the same state and Millikin said O. K.
 That, however, was before the Colorado Republican knew John L. Lewis was opposed. Lewis named the last director of the Bureau of Mines, Dr. R. R. Savers, also had his own brother planted in- side the Bureau at juicy salary until Secretary of the Interior Krug cleaned them both out. But now with Senator Millikin's help Lewis wants his control back again.
 Note-Dr. Boyd, who has several children, has been periodically serving the Government without pay since last summer. Lewis hopes he will soon starve out.

MODEST MIKE MoNRoNEY

It was like Congressman > Mike Monroney of Oklahoma never to breathe a word about the fact that President Truman offered him the job of Secretary of Agriculture. However, he did-just after Clin- ton Anderson resigned.
 It was also like Monroney that he turned the offer down. His re- fusal was on the very simple ground that he didn't know enough about agriculture or the farmers point of view.
 "All my life" he told Truman, T have spent defending the con- sumer and thinking about his point of view. Therefore, l just wouldn't be a good man to cham pion the farmers"
 So, without staying word to anyone, Monroney, one of the most respected men ir Congress, has gone back to the job of battling for his constituents.

ton to grant Federal employees
an average $650-a-year pay
raise.
The committee also reported out
a separate postal pay bill, granting
a fiat $500 a year pay increase to
postal employees.
1t was learned that the commit
tee was sharply split on the amount
of the pay raise in both measures,
and several committee members
predicted that the bills would face
a tough fight on the Senate floor in
their present forms.
The vote on both bills was 7 to 2,

the measures did so despite their
belief that the amounts were too
high.

Leaders Due to Testify
BY the Asseciated Press

Henry A. Wallace was called
a Russia firster" today by James
F. O'Neil, national commander
of the American legion.
Mr.. O'Neil criticized the former
Vice President while urging support
of universal military training. He
appeared before the Senate Armed
Services Committee studying need
for a limited draft and UNIT laws
to strengthen the military forces.
William Green, president of the
American Federation of Labor, and
spokesmen for the CIO and other
labor groups were to be heard later
today.
Mr. ONeil said some opponents
of UNIT may be entirely sincere
in their stand. He said the strong
est opposition came from those
prompted by selfish interests or who
either knowingly or innocently, are
prompted and inspired by the great
est enemy of our country and the
peace of the world today-commu-
nism."
Must Halt Red Expansion.
"The best example of this latter
group" he said, was the testimony
by the so-called presidential
candidate, Henry A. Wallace, a
Russia -firster.' who f1outed every
good American citizen when he said
" he would welcome the sup
port of Communists in his cam
paign. ="
Mr.. ONeil, who is from Man

to halt Russian expansion. He
added:
