Interest Boost Proves
Truman Could Limit
Initiation, Taft Says
BY the Assoeiotsd Press

Senator TAFT, Republican. OF
Ohio said today the Treasury's
increase in interest rates on
short-term securities proves
President Truman all along has
had anti-inflation powers he did
not use.
With che President momentarilv
expected to pour it on the Republi-
can Congress for not giving him
more authority. the Ohio Senator
fired a parting blast in the cost-of-
living battle before taking off for
his summer home in Murray Bay,
Canada.
He said the TreaSury's action in
raising interest rates Ia of l per
cent should cut down many types of
loans and act as a brake on inf1a-
ton.
1T was the Presidents RESPONSE
bility this action wasn't taken be-
fore" Senator Taft told a re-
porter Il am told the Federal Re-
serve Bank Board urged long ago
that it be done, but the Treasury
wouldn't act
Truman Held Responsible.
Senator Taft, who heads his
party's Senatorial Policy Commit
tee, has commended that Mr.. Tru-
man must share the blame for
price rises because he has not
acted previously to curtain credit,
10 trim Government expenses or
to cut down exports of scarce
goods.
The Presidents friends said he.
IN turn, will lay full blame for
the high cost of living on the poll
cies of the Republican Congress in
approving the redit-restriction
bill passed by the special session
Mr.. Truman has until August 20
to deal with this bill, which tight
ems bank credits and revives time
payment buying curbs. But the in
dIcations are he will not wait that
long to fire away at the Repub-
licans-and the Democrats who
Joined them-in denying his re-
quest for priCeWage and rationine
controls.
Senator Pepper, Democrat. OF
Florida. who said the Republicans
seemed bent "on aiding the profit.
GERS and not the people, praisec
the Treasury's action on interest a.
step in the right direction.
Reluctance Is Defended.
by ITSELF he said, that actor
is not going to lower prices but il
should help by curtailing the pres.
ent expansion Of credit"
Defending what he said NIGH
seem to be a reluctant attitude
on the part Of the Treasury. thu
Florida Senator said he believes
the Government hesitated to in.
crease interest rates on any of it!
securities because that adds to the
cost of carrying the national debt
What this action amounts to is
the payment of an indirect subsidy
by the Government. through higher
interest rates. in an effort to help
keep prices down. he said.
While Mr. Truman is expected To
use some vigorous language in crit
icism of the credit restriction bill
his blast on a housing measure he
signed yesterday fell short of ad-
vance notices.
Omissions Are Noted.
The President described it as an
"emasculated housing bill' but said
he signed it because it would be of
some help in meeting the present
shortage of living quarters.
He complained that it denied
decent housing" to low income
families because it had no Govern
ment subsidy provisions for building
low-rental homes nor loans for local
construction of lum-clearance prof.
ects.
Senator Taft already has promise d
to push both of these projects in
the next Congress.

The meaning of our word Amer

The soul of our America Is its free

He said the greatness OF this Ma

cause the Russians refused to accept
majority proposals for an internas
tional atomic authority and be-
cause the majority rejected Soviet
conditions for an international
atomic accord.
When the commission started
work June IA, 1916, it received
American and Russian atomic pro-
posals.
The American program. intro
duced by Bernard M. Baruch, called
for establishment of an interna- :
tional atomic authority, which
would control atomic materials
from the mine to the finished
product.
Because of the world d-destroying
powers OF atomic energy, Americans
argued that anything less than
complete international atomic con-
trolls would fail to protect the peo-
Piles against the terrible new atomic
discoveries.
The Baruch proposals were sensa-
tlonal. because they cut across ma
tional sovereignties and constituted
a first step toward world govern
ment.
The Russian proposals, introduced
by Andrei A. Gromyko, called, first,
for the destruction and outlawry of
all atomic weapons, and. second, for
the negotiation of an international
atomic-control agreement.

10 End Control Efforts
. By Russell Barnes

LAKE SUCCESS, May THE
death knell Of United Nations hopes
to control atomic energy, including
the atomic bomb, is expected to be
sounded in the Atomic Energy Com
mission debates starting today.
The commission is meeting to
draft what probably will be a final
report to the Security Council, stat
ing tnat, after nearly two years
work, the commission has failed to
agree on international control of
atomic energy.
If the Atomic Commission does
give the Security Council such a
definitive report, as anticipated, the
world would be faced by these pos
sibilities:
Continuation and probable stim-
ulation of the international atomic
arms race.
Russian reversal of present in
transigeant attitude. which might
clear the way for a world atomic
accord.
Organization OF a western atomic
authority, which would mobilize
western uranium deposits, manu-
featuring facilities and research Or
ganizations against the Soviet bloc.
Possibilities Outlined.
What Is now apparently about to
occur. judging by previous pro-
ceedings OF the Atomic Commission,
is that the delegates will decide it
Is impossible to get anywhere with
atomic controls on the technical
level and they will pass the prob
