Taft and Martin Hit Back
At Criticism of Conqress

Both Senator Taft, Republican,
of Ohio and House Speaker Mar
tin have fired back again at Pres
ident Truman for his criticism OF
Congress.
Senator Taft, In a telephoned
talk from Washington to a New
York sales executives convention,

adopted unless 1t becomes apparent
that the House will stall until the
last minute before taking action on
the postal bill. 1t is considered bet
ter tactics to try and have the
House act first in order that the
Senate can speedily amend the leg
islation and send it to sympathetic
conferees.
Meanwhile, the Democratic men,
bers of the House Civil Service
Committee have issued a sharply
critical report of the House leader
ship over the handling Of pay raises.
The minority groups report said
the $3.50 pay boosts for postal
workers and $3.50 wage increase fol-
other Federal employees were not
enough.
These members contended that
the Republican leadership gave the
committee "a virtual ultimatum" tc
scale down the original $585 and
S468 measure to the $3.50 and $3.50
amounts.
G. o. P. Charges Politics.
ITO put it bluntly, in bringing
these measures before the House. the
Civil Service Committee has beer
used as a mere conduit to carry out
a mandate of the Policy Committee
of the majority party the minority
members charged.
Since, under the ultimatum which
brought these measures before the
House, they must either be rejected
or accepted as is. we cannot oppose
them without harm to hundreds OF
thousands of employees whose SAL
aries, reduced by living costs, no
longer meet the necessities of daily
living"
Republican members Of the COM
mittee brushed off the report as
plain politics" They accused their
Democratic colleagues of hurting
rather than helping" pay raise
prospects through the issuance OF
the minority report.

Truman Today al Stops
On Last Lap Of Trip
By Joseph A. Fox
Ssor Sioff Correspondent

ABOARD TRUMAN's SPECIAL
TRAIN, June 17.-President Truman
carried his back-platform stumping
tour into his native State today on
the last lap Of the trip to WASH
ington.
After an overnight stop at the
family home, the Presidents special
train departed from Independence,
Mo-, this morning. It's arrival in the
Capital Is scheduled for 1855 pm.
tomorrow, Then he will 60 to the
White House and dig into the work
the departing Congress is leaving.
Travelling east today. the Presi-
Dental train was scheduled to stop
in Warrensburg, Sedalia and JEFF
ferson City, all in Missouri. While
he Is slated to speak only at Jeffer-
son City, Missourians at the other
two places may hear him in in
formal talks.
To See Party Leaders.
Frank w. Hayes, Democratic
State chairman, has arranged a
turnout at Sedalia, and party lead
ers also are due to see the President
in st. Louis this afternoon. His
train will remain out in the rail-
road yards, instead of going to
Union Station. Mr.. Truman ex-
poets to come back to st. Louis
later for major campaign speech.
Back platform appearances also
are scheduled later today at two
Indiana stops-Terre Haute and
Indianapolis-and tonight in Co
lumbus, Ohio, perhaps. The Pres
ident estimates that on the 18-State
trip to the Northwest, he has talked
to about 2,50O,000 people in more
than so places Aides are anxious
for him to get away from Washing
ton for a short rest when he has the
Congressional business cleared up.
He probably will have a few days
between that time and the opening
of the Democratic National Conven-
ton July II.
Mr.. Truman got back home in
mid-afternoon yesterday, after cross
ing the wheatf1elds of Kansas and
talking to several crowds along the
route.
Praises william Allen White.
At Emporia, home of the late Will
liam Allen White. the President
stood on the rear Of his train and
signed a resolution authorizing a
Scent stamp honoring the noted
Kansas editor.
The President praised Mr. White
and his son, William L. White, who
succeeded his father as head Of The
Emporia Gazette, declaring them to
be on the liberal side"
That Is what came out here to
tell you people, that there are nc
issues but one, and that is the is
sue whether special privilege shall
run the country, or whether the
people shall run the country" the
President asserted.
The President took the paddle to
Congress, as usual. for its attitude
on domestic legislation. but he en-
phasized that foreign affairs are
being conducted on nonpartisan
basis.

the United States has not gotten

trary power and unlimited ability
to spend money"
Pursuing the same theme, Speaker
Martin said In radio broadcast
from Capitol Hill that the President
''is apparently provoked because TINS
Congress refused to blindly follow
his dictates, to rubber stamp MS
wild and reckless schemes and his
leftwing plans for Government con-
troll Of everything in America.
He said that with the Republicans
in control, Congress has reversed

state socialism and eventual ma
tional bankruptcy"
Mr.. Martin described the present
Congress as the best and most

years."

were rejected by the Senate last
week.
The committee amendment for
postponing inductions also aroueed
sharp debate, as did the Shafer
amendment to put off the law until
January 81, following the presiden-
tial Inauguration.
Kilday Defends Amendment.
Representative Miller, Republican,
of Nebraska described the commit
tee amendment as a "sugar-coated
pill" and a device to stall the draft
machinery until few days before
election" He said the January 81
proposal would be fairer and would
take it out of politics"
Representative Carroll, Democrat,
of Colorado opposed both amend
ments and declared: I'VE ought to
have the courage to face our per-
sonal responsibility. We should vote
for the draft bill or not vote for it.
How can we avoid the charge OF
playing politics if we dodge the re-
sponsibility that belongs to Con-
gress and not the President. Don't
run out because you're afraid OF
being defeated in the election"
Defending the committee amend
ment, Representative Kilday, DEM
ocrat, of Texas, explained its only
effect would be to postpone induc-
tions which, in any event, probably
could not be started for about rs
or sc days.
Before agreeing to the amend
ment the House shouted down a
proposal by Representative Multer,
Democrat, of New York to extend
the 75-day limit to $50 days. That
would have put off inductions until
shortly after the November election.
The CIO declared today in letters
to all members of Congress that the
pending draft bills might be inter-
preted as giving inductees re-em-
ployment rights superior to those
granted men who served during the
war. 1t asked that the re-employ-
ment provision be clarified"

GE Increases Prices
5 10 1296, Lays Action
To Wage Increases
by the Assoeiofed Press

NEW YORK, June 1.-THE Gen.
eral Electric Co. has ordered price
increases-ranging from S to IL per
cent - for numerous household
articles and industrial products.
Charles E. Wilson, company pres
ident. said yesterday the price in
creases will be effective Immediately.
He said the move was made neces-
sary by wage increases, higher
freight rates and higher costs of
materials.
The company last week granted
an 8 per cent pay increase to 1885,
900 members of the C1O United
Electrical Workers employed at GE
plants across the country.
Products Are Listed.
The higher prices will be tagged
on a variety of items ranging from
refrigerators to small electric motors.
Mr.. Wilson said, however. that
many articles produced by the COM
pany are not affected.
Other products included on the
new price lists are electric ranges,
water heaters, standard washing
machines, table-model television
sets, electric mixers, switchgear and
distributor transformers.
Mr.. Wilson said company produc-
ton costs have risen about So, ,000,-
900 since the concern cut prices by
a total of $60,o00,o00 last January
and April.
New Increases Not Considered.
He said the price increases "in no
way provide for still higher costs
which may result from wage de-
mands from suppliers,"
General Electric reported a net
income of S25 1888, ,149 for the March
quarter this year, an increase over
the s17,91S, ,591 reported in the first
quarter last year.
The income for the three months
