Truman Urges Congress To Act On
Prices, Housing. Toff-Horfley Law

Washington-In a message de-
livered to the special session of
Congress, President Truman called
for immediate action to control in
flation and to provide more hous-
ing to meet the urgent needs of
the American people"
In addition to these top priority
issues, the President advocated re-
peal of the unfair and unsound"
Taft Hartley law, and the establish
ment of a national health insur-
ance program.
While emphasizing that nothing
should interfere with swift cOnsid-
Grafton of the twin problems, the
increasing cost of living and the
housing shortage, the Chief Exc
cutive urged a board legislative
program following the lines of
the platform adopted at the Dem
ocratic National Convention.
Included in the Presidents re-
quest for legislative action were
providing for: Federal aid
to education; an increase in the
minimum wage to at least rs cents
an hour; lifting of benefits under
the social security system, and ex-
tension of coverage to additional
workers; amendment of the Dis
placed Persons Act; granting of a
loan to the United Nations for the
of its headquarters;
of the International
Wheat Agreement; Federal aid to
increase the supply of electric pow
er; elimination of the discrimina-

Washington-On the heels of its
report that wholesale prices had
broken through the previous peak
level following World War, |, the
Bureau Of Labor Statistics announ-
ced further rise in its consumers
price index for the period ending
June Is.
Paced by continuing jumps in
the price of food, the index moved
upward or per cent in a month to
its highest recorded level of 171.7,
9.3 per cent higher than a year
ago, 28.8 per cent more than in
June, 1916, and TAI percent above
the August, 1889, level.
The latest figures released by
the BIS on retail prices do not
include anl measurement of the
recent advances in meat prices,
nor the price boosts announced by
the steel, automobile and coal in
dustries. These will all exert con-
siderable pressure in lifting the
index to even dizzier heights.
Commenting on the outlook for
consumers in the months to come,
Evan Clague, U. S. Commissioner
for Labor Statistics, offered little
comfort for the millions of Ameri-
cans caught in an economic squeeze
between soaring living costs and
inadequate incomes. He said the
cost of living will go still higher
this summer, but that there may be
a slight downtrend by fall and
winter.
Mr.. Clague said that food prices,

Green Is Charter Member
Of New Civil Rights Units

New York-AFL President Will
liam Green is a member of the
newly organized National Citizens
Council on Civil Rrights, founded
by 48 religious, educational, civic
and business leaders.
The primary aim of the new
group will be to promote the es-
tablishment of a permanent gov
ernmental commission on civil
rights.
Declaring that "the American
heritage of civil rights must be
kept before the American people
as non-partisan, non political is
sue" and that full civil rights "can
best be won in each mans back
yard" the council warned that if
America failed to justify itself as
a spiritual leader, the free peoples
of the world twill despair and drift
away from freedom"

FTC Warns Of Trend To coLecfivism
In Concentration Of Economic Power

Washington-Th Federal Trade
Commission warned that unless
something is done to stem the un-
bridled growth of large industrial
business giants, this nation will be
forced to abandon the free enter
prise system in its economic life.
: In a report to Congress urging
that steps be taken to plug the
loopholes in the Clayton Antitrust
Act, the FTC's report declared that
"no stretch of the imagination is
required to foresee that if nothing
is done to check the growth in con-
centration, either the giant corpor-
ations will ultimately take over the
country, or the government will be
impelled to step in and impose some
form of direct regulation in the
public interest"
"In either event." the FTC re-
port added, "collectivism will have
triumphed over free enterprise, and
the theory of competition will have
been relegated to the limbo of we'll
intentioned but ineffective ideals.
The commission believes that the
economic forces, on which it has
been basing it's warnings, require
that definite choice be made
Either this country is going down
the road to collectivism, or it must
stand and fight for competition as
the protector of all that is embodied
in free enterprise"
The FTC's primary concern is
with the loophole in the Clayton
Act which permits corporations to
purchase the assets rather than Tor
in addition toy the stock of COM
peting firms. This evades the orr
ginal intent of Congress "to ar
rest the creation of monopolies in

kiIIen To. Resign
In Protest Over
jap Lubor Decree

Tokyo, Japan-James S. Killen
chief labor adviser to Gen. Douglas
Macarthur, declared he would re-
sign in protest against new oc-
cupation labor policy for Japan,
according to newspaper reports.
AFL headquarters in Washing
ton has received no direct reports
.on the situation from Mr.. Killen up
to the time this edition went to
press.
Killen, who is on leave of alb
sence from his post as vice-presi-
dent of the AFL's Brotherhood of
workers, was quoted as follows by
Pulp, Sulphite, and Paper Mill
the New York Times:
"I propose to resign because |
cannot adjust myself to the new
occupation labor policy which de-
nies government workers the right
of collective bargaining"
The new occupation policy of
no-strikes for government workers
was announced by General MacAr-
thur in letter to Prime Minister
Hitoshi Ashida. There have been
numerous strikes by government
workers, particularly in the field of
communications, under the occu-
patton.
Mr.. Killen's statement insisted
that the question of strikes in the
government "is not an issue in this
matter" but the right of govern
ment workers to bargain collective
ly.

Work StOppage Rise;
June Totals Above Nav

Washington The number of
work stoppages in June rose to 80
as compared with 275 in both April
and May, according to a report re-
leased by the Bureau of Labor Sta
tistics.
The total of stoppages and the
number of workers involved ex-
ceeded the average reported for
June in the period 1935-39, the
BIS figures showed. They COM

ernment employees with respect to
the recently approved pay raise;
and enactment of civil rights legis-
lation.
To control initiation, the Presi-
dent resubmitted, in strengthened
form, his original program which
the Congress failed to enact at the
special session called in November,
1947. On the housing front, Mr..
Truman urged immediate passage
of the Taft -Ellender- Wagner bill
which he said is a good housing
bill"
Warming that "world peace de-
pends upon the strength of our
economy" Mr.. Truman declared
at would be reckless folly if we
failed to act against initiation
Attacking those who advocated the
lifting of controls two years ago on
the ground that production would
increase and drive prices down, the
message to Congress said:
"The record showss Enthusiastically
that this argument was false.
production was increased some
what, and we want it to increase
still more. But even with full en-
full use of available ma
terials, and practically full use of
plant capacity, all of which we have
today, prices are still climbing fast
er than production. 1t is obvious
that we cannot rely solely on more
production to curb high prices. In

He said that this bill was "far
beyond the powers of congress to

This point was brought out as
the senator expressed his opposi-
ton to the passage Of anti-lynch-

a law would be a violtion of states
rights.

in the fight for justice to all
American citizens.
"There can be no real civil

merits instead of the false yard
sticks Of race, creed, color or ma
tionality."

not have to dwell on racial and
tolerance themes. He plans west
ems, mysteries, and excerpts from
famous shows for his new cast.
A revealing feature of Menkin's
plans was the response he re-
ceived from business men in the
vicinity of the station. Most said
it was a good idea. A few asked
why he was attempting to make
Negroes radio actors. The answer
was, "why not?"
