Banker Says Reserve
Requirements Hint
Money Policy Conflict
By Edword G. Stone
stor sfoff Correspondent

WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, w.
Va, June 4.-Action by the Federal
Reserve Board in raising member
bank reserve requirements in New
York and Chicago evidently reflects
a difference of opinion with the
Treasury on monetary policy, George
B. Roberts, vice president OF the
National City Bank of New York,
today told the District Bankers As
sociation convention here.
Mr. Roberts was critical OF the
Reserve Boards move.
1T is difficult to see the appro-
propriateness of this particular &C
ton since such credit expansion as
has occurred recently has been out
side of the central reserve cities" he
declared.
Both Treasury and Federal Re-
serve Board action at this juncture
smack of a political rather than an
economic approach to the credit
control problem"
His Treasury reference was to the
recent failure to advance the GER
tifcate rate, suspending for the time
being at least the Treasury's f1rmer
money policy.
Urges Federal Spending Cut.
Mr.. Roberts made vigorous ap-
peal for "a substantial reduction in
Government spending and ques-
toned whether American principles
of life and government can survive
the tax load, the progressive destruc-
ton of the local and personal sense
of responsibility and the dwindling
value of the currency which goes
along with a spendthrift govern
ment."
Preston Delano, Controller of the
Currency, declared the banks must
remain exceptionally strong to- be
ready for any emergency that might
arise in these critical times.
IF we look at the balance sheets,
statements of condition of earnings
and dividends and the examination
reports in our Office, we have some
reason for satisfaction, he said.
THE figures look good, but under

lying this technical situation are
the grave difficulties of the times.
1--WE have a state of tension. With
net debt of some $252 ,000, 900 900,
a budget expected to reach over $4o,-
O00, 900, 900 for the ensuing year,
practically no unemployment and a
tremendously high price level, there
may be danger ahead.
Fear Demands in Crisis.
There is grave danger another
serious depression might bring de-
mands for social and economic re-
forms more severe than those that
faced us in 1888 We hope no such
crisis comes, but we must realize
that, if it does, the banking system
must be strong enough to resist the
attack which will be made on it,
and particularly those which will
be aimed at banking socialization. >
Without monetary reforms in
many European countries, American
assistance could not achieve its pur-
pose in re-establishing monetary
stability, J. Burke Knapp, State
Department Official, told the
bankers.
The United States Government
is taking into consideration the
progress being made by these coun-
tries in stabilizing currencies, main
tanning a valid rate of exchange
and balancing governmental budg-
cts, he said.
Sees Influence Exerted.
The United States, by withhold
ing it's agreement to the expend-
iture of relief funds, or by influenc-
ing the manner by which these
funds are spent, may exercise a
significant influence on the de-
velopment of monetary and credit
conditions in many European
countries, Mr. Knapp asserted.
The convention honored Francis
G. Addison, jr., Ernest E. Herrell
and l.. Bert Nye, who have attended
every one of the 80 conclaves.
Special tribute was paid the late
Hilleary G.. Hoskinson, a former
president of the association.

A Few Words To The Wise .'.}. :.
Sponsored by inc Valley Ministerial Association)

We, the ministers of the Val ley, greet you with the hope that this column will give you a lift along life's way. We hope that you will turn to it regularly and that you will be frank with your criticism, but that you also will give us encouragement if we deserve it.
 Words! How carelessly we toss them around, both in writing and speaking. Do we realize fully how much good or much evil we can cause just by the use of words?
 An unkind word is said and the damage is done, for al- though the word and what is im- piled may be forgiven, it cannot be forgotten.
 Boys flying kites haul in
 their white-winged birds. You can't do that when you
 are flying words! Thoughts unexpressed may
 sometimes fall back dead, But God Himself can't recall
 them, once they're said." But if this is true about un- kind words, it also is true about kind, encouraging words. Don't be sparing with your kind words. They leave the person to whom you address them infinitely richer and do not leave you any poorer.

And Fines Set Record
BY the Associated Press

The Governments drive against
tax evasion is rolling up new records
in collections, indictments and con-
victions.
The Internal Revenue Bureau re-
ported yesterday that it assessed
81 1892, 167, 900 in extra taxes and pen
alties last year, jump OF $482, 1877
900 over 1946's previous record.
The Government also racked up
nearly 100000 more in fines as
sessed in criminal evasion cases. It
scored a record of IS per cent con-
victions in trying 267 persons.
A backlog of future cases was
laid up by indictment of 373 persons
and by investigations of more than
1000 cases that will result in still
further indictments.
Only about $25O,oo0,000 of the
extra taxes and civil penalties COL
lected came from persons convicted
in court.
Many more people came across
with much more money without
prodding. The bureau does not
prosecute when it gets Q voluntary"

THE United States State De-

published German documents,
notes and memoirs of German
diplomatists. Supplied with the
enigmatic title, 'Nazi-Soviet Re
lations, 1939-1941', the aims of
this publication are quite obvious.
American business men are

Wendell Willkie was nominated in
1940-the big Pennsylvania delega-
ton was out caucusing at the time
the convention was voting for Mr..
Willkie. The delegation had stuck
to its favorite son candidate-the
then Gov. James-although 1t was
obvious he had no chance of the
nomination
Martin May Be Favorite Son.
This year 1t is expected that Sen
ator Martin of Pennsylvania will be
the States favorite son candidate.
Senator Martin recently attacked
the European Recovery Program. If
the leadership has its way, Phila-
delphia will not see another Penn
sylvania delegation making futile
gestures while the party's presiden-
tial candidate is selected. If it's to
be Gov. Dewey, Pennsylvania will
not be on the outside. If it Is not
to be Gov. Dewey, Pennsylvania ex-
poets to throw its weight to the sue
cessful candidate-and perhaps to
make him successful.
In support of his contention that
the United States must take the re-
sponsibility for world leadership
Gov. Duff said fatty: During this
period of acute worldwide confusion
and distress, we in America have
succeeded to. the leadership of that
world" He admitted that many
Americans do not relish the new po-
sition of the country, but I'VE can
not divest ourselves of that leader
ship whether we like it or not"
Europe Must Have Dollars.
"The $40 million people in West
ern Europe, plus the 40 million of
us, are together responsible for al
most all the high attainments of
modern civilization" he continued
"Since this is so we dare not allow
Western Europe to become the vic
tim of their present terrible predica-
ment. With the Red Army at the
front door and the Russian fifth
column at the rear, there can be no
doubt that, unaided, they will in
evitably succumb to this double
pressure.
Someone has said that Europe
cannot be saved with dollars. While
it is true that dollars alone will
not save Europe, it is equally true
that Europe canont be saved with
out dollars.
Surely we have not forgotten that
the worldwide depression of the
1905 developed in considerable part
as the result of our withdrawal of
support to Europe before they had
sufficiently recovered from the
effects of World War l." he said.

Ewing Calls Meeting
OF 800 Here 10 Study
National Health Plan

Oscar r. Ewing, Federal Security
Administrator, last night summoned
300 civic leaders to meet here May
in a National Health Assembly
to establish a 10-year health pro-
gram for the American people.
Mr.. Ewine's action was in response
to President Truman's health mes
sage OF January 30. in which the
President asked for a repcr+ on
! feasible goals" which might be
realized In the next decade.
The aesemhiy's lob. as outlined
last night by the administrator.
will be:
ITO see what we have-to know
accurately the health facilities and
personnel of the Nation and of each
community.
ITO determine what we need: the
difference between The two will show
us our health deficits.
ITO devise feasible methods Of
meeting these deficits"
Snecial Room for Argument.
Not barred from discussion at the
health conference, Mr.. Ewing indi-
Gated, will be the controversial irsue
CT Nationel health Insurance, favor
ed b" the administration and OPP
passed by leaders of the American
Medical Association.
The Federal Security Admins
traitor told reporters with a smile
that special room will be set aside
at the assembly where any one in
terested in the topic can argue his
views.
But the main purpose of the as
sembly, he said. will be to discover
those health projects that have
general support among the con-
ferees. and then to go back to the
grass roots" to arouse community
interest in health improvement.
The assembly will continue for
four days.
Twenty-four persons have been
invited by Mr.. Ewing to form an
executive committee to help Federal
Security Agency draw up plans for
the health conference. which will
consist largely of panel discussions.
Committee Members Listed.
Among those named to the COM
mittee were DR.. George F. Lull,
secretary of the American Medical
Association; Eric Johnston, president
of Motion Picture Producers and
Distributors of America: Philip Muir
ray and William Green, the labor
leaders; Earl o. Shreve, president
of the United States Chamber of
Commerce; Walter White, secretary
of the National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People, and
Mrs. Eugene Meyer, wife of the
chairman of the board of the Wash
ington Post.
"One important thing that we
hope will come out of the assembly,"
observed Mr.. Ewing, SIS a clearer
picture of just how much agree
ment there is in certain supposedly
controversial health fields. I have
an idea we are going to find that
these areas of agreement are larger
than many people think. Once we
have that established, we can find
out how far we can all go forward
on a Nationwide front"
President Humans health mes
sage, he recalled, advised the Fed
eral Security administrator that in
the agency's national
health program for the next decade,
you will undoubtedly wish to confer
with interested persons both in and
out Of the Government"

ISieeIworkers 10 Begin
Drafting Pay Demand
AT Farley Tomorrow
BY the Associated Press

J. . D " ~ VI II, GU. II
Philip Murray, president, and
other top strategists of the CIO-
United Steelworkers Union begin
conferences here Monday to
draft new wage demands.
No tentative wage increase figure
has been disclosed. Union spokes-
men ridiculed any suggestion they
would be Influenced by the slump in
the commodity markets and recent
price decreases in some grocery
lines. One source said 1t was too
early to tell If the price drops would
be permanent.
A Steelworkers Executive Board
meeting Monday will be followed
on Wednesday by session of the
Wage Policy Committee. The .Ex-
ecutive Board consists Of interna-
tiona1 officers and district presi-
dents. The wage policy group is
made up of the Executive Board
and representatives from union To-
Gals in all SO districts. The Wage
Policy Committee must ratify the
plans of the Executive Board. but
that approval has been a mere for
mality In recent years.
Steel Industry Silent.
"Steel Labor" the union publica-
ton, has told the unions $4,000
members that: 1.-THE Wage Policy
Committee will haye a mountain of
evidence before it to prove that the
industry can easily afford to boost
wages"
Steel industry sources have main
tanned a close silence on the inn
pending third round" of wage de-
mands since VI day.
The Nations unionized steelWork-
ers now earn an average of $l54 an
hour, according to union figures.
The United States Steel Corp. re-
Gently said average weekly earnings
among it's production employees stood
at S61.34 as of October, 1947.
Contracts May Be Reopened.
Present contracts held by the
union with all major steel producers
permit wage clauses to be reopened
April /, 194S, although the pacts do
not expire until the spring of 1919.
The union is expected to request a
reopening of wage negotiations after
the Pittsburgh sessions.
The contracts provide that II
agreement in wage negotiations Is
not reached within 80 days, present
pay scales remain in effect for
another year. Both sides agree they
are bound by mo strike" pledges IN
current pacts.
The union has estimated 1948
steel industry profits at 100000, 900
as result of recent price increases
"over and above the fantastic profits
realized in 1947 when all previous
records we're smashed" The union
put 1947 earnings at nearly $780,
100000 after taxes.
Anti-Red Pledge May Be Studied.
Another topic which may come up
during the meetings is the reluct-
ance of high CLIO officials to sign
the nom Communist affadavits which,
the Taft-Hartley Law requires FROM
officers desiring to use the services
Of the National Labor Relations
Board.
A steelworkef spokesman said the
subject was not on the 'agenda but
might be discussed. Mr.. Murray,
who also heads the CLIO has de-
,lared his complete opposition-on
principle-to signing such affadavitss
Other speculation centered around
the possibility that Mr.. Murray
might lead the policy-making group
into a stand against leftist elements
in Go unions.
