TRUMAN SIGNS INITIATION BILL;
PROTESTS OVER |NsUFF|C|ENCY';
SAYS LAW WILL NOT LOWER PRICES

Washington, ID. C.-P d e n
Truman branded the anti-inflation
bill passed by Congress as feeble
steps toward the control of infla-
tion," but signed the measure be-
cause it contained some provisions
"that are needed now"
Protesting against the "obvious
insufficiency" of the legislation, Mr..
Truman declared the bill is "piti-
fully inadequate as weapon
against the high cost of living"
He said:
"This bill will not reduce the
high cost of living and it will not
keep prices from going even higher.
"The meager authority contained
in the bill will be utilized to the
fullest extent by the Government,
but the public must not be misled
into believing that this bill will do
the job"
The President, warned that infla-
tioin and the high cost of living con-
front the American people with a
grave DANGER" called upon Con-
gress to enact IAN effective, work
able program" when it reconvenes.
Mr.. Truman declared:
"Unchecked initiation can bring
on a serious depression that can
cause untold hardship.
"The legislative n d executive
branches of the Government must
work together if this grave peril is

"The American people look to

WHEN THE DRAMA
is OVER
Rambling Thoughts By The
Philosopher

Your chances of great success in
life depend ultimately on how you
are able to answer this question:
Can you keep on working just as
hard after the drama has ended
What I mean is this:
A sustained appreciation of a
dramatic situation is impossible.
The most dramatic event be-
comes matter-of-fact if held long
enough.
Suppose right now while you are
in the middle of reading this edi-
torial someone touches you on the
shoulder and notifies you of your
election to the presidency of the
company for which you work.
Instantly you appreciate the dra-
matte situation and dramatize your
self. You see the romance of
achievement, the glamor of success.
You picture the headlines in the
local paper: From Clerk to Presi-
dent-Dramatic Rise of Local Man, u
etc. You visualize yourself in d
heroic role.
And all this would be true
enough.
But after the flowers and the
speeches you would settle down to
work.
AS the days and we eks and
months slipped by, the drama would
fade and the position be taken for
granted.
You might then find that while
you might think of the drama of it,
you would have to think of the
work and all it's details.
Then the routine, the drudgery,
the constant attention demanded by
the job would a orb all your
thought.
1t is easy to work hard under the
exhilaration of seeing yourself in
great dramatic role. But when. the
dramatic import of the situation
fades out and it becomes matter
of-fact, the drudgery of the work
remains.
Then comes the test of a mans
real character, the proof Of wheth'
er he really desires to be great or
only to seem great.
A famous war correspondent once
said that the quality about great
men that always impressed him
was the frequency with which they
engaged in mountaineering &C,
tions without seeming to sense the
superlatively dramatic roles they
were playing.
They were giving their whole at
tention to the job. They kept on
Arizona sun., 1948-01-09

authority to allocate transportation
facilities, and authorization for ex-
pansion of the conservation pro-
gram and measures designed to
stimulate food production in foreign
countries.
The bill which the President said
he would sign does not include the
authority he sought to regulate con-
sumner and business credit, to con-
troll the distribution of scarce COM
modities. to extend and strengthen
rent control, and to use rationing
and price control over "selective"
segments of the economy.
The heart of the measure is a
provision encouraging i n d u tr y,
business and agriculture to enter
into voluntary agreements with the
government, under antitrust i'm
munity, for the sharing of scarce
commodities.
President Truman said it was
'''far too late" to rely on such volun-
tary means. He said he and other
government officials have tried to
pei . uduO 1nuuOCly W "QhC NOAuA
tary price reductions but that these
efforts "have been wholly insuffici-
ent to stem the tide of rising
prices"
He also noted that the govern
ment has used voluntary programs
to try to encourage conservation.
But, he admitted, they have demon
strated that voluntary measures are
not sufficient to insure fair shar-
ing and the most effective use Of
vital commodities which are critic
ally scarce"
The bills voluntary provision, he
complained, gives the government
no authority to protect the interests
of the people or force into line any
industry representative whorefuses
to make an agreement.
To emphasize the need for i'm
mediate strong action to curb in
flation, Mr.. Truman cited examples
of price increases which have oc-
cured in the weeks since he made
his request to Congress.
