HOW PRICES DEFZA7E
Consumer Resistance Does It

Those same forces which recently
knocked down prices of food and
other commodities in a spectacular
outburst have been quietly at work
all during the past year.
Rising supply in number of lines
of goods has caught up with de-
mand, and in some cases it has
bumped into demand and money
supplies on their way down, accord
ing to an analysis by the family
economics bureau of Northwestern
National Life Insurance company.
Poultry, eggs, potatoes, oranges,
canned fruit juices, certain canned
fruits and vegetables, preserves and
jellies all have had little private re-
cessions Of their own during the
past year. BY the end Of 1947 the
prices Of most of these items either
had leveled off or were actually

NEWS REVIEW
Reds Assume Control
OF Czech Government

There were six days Of crisis in
Czechoslovakia and then it was all
over-the Communists were IN COM
plete control of that nation Of 13 mil
lion population.
The iron curtain came down with
a muff1ed clang as President Eduard
\Benes accepted the resignation Of IA
of his cabinet ministers after he had
refused for week to do so.
Into power strobe Communist
Premier Klement Gottwald who had
led his party upward from minority
status in Czechoslovakia until now
its members dominated every phase
of the nations life and were pre-
pared to swing it directly into the
orbit Of other Soviet satellites.
WELDING the club to keep the
Czechs in line was Gottwald's good
right hand, Vaclav Nosek, minister
of the interior, who controls all
Czechoslovakian police forces. In

below the levels OF a year previous,
the study says.
In manufa ctured goods, the sup
ply of small radios recently has
overhowed the level of demand,
with prices skidding in many cities.
Large radios are very close to cur
rent demand, as are washing ma
chimes, stoves and deep-freeze units.
AS long as consumers demand
goods despite rising prices, the
study pointed out, the manufacturer
will pay higher and still higher
costs for materials and labor,
rather than have his production
shut down and his flow of goods to
the consumer cut off. Retail stores
buy his finished products despite
higher manufacturing costs be-
cause they know their customers
want the goods.
Arizona sun., 1948-03-12

But when enough consumers indi-
cate they will not pay increased
prices, then manufa cturers and
stores stiffen their own resistance
to higher prices of materials, wage
boosts and the resulting price mark
ups for the finished goods because
it is evident that such further in
creases will prevent the products
from being sold.
When demand falls off and meets
rising supply, the result is halt in
the price rise and often a sharp
downturn. Sometimes consumers.
merchants and manufacturers all
decide that prices are going to keen
on declining and therefore cut their
buying still more all along the line.
Downward price spirals usually
start in that way, the study oh.

quarters.
That was Republican Sen. Wayne
Morse of Oregon. Morse assails "the
conservative leadership" of his own
party as vigorously as he scores re-
action in the Democratic party.
I already have discussed Wallace
and his third party "split." There
are those who think it of so little
importance that it can be ignored.
Some now are predicting that be-
fore the election, Wallace will be
granted some concession, some ad-
vantage, and will come out for Tru-
man for president. I wouldn't 60
that far, but have heard the pre-
diction in more than one quarter.
Republicans are supposed to
welcome Wallace to the race,
and to count on him to cut down
the Democratic vote to some
=. thing almost Insignificant.
Let me quote Senator Morse on
that subject, as his words appeared
in an article in the February issue
of the Progressive magazine. Morse
says that Wallace mustn't be taken
too seriously. but that he mustn't be
ignored either. He adds:
LET my Republican party never
forget that there are not enough
Republicans to elect a Republican
president, nor enough Democrats to
elect a Democrat as president. For
tunately there are not enough
fellow-travellers to elect Wallace"
"Splits" can't be ignored, it is
true. They are important because
there is always the possibility that
the splitters might find another Ted
dy Roosevelt to lead them. That
can't happen often, though, and
meanwhile splits are fun to watch.

that powerful position in a Commu-
nist-dominated state Nosek was
analogous to the mailed glove on the
dictator's fist.
For what it was worth-and that
was very little - aging President
Benes had managed to keep at least
superficial appearance of repre-
sentative government by insisting
that the government be composed of
members Of other parties of the
national front which reinstated the
Czechoslovak republic in 1945 when
the Germans were being driven out.
But it was a hollow, tasteless VIC
tory-meaningless in any practical
application.
The new government consists Of
IL Communists (there were seven
before), four Social Democrats, two
Czech National Socialists, two Cath
olic Peoples party members, one
Slovak Democrat and two non-party
men, Jan Masaryk as foreign min
lister and Gen. Ludwig Svoboda as
minister of defense.
Bewildered Czechs finally knew
their cherished republic had come
to a grim end when loud speakers
in Prague blared this announce
ment into the night:
Reaction has been beaten. Go
back to work and let us complete
our tasks on the two year plan."
In Czechoslovakia's ironic chro-
nology the surging wall Of the Red
tide engulfed their country just 10
years after the western Allies had
sold the nation TO Hitler at Munich
in a tragically selfish and fatile
effort to avoid war and save their
own skins at the price Of just one
small Central European state.

Inside Info Exaggerated

There has been remarkable inter-
est recently in charges that Wash
ington officials used ''inside infor-
nation" obtained because of their
connection with the government to
play the markets. The other day
one highly placed gentleman came
to me in quite a stew.
''Have you heard the rumor that
I was being charged with playing
the market on information got
from the White House?" he asked.
'sNo," I replied. ''Who is doing
the charging?"
'That's what I want to find out, I"
he sputtered.
WELL" I answered, surprised at
his wrath, ''you certainly. don't feel
insulted by it, do you? Anybody can
be charged with anything in an cleo
ton year."
81 certainly am insulted," he
came back, "nOt because my
!, honor is being impugned, but it
Is an insult to my intelligence to
imply that anyone who has been
around Washington as long as /
have would be such an asst"
When I first came to Washington
as a reporter, I remember there
was a minor scandal on leaks"
that had been used for profit. The
chief offender, however, was a pub
Ncity man, not an official, and from
the standpoint of business it proved
q fine thing for him. AS soon as the
charges that he had obtained con-
Ndential information and had
passed it on to his client were made
public he had a dozen offers from
other big firms to get on their pay
rolls. He did, but it wasn't long be-
fore he left Washington. He didn't
get any more condolences.
A lesser factor in the affair was
a newspaper reporter. 1t was dis
covered that he was on the payroll
Of a brokerage firm to whom he
phoned anything he thought might
be of interest after he had written
his story for his paper whose last
edition had an early afternoon dead
line. It was shown that the brokers
paid him all of $25 month. In the
investigation it also was shown that
while he knew what was news for a
newspaper, the reporter had only
the foggiest idea Of what would in
terest a broker as he probably
never owned share of stock in his
life. He was duly fred from the
paper, and suspended from the
Press club. but nobody was too
sore.

dicated, it was stupidity rather
than hack Of virtue which was
his chief sin.

wondered whether Austria, France
and Italy might not be clampeG
soon in the Communist wise.
There was general agreement on
one fact, at least: That the Com
munist coup in Czechoslovakia had
forged perhaps the most vital link
in the Russian chain intended to
shackle the Marshall plan.
. In Finland and Italy, as in Czech
oslovakia, elections were coming
up soon and the Communists were
out for victory. Finland, like Czech
oslovakia, is ruled by a coalition
government which has acknowl-
edged that the country must re-
main on the best of terms with
Russia.

Car and Truck Output
This Year Amounts 10
|4,550,000 Vehicles
By Dovid J. WiIk,e
Assoeiotsd Press Avsometivs Editor.

| Assoeiotsd Press Avtomotivs Editor.
DETROIT, Nov. 13.-All the car
industry's assembly lines were in
operation this week to mark up
again a 100,000-plus unit output.
The week saw Cadillac and Olds-
mobile put their 1949 models on the
assembly lines and Buick gain some
momentum on production of its new
cars. BY preparing for the change
over we'll in advance all three Gen.
eral Motors divisions were able to
make the switch to new model pro-
duction with only brief assembly
line idleness.
Still to go over to 194S model as
sembly among the GIN units are
Pontiac and Chevrolet. Both are re-
ported to have their preliminary
work well advanced.
The trade paper, Automotive News,
estimated this weeks production at
112,521 vehicles, compared with last
weeks 112,787.
Total car and truck output so far
this year amounts to about 1850 900
vehicles. That's amount 100000
units ahead of the output volume for
the same period of 1947. Apparently
only a complete. breakdown can
keep the industry from approximat-
ing the 1929 record output of $685.
420 vehicles
OF the years total production
about 435,000 cars and trucks will
be shipped abroad. That will be a
sharp decline from last year-a drop
of about $4,000 units.
The export slump has been con-
slant through most Of the year and
there is nothing in the present out
look to indicate next years busi-
ness abroad will show any improve
ment, according to most industry
analysts.
