moved by the recent spectacle of France brought the edge of economic prostration by series of strikes of clearly political origin.
 The odd circumstances, which De Gaule apparently discounts, is that the workers themselves finally beed against having to participate in strikes that had more of political than economic motivation behind them. Indeed the workers rriated at those sponsbe for the strikes that under the leadership of Leon Jouhaux, about million of them have withdrawn from the General Confederation of Labor C. G.

 In the meantime, of De Gaulle's six points was anticipated and will be put into effect by the Schu man governments.
 That is the that urges drastic increase in col lections in an effort to combat imitation.
 On five separate votes the assembly supported the government in it's determination to put sharply increased tax law
 From now until the late spring or early summer, when elections for the national assembly be held the Schuman government should enjoy breathing spell in which its recovery program will have chance to get under way.
 If that does happen the moderate parties that form the third force" between Communism and Gaullsm may succeed when the elections held in recovering much of the ground they lost the municipal elections
 The victory which seemed so close for General De Gaulle not so many weeks ago is definitely receding

A Light On De Caulle
(By Barnet NOVer)

THE ECONOMIC ELIXIR which Gen Charles de Gaule has brewed for France looks like very strong medicine for that harassed nation Clearly designed to the fourth republic of it's debilities it contains - gradients that might conceivably kill the patient
 However, it is doubtful whether in it's present form the De Gaue plan will be tried Its chief significance at the moment is to be found in the light it throws the generals thinking and his approach to the grave problems that confront the French nation and people,
 De Gaues six-point plan contains liassez fare prn ciples that would delight National Association of Manufacturers. It also includes provision that straight out of that cooperative state which the late and unlamented Bento Mussolin proclaimed in Italy cou- pie of decades ago. with loud beating of the Fascist be liberal of the nineteenth century school He does not believe that the government is best which governs least On the contrary this latest occasion the past, he out in favor of strong national regime that would be given vast new powers of the kind which the existing government does not possess
 De Gaulle is determined that if he comes into power he will be no figurehead.
 At the same time however, De Gaulle wants Frances economy liberated from it's present restraints He would have all the existing controls lifted except on coal milk bread sugar and fats. Like other French leaders, he favors great increase in production.
 Most striking and also most controversial of the points in the De Gaue program is the in which he urges the abolition of trade unions
 In their place he would set up worker-management- groups that would be completely free of political control It is this point in his program which however different it's intent may be- resembles in form and sub stance the Mussonan idea of the cooperative state and will stir up cyclone of wrath around De Gaules head
 What impelled De Gaule to make such far-reaching proposal at this time is not clear He may have been

senator MOrSe mas taken tn sensible position all along ths grain isn't the only food the Unite States should send to relieve huI ger in Europe. Surpluses of oth' foodstuffs-poultry, eggs, came goods, dehydrated vegetable dried fruits, etc.-should be us, in place of so much grain. Maj European countries would pref wheat. But what we send shou be what we can best spare.
 President Truman cast a ski fully baited hook into the l9 campaign stream. The domes part of his 'state of the unio message is his vote bait. It is culated to attract ballots from cry group in the nation. The Pr ident proposes tax cuts for ev' individual taxpayer and each pendent. He recommends exp sion of social security, federal nancial aid to states to equa educational opportunities, incre ing the minimum wage from cents an hour to 75 cents, "a e prehenSive insurance system protect all our people eau against insecurities and ill heal equal opportunities in educa jobs and voting for everyb "modernized" farm price supr to protect farmers against fluc tions in production and demand
 So far as the President is cerned, politically, it makes difference what Congress with his program. He can credit wherever his recome tions are followed. And he blame a Republican Congre his suggestions are rejected.
 Last year President Truman toed two tax reduction bills D by the Republican Congress said, among other things, tha not the right time to cut taxes 1948, being a campaign year, appropriate time for tax And the President, very cle has figured out a tax red, plan which will appeal to in ual prejudices and enable tf ministration to have it's cak eat it, too.
 President Truman would every individual taxpayer each dependent $40 tax GU at the same time boost corpc taxes by 3,2OO million doll offset that. This is an adal of the soak the rich" which is good ballot bait. A beauty of it, from the admi ton standpoint, is that the g ment will have just as money to spend as now.

Of Miss Hennock, Judge Marion Harron

Somehow, President Truman was
persuaded to issue an executive
order permitting Judge Hill another

term ends. Eleven judges on the
court are over 60 and four over 10.
Judge Harron is A.
Four incumbent Tax Court judges
were renominated actually: Judges
Harron. Hill, Richard L. Disney,
whose brother Is a former member
of Congress. and Byron B. Harlan,
who has served only two years. On
IL hours notice. a meeting Of the
Finance Committee was called to
consider them. Senator Millikin
tossed out two names-Hill and Dis
ney-and they were approved.
Shushed by George.
When q Senator asked about the
others, Senator George shushed him.
I'VE ought to be satisfied with two
out of four" he said.
Yes" Senator Millikin said COM
placently, well just keep the other
two in the refrigerator"
Appointed in 1885, Judge Harron
has worked through difficult years
when a vigorous Treasury set out to
correct the intricate system of tax
evasions that developed with the in
come tax amendment. The quality
of her work shouts from the record
of her SIG cases only 2 per cent
have been reversed, which makes
her the court valedictorian.
Judge Harron knew she was a
pioneer, that she would be judged
vigorously on her record. She has
made her record; apparently 1t
doesn't count. The only answer her
friends can get is that she's New
Dealer.
Past custom has been to reappoint
tax judges on a non-partisan basis
on their records. Since 1882, four
were nominated and

Such a diatribe against country
which is well outside what the So
VETS regard as their defensive sphere
can suggest only one thing, the
of pressure to give the
Danish Communist party-which the
Soviet describes as small but with
tremendous influence among the
workers. more commanding po-
sition in Danish politics and to pre-
pare the Russian people for per-
haps heavier blasts to follow.
In connection with the begin

although it may be delayed until
after the American elections in

Norway.
Important is the fact that Norway

USSR, following the annexation by
Russia Of Finnish land in the Fin

Once Norway is in Soviet hands,
Sweden will be isolated and beyond

Soviet control of the whole Eurasian

Washington is keenly aware that
the next great Soviet threat to the
