Thomas Backs Price Drive
But Holds II Inadequate
By the Associated Press

NEW YORK, July 28.-Norman
Thomas, Socialist presidential can
didate, says Southern Democrats
and G. o. P. members of Congress
will make a great mistake If they
fail to act" on President Truman s
anti-inf1ation program.
Mr.. Thomas said yesterday in a
statement that he supports the
anti-inflation program
"as far as 1t goes. but it is made
quate and his discussion of infla-
ton is superficial"
He cannot take the credit he
took at Philadelphia for American
prosperity" Mr.. Thomas said, "and
then denounce imitation as solely
due to legislative failure.
Prosperity under the profit sys-
TEN, especially under an arms econ
omy such as we now have, is in
evitably inf1ationary until it breaks.
At best it can only be curbed."
Mr.. Thomas said Socialists are
pleased that both old parties have
had to take over so many meas
ures they once called socialistic."

Committee Meeting
I0n World Wheat Pact
Called by vandenberg
BY the Asseeio,sd Press

CHAIRMAN fanuenDcrG Oh tne SEN
ate Foreign Relations Committee
has promised that his committee
will review the entire situation"
involving the proposed international
wheat treaty. which President Tru-
man insisted the Senate should
ratify.
Senator Vandenberg called
meeting for tomorrow, noting that
the treaty was the only foreign
policy matter submitted in the
Presidents message yesterday which
requires Senate action.
Mr.. Truman described the pro-
posed 35-nation agreement as de
signed to insure stability in the
world wheat market in the years
ahead when wheat will be more
plentiful" He said 1t would guar
antee American farmers an export
market of 5000. 900 bushels Of
wheat at a fair price during each
of the next five years.
Complicated Agreement.
In a statement commenting on
the Presidents request Senator
Vandenberg said:
1T Is one of the most complicated
agreements ever submitted for our
consideration and 1t Is subject Of
serious controversy. 1t was not
sent to the Senate until April 80,
1948.
"A subcommittee consisting of
Senators Lodge. Capper and George

opinion of the subcommittee and

sibility to take the treaty to the

Committee in Quandry.
I'VE find ourselves in a quandry
to know how we can now act upon
treaty which, by its own terms
and interpretations, had to be rati-
fed prior to July !. The problem
is further complicated by the with
drawal Of previous ratifications by
five countries, including two i'm
portant wheat producers, since July

contemplation that new subject

plfcated character must have time

ment should have been ratified by

bIoodIess Revolution
Blueprint Is Given
Germans byCzechR Red
By Doyid M. Nichol
Foreign Correspondent Of The s,or ond
the Chicago Dolly News


BERLIN, July IA Blueprint
for a bloodless revolution by which
the Russian-sponsored Socialist
Unity Party hopes to take over Ber-
lin has come to light.
This blueprint, thinly disguished
as talk to group of German
newspapermen in the paneled COM
mittee room of the party's section
on culture and education" earlier
this week, was provided by Andre
Simone, foreign affairs expert for
the Czech Red organ, Rude Pravo.
Andre Simone is a mild, graying
man, who shed his cooat because of
the heat and spoke in soft, pleas
ant voice. But there could be no
missing the implications of his
words.
Relates Czech Revolution.
The main burden of his lecture
was a chronology of the revolution
which made Czechoslovakia one
more of Eastern Europe's peoples
democracies" last February. Paral-
lels with what is being prepared
for Berlin were inescapable.
The Czech government, Simone
said, had been virtually inactive for
two months before the crisis. The
same charge is now being leveled
by the Russians through their tame
Socialist Unity Party against Ber-
Inns elected leaders. The Czech
government was permitting ruin of
the country's currency, Simone said.
The Russians here today devoted
columns of newsspace to the en-
ragged charges that Berlins elected
government was "sabotaging" the
new currency exchange-second in
the month-which is now under way
in Eastern Germany and the So
Wet sector of Berlin.
There were spies, Simone said, in
the industrial centers of Czecho-
slovakia This theme has been yelled
so loudly here, it is almost an alb
surdity.
Then, under daily headings,
Simone described how the crisis
had been forced in the government,
how new list of ministers had
been presented the ailing Benes,
how mass meetings had given dem
ocratic" approval, how action COM
mittees had been established, how
the Social Democrats had been
purged, how Parliament had passed
reforms" which made Czecho-
slovakia what it is today.
Materials for Incidents.
The required incident here in
Berlin may grow from the dismissal
of Police President Paul Markgraf,
which the Russians have counter
manded. Or it may come from ef-
forts by the Russians to place the
entire blame for the currency and
food distribution mess on Berlin's
elected officials rather than Soviet
bureaucracy and its German coun-
terparts.
A putsch by Russian sponsored
leaders could easily be successful in
the Soviet sector of the city where
Berlin's central administrative Of
fees are located. There action COM
mittees would have the backing of
the Soviet-organized police who al
ready are much more heavily armed
than those in other sections of the
city.
The Western Allies would be COM
PEELED to set up their own three
sector government which the police
row might precipitate. The Russians
want just that. 1t would give them
an excuse for charging again that
the Western powers follow the pol
icy of splitting Germany and for
making new demands that the
Western authorities be driven out OF
Berlin.

INTERIOR-Max w. Ball, direc-
tor Of Interior Departments Oil and

within the next month or so.
His reason for leaving the Gov
ernment is the same one that has

during the past few years: A better

NO CHANCE-Meanwhile, there
is no hope of action on revisions of
the Federal Classification Act dur
ing this special session Of Congress.
Chairman LANCER of the Senate
Civil Service Committee, says he is
considering introducing pay legisla-
tion during the special session. But
there doesn't seem to be any chance
that Congress will act on it until
next year.
Both the House and Senate Civil
Service Committees are working on
revisions of the Federal pay struc-
ture, and Chairman Rees of the
House groups says his staff's work
won't be completed until next
January.
Administration officials still have
a faint hope that Congress, while
waiting for the Classification Act
revisions for rank-and- file employees
to be presented to 1t next year,
might lift the $4,000 ceiling during
the special session to give substan-
ton pay boosts to top Federal on
cials. But barring the unexpected,
top-grade salary boosts also won't
be considered until next year.

bers However, commission officials
consulted with the White House and
received approval for their plan
to staff the board with outstanding
officials.
In practice and working procedure,
it will be similar to the operations
of the Federal Loyalty Review Board
in the Governments loyalty investi-
cation program, which also is COM
posed of top-notch private citizens.
The commission believes the drive
to stamp out discrimination in the
Government, wherever it might
exist, will fare better under board
composed of outsiders. In this way,
the board can be completely indie
pendent and objective without re-
gard to embarrassing situations with
which commission officials might
find themselves confronted, in deal
ing with other Federal agencies.
It's believed the public. as well
as Government employees, will have
more confidence in the impartiality
of this kind of a board, which, in
cidentally, will be composed of seven
members. The board will operate
on time basis, convening
only when individual cases are
brought before it which involve al
legged discrimination in Federal
bureaus.
Meanwhile, the CIO United Public

complained frequently in the past
of alleged discrimination against
employees in Government, has issued

Richardson, an UPWA official. said
Mr.. Truman's order was step in

of the board from commission juris-
