WE WERE FOR 1T ALL ALONG!

New York (LPA)-Those cries
of anguish that came from the
Foley Square hearing room while
the steel companies were explain
ing how the United Steelworkers'
proposals for pensions would Kill
them dead were all phonies. The
NY Journal of Commerce, faithful
mouthpiece of big business, said
blandly the day after the report
was made public: "While a fixed
liability would be added to the
overhead of steel companies, the
trend has been toward increased
pension and security costs and sucn
a development has been regarded
as inevitable by students of the IN
dustry."

Grips Freezes
Wages. Boosts
Profit Tex

London UPA) - Sir Stafford
Cripps, Britain's Laborite Chan
cellor Of the Exchequer, outlined a
10-point national economic pro-
gram including a solid freeze on
personal incomes from wages, sal
aries and profits.
He called for the new measures
at a special session of Parliament
in which the entire devaluation
Question will be debated. The Labor
government will stand or fall by
the vote taken at the three-day de-
bates end.
The freeze on wages will make
the life Of British workers even
more austere than it has been, for
prices have been rising as a result
of the drop in the pounds value.
However, Mr.. Cripps also demand
ed that all price increases be kept
at an absolute minimum.
To balance the wage freeze, the
chancellor asked that the tax on
distributed profits be raised to 80
percent, an increase Of five percent
above the present level.
The wage freeze can be put in
force by executive action, but there
must be legislative action on the
profit tax.
Other action demanded by Cripps
included giving priority to exports
to dollar areas even at the expense
of old customers, reduction of
home markets, and a cut in gov
ernment expenses except for social
services and defense.

Smear Weapon Used BY Utilities
To Block Confirmation of OIds

Washington LPA) = Private
power interests, spearheaded by
the natural gas producers, are try
ing to block President Truman's
nomination of Leland Olds, most
vigorous defender of the public in
terest on the Federal Power Com
mission, by smearing him as a
Communist" an advocate of abol-
ishing the 4th of July, and sup
porter of public ownership of
utilities.
Rep. John E. Lyle Cd, Tex.)
took several hours of the Senate
Commerce subcommittee's time at
tacking articles Olds wrote for
Federated Press between 1924 and
1929, which Lyle presented to the
committee in the form of photo
stats of FP dispatches printed in
the Daily Worker, Communist
party publication.
Relying later on the same day,
Olds reminded the Senator'S that
"FP, as | understood it, was set
up as membership association of
labor papers" and in the period
when he was FPS industrial editor
"every effort was made to keep the
service from reflecting the slant of
any particular wing of the labor
movement"
The nominee described FTP in
1920's as a "forerunner of the pre-
sent Labor Press Association"
"My articles" Olds asserted,
"were not written as an advocate
of any program. If anything, they
were designed to reveal the irres-
ponsible conduct of the big corpor-
ations and the financial system
during the Golden Twenties' by
those in high financial positions
and the extent to which such irres-
ponsible conduct created increas-
ingly serious problems which labor
and farmers must solve thru en-
lightened economic and political
action. AS early as 1927, | began
to point to indications of the COM
ing crash"
The FPC nominee-who has al
ready served two five-year terms
also recalled to the committee
his work as economist for the
AFL's railway employees Depart
ment, for the Railway Clerks-AFL,
and other unions in the early 20's
when these unions pioneered in
fighting for the union shop and a
living wage.
Denying that he ever sympath-
lied with the Communist party
Zone of the Daily Worker photo
stats suggested a vote for Norman
Thomas, Socialist candidate, in
1929, Olds insisted: 81 did not
think then and | do not think now
that private enterprise in the
1920's was providing decent
family wage or assurance of secur-
ity or even protection for the mod
est savings which small investors
entrusted to it.
81 was against the kind of open
shop capitalism which cracked
workers over the head if they
sought to organize the big mass
production industries. But the de-
preston, which inevitably follow
ed the failure of private enterprise
to accept it's social responsibility
in that period, led to the great re-
forms of the '30s which completely
changed the old laissez faire cap
italism into a new model with much
better chance of survival"
He cited evidence that during
this period l was anticipating by a
good many years the effort or or
ganizations of today to prevent

Unions And Farm
Groups Support
Truman Nominee

Washington LPA) - The unions
of the country, plus the Natl
Grange and the Natl Farmers
Union, have come to the support Of
Leland Olds, President Truman's
nominee for another term on the
Federal Power Commission.
1t is the producers Of natural
gas, whose production the FPC is
trying to regulate in the public in
terest, who are fighting Olds, CIO
spokesman Donald Montgomery
told the Senate Interstate Com
merce Subcommittee.
President Al Hayes of the Int'l
Association of Machinists, in
statement read TO the Senators by
Chairman Lyndon Johnson ID,
Tex asserted that 'fhis record as
commissioner has been without
reproach !. Specifically, the 600,-
900 members of the lam and their
families endorse Mr.. Olds because
he has campaigned consistently
against exorbitant electric and gas
rates. He has protected their in
terests by forcing greedy utility
companies to revalue their ac-
counts, thus lowering the capital
ization on which the utility rates
are based"
at is only natural" Hayes said,
"that in his clear record Of protect
ing the interests of the public he
has met the opposition of those
private utilities who are bent on
exploiting the public. Today these
selfish interests representing the
power lobbies are trying to defeat
Mr.. Olds' confirmation by the use
of the undemocratic methods of
smears, lies. and insinuations."
Montgomery, presenting g the
CLOS endorsement, pointed out
that colds has been chief spokes-
man for the Commission in oppos-
ing the effort of the oil companies
to amend the Natural Gas Act so
as to over-rule the decision Of the
Supreme Court in the Interstate
case and thus get out from under
government regulation on their
sales of natural gas to interstate
pipeline companies. This appears
to be the major reason for opposi-
tion to Olds' reappointment. If so,
it is a major reason why he should
be confirmed"
More than a dozen spokesmen
for the oil and natural gas produc-
ers had appeared before the sub
committee by the time public hear
ings ended Sept. 20. Rep. John E.
Miles Cd, NM, former governor
of the state, appeared to lead on
with the frankest explanation of
the gas interests position.
"My opposition is based primar-
lily on the fear that if the view
point he expresses is to dominate
the FPC, it will seriously retard the
development of natural gas wild
caters that are just getting under
way in New Mexico. l believe in
states rights. These Independents
are not going to continue their
activities if they know that the
FPC will set the rates they can
charge the pipeline companies,
Miles said.
Supporting Olds in the final
hours of the hearings were j. I.

city attorneys of Pittsburgh, Kan

The centuries-long struggle
in England was for a system of
government which should COM
bine freedom with efficiency
and local rights with national
union" All of our institutions
rest on that rock. Local rights,
and responsibilities, too, are
still vital to free men. And ma
tional union can be strong on
ly when it is properly dove
tailed with local rights.
Whether or not Herbert
Hoover will be the ultimate vic
tor in his advocacy of the prin-
ciples of freedom, the great
est Of his many great UNDER
takings, will be known only
when the pages Of the history
of tomorrow are written and
read. They will record whether
or not today's and tomorrow's
generations have heard and
weighed his words and chung
to, advanced and strengthened
the principles of liberty which
he has so ably interpreted and
lived.
The Herbert Hoover who
was the worlds hero during
World War I and in the years
following it, the American vii
lain in the early 1905, and it's
admirable, able statesman to-
day is one and the same man.
His principles and purposes to-
day are just as high and just as
strong as they were thirty years
ago.
He has not come back. He
could not. He has not been
away. Nor can the sweeping
shift in public opinion about
him from the low of the 1905
to the high of today be explain
ed with the phrase, "You can't
keep a good man down." The
phrase does not apply because
it was the public, not Hoover,
that was DOWNTOWN in dis
tress and fear, down to it's bas-
err qualities of prejudice and
selfish purpose.
