the Democratic ranks over differ
ent parts of the Presidents de-
mands on Congress.
A significant feature of the stu
alton in Washington is shown by
the fact that the S1st Congress is
not being bossed by anybody-not
even by Mr.. Truman.
Leaders in the Democratic Con-
gress have been trying very hard
to work out compromise measures
that will save the face" of Presi-
dent Truman. The President had a
basket-full of measures that he
passed onto Congress and most of
his recommendation have been
put in political cold storage.
Big Democrats support the pres
ident in his demands for a repeal
of the Taft-Hartly Act-but the
chances are that this will be a de-
feat for the Administration. The
White House has grown weaker
and weaker ever since Congress
received orders that it must obey
the President.

yes and the Toward cost of certain
material items.
Thus, these cars and trucks now
cost $40 to $50 less than they did
a few months ago because of man
agement's policy Of passing along
these savings to consumers. With
General Motors producing upward
of 250,0OO units monthly buyers of
products will save millions of dol
lars during the siX-month, period.
Employees also achieved sign
ificant gain this week. Although
their cost-of-liVing allowance was
reduced one cent an hour, they
realized a three cent hourly incr-
ease under the improvement fac
tor" of General Motors unique
wage formula. The net effect is that
employees purchasing power has
been enhanced substantially.
This price and wage adjustment
action was a constructive move
from every point Of view. 1t is the
type of bold action that inspires
confidence in the operations of our
competitive economy. It's signic-
ance was stated well by Harlow IL.
Curtice, GINS executive vice-pres-
ident.
Our price action" he said, ere
presents an expression of our bas-
ic operating philosophy. 1t is TO
produce fine products at the low
est possible cost to consumers.
That is what we mean when we
say, More and Better Things for
More People"
That, we believe, is sound opera
ting philosophy for any company.

from the service for anything
other than actual combat disabil-
ity may not work for the Gov
ernment (under civil service ju-
risdiction and draw a combina-
tion of retired pay and salary in
excess of $4,000 a year. If a re-
tired officer does take a job under
civil service jurisdiction and If his
salary plus his retired pay does
exceed $4,000 (as would be highly
likely, he must give up part or all
of one or the other.
But once that retired officer is
also retired from Government en-
ployment and has built up credits
under the civil service retirement
plans. the limit is automatically
removed and he may draw all of
both benefits-his retirement pay
