Not Hopeful About Russian Atomic Control Plan

WASHINGTON, P)-President Truman said yesterday he hopes the world can avoid an armaments race, but expressed doubt that Russia's expected new proposal on atomic energy control will be ac- ceptable.
 The President emphasized anew his hope that the United Nations can be brought into a position of strength so that atomic control can be lodged in it.
 A reporter at the Presidents news conference asked if he was Joking forward with interest to the forthcoming Russian proposal on atomic energy.
 Not especially" MT. Truman replied.
 The President was asked whe- ther his announcement of an atomic blast in Russia might have made it more possible to reach agreement with the Soviet on the atom. He said he couldn't answer that and then went on:
 We have made the most import ant proposition in the history of the world on atomic energy. The Russians did not see fit to accept it. The United States position will not be changed now.
 MT. Truman commented that no other country in history, posses sing a terrible weapon, ever of- fered to subject it to world con- trol.
 The Russians have made several proposals that cannot be accepted, the President went on, adding; It probably will be the same thing this time.
 As for the Russian atomic ex- ploSion announced by him Sep tember 23, MT. Truman said he has made all the statements con- corning it that he intends to make.
 In reply to another question, the President expressed hope there will be no arms race as a result of the Russian devlopment.

Houses Passes New Expanded Social Security Program

WASHINGTON, R - Riding a triumphant B to l4 House vote, legislation vastly expanding the nations social security program moved over to the Senate today
 It would add 100000 to the 35,OOO,O0O workers now covered by old age insurance.
 Its sponsors voiced hope if would lessen strikes and strife over labor demands for pensions wholly financed by employers. In the federal program workers and employers share equally the cost of the benefits the workers later re- ceive.
 Senate approval is considered virtually certain - sometime be- fore the 1850 fall elections.
 Chairman George O.-GaD of the Senate finance committee said the Senate is bound to vote for higher security benefits, but will not be able to act before tte second ses- sion of the 81st Congress convenes in January.
 Tn new bill would raise the minimum old age benefit from $1O a month to S25 month. It would increase the maximum benefit for an elderly couple from $85 to around $126 a month.

Sensible Questions

In connection with the current u. S.-British financial
negotiations in Washington reader has raised question
which American workers, in their interest will do well
to ponder Writes correspondent, Brtish-born natur-
allied American citizen:
Judging from the American business press and
the gratuitous advice of ECA Administrator Paul G..
Hoffman to the British to double and treble their sales

primarily by cutting the workers wages Naturally the

World War II Japan menace to world economy
because her workers willing to work hard for very
low wages and produce goods cheaply that they
could compete favoraby in any market In what way
it be in the interests of the United States to advise
the British to follow this example?"
The Sunday Pictorial of London edtoriazes much in
the vein:
"You (Amercans) scream at us for failing to sell
goods in the American marketour prices, you say,
are too high. Yet, aren't you cripplng dollar

We think both friends and the British newspaper

Plun

The newspapers have made much recently of the fan
tastc of money the Government has paid to potato
farmers under the present farm support program and they
have left the impression that this is the program favored
by the Truman administration
The truth is that President Truman has sought to
rect this wasefu SYSTEM but Congress has refused to go
along. The Brannan Farm plan would the dual pur
pose of protecting the farmer against sudden and disastrous
collapse of farm prcesa catastrophe that would hurt work
ing people in the city well farmers-and yet at the
same time permit prices of farm commodities to drop.
The Brannan plan would also limit the amount of sub
sidy that could be paid farmer thus ending such
shocking payment of 100000 of Government
money to some potato growers.
The Brannan plan is designed to help the working
farmer family sized farms and to help workers in the
city by bringing food prices down.
