"Se|fish Interests !" Attacked By President for Urging Cut
 Impending by Federal Govt.
By MARVIN L. ARROWSMITH

By MARVIN l.. ARROWSMITH
 WASHINGTON. July IA -tR- President Trumans sharp attack or selfish interests urging drastic cuts in federal spending collided today with both Democratic and Republican criticism in Congress.
 So did his assertion that many people would like to have de- pression for political reasons" On the other hand, Senator Pep per (D-Fla called MT Truman's arguments reasonable common sense and full of practical justifi- cation"
 The President spoke out last night in telling the nation about his new program designed to ex- pand production and avert more serious business slump. He went on both the radio and television.
 We shall have to be sure" the President said. that the selfish interests do not drive us into the ditch, as they have done before" !"
 As he did in the economic report he sent to Congress last Monday. MT. Truman said: We are not in a depression Many people who talk of a depression, he said, would like to have on flor political req sons.'
 One Worry, However
 But he added that the increase in the number of people out of work lis something to worry about, and something that must be cured'
 The President again lit into the Republican-ruled 80th Congress of l947-48 for cutting income taxes. He criticized it, too, for refusing to enact the anti initiation program he wanted then but now has aban- doned because. he said, of changed conditions.
 He called those policies blunders on the part of the 80th Congress and he said selfish interests were to blame. Then he added:
 Now these same selfish interests are urging us to commit a third great blunder. They are now urg- ng drastic cuts in government ex- penditures-cuts which would fall hardest on those expenditures which are most important to our domestic economy"
 60 Senators Hit
 That was an obvious reference to the move in Congress to trim fed eral spending Tn the Senate, for example, more than SO Senators -- Democrats and Republicans have signed petition urging action on a resolution directing the Presi- dent to cut appropriations for the current fiscal year by from five to 10 per cent

The W ashington Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON Copyright. ls4s. by Bell Syndicate. Inc. ]

V ASHINGTON- Before Secre-
 ary of the Treasury Snyder left
 or Europe he had highly impor-
 ant and secret talk with President Truman in which he outlined his plans for getting the British to ievalue the pound.
 This is the real purpose of Sny- ier's sudden trip-despite all the publicity camouflage about consul
 ation with U. s. Financial experts. Reason for the camouflage is that the Treasury doesn't want the British public to know that we are trying to run their currency from this side of the Atlantic.
 Sir Stafford Cripps. head of Brit
 sh economy, had informed Wash 5ngton even before Snyder left that tf the United States insisted on hevaluing the pound he would re- |sign. This would probably mean B general election in England.
 Three members of the Truman Cabinet also disagree with Shy |der-Secretary of State Acheson. Secretary of Agriculture Brannon |hnd Secretary of Labor Tobin. Brannon and Tobin don't want to |devalue the pound because the less |value the pound has the less it will buy of American cotton, tobacco, pork, etc. Sir Stafford Cripps has somewhat the same thing in mind though from a different angle. If |the pound is depreciated. the Brit

MT Truman explained that he is dropping his request for $4.000.- 0c0,000 tax increase because he does not want to injure the economic health of the country" Indicat- ing the alternative is red ink spending, he added:
 You cannot achieve a surplus in the government budget when you have declining national economy if we follow the wrong bud- get policy at this time and slash our expenditures, we will decrease employment, cut down investment. weaken our defenses. and injure our efforts for peace"
 Economic Spending
 Senator Mcclellan tD-Ark). chief sponsor of the economy resolution, commented that there are certain contemplated expenditures for pub lie works that would of course stimulate our economy" but he added
 There are other savings that can and should be made, and it is the duty of the President and Congress jointly to bring about such economies"
 Republicans let loose with hot ter criticism. Said House Minor ity Leader Martin of Massachu- setts
 Hot Criticism
 Every day the Democratic 8Ist Congress is in session makes the Republican 80th Congress look bet ter. The President may be fool ing himself, but he isn't fooling many other people.
 If cutting taxes last year was such an awful blunder, I don't know why the President isn't stand ing by his original request for a S4,000,000,000 tax increase
 Senator Millikin tR-Colo), who steered the GOP-sponsored reduc- tion through the Senate last year. remarked.
 The President does not now un- derstand the value of the tax cut any more than he did at the time it was enacted over his veto. The tax reduction put s5,0OC, ,00O, 900 in- to the hands of most people for their own spending-the most dy- mamie spending of all.
 "If there had not been a cut, goodness only knows now deep the present depression would have plunged
 But one Republican who voted for the tax reduction said he now egards 1t as "a mistake--one of the very few the 80th Congress made" Senator Flanders of Vermont. noting MT. Truman's criticism of the cut. remarked:
 He's got us there all right. I voted for it, knew I was doing wrong at the time, and have re- gretted it ever since"

HOUSING AND JOBS
AT OLYMPIA
Two young women clerical
workers whom the Urban League
placed In the Department of State
offices at Olympia we're hard
pressed to find living quarters be-
cause of the community sentiment
against Negroes. Finally. how
ever a courageous Caucasian rent
ed them rooms in her home and
was promptly snubbed by commu-
nifty residents for doing SO. thus
making 1t difficult to rent other
rooms in her home-a thing upon
which she depended as a means of
livelihood. All but one of her
roomers moved and others refus-
ed to rent from her.
This denial OF housing to Ne
groes in the State Capital hinders
opportunities for jobs in govern
ment offices which should be
available for qualified seekers
without regard to race. This was
apparent when the League was
called upon recently. by the Olym-
pia Ministerial Alliance, to ad-
wise on the problem of improv-
ing community relations.
A League staff member met
with the ministerial group and
advised that an interracial COM
mittee of residents be organized
to assist in developing better I'M
derstanding. The League has also
promised to pay another visit to
Olympia when the Alliance feels
the need of it.
