SOCIAL SECURITY DELAYED

Washington LPA) = Despite
early optimism, members of the
House Ways & Means Committee
do not now expect to report their
1949 Social Security act to the
House before the end of July. On
the basis of unofficial preliminary
drafts, union officials have ex-
pressed grave alarm that the COM
mittee's bill will ignore the main
points of President Truman's pro-
posals, and may leave the social
security system in worse shape
than it is at present.

labor and other progressive ele-
ments were locked in battle with
power trust lobbies on many fronts
during the past week. Among the
highlights of the struggle were
these:
"a Liberals in the United States
Senate rallied their forces to re-
store funds for the Department of
Interior to build power lines for
the transmission of low-cost Juice"
from government dams. These
funds were cut out by the Senate
Appropriations Committee under
pressure from private utilities.
(2) Advocates of a Columbia
Valley Authority for the north
west, similar to the IVA, fought
for congressional approval of the
project, while power trust repre-
sentatives tried to knife it.
(3) A new tug-of-war got under
way in the capital over the issue
of who is to control the big Cen
tral Valley of California-small
farmers or big mass production
agriculturists allied with the Pac-
ific Gas & Electric Company.
(4) Governor Ernest w. Gibson
of Vermont revealed that power
trust agents, after plying MEM
bers of the legislature with liquor,
succeeded in blocking approval of
a proposed New England Develop
ment Authority to help bring
cheaper power to that region.
The Interior Department battle
involved a basic issue-should low
cost power developed by the gov
ernment at its own dams be car
ried on government-owned lines,
or be turned over to private utili-
ties to transmit the power at any
rates they choose to charge!
When the Interior bill passed
the House, it contained appropri-
ations for public power projects,
including transmission lines which
would carry the electricity to towns
and cities in the areas close to the
projects.
However, when the measure
cleared the Senate Appropriations
Committee, it was almost entirely
shorn of funds for the transmits
ion lines-exactly in line with what
representatives of the private COM
panies had demanded at commit
tee hearings.
Liberals, shocked by this sabot-
age, are closing ranks in the SEN
ate to fight for reversal of the
committees action when the issue
comes up for vote.
In the case of the Columbia
Valley Authority, the struggle is
still in the stage of Senate and
House committee hearings. Pres
ident Truman has come out with a
vigorous appeal for passage of the
legislation, and strong testimony
for the project was given by Sec
retary of the Interior julius A.
Krug.
Most Northwest members of
Congress are backing the eva
bill which also has the support of
labor and farm organizations in
the region.
One of the shocking features of
the fight was the one-sided conduct
of the House Public Works Com
mittee in hearings on the bill
under the Craftsmanship of Con-
gressman William NJ. Wilmington,
reactionary Democrat from Miss
issippi.
Wilmington made short shrift
of grass roots" witnesses from

Meat prices edged a shade low

PORK ITEMS DOWN
Some stores reduced a few pork
items to ten cents a pound but
at least one large chain said
pork prices had steadied after
the long downtrend. It marked
up loin chops three cents a pound

down slightly in most places,
veal about unchanged. ).
Top grade eggs continued their

have dropped about IL cents a

A few brands of coffee were
boosted four cents pound at the

ON most produce shelves this
week snap beans, beets, cauli-
flower, cucumbers, radishes and
SQUASH all were somewhat lower
nriced. Tomatoes were marked
down as good supplies reached
markets from several sources.

should take into consideration this fact: During
l948 the Army and Air Force had $40 military
and 557 civilian employees working full time on
public relations, and 43l military men and 1877
civilians working part time On them. These
people spent their time preparing materials for

The Navy also has hundreds OF persons en-
gagged In the same activities. In June Of last
year, Representative SABBATH mentioned the sum
Of sl5.0o0.0oO as being spent by the military for
propaganda.
In July of 1947, the House Committee on Ex-
penditures in the Executive Department unani-
mously adopted resolution stating that such
use of Government money by the War Depart
ment was improper and illegal. Yet 1t continues
unabated. The resolution also states: Govern
ment propaganda is designed, in most in
stances, to make the individual believe he is
thinking for himself. In reality, Government
propaganda distorts facts, with such authority
that the person becomes prejudiced or biased
in the direction which the Government propa-
gandists wish to lead national thinking"
And thus it Is that many persons who believe
they do their own thinking, in reality have
their minds made up for them in the Pentagon.
