Nourse never testified before
Congress. But he began to make
speeches. Former Secretary of De-
tense Forrestal urged him to give
talks on economics at two orient
alton courses in the Pentagon, to
be attended by top military and
civilian leaders. Nourse was du-
blous and talked to President
Truman about it. The President is
reported to have told him to 60
ahead. The speeches were to have
been off-the-record. But when
some of his listeners related what
they had heard, Nourse gave out
copies in order to keep the record
straight.
His second speech, on April S,
touched off a political explosion.
He spoke of the North Atlantic
pact and of providing arms for the
pact nations. He said it wouldn't be
economically safe simply to add
such an expense to the present
government budget. Promptly the
foes OF the administration turned
Nourse's argument to their own
uses. Anti-Marshall Plan forces
anti-Atlantic Pact legislators and
eeonomy-minded members of Con
gress all found ammunition in
Nourse's suggestions. Some OBJ
servers thought they detected iso-
latlonism in administration circles
or antago2ism between the econ
omlsts and the military leaders.
The President found it neces
sary a couple of days later to saw
flatly at his press conference thai
he had no intention of deductine
the cost of Atlantic Pack arms
from the admiministration's pre.
sent military budget. One econom.
lst, commenting on Nourse's un.

Politics For White
House Economists


WASHINGTON The Presi
dents Council of Economic Advis-
ers started out with a noble inten-
ton to keep out of politics re-
gardless of whether he wants to be.
DR.. Edwin G. Nourse, the coun-
cil's chairman, is reported to have
sponsored, late in 1916, the idea
that the council should remain
aloof from the machinery of govern
ment. The other two members OF
the council acquiesced for a year
and a half. The council had been
urged TO testify before the Con-
gressional Joint Committee on the
Economic Report, to discuss with
the members the councils SEMI
annual statement to the President.
But when Senator Taft, then
committee chairman, was told OF
the councils wish not to be involv-
ed in controversy which was
bound to have political implica-
tions. he did not insist that they
appear.
But last summer two of the
councilmen began to talk. Leon II
Keyserling testified before a con-
gressional committee on behalf ot
the administrations anti-inflation
bill. John D. Clark testified before
another congressional. committee.
When the new chairman of the
Joint Committee on the Economic
Report, Senator O'Mahoney, re-
newed the invitation to the council
this session, Keyserling and Clark
agreed to testify. They ardently
supported the ADMINISTRATORS an.
ti-inflation program, and the brick
bats began to fly. Legislators, at

The Charter does not, according to
DIR. Gibson, take the place of the
UN, in that it is an agreement be-
tween several nations, whereas the
UN is concerned with a universal
plan to unite all countries of the
world in universal peace. He also
said Speaking as a historian ra-

Meanwhile a controversy con-
tinues within the council itself.
Keyserling and Clark have suppor-
ted the Presidents plea for stand
by controls to combat any renewal
of initiation. Nourse, feeling that
we are now in a state of healthy
"disinflation," doesn't feel that
such controls should now be adop-
ted.
This kind of situation was ant
icipated by the Hoover Commits
sion on Organization of the Execu-
tive Branch. The commission said
the Council is handicapped by be-
ing a multiheaded body. The COM
mission recommended that the
council "be replaced by an Office
of the Economic Adviser and that
it have a single head"
An economist who worked with
the commission said that this re-
port was submitted to the White
House before it was released and
received favorable review.
