'0bstructionists'
Hit By Truman

Chicago (LPA)-President Tru-
man last week dubbed opposition
to administration legislation deal
ing with labor, housing rent con-
troll, Natl Health Insurance and
the European Recovery Program
as "only a defeatist expedient."
"EXpediency can never win a
real victory" Truman said, in an
opening message to liberal and
labor leaders attending the 3-day
convention of Americans for Demo
cratic Action, which opened here.
The message was addressed to
Sen. Hubert Humphrey Cd, MINI. J.,
ADA's Acting Natl Chairman.
Temporary success for exped-
fence is only time out in the march
of progress-a hollow victory that
soon turns to defeat" stated the
Chief Executive. "A program won
the 194S election. | hope that all
Americans of whatever political
faith will not lose sight of the
moral of our recent political his
tory.
"We are carrying out the pro-
gram which we offered to the vot-
ers last year." he added. "In carry
ing out that program we are not
making everyone happy. Some say
we are moving too fast. Others say
we are moving too slow.
"As long as the people know
where we are going and that we
are going there, | do not worry
over petty and temporary victories
by obstructionists, nor do | worry
about the future of liberalism in
America.

to the US. In many European ma
tions unions led by socialists and
those supported by Catholic or
Protestant churches present similar
problems, and in some cases more
difficult ones than those based upon
the non-political, non-religious di-
vision of the American labor move
ment into two major federations.
Statements were received in
Washington last week from the ex-
ecutive committee of the strong
and democratic trade union move
ments of Norway and Denmark,
which are still in the now complete
ly Communist dominated WFTU.
Both Of these reports indicate that
the forthcoming conventions of the
Scandinavian federations will dis
affiliate from the WFTU, and take
an active role in creating the kind
of new international federation of
labor which both the AFL and
CIO want.

Myers Bill Would
Drive Hole Thru
Antitrust Laws

Washington (LPA) - Hearings
on bill by Sen. Francis Myers
Cd, Pa.) which would give steel
companies a two-year holiday from
policing by the Federal Trade
Commission, wound up last week
with FTC officials claiming that
the bill is "neither necessary nor
desirable, would lead to more con-
fusion about geographic pricing
methods and would make enforce
ment of the Clayton antitrust act
more difficult"
Administration leaders have lin
I'd up on the same side as the Natl
Association of Manufacturers in
regards to the bill. NAM filed a
statement favoring the legislation,
with the reservation that the mea-
sure doesn't go quite far enough.
1t also demanded an investigation
of ETC, pointing to criticisms
made of the agency in recent
Hoover Commission report. The
Justice Dept refused to express
any view about the desirability of
the scheme but said it has "no SER
ious objection" to it.
In a telegram to Attorney Gen
eral Tom Clark, the Natl Fedora
ton of Small Business expressed
shock at the statement that the
Justice Dept would not oppose the
bill. "Small business in the US
over the last several years has
been fighting the battle of its life
against the inroads of concentrat-
ed monopoly business" said the
wire. "Small business has been
losing this battle largely because
Of lack Of adequate antitrust law
enforcement, making itself felt at
the local level" The proposed leg
islation, it maintained, woul d
"drive a hole thru" present anti
trust laws.
Union officials had testified
against the bill earlier, voicing
similar complaints about it. Sen.
Myers has expressed confidence
that the measure will be passed.

WARSAW, Poland (AP) -
Persons who go to Jail in Poland
usually stay there long time be-
fore they face a trial court. The Sc

their Investigations of persons
whom they arrest. Thus, it's not
uncommon for accused to be inn
prisoned a year or more before
they are tried.
Most of the arrests now being
made by security police are based
on 'anti-state activities" or alleg-
ed membership in underground
hands which seek to overthrow the
government by force.
Employees of foreign embassies

India Fixes Payments
To Princes

NEW DELHI-(AP)- The Nizam
of Hyderabad, once reputed the
worlds richest man, is being shorn
of his private landed property in
return for a fixed privy purse.
His 1000 square mile of private
estates had been yielding MIN an
annual income of 30,000,0O0 rupees
($9,000,000). These were brought
under direct government manage
ment in return for an annual prlVy
purse of million rupees.
The Nizam's privy purse, fixed
at 5 million rupees after the police
action of mid-September, has now
been increased to 10 million rupees.
This includes what formerly used
to be paid from the state treasury
to his two sons and their wives.
The government of Hyderabad is
at present drafting rules for taking
ever 10000 square miles of private
estates owned by handful OF Mus
| linn and Hindu landlords inside the
state. The government proposes to
pay them annual pensions, to be de-
creased by stages every year, Pay
ment of a lump sum compensation
would amount to colossal figure
Compared with what the IndiaT
princes receive, the Nizarn is still
well-off. Two maharajahs receiv,
each one-fourth of what the Nizan
is given. They are the Maharajah'
of Gwalior and Baroda, each receiv
ing $4,000 900 rupees per year. Tn
rest get considerably less.
